Sophia B’s breathtaking new single “Just a Glance” blurs the line between precision and emotional truth
With her new single, “Just a Glance,” Sophia B treats us to a track that shines with polish and vulnerability. A notable accomplishment in today’s saturated pop market. “Just a Glance,” which compels the listener from its first note, takes listeners into Sophia’s private world with the kind of self-assured storytelling that belies her age. There’s a cinematic burnish to the song’s production, the latter point is unsurprising considering the cut has already been picked up for licensing consideration by an international brand. It’s evident that this is a well-considered statement from an artist who has been sharpening her voice for years.
The daughter of Filipino expat parents who lived on the Upper East Side, Sophia B was raised in a melting pot where cultural contrasts and creative opportunities collided. Her history is alive in her songwriting, infusing depth and emotional complexity into each line. But “Just a Glance” is not weighed down by heavy-handed sentimentality. Instead, it’s lifted by a feeling of aspiration and transparency, a pop track grounded in authenticity, with a chorus that clings to you like a secret you’re not certain you were right to tell. There is something magnetic about how Sophia occupies space within a song.
Whether she’s quietly unfolding a memory or working her way to a heart-pounding hook, her presence is unforced. And that’s not by accident. Sophia, who had been writing songs from a young age and had an extensive catalog of original songs to her name by the time she even threw her graduation cap, was accumulating songwriting awards and achievements that steady her singing approach with quiet confidence. “Just a Glance” might be about an encounter, but its effect lasts far beyond the last note. With this song, Sophia B proves that an artist, given the right culture and discipline, can make time disappear. This is a sign. Sophia B is here and has no looking back.

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.
