‘Garden of Letters’ by Carlos Ucedda

‘Garden of Letters’ by  Carlos Ucedda Carlos Ucedda, who has been very active this year, also ends the year with one last great release. As always, the keyword is art-pop, and this year he has given it an enormously colourful variety, combining it with avant-garde pop or a touch of post-punk and dark wave.  ‘Garden of Letters’, the new release, follows the path of 80s dream/synth pop and provides a wonderful musical framework for the lyrics. The lyrics thematise the duality of love and loss. The song shows how love can be a source of joy and inspiration as well as pain and longing. The preservation and remembrance of past feelings indicate an attempt to preserve the emotional value and meaning of past relationships. The capriciousness of love, the failure of romantic promises, and the search for meaning and comfort in memories of past affection.   The listener is invited to reflect on the transience and emotional complexity of human relationships.

Inspiration that Leads to Contentment: ‘Dance With Darkness’ by Rufus Joseph

‘Dance With Darkness’ by Rufus Joseph

Rufus Joseph’s musical work is characterized by the deep complexity of life. His songs are not only imbued with his own experiences but also explore the emotional and psychological landscapes behind them. Stories become themes, and these in turn become songs, songs that invite us to become a part of them or the story. 
The latest release from the British singer-songwriter, who incidentally hails from Stoke-on-Trent, is called ‘Dance With Darkness’ and deals with the topic of facing feelings that originate in mental darkness, understanding them, and categorizing their existence. Even the tough times have their role in the healing process. Dealing with this topic and reflecting on it certainly opens up new perspectives and can contribute to strengthening self-confidence and increasing joie de vivre. 
Musically, he takes a melancholic approach and builds on a soundscape that creates a dreamy loneliness in which you can lose yourself without feeling lost. The soft vocals float over the woods like the misty haze after a long rain; you have the feeling of having arrived without having been searching. Whatever you were looking for, you've found it. ‘Dance With Darkness’ by Rufus Joseph is 4 minutes and 15 seconds of inspiration that culminates in contentment.
