Bolivard: Autisme
Bolivard’s “Autisme” is a question that refuses diagnosis, a pop track that turns identity into a loop instead of an answer. The repeated line, “Es-tu autiste ? Es-tu sur le spectre ?”, does not seek clarity, it builds a space…

Luigi Maria Maesano: Gravity shift
Luigi Maria Maesano’s “Gravity Shift” is a controlled loss of balance, a piece where structure gives way without collapsing. The piano sets the terms early, not as a dominant voice but as a point of departure, introducing a harmonic language…
Tim Bowman: Come With Me (Lets Take a Ride)
Tim Bowman’s “Come With Me (Let’s Take a Ride)” is not an invitation, it is control disguised as ease, a smooth jazz track that organizes movement so precisely it feels like freedom. The guitar leads from the front, clean and…
Sargassi: Va’ dove t’importa, cuore (Album)
“Va’ dove t’importa, cuore” is a record about emotional defense mechanisms, and Gabriele Martelloni, the Umbrian songwriter behind Sargassi, knows that the most effective ones are the ones that look like jokes. Across ten songs that toggle between electric guitars…
OUDi – ONLY TATTOO
OUDi’s “ONLY TATTOO” begins with the understanding that some permanences fade faster than temporary things, the tattoo remaining while the face it memorializes dissolves. The song operates in the panic of watching a beloved image blur in real time, the…

Lily Vakili’s “Anybody Knows” traps time in amber, capturing the specific weight of a clock that refuses to tick while someone remains absent. The song operates in the suspended animation of waiting, where digits on every wrist and wall freeze…
Sjana Rut: Burn the Matches.
Sjana Rut’s “Burn the Matches” locates agency in absence, finding the power pop anthem’s voltage in silence rather than explosion. The Icelandic artist packages severance in bright, nostalgic syntax, turning the sing-along chorus toward a recognition that some fires are…
Alexandra Stan, One Love Nation: Fly ( Sarà perché ti amo).
“Fly (Sarà perché ti amo)” by Alexandra Stan and One Love Nation is less a tribute and more a geographic hijacking of a shared European memory. By grafting the melodic DNA of Ricchi e Poveri onto a contemporary Afrobeat chassis,…
CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso, Jack Black: GOO GOO GA GA.
“GOO GOO GA GA” functions as a sonic lobotomy, a deliberate retreat into infantilism to survive the suffocating weight of global relevance. CA7RIEL and Paco Amoroso, joined by the manic energy of Jack Black, use the aesthetics of a nursery…
Carbon City Lights – Sky Blue
“Sky Blue” by Carbon City Lights is an admission of moral exhaustion that finds a sudden, almost visual relief. The song operates on the premise that change does not come from a total erasure of the past, but from the…
