A Stripped-Down, Soulful Rendition Produced by Michael Shanks, Part of the Upcoming Acoustic Me Album

Singer-songwriter Mark Winters released a heartfelt acoustic version of his song Leaning, featuring duet partner Roxé and produced by Michael Shanks. This intimate rendition captures the magic of their live performance sound, offering a raw and genuine take on a song that celebrates the simple yet profound human instinct to embrace life’s best moments.

Whether it’s the warmth of a grandmother’s hug, the electricity of a perfect kiss, or the comfort of leaning into love, Leaning reminds us that we are biologically wired to seek connection and joy. Science backs it up—when we fully embrace positive experiences, our brains release oxytocin, the “love hormone,” reinforcing feelings of trust, happiness, and belonging.

“The inspiration for Leaning came from those moments that just feel right—when you let go and allow yourself to embrace happiness,” says Winters. “This acoustic version captures the raw emotion Roxé and I bring to our live performances, and I can’t wait for listeners to experience it.”
This release is the second single from Acoustic Me, an eight-song album that showcases Winters’ stripped-down, organic sound. The first single, Signal (Acoustic Me) featuring Roxé, debuted on February 7, 2025, setting the stage for the full album’s release.

Two years ago, Naomi Aguilera walked onto my radar with EGO, an infectious soulful pop debut that made it impossible not to move. Fast forward to her debut EP Mosaïques, and it was clear she wasn’t just passing through. Personal, colorful, rooted in her Spanish heritage & Brussels upbringing, it even earned her a spot as Apple Music Benelux’s Up Next artist!

Now she’s back with BB ILY, marking the start of a new era. The bilingual single — French and English — is built around one of the most universal human experiences: that special connection that doesn’t need translation. Where EGO invited you to forget your ex on the dancefloor, BB ILY pulls you somewhere more intimate: with sultry beats courtesy of Turana, it’s a dance where gestures, whispers, sighs and the sound of a voice matters more than the words that come out of it… It’s sensual, a little mystical, and entirely her own.

First taste of Naomi Aguilera’s upcoming project Ojalá, due in 2027, it feels effortlessly catchy. This is the kind of track that casts its spell quietly, with interesting and unexpected rhythmic shifts in the verses, and a delicious chorus that lodges itself in your head before you even notice. By the time you do, it’s too late. But you won’t find me complaining about it!
