Leonie Persch’s “Code Blue” is an anthem of loss, love and renewal
Pop artist Leonie Persch is back with her second single, “Code Blue,” a bittersweet ballad that encapsulates the delicate threshold when something you’ve fought for ceases to draw breath. Its raw lyricism and emotive vocal delivery firmly establish Persch as a new voice in pop that you should be paying attention to.
“Code Blue” was initially written as a song about lost love, but it has become so much more. The track is about the regrettable truth of what it means to leave behind relationships, dreams, and even former selves that no longer suit you, even if it breaks you apart. It’s about what you have to sacrifice when you’re too big for something still worth fighting for.
That title, taken from the medical term for a state of emergency when life is in danger, becomes a potent metaphor. It’s where you have to end up, but if there were another way, perhaps through the back door or on a trapeze wire, Persch would have found it. This theme takes on even stronger overtones when considered in light of Persch’s journey. After finding success playing at the biggest EDM clubs in Berlin as Bonny Lauren and EVIE, she made a bold decision to leave her established career behind and relocate to Los Angeles.
On “Code Blue,” she reintroduces herself to the world not just as a writer and vocalist, but as the artist she has always aspired to be. Her voice, alternately strong and fragile, draws you into the emotional heart of the song. The production reflects that duality, fragile tunes carry the verses, then open into aching choruses that underscore the heartbreak of goodbye but suggest that dawn will follow.
“Code Blue” is more than a pop ballad. It is a tale of self-discovery, growth, and perseverance, a reminder that endings often give rise to new beginnings. For music lovers craving tracks that are intensely personal yet widely relatable, Leonie Persch is emerging as an artist to watch.

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.
