We had the pleasure of interviewing Amythyst Kiah over Zoom video!
GRAMMY-nominated singer-songwriter Amythyst Kiah shares her new album, Still + Bright via Rounder Records. Produced by Butch Walker (Taylor Swift, Green Day and Weezer) and recorded at his Nashville studio, the 12-track album is a vital new addition to Kiah’s body of work, one largely dedicated to exploring the struggle and joy of true self-discovery. While her 2021 Wary + Strange details her grief, anger, and abandonment, Still + Bright is her liberation from the events of her earlier life, examining the vast expanse of her inner world, passions, self-exploration and realization, with a darkly cinematic twist.
The project – which Rolling Stone hailed is “poised to be a major moment for the east Tennessee-raised singer-songwriter” – expands upon the wild definitions of Americana music. From gothic love songs with haunting vocals (“Silk and Petals feat. Butch Walker”) to a furiously stomping fantasy-inspired folk epic (“I Will Not Go Down” feat.Billy Strings"), or an ode to meditation laced with lush mandolin lines and lovely fiddle melodies (“S P A C E”), the album affirms her as an artist of both daring originality and uncompromising depth. The album is a collision of her love of indie rock, garage guitars and symphonic metal, flawlessly melded with the visceral lyricism and songwriting she’s renowned for in the roots community.
The project – which features collaborations with S.G. Goodman, Billy Strings and Avi Kaplan (Pentatonix) – also marks a complete transformation in Kiah’s songwriting process: her first time opening up her approach and working with co-writers on an album. The album features co-writes with punk legend Tim Armstrong, Sadler Vaden (guitarist/vocalist for Jason Isbell’s 400 Unit) and Sean McConnell (Brittney Spencer, Bethany Cosentino).
Kiah is currently on the road on her Still + Bright Tour, plus she recently was announced as direct support for select dates of Larkin Poe’s The Bloom Tour.
About Amythyst Kiah:
With an unforgettable voice that’s both unfettered and exquisitely controlled, the Tennessee-bred singer/songwriter is a “fantastic fingerpicker, dynamo singer and profound songwriter [who] defies all sorts of stereotypes” (Guitar Player). Her 2021 release of Wary + Strange earned glowing features and reviews from The New York Times, NPR Morning Edition, Pitchfork, and Rolling Stone, plus performances on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Morning. Kiah is also a member of Our Native Daughters—an all-women-of-color supergroup whose standout track “Black Myself” (written by Kiah) earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best American Roots Song. She recently joined Iron & Wine on their summer tour, and has shared stages with The Who, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, CAM and more.

We had the pleasure of interviewing BabyJake over Zoom video!
Florida-born Jake Herring, known professionally as BabyJake, may have appeared to be an overnight success, but his journey to the spotlight was anything but instantaneous. His hit single Cigarettes on Patios took off in 2019, garnering 200M+ streams and earning him a certified gold record and a major label deal. He would release two albums from the same vine, until the upheaval of the pandemic saw him splitting with his label and at a pivotal turning point.
But giving up was never an option for Jake, and his resilience set him on a new path: an ascetic journey to rediscover himself, shedding his shag haircut in favor of a buzzcut, naked skin marked by the tattoos he collected along his journey. He found the answer on his upcoming album Beautiful Blue Collar Boy, a bouquet of songs rooted in the beauties and hardships of day to day life. Drawing influence from the likes of Bob Dylan, Tom Petty, and Jeff Tweedy, BabyJake stays true to his north star of confident storytelling and songwriting. On Beautiful Blue Collar Boy, Jake trades in the late night parties for the simplicity of authenticity, hard work, and a meaningful life to come home to.
This chapter of BabyJake reveals a man stripped down to his American roots, with each song painting a small vignette of BabyJake’s blue collar dreams. Now planted in Nashville, TN, Jake returns to us as a Beautiful Blue Collar Boy.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Amble over Zoom video!
Rising Irish folk trio Amble unveil their major label debut EP, The Commons, via Warner Records. Listen to it HERE
Beloved for their descriptive storytelling, lyrics and powerful live performances, the band just announced their biggest headline tour to date for 2025, including shows at Dublin’s Trinity College and New York’s Bowery Ballroom, which sold out within minutes. The 30+ date run follows the band’s entirely sold-out 2024 headline tour across US, Canada, UK and Ireland, including their debut performances in Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago, and many more.
