This week's Fresh Finds kicks off with a well-deserved spotlight on Mark Ambor and the release of his debut album, Rockwood. Spanning 12 tracks with a runtime of 30 minutes, this album is a testament to Ambor’s artistry, delivering a cohesive and impactful body of work from start to finish. Known for his popular folk style, Ambor goes beyond expectations, showcasing his growth and depth as a songwriter. In an era where many new-age artists struggle to maintain consistency after a few breakout singles on social media, Ambor stands out by crafting a thoroughly coherent project. We’re confident listeners will appreciate Rockwood in its entirety, as it exemplifies Ambor’s continued evolution and his pursuit of longevity in the industry. We highly recommend giving this album a full listen.
Next up is Henrik, whose new single "Wishing Well" offers a profound display of his songwriting prowess. Henrik’s unique ability to convey deep emotions and vivid storytelling through his lyrics is on full display here. The production of "Wishing Well" evokes a powerful emotional response, much like his previous releases, while expertly articulating the complexities of love and relationships. The song balances light and dark tones, inviting listeners into a world that feels both authentic and deeply personal.
Finally, we want to highlight Eli Wilson’s latest single, "All For You," featuring John Michael Howell. This track is a dynamic exploration of love and relationships, blending a variety of genres to create a genuinely unique sound. The song fuses folk elements with pop and even hints of pop-punk, resulting in a larger-than-life musical experience. The chemistry between Wilson and Howell is undeniable, as their collaboration elevates the track, allowing each artist to shine.
