Laura Meets Musicians

Aryel Moon Picture this: an Italian songwriter recently relocated to Ireland is walking on the Irish coast north of Dublin on a cold, grey day. It's a time of great struggle for her. A deep pain and a little memorial unexpectedly encountered on the way, awaken the most profound realisation about life and grief, and the beauty of finding the purest of love: the song "Bluebell" is born!

(If you're reading this post on another date you're missing something lol!) So, can you spot an interesting hint in the title of Kalden Berg's new song "2-5"? Yes, it refers to the release date - both month/day and year - and the coincidences don't end there because Kalden wrote this song the day after his 25th birthday! This is so much fun and I love this kind of easter eggs. But who is Kalden Berg and how all these coincidences are linked to his new single? I'm answering to your questions right away!
