Julie Slim turns the shadows into light on new release “One More Day”

Julie Slim

Julie Slim’s new song, “One More Day,” is a potent reminder of how to stay alive, be strong, and celebrate the small wins that come with the decision to keep going. What started decades ago as an instrumental piece, “April Morning,” by pianist Shawn Ellison, has grown into a deeply personal collaboration that reveals Julie’s emotional landscape.

The original piece had a lively rhythm and complex textures that created a musical landscape. When Julie and Shawn got back together in 2017, they worked together again, and the song came back to her, quickly stealing her heart. As the song went on, its progression became increasingly tied to Julie’s own story.

Julie grew up in the beautiful Mediterranean city of Beirut, but her life changed a lot when she moved to Allentown, Pennsylvania, where the seasons change a lot. She had been worried for a long time that she might have Seasonal Affective Disorder, and the long, dark winter days started to have a significant effect on her. The seasons slowly became a landscape she had to cross with care and purpose.

Julie Slim’s voice is both soft and firm, wrapping around her music in a way that makes it sound as if she’s open to being hurt. The song has a slow, steady beat that makes you think, hope, and stay calm. It honors the bravery it takes to face a new day and the work it takes to deal with changes in your feelings. “One More Day” is a piece of art that is based on people, made with honesty, and meant to make people feel better.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

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.
