“Let’s Try Again” by Attom Darcy Blvd revives a soulful nostalgia
As the creative force behind the project Attom Darcy Blvd from Los Angeles, Mick (Matt Carmody) delivers a soulful tribute to the golden era of classic soul with R&B sensitivity that feels like a shimmering love letter with their debut single new, “Let’s Try Again,” offering a breath of fresh air. The seamless blend of electronic beats with the dynamic spirit of legends like Otis Redding and the timeless magic of Etta James creates a captivating mix of old-school charm with a warm embrace of contemporary flair, evoking a sense that is both nostalgic and refreshingly current.
The song begins with a warm, heart-tugging intro reminiscent of Stax Records’ iconic sound, instantly whisking listeners into a world where raw emotion meets exquisite craftsmanship. Mick’s soul-stirring performance and aching vocals are drenched in passion, conveying the weight of every lyric. It’s a song about giving love a second chance, representing a sense of rebirth and redemption with a palpable energy when everything feels broken. The infectious hook of heartache draped in brass sections, the chorus pleads, “Let’s try again; let’s make this right,” resonating long after the song fades out.
Joe Cruz’s (Carly Rae Jepsen) crisp production is stunningly clean yet rich in vintage harmonies, allowing every instrument to shine. The masterful touch to the mix by Josh Gudwin, known for his incredible work with Dua Lipa and Justin Bieber, strikes a perfect balance of retro influences with a polished yet intimate contemporary sheen. Recorded at the legendary NRG Studios in North Hollywood and mixed at Henson Studios, the song exudes a bit of a stardust magical aura, evoking echoes of the past legends who’ve graced these halls.
What truly sets this beautiful song apart is its heartfelt simplicity. With “Let’s Try Again,” Attom Darcy Blvd masterfully bridges the gap between eras, presenting soul music that makes the audience feel like the audience is sitting in a dimly lit, smoke-filled bar in the ’60s, swaying to the sound of heartbreak and hope. This track revisits a dynamic sound that never really went out of style, leaving listeners yearning, hopeful, and utterly captivated. “Let’s Try Again” is a must-list for those craving a little soul with their rhythm.

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.
