Dylan Joseph Reminisces About His College Break Up On Country Single “Closer To You”
Country music singer-songwriter and producer Dylan Joseph releases his latest song today, “Closer To You,” following-up on the incredibly beautiful music video and song, “44,” dropped earlier this year.
Sad and happy recollections often make up a large part of our memories, as we dive in the nostalgic mood of reliving as much as we can bits and pieces of the emotional rollercoasters we’ve been through.
One of the first songs written by Dylan Joseph, “Closer To You” takes a look in the past at his college break up experience, and how every moment was another reason to remember how perfect his ex-girlfriend was, and how much he missed her.
Whether listening to a love song on the radio while driving, or passing by in front of a place where we had been together, we often look for every sign to bring back our once much loved lover back for a few seconds in our lives. Of course, it is usually right after a break-up that things get the toughest, and that’s what is beautifully translated into a flawless country song by the extremely skilled Dylan Joseph on “Closer To You”.
Dylan always felt close to music thanks to his father who was a professional drummer, and as Dylan says “There was always a drum set in the house because my father was a professional drummer.” At fourteen years old, Dylan picked-up the drums, in his father’s footsteps, but also taught himself playing the guitar at eighteen years old.
He first met succes for a song he co-wrote titled “Just Friends” created for the YouTube hit show “Malibu Surf,” a track that counts around 10M views. He has written songs for different artists, in a broad array of genres, but his heart and passion is to write and perform the country music he loves.
This dreamy country song is just another proof of this emerging artist’s immense potential, and after “44,” “Closer To You” will most surely expose his unique artistry to those who still haven’t heard his incredible sound.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“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.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

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.
