Sofi Bonde’s “Artificial Taste” is a seductive poem of emotional entanglement
In her stunning new single “Artificial Taste,” Sofi Bonde delves into the glossy surface of love and unveils its most bittersweet illusions. The track is a hypnotic blend of openness, resilience, and poetic grit, serving as an anthem for anyone who has ever felt drawn to the wrong kind of love.
Sofi’s voice is as captivating as ever, smooth and emotionally charged, carrying both pain and defiance. Her delivery feels deeply personal, like a midnight confession you weren’t meant to overhear. This raw emotional connection turns “Artificial Taste” into more of a cinematic experience than a standard pop song; it’s bright, evocative, and possesses a distinctly stylish flair that is characteristic of Sofi Bonde.
The production mirrors the emotional tug-of-war in the lyrics, with hazy synths pulsing like a heartbeat underwater. Subtle guitar lines flutter just out of reach, much like the promises whispered in a toxic romance. There’s a deliberate sense of unease in the arrangement, reflecting the psychological push and pull at the core of the song.
What makes “Artificial Taste” truly striking is its honesty. Sofi doesn’t sugarcoat the pain or glamorize dysfunction. Instead, she holds up a mirror to the manufactured moments we convince ourselves are real and those artificial tastes of love that ultimately leave us feeling empty. More than anything, “Artificial Taste” reminds us that healing often begins with recognizing the beautiful lies we’ve been swallowing whole.

“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.”

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.
