ISY Releases Music Video for Pop Ballad “Airplane Mode”

Officially released on June 25th, the music video for “Airplane Mode” showcases ISY for the unique emerging artist she is – a style icon, powerful vocalist, and prolific songwriter wrapped into one. Utilizing the popular live stream platform Twitch to write and produce her latest single “Airplane Mode”, ISY describes the process as creating in a “place where I’m finally starting to come out of my shell.” “I was freestyling this online to an audience of people I know are like-minded, and I wanted to make them laugh, feel, and transport them to an illusive and beautiful place… virtually… definitely something we’ve all gotten good at in this first chapter of the 2020s,” says the artist.

ISY shares the sentiment that “Airplane Mode” is her story of gaining self-worth and a call to the sensitive and introspective. “I wanted to make something that was vulnerable and real, but also unshrinking, even a little cheeky. It can feel like an act of defiance to prioritize our own peace of mind and development. I tried to express that defiant feeling in a positive and celebratory way.” The single release was well received with features on Spotify playlists like BMI’s Picks: Pop/Rock, The Deli Magazine, and support from DJ LILICAY who shared both the music video and behind-the-scenes footage on her Twitch channel. With a smooth, lo-fi, RnB sound matched with feel-good, self-assured lyrics, ISY executes exactly what she set out to do.

“I went kinda goofy with it at times, I didn’t shy away from being a seemingly random emotional rollercoaster. That’s authentic to how I was feeling while creating it, and how I think the rocky journey to confidence is for many – all over the map, circling back more and more frequently to a space of inner calm.”

Borrowing from an eclectic mix of soundscapes, ISY is a prolific writer and producer who has performed regularly from an early age. She is an interactive and high-spirited performer, delivering her creations with great care. Her sound is informed by a broad range of genres, from the lyrical innovation of hip hop/rap to iconic Motown ambiance, or rugged early grunge. Her style is marked by both lyrical originality and playfulness, and the “accessible” melodic elements of pop music. She cut her teeth regularly busking on subway platforms, and now also streams her songs and production processes on Twitch – a community she describes as very much like virtual busking.

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.
