Jack Horton and Vesper Stockwell spark emotion in “Never Know Why”
If and when music is the language of emotions, Jack Horton’s new single, “Never Know Why,” features Vesper Stockwell, who talks entirely in florid verse. Unveiled as the fourth offering from his gut-wrenching EP Imperfections, this duet is a journey that starts with vulnerability and ends with sweeping majesty. Beginning with a sparse arrangement that allows the rawness of the moment to unfold, “Never Know Why” draws listeners into an intimate, emotional space. Jack’s gravel-voiced signature vocals are earthy, weathered, and real, hitting you right off the bat. Vesper Stockwell, whose voice drifts in with crystalline purity, is an instant and almost magnetic contrast.
“Never Know Why” is a love song, it studies the mysterious pull of human connection, the kind that goes against reason but seems completely indispensable. This is a love song about the incomprehensible nature of love and the need to be with someone. And in keeping with that sentiment, the song encapsulates both the ache and awe of loving without rationale. As the track progresses, the instrumentation expands and swells strings rocket the melody heavenward, the percussion throbs with subdued power, and the once-bare confessional blossoms into an all-out orchestral release. It’s a brilliant metaphor for how love begins as something small and keen, and if properly nourished, a fire that burns in a hearth can grow into a leaping, uncontainable bonfire.
What distinguishes “Never Know Why” is the way Horton and Stockwell pour themselves into every fucking line. It’s chemistry, and you can practically taste it. Not only in the harmonies themselves, but in the silences that cleave them. In the lingering notes. In the shared vulnerability. This is a track on an EP, and a moment. What a memory in the making for anyone who has ever loved anyone without a reason. “Never Know Why” is available for streaming on all platforms, and if you’ve ever wondered why your heart is drawn to someone you can’t make sense of, Jack Horton says you’ll never know why, because maybe you don’t need to.

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.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
