Anyway, onto this week’s Songs You Should Hear…
Hear What You Should
Well folks, as though they hadn’t already done it several times over by now, TopHouse has arrived.
Their new EP, Campfire Stories, is a collection that will make you think, make you feel, and make you want to tap your toes and slap that tambo in the great outdoors with all your chosen family. It’s such an inspiring collection of songs that I needed to know more. So, while they picked their strings, I picked their brains.
READ THE INTERVIEW & HEAR THE EP
TopHouse’s quick rise in social media popularity has launched the Nashville-based folk-pop band into virality. And, once you hear their music, you’ll understand exactly why.
Their new single, “Number One,” showcases lyrical depth that honors the complex, yet familiar arrangement and melody that carry those lyrics directly into your soul.

Love and loss are addressed in this week’s edition of Songs You Should Hear.
We begin with a tender, beautiful reminder of the legacies we carry with us as we pursue our passions. Then, things take a hard left turn into the land of toxic relationship dynamics, addressed expertly by a couple of Nashville’s emerging pop artists.
Hear What You Should
It’s a high-powered, rock-heavy start to this week’s UMC20 playlist. That’s where it starts, but it’s not where it ends up.
You’ll notice different moods and genres gradually peppering their way in as you progress through this week’s 20-track volume. And, for all of the frenetic energy that starts things off, by the end of the ride, you’ll be vibing on a completely different wavelength.

There are countless ways to express and feel love. 17-year-old songwriter Jackie Therrien took that notion as a challenge.
Hear ‘April’
This time last year, we were all dreaming of the day that the COVID-19 pandemic would be behind us.
As “someday” approaches, we look back on the early days of quarantine, where our hope for the future propelled us forward.
Hear ‘Going My Way’
Last week, we gave you a Daily Spinn of “Beautiful That Way,” the most recent single from Lora Kelley‘s forthcoming album, Domystique. The single challenges modern beauty standards, and offers the Charlottesville, VA-based songwriter a chance to step into her own and embrace herself fully.
Now, “Beautiful That Way” has some visuals — and we have an exclusive first look for you!
Watch the Premiere
