Olivier Emerges As Pop Artist With Debut Single “War”
NYC-Born artist Olivier Releases a Debut Single “War”
Stepping onto the scene for the first time with his own original music, Olivier has released his debut single “War” alongside a captivating music video. Establishing himself as an emerging pop artist, Olivier showcases his delicate piano stylings and powerfully vulnerable vocals that have captured the attention of over 12K fans across social media platforms. “War” is about fighting a war, not with others, but with yourself. “With many people putting up fake smiles to get through the day, it’s important to remember that everybody goes through some type of struggle whether they show it or not. You are not alone in your fight,” says Olivier.
In the single, Olivier is admitting that he’s not sure if he’s strong enough to win the battle within himself. Acknowledging the uncertainty that comes with the struggles and personal battles that everyone fights, “War” reveals the loneliness and feelings of isolation while dealing with inner demons. “Sometimes you don’t know if you’re strong enough to fight these battles, and in this song, I am saying exactly that. I’m being real and telling myself that I don’t know if I’m strong enough to win this battle with myself,” says the singer-songwriter. The music video further explores this theme as it brings a visual representation of the frustration of feeling helpless and the need to release that emotion before you lose control over it. Showing Olivier releasing his anxiety and fears in a room where he smashes things to let out his anger, the viewer is drawn to the emotional poignancy of Olivier’s vulnerability in submitting to his emotions alone. “Sometimes it’s good to be real with yourself and tell yourself that the battle you’re fighting may be too tough to fight alone. This is the point when it’s crucial to reach out to people around you.”

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.
