Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”
Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.
Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.
“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.

Grace Doty lights up the sky with new release “Sunset Colors”
Grace Doty’s newest single, “Sunset Colors,” takes listeners to golden-hour skies and quiet coastal roads from the start. Doty takes the emotional honesty of girl-pop from the late 1990s and early 2000s and gives it a softer, more modern look. “Sunset Colors” starts with a delicate mix of guitar and synth that makes the sound feel both dreamy and new.
“Sunset Colors” is about the feeling of falling in love for the first time, which happens naturally and without any effort, like the colors of a sunset sky slowly blending. Doty’s stories use this simplicity to let the feelings breathe rather than smother them.
“Sunset Colors” was made in her home studio along the Connecticut shoreline, the warm, atmospheric textures make you feel like you’re in the ocean air, and the music has a calm, quiet evening feel.
