Emilie Thorsby turns self-belief into a bold musical statement with latest release “Amazing as hell”
Emilie Thorsby‘s latest release, “Amazing as hell,” is a song about self-belief, independence, and choosing to stop caring what others think. It’s about being comfortable in your skin and not apologizing for it. This attitude gives the record a direct personality, and the catchy guitars help carry the message with energy rather than a heavy-handed statement.
The lyrics are judgmental directly, “You’re the one that always judge me, you choose to test me when I show the best of me, you treat like an old pair of jeans.” The frustration of being judged even when showing your best side. There’s a playful defiance in “Let them talk, what the hell were all those rules” that fits with this song’s refusal to be boxed in by others’ expectations.
“Amazing as hell” works because it’s about a simple message, know your value, own your space, and don’t spend your life asking permission from everyone around you. Emilie Thorsby delivers a spirited track that makes self-acceptance its biggest strength, with catchy guitar work reinforcing that attitude.Emilie Thorsby turns self-belief into a bold musical statement with “Amazing as hell”

Keesha Blair Turns Family Legacy Into a Powerful Reflection on What We Leave Behind With “The Inheritance”
Keesha Blair’s new single “The Inheritance” is a thoughtful approach to song writing, putting at the center of its message reflection, gratitude and human connection. Blair sees inheritance not just as something material, but as the more profound things people get from people before them: love, wisdom, strength, compassion, and the experiences that quietly shape who they are.
This song is inspired by Blair’s mother and grandmother and has a strong sense of family, but it also goes beyond personal memories to speak to a much wider human experience. That expansion gives “The Inheritance” its emotional heft. The basic idea is simple but allows for a lot of personal interpretation: we take something from the people and lives that formed us, we give something through the way we live, and in the end we leave something behind for others.
The single takes on a particular interest for it is not merely about family as a nostalgic subject, but rather about meaning. Blair employs the notion of legacy to prompt listeners to consider the qualities they have received and how they can pass those qualities on through their own deeds. The result is a reflective piece of music that can speak to anybody who has ever thought about the influence of parents, grandparents, loved ones, or the generations that came before them.
