AnnaBelle Swift invites the world to feel again with soulful single “Open Your Heart”
AnnaBelle Swift, celebrated for combining her folk roots with Americana soul and a shimmery touch of jazz, is tapping into that magic on her latest single, “Open Your Heart.” Issued through the quietly tough Sound Chamber Records, the song is more of an emotional encounter than a song. The song is the sound of a letter written in the still corners of the psyche, asking the listener to lower bridge and open heart. With her customary mix of revealing acoustic textures and melodically sophisticated accompaniment, Swift takes us on a journey across a soundscape that is fiercely intimate and universally relatable at once.
There’s an almost cinematic sweep to her phrasing, like she’s re-creating for you a story you somehow forgot you lived. Whispers of wisdom find their way into the jazz phrasing, as a folk base keeps the song grounded and authentic. “Open Your Heart” is a tender but insistent call to vulnerability. It’s the type of song that could serve as a backdrop to a montage of memories or a quiet Sunday morning with someone you love. It’s comforting without being blanketing and emotive without spilling into melodrama.
And Swift’s voice, already celebrated for its lack of aging, couldn’t sound warmer or clearer. She conveys every line with an honesty that can only be informed by experience. You believe her and the message she’s carrying. In “Open Your Heart,” AnnaBelle Swift solidifies her position not as a songwriter but as a storyteller. It’s a reminder made so beautifully and acted so exquisitely that it’s all right to have feelings, however much they might get you down, and that it’s okay to make a connection and that it’s okay to keep your heart open.

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.
