White Glove by NOANNE | Indie Features
About: Emerging from Prague, talented and melodious artist NOANNE paints vivid landscapes of raw emotions and unconventional perspectives.
Weaving an intriguing tapestry of sound that draws listeners into her realm of introspection and self-discovery.
Through immersive artistic mediums, she reveals her true essence; she leaves no corner of her soul unexplored.
White Glove: Following Goodwill, her debut single, NOANNE, released her hauntingly beautiful White Glove earlier this year.
The stunning track weaves a narrative deeply infused with a sense of magic and fairy-tale-like wonder, fixated on the reality of a fading love.
The song tells the tale of a woman immersed in the echoes of a past relationship and finds herself clinging to the threads of a story that has lost its color.
What NOANNE says: "The removal of the white glove is her desperate, almost theatrical attempt to challenge the norms, to provoke a reaction from her beloved, as if beckoning him to a duel, not of swords but of emotions and memories."
Feedback: Listening to White Glove is about the same as listening to a mix of Adele and Aretha Franklin.
The soothing vocals are the pinnacle of the song that is so well composed, and the instruments shed light on the beautiful downfall of a relationship.
The two mixtures of reality and fantasy are blended so well lyrically, with the chorus being an essential part of the story.
This is a well-produced song that successful artists like Adele would highly appreciate.
If you enjoyed listening to this masterpiece, please feel free to like and follow NOANNE on all streaming and social media platforms. It was a pleasure to review this piece, and I look forward to more.
The Nile by Fie Eike | Indie Features
About: Composer, songwriter, and producer born and raised in Denmark to Norwegian parents, Fie Eike, makes atmospheric songs and compositions often inspired by experiences from her childhood memories of nature.
Her compositions are laced with a deep emotional imprint and infused with Nordic sophistication and mystery.
Visual expression, such as photographs and other artwork, is an integral part and extension of her writing and composition process.
The Nile: Written, performed, produced, and mixed entirely by herself, her debut single, The Nile, allowed her complete creative control and delivered an authentic and honest release.
Inspired by nature, the debut single encapsulates the feeling of entering a dark forest or plunging into cold, dark waters where you cannot see what lies beneath the surface.
The theme of The Nile exists in a juxtaposed, unafraid soundscape; the song moves elegantly between art-pop, neo-classical, and electronica.
What Fie says: "I feel like we live in a time where we have, in many ways, developed a kind of allergy towards darkness and fear as something we should avoid. But trying to deny the existence of darkness and fear only allows it to grow over time, and eventually it gains more power over our subconscious and our lives."
Feedback: Wow, what a track! It is full of powerful elements and breathtaking beauty, like nature.
Fie is genuinely talented, seeing that she made every piece of this track, and I honestly have nothing wrong to say about this debut masterpiece.
This single is a fantastic starting point for Fie, and the production is truly remarkable.
The hauntingness use of the vocals is breathtaking; this is one of my favorite singles I've ever featured.
If you enjoyed listening to this song, please follow and like Fie Eike on all streaming and social media platforms. I am looking forward to hearing more from Fie.
So Blue by Serena Ittoo | Indie Features

So Blue: Following her successful debut release, Nature Foreseen, Ittoo unveils her latest single, So Blue.
The song's conception encompasses the idea that less is more.
It stems from a conversation with a friend who reminded her that sometimes simplicity in songwriting can be the most powerful and profound message.
The single is a receptive and expressive conversational song that narrates the story of one person expressing their true feelings to another and opening up about their deepest fears of the unknown.
Feedback: This is an essential British track for 2024; Serena is one to watch in the music industry.
I love the vibe behind this bluesy song, and the guitar riffs sway the vocals perfectly with the smoothness of the track.
I love that Serena was going for simplicity, and I want to challenge her to continue doing that even more.
As I said, Serena Ittoo is one to watch in the music industry, so make sure you follow and like her on all streaming and social media platforms. I can't wait to hear more from Serena in the future.
I Don't Even Think About You Anymore by Lola Balter | Indie Features
About: Fearless and restless, creative 17-year-old Lola Balter augments her skills as a vocalist by exploring the guitar and keyboard and learning the drums.
She found inspiration in 90s alt-rock icons and modern pop-rock chart-toppers such as Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Smashing Pumpkins, Olivia Rodrigo, and many more.
Despite being a young teen, she is already a seasoned vet as a performer, performing at regional talent contests, various Canada Day Celebrations, So Far Sound gigs, and much more.
I Don't Think About You Anymore: Earlier this year, Lola came out with her newest single, I Don't Think About You Anymore, as if she was speaking to future her about the present.
She was in what felt like an impossible and inescapable situation when writing the song.
She wrote the song in hopes that she could look back and know that part of her was gone.
What Lola says: "I'm going for a feeling with my songs, I want people to experience a deep connection with my music."
Feedback: This song hit home initially, but the title was misleading. Lola reminds me of Olivia Rodrigo.
However, this song has a slower pace and more of a country feel than most of Olivia's tracks.
I love that Lola is so open about everything she writes; if anything, I want her to continue doing that.
This is a beautiful part of the music industry, where openness is not seen as a weakness.
I will be following Lola closely, and if you also liked this single, then make sure you follow and like her on all streaming and social media platforms. I truly appreciate you reading this, and I hope you have a wonderful day and weekend.
