‘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.

Through Modern Life’s Maze: “Mad About You” by Frank Joshua

“Mad About You” by Frank Joshua

The song “Mad About You” by Frank Joshua addresses the everyday challenges and inner conflicts that many people experience
It describes a monotonous routine dominated by obligations and consumerism, showing how daydreams can serve as an escape from reality. At the same time, societal issues such as environmental pollution and political machinations are criticized, reflecting a critical view of the world. 
The song highlights the inner conflict between the desire to address the world’s problems and the need to focus on one’s own feelings and relationships. Overall, the song portrays people who must navigate a complex and often overwhelming world but find solace in love. 
Musically, it draws from the acoustic folk genre and blends in a bit of electro-pop, with Frank’s velvety voice steering it towards what can be described as “Joshua-pop.” Personally, I find the combination brilliant; you start off expecting something folky, and then Frank completely surprises you, placing you in the midst of a pop song that never forgets its folky roots. So, we will call it simply “Joshua-Electro-Folk-pop at its finest.”
