“Good To Be Alive” by Dryadic is a warm embrace of joy
Dryadic’s new single, “Good To Be Alive,” feels like a soothing balm for the soul. It blends folk and jazz elements into a warm, relaxing song that captures the essence of a lazy afternoon. With the smooth vocals of Zora McDonald at the forefront, this track invites you to reflect and find joy, evoking the bittersweet memories of long lockdown days.
This song shines in its relatable, conversational lyrics. It feels like sharing stories on a boat along the Kennet and Avon Canal, where the song was inspired. This authenticity and warmth are a refreshing change in today’s fast-paced music scene.
Recorded at Brighton Road Studios with producer Jake Skinner, “Good To Be Alive” flows naturally. Zora’s heartfelt storytelling shines through, accompanied by the gentle sounds of Aly Rainey’s fiddle and George Pearson’s deep bass, while Emma Holbrook’s soft drumming adds a steady rhythm that enhances the overall mood without overwhelming it.
The song captures a beautiful balance between moments of calm and celebration, blending memories with the joy of being present. As Zora puts it, there’s a “cheeky twist at the end” that serves as a playful reminder of life’s unexpected moments that keep us humble and appreciative. “Good To Be Alive” is an invitation to pause, breathe, and enjoy the simple beauty of life. It’s like a comforting embrace that lingers long.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”
Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.
“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.
The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.

J’mall expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own on “Unattainable”
J’mall’s latest single, “Unattainable,” expresses the pain of chasing someone else’s success over your own. The song explores the emotional void caused by constant comparison rather than motivation.
“Unattainable” is about realizing that no matter how hard one works to meet others’ expectations, the reward will never be satisfying. J’mall explores the stress of “keeping up with the Joneses” and the exhaustion of comparing yourself to standards that weren’t meant for you.
The song’s honesty resonates, the message doesn’t feel preachy or polished. It feels personal, like J’mall is sharing life lessons. The record’s quiet strength is its embrace of individuality and personal responsibility without pretending it’s easy.
