“Consumerist Dream” by Soleil River Nation delivers an anthem of resistance to materialism
At just 10 years old, Soleil River Nation established herself as a promising talent in the pop-rock powerhouse and a voice for her generation. Her new single, “Consumerist Dream,” represents an audacious, thought-provoking exploration of consumerism and social media’s pressures on young people today. The track achieves a rare equilibrium: candid and optimistic, featuring fearless storytelling that remains inspirational.
From the outset, Soleil’s commanding vocals are imbued with an authenticity that resonates far beyond her youthful years. The track’s anthemic melody is infectiously upbeat, but beneath its vibrant production lies a stark reflection of a world that incessantly urges children and adolescents with the relentless urge to “buy more, be more.” The juxtaposition between the track’s polished sound and sobering message highlights Soleil’s ability to blend catchy hooks with substantive lyrical meaning.
Lyrically, Soleil shines, weaving lines questioning societal norms while offering a rallying cry to resist. The chorus lands like a personal pep talk, inviting listeners to push back against the endless loop of trends that dictate identity. The melody is addictive and impactful, offering critique that simultaneously empowers its audience. She effectively conveys the tug-of-war between self-worth and material obsession with a maturity that surprises while still keeping it relatable for her peers.
Supported by Young Musicians Unite and YMU Studio, “Consumerist Dream” reflects a significant depth of purpose. Soleil’s artistry draws inspiration from renowned artists like Dua Lipa, Sia, and Chappell Roan; however, her perspective is uniquely hers.
With this release, Soleil exemplifies that consumerism does not limit artistic expression. “Consumerist Dream” fosters a dynamic discourse that encapsulates the allure and pitfalls associated with consumerism, a reminder for young people to critically evaluate external influences and recognize their inherent value beyond mere monetary considerations.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
