Angelina’s Corner: Roundup
Words by Angelina Singer
Maybe We’re All by John Sierra
I absolutely loved the layered messaging of this track written all about the universality of the human experience. Whether it’s love, loss, or something in between - this song unites us all under a warm blanket of acceptance. Best enjoyed with a warm cup of tea or cocoa, let yourself sink into these velvety vocals and cozy acoustic guitar and subtle piano notes.
Where vulnerability meets gritty folklore, this debut project by Gavin McGee is a hidden gem. The message is all about mindfulness while falling in love, and the fear around opening yourself up to someone new. With bright guitar notes that float and weave around the vocals, bringing you on an adventure, there’s truly so much to love here. Listen daily for best results in your love life and beyond
What Fathers Do by Sophie Chassée
This bright pop song brings a tough subject to the forefront, of addressing a strained relationship with her father and how it might affect how she experiences love in the future. The energy is aggressive but liberating, with bright tones and quick stops in the bridge section. It’s full of positivity despite the massive call-out. This is a great song to relate to if you relate to the feeling of being left out of a typical childhood dynamic.
I Like My Life the Way It Is by Trueblood ft homescool
This group of brothers know how to rock for real - so they teamed up with vocalist homescool to round out their sound. Between the slick vocals, rapping, and full-band arrangement, this is a song you have to hear to believe. From the layered beats and even a guitar solo, this is one brand you’ll want to say you knew from the beginning. With a positive message of gratitude, it can’t be beat. Listen loud and repeat until your neighbors complain.
This song is such a warm hug for anyone still finding their way. While it’s pretty simplistic, with just acoustic guitar and warm vocals, the message really shines. I loved the clarity of the studio mix, and the love and care behind each lyric that promotes a sense of awareness and humility. Ideal for a chilled-out campfire session, or even just a relaxed journaling break, you’ll feel at home with the song “I’m Lost Too” by Andy Robbins.
