“I See You” by Natalie Clark
About the song: “After watching an interview with Michelle Obama and Oprah, talking about helping people, especially young women, and kids, feel seen and heard, I felt inspired to write about it. Everyone needs reassurance every now and then, and I wrote the song to uplift and offer hope to the listener. It’s for anyone and everyone, just trying to do their best and put one foot in front of the other, despite facing obstacles, challenges, or feeling lost or down. Sometimes we need a reminder that we’re not alone and hopefully, this song can reassure people of that. ” — Natalie Clark
“Break Me” by OAD
About the song: “Motivation and Inspiring “Break Me” telling my personal story. I wrote this song during my hardest time in life. I felt broken, lost, alone, I felt that everyone that I loved and everything that I had in my life has gone. I decided to get back on my feet and never give up. I believed in myself. “nothing’s gonna break me now” Life can be beautiful and happy if you just open your eyes and look at the best side of everything. Life is short so why do we waste it on bad thoughts? ” —OAD
“Great” by Pat McCay
About the artist: Pat McCay originally made his debut on the SA music scene in 2010 as Two Minute Puzzle, playing lively and versatile performances at well-known events like Flamjangled Tea Party and White Mountain Festival. His unique style set the stage for quick success and he rode this initial wave of recognition onto the stages of big music festivals and a number one hit on a leading SA radio station.
However, it took a deep dive into the real meaning of life and a closer evaluation of self for Pat to find his true voice. Now proudly performing under his given name, Pat strives to make music that speaks to the heart. As a musician, he is charming and entertaining, with a well-developed affinity for operating in joy and vulnerability in quick succession.
