These LITM Singer-Songwriter Picks are deep and reflective, featuring Trail Hawk, Les Gillion & The Agents Of Karma, and Ryan Page!
1. Trail Hawk – The Place Called No Way Out
The Place Called No Way Out opens with a solemn guitar and strings section, establishing a mood of melancholy and introspection from its first moments. Trail Hawk delivers the whole track with complete authenticity and no filter – you can hear the pain and heartbreak bursting out of his raw vocals. It’s the kind of song that heals you through catharsis, emphasising that the best way to feel your emotions is to let them out. With vocals and instrumentals that wrap around each other, creating a distinctly cohesive sound, The Place Called No Way Out is an emotional listen that’ll surely leave an impact.
2. Les Gillon & The Agents Of Karma – After Party Sunrise
Opening Les Gillon & The Agents of Karma’s EP, After Party Sunrise (Studio), is the track of the same name – heartwarming and soothing, like an exhale, a moment of reflection after a long, turbulent time. This is the kind of song that lands because the people behind creating it speak from a place of authenticity and experience; it’s deep and expansive, and captures fragility and vulnerability with an honesty that never feels fake or forced. At a time when so much of art seems to be created around urgency and short-lived dopamine, After Party Sunrise is a welcome breath of fresh air. Listen here!
3. Ryan Page – Nothing Helps
Ryan Page’s Nothing Helps is a track that clearly carries heavy emotional weight. Placing together delicate acoustic instrumentals and moving vocals, the track lands with the exhaustion of someone who’s been through something they’re too tired to fight anymore. “The silence grows, and the heartbreak shows in every tear / So why’d you have to go and leave me alone by myself? / No matter how hard I try to feel alright, nothing helps,” Page sings with simultaneous longing and softness; you can almost imagine him sitting in the same room, humming to himself. This is a track that’ll draw you in and keep you there for its entire duration – listen to it here.
