Shriya Unpacks Heartbreak, Growth, and Resilience in Her Compelling Debut EP “In a Box”

Shriya

Emerging artist Shriya has released her raw and evocative debut EP, “In a box”, an intimate and uncompromising exploration of heartbreak, mental health, and self-discovery. Written, composed, and performed entirely by Shriya, this collection of six songs is personal to her and resonates with scratches of raw emotion, making it a heartfelt listen for those dealing with their transitions. Streaming across major platforms, “In a box” is an arresting introduction to Shriya’s artistry.

Writing the songs that would later become her EP as a 16-year-old girl, Shriya combined moments of her life into raw beats and emotional solace. The opening track, “Her,” is a highlight, a cinematic ballad of heartbreak and betrayal, buttressed with the production of Yohan Marshall and the winning touch of Pedro Peixoto and Fili Filizzola. Using classical piano melodies and poignant lyrics, “Her” deepens the agony of broken trust, making it an achingly relatable anthem.

The second track on the EP, “I’m not alright,” takes the focus elsewhere, into mental health and its emphasis on solitude and resilience. Hersh Desai’s thoughtful production surrounds Shriya’s ethereal vocals and fragile harmonies, creating a soothing but forceful anthem for anyone dealing with their internal struggles.

Intended as a collection of ballads for anyone enduring heartbreak, loss, or transformation, “In a box” rises above its teenage roots to speak more broadly of self-acceptance and evolution. According to Shriya, music is her lifeline, and this feeling is evident in this release, note, and lyric.

And this is a sincere roll of the dice to connect with whoever might need comfort in sound. It is streaming now, and you can walk with Shriya on this impressive journey on her first flight.

Sofi Vonn creates cinematic intimacy with her captivating single “Selfish”

Sofi Vonn

Sofi Vonn builds on the atmospheric exploration of her second EP, “Lucky with a Side of Depression,” by immersing you in a deep blend of nighttime feelings and electro-pop. “Selfish” was made in London with up-and-coming producer Malthus, and it captures the EP’s dreamy central theme.

Vonn’s take on pop is always deep and makes you think about yourself, and “Selfish” sums up the struggle between wanting to protect your heart and wanting to be recognized. The song takes you to a softly lit world of thought without making it louder. “Selfish” derives its power from restraint rather than loud rhythms or theatrical hooks.

Sofi Vonn shows that electronic pop can be deep, soulful, and emotional while still being classy. The single fits perfectly into the EP’s emotional framework, where longing meets awareness, desire meets consequence, and beauty meets pain. It’s late-night realism wrapped in dream-pop, and Vonn seems like the perfect person to represent this mix.

“Selfish” is a voice trying to be real, both with other people and, maybe more difficult, with itself. Vonn turns complicated things into simple ones, and in “Selfish,” Sofi Vonn shows that the modern pop scene still has room for subtlety, emotional depth, and authenticity that isn’t too flashy but still makes a big difference.
