Barrie is new on me as well, but I've just enjoyed 'Tal Uno' and will now try her other stuff. Good luck with your music writing aspirations, this is an engaging piece.
I particularly liked your, "certain music has a knack for entering my life at just the right time," comment. I agree it often seems that way. The latest chapter of my music themed novel https://challenge69.substack.com has a whole section on how the brain (through a set of neurons called the amygdala) processes music, and the emotions that come with it, and then talks about how certain songs can still take me (a long way!) back to a first love.
Anyway, I'm off now to check out your Substack, it sounds right up my street.
That song is as sweet and gorgeous as your words. And isn’t the French language a just another beautiful type of music after all? A spoken lyric melody?
Great Collab Nikhil! I discovered Mathilda's newsletter through this post and it's a pretty nice space.
Mathilda's a very talented writer and I'm glad she accepted my offer to write for our audience! Glad to send more readers her way!
How have you been, Billy?
I'm doing well. Thanks😊

"...so I did what any dirtbag nineteen-year-old would do: invited the boy I liked to sit in their living room with me and listened to music. "
Everything is ephemeral, but it's good to know somethings never change. :)
Barrie's a new artist for me, and I'm excited to check them out!
