Blue by Space Memory Effect feels like a quiet conversation with memory itself, unfolding slowly and honestly alongside its lyrics. From the opening lines, “My eyes cast blue, my mind casts blue,” the song establishes its emotional color palette. Blue is not just a feeling here, it is a lens through which everything is seen. Amy Wallace uses repetition to mirror the way thoughts loop when something unresolved sits heavy in the chest. Musically, the track is understated but deeply intentional. The keys provide a reflective base, while guitars and subtle layers move in and out like passing thoughts. Nothing…

Some songs live forever not because they are replayed endlessly, but because they continue to be reinterpreted through new emotional lenses.

Toronto-based singer-songwriter Katie Dauson is back with her latest release, ‘Get Ready’, a punchy, feel-good rock and roll track powered by blues and rockabilly influences. Known for her genre-blurring sound, Dauson effortlessly blends rock and roll, surf rock, rockabilly, folk, and bluegrass—creating music that feels timeless while remaining unmistakably her own. “I was listening to a lot of ’70s rock and roll and rockabilly when I wrote this song,” Dauson explains. “At first, there was no harmonica, but after hearing Bob Seger’s Katmandu and those iconic harmonica solos, I knew I had to add them—and play them myself.” The result…
