Relationships are rarely easy sailing. Storms will come, and the waves will crash violently agains the hull. Those aboard are then faced with a choice: to jump ship or endure for the long sea-bound haul ahead. Just as quickly, the clouds inevitably roll away to reveal baby blue sky as serene and calm as the watery depths below. Rachel Plating, known professionally as Van Plating, forges a story of two lovers nearly pulled undertow from the storm’s clutches. With her song and video “Too Late,” premiering today, she wades neck-deep into the raging sea herself to properly contextualize the push and pull. “So, tell me what’s wrong / Maybe I’ll get it right this time,” she observes, gazing out of the eyes of one lover to another.
Here’s an epic gospel-hued song from Nashville’s Michelle Brooke. She has a huge and soulful voice and this is is a huge and soulful song. It’s her new single and available now.
With their critically acclaimed 2017 release, Shanti’s Shadow, Phoebe Hunt & The Gatherers revealed an intimate inner journey through meditation and musical exploration. Neither One of Us Is Wrong takes up where Shanti’s Shadow left off, soaring from personal introspection to a third eye colored reflection on our larger culture and the deepening polarity of the time we live in. With this release, Hunt adds an ambitious layer to her expression by expanding creatively into the realm of visual art, releasing a music video for each song on the album.