The Commons includes previously released tracks, “Little White Chapel” and “The Commons,” plus three new tracks, including the standout ballad “Thoughts Flood Back To You,” “One Man’s Love,” and“Luke The Navigator.” Throughout, the five-track EP explores themes of love, loss, and loneliness but always concludes with hope and wonder for the beautiful world around us.
On writing the EP, the band explains, “Every one of our songs tells a story. We had no ambition to add bells or whistles or anything production-wise. We’re putting a microphone in a room, recording the music, and that's it. All three members are songwriters, each contributing in their own unique way. Robbie’s songs are based on personal experiences while Oisin – who also writes poetry and short stories– delivers somewhat more impressionistic work, and Ross admits he’s more of a melody guy.”
Stay tuned for much more from Amble in 2025.
ABOUT AMBLE
Amble are Robbie Cunningham, Oisin McCaffrey, and Ross Mc Nerney, a three-piece ensemble of songwriters hailing from the Midlands and West of Ireland. Amble’s debut EP, 2023’s Amble (Live), introduced a new, musing, trad-tinged trio of songwriters to the Irish music scene, followed by 2024’shighly distinctive Of Land and Sea, found the group expanding their sound to an ever-more global audience. Their songs present indelible marks of deft rural-related storytelling and musicality that is equally traditional and current. Unusually for a contemporary group, all three members are songwriters. Every song tells a story. Robbie, Ross, and Oisin write songs that provide a quick getaway: one minute you’re at the center of life’s relentless storms, the next you’re sitting in the shelter and warmth of your local bar on a chilly winter‘s evening with friends, a drink, and the reliability of a great song. The unique perspective of three individual songwriters creates a peerless body of work - built on the now familiar, ruminative observations on the world and more fitting to the Amble journey - the stories unfolding each day within it.

We had the pleasure of interviewing charlieonnafriday over Zoom video!
The 21-year-old singer-songwriter who bobs and weaves freely between alternative, pop, and country, got his start by cooking up genre-busting anthems in his Seattle basement, turning his high school dreams into an impressive reality in DIY terms. His certified platinum hits “After Hours” and “Enough” have certainly solidified him as one to watch. He’s also opened for heavy-hitters like Tate McRae, Macklemore, and Jesse Murph.
After building anticipation with one banger after another, charlieonnafriday, who has amassed nearly 1 billion global streams with his string of irrepressible releases since 2022, unveils his anxiously-awaited debut album, WILD CHILD, out now via Island Records.
The record showcases his immense growth as a songwriter, vocalist, performer, and formidable presence. This time around, he powers up irresistible pop hooks with his classic hip-hop bounce, and just the right amount of country swagger, making each record accessible to all music lovers, no matter their genre of choice. Earlier this month, he set the stage for WILD CHILD with the intoxicating single “Bottle Go Down” supplemented by its high seas yacht party music video (living his best life, of course). Across the album, he continues to amplify this energy and remains musically unpredictable at every turn—from the hypnotic “Warning Shot” to the hummable “When It Rains.”
ABOUT CHARLIEONNAFRIDAY:
Cooking up genre-busting anthems out of a cluttered and cramped Seattle basement, charlieonnafriday (a.k.a. Charlie Finch) unassumingly transformed a high school dream into an impressive reality in D.I.Y. fashion and on his own terms. As he scaled multiplatinum heights, gathered billions of streams, and performed to sold out crowds, he always clung tightly to what brought him to that point in the first place. He makes music with the indisputable integrity surrounded by “day one” friends—fondly known as his “onnafriday” clique. He initially lit up TikTok mid-Pandemic. Inking a deal with Island Records, he ignited the platinum-certified “After Hours” and platinum-certified “Enough.” In between, he collaborated with everyone from Lil Tjay to Bankrol Hayden. He also earned acclaim from Billboard, People, and many more. Renowned for unpredictable and undeniable shows, he performed to packed audiences on bills with the likes of Macklemore, Jessie Murph, and Tate McRae. However, everything just set the stage for more music to come in 2024.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Capstan over Zoom video!
