Heartbeat by Earthquake Lights | Indie Features
About: Earthquake Lights, a four-piece rock band from NYC is a testament to the power of perseverance.
The band's members met during college and saw their first EP soar to success on the airwaves.
Their talent has been recognized by Spotify playlists, NBA/Tissot ad campaigns, and other notable platforms.
They've even been featured on Vulfpeck's album, 'The Joy of Music, The Job of Real Estate '.

Inspired by the loss of a vulnerable family member, the song poignantly reminds us to cherish our loved ones despite life's adversities.
Digging into life's unpredictability and fear of loss, the band's introspective song takes inspiration from Japanese classical composers.
Lead singer Myles Rodenhouse says: "It's about that moment before the end - when you know it will end but do not know when exactly."
Feedback: This heartfelt song evokes deep emotions with its slow and poignant melody.
It is an impressive departure from the norm for a rock band, yet it captures the fragility of life in a meaningful and impactful way.
Its sympathetic gesture and the message it conveys are truly admirable.
I highly recommend that Marvin Gaye and Foals fans listen to this single.

Like You Boy by Natalie Shay | Indie Features

It was produced by Kaity Rae and mastered by Jonathan Vears.
The song is the perfect breakup song to cry to, narrating the demise of a relationship.
The single features layered harmonies that emit a celestial atmosphere and build up to a climatic chorus reflecting exactly how she felt when she wrote the lyrics.
Natalie says: “The song is about the moment after you get dumped or a relationship ends. When you’re curled up in bed accepting that the relationship has ended and learning to let go of that hope of potential. You start thinking things over and trying to figure out where it went wrong, in this case blaming myself, for always screwing things up. And also blaming yourself for opening up in the first place.”
Feedback: Equivalent to Amy Shark, this track sizzles with sadness and harmonies.
The sound production is crazy good, dominating with sounds great for a night under the stars next to a campfire.
The lyrics are powerful and honest, and every line stands out.
It's no surprise why this track is a crowd favorite at shows.

Sad by Fie Eike | Indie Features
About: Fie Eike is a Danish composer, producer, and singer-songwriter who draws inspiration from nature and life experiences.
She creates atmospheric songs and compositions infused with Nordic sophistication and mystery.
Her music accompanies visual expression, an integral part of her work. Fie Eike was born in Denmark to Norwegian parents and now lives and works in Copenhagen.
Sad: Her most recent single, "Sad," was released in early March.
The sophomore single from Eike's debut album will be released later this year.
The song expresses the sadness and emotional wounds humans cause each other, often unknowingly.
These wounds are caused when we fail to take responsibility for our challenging emotions, such as sadness or anger, and instead deny them and numb ourselves to others.
Feedback: This beautifully cinematic song makes you feel the sadness in Fie's voice; it's a classic masterpiece.
Production-wise, the classical simplicity emits the feeling of being underwater, like the album cover displays.
Lyrically, Fie's lyrics are dark, but they give us a glimpse into how it feels to experience the pain we cause each other.
I thoroughly enjoyed this song, and it almost brought me to tears. Please be kind to yourself and others.
