Losing a loved one can bring out so many emotions that we didn’t know that we even had inside of us. On her heartfelt tribute to her mother who passed away from cancer, Lily Meola has returned with a new EP, affectionately labeled as Postcards To Heaven. Meola shared, “Since losing my mom, writing music has been a form of therapy for me. These songs stem from my grief and the everlasting longing I have to communicate with her.

Lucy Dacus Talks with The New Yorker

This spring, Dacus, who is twenty-nine, will release “Forever Is a Feeling,” her fourth solo record. It’s a gorgeous and tender album about falling in love—Dacus is now in a committed relationship with Baker—and how the tumult of that experience has forced her to reckon with the unknown. “This is bliss / This is Hell / Forever is a feeling / and I know it well,” Dacus sings on the title track.