To make a mosaic, tiny pieces interlock as a larger picture. In similar fashion, distinct elements coalesce as one in Capstan. The Florida quintet—Anthony Demario [vocals], Joe Mabry [guitar], Harrison Borman [guitar], Andrew “Boz” Bozymowski [bass, vocals], and Scott Fisher [drums]—merge metallic precision with pit-splitting hardcore grooves and the kind of hooks you can’t shake. After amassing tens of millions of streams and earning acclaim from the likes of KERRANG! and many more, the group paint a definitive body of work on their aptly titled third full-length offering, The Mosaic [Fearless Records].
Since 2015, Capstan have progressed with each subsequent move. Following Seasonal Depression [2015] and In The Wake of Our Discord [2018], they made waves with their full-length debut, Restless Heart, Keep Running, in 2019. Among many standouts, “Stars Before The Sun” racked up over 5.1 million Spotify streams followed by “We’ll Always Have Paris” with 2.5 million Spotify streams. 2021 saw them level up again with Separate. Right out of the gate, KERRANG! rated it “4-out-of-5 stars” and proclaimed, “This is Capstan at full strength and it’s a second outing to be proud of.” They toured with the likes of Trash Boat, Doll Skin, Silverstein, and many more.
This time around, the boys opted to self-produce, engineer, and record what would become The Mosaic. At the same time, they collectively absorbed the spirit of a more optimistic season.
As with any mosaic worth pondering, this one might just leave you uplifted.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Nina Nesbitt over Zoom video!
Singer-songwriter and producer and multi-instrumentalist, Nina Nesbitt releases her new album, Mountain Music. From exceeding a billion streams to being championed by Taylor Swift and playing shows with everyone from Coldplay to Stevie Nicks, Nina’s career has taken her from highlight to highlight. Yet the release of her new album could well be the most significant moment to date. Not only is it a record that leans into an accomplished and engaging new sound, but it’s also the first release via her new independent label Apple Tree Records.
Mountain Music is a record in which authenticity flows through every moment. Its impetus was a moment of crisis: Nina had become overwhelmed by the need to be always active on social media and realized it was a huge distraction from her songwriting. So instead, she paused and went back to basics. What emerged was a set of songs which were informed, in part by the two years she spent touring the States in support of her second studio album: the critically acclaimed The Sun Will Come Up, The Seasons Will Change, and partly by the Americana and US folk music that she has always loved. Their narratives also became more personal than ever. She reflected on everything that has happened in her life: growing up in a small Scottish village, breaking into music while living in the bustle of London, and now looking back at all of her life experiences from her new home in the countryside. While it might sound strange that Nesbitt was drawn to the music of Appalachia, heard echoing through the vast, verdant mountain ranges of the eastern United States, it makes more sense when you consider how traditional Scottish ballads and hymns are threads in that rich tapestry.
Speaking about the new album, Nina Nesbitt reveals, “’Mountain Music’ feels like the most authentic and honest piece of work I’ve created so far. I was inspired by a lot of the American folk music I grew up listening to, and revisiting it made me fall back in love with writing music again. I knew I wanted to take inspiration but to also write my own story. This album celebrates that small town girl, puts an arm around the big city twenty-something and looks back at the view with me now from the calm and the quiet. ‘Mountain Music’ held my hand through some of my hardest moments and I hope it can hold yours too.”
The album’s organic, resonant feel also comes from a recording process which placed a sharper focus on the importance of live performances. Accompanied by a band of musicians, Peter Miles and Nina produced sessions at Middle Farm Studios in South Devon in the UK, with Peter completing the record with mixing and mastering. That sound is today further showcased as Nina shares the new Mountain Music Session performance of the album’s closing track, “Parachute,” a swaying, romantic ballad that also addresses her introvert tendencies. Accompanied by a five-piece band, Nina leads a song which steadily grows in stature from sparse piano into a dramatic crescendo of sound. She’s visibly lost within the moment, channeling her emotions into an affecting song which charts the self-doubt that she had prior to starting the album.
Having recently enjoyed a big spotlight moment when she performed at Team Great Britain’s Homecoming show live on BBC One to over 2 million viewers, and having just completed a dream tour as special guest to Stevie Nicks earlier this year, Nina plans to hit the road next month for a UK headline tour.
For a list of upcoming tour dates, please visit ninanesbittmusic.com.Stay tuned for more music and live dates, coming soon!

We had the pleasure of interviewing Little Monarch over Zoom video!
Plenty of Time gives listeners a look inside Little Monarch, the bedroom-pop disco-funk hybrid brainchild of Casey Kalmenson. Recorded in her home studio in Los Angeles, CA, the collection of 13 tracks strung together in between tours and life on the road range from simple moments to introspective homesick yearnings.
