Jo Beth Young’s Ethereal Encounter “Wolf Song,” Crafts a Modern Fairy Tale of Melancholic Beauty.
In a harmonious blend of ethereal vocals and evocative instrumentation, Jo Beth Young, the visionary English singer and songwriter, unveils her latest gem, “Wolf Song.” The single, a captivating glimpse into her forthcoming album ‘Broken Spells,’ transports listeners to a dreamlike realm where indie-folk intricacies merge seamlessly with electronic elements, resulting in a modern-day fairy tale woven with poignant emotions.
Drawing inspiration from her eclectic musical journey, Jo Beth Young, formerly known as Talitha Rise, intricately threads together Folk and Pop influences, channeling her inner storytelling prowess into “Wolf Song.” The track’s genesis is rooted in a poignant moment when Young penned it on a broken guitar at a friend’s house, a testament to the organic origins that often underpin the most enchanting melodies.
“Wolf Song” introduces listeners to a mysterious character, a curious wolf laden with layers of complexity. Through her ethereal voice, Young spins a tale of caution and empathy, delving into the psyche of this enigmatic figure. The resonant Cello, masterfully played by Ben Roberts, converses with Young’s vocals in a mesmerizing blend, echoing the very essence of the wolf. The song’s sonic landscape, nurtured by the collaboration with Peter Yates, unfurls as a woodland panorama, where the delicate interplay between guitar and electronic elements paints a surreal backdrop.
This track, among the album’s eldest, evolved under the guidance of the talented Matt Blackie, who added a contemporary heartbeat to its ethereal soul. The fusion of acoustic origins with newfound electronic beats is a testament to Young’s artistic evolution. Jules Bangs’ bass playing further enriches the composition, while harps and dreamlike instrumentation infuse a sense of modern enchantment, rendering “Wolf Song” a musical canvas for the 21st-century fairy tale.
“Wolf Song” beckons us to traverse the corridors of a narcissist’s psyche, portraying both the danger and vulnerability encapsulated within. Jo Beth Young’s lyrical craftsmanship evokes empathy even for the most enigmatic characters, as she encapsulates the essence of their yearning and solitude.
As Young readies her third album, this tantalizing single serves as an enticing prelude to her forthcoming musical opus. “Wolf Song” captures the essence of her journey, narrating stories of the heart with a blend of folkloric elegance and contemporary resonance. Jo Beth Young casts an enchantment that lingers with each note, a testament to her prowess as a modern-day musical sorceress.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi
Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.
Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.
The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.
“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
