Connie Talbot has recently released the haunting ballad “Just A Broken Heart,” featured on her four-song EP, “Growing Pains.”

“I may have a broken heart,
Yet it tirelessly persists,
Beating in the shadows,
Solely for me, myself, and I.”

As you can tell, the song carries a dark and haunting tone. All in all, it resonates like a classic ballad.

Connie Talbot gained fame as the second-place finisher in the inaugural season of Britain’s Got Talent back in 2007. Following her success on the show, she inked a deal with the Rainbow Recording Company. In her music career, she has delivered five albums, including “Over the Rainbow” (2007), “Connie Talbot’s Christmas Album” (2008), “Holiday Magic” (2009), “Beautiful World” (2012), and “Matters to Me” (2016). In an exciting development, Connie Talbot is set to assume the lead role of Ellie in the upcoming film “The Key to the West.”

illume drops the moody song ‘Diamonds, Pearls, and Green,’ which is perfect for a rainy day or simply chilling out, and it has a way of getting stuck in your head.

illume notes, “I wrote and produced “Diamonds, Pearls, and Green” in an effort to encourage listeners to embrace their human emotions and feelings instead of dismissing them. At the time that I was writing this song, I had been reflecting on the kind of person I was in relationships. I found that it was incredibly difficult for me to be vulnerable in any form of relationship because I feared that my vulnerability would come across as a weakness that would only burden others. I used to only show others either “the best of me” or “the calm and collected me” and never “the vulnerable me” in an effort to conceal what I deemed my “weak self.” However, I eventually realized that in not being vulnerable, I was depriving myself of love and genuine human connection. For this reason, I wanted to remind people that being vulnerable is not a “weakness,” and there is no need to hide behind a mask. It is not unnatural to be emotional, to want to be vulnerable, to desire human connection, or anything similar; it is only human, and there is no hiding from one’s own humanity.”

Growing up in California, illume, an Alternative/Indie Pop artist, found her passion for music by loving life and art. Her songs explore human feelings and experiences, like ego, power, hope, and love. She uses her music to show how everyone has both good and bad sides.

Look out for Stephanie Bartlett and her recent debut release One For Me. As a new artist Bartlett is building her resume and catalog of songs, but she has a broad range of musical influences ranging from Frank Sinatra to Metallica, from the soulful George Ezra to Adele,

Bartlett notes, “For me, art exists for its own sake; I have no desire to follow trends or pretend to be someone I’m not. Creating is my true passion, and I pour my heart and soul into every piece. I believe that music has the power to support people at various points in their lives – whether it’s to amplify happiness, provide solace during times of sadness, or make them feel less alone when life feels isolating. Through my music, I aspire to share this passion and connection with others.”

“My song “One For Me” holds a universal meaning that anyone can relate to. As the writer, I penned it to encapsulate those moments in life when nothing can bring you down. It serves as a reminder that it’s alright to let go, be unguarded and naive, fall in love, take risks, be passionate and live in the present without regrets.”
