Singer-songwriter is a genre of music that features a solo artist who writes, composes, and performs their own material, often accompanied by guitar or piano. The genre emerged in the 1960s and 1970s and has since produced many notable and influential artists such as Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, and James Taylor. Singer-songwriter music is known for its focus on personal expression and introspection, often featuring lyrics that deal with themes of love, heartbreak, and social and political issues.
The Singer-songwriter genre has produced a wide variety of subgenres like folk, country, blues, and contemporary. Artists such as Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, and Hozier are examples of contemporary singer-songwriters who have achieved great success in recent years.

“Virgin” is about spiritual devotion. Gugga Lísa takes the concept of spiritual purity and makes it feel less like a dusty religious concept and more like an actual relationship worth fighting for.

For “21grammi,” Cucé draws from real experiences, relationships that ended, moments of falling apart, and the struggle to figure out who you are after everything changes.

“Democracy” does something smart: it plants you in that dive bar, surrounded by people watching election returns on an oversized TV, and just lets the scene breathe.
