Another soul-throwing record from Caleb Gordon this time, he’s got “No Remorse.” The up-and-coming MC/faith-building lyricist tells them to shake the haters off prayer over pettiness and that here comes growth and no looking back. With its catchy hook and gut-level storytelling, “No Remorse” is a movement.

When conflict and drama dominate social media feeds and in-person interactions, Caleb seals the digital deal with a refreshing take on resilience. His bars slice through the noise with a simple but profound truth. Peace is the ultimate power move. With a hard-hitting beat everywhere, he weaves that signature Soundcloud rap yet also combines himself with spiritually rooted wisdom, proving once again that in the ever-expanding space of faith-based hip-hop, CollegiateGod separates himself from the pack.

The production on the track is clean and alluring, with melodic elements and an irresistible bounce that meld together perfectly. It’s the sort of song that draws you in with its beat but keeps you listening with its meaning. Whether you ride around the city or you, deal with personal holy wars, or you want a kick up the ass, No Remorse has the kind of authenticity that makes music more than entertainment. It makes it an experience.

With Caleb Gordon’s recent rising influence transcending the church and entering the mainstream of rap, the project “No Remorse” shows that Caleb will pave the way for a new wave of the genre. Holding firm to his faith while making music that appeals to such a wide listener base speaks to his artistry and his purpose.

In a world that so often celebrates revenge and bitterness, Caleb provides a counterexample, a path that soars, encourages, and strengthens. No Remorse is a statement. It is perfect as the soundtrack for those looking to let go, level up, and move ahead without looking back.

Some songs beautifully capture stories whispered through time, and “Things Found In Books,” performed by Yvonne Lyon & Boo Hewerdine, is notable for this phenomenon unearthed rather than written. Inspired by a noticeboard in a second-hand bookshop at Scotland’s historically rich Culzean Castle, this intricately woven tapestry feels intentional, encapsulating a love letter to forgotten fragments of memories tied to seemingly trivial artifacts such as old receipts, hand-scrawled notes, and evocative photographs tucked away in diaries full of potent symbols. These represent intimate moments that have faded from memory, particularly within the context of estranged relationships with which one has inadvertently lost touch.

Lyon’s vocal performance, as always, is a masterclass in tenderness, imbued with a profound emotional gravitas. It presents a nuanced portrayal of everyday life while maintaining an intimate vulnerability that resonates personally and universally. Meanwhile, Hewerdine’s seasoned songwriting sensibility adds a timeless resonance, with each line meticulously crafted to elicit introspection from the listener. Together, they create a nostalgic sonic experience akin to a well-worn page, balancing fragility with the hopeful undertones of cherished memories.

Musically, “Things Found In Books” is understated yet captivating. Its stripped-back yet rich, folk-infused production allows the lyrics to take center stage. A gentle acoustic backdrop, subtle piano flourishes, and atmospheric textures warm the song long after the last note fades.

Ultimately, this piece exemplifies storytelling at its finest, rooted in the intrinsic beauty of ordinary moments. Yvonne Lyon and Boo Hewerdine are among the UK’s emerging stars and have successfully transcended conventional musicality to forge a poignant reminder of the serendipitous revelations in life and artistic expression. It encourages listeners to imagine the once-lived life hidden in the pages of their past, rendering it an invaluable addition for lovers of sophisticated poetic lyricism and heartfelt melodies.
