There’s something awfully pure about Maggie Rose’s "For Your Consideration." It’s a few chords and some sharply-honed words. The singer/songwriter sings it with timeless flair.

Now, Rose has shown how all she needs is herself and some pealing hollow-body guitar to nail the tune to the wall.

Some performers become visibly gun-shy when a camera's on them; Techy Fatule is the opposite. She's a born singer and performer, firmly in control of her stage presence. 

It doesn't hurt to have excellent production, either: "Tu Me Quieres Más" (or, "You Love Me More") embellishes Fatule's words with a glitchy, droning soundscape that adds mystery and sophistication.

It's one thing to write a boast track: it's another thing entirely to do the opposite. 

In Zach Williams' upbeat, poignant gospel song "Less Like Me," he considers all the moments in which he could have acted Christlike. "Somebody with a hurt that I could have helped/ Somebody with a hand that I could have helped," he sings.

And in the chorus, Williams lists attributes he'd like to have, as opposed to the ones he's got: mercy, grace, kindness, goodness, love, faith, patience, peace. "A little more like Jesus," goes the kicker line summing it all up, "a little less like me."

In the latest episode of Positive Vibes Only, watch Zach Williams and his band perform the probing, life-affirming "Less Like Me." Check out the performance above and watch more episodes of Positive Vibes Only here.

Julia Stone is proof that a great song doesn’t need a whole lot of embellishment to come across effectively and impactfully—just an acoustic guitar in some atmospheric scenery will do.

For Francisca Valenzuela, feminism isn't a radical notion, but a self-evident truth. The daughter of two renowned Chilean scientists, she's published muscular, experiential poetry (like her 2000 book, Defenseless Waters, which she published in her early teens) and founded Ruidosa, a festival, platform and community that elevates female voices.

In this episode of Press Play At Home, Valenzuela sings "La Fortaleza," which contains her worldview in microcosm. "Everything that has happened has led me to today," she sings in Spanish. "I look ahead to the horizon and I bury the guilt and leave/I pack a suitcase, take a deep breath and don't look back/Setting sun, rising sun will accompany me."
