<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before we dive in, we’re excited to introduce Sofar Voices, where we spotlight different members of the Sofar community — or the Sofam, as we like to call it. In each edition, you’ll get to know fans, artists, crew, curators… you name it. If they’re involved in creating the Sofar magic, they’ve got a story to tell, and we’re here to share it. Enjoy! </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cassianne’s journey with Sofar started behind the scenes in London, where she first joined as a crew member and quickly became a fan of both the talent onstage and the team making the magic happen. Eventually, she stepped into the spotlight herself, bringing her fearless, genre-bending sound and undeniable presence to Sofar audiences across the city. Whether she’s MC’ing a show or performing a track off her upcoming album, Cassianne brings a sense of joy, power, and truth that’s impossible to ignore. From a birthday performance at one of Europe’s biggest festivals to an unforgettable wine-glass-drop moment during a Sofar show, Cassianne’s story is all about embracing the unexpected and showing up as your truest self.</span></i></p>

<p><b>Tell us about your connection to Sofar!</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was a crew member first, and I became a huge fan just by witnessing the talent and the dedication of the crew behind producing and organizing every show to perfection. I became a fan of both the crew and the artists alike. It’s not an easy task to curate events that people want to keep coming back to time and time again. Seeing how the audience leaves feeling elated every time I MC and knowing they feel like a part of the event brings me so much joy. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I then started performing with Sofar, and being able to connect authentically with a crowd of people is such a beautiful experience. Sofar allows artists to be their authentic selves, and that is all an artist could ask for.</span></p>
<p><b>Love how your path with Sofar has unfolded—being part of the team and now inspiring from the stage. Describe your sound in one sentence.</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">My music is eclectic, a fearless fusion of raw lyricism, hypnotic rhythms, and genre-bending soundscapes that challenge norms, ignite emotions, and celebrate authenticity; my music creates rebels.</span></p>
<p><b>That’s incredible! Since you’ve lived in a few different places, what’s something that truly surprised you when you moved to London?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The biggest culture shock was how expensive it is. I knew because people told me, but I didn’t know—lol. Another shock was how vast London is. It’s massive! I love exploring, going on little walks, and discovering hidden gems—secret streets, hideaways, or a mom-and-pop restaurant nestled in a corner. It’s a magical place. Living here feels like being in my little show, like The Good Place or The Truman Show—only it’s the matrix, and I’m fully aware I’m in it but enjoying it nonetheless—haha.</span></p>

<p><b>Love that you’ve turned the city into your adventure. What advice would you give someone who’s trying to rebuild their life and career in a brand new place?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Just do the damn thing because you’ll never know unless you take a Leap of Faith—title of a track off my next album, lol. But also, make sure you have some savings first because, unfortunately, we live in a world where cash rules everything around us—yeah, dollar dollar bills, y’all.</span></p>
<p><b>The music world gets labeled as competitive a lot—what’s been one of your biggest challenges as an artist?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Gatekeepers! I don’t think the industry is competitive at all. I think the music industry tricks us into believing it is by letting in only a few and making it seem inaccessible. Then they dangle record deals and celebrities in our faces, giving us something to aspire to. But true lovers of music know that everyone is different and unique in their way. Even if artists are inspired by others, we each have our own beautiful interpretations of what music sounds like, feels like, and how it’s expressed, uniquely to us.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This renders the idea of competition null and void because true competition only exists when people are doing the same thing, like in sports, where the goal is to win by running a race or playing a game to reach the same target. But music, art, and creativity? They are all vastly different depending on the individual, and the only goal there is, is the one we set for ourselves to grow and evolve into better versions of us through our art. Or at least I hope so. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yet, because the music industry is driven by money, it tricks artists into thinking they compete with one another, fighting for a nonexistent “top.” Not me, though. I just want to create. I’ve always wanted to create. And I do create music that touches lives, liberates people, and allows them to be free in who they are. Music that lasts lifetimes and breaks through generations. </span></p>
<p><b>This is such a powerful perspective. Love the way you framed music as a space of freedom and evolution. Has there been a moment in your journey where you thought, “This is why I do this”?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Yes! When I performed at my first big festival in Lärz, Germany, with my band, it was at Fusion Festival—one of the most incredible places I’ve ever experienced. It was pure magic.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I was booked to perform twice on my birthday. I opened the day at 2 a.m. with a crowd of over 700 people who were going wild with me, and then I closed the day at 11 p.m. with just about the same number of people. Everyone was free, being themselves, allowing themselves to be fully immersed in the music. It was magical.</span></p>

