Barrelly Ego captures the storm of the heart in “Wither Weather”
When feelings become too overpowering to bear, they can occasionally take shape as storms, and that’s a reality that Barrelly Ego has channeled into his latest single, “Wither Weather.” Barrelly Ego isn’t sugarcoating the complexity of these sentiments. He leans into them, turns them inside out, and writes a song that reflects an emotional flood of sleepless nights and unanswered questions. “Wither Weather” explores vulnerability in the context of transition. The uncertainty crowds like ominous clouds, the ache of broken hearts breezes through like a cold wind, and the restless mind spins around like a storm you can’t outrun.
The single reflects the gravity of these states through its lyrics and mood. Barrelly Ego works with atmospheric brushstrokes to create a soundscape that’s as changeable as the climate atop which it treads. Listeners will relate to the honesty of its delivery as well as its themes. Anyone who has ever been caught between the desire to hold on and the stark truth of letting go will hear the struggle threaded throughout every note. “Wither Weather” leans not from the rawness of heartbreak, but it doesn’t drown in sorrow either. It grabs the “in-between,” where the clarity hasn’t come yet, where all you get is the storm.
What makes Barrelly Ego distinct is his talent for constructing intimacy using ambiguity. He opens up a void into which anyone can pour all their heartache, all their distance, all their disquieted questioning. “Wither Weather” is a mirror for those who listen. It’s the type of track that comes with the peacefulness that exists after a storm has passed. On “Wither Weather,” Barrelly Ego captures the feel of emotional storms but also serves as a reminder that, as overwhelming as they may be, storms are part and parcel of being human.

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
