Oceanside Musician Kaije Presents New Single “You’ll Never Get Over Me”
Oceanside Musician Kaije Presents Guitar Prowess With New Single “You’ll Never Get Over Me”
Southern California singer-songwriter and guitarist Kaije released his mellow, reflective single “You’ll Never Get Over Me” on November 27, 2020. Driven by powerful guitar leads like Jimi Hendrix and Albert King, Kaije creates music for tastemakers and everyday fans alike. “You’ll Never Get Over Me” is an ode to his past relationships and the memories they hold in his mind. “I always find myself thinking about the stories, usually relationships, and often their eventual ends,” says Kaije. Blending a fresh, beat-driven sound with elements of classic blues guitar, Kaije is a dynamic and refreshing new voice in contemporary pop.
With a calm demeanour and smooth vocals, the single transports the listener into Kaije’s mind when he reflects on his past loves. The guitar is certainly the backbone of the track, guiding catchy melodies through the confidence and honesty Kaije presents in “You’ll Never Get Over Me.” The song was a breeze to write – heavily inspired by John Mayer’s Continuum and his guitar riffs and structure. “All my best songs wrote themselves,” says Kaije. “It’s usually the ones that I’m trying too hard on that don’t make the cut or kind of just sit there collecting dust.”
The single’s deeply relatable lyrics and timeless guitar ensure it will become a classic amongst some of the strongest writers and musicians today. Fans can stream “You’ll Never Get Over Me” everywhere now and stay tuned for Kaije’s upcoming sophomore album slated for September 2021.
Blending a fresh, beat-driven sound with elements of classic blues guitar, Kaije is a dynamic and refreshing new voice in contemporary pop. Born in Tucson, Arizona, and raised in Texas, Kaije’s love of music was clear from an early age. Drawn to the powerful lead guitars of iconic artists like Albert King, Jimi Hendrix and Stevie Ray Vaughn, he soon picked up his Grandfather’s old acoustic and has been playing ever since. This fuelled an obsession with music and performance, and by focusing on mastering the techniques of his heroes – Kaije quickly became a skilled player. He began playing in bands in High School, whilst writing and producing his own original music.
Kaije’s exciting musical approach has been shaped by a wealth of life experiences, including a defining period serving in the Air Force, with two life-changing tours in Iraq. Traveling the world and forming lifelong friendships inspired his creativity, bringing a new focus to his music. He began experimenting further with his songwriting and production, combining soulful guitar tones with danceable pop melodies and breezy hip-hop influences.
After leaving the Air Force, he settled in Oceanside, CA, and quickly established himself as a staple in the Southern California music scene. Drawing audiences with his mix of loop-laden, dancefloor fillers and stripped back acoustic sets, Kaije has garnered critical praise from the press including comparisons to John Mayer and Drake. His engaging performances and easy blend of styles have earned high-profile spots such as a three-night performance at the San Diego County Fair as well as featured songwriter billing at the world-famous Viper Room in LA.
As an established performer, Kaije has truly made his mark. With airplay on over 50 stations nation-wide including KEXP in Seattle and KSYM in San Antonio, as well as notable achievements including spotlights as a featured artist on San Diego’s 91x Radio Station and Kyle King’s weekly favorite on the Friday Night House Party live show. He has also been showcased on the pages of SDVoyager twice.
Going from strength to strength, Kaije is currently focusing on production for his second full-length album. The tracks capture his command of colorful, guitar-driven pop with a hip-hop flavor. The highly anticipated release is slated for September 2021.

Lana Crow turns challenges into a celebration with “Laugh With You”
“Laugh With You,” the latest single from Lana Crow, is a sincere rallying cry to embrace life in all its messy, beautiful mess. In the song, indie pop and alt-pop combine to deliver an emotional blow that feels both personal and universal.
“Laugh With You” feels like an instant connection, and Crow is telling you stories of hard times with a cozy, knowing smile. This song is as much about struggle as it is about how strong you are. It serves as a reminder that these struggles are simply what give us the strength to keep going, even when life is tough.
Crow encourages people to welcome them, create happiness in the cracks, and laugh even as the world gets heavy. The result is a song that delicately nudges you to love and embrace yourself. It is an anthem for anyone experiencing tough times who refuses to give up hope. Lana Crow continues to demonstrate her songwriting skills, both musically pleasing and emotionally rich, with “Laugh With You.”
It’s a reminder that it’s how we respond to tough times, rather than how they affect us, that’s key. With this song, not only does Crow provide us with music, but she also lets us know that sometimes a laugh is what we need to remember that there is always something to smile about and that, even when it feels like life has waged war against you, laughter can still be found.

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.