<p><b>Funniest or weirdest thing that’s happened at a Sofar show you worked or played?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The funniest moment was at my Sofar </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">High Key</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> show at Buffini Chao Deck. I called an audience member, who was talking while I was performing, up on stage with me. I started singing to him, and the moment I locked eyes with him, his wine glass slipped right out of his hand and shattered… all while I was in the middle of singing a new track called </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Delulu</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">—lol</span></p>
<p><b>Iconic! And finally, if you had to describe Sofar in three words, what would they be?</b></p>
<p><b> </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fun, Encouraging, Freeing </span></p>
<p><b>Thank you, Cassianne, for sharing your story, your truth, and your joy with us. Your energy is magnetic, and we’re so grateful to have you as part of the Sofar fam. Excited to see where your journey takes you next! </b></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>April is here, and your Sofar Artist News is bringing the goods. We’ll start with a look back at Teddy Swims, the Sofar alum whose covers could stop traffic and whose originals are now Grammy-nominated. And because we love good news, we’ve got festival-ready lineups, new albums, and fresh tour dates coming your way. Ready to dive in?</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">1. Teddy Swims has mastered the art of turning covers into gold and originals into straight-up anthems. Since<a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7nacKlk586eLRBSIsrk9DB?si=mJ0eKXbYQzqXUTkLsRnqmg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> <i>I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy</i></a> dropped in 2023, he’s landed a Grammy nomination and owned the airwaves with <i>Lose Control</i>. Now, he’s keeping the momentum going with <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6kvSdLjli85tMwW4jlCN0o?si=45rgJ-U4Tz-VEOMjTpOkLA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>I’ve Tried Everything But Therapy</i> (<i>Part 2)</i></a>, which includes new tracks like <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/68TlifACKo87EevLEQd1HV?si=cf987d7a4ef7401b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“She Got It” </a>with GloRilla and Coco Jones and <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4WJ6n3hm5R5vOuDno4UqZv?si=9cee11e2a47e4076" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Your Kind of Crazy.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh, and he’s currently tearing it up on his </span><a href="https://www.teddyswims.com/#tour" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">North American tour</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, proving his live show is just as powerful as his records. But before all that, he took the </span><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_iqDEQOavA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sofar London</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> stage with Victor Ray and delivered an unreal cover of John Legend’s “Ordinary People.” Here are two of his most iconic covers—the ones that made us go, </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Wait, how is this better than the original?</span></i></p>
<p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/4guQztGKAETkvuTekNeqBe?si=60f3f5f11cca4108" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">{Shania Twain Cover}</span></a></p>
<p><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/66aMnwdhkEc1V0AAnyYchX?si=6b11a90afb1a4275" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">{The Weeknd Cover}</span></a></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Teddy Swims & Victor Ray - Ordinary People | Sofar London" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a_iqDEQOavA?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>2. Midnight Generation is adding a little *spark* to the queue with <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6pEgvyMJnxFZHPhYJVHCFX?si=s512w5EZSEq8DKNuMAXONQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em data-start="49" data-end="62">Tender Love</em></a>, a synthy, disco-drenched album that feels like it was made for 2 AM kitchen dances. Their sound? Funk meets INXS- and if you haven’t heard <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/534EGeaDXZRKWociMKGZ8B?si=2acf886e5e0f42e4" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em data-start="259" data-end="274">Summer Nights</em></a> yet—warning: it might make you rewatch another John Huges film. Keep an eye out, they’re lighting up some of our favorite <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DHoWpa8Rbef/?img_index=1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Festival stages</a> this year!</p>
<p>3. <span style="font-size: 20px;">Mad Keys has shared his talent with us on yet <i>another</i> new album! The collaborative project with artist Heno., <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/7kwEceYg2N03szp9ruQ8Pm?si=F4uDhzIQQhK-zvD8_fkoUQ" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i>Healing Out Loud</i></a>, has proven to be the right move. Blending hip-hop, jazz, and soul, the project explores <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/312iMxhnCKl3gYuZ0bbDtg?si=1500d531341348df" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Growing Pains,” </a>and the challenge of when things are<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/31CsiSQZDqcX0j37SRtu5U?si=edb4542e06cd4cbf" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> “Easier Said Than Done.”</a> Fresh off collaborations with brands like Adobe and Jordan, he’s now taking his sound global with <a href="https://www.itsmadkeys.com/shows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">EU tour dates live and tickets on sale.