Music

Not everyone can carry a pop song on the back of an authentic vocal and an acoustic guitar.

Fire, catalyst, passion, responsibility; we don’t care what you call it.

This gorgeously-presented music video will give you a reason to say thank you for your own life, and might make you fall in love with the Icelandic landscape.

Solitude is not loneliness; we always have our own self - for comfort, and forgiveness.

A stateside Phoenix: you have the infectious melody, the synth primacy, and the pristine groove synergy.

With a diaphanous melody and a bouncy minimal groove, the message is clear: turning hurt into beauty is a vital life-skill.

The minimal aesthetic here works well with the delicately passionate vocal delivery, and it just leaves you wanting more.
