“Right Now” by Louise Goffin drops a soulful anthem for an uncertain moment
Louise Goffin exemplifies the enduring legacy of legendary coming from the Goffin lineage, which is renowned for its capacity to express profound emotion with simplicity at the core of this new single, “Right Now.” A heartfelt anthemic reflection on creativity characterizes it and resonates with the urgency of living in the moment. From the outset, it becomes evident that Goffin’s craftsmanship is exceptional. She layers an ear-pleasing arrangement with a sonic richness that builds multi-instrumental expertise with an intimate and relatable lyricism. The track seamlessly combines smooth rhythms and subtle surprises, an unmistakable reflection of her seasoned artistry.
Co-written with songwriter Maia Sharp, refined through the mixing expertise of her son, Elijah M. Wells, and mastered by Dale Becker, “Right Now” sharply focuses on Goffin’s familial legacy. The clever phrasing and timeless poetic lyrical elegance echo her father, Gerry Goffin. However, Louise’s voice, literally and metaphorically, is entirely her own, exhibiting an unwavering resilience that has grown stronger over the years.
This release marks the start of a series of upcoming singles Goffin plans to drop, and if “Right Now” is any indication, there’s much more brilliance to come. The song effectively conveys a sentiment akin to navigating the upheavals of recent events, emerging from a period of isolation induced by the pandemic to underscore the value of being present. The melody skillfully sways between nostalgia and immediacy, drawing the audience into a refreshing ode to seizing the moment while nudging them to hold onto the present.
“Right Now” solidifies Goffin’s evolution as an artist, demonstrating that her sound transcends transient trends while staying fresh and meaningful. The single creates a thoughtful space that emanates clarity and serves as a gentle reminder of what holds the utmost significance: the present.

“Subterranean Homesick Blues” finds a new direction through Ghost of Panama
Rearranging a song that carries six decades of cultural weight is a creative challenge, but Ghost of Panama approaches “Subterranean Homesick Blues” with clear purpose. The rock band radically reworks Bob Dylan’s counter-culture hit, reshaping its identity while keeping its rebellious spirit. It’s a tribute to musical heritage and a statement of artistic independence all in one.
This new interpretation is very much shaped by the production, made at Ghost of Panama’s home studio in West London. The setting allows an intimate approach to reinterpreting a familiar song and lets the group engage directly with the material, taking it in a new artistic direction.
“Subterranean Homesick Blues” centers on the tension between conservation and transformation. Ghost of Panama is true to the song’s rebellious spirit without adding to its legacy, and this approach gives the release an adventurous feel, grounded in countercultural energy but driven by a desire to see what the composition can become in a different musical context.
Their version of this 60-year-old classic shows that respecting a song’s history can also mean breaking the rules and finding new ways to express its spirit. Fundamentally, “Subterranean Homesick Blues” presents Ghost of Panama as artists who want to engage with the past without being tied to it. The release’s strongest identity is a familiar heritage reimagined through a singularly forward-looking creative vision.

“NO MORE” by Amanda Holley connects healing, awakening, and survival
“NO MORE“ carries that kind of emotional weight, and some songs feel like they come from lived experience but reach for something bigger. Amanda Holley blends R&B and soul, turning a lifetime of survival into a vision of healing, awakening, and the determination to move beyond what caused the pain.
“NO MORE“ is a healing anthem for people who have gone through bad experiences and reached a place of higher awareness, but it’s also an emotionally charged protest. The duality is introspective and outward-looking at the same time, turning personal survival into a broader declaration that some experiences, conditions, or cycles should end.
Holley had a premonition of the song six months before the world went into global shutdown. In the vocal booth, working out melodies with her collaborators, she pictured people in the streets. Those images were hard to imagine at the time, but subsequent events would make them painfully familiar.
“NO MORE“ is given a particularly contemplative underpinning by the context. The identity of R&B and soul leaves room for emotion. The song’s themes link survival, awakening, resistance, and the need for change. Amanda Holley is an artist using music to process personal endurance and a broader sense of social awakening. It’s got a complicated significance, and its release feels like a glimpse of a moment when personal intuition and public reality collided in an unexpected way.
