FRAN LUSTY’s “Seasalt” Paints a Poignant Ode of Melodic Metaphors
In an enchanting fusion of introspective folk melodies and poignant tales of longing and belonging, FRAN LUSTY’s latest single, “Seasalt,” invites listeners on a soul-stirring journey through the tangled emotions of hope and displacement. This captivating folk gem, the fourth track from her EP, is more than just music; it’s an emotional canvas upon which LUSTY masterfully paints the struggle between urban confinement and wild yearning with each delicate note.
Drawing inspiration from a heartrending David Attenborough narrative, “Seasalt” immerses us in the plight of newly hatched sea turtles, tragically drawn towards the city’s glimmering lights instead of the moonlit sea. LUSTY metaphorically weaves this poignant tale into our human experience, capturing the sensation of being trapped in a concrete jungle while the call of the untamed echoes within. The song is a sonic masterpiece that resonates with waves crashing like the ebb and flow of tides and children’s laughter on the shore, cleverly juxtaposing these sounds with the suffocating cityscape.
FRAN LUSTY, hailing from Cambridge with Norwegian roots, infuses her indie-folk compositions with an ethereal and transformative dreamlike quality. Her musical journey began with “Ladybird” in 2021, a single that unexpectedly found its wings on BBC Introducing and propelled her into the spotlight. “Seasalt” is a testament to her growth as an artist, showcasing her ability to create emotionally charged narratives that transcend the bounds of music.
Having migrated to London to immerse herself in the indie-folk scene, LUSTY navigates the city’s intimate venues, delivering weekly performances that have left an indelible mark on London’s musical tapestry. Her performances at renowned locales like The Water Rats, Folklore Hoxton, and Blues Kitchen are a testament to her unwavering dedication and deep connection to her craft and the audience.
In “Seasalt,” FRAN LUSTY’s mellifluous vocals and evocative lyrics intertwine with the rich tapestry of folk influences. Her songwriting prowess allows listeners to journey through emotions, grappling with the tension between urban reality and the call of the wild. This single is a testament to the power of music to evoke deep feelings that linger, a resonant echo of the human soul’s eternal quest beyond mere words. As we eagerly await the full EP release, “Seasalt” stands as an enchanting harbinger of the musical depth and narrative complexity that FRAN LUSTY will bring to our ears. A perfect addition to the genre’s playlist!

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.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
