flora cash – “Cheap Flowers”

“Chronically Beautiful” is another one from indie-pop outfit flora cash. Like every song from this amazing duo made up of Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall, delicate melodies are covered in raw emotion, ensuring the listener gets to relate to the lyrics. “‘Chronically Beautiful’ was sparked when we were having a conversation about what it means to be beautiful,” says Flora Cash, “especially when looked at through the lens of real love. It’s not an acute, momentary perception; it’s the feeling that the person you love; the person that you waited your whole life for has a beauty that transcends any given moment and isn’t dependent on what they happen to be wearing or how their face looks that day or week or month; they’re chronically beautiful.“

One of my favorite feelings in life is that moment with that certain person in your life where it just seems like everything else fades away. That’s the feeling ‘u & me’ attempts to capture. A feeling we will never get enough of.”

TARYN – “Brand New”

A new song by Atlanta-based singer-songwriter TARYN saw her earnestly seek healing. Aptly named “Brand New”, the heartfelt piece is about embracing one’s past. TARYN worked with producer Joey Burcham to bring the song to life. “Brand New” is filled with echoing finger snaps, hymnal harmonies and an uplifting chant that continues throughout the track. “There was a simple message I wanted to convey lyrically and the instrumental did the rest,” TARYN explains. “I’ve carried my past around and let regrets fuel decisions without justification. ‘Brand New’ let me realize our past is not something we have to correct, but it helps us understand our growth. We’re here to learn, experience, and explore. It’s a gift to be vulnerable, to feel comfortable expressing experiences in sonically harmonious ways”
