Bridgitte Mathiasen breaks free with bold new single “It’s Not for You”
In a society that promotes us to tone down, filter, or turn the light down on our accomplishments, Bridgitte Mathiasen says a strong no with her latest release, “It’s Not for You.” The song is a soulful, empowering message of radical self-love that does not apologize for being fully and authentically oneself. “It’s Not for You” pulls you into a quietly confident force, the sound of someone who’s done explaining. The production chugs along with tempered swagger, letting Bridgitte’s voice take the lead.
And what a voice it is, intimate, confident, and totally real. There is no performance here, just presence. The single is a love letter to self, it’s not the self we too many of us toggle between presenting to the world and then hiding, it’s the layered, multitudes-holding self. It’s a celebration of every part we’ve been told to hide and every piece we’ve tried to fix. And Bridgitte brings those parts to center stage. She sings for no validation, just liberation. “It’s Not for You” resides in the in-between place of self-acceptance and self-celebration.
But don’t get it twisted, this is not a bitter song. This isn’t about exclusion or defiance for the sake of being rebellious. It’s a boundary with care. A silent but profoundly powerful one that says, “You don’t have to like me, I wasn’t made for you to like.” Bridgitte Mathiasen’s “It’s Not for You” does not sound so much like a traditional single as a cultural necessity. In less than four minutes, she creates a place for listeners to breathe deeper, stand taller, and maybe just maybe see themselves a bit more clearly.

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.