Plenty of Time features latest single and opener “We Got That Feeling,” a funky and slick track about capturing those special moments with loved ones that make the rest of the world fade away and turn good times into timeless memories. Atmospheric track “It’s Like Music” describes the comforting feeling of listening to the ramblings of someone you adore. The cosmic self-love anthem “Sheesh” and radiant bass-driven single “Follow Your Majesty” both share a similar message of putting yourself first while celebrating your individuality. Elsewhere on the full-length is jaunty track “Bounce” that encourages you to go after what you want while “Same Old” bursts with warbly synths as Kalmenson speaks to being surrounded by the wrong kind of energy you need to be your best self.
As Little Monarch, Kalmenson creates a truly unique listening experience, blending various elements into a cohesively contemporary yet retro sonic drive, and Plenty of Time is no exception to that.
Recognized for her exceptional musical abilities, she has found viral success with hits including “No Matter What” and “Strike” which have quickly added to her over 41 million global streams and she has garnered praise from the likes of Wonderland, Ones To Watch, The Line of Best Fit, and Atwood Magazine among others. Her music can be heard in a variety of campaigns with brands such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Shiseido Cosmetics along with syncs for shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Love Is Blind, and Love At First Lie. She is also an integral member of Gracie Abrams' band and played a pivotal role in the highly acclaimed Taylor Swift The Era's Tour in 2023, showcasing her exceptional talent on a global stage.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Tony McGuinness of Above & Beyond over Zoom video!
Before Tony McGuinness was Tony McGuinness of Above & Beyond, he was another artist, another music industry professional, another man entirely, which is completely understandable. Because, for the Tony McGuinness who is finally releasing his debut album almost three decades after he recorded it, it was a whole other lifetime.
‘Salt’ is the great lost solo project from the songwriter who would become the chief “male voice” lyricist in Above & Beyond (beloved favorites like “Sun & Moon,” “Thing Called Love,” “Northern Soul,” “Gratitude,” and more).
Now, at last, in 2024, the fans, followers, and the fascinated can hear the DNA of that songwriting mastery. McGuinness wrote the heart of Salt’s nine tracks in a heady six-month burst between 1995 and 1996, the result of a classic ’90s whirlwind romance in London that was popping off with the explosion of club culture in the UK.
This whirlwind romance became the inspiration behind “Biker Babe,” the first single from the forthcoming album. “She had a Triumph motorcycle T-shirt on,” says McGuinness. "And I just went twang on my guitar and sang: ‘biker babe, biker babe…’. And that's how that song came.”
In “Biker Babe,” a sun-dappled Sixties strum with, let’s just say it, Noel Gallagher-shaped contours, Tony wrote a song where he and Shelley’s story was transposed onto characters in Twin Peaks. “Which is where the mention of The Roadhouse comes from," he says of a lovelorn confessional which, 28 years later, opens Salt, "and ran with that all the way through to the ending. I knew she was gonna have to go back to America because she had no visa, and she had a flat in America that she didn't want to lose.”
Also on the “Biker Babe” single is “Babydoll White,” a title which fans may recognize in another form from McGuinness’s Deep House alias ‘Fingerprint.’ He had remixed the track as a deep house record and released it in 2020 on Anjunabeats; however, the song originated in a completely different form. “Babydoll White” features a guitar solo by co-producer and longtime collaborator Bob Bradley.
‘Biker Babe’, and the entire “Salt” album is out now via Anjunabeats.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sadye over Zoom video!
Sadye was one of the winners of Optimism's "We Heart The Art" Contest! The contest shines a light on the creativity and innovation occurring onchain. Sadye minted her song Pretty Traumatized on Sound.xyz in January, which was her entry for Optimism's "We Heart The Art" contest.
Inspired by her intense struggle with cancer, discovering self-worth, and dealing with toxic relationships, her lyrics are steeped in a sarcastic form of catharsis as she learns to love her literal, and figurative, scars; a theme beautifully juxtaposed by catchy, modern melodies and edgy pop production. Her music has received adds to coveted Spotify playlists including Obsessed, IT"S A BOP!, New Pop Picks, Night Pop and more as well as Apple's New in Alternative, Amazon's Breakthrough Pop, Girl Squad and Tidal's Future Sounds.
