Hello from Berlin! I love freedom, travelling, long train rides, Stefan Zweig books, cats, colours, writing postcards, music, and movies à la Woody Allen and Wes Anderson. What makes me really happy is the seaside, sunrises and sunsets and having lots of time!

The time of the pandemic has given the German band deathsportband a lot of time to think and, like all of us, teaching them to see things from a different perspective. And despite the tough topic around climate change and its dangers, the debut track “Under a White Sky” sounds surprisingly light and refreshing, with a classic indie atmosphere sugared with a nostalgic note.

Rather, it seems to be like her greatest love, that lets her look back and reappraise experiences, even painful ones.

Getting ‘Free’ with Jaime’s new release

With his latest single ‘Free’, an unique alternative trap track he collaborated with rapper franniethefirst. The lyrics are inspired by the discussion of how hard it is to be real. “To not hide behind wrong self-expression and fake self-confidence.” We all know that sort of feeling, don’t we? “I wanna be, finally free.” raises the voice the listener out of his maybe self-created prison and reminds us that we shouldn’t live anybody elses life and try to be the best version of ourselves in order to be free.

Indie pop band All The Rest releases upbeat song ‘Gentleman’

“Flash forward to 2021, all in a much better place, but still asking ourselves “Are we really done? Is that all we have to say?”. For some of us, sadly, its true, but All The Rest still has music to write and a story to tell. “We’ve always poured our hearts into our music and we believe this new song is nothing short of that.”

Nicolas Michaux’s new single “Amusement Park” is an ode to beauty and love

“Through the juxtaposition of happy and painful images, I have tried to express the fragility of beauty and love in the face of the long work of demolition that is underway.” The talented Belgian songwriter and producer constantly deals with the sentimentality of everyday life in his songs. And despite the often melancholic tones, the music never seems heavy and oppressive, but rather inspires like sweet poetry.

Two Year Vacation’s “Majored In Broken Hearts” takes you on a bittersweet feel-good journey

The five-piece band Two Year Vacation describes itself as a “Swedish band making delicious pop music” and this description could not be summed up better. Coming from a country where you get less hours of sun compared to more Southern countries and therefore probably quite some melancholical moments are bound to occur. Packed in light-footed, airy sound, while the somehow rough vocals drives the songs catchy they definitely serve up a feel good slice of indie pop.

“I always love it when musicians play with genres and their voices.” A talk with Nalan

Nalan means something like “tear of emotion”. And indeed, the music of the singer and songwriter with Turkish roots has something incredibly gentle, sometimes melancholical deep. She already changed her artist name a few times, and is also known for projects such as slimgirl fat and part of the group Gaddafi Gals, but now will finally release her own debut album –  “I’m Good. The Crying Tape” – at the end of this year.

River’s ‘Inappropriate’ is an alluring ode to renewal

An ending is not the end. It’s just the beginning of something else. Often just a smooth transition, sometimes a painful quick cut. That’s basically what the debut song of the Hamburg based, California-bred duo River is about. “It’s about not letting yourself get dragged down only because life doesn’t play by your rules.”

The question of happiness

Maybe to write about happiness is so stock already, that no one will read those lines. But maybe this is the perfect time now to write about something hopeful, something to calm down in the turbulent times we live in. Perhaps now more than ever, at least in the lifetime that I experienced, we are looking for this little sanctuary, a bubble to feel safe, where we wake up with a hearty smile on our lips.
