Adam De Lucia’s “Will You Follow?” dares you to look beyond the screen
In a world where everyone seems to be competing for attention, Adam De Lucia’s new single, “Will You Follow?”, stands out as not only a catchy tune. It’s a thought-provoking piece that blends modern jazz influences with deep philosophical questions. This isn’t just another song you’d hear on repeat. With few words but rich meaning, “Will You Follow?” cleverly uses irony. You can hear this in the way Michael Ghegan sings, subtly challenging listeners instead of just performing. His flute and saxophone add layers to the music, like hints that encourage you to dig deeper.
On one level, the song takes a jab at the absurdities of social media, where “following” often feels superficial. But if you listen closely, the message is even more serious. This is a cheeky critique and a powerful reflection on important global issues like climate change and economic instability. It also prompts listeners to think, “Do you really know who or what you’re following?” Chrissi Poland adds beautiful vocals that give the song emotional depth. Tim Lefebvre’s electric bass lays down a strong foundation, while Henry Hey’s keyboards and synthesizers create a shimmering atmosphere. Joe Gullace’s trumpet adds a tense energy, giving the song a dynamic feel as it moves between quieter and more intense moments.
What makes “Will You Follow?” exceptional is the talented musicians involved and the overall tone of the piece. It’s playful yet pointed, engaging, and sincere. Each musician contributes not only to showcase their skills but also to enrich the conversation within the music. By the time the song comes to an end, you’re left not just humming a tune but also pondering a lingering question. With this release, Adam De Lucia reminds us that great music challenges our minds. And it might even make you think twice about what you’re following.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”
Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.
The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.
The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.
The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.
