Woman on the Moon, an album by Giulia Millanta. Twelve very personal, intimate songs that float the listener through a journey of, separation, love, loss, sanity and madness, mistakes and redemption.

In the Kitchen, single by Reneé Rapp. With lines like “100 square feet of bitter memories,” this song fills you with the feeling and sadness of a love gone bad and then just gone.
