Libby Johnston ignites harmonious heartstrings of childhood memories with her newest release, “Ingram Road”
With her new single “Ingram Road,” rising singer/songwriter Libby Johnston presents a heartfelt tribute to her formative years and cherished childhood memories of her parents’ unwavering dedication. Written, recorded, and created as a surprise Mother’s Day gift to her mom, the track envelops listeners in a nostalgic soundscape characterized by shimmering pop melodies. This intensely personal track evokes a strong connection, resonating with anyone reflecting on the special nature of their relationships with maternal figures. It captures the unique vulnerability that comes with unconditional love, appealing to people from all walks of life, regardless of where you grew up, whether in Auckland or Alabama, about the pang and beauty of looking back that Libby perfectly echoes.
Her distinct voice glides effortlessly over an ethereal sonic backdrop, carrying emotional weight reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s emotive style and the indie sincerity of artists like Lucy Dacus, Katie Gavin, and Gracie Abrams. However, Libby is not merely imitating anyone; she has carved out her unique sonic identity through her lyrical honesty and with a DIY aesthetic charm that enhances the authenticity of her work.
Lyrically, the song juxtaposes imagery of vintage photographs and fleeting moments that feel like pages torn from a handwritten letter, igniting intimate experiences with gratitude and unflinching commitments. Knowing that this song emerged from a personal creative space, not a polished studio but her room, makes it hit even harder. Collaborative production efforts by Wolfgang Pander on the beat and Santino Cardinale as co-producer help elevate the track without compromising its heartfelt essence.
“Ingram Road” serves as an acoustic time capsule, a melodic love letter, and a reminder that the environments and individuals who shape us never truly leave us. Libby Johnston has delivered something quietly powerful for pop enthusiasts seeking substance alongside melodic appeal. It deserves a spot on your playlist, inviting listeners to think and take a moment to honor their maternal figure through its evocative storytelling. You’ll find yourself wanting to replay it.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
