Heron charms with a modern pulse in spirited new single “Read My Mind”
Heron is back with “Read My Mind,” the second single from his coming album ‘Underground Sky’ that will be revealed as a series of singles. This is a snapshot of an artist fully in command of their vision, blending past and present into something distinctively forward-thinking. “Read My Mind” combines alternative pop and folk rock with a healthy dose of jangly guitars, stacked harmonies, and a rhythm section buzzing with analog energy. Heron fills all of it with a modern edge and a sense of daring pop experimentation that is fresh and boldly inventive.
Arriving as one of the more uptempo offerings from Heron’s custom-built world, the track explodes with a contagious and unforeseen bounce. It’s breezy without dumbing down and clever without being smug. The production is textured but never cluttered, reflecting Heron’s status as a one-person powerhouse writing, producing, performing, mixing all parts, and directing and editing all the corresponding music videos. While many artists find a safe space in a particular genre lane, Heron thrives on reinvention. Everytime ‘Underground Sky’ comes with a new release, it promises a different world in soundscape, and “Read My Mind” sets the bar high. It’s the sort of song that makes you want to hear it again because it leaves threads of curiosity.
It enlists the listener in an internal conversation, garbed in old-fashioned shimmer and 21st-century nuance. It’s that rare combination of introspection and groove, the kind of tune you could dance to alone in your kitchen. Heron is constructing a growing, genre-defying music. “Read My Mind” is a bold, brilliant tile in that mural, and if it represents what ‘Underground Sky’ has to offer, it is set to be one of the most unique affairs of the year.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

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.
