Lelinski – Me and my mind
An Inner Dialogue With Forward Motion
An argument with yourself can have its own momentum. On “Me and My Mind,” Lelinski gives that private exchange a musical frame of driving acoustic guitars, country-rock grit and alternative pop hooks. The project, based in Pesaro, Italy, centres the song on the uneasy work of facing doubts and listening to an inner voice that refuses to settle. Warm folk textures and cathartic melodies sit alongside a more restless emotional premise, leaving room for reflection without surrendering the song’s sense of movement.
Lelinski describes writing the lyrics and providing vocal and audio cues for how it should sound; AI then turned those inputs into a song. That process belongs to the release’s story alongside its subject: an attempt to give shape to thoughts that can be difficult to say aloud.
DreamGood – Paris Novella
Fortunes for the Dancefloor
The fortune-teller at the centre of DreamGood’s Paris Novella has never visited the city that supplies the character’s name. That contradiction suits an album in which invented lives carry recognisable desires, doubts and fears. Mitchell Sloan, Joshua Heath and Glenn Heath, working together since 2009, use cinematic art-pop to move between confession and performance.
“Never Been to Paris” gives its fortune-telling protagonist, a mystic, an empath and a lovable hustler, French house, Italo disco and synth-pop surroundings, while “Destiny” brings electronic production and experimental hip-hop into a scene of learning to trust life while waiting for the future to be revealed. Across 14 tracks, the trio’s fiction keeps returning to the uncertainty beneath the pose. Dancing and introspection occupy the same room; neither cancels the other out.
