Artists like Sophia St Helen, George Edward, and Takar Nabam craft reflective and sweet spring expanses.
Sophia St Helen – Time Has Changed Me
When you listen to Sophia St Helen, you can feel the essence of her mind. Like mist on a cold morning, it drenches you slightly, subtly, immersively. That’s what makes her latest release, ‘Time Has Changed Me’ the perfect song to enjoy on a sharp spring morning. Her vocals cast a refreshing daze, making you feel like you’re floating in sleep but lucid in your feelings. With lush strokes of electric guitars, she expands this surreality to a point of contemplative grandeur. Think Neil Young in the blended realm of Joni Mitchell and Adele. Listen Now!
George Edward – Half a World Away
George Edward, like Hozier, uses acoustics like ink. He builds depth, and an ability to soak the listener into it. His baritones bleed with sacred sentiments, vulnerable and vast. In his latest single, ‘Half a World Away’, the artist crafts a veiled dream, dimmed by melancholy and a daydreaming romance. Guitar melodies trickle, twinkle and detail the soundscape, as avidly and softly as Christmas lights. As you trail through it, you pick up on complex themes like nostalgia, heartache, time, and emotional evolution. Best enjoyed sitting by a lake with a hanging moon over it.
Takar Nabam – Your Map
Takar Nabam is the perfect artist to listen to when you’re exploring the hills. Hailing from North East India, the artist was molded, shaped, and nurtured by its breathtaking landscapes. In his latest track, ‘Your Map’, he floats a soft folk breeze, contemplative and comforting into an indie rock frame. And with his warm baritones and gentle inflections, he crafts the essence of intimacy, of knowing them so well that you know their “map”. It’s so cozy, with its ambience dispersing into the air around you, elating the mood and the mind. There’s a little bit of FKJ influences, a smooth funk jazz atmosphere within the expanding folk.
