pearla, “forgive yourself” + “pumpkin”

Yesterday, Brooklyn-based musician Pearla released two refreshing new tracks, “Forgive Yourself” and “Pumpkin”. The former vocalizes the need to allow yourself some space to acknowledge that you are not perfect, and that that’s OK. Explains Pearla, “I wrote ‘Forgive Yourself’ while sitting in my backyard, trying to meditate but failing because a bee kept flying around my face. I got frustrated with myself that I couldn’t stop reacting to the bee. This song is about all of those little knee-jerk reactions. It’s about accepting them, and not faulting yourself for simply… being human.” The release of this song is integral to this month’s theme of mental health awareness.

Before we even push play on “Pumpkin”, we’re smiling at the perfect timing of the release of that single as well. (Anyone else craving it?) The sound is perfectly autumn, Pearla’s lyrics painting a picture of the perfect setting during this time of year, her vocals wrapping their listener in warmth.

Both songs are sonic dreams. Check them out below, and be sure to add them to your fall soundtrack!

Keep up with Pearla here.

Dana Lynn Hobson and Daniel Wolf of Dana and the Wolf have dropped a brand new track, “Got Me Poly”. A polyamorous couple of over a decade, they have recently started working as musical partners as well, testing boundaries and in this single, share their thoughts on polyamory. Daniel was a classically trained musician, and Dana has much different musical taste than him, so their project together is very much a melding of their styles. Says Dana of the track: “As open minded as people seem these days, there’s still so much prejudice towards people with multiple lovers. I don’t want it to sound like I’ll f*** anyone. I have a big heart. I don’t see the benefit in closing it off to certain people I meet in my life.” A thoroughly modern single, “Got Me Poly” provides Dana and Daniel’s opinions on their romantic lifestyle, poking fun at monogamy and traditionalism. Laced with tenacious instrumentals, unapologetic lyrics, and sultry vocals, Dana and the Wolf brings something new to the table with this track. Their previous singles “Attitude” and “Him” have been making waves as well.