</a> For Mad Keys, DC may be home, but right now, he’s got a world to play for!</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Heno. & Mad Keys - "Get Me There" In-Studio Performance" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_xFpw1Zqfbk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>4. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Diana Ezerex isn’t just making music—she’s making statements. Her latest EP, </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/5Bd6DSzH1TADVjytT1iiDC?si=sOaJ9DzvRD-Z2xHpvGXzEA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Identity (Ambivalence)</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> delivers four power-packed tracks that dive into belonging, acceptance, and the fight against injustice, all wrapped in her signature pop-soft rock sound. With every release, she’s proving she has a lot to say—and we’re here for it. She’s</span><a href="https://dianaezerex.com/shows/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;"> currently on tour</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and with all these singles and EPs dropping, we can’t help but wonder: Is another full album on the horizon? Here’s to hoping!</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Diana Ezerex - Not The Same (live @ IDENTITY Show)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NGJfeA_KBdo?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>5. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Estonia’s own The Boondocks are back with their new album </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/1AWW8bwtBSMiLRUCxJqiXg?si=f8Rc8dP0TbmAi-8EcP83sA" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Silver Bu<span style="text-decoration: underline;">zz</span></span></i></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">, and it’s everything you’d expect from this hard-hitting, guitar-driven four-piece. Their sound, a blend of British post-punk, pop melodies, and early R&B influences, creates a gritty yet polished rock vibe that’s tough to ignore. To celebrate the release, they’re throwing an </span><a href="https://fienta.com/et/the-boondocks-silver-buzz-albumiesitluskontsert-127042" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">album listening party on April 18th in Estonia</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">—so consider flights booked! With a track record that includes awards like Best New Artist and Rock Album of the Year, bragging rights for ‘seeing them first’ is just a bonus.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="The Boondocks - As Good as It Gets (Official Music Video)" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2LZF-4u_k6g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Catch these artists and more just like them at </span><a href="https://www.sofarsounds.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">a Sofar near you!</span></a></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Dana, a longtime Sofar favorite with over 40 performances under her belt, captivated the audience with her powerhouse vocals and smooth R&B grooves. Anderson, reflecting on his past Sofar experience, shared how he had initially been hesitant to perform in an intimate living room setting but was quickly won over. His stripped-down solo set at SXSW was nothing short of mesmerizing—his voice commanding the kind of rapt attention rarely seen at a festival known for its bustling energy.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There’s always something fresh brewing in the Sofar universe. March is serving up soul in all forms: sultry slow jams, foot-stomping bangers, and everything in between. Some familiar names are making big moves, and some new faces are about to earn a permanent spot in your rotation. Let’s get into it!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">1. UK Indie darlings Little Comets are back at it, casually dropping not one but </span><i>two</i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> back-to-back singles. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Indie-pop-rock fans with an appreciation for nostalgia will soon discover that Little Comets’ </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/57Dd9obABfxRswQhpwihbd?si=QPaZIAiJQNG8B7pehK8XKw" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“KING PRAWN” </a><span style="font-weight: 400;">hits all the right notes, high-energy included. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">Teleport to a music festival dance party with the groovy drop,”</span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/0huegoNhnw66aO417YIGX0?si=bd64f16d88924345" target="_blank" rel="noopener">HIJKL</a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” (Have I Just Killed Love), and until we manifest our festival dance party…</span><a href="https://www.littlecomets.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">catch Little Comets on their Spring UK tour!</a></span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Little Comets - The Blur, The Line and The Thickest of Onions | Sofar Philadelphia" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uQuUjkZcp5I?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">2. A fresh single <i>and</i> a live Abba cover drop? Genre-bending-Jazz artist Amahla just did that. Her latest drop, “<a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6BI4eYMebY367OGqGlZf56?si=63731a1db2c34256" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Reason”, </a>gives space to her powerful vocals, yet is smooth enough for Sunday morning listening. <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/183Ldb6l3OvxWq1aEHALVP?si=21b3a80e204248ab" target="_blank" rel="noopener">‘“Money”, on the other hand,</a> is a velvety, classic Jazz masterpiece—best heard in dim lighting. (Fingers crossed that this means more to come…?)</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Reason (Part 2/5) Ooooh Honey!

