KellyMarie Gets The “Timing Right” With New Single And Announces Return To Live Music

Indie-pop singer-songwriter KellyMarie delivers a captivating follow up to her 2018 debut EP, On A Whim, with her newest single, “Timing Right,” out February 4th. The artist is set to celebrate this release the following night with her first post-lockdown show opening for American band Mae at Dallas’ Granada Theater on Saturday, February 5th. KellyMarie shows listeners with this release just what she’s had in the works during her time away; her performance will feature more new songs from the upcoming album due for release in March 2022. This new project was a moment for the artist in which she dove head first into creating a body of work inspired by beloved house-hold television staple, The Office. “It’s often said – write about what you know and love,” says the seasoned songstress, “so during the lockdown, [she] did just this.” KellyMarie found herself writing the lead single for this album in the electric moment that inspiration hit. Beyond the angelic vocals and breezy melodies fans have already fallen in love with, listeners can expect to encounter a new side of KellyMarie’s artistry that offers a deeper look into the singer we met in 2018.

Stream “Timing Right” on all major streaming platforms on February 4th.

Roxy Rawson Finds Light in the Shadows with “I Found a Place in the Woods”

Roxy Rawson

Music is very sacred because it can convey both pain and peace simultaneously. Roxy Rawson‘s new single, “I Found a Place in the Woods,” does just that. This haunting, ethereal masterpiece by well-known composer Jherek Bischoff is out now on November 7th. It’s an emotional landscape made up of solitude, strength, and quiet rebirth. Roxy Rawson transforms folklore into a deeply personal story about her own journey through divorce and starting anew, inspired by the fairy tale “The Three Ravens.” The song takes you to a magical place where loss and healing meet, where grief slowly gives way to hope under the cover of old trees.

Bischoff’s production is both rich and delicate. It layers Rawson’s angelic voice over haunting strings and textures that seem to breathe with life. The song has an organic stillness to it, like being in the woods after a storm, when all you can hear is the rustling of leaves and the sound of your own heartbeat. Roxy’s voice is both weak and strong, like sunlight coming through branches after a long night. Every lyric feels like it was meant to be, and every pause makes you think. It’s the sound of finding yourself again in nature’s quiet embrace, a moment of giving up that turns into a song of survival.

Rawson doesn’t just give you a melody with “I Found a Place in the Woods.” She provides a safe place for you to go. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends, like a memory of finding peace in the middle of chaos. This song is one of Roxy Rawson’s most personal and mighty works to date. It’s perfect for fans of ethereal storytelling, cinematic folk, and emotional honesty. It reminds us that beauty can flourish even in the face of loss, and that sometimes healing begins with simply finding a quiet place to be.
