    February 2026: Like Me Better: Evelyn Cormier

    Behind the Song

    Welcome back, Cruz Fam, to another Song of the Month. February was a tough one. I received hundreds of submissions and listened to many different tracks, but one song managed to edge out the rest and stand out the most: Like Me Better by Evelyn Cormier.

    From the very first listen, the vibe of this track stood out. It’s packed with infectious, upbeat energy that makes you want to get up and dance. The vocals were very well done; fun, emotional, and uniquely expressive. The songwriting is also very strong, with lyrics that flow naturally and keep you engaged in the story.

    The instrumentation is equally impressive. The guitars, bass, drums, and synths are beautifully blended together, creating a cohesive sound that takes the song to a whole new level.

    A well-deserved Song of the Month, go give it a listen, Cruz Fam.

    “I think that I like me better, when my past isn’t pulling me down.”

    January 2026: Wild: Sole

    Behind the Song

    Welcome to a new year of reviews, Cruz Fam. One song that truly captivated me this month and is more than deserving to be featured as Montecruz Music’s Song of the Month is Wild by Sole.

    Sole’s vocals are absolutely stunning, giving me chills as soon as the first chorus dropped. The piano melody is beautifully simple, yet powerful enough to carry the full emotional weight of the song.

    So much feeling packed into 2:51 of musical perfection. Wild is easily my favorite song of 2026 so far.

    “I wish I could go on. Walking on the edge, falling on my back, I got a feeling that I wouldn’t mind.”

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

    November 2025: Kiss Me: NOCHVNCE

    Behind the Song

    I first stumbled onto NOCHVNCE when they wowed me with their pop/funk gem,You. Now, this dynamic duo is back at it again with their new release, Kiss Me. Shaun Charlton’s instrumentation transports you straight into the golden age of disco, while Callum Long’s super smooth and likeable vocals reel you in and don’t let go.

    Kiss Me is a breath of fresh air, full of groove, nostalgia, and a whole lot of groundbreaking innovation. It’s no surprise that Kiss Me has danced its way through the neon lights all the way to the top of my 2025 Next Gen Vibes playlist. Break out your bell-bottoms, loosen up those hips, and come electric slide with me on this one.

    “Kiss me, like the world’s on pause tonight. Like we’re trapped in the neon lights.”

    August 2025: tension: Haiden Henderson

    Behind the Song

    Haiden Henderson’s newest track, Tension, is one that you won’t want to miss. It’s a bittersweet clash of heartbreaking lyrics and an infectious, upbeat melody. The production is excellent, blending emotional vocals with dynamic rock elements for a sound that you won’t soon forget. If this track hooks you, then the rest of the Tension album is a must-hear.

    “You’re so cold, never thought I’d have to watch you go. Best friend to a lover to a ghost.”

    Runaway – Lucas Lutter

    Release Date: 2025
    Genre: Singer-Songwriter / Folk
    Duration: 3:39
    Date of Review: June 5, 2025
    Reviewer: Rafael Montecruz

    “Warm vocals, beautiful writing, and a melody that stays with you.”

    From the very first note, Runaway pulled me in with a soft acoustic guitar and ambient echoes that worked together in harmony. I felt a sense of calm overcoming my person as I listened to this new tune. Then Lucas began to sing, and his voice hit with that rare singer-songwriter warmth, as if I were hearing a close friend open up about his life.

    The songwriting is exceptional, wrapped in a melody that’s both beautiful and intimate. I might’ve missed this hidden gem had Lucas not chosen to share it, and for that, I’m truly thankful.
