YAZ Captures Effortless Positivity With Debut EP ‘Letter From the Stars’

Singer-songwriter YAZ released an uplifting debut EP Letter From the Stars, perfect for a fresh summer start. The project is an easy, casual listen for fans of all genres, but it especially resonates with those looking to explore the lyrical depth. “Living with love” has been a major message that YAZ strives to consistently characterize in himself as well as his music. The lead single off the EP, “Monday,” released on May 28th and oozes emotions from a special night with friends. “We all have those memories that just give us goosebumps,” says YAZ. That night still gives him goosebumps to this day, and that experience is one that listeners can relate to far and wide.

                                             Letter From the Stars is available on all major platforms.

YAZ wrote the project during lockdown to promote growth, wellbeing, and happiness. After observing how the world began to suffer from negativity due to the pandemic’s effects, YAZ set out to use music as a relief. “Bumper Cars” focuses on mental health with a message that is deeply personal to the artist. “It was a way for me personally to remember the tools that I learned to manage my anxiety,” says YAZ. He continues the EP by floating around the idea of never feeling lost – it’s up to the individual to take control of their day and their perception of their life. The title of the EP signifies sitting on the moon within the stars to escape our wild and overwhelming world. Sitting in this place, according to YAZ, allows him to look inside himself and focus on appreciating who he is and what he has.

These songs are to let the listener know that they should embrace who they are no matter what and that if they have the energy to think negatively about themself, then they surely have the energy to do the opposite and show themself all the love in the world,” – YAZ.

Born and raised in Montreal, Canada originally from Morocco and currently residing in London, England, YAZ discovered his passion for the guitar, piano, singing, and songwriting in the last 12 months. YAZ creates music to promote happiness and wellbeing to all who listen to his music to promote happiness and wellbeing to those who listen to his music while singing from the heart. His art allows all kinds of people to relate to him and his unique vocals add an extra touch. This artist will provide you with a new and modern sound that has been inspired by the likes of The Beatles, Ed Sheeran, and The Lumineers.

Roxy Rawson Finds Light in the Shadows with “I Found a Place in the Woods”

Roxy Rawson

Music is very sacred because it can convey both pain and peace simultaneously. Roxy Rawson‘s new single, “I Found a Place in the Woods,” does just that. This haunting, ethereal masterpiece by well-known composer Jherek Bischoff is out now on November 7th. It’s an emotional landscape made up of solitude, strength, and quiet rebirth. Roxy Rawson transforms folklore into a deeply personal story about her own journey through divorce and starting anew, inspired by the fairy tale “The Three Ravens.” The song takes you to a magical place where loss and healing meet, where grief slowly gives way to hope under the cover of old trees.

Bischoff’s production is both rich and delicate. It layers Rawson’s angelic voice over haunting strings and textures that seem to breathe with life. The song has an organic stillness to it, like being in the woods after a storm, when all you can hear is the rustling of leaves and the sound of your own heartbeat. Roxy’s voice is both weak and strong, like sunlight coming through branches after a long night. Every lyric feels like it was meant to be, and every pause makes you think. It’s the sound of finding yourself again in nature’s quiet embrace, a moment of giving up that turns into a song of survival.

Rawson doesn’t just give you a melody with “I Found a Place in the Woods.” She provides a safe place for you to go. It’s the kind of song that sticks with you long after it ends, like a memory of finding peace in the middle of chaos. This song is one of Roxy Rawson’s most personal and mighty works to date. It’s perfect for fans of ethereal storytelling, cinematic folk, and emotional honesty. It reminds us that beauty can flourish even in the face of loss, and that sometimes healing begins with simply finding a quiet place to be.
