Rebecca Helen is more than just a singer-songwriter from South Africa; she's a storyteller who speaks to your soul. Coming from Cape Town, she's won hearts with her strong voice and her knack for turning personal stuff into songs everyone can feel. Think of influences from Adele to Lewis Capaldi – Rebecca can rock out pop anthems and then switch to intimate ballads that hit you right in the feels with their honesty. Her latest single, “This Place,” is a big moment for her. It’s got this airy, gentle sound, and it’s basically a sweet tribute to her dad, like a heartfelt confession turned into music. She's not afraid to be vulnerable, and that makes it powerful. The simple production lets every word, every breath, every note shine. In less than a day, “This Place” was already playing on radio stations all over, proving that real emotions can cross any border. To bring this song to life, Rebecca worked with SAMA-nominated producer Sasha Righini, who created a sound that gently matches the song's depth.

Even though they recorded it some time ago, Rebecca waited for the right moment to share it, because the most personal stories need time and guts to tell. Rebecca’s career shows she’s dedicated and loves what she does. Her two previous singles, “Patterns In The Sky” and “Lost In Your Love,” got airplay on over 40 radio stations in South Africa, the UK, the US, Canada, and Ireland. She even hit number one on KC 107.7 FM in Cape Town. From her 2019 debut album, “Musical Life,” to working with legendary songwriters like Alan Roy Scott, she’s always aimed for realness and top-notch art. Now, Rebecca Helen is making her mark as an indie voice you need to hear. She’s an artist who isn’t scared to show her soft side, turning pain into beauty and memories into music.

Her work reminds us that songs come from the heart, and when they’re honest, we all connect with them. With every new thing she does, Rebecca shares not just tunes, but a piece of her story, inspiring us to get in touch with our own feelings.

Zayith: A Sonic Rite of Connection

29 sept 2025 0:24

Few albums in the large field of electronic music are more than just a compilation of sounds; they are experienced profoundly within, not only listened to. Zayith, the great new work from Spanish artist emesh, is just one of those. From the very first sound, the album is revealed not as a straightforward song list but as a personal and engaging performance. It establishes a holy place of sound where every low note is firmly grounded and every glimmer of melody and every delicate echo reaches toward the ineffable, so producing a spiritual tension that is simultaneously disturbing and inspirational.The Hebrew word for "olive tree," "Zayith," the name of the album is not selected arbitrarily. It is the main theme of the whole project, and it represents strong symbols of everlasting life, calm, and connection with the heavens. Just as the historic olive tree stands for great strength and long life, and its oil was once used to empower monarchs and priests—thus creating a holy Just like emesh's music works, the link between the human and the divine is strong. Every rhythm and every layer of the atmosphere turns into a contemporary consecration: a process of sanctification meant to connect the listener with more profound truths. This music brings us back to our memories, to the obvious energy of the world around us, and to the subtle faith that pulses beneath the surface.Released on September 5, 2025, by the bold label Sendero Records, "Zayith" boldly exceeds the usual limits of deep techno. It's a carefully mapped adventure rather than simply dance music. Old, almost tribal rhythms reverberate inside its sound like lost songs re-adapted for the internet era. The weird, all-encompassing atmospheres are not just a way to create a certain feeling; they are also keys that open up hidden paths to big, hidden inner worlds. Under emesh's control, the sequencer, sampler, and synthesizer become sacred items that convert the divine into a language we feel in our bones, moving from music-making tools into objects of reverence.From Trillo, Spain, emesh has created a very amazing sonic world with this record. The natural sounds of the planet are effortlessly mixed with the breadth of ambient music in this world.
