This Week’s Alt Folk List is About Incredible Emotional Spaces

By

Nikiré – Reflections Make You Develop 

Nikiré crafts such an incredible meeting space between the classical and the contemporary. Her latest release, ‘Reflections Make You Develop’ is a swimming landscape of melodies where each instrument swells into the other till you can’t tell them apart. The tone of the song is reflective, dreamy, edging towards an ethereal. It feels transcendental. The acoustics in the song are meant to keep you grounded and human. And on that she builds, in the background, the synths swirl and swing. At the forefront Nikirè’s vocals usher the listener towards thought, perspective, reflection. A heart opening of a grand magnitude that sets the pace for the holiday season. It is cinematic, sweeping and full of vital sensibilities. 

Noelle Rain – Running Dry 

Noelle Rain is a singer-songwriter from the romantic school of thought. Her music emerges with such loveliness and hope even in the midst of deep melancholy. In her latest release, ‘Running Dry’, the artist explores themes of losing yourself. Either in a burnout or an identity crisis. In heartache or grief. Tracing these difficult times and thoughts, the song is a journey to find herself again. A reflection that sets her on a path to themes like self care, self love and self confidence. It is a growing pain kind of song, built with soft and kindred acoustics. Vocal lines that comfort and soothe. And an atmosphere that puts in a place of hope and positivity. Listen Now! 

Mick J Clark – It’s Christmas Party Time 

Mick J Clark certainly knows how to create a cheerful space. Especially this festive season. Bringing intimate acoustic moments to a holiday frame, is his latest single, ‘It’s Christmas Party Time’. The song is made with feel good chords, rolling bells and a vocal line that brings it all to you. The lights, the joy, the colors, and the people. It’s Christmas in a song and Mick is here to get the party started for us all. We’re adding to our playlist, to start off the holiday season. It has an air of fun and excitement, making it such a fresh way to kick it off. So put the song on and start your day with a whole lot of good feelings.
