Alicia Delmarie offers healing in harmony with soulful new single “Forgiveness”

With heat in her voice and mission in her soul, American/Jamaican artist Alicia Delmarie and Sizzla, has released her latest single, “Forgiveness,” a song that feels like a healing, comforting salve for tired hearts. Born out of some smooth R&B/Soul/Reggae fusion, Alicia always brings on the chill, and it’s no different here. “Forgiveness” is an emotional experience, a soft pulse that reassures us peace is in loving others but also learning to let go. With her trademark sound of lightness and soulfulness, Alicia writes her response in a song that’s at once timely and timeless. Alicia’s vocals skate freely over a laid-back, reggae-infused groove.

The production is warm and stripped-down, affording ample space for her voice rich, honeyed, and deeply emotive to shine. Every word she sings has an unmistakably sincere ring to it, as though “Forgiveness” were a private letter written to the world. What sets Alicia apart is her spiritual glow. Her music not only sounds good, it feels good. That’s because her art has a reason for being. “Forgiveness” is representative of her struggle to be a “shining light to a positive change around the world,” and she achieves it by making an often heavy subject a soulful celebration of healing. Listeners will end up rocking gently, not only to the rhythm but to the conviction in Alicia’s sentiments.

And at a time when grudges are all too often glorified, and division feels like the rule, a song like “Forgiveness” is a breath of fresh air, a melodic head-bump toward grace. Alicia Delmarie is not only an artist but a message of joy and peace. “Forgiveness” is indicative of the positive spirit she hopes to project through her music and a sign of her developing artistry and devotion to emotional transparency. If “Forgiveness” is any indication of what’s to come, Alicia Delmarie is creating ripples in the hearts of people worldwide.

DonUpNext keeps climbing when belief disappears on latest release “Gave Up On Me”

DonUpNext‘s latest release, “Gave Up On Me,” is a melodic, guitar-driven song with emotional storytelling. It’s about fighting to keep going when people around you stop believing. It’s about faith and perseverance and determination in the song. It gives the song a sense of personal struggle without losing hope. The guitar base allows the vocals to do the emotional heavy lifting of the story.

The lyrics encapsulate that mentality with simple images, “The top is full but I’m still gonna climb up the mountain.” It is a simple yet powerful image of someone not giving up just because the destination is crowded or hard to reach. That resolve is even more in peril with the track “I’m drowning in my thoughts I’m fighting to stay focused.” It’s this need for support that’s felt before the song slips into the painful realization “Need a helping hand but they gave up on me.”

“Gave Up On Me” toys with that contrast of isolation and persistence. DonUpNext doesn’t make the journey sound easy, rather the song dwells in the struggle of trying to keep focus while bearing doubt and disappointment. The track is emotionally grounded with melodic vocals, a guitar-driven beat and a faith-centered message turning a hard experience into a statement about continuing to climb.
