To me, holding on is a song about letting go; looking at a broken relationship, or an identity given to you in childhood, and realising that is no longer serves you. There’s a profound difficulty in letting things change, so the chorus is a kind of affirmation to acknowledge the pain of moving on. With gentle self-compassion, we can let go of comfortable definitions of ourselves, and move into the freedom of something more true.

Feel It All (Willow's Song)

"Paradise" is a free and easy song derived around embracing nature with warm feel good melodies. It captures Mitch's raw acoustic style with a twist of Folk and country. With breezy rhythms and calming lyrics, the track evokes memories of golden days by the sea—where the noise fades and everything feels just right.

Swedish singer-songwriter Francis Moon return with new single 'I let the poems have you', a collab release with Sine Wave Square. It's a breakup song about the struggle to move on, and captures the thoughts that linger when love ends and how memories keep returning no matter how hard you try. Honest and vulnerable, it’s for anyone who has found themselves replaying the past in their head.

Francis Moon & Sine Wave Square - I let the poems have you

Raised in Antigua & Barbuda on mangoes, calypso, and the ocean, Joshu crafts quietly beautiful indie folk songs meant for gentle afternoons or silent moments alone.  With British roots, his Caribbean childhood was steeped in the eclectic musical tastes of his parents and the island.  From John Martyn to Jack Johnson to King Short Shirt, these influences have inspired a beautiful combination of folk and groove with deep lyrical content.

His first EP Lines of Time, co-produced with Justin “JusBus” Nation (John Legend, Jah Cure, Kes) garnered over 2 million streams, with the single Where Did the Time Go winning the John Lennon Songwriting Contest in 2019.  Following this success, they collaborated again on the follow-up Ocean Daze EP, which interwove gaelic-inspired melodies and West Indian rhythms for a soft, nostalgic island sound.

Emerging from the pandemic, just as his covid project was getting dangerously close to becoming a full time job (he started a mushroom farm), Joshu returned with a Mahogany Session, featuring the title track of his new EP, way back home.  Inspired by a journey sailing across the Atlantic, the record serves as an introspective exploration of place, pondering how one comes to belong in a land, and the quiet discomfort of never feeling truly at home.
