VANNGO sets the open road ablaze with the raw spirit of Americana in “Rearview Flames”
There is a unique quality to music that evokes a desire to open vehicle windows, allow the wind to flow through one’s hair, and leave past concerns behind in the reflection of the rearview mirror. The new single, “Rearview Flames,” by VANNGO, encapsulates this sentiment perfectly. Stripped-down yet expansive, the track effortlessly combines the storytelling essence of folk with the edge of country rock, creating a soundscape that feels both intimate and wide-open.
The song opens with the plaintive wail of a harmonica and the warm strum of an acoustic guitar, immediately setting a sun-soaked, desert-road tone. “Rearview Flames” unfolds slowly, like miles stretching ahead on an endless highway, taking you on a journey that is both emotional and physical. VANNGO’s voice: honest, unpolished, and full of grit, perfectly fits this landscape, narrating a story of escape, reflection, and the thrill of moving forward.
What’s remarkable about this track is its ability to feel both timeless and immediate. The rawness of the instrumentation: simple, rootsy, and unpretentious, gives it a live, almost cinematic quality, reminiscent of a roadside jam captured at golden hour. There’s a freedom in the rhythm, a pulse that encourages you to sing along, tap the steering wheel, and let go of whatever you’re leaving behind.
“Rearview Flames” embodies a mood, serving as a mini-road trip that reminds us of the exhilaration of starting over and the beauty of open horizons. VANNGO has crafted a track that not only honors Americana traditions but also brings them into the present moment with heart, warmth, and a little bit of fire.

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.
