Fionn//

Edication, creativity and drive — there are few words that better describe the artistry of sisters Alanna and Brianne, twin forces behind pop duo Fionn.

Already known for their honest lyricism and captivating storytelling, the singer/songwriters are getting ready to take things in an even more diverse direction; encapsulating everything from sugary sweet sounds to moodier melodies.

While remaining true to themselves, Fionn’s current vibe embraces a more playful side — a direct result of the sisters’ experiences and mindset over the past year. 

“We started writing the new record during the pandemic, and we just needed something to pick ourselves up,” said Alanna. “We wanted to write some more lighthearted, fun songs . . . the world needs some happy music right now.”

Now, while continuing down a musical path that began over a decade ago, both Alanna and Brianne maintain it’s important to keep evolving in music, as much as in their personal lives.

“We all change so much as a person . . . especially when you’re young,” said Brianne. “This past year has been such a time of growth. Evolution is just so natural, and so is wanting to try something new.”

Madisyn Gifford//

The voice is airy and arresting, the songs are affecting and enveloping, and with both, Madisyn Gifford effortlessly balances the raw emotion and curiosity of her youth with a mastery of her craft that belies said youth completely.

The 21-year-old songwriter and performer has been singing as long as she’s been talking, but even that can’t fully account for the transcendent quality showcased on her new release on 604 Records. Musically and lyrically, it’s a captivating and compelling union of innocence and experience that can completely enwrap its listener. And as alluring as her vivacious indie-folk sound and vocal prowess may be, Gifford is equally as adept as a lyricist, cleverly and creatively delving into the formative experiences of transitioning into her early 20s.

Sonically and thematically, Madisyn’s upcoming EP is an impressive foundation for a gifted artist coming into her own.
