Tom Collins evokes a heart-wrenching anthem for our generation on edge with “Halfway Boys”
From North Wales, Tom Collins sheds light on the deep-seated consequences of societal neglect and the harsh realities faced by today’s forgotten youth on the fringes of society in his latest single, “Halfway Boys.” This track hits with the weight of a world where social issues too often get swept under the rug, shadowing the poverty, addiction, and neglect that are inherited like a curse. It’s a song that isn’t just meant to be played but felt.
But this is no mere imitation; “Halfway Boys” marries Collins’ trademark heart-on-sleeve lyricism with a sound reminiscent of the anthemic qualities of artists like Sam Fender and Jamie Webster. Produced in Liverpool by Alex Quinn, known for his work with rising indie acts like The Royston Club and SPINN, the crisp production perfectly complements Collins’ stark charm. The haunting energy in the melody and the escalating sense of urgency that builds throughout the track underscores the bleakness of the lyrics.
Collins’ vocal delivery is as much an instrument of emotion as a vehicle for words that cuts through with a unique balance of vulnerability and gritty realism that feels both timely and timeless from the moment the first chord strikes. His evocative delivery of the desperate closing line, “They haven’t got much choice,” carries a depth that lingers in the air long after the song ends, a poignant reminder of the cyclical nature of these social ills.
Continuing in the vein of his prior work, “Halfway Boys” emerges as Tom Collins’ most impactful release to date. It stands as a thought-provoking composition that underscores his artistic evolution and highlights his dedication to amplifying the voice of the voiceless and marginalized. If a song certainly merits attention right now, it’s this one. Tom Collins isn’t just simply creating music; he’s hopefully making a statement that embodies the possibility of transformation change.

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.
