Adam De Lucia’s “Girl” turns jazz crossover into a playful poem to forbidden desire
Adam De Lucia’s new single, “Girl,” is a fun and playful song that explores the concept of attraction in a fresh and engaging way. Unlike many songs that deal with love, especially in unique situations, De Lucia approaches the topic with humor and charm, celebrating his feelings without heavy drama or judgment. While it shares similar themes with classics like “Roxanne” by The Police and “Mama” by Genesis, De Lucia’s take feels much lighter and more relatable.
“Girl” has an upbeat vibe that reminds listeners of The Beatles’ catchy tracks, such as “Twist and Shout” and “Ticket to Ride.” It combines the joy of pop music with elements of jazz, making it an interesting blend of styles. This fusion is something De Lucia doesn’t often explore, making this song a special treat for fans. One standout moment in the song includes a line in French, “gardons le entre nous,” which cleverly nods to Bob Dylan’s classic, “Let’s Keep It Between Us.” It’s little details like this that give “Girl” depth, pairing catchy melodies with clever lyrics and cultural references while keeping the rhythm lively. The recording showcases a fantastic collaboration with several talented musicians.
It features Donny McCaslin on saxophone, along with Michael Ghegan on various instruments, and Henry Hey on keyboards, among others. Together, they create a rich and vibrant sound that stands out. “Girl” highlights Adam De Lucia’s ability to cross genres and moods effortlessly. With its catchy tune, witty lyrics, and impressive musicianship, the song encourages listeners to rethink their ideas about desire and secrecy, all while maintaining a lighthearted and engaging feel. In a music scene filled with predictable themes, “Girl” stands out as a fun, relatable, and captivating piece.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
