Lavender Ronin gets real on “Better Said Than Done”
There’s an honesty in Lavender Ronin‘s new, bold single, “Better Said Than Done,” which exposes the silence that shadowboxes with the relentless drive towards creative ambition. This raw confession packs the punch of the hustle that it details. This track by Lavender is both a love letter and a lament to the creative life. It’s the sledge to their consumer-friendly image, an honest book filled with the kind of soul-searching that often doesn’t make it through the PR filters.
The song feels like a collaborative effort with other creatives that Lavender Ronin has encountered with personal experience and stories from the road. Lavender’s lyrics are supported by profanity, not for shock but rather authenticity. Every word feels earned, as though it was wrested from doubt and days trying to hustle for recognition. It is a song that knows the solitary, single-hearted drive to make something that sticks when the rest of the world just wants to know what’s next. The way the song refuses to pretend that perseverance is always photogenic is what reverberates it. Lavender Ronin reminds us it’s all right to try, fail, and bumble toward some kind of purpose.
The production remains spare and atmospheric, allowing the message to sit front and center. Something is bracing about hearing someone say, out loud and without apology, that the creative path is hard as hell. It’s much stronger when they say those words with unwavering conviction and a voice that sounds like it’s already lived every line. Lavender Ronin has given the struggling artist a voice, a mirror, and a united moment spelled in solidarity. “Better Said Than Done” is for the person who has ever questioned their calling but trudged along anyway.

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.
