Francis On My Mind is back with a brand new single ‘This Is My Time’, released via Universal Music Romania.

“This Is My Time” is very special to me, a song I’ve recently written while I was in Tallin. I wrote every verse crying and longing for childhood, until I realized that it’s ok to be a child at any age, I just needed to learn how to embrace my inner child.”

The indie-pop singer-songwriter merges pop melodies with ’80s influences and a hint of electronic. After her debut single, “On My Mind,”, Francis continued with “Never Be The Same.”

She dropped her third single, “Summer,” and in 2021, she kicked off the year with a cover of Dua Lipa’s popular hit, “Don’t Start Now,”.

“I create my own universe through my music. I let myself often slip into melancholy. Melancholy opens a gate to marvelous lands where your imagination can build everything you desire. Like Alice in Wonderland, for me, melancholy is the door to the realm where everything is possible, and no rules apply. And in that realm I get to create my songs, my music”.

Ella’s new single

Speaking on the release, Ella states: ‘This first single from my upcoming EP is about a very relatable, widely dealt with topic: living with anxiety. What makes this song different than all the other songs about mental health out there is that it’s written in a fun, quirky and upbeat kind of way – I mention my to do list of things I try to get through in order get rid of anxiety in the chorus before ultimately coming to the conclusion that anxiety is best handled by letting things go instead of adding things onto your plate. Anxiety is normal and instead of fighting it to go away it is much more manageable when accepted and embraced.’

Los Angeles-based KAYLS aka Kayla Stewart shines as she releases her new single, “Hatch.” This song is a unique and refreshing blend of electronic and indie rock, making it one of the better songs out there now.

Her first song, “On The Rocks!”, got a lot of love from Apple Music, Ones To Watch, Flaunt, and Wonderland Magazine. After that, she released “Internet,” a touching slow song that landed her this interview with Galore Mag.

In “Hatch,” KAYLS quickly sets the stage and makes her point clear: ““We’ve been in the incubator too long.” The song combines modern pop with a guitar-heavy, glitchy sound that captures the sensation of breaking free and venturing into new territory.

Stewart says, “Something is seemingly safe in an incubator, it’s when that thing enters the world that it can be harmed. Hatch is a song about a love that feels so good in its safe space but it’s nearing that moment when it must meet reality. When things stay protected forever they never grow. It is with trial and tribulation that love and a connection between two can become a real lasting relationship and that’s what this song is about. Kind of like, hey let’s see if we can grow because we’re great together and there’s nothing to be afraid of. The song really brings you into that feeling.”
