Her distinct voice glides effortlessly over an ethereal sonic backdrop, carrying emotional weight reminiscent of Taylor Swift’s emotive style and the indie sincerity of artists like Lucy Dacus, Katie Gavin, and Gracie Abrams. However, Libby is not merely imitating anyone; she has carved out her unique sonic identity through her lyrical honesty and with a DIY aesthetic charm that enhances the authenticity of her work.
Lyrically, the song juxtaposes imagery of vintage photographs and fleeting moments that feel like pages torn from a handwritten letter, igniting intimate experiences with gratitude and unflinching commitments. Knowing that this song emerged from a personal creative space, not a polished studio but her room, makes it hit even harder. Collaborative production efforts by Wolfgang Pander on the beat and Santino Cardinale as co-producer help elevate the track without compromising its heartfelt essence.
“Ingram Road” serves as an acoustic time capsule, a melodic love letter, and a reminder that the environments and individuals who shape us never truly leave us. Libby Johnston has delivered something quietly powerful for pop enthusiasts seeking substance alongside melodic appeal. It deserves a spot on your playlist, inviting listeners to think and take a moment to honor their maternal figure through its evocative storytelling. You’ll find yourself wanting to replay it.

BluntBrad Jr. finds calm ambition in the laid-back shine of “It’s All Good”
BluntBrad Jr.’s new single, “It’s All Good,” sounds like a steady handshake and a deep breath. It’s warm, honest, and not trying to be cool. There isn’t any fancy production hiding behind layers of polish here. Instead, the song is all about being honest. The song is laid-back and offers up the shine of a studio recording for the feeling of a candid introduction, a musical “hello” from someone who wants to be heard for who they are.
“It’s All Good” is a very human way to be hopeful at its core. The feeling is simple and real, like someone who won’t let little things stand in the way of their goals. The words to the song sound like friends talking to each other. They discuss their goals, their drive, and their need for attention in a way that is honest and not needy.
The production backs this up by making sure that everything is open and airy. The instruments are simple and easy to understand, so BluntBrad Jr.’s voice and message come through clearly. The song feels real because it doesn’t have a lot of extra stuff in it. You’re not hearing a heavily constructed persona; you’re hearing someone at the start of a journey, eager to make their mark.
The song’s rough edges make it captivating, which is better than polish, which would have smoothed it out. This way of thinking fits with the theme: hope isn’t naive here; it’s realistic and steady. It speaks to people who like simple songs and value honesty over artifice.
“It’s All Good” is an engaging and approachable phrase that offers context for an artist who is confident and clear about their artistic vision.
