Anjalts’ newest release, “Just Stay 4 Awhile,” stirs a mesmerizing dreamscape
Anjalts again proves her exceptional musical prowess as a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist with the release of her enchanting latest single, “Just Stay 4 Awhile.” This track delivers an intoxicatingly smooth and heartfelt plea, marked by a sophisticated sonic palette that resonates deeply, much like the ephemeral beauty of a sunset. Serving as the fourth single from her forthcoming album, it features a laid-back groove that encourages listeners to find and appreciate moments of tranquility amidst the frenetic pace of modern life.
Musically, the song establishes a compelling rhythmic flow that captivates listeners from the outset, expertly merging elements of acoustic instrumentation with ethereal electric guitar tones. The arrangement exudes an organic, almost improvisational quality reminiscent of a spontaneous late-night jam session you just happened to stumble into. Anjalts’ signature vocal harmonies seamlessly envelop the chorus, enhancing the song’s accessible sing-along melodic structure.
Lyrically, “Just Stay 4 Awhile” encapsulates the universal longing for solace in interpersonal connections, emphasizing the importance of cherishing ephemeral interactions. Within this auditory canvas, Anjalts conveys an intimate yearning, expressing her desire to gaze into her partner’s eyes and evoke a timeless emotion grounded in shared experiences under the vastness of the cosmos. The lyrical complexity achieves a nuanced equilibrium between vulnerability and romantic idealism, successfully steering clear of sentimentality.
The lead guitar, adorned with a flange effect, introduces an ethereal dimension that weaves through the track, resembling ephemeral memories. Meanwhile, the hypnotic acoustic strums act as the composition’s heartbeat, providing a subtle but persistent pulse. The composition’s fluidity appears effortless, yet it reveals the meticulous craftsmanship of a seasoned artist who considers each sonic detail attentively.
With “Just Stay 4 Awhile,” Anjalts continues to carve out a distinctive niche within the music landscape. Her authentic approach as a writer, producer, and performer allows her to create a rich auditory sanctuary, inviting audiences to engage introspectively, embrace the present, and appreciate the beauty of fleeting moments. This single further cements her position as a notable voice in contemporary music.

Shoketta gives jazz a new voice on latest release “Summer time”
Shoketta kicks off “Summertime” by reimagining it with a deep, jazz-filled bass line built on Richie Goods’ acoustic bass. The arrangement announces its character right away, with Clarence Penn’s drums opening up the musical space and Andy Ezrin’s Rhodes adding bright, scattered color. And then percussion from Daniel Sadownick adds another layer of rhythm in the lower registers, before Shoketta’s vocals finally come in.
Shoketta makes the standard her own, taking a familiar composition and treating it like a modern jazz vocalist, with her own phrasing and expression. The performance doesn’t rely on the song’s pre-existing identity; instead, the singer’s interpretation becomes an integral part of the experience. But the musicians around her leave enough space for the track to breathe, keeping it jazz-centered.
The biggest surprise comes when Nozomi Yamaguchi’s electric guitar takes the arrangement in a more unexpected, adventurous direction. That change adds a discovery element to “Summertime,” pulling the performance out of its original jazz context. Shoketta’s voice remains at the heart of the piece, and the musicians continue exploring possibilities around it. The result is a thoughtful interpretation that stays true to tradition while still pushing the music in a new direction.
