Alicia Delmarie offers healing in harmony with soulful new single “Forgiveness”

With heat in her voice and mission in her soul, American/Jamaican artist Alicia Delmarie and Sizzla, has released her latest single, “Forgiveness,” a song that feels like a healing, comforting salve for tired hearts. Born out of some smooth R&B/Soul/Reggae fusion, Alicia always brings on the chill, and it’s no different here. “Forgiveness” is an emotional experience, a soft pulse that reassures us peace is in loving others but also learning to let go. With her trademark sound of lightness and soulfulness, Alicia writes her response in a song that’s at once timely and timeless. Alicia’s vocals skate freely over a laid-back, reggae-infused groove.
The production is warm and stripped-down, affording ample space for her voice rich, honeyed, and deeply emotive to shine. Every word she sings has an unmistakably sincere ring to it, as though “Forgiveness” were a private letter written to the world. What sets Alicia apart is her spiritual glow. Her music not only sounds good, it feels good. That’s because her art has a reason for being. “Forgiveness” is representative of her struggle to be a “shining light to a positive change around the world,” and she achieves it by making an often heavy subject a soulful celebration of healing. Listeners will end up rocking gently, not only to the rhythm but to the conviction in Alicia’s sentiments.
And at a time when grudges are all too often glorified, and division feels like the rule, a song like “Forgiveness” is a breath of fresh air, a melodic head-bump toward grace. Alicia Delmarie is not only an artist but a message of joy and peace. “Forgiveness” is indicative of the positive spirit she hopes to project through her music and a sign of her developing artistry and devotion to emotional transparency. If “Forgiveness” is any indication of what’s to come, Alicia Delmarie is creating ripples in the hearts of people worldwide.

Erik Aronesty paints a portrait of modern disconnection with “The Usual”

Erik Aronesty, hailing from New York, is back with a new single titled “The Usual.” This lo-fi pop song captures the feeling of being in a dream that you don’t want to escape. Its sound is raw and gentle, creating a vibe that is both detached and surprisingly deep. “The Usual” takes you on a journey that feels frozen in time, mixing memories and a hint of sadness. The music has a lightness to it, floating through your thoughts like mist on a quiet city street. Aronesty’s unique style blends soothing sounds with dreamy atmospheres, reflecting on feelings of loneliness and the odd routines of daily life. What sets this song apart is its straightforwardness.
Aronesty doesn’t use lots of fancy production tricks, he embraces a simple approach that highlights his emotional honesty. The rhythm gently moves under his vocals, which feel almost distant, as if he’s singing from another room. This feeling of being slightly apart lends depth to the lyrics, which speak to the monotony and numbness we often experience in our daily routines. There’s something profoundly human about how “The Usual” portrays emotional distance without turning cynical. The song feels more like an observation of life than a complaint about it, like a quiet sigh rather than a loud outcry for help.
In this subtle honesty lies its real strength. Aronesty is softly humming a tune as he navigates through it. With “The Usual,” Erik Aronesty shows us that music can make an impression without being loud. His calm style, combined with the mingling of sadness and beauty, makes him a unique voice in today’s indie music scene. This gently captures your attention over time, with a beauty that stays with you. If “The Usual” hints at what Aronesty has in store next, it’s certainly worth paying attention to quietly and with curiosity.
