Cinthia Rivas currently lives in the Massachusetts area and is focused on honing her craft as an artist. Working with Lit Honey Productions, Rivas has cultivated a sound utilizing lush harmonies and heavy beats. At times it’s Alternative-Hip-hop and alternative Rnb. Other times she may dabble in more of a commercial pop vibe too. Working with her producer Daniel Searl she has a lot of music in store for the new year with her next track being more of a dancehall feel.
Cinthia Rivas is certainly an open singer and artist who in the studio environment is writing her own material as well as tastefully covering a variety of Antonio Carlos Jobim songs with a new more modern flavor. Through Lit Honey Productions, Rivas met Tyler Hustle. His heavy modern rap style flow pairs nicely with Rivas’s at times breathy yet strong vocals. Her latest single, “One Note Samba” brings the old new again by taking a Jobim hook and putting it in the context of a modern alternative hip-hop setting. Hustles freestyle rap vibes keep a thread through the song. Both have a promising career ahead of them and work closely with Lit Honey Productions to produce and compose their music.

“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”

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.
