‘Colorful Mind (EP)’ by Lucille Alison

‘Colorful Mind (EP)’ by Lucille Alison From Paris, or rather she now lives in Brussels, comes a lot of good music, and Lucille Alison's pop/soul/jazz fusion is definitely one of them. At home in timeless modernity, she is always reminiscent of past greats.  Her charisma is emotional, jazzy, and unadulterated, straight from and to the soul, so to speak.   ‘Colorful Mind’ is the lead track of her EP and highlights the transformative power of art as a means of overcoming inner struggles. The song begins with a reflection on the unpredictability of life, symbolized by the wind and dancing leaves, and suggests a sense of being lost in a crazy world. Nevertheless, it invites the listener to give the universe a smile. A powerful mantra in the chorus emphasizes the importance of self-confidence and inner strength.

New Nostalgia meets Noir Art-Pop: "Seedy Grammar" by Frank Joshua

"Seedy Grammar" by Frank Joshua

The story of a man who outwardly displays a stable and unshakeable personality, yet is inwardly plagued by fear and anger, presents a protagonist who, despite his apparent strength and infallibility, fails to recognize the true value of what he possesses. 
Frank Joshua explores the inner turmoil of this protagonist, who finds himself in a conflict without a clear goal, prompting self-reflection. His latest work, “Seedy Grammar,” demonstrates that we often experience inner conflicts without manifesting them outwardly. Although we find satisfaction in specific activities, we often miss the essential aspects of life, as true happiness is not generated by external recognition. A constant struggle can be deemed pointless if the essential has already been attained. True fulfillment and understanding must arise from within, not from external sources. 
With “Seedy Grammar,” Frank Joshua not only offers a preview of the upcoming album but also a musical reorientation that, I must say, is exceptionally well-executed. The musical presentation is somewhat darker, with a more retro-inspired style, without appearing outdated. Instead, new nostalgia meets elegant noir art-pop, which not only excites me but also leaves me wanting more. 
Frank Joshua’s artistic output is impressively diverse and consistently refreshing. “Seedy Grammar” takes us on a journey through a labyrinth of emotions and thoughts, where one can lose oneself and simultaneously find oneself.
