Happy Valentine’s to us! There’s some fabulous new music dropping that I know you’re all going to fall in love with!
I’m going to tell you about a couple of new releases, one from a relatively new artist, and the second from a group that’s been around for a while…
Duncan Laurence: Arcade
Who is Duncan Lawrence? Get used to hearing his name. We’re swooning over his music!
Duncan is a a Dutch singer-songwriter who won the Eurovision Song Contest competition in 2019. Since then, this once small-town boy has been traveling the globe, sharing his story and his musical talents to wild enthusiasm.
He’s recently released his first full studio album, Small Town Boy, and with it, the centerpiece single, Arcade, (the 2019 Eurovision Song Contest winner) of which this has been said: “Therein, driving percussion and rousing strings send the “small town boy in a big arcade” reeling through love lost.”
Arcade is beautiful, haunting and somewhat heartbreaking, but oh-so-relatable, because who among us hasn’t felt (at least once in our life) the exasperated sense of hopeless romance when he sings, “loving you is a losing game…”?
Listen to Arcade

Pentatonix: The Lucky Ones
Three-time Grammy® Award-winning and multi-platinum selling Pentatonix is showing us some love this Valentine’s with the release of another full-studio album, The Lucky Ones.
It’s the group’s first full-length original album since 2015, when their self-titled album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top 200 Chart.
The Lucky Ones contain 11 tracks full of the complex harmonies and infectious melodies we’ve come to expect from this group that embodies the term “unique”.
The titular single, The Lucky Ones, is a reflective testament to the power of perseverance and gratitude, as these lyrics indicate: “Look how far we've come // And it was all so unexpected // We were broke and we were young // But somehow we stayed connected."