Her latest single "Pretty Traumatized" is produced by regular collaborators Mike Green (Paramore, Sueco, Gwen Stefani, 5SOS, Paris Hilton) and Nico Stadi (Justin Bieber, Jason Derulo). The track is a bouncy, nostalgic, dark-pop anthem. Featuring airy keys punctuated by 80's synth stabs and driving 808's, Sadye delivers her signature tongue-in-cheek lyrics inspired by her real life story of recovery, reminding us that we can embrace our traumas and still look damn good doing it.
Sadye transcends the limits of mainstream pop, challenging listeners and breathing new life into the genre with otherworldly mystique and uncompromising vision. From humble beginnings as a small town singer/songwriter, Sadye writes with depth and heart, often taking on unexpectedly dark and heavy themes. Inspired by her intense struggle with cancer, dealing with toxic relationships, and finally discovering her self-worth, her lyrics are steeped in a sarcastic form of catharsis as she learns to love her literal, and figurative, scars; a theme beautifully juxtaposed by catchy, modern melodies and edgy pop production, appealing to fans of Kim Petras and Charli XCX to Nine Inch Nails and The Weeknd.
Boasting hundreds of thousands of streams, TV placements, and playlist covers, Sadye leans into her inconceivable “industry plant” aesthetic, challenging conventional notions of stardom, and prompting listeners to question the essence of celebrity. Intrigued by emerging technology, she boldly ventures into the web3 space, seamlessly bringing her cult into the future with exclusive digital rewards, proof of her commitment to standing out in a rapidly evolving music landscape.

We had the pleasure of interviewing GHØSTKID over Zoom video!
"The biggest problem that art has nowadays is that it doesn't hurt anymore," says GHØSTKID vocalist and agent provocateur Sebastian "Sushi" Biesler. "Especially here in Germany, people are so afraid to push boundaries, to make art that makes you think and feel."
By fall 2021, with the world shutdown seemingly over, Sushi wasn't content to let his creative yen languish at home in Germany.
"Even though we had made it through COVID, I was missing being able to play live, to really function as a band," says Sushi. "It didn't feel real to me. I became distanced from the music." A six-week decampment to Los Angeles became the creative fuel for GHØSTKID's next steps. The last vestiges of Hollywood sleaze, decaying glamour, personal temptation, and the still-vibrant creative vibes of the city became the frontman's "don't-look-before-you-leap" inspiration for the gestating HOLLYWOOD SUICIDE.
The album is a perfect snapshot of an artist finding himself, crawling from his own personal wreckage against a crumbling, mythical Californian milieu. "That's why 'HOLLYWOOD SUICIDE' is the first track. If you really want to make it, you have to give a lot. You have to be willing to give up everything. It's kind of like suicide to the person that you've been when you become an artist."
The matching, lush, and elaborate art adorning the album was created by Aly Wayne Gacy.

We had the pleasure of interviewing VENUES over Zoom video!
With their third album “Transience”, VENUES effortlessly pushes the boundaries of what is possible in modern metal. After two strong predecessors “Aspire” and “Solace”, oscillating somewhere between post-hardcore, alternative metal and metalcore, the Stuttgart-based band are finally tearing down all barriers, borders and walls. “Transience” unleashes an emotional cascade full of great melodies, visionary soundscapes, abysmal heaviness and visceral, unfiltered emotion. This is not just an album. This is catharsis. A medicine for a sick world. The antidote to dreariness, indifference and coldness.
And yet it is anything but a given fact that VENUES are still standing. Old members left, corona hit hard; yet, from a long dark tunnel emerged a band that has somehow only grown bigger, stronger, more fearless through all the setbacks and catastrophes. “Since our last album, we’ve grown together enormously as a band,” confirms shouter Robin Baumann. Since 2019, he has been sharing the vocals with wonder voice Lela Gruber, who has given VENUES a huge boost and is easily one of the most versatile, strongest vocalists in modern metal – a voice like an axe for the frozen sea within us. “We all pulled together and can now talk openly about everything,” she says. “That has brought a whole new vibe to the band – not to mention that insane energy.”
