Vilde – “Isle”
Vilde’s “Isle” feels like drifting through clouds tinted pink at sunset. The sound design is ethereal, layered, and delicately emotional. There’s a beautiful restraint in how the song evolves, allowing every note to linger just long enough. It’s a meditation on solitude, beauty, and space.
Zoe Konez – “Human”
“Human” captures the ache of imperfection and the beauty of being alive. Zoe Konez’s songwriting cuts close to the bone, simple yet deeply resonant. With her hushed vocals and understated guitar, she reminds us that vulnerability is the truest form of strength.
Suze Harper – “Not That Hard”
A debut worth every bit of its confidence. Suze Harper’s “Not That Hard” glides with jazzy sophistication and heartfelt warmth. The production feels lush, while her vocal delivery is calm and assured. It’s the kind of song that makes you want to pour a glass of wine and let the evening slow down.
