‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst, Rosie Byron, Jama NV

‘MAGIC!’ by Oghamyst, Rosie Byron, Jama NV The year is also coming to an end for Oghamyst, but not without another release on the market. ‘MAGIC!’ is the name of the great pop tune created in collaboration with Rosie Byron and Jama NV.   The song paints a picture of life characterized by light and shadow - a balancing act between ecstatic joy and deep sorrow. ‘MAGIC!’ is an ode to human resilience and the ability to find moments of magic despite all the adversity one encounters during their journey. The passage ‘ Share a little laughter, Share a little cry ’ reminds us that shared experiences, whether happy or sad, make life worth living. Acceptance as a simple wish and the search for a dream that can be pursued are the common threads of the theme.  Musically, with ‘MAGIC!’, Oghamyst wields a fine blade in the genre of contemporary pop, infused with a good dose of sadness. The instrumentation is extremely well done, with twists and turns that keep the track interesting....

The Fragility of Being": 'drink up' by Adeline V. Lopez

'drink up' by Adeline V. Lopez

(c) by the artist (Adeline V. Lopez)
Adeline V. Lopez, frequently featured on our blog, delivers her best work yet with 'drink up.' The 18-year-old, known for her pop sound and tales of teenage life, takes a more mature direction with her latest release, venturing into Dark Pop - a style that suits her well. The synth-heavy sound of her previous tracks is replaced by an acoustic guitar, and while her vocals remain excellent, they now exude a more mature and reflective tone.
Lyrically, 'drink up' deals with the struggle to be oneself rather than conforming to others' expectations, highlighting how decisions are often made by others for their own benefit. The cover, inspired by Audrey Hepburn's iconic image with a martini glass, features a hand bringing the glass to the mouth—a metaphor for the inability to act.
The song's mood is contemplative, melancholic, and sad. Adeline V. Lopez reminds us of how fragile a person can be when encountering the wrong people, and how easily one can be deceived. 'drink up' articulates experiences in a thought-provoking way and is a testament to Adeline V. Lopez's artistic acumen, making us appreciate the depth she brings to her music.
