“She’s Like the Sea” by House of Light

“She’s Like the Sea” by House of Light The first song of the day is “She’s Like the Sea” (from the album  Nervous Systems)  by House of Light. For fans of the band, it’s a familiar sound: an outstanding, dreamy shoegaze vibe that sneaks into the listener’s thoughts and takes them away from everyday life for a few minutes.   The song’s theme revolves around a relationship characterised by its slow, calming, and cleansing effect. The lyrics paint a picture of a relationship where the person acts like the sea - she comes slowly and soothingly, cleansing and clearing the mind. The fear of loneliness, a part of human existence, is expressed through the song’s slow tempo, highlighting that uncertainties and doubts are unhelpful.  Overall, the song conveys a message of emotional depth, healing, and determination, reinforced by the recurring metaphor of the sea.

... about the irony of being a kid ... : “Sour Grapes” by Maya Yenn

Maya Yenn

“Sour Grapes” by Maya Yenn

Alt-pop artist Maya Yenn is back with another freshly-squeezed offering. Refreshing as a tall, ice-cold glass of lemonade and just as bitter, “Sour Grapes” is a downright catchy tune full of nostalgic warmth, bleeps and bloops from half remembered video games and R&B-inspired beats that speaks to the frustrations of growing up.
The track opens with the click of a loading cassette tape as it warps into life and Yenn hums along serenely to a woozy lo-fi-sounding guitar. The heady scene is abruptly shattered by a video game gun blaring like an alarm clock at 6am and we are plunged straight into the track: defiant hip-hop-tinged beats, 8-bit-sounding bass and insistent vocals envelope you as you’re met head-on with Yenn’s confessional lyrics, “Supposed to be on top now / Supposed to have it all figured out now”.



Maya Yenn, Sour Grapes
Maya Yenn ist zurück mit einem "frisch gepressten" Release, “Sour Grapes” heißt das perfekt produzierte Stück, welches mit heute auf den Markt kommt. Trotzige Hip-Hop Beats ringen mit LoFi Gitarren, abgeschmeckt wird mit etwas Nostalgie. 
"Sour Grapes is basically about the irony of being a kid and looking forward to all the freedom you’re going to have as an adult and then you get there and feel like you actually had it better as a kid", erklärt Maya. 
Und genau hier schließt sich der Kreis zwischen Lyrics und Soundselection. Wer genau hinhört wird sich an vertraute Klänge seiner Kindheit erinnern. Zusammenfassend kann man sagen: Alternative Pop von Maya Yenn, wie immer erfrischend und überraschend, aber vor allem hörenswert!
