Amy Macdonald - Is This What You've Been Waiting For? (2025)


Is This What You’ve Been Waiting For? represents Amy Macdonald’s most introspective and purposeful album yet. She balances her signature acoustic guitar foundations with soaring choruses built for arenas, but there’s a rawer emotional edge here—songs about liberation, resilience, and self-realization. The title single hits like a punch of clarity, channeling defiance against expectations, while tracks like “We Survive” offer cinematic vulnerability and quiet strength. Her confident storytelling reveals a seasoned artist reflecting on industry pressures, toxic dynamics, and the exhilaration of live connection. The result is a refreshingly honest, warm-hearted record—comforting yet combative—that feels like the one fans have been waiting for.

Oddleaf’s debut album, Where Ideal and Denial Collide , is a fresh entry in progressive rock, combining lush, symphonic elements with retro influences from bands like Camel and Renaissance. The album, produced and recorded with exceptional attention to sonic detail, explores themes of environmentalism and human disconnection from nature, creating a rich narrative across its six tracks. Musically, the album mixes haunting flute lines, Mellotron textures, and dynamic shifts between electric and acoustic instrumentation, with standout vocals from Adeline Gurtner that are both emotive and ethereal. Tracks like “Life” and “Back in Time” balance infectious, vintage-inspired melodies with introspective lyrics, giving the album a timeless yet urgent feel. This blend of pastoral and dark themes marks Where Ideal and Denial Collide as a promising and inventive contribution to the prog scene​ The PROG Mind   Prog Rock Central   Prog Rock Central .