You can hear it, but you can feel it even more: The ten songs on “Transience” revolve around vanitas, farewells, new beginnings and the inevitability of change; they are emotional projectiles that hit home exactly where they hurt the most: right into our wounded hearts. Recorded in three creative and harmonious sessions with their long-time producer and confidante Christoph Wieczorek (Annisokay) at Sawdust Recordings in Halle, the final act in their trilogy bears all the pain of a wounded world. VENUES don’t look away, don’t suppress anything, don’t sugarcoat. But they don’t give up on themselves and this world either and sing, scream and play against powerlessness. They live, they suffer, they love, they breathe; they don’t close their eyes to toxic relationships (“Unspoken Words”), they channel emotional baggage (“Godspeed, Goodbye”). But VENUES are at their most moving in their most intimate moments. When Robin Baumann addresses his mother’s cancer in “Braille”, for example, or when Lela sings about imprisonment in the depressing “Coming Home”. “I haven't yet managed to sing this song without crying,” she says quietly.
This vulnerability, this unfiltered empathy leads to an incredibly intense, at times painstakingly honest album that draws on post-hardcore, alternative rock and electronic prisms. A healing thunderstorm, no less. “When I think back to my 16-year-old self, sitting sadly in his room and immersed in music, I realise what we are actually doing here and that we are this important band for some people today,” says singer Lela. They are: The bristling power of Bring Me The Horizon goes hand in hand with the symphonic arena demolition of In This Moment, infused with a very unique sound that has once and for all become an unmistakable brand on album three. “Transience” is a camera obscura, a prism composed of numerous dazzling facets and immortalised by a band at a new creative and musical peak. “Our last album was a pretty heavy metal record in response to our debut; this time we consciously wanted to be as open and multi-faceted as we are as individuals,” says Robin. “This album sounds the way we always wanted to sound.”
VENUES are a metal band at heart, of course. Nevertheless, this has never been a band for those who prefer to think in drawers. For those who don’t want to miss out on great melodies or powerful breakdowns, in turn, they are: The band has been playing their way up step by step since 2015. First “Aspire”, then “Solace”, touring extensively for both records. Since the last album, VENUES have been on the road with Emil Bulls and Blind Channel and played in Wacken, and the first new songs were already released back in 2022. You can feel how hungry the band is right now, how eager to live out their momentum. It’s not the first time people have said this about this band, but: VENUES are just getting started.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Kobra Paige over Zoom video!
Kobra Paige releases the title track “Like No Other” off her debut solo album Like No Other to be released on August 30th. The title track, co-written with Lizzy Hale (Halestorm) and Joe Hottinger (Halestorm) alongside producer Nick Raskulinecz (Foo Fighters, Halestorm, Alice In Chains) showcases the depth and soul behind the creation of the entire album.“
Like No Other” was later completed by Kobra at producer Brian Howe’s (Skillet, Daughtry, Linkin Park) Black Stove Studios in 2021 where the addition of Sitar was introduced. This paid tribute to a part of Kobra’s upbringing which involved many years of seva (service), with her family, at an ashram in southern India.
Kobra says, “This song is the heartbeat of the album and the distillation of what, I believe to be, life’s journey. If I were to share my essence and experience of what I know about being human, in one song, this would be it. LNO speaks to the recognition of our mind, body, and spirit as the one ‘home’ we truly have in this lifetime. We are its sacred keeper and there’s no limit to the number of times we can rebuild or change its path.”
Kobra shares, “As we move through this song, you will hear a sonic blend of worldly drums and Indian Sitar blended with the cozy Dobro and various acoustic and electric guitar layers. This is to express the beautiful paradox of our individuality in this world while simultaneously being plugged into the tapestry of a collective. The vocals are confident yet bare to the rawness of how lonely life can still feel, despite being surrounded by so many others. The ebb and flow of forward then backward motion, we experience all the time, is expressed and celebrated for the strength it takes to keep going through the adversities we face. In the pre-chorus, we have Fleetwood Mac-esque vocal layers, some company for a weary soul. Finally, the chorus holds the wisdom and the key. I speak of the very ancient wisdom of water and use its powerful metaphor as a beacon of remembrance to everyone. One of the most difficult parts of this life- journey is to surrender and cease resisting that which we can’t control. To flow like water is a great aspiration as it patiently shapes things over time, does not force itself, and yet moves powerfully when needed. Finally, a gift for us all. An important affirmation deeply rooted in ‘enoughness’ and truth. ‘I Am Like No Other’. You are the only one keeping you from yourself."