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">3. Nolan Lundsford just dropped his debut EP—and this is great news if you’ve been playing the </span><a href="https://www.sofarsounds.com/blog/articles/sofar-artist-news-february-2025" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">new Charly Crockett album</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on repeat. Echoing the ethos of country music with tender story-telling tracks like “</span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/6eqU0vGkmilJfsEN53e8EJ?si=14850cd8eb4a4ac7" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">There We Were,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” and “</span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/40wDjV7PsyusTbaTcKlsv8?si=3f6632b325e84097" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Rest of My Life,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">” Nolan pulls on steel </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">and </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">heartstrings. Don’t think it’s all ballads; </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">after the (January 2025) release of his single, </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/0b23rK7zwXFN3t3H2PGWuH?si=on_SI3wkSs2bYu7O3mEXEg" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Suzuki XL7”,</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> we knew Nolan was one to watch. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 4.

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Before we dive in, we’re excited to introduce Sofar Voices, where we spotlight different members of the Sofar community — or the Sofam, as we like to call it. In each edition, you’ll get to know fans, artists, crew, curators… you name it. If they’re involved in creating the Sofar magic, they’ve got a story to tell, and we’re here to share it. Enjoy! </span></i></p>
<p><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">For Josh Savage, Sofar is more than just a stage—it’s been a launchpad, a home, and a global family. From playing his first Sofar show in Oxford in 2013 to curating Sofar shows in Winchester, Southampton, and Berlin, Josh has dedicated himself to creating spaces where artists can truly be heard. He’s traveled the world with Sofar, performing in over 100 shows across 44 cities, and has seen firsthand how music has the power to turn strangers into family. Whether it’s bringing live music back to Berlin post-pandemic or preparing for an upcoming Sofar show in a Berlin sex club (yes, really), Josh’s journey proves that when artists are given the space to grow, anything is possible</span></i></p>

