Track Review

Have you ever had something happen in a distinct place all at once, leaving you conflicted on what to think, and whether or not to cherish or move past it? In this song, memories and emotions are revisited, of what seems to be a string of joyous moments leading up to heartbreak. The New Citizen […]

Living for the moment, let the rhythm unfold! “Let The Good Times Roll” is a combination of the straightforwardness of disco music and the complexities of every element that makes up the entire song. Not only does it inflict the feeling of wanting to get up and dance, but it also radiates nostalgia with how

Let’s be honest: most love songs are either shouting from rooftops or weeping into a bathtub. What makes Maddy Low’s “To Be Near” remarkable is that it does neither and still manages to hurt in the best way. At just 18, Maddy Low (who already has award-winning film score work under her belt, because apparently

“All Along” by The Proper Hustlers doesn’t strut into the room demanding attention. Rather, it drifts in like a memory you didn’t invite but suddenly can’t stop thinking about.

There’s something undeniably magnetic about a debut that knows exactly what it wants to be. LED’s first single is just that: assured, dreamy, and deceptively sharp around the edges.

There are memories that stay with us for a long time — not as burdens but something that carries us forward. And most of the time, it’s the people and moments we spent with them that shapes the person we are today. Palm Lakes touched and unearthed these moments with their latest single “Everything I’ve

Growing as a wise and experienced adult does not happen overnight. It won’t arrive in a single moment where everything suddenly falls into place. It hits piece by piece without time slowing down. Yet, despite feeling like you’re running out of time, there’s still a sense of hope that comes when you realize that everyone’s

Talk about saying ‘I love you’ without actually saying it. With a complex, intercountry influential background, “Happy Place” is simple and cohesive at its core, as if all of the essentials are taken from it and brought about through a personal and meaningful perspective. On top of that, you might just have a person pop

With a concept that is sure to pull a melodramatic audience right in, Lawrence Timoni describes this song as ‘imposter syndrome in summer groove’ which is witty yet accurate in itself. It’s another indie/alternative gem that may remind listeners of beloved acts like Tame Impala, Arctic Monkeys… the list goes on. But, despite those influences, there’s something
