Emerging artist Carson Cruz introduces his debut track Anything At All, a mix of pop, bedroom pop, and indie pop. Drawing inspiration from Justin Bieber, Harry Styles, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, and Benson Boone, Cruz shares a personal message of resilience:

“When I was younger, I went through situations that hurt me deeply. Even during tough times, I knew I could overcome anything life threw at me. This song is for anyone struggling—at school, at home, or in a relationship. Don’t be afraid to stand tall, leave the past behind, and move forward. Life is full of challenges, but it’s also full of victories. Keep your head high.”

Anything At All could find a home on Spotify playlists like Fresh & Chill, Bedroom Pop, Indie Pop & Chill, Pop Right Now, and Young & Free.

Singer-songwriter Charlie Ryder, known as August for Dawn, has released the ethereal, folk-driven track Methanol. Offering up a hazy, textured version of the classic singer-songwriter sound, the song weaves introspective lyrics with atmospheric melodies.

Ryder shares, “I can barely navigate the hellish vortex between breakfast and dinner, let alone the labyrinth of the hockey field,” capturing the relatable chaos of modern life in his signature poetic style.

Methanol would be a perfect fit for Spotify playlists like Indie Folk Chillout, Morning Acoustic, Deep Dark Indie, and Atmospheric Calm. Fans of artists like Ben Howard, Iron & Wine, Gregory Alan Isakov, and Novo Amor will find a familiar yet distinct charm in Ryder’s latest work.
