Ella Beyer’s “you can do better”

We all settle in relationships but we make that choice, we could also choose something better. You can do better, when you decide it’s time because You are worth it!

With the opening line "I don't want to lay in the bed that I know she has slept in." the heartbreak saga begins. Ella seeks that perfect guy who wants a steady relationship so she wrote “you can do better” a raw, emotional look at her experiences of navigating relationships as a young adult when the one she idealizes is unattainable and she doesn't want to be second. She is standing tall and telling us all we can do better.

Citing artists like Carole King, The Beatles, Ingird Michaelson, and Sara Bareilles, Beyer’s music uses smart, relatable lyrics and unforgettable hooks to explore young adult experiences with relevance to both teenagers and adults alike.

Candice Long’s “Biscuits and Gravy” is an Australian-Country song that is genuine, heartfelt and moving; it is what got our attention in 2021. recorded this song on her mom’s 1970’s road-tested and well-bruised SM58 mic in her bedroom with a blanket draped around her. No Manhattan producers or studios, just her mic, blanket and her timbre-rich voice.

Candice is a talented singer-songwriter from Brisbane, Australia. She has spent her life on the stage performing since the age of 7. Candice grew up absorbing the musical influences of her parents who were both professional entertainers. For years she performed alongside her Dad who made his living writing and performing humble Country music while her love for 70’s music and all things glitter came from watching her glamorous mother perform in Pop Motown bands. With these seemingly opposite influences, Candice is now pursuing her own legacy of original music and we are excited to hear what comes next from this beautiful soul.

Maggie Pope is a singer-songwriter who puts every ounce of her loving heartfelt emotion into her writing and performance. “Ballad of Anna Lee” is one beautiful example ❤️

The five-song EP “June Tapes”showcases original song recordings with an unusual story: armed with a small handheld recorder, and settled within the walls of a quiet closet at her home, she recorded the songs in a single night while her children slept down the hall. The resulting recordings preserve a moment in time – a record of one night from an unexpected place.

Mixed by Grammy Award-winning producer and mixing engineer, Shani Gandhi (Sarah Jarosz – Undercurrent), the songs highlight a vocal that has been described as having “a purity to it that we rarely hear” (Ear to the Ground Music). Accompanied by a softly finger- picked acoustic guitar, her voice shines. It’s folk music at it’s best – honest and raw, with an air of homespun simplicity.
