Laura Musgrave Shares New Single ‘Almost’
Laura Musgrave writes straight from the heart. She gives listeners the feeling that they’re living and breathing the emotions in the song. As if someone cracked their heart open and poured it into lyrics and melodies.
The UK-based singer-songwriter and producer has made confessional songwriting her trademark. She is an award-winning music artist who has guitar-driven compositions that combine pop-rock at its best with personal lyrics.
She returns with her brand-new single ‘Almost’, featuring a sing-along chorus with powerful lyrics about having the courage to walk away from a love that falls short, slated for release on January 12, 2024, on all streaming platforms.
Laura Musgrave wrote ‘Almost’ with fellow UK songwriter Craig Taylor. Under the direction of producer Becky Willard, the song was recorded in both the UK and the USA. The production incorporates electric guitars, drums, and keyboards in addition to her amazing voice. The track concentrates on pop-rock flavouring in its development. She gives the song a more captivating tone, influenced by pop-rock from the 2000s, elevating it.
On the song, Laura Musgrave says, “It’s about realising that the person you’re dating or in a relationship with is only half-hearted about it. Whatever the reason for that might be, they can’t give you what you want or deserve. You see clearly that it’s a one-sided situation and have the courage to walk away.”
The songstress is excited about this release, showcasing her natural ability and personal development in the music industry. While Laura Musgrave’s catalogue reflects her candid attitude, her unrivaled inventiveness enables her to easily move between pop and rock.
What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?
Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.
It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.
By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.
And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.
The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.
There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.
Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.
Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.
Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.
The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.
“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.
It just asks you to look through it.
3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
