Josephine has released a new EP titled ‘Lost‘? The EP consists of six tracks with a total run time of 15 minutes. It takes listeners on a 15-minute journey of mellow, dreamy production, exploring an intimate journey of love, growth, and meaningful relationships amidst struggle. This EP is all about the songs, no gimmicks. The fact that the artist can still take the time to immerse themselves in art and writing in a digitally distracting world is truly amazing.
The EP narrates the journey of finding love, starting from being a lonely LA transplant to dreaming of a future with her partner in the south of France. In the song “Parking Tickets,” Josephine struggles with self-love, while “Time or Whatever” explores the fleeting and transactional nature of meeting people in the era of dating apps – “lost?” serves as a reminder that emotional experiences often lead to insights, something that resonates with us all on a personal level.
“This EP is a collage of diary entries from my first year living in LA. Getting lost in a sea of parking tickets, losing track of old friends, then getting lost in new loves and daydreams about the future. It’s about feeling lost until those moments when I realize I can just turn the gps off.. and then I’m just here.” – Josephine
Natalie Gish drops the new song She’s Going Places, the first release off her forthcoming EP. The new mid-tempo track blends elements of pop, electro, and funk, creating a dynamic fusion of genres.
Gish says, “She’s Going Places was inspired by a poster on my wall with a map of the world. This song tells my story of leaving my hometown to live out my big dreams. While leaving my family and friends was hard, I knew it was important for me to step out of my comfort zone with confidence. It is a reminder to those with stars in their eyes to not hold back and accomplish their goals.
The Nashville based artist released her debut EP in 2021. She cites Ella Fitzgerald, Etta James, and Billie Eilish as influences. The EP, which spans just 13 minutes, consists of four tracks: “Say Goodbye,” “Just Strangers,” “The End of Something Good,” and “Where I Was Before.”
Following the release of her debut EP, Natalie quickly garnered support from Pop Wrapped, CelebMix, Music-News, and Skope Mag.
Brooklyn based singer-songwriter Pamela Laws releases the rootsy Holes In My Shoes. Fans of rock, folk, pop, and country will enjoy it, and the song could find a home on Spotify’s Country Mix Playlist.
Laws says, “When I wrote Holes in My Shoes I got to step in the “shoes” of a man looking back at his life. Accepting the moments he failed to follow his instincts and the reconciling of the consequences of the conflicting yearnings… Fate, Luck and Love are all at play n the roulette wheel of his life. When you deny your instincts it’s rare that these things line up to help your dreams come true. There’s a release of regret and a flying that occurs when he finally gets to a place of acceptance!! A guy reconciling the ups and downs of his humanity!! And he’s finally free!”
Pamela Laws teamed up with long-time collaborator, Jack Petruzzelli (Patti Smith, Rufus Wainwright, Joan Osborne), Levon Helm recording engineer, Justin Guip and co-writer Adam Bernstein. Pamela has crafted a trove of new songs that transcend her rock, pop, and country influences. With the infusion of Pamela’s Texan and Californian Americana roots, Petruzzelli’s dynamic orchestral guitar work, and guest appearances by musicians like Larry Campbell and Cindy Cashdollar (known for their work with Bob Dylan), these songs could work in a club and on road trips.
Before signing with Warner Brothers and Warner Chappell, Pamela sang background vocals for Counting Crows. After 2 major label releases, Pamela had a role in a WB film called Mad City, played a folk singer and sang the theme song written by Lou Reed called “Is Anybody Listening?”
Having already released four studio albums, Pamela Laws once again graces the stage with the highly anticipated release of her brand new album, “The Ones I Love.” Today marks the official launch, featuring the single “Holes In My Shoes”.

She says, “I hold this song close to my heart as it talks about my personal struggles with mental health. I love this song so much and am so grateful for Arther Blue for writing and producing it with me!”
