LITM Singer Songwriter Picks every week brings you the best in the singer-songwriter space. This week, we have Emma Forgette and more!
Emma Forgette - “Somebody’s Somebody”
In the world of country music, Emma Forgette stands out with her bold and authentic voice. Born in New Jersey but rooted in Ocala, Florida, this 19-year-old is making waves in the contemporary country scene. On her latest single, “Somebody’s Somebody”, she brings her gentle, picked acoustic guitars and pianos to create a narrative, and weave a story that strikes deep emotion in the listener— from start to finish. Written by Jan Buckingham, Kelly Carvin Walls and Troy Walls, and performed by Emma, her voice seamlessly glides along registers both high and low, and her sense of melody is what elevates this track elegantly, and finishes it off in style. Check out the track here!
Laura Glyda - “This Heart Is A Machine”
Laura Glyda, a veteran storyteller and songwriter from Chicago, blends folk, rock, and Americana in her powerful music, sharing stages with renowned artists and capturing life's struggles and beauty in her new track, "This Heart is a Machine” — forming the title track of the album of the same name, this song is a wistful journey through melancholic themes, as Laura urges the listener to move on, and be sufficient with themselves; and her lyrics strike a deep chord. Couple this with the soft drums and the rest of the ensemble, and you have a listen that, above all, brings you comfort, and something to look up to — take a listen to the track here!
The Long Lost Somethins - “Soak Up The Sun”
The Long Lost Somethins are a four-piece indie rock band from Huntington, WV, who encapsulates the joy, friendship, and pain of being alive, with songs ranging from introspective ballads to their latest track, a celebratory cover of Sheryl Crow's "Soak Up The Sun." Forming part of their EP, “Farm”, they successfully bring in their harder edged rock sound to the fore, the creamy, distorted guitars coming together quite handsomely on this number. The production follows a nice cadence, and the execution sounds polished and steers clear of haste; wrap this up with a precise, balanced mix and master, and you have an enjoyable listen.
