Frank Joshua - Turn To Your Soul - Reimagined
It takes a certain kind of maddening genius to take an already great song and reimagine as quite another brilliant piece of music. That's exactly what enigmatic musician & producer Frank Joshua does in this delightfully melodic, theatrical remake of a previously released track, 'Turn to your soul'. Where the original was moody and a bit sombre, this reimagination is a fantastically upbeat, theatrical soundscape with soul, panache & personality in droves. Yet, the emotional core of heartbreak and reflection is still preserved; it's pitched considerably higher and flows at a more elevated, confident tempo. Frank's strong, passionate voice is very much the focal point of the opus. Built upon a soft piano melody, Frank leads us into a deeply emotional opening verse at a touching slow-dance tempo. Gradually, the track elevates to a higher pitch and expands into a more expansive sound. With each verse, retro adornments like subtle organ and horns are added in, along with the backing vocals. Past the 3:20 min mark, the track takes on a completely different soul spirit. Frank launches into engaging, delightful vocal exchanges. It's a particularly captivating section and feels completely earnest, spontaneous, and entertaining. It speaks volumes to Frank's versatility and confidence as a musician, conductor, and showman. He leads the line with a fantastic grace and charisma, you can easily imagine this track being the score for a high spirited drama music documentary such as 'Summer of Soul', a cultural time capsule packed with soul legends like Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone. 'Turn To Your Love - Reimagined' will live on as an eclectic piece of jazz, blues-infused music, that was brought back to life in fantastic manner by a remakably talented artist, Frank Joshua.

Mark Anthony Bartolo - Up Brown
The latest single by Mark Anthony Bartolo, “Up Brown” unfolds like a warm gust of folk-rock air drifting through an alternative pop landscape. From its first seconds, the track sets a mellow melancholy touched vibe, using brushed percussion, lightly distorted guitars, and Bartolo’s unmistakable vocal timbre to create a sonic world that feels both reflective and quietly triumphant. The song moves with a steady pulse, but it never rushes; instead, it invites listeners to sit inside each texture as it blooms. One of the standout qualities of “Up Brown” is its vivid dynamic range. Bartolo lets the verses breathe with minimal ornamentation, then lifts the choruses into bright swells of harmony and jangling folk-rock color. This careful play between intimacy and release gives the track an emotional arc that mirrors the push and pull of memory. A recurring feeling that makes the song so instantly relatable. The production supports that arc with intention. Acoustic and electric elements weave through a carefully crafted stereo field, giving the impression that the sound is gently encircling the listener rather than simply playing at them. “Up Brown” would slide naturally into modern drama-driven stories; it feels perfectly suited to scenes in indie films like “All Dirt Roads Taste of Salt” or slow-burn TV dramas such as “Tiny Beautiful Things.” Its quiet ache and warm layering echo the emotional sensitivity that the indie music scene often celebrates; authenticity over perfection, mood over spectacle. As the final chorus settles, the track subtly reflects Bartolo’s long, diverse journey as a musician. A journey that began with his appearance on the first season of Malta’s X Factor in 2018 and continued through the Malta Eurovision Song Contest 2022 with his original entry “Serenity.” “Up Brown” shows a seasoned artist leaning confidently into his craft, merging experience with experimentation in all the right ways.
Exzenya - Till I'm Drunk and Consused
Exzenya has broken the norm with her imagination of music, her latest release, Till I’m Drunk and Confused, is a wonderful cog in the system. In the age of algorithms and trying to be popular, she chooses to be unapologetically herself. Her music is a blend of pop and R&B, soul and techno. In a world that asks for confirmation, she refuses to bow down to the system. Instead, she has created a vibrant world of her own. This avant-garde artist is setting a trend for new-age artists. Her music embodies the essence of life's chaos. Yet there is a method to her madness and a melody to the mayhem. The strings act as the spine while she paints a world that whirls around in heartbreak. Her vocals are raw and yearning for this love. While her music reflects this chaotic world where all sorts of news and aesthetics bombard you, it forces you to set the world aside and just listen. It refuses to bend in a society that demands that you break. We see a performance art to her music very similar to the kind of performance that Yorgos Lanthimos engages with in Attenberg. There is this fluidity along with these broken staccato movements in the films that resembles both the emotions in the film and the song. There is a liberation and catharsis in her music, to embrace the madness of the rebellion. Exzenya is laying the groundwork for a unique aesthetic that is unmatched, unreplicable, and unheard of.

Erro - Shadowland
Here’s a thought: Some albums settle into you like a deep but low, steady breath. When you listen to it for the first time, it is like some pieces fall back into their original places. It’s similar to finding a companion of sorts, a contemplative companion that turns your private grief, displacement, and introspection into something sacred within you. Listening to Shadowland by Erro feels just like that. The album is an alternative and ambient-leaning indie record that builds its world through layered synths, twilight-soft vocals, and a persistent sense of wandering. Each track of the album works more like a vignette than a pop structure. It pulls the listeners towards a reflective, almost cinematic storytelling tradition. The first song on the record is called Shadowland. This opener sets the tone: drums, drifting synth textures, and a narrative about moving through emotional dimness. It feels like someone describing the moment they realise they’ve been living in survival mode. Lines about learning to see in the dark shape the whole album’s thesis: pain, but lucid. The next song in line is Honey Bear Lane. This track is all about emotional stagnation and features guitar loops and steady beats. It leans toward indie-folk. The imagery that the song tries to show is that of movement. The song captures a paralysing ecstatic feeling many listeners know too well. This is followed by The Watcher. Here, the production sobers up a bit. The lyrics talk about the distance between a person’s image and the conflict with the same. The idea of your heart not being into something works as a personal critique. It’s one of the strongest narrative cuts. The songs that follow, JMS, Walls, and Dragonfly are perhaps the album’s emotional core. Now, the vocals push forward, almost trembling. The pieces deal with loss, absence, and self-doubt without melodrama. There is some sort of reflection involved. A blend of soft electronic elements with folk phrasing. Walls talks about identities we shed as we grow, and the people who no longer fit the world we live in. Its simplicity is purposeful, and that makes it resonate more deeply. The next song the record features is Words About Life. The track is a metaphor-rich piece about fragility. It sounds very soft. In this piece, light and body imagery mix together, giving the song a sort of poetic density. It leans into social awareness: how people carry invisible burdens and still glow through them. The album ends with Over Me. This last piece is about some sort of acceptance. It is spacious and warm despite the theme. It asks what it means to leave a darker chapter without rushing toward the light. It ends the album with a kind of gentle surrender. The album is a good fit for a movie like A Ghost Story (2017).
