St. Louis Missouri-based chill electronic artist Ryan Noble aka RN has released his debut album "Blurred Reality". The fourth track "Stick By You" is a lovely reassurance to a partner that no matter what, he's sticking by their side. As the chorus lyrics say: "You don't have to worry baby, even through all you're facing, I will stick by you". The track has a warm, gentle sound and a really cool eastern instrumental lead in the chorus.

In November last year Brisbane-based singer/songwriter Graham the Grand released his debut album "I Don't Know Why I Feel the Way I Do", a deeply personal outpouring of his innermost feelings and struggles. The last track "Go" talks of a lover suspected of unfaithfulness and the lyrics cut straight through to the most painful parts of that situation. Though only a short track of 2 minutes, it pulls a lot of emotional weight, with Grand's intimate vocals sitting starkly above acoustic guitar and soft production. You can stream/download the album on all major outlets and you can also download it free here.

Toronto-based recording artist and songwriter Mackenta has released a fantastic new R&B track called "Hypersensitive" featuring her gorgeous, honest vocals over experimental electronic production. The track has a soundscape that twinkles like diamonds, an expertly crafted build towards the chorus, and striking lyrics like: "I'm a sapiosexual, emotionally intelligent, rough around the edges 'cause inside I'm pretty delicate, I know how I feel, that's why I'm so intense with it, had to keep it real, I must be hypersensitive." If you're wondering what a sapiosexual is, it's someone who finds intelligence sexually attractive or arousing. Mackenta wrote of the track: "I can't be superficial in my relationships. If you want to get close to me, you have to be willing to be vulnerable."

Canadian singer/songwriter Don Brownrigg has released a heartfelt folk ballad called "Bad Timing" from his forthcoming album "Fireworks" about the struggles of love, set to be released February 22nd. He will be touring in support of the album soon after with upcoming dates booked in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon, Toronto and Ottawa - more info on his website. His vocals on Bad Timing are richly textured and layered over rhythmic guitar work and beautiful violins.
Brownrigg wrote: "Bad Timing is an empathetic view on not being available to someone but understanding what they need and want from you. Rarely do timing and feelings align perfectly - for me, at least. It is a song on the album about me having to back away and reject someone where several others are about me having unrequited love."
