Drawing inspiration from her eclectic musical journey, Jo Beth Young, formerly known as Talitha Rise, intricately threads together Folk and Pop influences, channeling her inner storytelling prowess into “Wolf Song.” The track’s genesis is rooted in a poignant moment when Young penned it on a broken guitar at a friend’s house, a testament to the organic origins that often underpin the most enchanting melodies.
“Wolf Song” introduces listeners to a mysterious character, a curious wolf laden with layers of complexity. Through her ethereal voice, Young spins a tale of caution and empathy, delving into the psyche of this enigmatic figure.

The song’s sonic landscape, nurtured by the collaboration with Peter Yates, unfurls as a woodland panorama, where the delicate interplay between guitar and electronic elements paints a surreal backdrop.
This track, among the album’s eldest, evolved under the guidance of the talented Matt Blackie, who added a contemporary heartbeat to its ethereal soul. The fusion of acoustic origins with newfound electronic beats is a testament to Young’s artistic evolution. Jules Bangs’ bass playing further enriches the composition, while harps and dreamlike instrumentation infuse a sense of modern enchantment, rendering “Wolf Song” a musical canvas for the 21st-century fairy tale.
“Wolf Song” beckons us to traverse the corridors of a narcissist’s psyche, portraying both the danger and vulnerability encapsulated within. Jo Beth Young’s lyrical craftsmanship evokes empathy even for the most enigmatic characters, as she encapsulates the essence of their yearning and solitude.
As Young readies her third album, this tantalizing single serves as an enticing prelude to her forthcoming musical opus. “Wolf Song” captures the essence of her journey, narrating stories of the heart with a blend of folkloric elegance and contemporary resonance. Jo Beth Young casts an enchantment that lingers with each note, a testament to her prowess as a modern-day musical sorceress.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.
