GOODTWIN shares reflection with indie-pop single, “Soak It Up”
The indie-pop project GOODTWIN offers a subtly stirring new single, “Soak It Up,” that’s sort of like taking a deep breath after drowning out the world for so long. The track combines avant-garde jazz elements with their indie-pop sensibilities. “Soak It Up” is more of a quiet rallying cry than a rousing proclamation.
The song gently explores the push-pull of life between external pressures and inner peace, the feeling of being pulled in multiple directions while seeking a soft place to land. GOODTWIN’s leading force and vocalist, Gus Alexander, wrote the song in response to that insidious, yet understated, influence on modern life, and the need for validation, doing something useful with your time today, and, at the same time, being attractive enough to get what you need gutted from someone else.
“Soak It Up” offers an encounter with the concepts by attending to how it was made, with a focus on presence rather than performance and on significance over distraction. The balance between warmth and precision in the production is immaculate. The track, produced and engineered by Carly Bond and Germaine Dunes of Sound and Hearing at Altamira Sound, has a refined yet raw feel that doesn’t seem polished but rather suggests a human element, which suits its introspective tones.
Jack Doutt’s mastering adds another layer of depth to a soulfully rich composition, leaving enough space for each element to shine without overwhelming the others. The result is a cohesive, immersive sound that feels intentional throughout. For fans of indie-pop with a sprinkle of jazz, introspective verses, and emotionally driven production, the track is an exciting addition to GOODTWIN’s blossoming discography. It’s a piece of music that invites a slower tempo, that forces attentive listening, and, with it, an experience more fully lived.

ELISA MINELLI offers courage in your own hands with latest release “Grab Your Guitar”
ELISA MINELL‘s latest release, “Snag Your Guitar,” is a pop single about empowerment and self-expression. The song by the Italian singer-songwriter-composer grows out of an idea she has previously explored in her contemporary classical work, “The Fall,” based on the idea of “amor fati” by Nietzsche, but in the form of an English-language pop song. This is a personal message in another form of music.
The message of “Grab Your Guitar” is not to let the challenges rule you, but to face them head on. Music is more than just something you hear. It’s a way to release your emotions and also find strength within yourself. The guitar in the song’s central metaphor symbolizes taking charge of your own story; everyone has the power to be the hero of their own story.
That sense of determination gives the song its emotional arc. “Grab Your Guitar” is about bouncing back from hard times, about not sitting around when life gets tough. MINELL ELISA. I combine music with personal empowerment. The song’s message is straightforward. It brings the idea into a pop setting and adds another layer to the song’s journey in relation to her wider creative output. Ultimately, it reminds you to take what empowers you and keep pushing forward.
