    September 2025 Featured Song: One More Time by T.Rafe

    Montecruz Music’s Featured Song of the Month

    A song lived. A story felt. A voice that stays, long after the last note. And the award goes to…drumroll please…

    September 2025: One more time: T.Rafe

    Behind the Song

    One more time has held a special place at the top of my playlist, Indie Songs You Need to Hear, for one simple reason; it’s a stunningly beautiful track. While it may not have the big-budget polish of mainstream hits, it shines in ways that matter far more. The writing is exceptional, drawing you into a lyrical journey that stays with you long after the final note. The instrumentation is equally moving, with the piano often taking center stage. The strings and guitar add a gentle warmth, while the drums provide that build-up you didn’t know you were waiting for. T. Rafe’s tender, heartfelt vocals tie it all together, closing the piece with genuine emotion. Every lyric and every piano note feels like medicine for the soul. Do yourself a favor and listen to this track today.

    “Would you stay beside me, would you say you want me, like the worlds colliding as you hold me tightly.”

    “A summer hit you won’t want to miss.”

    I Fantasise is the pop/rock hit you’ve been waiting for. It kicks off with a compelling blend of palm-muted guitars and vocals that immediately draw you in. As the drums enter, the energy builds steadily, flowing seamlessly into a catchy verse and pre-chorus that promise something big.

    And then the chorus hits, giving you that powerful and satisfying payoff. The dynamic interplay between Natalie McCool and Ellysse Mason adds emotional depth and a good texture to a mix that’s both clean and professionally produced. Overall,I Fantasise stands out as a stellar production from all involved.
