Anton Commissaris – Find Me a Girl
Anton Commissaris Finds Swing In The Search For Love
Anton Commissaris has a gift for making old forms feel newly lived-in, and “Find Me a Girl” is a perfect example. The San Francisco Bay Area songwriter, pianist, and former Silicon Valley executive turns jazz swing into a sly, romantic chase, folding classic Songbook elegance into a modern voice that never loses its grin. The track moves with easy bounce, but there’s real craft underneath: a melody that reaches, lyrics that sketch desire with wit, and a payoff that lands like a bright exhale.
Commissaris has built a catalog steeped in jazz, soul, R&B, and Latin color, but his strongest instinct is still storytelling. Here, he leans into the charm of Cole Porter and the emotional directness of Sinatra and Ray Charles, while keeping the whole thing crisp and contemporary. “Find Me a Girl” doesn’t just search for love — it celebrates the rare moment when the search ends.
Tia Brittany – Don’t Talk Feelings
Tia-Brittany Turns Heartache Into Cinematic Pop On DTF
Tia-Brittany arrives with DTF, a record that feels built in widescreen: pop hooks, filmic drama, and a voice that never hides from the bruise underneath the gloss. Led by the striking single “Don’t Talk Feelings,” the album leans into emotional candor without losing its polish, balancing intimacy with the kind of sweep that suggests bigger screens and longer shadows.
What gives the project its weight is the life behind it. Tia-Brittany’s path runs through psychology, acting, opera training, and real-world resilience, including caring for her mother through breast cancer treatment. That mix of craft and lived experience folds into songs that feel considered, but never cold. With collaborators John Ho and Daniela Rivera helping shape the sound, DTF plays like a confident artistic statement — one that finds Tia-Brittany not just singing her story, but framing it with the eye of a filmmaker and the instinct of a classic storyteller.
Music by Jeremy – Scenes from a Well Worn Path – Side One
Music by Jeremy Finds Joy in the Hard Truths of Scenes from a Well Worn Path – Side One
Music by Jeremy arrives with a debut rooted in acoustic pop while drawing colour from folk, soul, post-punk, synth-pop, blues, and gospel. Scenes from a Well Worn Path – Side One opens with “Be Me,” a reflection on the exhaustion of performing a version of yourself for everyone else. Across the record, those influences remain accents rather than full stylistic shifts, with Jeremy’s songwriting providing the clearest throughline.
Working alone in Banbury, England, he handles the songwriting, acoustic guitar, fretless bass, and arrangements, while AI-assisted vocals and drums are incorporated through Ableton. The vocal model was trained on samples of his own voice, keeping the technology closely tied to the personal nature of the project. Jeremy calls the outlook “joyous realism”: songs that confront grief, identity, and human failure without surrendering curiosity or wonder.
Milyam – Lost in the Jungle
Milyam Moves Through Light and Shadow on “Lost in the Jungle”
Milyam builds “Lost in the Jungle” around atmosphere, using cinematic alt-pop and finely layered production to create a world that feels both intimate and expansive. Velveted vocals move through shifting textures, while the arrangement plays with light and shadow rather than pushing toward an obvious climax.
Working independently under Milyam Empire, Milyam brings the same sense of precision to the song’s sonic world as she does to its broader visual identity. There is polish here, but also restraint: the production leaves enough space for mystery to remain intact. “Lost in the Jungle” is most effective as an exercise in mood, balancing widescreen drama with a vocal performance that keeps the track grounded and personal.
Logan Taylor – CLIMB
Logan Taylor Holds His Ground on “CLIMB”
On “CLIMB,” Logan Taylor writes from the pressure point between outside expectations and the effort to remain recognizably yourself. Built in his Worcester bedroom studio, the track folds hip-hop foundations around piano, guitar, and tightly wound melodic phrasing, keeping the production close even as the arrangement reaches outward.
Influences like Mac Miller and Jon Bellion sit in the background, but Taylor’s focus is firmly personal. The song grew from the chaos of competing demands and the feeling of being pulled away from your own centre. “I think this song really shows what I’m about and the direction my music is going,” he says. That sense of self-definition runs through “CLIMB,” framing growth not as escape, but as the work of holding onto who you are while everything around you keeps shifting.
