Written By Chloé Sautereau “I miss myself. I miss myself. I miss myself.” Don’t you? There’s something chillingly soul-gripping in the way renforshort, aka Lauren Isenberg, lets us float and ponder in between the chorus lines of her most recent single “i miss myself.” The single is the intro track to her debut album dear amelia which was released July 8th. “i miss myself” is a true letter to the self or rather to “somebody out there,” as the 20 year old singer-songwriter explains to her fans on social media.

Written By Zoe Kallenekos Some of the best art is pure escapism, something that takes us directly into the moment someplace else. With his new atmospheric dance track “Blur,” dhruv accomplishes just that. Upon first listen, one might not be able to tell how different this song is compared to dhruv’s previous efforts.

Today, we’re so excited to premiere Sophia Angeles’ latest single “The Cost Of Being Perfect,” a song that gracefully explores self-worth.

Isn’t it exhausting to constantly try to measure up to the photos we see on social media? Or even to measure up to the ideal image of yourself that you have in your mind.
