N.A. Parsons – “Lucerne”
-I’d be tempted to call this “power pop” due to how much it has those syrupy Beatles and Beach Boys harmonies. That said, the heart of the song feels more like a folk song. It has a heavy lyrical theme that doesn’t quite resonate with that “pop” style. It’s definitely a song that feels optimistic and jovial but is quite dark. We’re ok with that, though. It’s a sophistication that we’re happy to support with our coverage and hope you all will give it serious consideration.
Josh Golden – “St Louis, Missouri”
-There’s something inherently sweet about the phrasing and songwriting of this song. I appreciate the unhurried style of the folksy phrasing. If you’ve ever sat in a coffeeshop you’ve probably heard an acoustic folk song like this. The nostalgic energy to the lyrics is enjoyable if a bit emotional, honestly. If you’ve ever had a break up with someone that was good but not good for you… this song will resonate. It’s definitely the kind of song that sneaks up on you like an easy going fun track but then hits emotionally a lot deeper than you expect. We’re certainly happy to support it here.
Mindy Gledhill – “Charming”
-I have zero apologies about how much I like this song. It’s a wonderful bit of songwriting with jazzy influences and delicate piano work. The whimsical theatricality works perfectly well on this production but the voice… good heavens the voice… is what makes this one a real treat. It’s a timeless sound that feels like it could have been recorded in Frankie’s Rat Pack era, but we’re certainly happy to feature it here in the 21st century. Fans of Laufey and Dodie Clark are going to find a lot to like on this new track from the rising songstress Mindy Gledhill.
