wsteaway – “Lonely”

Wsteaway’s newest song “Lonely” begins with an ambiance of beautiful distortion. A strummed guitar and keys make the sounds of electric chimes in a forest – ethereal. They sing “let me feel something. Make me feel alright. when you get lonely, what crosses your mind?” 

This song is perfect for all those moments you find yourself alone, heartbroken over something you can’t even name. Walking alone, driving alone, in your room alone. The strumming in the track replicates the feeling of a lonely heart, beating achingly. 

“Lonely” fades out with the sound of a strummed guitar and the artist’s humming, carrying it back into an abyss. 

Wsteaway debuts on Spotify with “Lonely”, and this track shows the dreamlike worlds that the artist is capable of taking their listeners to.

We can’t wait to hear more.

Chanel Loren – “Playlist”

Chanel Loren masters infectious pop in “Playlist”. The song’s chorus is unbelievably catchy – “I’m not on your playlist baby, you have changed your playlist lately. That girl’s on your playlist ain’t she?”

The song is about someone who tells you things that they don’t mean. “I made you this playlist but you’d probably never hear it. You never wanna talk about your feelings.” Chanel Loren captures these confusing feelings in a song about modern love in the modern world. We’ve all made a playlist for someone or received one. And we know that we sometimes use them to communicate our feelings. So we know they mean a lot.

Chanel Loren describes this situation and the disappointment it can provoke: “You want my lovin’ but you never wanna get it right.” 

“Playlist” deserves its spot on your latest favorite songs playlist. Check it out below:

Sorry Mom – “Molly Sells Molly By The Seashore”

The intro of this track feels galactic. The first lyrics push you into an angsty indie rhythm – “her name is Molly, she sells molly by the seashore!” It’s a song about a love that keeps you twisted and entranced. The energy of this track is familiar to those who are fans of 90’s femme punk. It’s full of that “fuck you” attitude and gut-spilling honesty. “You better watch her back, that girl will leave you on the floor”.

Following Soccer Mom’s 2021 EP Juno Goes to the Big House, “Molly Sells Molly By The Seashore” proves that punk isn’t dead – it’s just getting better.

The track winds with a distorted guitar solo and closes out with the singer yelling desperately “my molly!”

Self-described as “dark pop club sounds like Grimes and Magdalena Bay”, Pink Fruit’s newest song is the moment. In a beautiful ending repeating “baby, maybe” between humming “ooo’s”, Pink Fruit ascends from the cosmic dancefloor and leaves us awestruck.

Pom Pom Squad – “Popular”

“Popular” featuring Matthew Caws of alt-rock band Nada Surf is Pom Pom Squad’s latest release. The song feels exactly like the song you’d hear in an epic high school movie, where a newly formed pop-punk band practices tirelessly in their garage and goes from underdog to that – popular.

The singer starts by listening off “rules for breaking up” going between speaking cuts and singing along to the track. The speaking, booming over a guitar and drum instrumental is refreshing and made a la pure pop punk.

Pom Pom Squad continues to spin punk to their fingertips with sneaker kicks and fun lyrics in a way that leaves you feeling young again.

Girlpool- “Lie Love Lullaby”

“Lie Love Lullaby” begins with a small static humming that sends small needles of electricity in your brain. The singer’s voice comes over the sound singing “knock out my envy, let me go” in a voice stirring and low like the strum of an electric guitar.

“What’s a lie love lullaby when we sing it every night?” the duo, comprised of Avery Tucker and Harmony Tividad, sing. The song speeds up with an instrumental that feels like the pressing of buttons sending you up like an elevator, deeper into the cavity in your brain. The song is a track about a striking and body-captivating love. The person you cannot get rid of, the person that haunts.

“I know how it always goes” are the words of defeat sang over Girlpool’s orchestration of a gritty dark magic sonic plane. What’s a love lie lullaby?
