Singer-songwriter Matt Zaddy shares his latest single, “Far Too Long.” Reminiscent of Zach Bryan, fans of a soulful folk-rock and modern blend will appreciate Matt Zaddy’s latest work.
The song was inspired by a moment of realization while Zaddy juggled his day job and music, working over 80 hours a week. After his brother asked about his week, Zaddy realized he had lost it to burnout. This led to the track, created with JUNO-nominated and Emmy-winning producer Ross Citrullo using a live-off-the-floor recording approach.
“I’ve always believed that music has the power to connect us. This song speaks to my own struggles with balance – between work, music, family, and friends. I think we’ve all been there at some point, and sometimes it takes hitting a wall to realize we need to make a change,” says Zaddy.
Watch out for Tuesday Madison and her debut track Mrs. Missunderstood. Recorded in Nashille, it’s a perfect indie rock track for those wanting dynamic blend of confessional songwriting, lo-fi production, and bold, irreverent lyrics – reminsence of Phoebe Bridgers , Soccer Mommy, and Clairo. Madison says, “This song shows my personal struggles with mental health and invisible pain. I hope to show people that they aren’t alone in the fight. We all can be misunderstood sometimes.
Watch out for Tori Lange and her debut track Flowers. The song is a mid-tempo track that combines alternative pop, Americana, and singer-songwriter styles. Recorded in Nashville, it has a steady rhythm and an easygoing vibe, making it a good fit for Spotify’s Good Vibes playlist.
Lange says, “It only takes a little amount of great friends and you can have a colourful life with them in it.
Inspired by Orla Gartland, James Marriott, Arthur Hill, and Jorge Rivera-Herrans, 15-year-old Lange is a rising artist with a unique perspective. Born in Bonn, Germany, Lange has lived in Wiesbaden, Memphis, and London, drawing influences from each place to shape their musical style.
Keep an eye out for Hel SamWilds and her debut track, Weekend Blues. Recorded in Nashville, TN, the song combines alternative and indie pop influences with a 90s feel.
Weekend Blues draws inspiration from artists like YUNGBLUD, NOAHFINNCE, Noah Kahan, and Gracie Abrams. The song explores the paradox of experiencing conflicting emotions simultaneously, such as feeling both happy and sad or excited and stressed. It also challenges the societal assumption that these feelings make us outsiders or misunderstood.
With its laid-back vibe, Weekend Blues is a perfect fit for Spotify’s Good Vibes and Relax and Unwind playlists. Wild explains, “I never want anyone to feel alone, so I write music I relate to, hoping others realize they’re not the only ones.”
