Welcome to Frank Edwin's 1/30/2022 Salad Bar🥗Top 100 weekly inclusive feast where we invite you to Chow Down on a fresh variety of tasty musical artist cuisine. Romaine Calm - Turnip the Beet - Find Inner Peas.
The Top 100 has just a small sampling of the artists worldwide that have music we enjoy sharing. We literally can't keep up with the number of new songs released weekly and new to us artists we are discovering on a daily basis from a plethora of sources.
There are currently over 150 songs waiting to debut on the chart. To facilitate the opportunity of having more songs join the buffet we are delighted to give 6 songs each week the special designation of #1 Salad🥗Song.
#1 Salad🥗Song: Elaine Mai feat. Loah - Waiting To Breathe
Elaine Mai is one of Ireland's top electronic music producers. She collaborated on "Waiting To Breathe" with Loah who is Sallay Matu Garnett, an artist of Irish / Sierra Leonean origin.
Loah recounts how the collaboration came about: “I first met and loved working with Elaine when she remixed my track ‘Nothing’ years ago. She turned it into such a powerful version that I was super excited when she sent me a brand new piece for her album! As always, her tracks hit a very emotional place and leave you feeling both sensitive, moved, and empowered and this was no different. I took my time with this one, wanting to make every line as impactful and honest as the moment I first listened to the track. The sentiment of this tune is about an imagined future with a beautiful and special someone, that is not yet real or manifest, but is so close that you can feel them.”
It is a pleasure to present Elain and Loah with our Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “Waiting To Breathe” being given the designation of a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 12th week on the chart.

www.loahmusic.com/#1 Salad🥗Song: Feathers Wise · I Am Not Afraid
Feathers Wise is an American transgender singer-songwriter and actress. Born in Novato, CA, she began writing music as a young teenager using her home-built PC and Scream Tracker 3. She studied music composition in College, and dropped out to transition.
She found her voice singing at queer piano bars and around Radical Faerie fire circles. After many episodes of homelessness and marginal living, she landed in Brooklyn, NY in 2016 and was embraced by the diverse and vibrant social environment.
She wrote “I Am Not Afraid” with J.R. Price, another queer singer best known for his song “Body Positive” and his duet with Tom Goss, “Dance With Me." As Feather Wise explains, "The struggle to live and thrive in the trans community is a universal human story. People everywhere struggle with self awareness and acceptance of our true selves. We all want to be able to face the future with pride, joy, and the bountiful energy that comes as a result."
Lettuce Groove as “I Am Not Afraid” joins the scrumptious #1 Salad🥗Song cuisine in its 11th week on the chart.

www.feathersthewise.com/#1 Salad🥗Song: LAKY - Saving Me
Kyla Stroud, performing as LAKY, is a 27-year-old creative based in Kent and London. Their passions and interests include performing arts, mental wellbeing and people. As well as being a professional singer-songwriter and freelance events organiser, they're also a co-founder of Find Your Light Retreat CI. a not-for-profit arts and wellbeing retreat for struggling creative people in Kent and the surrounding areas.
“Saving Me” is their first solo single and addresses mental health awareness offering an insight into LAKY’s own mental health struggles, which they say have been a constant battle throughout their life.
“There’s a comfort for me and I hope, listeners, in knowing we’re not alone,” she tells Times Local News. “It’s not a song about fixing a problem, it’s a song about hope and being kind to yourself.”
“For me, the words Saving Me aren’t even about a place or another person, they’re directed back at me.”
“As much as I can beat myself up because I’ve taken another dip, I remind myself I am strong, I can get through this time and things will be better.”
We welcome LAKY to our #1 Salad🥗Song array.

Singer-songwriter Giri Peters from Nashville, Tennessee, USA plays Americana and roots music. We discovered Giri's music at last year's Bluegrass Pride concert and are delighted to present him with our Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “fallin’” being given the designation of a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 11th week on the chart.
Giri shares, “i started writing this song in september of 2020. i recorded this four times in my bedroom before i got to this version of the song. the pandemic has been rough for everyone across the globe and this was my song about feeling down during the pandemic; but also about how when you are down u have to get back up again and embrace life.”
In an interview for The Buegrass Situation we learn more, “There was one time a few years ago when I was getting down about wanting to be a musician. At the time there were many problems going on within the world, and I wanted to do something about it. I felt like my life would be useless unless I could help the world, and leave a mark somehow. At the time, I was lost regarding how I was going to do that with my music, but right around that same time I discovered songwriting.
Ever since that day, I decided I would write about real world problems, and that when I didn’t write directly about world issues, I would use my music as a platform to do my part in making this world a better place. Even though I am still at the beginning of my journey in doing that, I will never lose sight of that vision.
My songwriting is also my way of coping with life and the experiences I go through. Often I find that many other people feel the same way or have been through similar experiences. It is so amazing to me how songwriting has the ability to connect everyone no matter who they are, where they live, what they believe, or what they look like; and I believe that it is the greatest tool we can use to help connect human civilization.”

linktr.ee/Giripeters#1 Salad🥗Song: Rascal Miles - Baby Baby
“I’m more at home than I’ve ever been
In the fort in your living room”
It is a joy to present Rascal Miles with their second Salad🥗Bowl in honour of “Baby Baby” being given the designation of a #1 Salad🥗Song in its 10th week on the chart.
“‘Baby Baby’ – a supercute queer indie love song. Multi-talented Rascal is something of a one-enby-band – they play all the instruments on this track and provide the ‘choir’ of backing harmonies!”
loudwomen.org“The newest track by the non-binary indie musician and activist Rascal Miles is a beautiful indie ballad that mixes some gorgeous retro indie folk-rock elements with a tender voice of a natural storyteller. “Baby Baby” resonates so easily inside us we could do any of our day-to-day activities listening to it, and still feel lullabied." by José Baptista Coelho for wherethemusicmeets.com
