Marie Mørck swings into a jazzy wake-up joy with “Are You Havin’ Any Fun?”
Marie Mørck is here to remind us that joy is not only a momentary delight but a practice. “Are You Havin’ Any Fun?,” her new single with Snorre Kirk, Magnus Hjorth, and Lasse Mørck, is a shining explosion of swing-era sunshine beautifully coated with timeless jazz charisma.
Marie Mørck establishes the tone from the opening note, playful, cheeky, and full of heart. This is more than a cover, and it’s an unabashed celebration. Mørck’s airy voice spins easily over the lyrics, tap-dancing and playfully prodding us to relax and laugh a little more. It’s not just that she’s singing the question, “Are you havin’ any fun?” she means it. By the time the last note dissipates, you may even be recalibrating your calendar to make room for some joy.
Accompanied by drummer Snorre Kirk, pianist Magnus Hjorth, and bassist Lasse Mørck, the result is simply a joy. The trio is not just backing Mørck up but grooving with her, lending the track a ripe, organic swing nostalgic and fresh with life. An effortless chemistry between them makes the song feel like an impromptu jam among friends who know how to live.
This release is honest. It doesn’t make an effort to be cool or clever. Instead, it sends a giddy but serious message with ease and appeal: Fun is not frivolous and necessary. Yet jazz, with its spontaneity and soul, is an ideal medium for that message.
Her forthcoming album, “Are You Havin’ Any Fun?” sets a tone for what’s to follow: music that uplifts, connects, and invites listeners to take life a little less seriously. In a world that so frequently demands productivity and perfection, Mørck’s recent release provides a musical wink and a gentle nudge to stop, play, and sing along.

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.
