Son Stone serves soul and memories in new single “Old Fashioned”
Son Stone’s new single, “Old Fashioned,” is a smooth sip of memories mixed in a soulful groove, a song that sounds like it’s been in your life forever yet lands with the freshness of the never-before. In this recording, Son Stone achieves a blend of traditional and contemporary music that fits just perfectly. “Old Fashioned” beckons listeners into a room where memories swirl like ice in a lowball glass. The backing instrumentation is lush and natural, a rhythm section that throbs with subtle confidence.
“Old Fashioned” impresses with its clever literal manipulations on the drink’s name and phenomenological dives into the depths of connection, longing and the kind of love that stays with you like an old favorite record. The words are not quite sad but affectionate for something that’s gone as an image dimmed around the edges. What’s unique about “Old Fashioned” is the ease with which it occupies two worlds. It could slot in comfortably next to soul classics without missing a beat, but there’s something undeniably contemporary about the production, the emotional clarity.
Stone’s “Old Fashioned” delivers an equally good performance. His vocal delivery is lived-in and earnest-sounding, he’s someone recounting a story they know by heart. There are no vocal acrobatics here, it’s about tone, control and emotion. In “Old Fashioned,” Son Stone offers a pocket of time. It’s listening to memories without regret, a way of letting the past breathe in the present. Whether you’re sipping a drink or contemplating just your thoughts, this is a track to spin again.

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.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
