For this week's Fresh Finds, we begin with Pardyalone, who has been crafting an impressive waterfall of songs, including his latest single, “Needed to Know.” On this track, Pardyalone beautifully emphasizes the notion that being in love is beautiful. This sentiment is delivered with heartfelt, emotionally charged vocals and lyricism. While it’s unclear if this marks the final installment of this collection of songs, it would serve as a fitting conclusion to the 'Chasing Shadows' EP—a project well worth a full listen.
Next up is a familiar face on this platform: Goodluck Rylie and his new single, “Say You Will.” Rylie continues to showcase remarkable consistency and versatility. In today’s era of independent artistry, where release schedules are less rigid and creativity knows no bounds, Rylie has thrived by consistently delivering engaging, high-quality music. With each new release, he seems to introduce something fresh and exciting. We want to commend Rylie on an outstanding 2024 and eagerly anticipate what the new year holds for him.
Closing out this week's Fresh Finds is John Michael Howell with his deeply touching track, “Love Me Like My Mama.” This poignant song delves into the longing for meaningful companionship and an authentic connection with a loved one. From Howell’s perspective, his relationship with his mother serves as a powerful blueprint in his pursuit of love.