Kobra Paige’s release of single’s has been the beginning of a new journey, all leading to the culmination, announcement and release of her forthcoming record. Through song and deliberate visuals, this body of work aims to encourage self-liberation without abandoning the world. Kobra believes music plays an integral role in connecting, elevating, and healing humanity.
About Kobra Paige

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mergui over Zoom video!
Emerging singer-songwriter Mergui, made his debut appearance on NBC’s TODAY Show on May 21st, to perform his single "Happy Now?". This track is the second single from his sophomore EP, Shadows of Blue, out now on Virgin Music/Saban Music Partners.
Produced by industry icons like the legendary David Foster(Madonna, Michael Jackson) and acclaimed singer-songwriter/producer K-KOV, Shadows of Blue presents a unique body of work that captures the myriad emotions of staying true to one's passion, despite the obstacles encountered. Mergui’s forthcoming EP delivers an intimate yet cinematic journey through the depths of human experience, drawing inspiration from diverse sources such as early 20th-century Italian opera and the nostalgic allure of '70s AM pop. Mergui skillfully intertwines these influences, infusing each piece with a contemporary twist that is both refreshing and compelling. The EP has already garnered attention across various Spotify playlists including New Pop Picks, Just Good Music, and Breakthrough Pop to name a few.
Mergui's talent has been gaining significant recognition lately. He was featured in in People’s Talented 2024 Spring Emerging Artists, where they described his music as akin to "Paradise." The latest issue of Music Connection proclaimed Mergui a "crooner sure to be a big hit," and further showered praise upon their review of the EP, describing it as a collection of "beautifully written songs that tug at the heart's strings." Atwood Magazine further commended Mergui, declaring him “a brilliant singer whose voice manages to deepen the pain of the situation that the lyrics evoke.”
Mergui truly stands out as an exceptional talent worthy of recognition! He is big overseas and comes from a musical family – his mom is a singer and his dad used to be a musician.
Los Angeles Magazine hailed his current single “Happy Now?” as a “melodic, soul-stirring excavation on romantic heartbreak.” Earlier this year, Mergui released the Elton John approved single “Cry,” which he captivated audiences with a spellbinding, stripped-back rendition of on The Kelly Clarkson Show. Following the performance, the track climbed the U.S. iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts peaking at #10! Atwood Magazine praised the track as "a moving piano/guitar number that’s sure to tug at plenty of heartstrings," and Rolling Stone featured it in their esteemed 'Songs You Need To Know' list alongside industry heavyweights like Beyoncé and Camila Cabello.
Mergui's journey is one marked by remarkable achievements, including opening for chart-toppers Bruno Mars and Maroon 5 to crowds of 65,000. His talent has been widely recognized by reputable publications such as Variety, Rolling Stone, and Billboard. Through his unguarded sense of vulnerability, Mergui emerges as an undeniable 'Artist To Watch' in 2024.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Tompkins over Zoom video!
Highly acclaimed British singer-songwriter Sam Tompkins releases his eagerly anticipated debut album hi, my name is insecure via Republic Records. Also released today is his brand new single ‘almost killed me’.
Listen to hi, my name is insecure HERE
Listen to ‘almost killed me’ HERE
hi, my name is insecure is the sum of years of hard work from Sam as he builds his dream body of work, incorporating tracks which are already fan favorites alongside exciting new material. The album, out today, also sees Sam team up with writer Pablo Bowman (Calvin Harris, James Arthur, Jonas Brothers) as well as writer and producer Danny Casio (Little Mix, Joy Crookes, Tom Grennan, Rudimental). The album includes hit tracks ‘someone else’, ‘time will fly’, ‘see me’, ‘lose it all’, ‘phones in heaven’ and ‘numb’.
The title of the album, hi, my name is insecure, speaks to Sam’s more introverted side as he explains, “I really like being in the company of my friends, but if you take me out of my comfort zone, and have me hang out at a party or an event or whatever, I just go inside myself and I find any excuse to get out of it.”
The newly released single, ‘almost killed me’, delves into the turbulent and confused emotions of a break-up, with Sam’s raspy tones and pop-rock guitar riff bringing energy and grit to the tune. Produced by Matthew Koma (PINK/Britney Spears) and co-written by Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Ava Max, Zara Larrson), speaking on the single Sam says: "Almost Killed Me is all about those times when you’ve finally got out of a difficult relationship and you can see it for what it truly was. whether bad, toxic or just not meant to be. Sometimes it’s the hope that kills you and that is what it’s about. You really think you can make it work sometimes, but when it’s over and you have time to sit with it, you can finally see the bigger picture. I love this song and am so excited for it to be heard!"
