“I Wove A Garment For You” by LEVELSEVEN
“I Wove A Garment For You” is the second single of LEVELSEVEN, aka Nina Platiša. This was one of the most soothing listening experiences I’ve had. The simplicity of the electornic R&B instrumental really helps elevate Nina’s melodic voice.
LEVELSEVEN has woven and intimate atmosphere around each of her songs by combining her Balkan roots, classical piano training, and love for Nina Simone.
The artist says this about the inspiration behind the song,
“I thought about how the act of creating something for someone is in some small way an act of devotion. For several years I have woven textiles on a wooden loom. Once woven and washed, the threads of fabric unite to become one garment.
“‘I Wove A Garment For You’ is the song of a weaver who has woven a garment for someone she loves. The garment is the embodiment of the weaver’s care and commitment. She sings to the wearer: ‘and if you outgrew, I’d measure, I’d measure’, pledging to adjust the garment as they grow together, never apart.”
“Dreamer” by Foxy Shazam
Foxy Shazam have just released their incredible catchy album titled Burn. “Dreamer”, the second track on the LP, is reminiscent of Queen’s earlier works. The infectious rhythm and overall positive vibe of the entire album make it the perfect addition to your vinyl collection.
Frontman Eric Nally says this about the creation of Burn, “I will stand for 2020 and say I made moves during this time. It is hard, but we do it anyway. It might not be what you expect but, with Foxy, isn’t that what you expect?”

“Hot Glue Gun” by Lesibu Grand
“In the song, the hot glue gun is a symbol of the DIY ethic and a reminder that we, as members of a democracy, already have the tools we need to fix our government — activism, community engagement, and of course, the vote! On another level, the hot glue gun is commonly used in cosplay culture to build costumes.”
“Hot Glue Gun” is Lesibu Grand’s response to the United State’s government’s lack of action on the events that have taken place in the country. A follow-up to their song “We Fucking Suck (WFS)” released two months ago, this track centers around the idea that if we the people work together we can make a difference.
“In the right hands it transforms people into their favorite characters and reclaims popular culture for those once marginalized. Symbolically, the hot glue gun is the tool we need for political and social rebirth.”

“Citrus” by Outline
The old record player effect placed in the first 20 seconds of the track are the perfect introduction to the track. It’s puts you in a relaxed mindset allowing you to fully take in this stunning production. As the song progresses, there are multiple seamless instrumental additions that heighten the audience’s overall listening experience.
“The production made it super bubbly but also smooth and jazzy. Citrus fruits are both sweet and sour, representing the key elements of balance and contrast in a relationship.”
“Harry / New Song” by Loveseat Pete
This is the second single by the New Jersey trio. Starting with a soft-rock feel that instantly transitions to a grunge/garage-rock banger, this song is sure to keep you on your toes. The band had this to say about their creation:
“Loveseat Pete never started as a ‘three best friends’ situation, but we knew of each other’s existence prior to and we’ve gotten closer since. All in all, we are proud of the way we’re presenting the music we make and we also feel we have gained the mental clarity to present exactly what we want. We are beyond excited to continue making music together and have big plans for the future including another single or two and an album.”

“Sensitive” by Serena Isioma
This song immediately caught my ear. Serena’s soft and slightly raspy voice pulls you in to their world. Accompanied by the carefree video with the artist and their friends enjoying their life, both remind us to live life to the fullest.
