Kristian Phillip Valentino New Track Released – Wind, Hail, and Snow
Kristian Phillip Valentino is a solo acoustic, singer-songwriter born and raised in the Chicago suburbs and now residing in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, North Carolina. After the passing of his father, ending up homeless, and being broken up with all within one month, Kristian began writing songs in the summer of 2010, as a way to start processing all he’d been through and begin the healing process.
This song, “Wind, Hail, and Snow” is the beginning of the Winter portion. The song is one of the inevitable decisions that must be made and the love story is now starting to end.
From 2010 until 2016 Kristian went under the moniker Ramblin’ Pan. This project was an Alt-Country, Folk sound that was heavily influenced by Ryan Adams, Mumford, and Sons, and Johnny Cash. He released 1 EP, “A Prodigals Tale” and 1 self-titled LP under the moniker.
His musical palette falls between the lines of indie-folk, singer-songwriter, and Americana. Fans of Gregory Alan Isakov, Iron and Wine, and Jason Isbell, will feel comfortable here.
Kristian is currently releasing his first full-length record, “For everything, there is a season” one song at a time. The new album is a concept record based on the 4 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The plot is a love story that starts in Spring and weaves through the other seasons leading to a breakup in the Winter. There are 12 songs, 3 for each season and Kristian is currently releasing 1 song a month for the next year starting in March 2021. The album was recorded in Kansas City, MO, and Claas P Jambor was the producer.
He also went on several national tours in various coffee shops and venues across the USA. In the summer of 2016, Kristian decided to take a break from music after years of constant touring and some deeply traumatic family experiences.
In 2019, Kristian had several life changes; including moving to Asheville,NC, getting married and working through the healing process of the traumatic family events he experienced before his break in 2016. In August of 2020, he finished recording an album that was started in 2016.
The new album is a concept record based on the 4 seasons Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter. The plot is a love story that starts in Spring and weaves through the other seasons leading to a breakup in the Winter. Although it ends as a sad story, it’s a story that will resonate with many others and hopefully can be a healing balm of hope
Kristian Phillip Valentino works best on Country Americana, Indie folk, Indie pop, Singer-songwriter, Creative, Experimental, Good vibes, Unique, Indie, Meaningful lyrics, Original, Early project, On stage experience, and Unsigned artist.

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.