If there’s one thing Sam wants his fans to take away from his live show, or from his music, it’s that a problem shared is a problem halved. Sam shares that “Whenever I talk about my problems in my songs, I feel like a weight has been lifted, because I know that I don't have to hide or be ashamed of that thing, and I want everyone else to feel that like there's nothing in this world that you might feel sad about that is shameful. In terms of mental health, there isn’t anything you ought to shy away from, you should always let people know if you’re struggling.”
Since starting his musical journey at 16 years old busking on the streets of Brighton, Sam has gone on to sell out shows around the world and amass a dedicated and enraptured fanbase, cementing his reputation as one of the fastest-rising British male artists. He was hailed by the likes of GQ as “one of the UK's most exciting vocal talents of the moment”, CLASH’s “the man of the moment” and last year was nominated for Rolling Stone's Rising Star Award. He’s cultivated an incredible online community for millions to share their love of music and has received praise from high-profile artists including Drake, Fred again.., Justin Bieber, RAYE, Sam Smith and more.
The future looks bright for Sam Tompkins as he looks ahead to supporting singer/songwriter Myles Smith on his North American tour throughout September and October, which sees Sam perform at sold-out shows across Seattle, Vancouver, Portland, Sacramento, San Francisco, West Hollywood, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Denver, Saint Louis, and Kansas City. Tickets are on sale HERE. Not only this, but later this year Sam will also be heading out on his biggest EU and UK headline tour. The tour will see Sam perform across the UK and Europe throughout November and December. He will take to the stage in Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Bristol, Birmingham, Brighton, Bournemouth, Madrid, Barcelona, Copenhagen, Stockholm, Oslo, Prague, Hamburg, Warsaw, Munich and Amsterdam. Tickets are on sale HERE
Championing authenticity without taking himself too seriously, and using his ever-growing platform to encourage others to do the same, Sam is an artist apart.

We had the pleasure of interviewing The Wild Things over Zoom video!
Fast-rising UK quartet The Wild Things have released “Drunk Again”, the lead single from their sophomore LP Afterglow, set for release later in 2024. Co-produced by Pete Townshend, “Drunk Again” is the perfect soundtrack to a night out at the local dive and further cements The Wild Things as one of rock’s most exciting young acts.
Anchored by a twangy lick from guitarist Rob Kendrick and vocalist Sydney Rae White’s powerful voice, “Drunk Again” is the latest punchy offering from a group with seemingly endless potential. The forthcoming Afterglow record will be an immersive choose-your-own-adventure concept record that tells the story of the residents of the fictional town of Valentine amidst a paranormal phenomenon.
Already a critical favorite (they have been profiled by Kerrang! who declared them “your favorite new band”, Clash who said they are “blazing a trail across London, with their snappy, infectious live show,” and Rolling Stone who praised “their hook-laden riffs, tight melodies, and White’s stage presence”), “Drunk Again” demonstrates The Wild Things’ voracious appetite for power chords, sing-along choruses, and the gripping storytelling of their creative heroes (Pete Townshend, Spielberg, etc). They may sound straight out of the 70s, but The Wild Things are turning their amps up to 11 for a whole new generation of rock and roll fans.
Having honed their live show with high-profile opening gigs for The Who (their first-ever US show was at Madison Square Garden) and KISS, “Drunk Again” builds on the momentum of their recent Friends With Benefits EP (which featured KISS’ Tommy Thayer). Recorded at Pete Townshend’s London studio, the track notably features the legendary guitarist playing a Lowrey Berkshire Deluxe TBO-1 organ - the very same instrument that appears on “Baba O’Riley”. At the end of the sessions, Townshend gifted the organ to the band…a symbolic passing of the torch from one generation to the next.
It’s been a busy 2024 for The Wild Things, whose Friends With Benefits EP featured appearances by Townshend, KISS’ Tommy Thayer, and drag legend Trixie Mattel. In true Rock n Roll fashion, the band celebrated the release by performing atop a bus traveling down Hollywood Boulevard in LA, before taking the stage at The Bourbon Room in Hollywood for a high-octane free performance in front of their adoring stateside fans.
The Wild Things are Sydney Rae White, Rob Kendrick, Pete Wheeler, and Cam White.
