Single Review: Heistheartist – “God Is On My Mind”
So divine and silky fine, Heistheartist slows things down on the graciousness of “God Is On My Mind”. Elegant chords radiate off into the distance. Pace gets brought back to a glimmering, gorgeous realm. The arrangement keeps things pared back to the essentials. Grooves are constructed in a way reminiscent of James Blake’s futuristic R&B. Here though things have that right level of smoothness to it, with the bass rolling through in this serene way. Melodies glow over the rest of the laid-back rhythm. Best of all are his vocals that feel ideally suited for the tender atmosphere that adorns the whole thing. Kept to the simplest of elements, this is greater that the sum of its parts, allowing for a magical property to frame the sound.
Right from the beginning he wastes no time at all in setting the mood. From there the few additional elements come on into the mix. Production quality matters and honestly the amount of attention paid to the low end is admirable. Everything about it seems stuck in a deliriously happy trance. Over the course of the journey the hushed awe that stems from each element reverberates out into the distance. By the time it all comes to a great conclusion the vividness comes into focus as it all neatly fades out in a truly classic fashion.
“God Is On My Mind” shows off the vivid imagery of Heistheartist in crafting this serene, sparkling universe.

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.
