Rayhan gets brutally honest in new single “Cold”
Rayhan’s new single “Cold” is a confession. It’s the voice note that you send and almost instantly regret. It’s a picture of youth at its most outstanding and authentic. This track flings open the doors to a messy, wild inner world where heartbreak, addiction, friendship, sex, and regret can all be found sitting together, smoking the same cigarette. It’s a detached take from Rayhan, who downplays the emotional bruises hidden just below the surface, but they’re there. Every word is one of someone who’s lived too fast and thought too much, fleeing their own reflection in a sprint around but finally turning to face it.
It’s a mirror held up, not just to Rayhan, but to an entire generation cleaved between invincibility and collapse. “Cold” supports that line between vulnerability and swagger. It sounds like a drive through city streets you don’t belong on, the bass bumping like the heart that just won’t stop. There’s a charming sensation in its rhythm and mood, and it’s the kind of cut you’d throw on when you want to feel something, anything. There are lines here that sting with truth, small truths about dependency, disappointment, and the way we pursue love through chaos.
It’s about the contradiction of being in one’s mid-20s, of trying to feel everything and nothing at once, and to figure out a world that doesn’t stick around long enough to explain itself. “Cold” acknowledges the dark corners and the fact that sometimes we live there. It’s the sort of heartbreak music for people who are tired of pretending they’re fine. It’s love music for the emotionally overdrawn. And it’s also hopeful, not in a shiny way, but in that smaller, more subdued way, where survival itself becomes a victory.

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.
