Heart Shaped Locket by Shallow Alcove
The essence of nostalgia and desperately holding onto memories is beautifully encapsulated in “Heart Shaped Locket”. The soft vocals deliver the painfully raw lyricism in an alluring fashion, while a delightful guitar supports it. While the message of the song is incredibly powerful, and a sentiment we have all felt, it contrasts divinely with singer, Grace Krichbaum, gentle rendering, “Never have enough time for my scarcity complex / Every moment feels gone before it leaves me”.
When The Devil Speaks… by ThxSoMch

Devotionally honest lyrics alongside beautiful harmonies, ‘Coffee’ is a special song with an energy one cannot explain, but rather only feel. This unconditional love expressed through the lyricism creates a warm atmosphere while listening to Montagu’s sweet vocals. Soft guitar strums and steady drum beats during the chorus make the track all the more personal, “If you want me, I would be there in a heartbeat / Call me and I’ll bring you coffee.”

An intoxicating electric guitar flows throughout with a reverb that adds a special depth to the song. The melody is enticing, to say the least, as Artemas’ vocals are deeply sultry and raw. While this is a different version of “if you think i’m pretty” by Artemas, this version’s vibe is more alt-rock and has a slower rhythm, “I know that you’re shitty and you’re bad for me, but I can’t stop thinkin’ bout it.”
OPENHEARTED by anaiis
Gracefully elegant, ‘OPENHEARTED’ transcends the usual R&B track by blending a variety of instrumentals with soothing vocals. A harp opens the track with piano keys floating through the song, while the lyrics express allowing emotions to guide you through life naturally. A mellow drum beat produces a unique sound with the twinkling strings, “We can’t escape / Won’t let our love evade us.”
Walked In The Room by Channel Tres
Exceptionally confident, ‘Walked In The Room’ is THE ultimate groovy dance track for the club. With a sustained melody, a quick beat, and sparkling synths, the song is catchy and energetic. The echoing vocals at the end extend the effortlessly cool vibe, “I don’t think about it/Show up — I get to work/Don’t doubt me, baby, I kill the chaos with a smirk.”