<p><b>Tell us about your connection to Sofar!</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’m a Sofar curator, artist, and fan. I played my first Sofar in 2013 in Oxford, and it was the first time I ever truly felt heard as an artist. That night changed everything. Sofar gave me a platform to grow, taking me from playing in living rooms to touring with Snow Patrol and opening for Robbie Williams in front of 100,000 people. Wanting to give other artists that same opportunity, I founded Sofar Winchester and Southampton to help our local music scenes thrive. Artists today could use all the help they can get, and Sofar has always been a space where they can be seen, heard, and supported. When I moved to Germany and Sofar Berlin shut down during the pandemic, I relaunched it to keep that mission alive.</span></p>
<p><b>That is incredible. What makes Sofar special to you?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sofar is a safe space where people come together and experience music as it’s meant to be heard without distractions, without barriers. We’re living through a loneliness epidemic, and even music fans and artists are more disconnected than ever—most people don’t even know the names of their favourite artists in today’s playlist culture. Sofar fixes that.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On top of that, small venues are disappearing—only 40% remain compared to the ‘90s—and artists today have fewer places to grow. Sofar is essential because it gives emerging artists a stage without the pressure of selling tickets or marketing a show. All we have to do is show up and play, and that’s incredibly rare.</span></p>
<p><b>Definitely. You’ve travelled with Sofar around the world — how many shows has it been, in how many cities?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">101 Sofar shows across 44 cities in 15 countries. From living rooms in Europe to rooftops in Latin America, breweries in North America, and hidden cafés in Asia, every show is different, but the magic is always the same.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Josh Savage - Found in Mexico | Sofar Rotterdam" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OqP1FHJUcQ8?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><b>Wow! And what would you say is the most surprising thing you’ve learned about global music culture?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">No matter where you are in the world, music has the power to turn strangers into family. I’ve felt that again and again—like when I went to Russia alone, feeling completely isolated, and after my Sofar show, I suddenly had a room full of friends. The same thing has happened in places where I didn’t speak the language, yet music bridged the gap. That connection is universal.</span></p>
<p><b>What’s the craziest thing, or most “Berlin” thing that’s ever happened at one of your Sofar shows?</b></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">We’re about to host a Sofar show in a Berlin sex club—so that might top the list! But another unforgettable moment was when we had an outdoor show, and during the second act, a sudden downpour hit. My whole team scrambled to rescue the sound gear, artists’ equipment—chaos. A huge storm rolled in, the power cut out, and we had to improvise. The last act played an unplugged set by the glow of our battery-powered lights, with everyone huddled together in a small space. It was unplanned, raw, and somehow made the night even more magical.</span></p>

<p><b>If you could curate a Sofar show with any three artists, living or dead, who would you pick?</b></p>
<p><b>Chris Martin</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – Coldplay shaped my love for music, and seeing him in an intimate Sofar setting would be unreal.</span></p>
<p><b>Metallica </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">(acoustic set) – Seeing a metal band strip things back is always insane, and Metallica would absolutely kill it unplugged.</span></p>
<p><b>Reeps One</b><span style="font-weight: 400;"> – He’s a Sofar OG, and what he does with his voice as a beatboxer is superhuman. Imagine that lineup—it would be legendary.</span></p>
<p><b>Thank you so much for sharing your story with us, Josh! We’re honored to be part of your journey and hope to continue creating beautiful memories together. <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/15.0.3/72x72/1f49b.png" alt="💛" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></b></p>

Has the FOMO hit yet?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 20px;">2. Speaking of Sofar alumni, Charley Crockett released his single <a href="https://open.spotify.com/album/6zZyCNRv5LRBpM5Cqc2pFB?si=_kp--QxcQYSXfTSnNKef2g" target="_blank" rel="noopener">“Lonesome Drifter.”</a> The track shares the title of his <a href="https://open.spotify.com/prerelease/5M8LoKuSyuyDkW7lq80AkX?si=c252d0910f2e409f" target="_blank" rel="noopener">upcoming album, set to release in March</a>, giving us a preview of an unadulterated outlaw country record.

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">4. Keeping it personal, </span><a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/5GWHnx27Z6vu4NYDZPCgQ1?si=c3361e0d20f24c12" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Everything Moves”</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> was released by the epic ensemble of Ed Proskek, featuring Driftwood Choir and Portair. The classically trained Berlin native noted, “This song is the embodiment of what it feels like to let go and is something very dear to us.” This cosmic track is an immediate yes for those late-night vibes.</span></p>
<p><iframe loading="lazy" title="Everything Moves" width="500" height="375" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kJSKkJMU5HI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">5.

Across three tracks, she blends delicate harmonies with the poetic lyricism of influences like Joni Mitchell and Carole King. And just like Carole, her piano work shines through.
