Some songs announce themselves like they’re running for office. Big choruses, flashy riffs, a handshake for every voter. Fiona Amaka’s Cowards and Shadows is… not that.

Over the meadows, love shines on. Over the meadows, we’re listening to “A New Page” on repeat. This simple yet impactful cottagecore-esque song is a big win for indie-pop and folk fans out there. This one is for everyone hurting, for everyone trying their best, and for everyone who is working up the courage to

This song is a lovely combination of alternative rock and folk, all for the love of sending out a message that should be ingrained in everyone’s minds in this time and day. “Business As Usual” is all about a significant topic turned into an anthem, a mantra for people to be inspired to take a

Some songs narrate heartbreak with a distinct poetic ache—wrapping it with delicate melodies. Mallorca-based artist Emland does the opposite.
