Mad Keys | A Few MORE Ideas, Vol. 1 (Deluxe)
Composer and producer, Mad Keys released A Few MORE Ideas, Vol. 1 (Deluxe), and it’s an instrumental delight. The album blesses us with 12 tracks of swanky-soireè beats, infusing jazz, soul, and R&B. Catch Mad Keys in Europe beginning in April, on The Good Fight Anniversary Tour!
Tarune | let him cry
As the title suggests, this album just dropped with an invitation to go deep. Tarune gets intimate with tracks like “heart reasons” and “time to go”, cementing the vulnerable vibe of his artistry. Set some time for your feelings, and enjoy the poetry and soft strumming of let him cry.
Bre Kennedy | “Before I Have a Daughter” (Reimagined)
In true Nashville form, Bre Kennedy beautifully blends country, folk, and pop with her newest single, “Before I Have a Daughter (Reimagined)”. Reworked alongside Lori McKenna, the song shifts perspectives from mother to daughter, adding new depth to its already heartfelt storytelling. Along with this release, Bre stays reflective with another coming-of-track, “Twenty Something.” Be prepared to get nostalgic, and text your mom.
Formz | “You Did It First (acceptance)”
Formz held nothing back with his latest single, “You Did It First (acceptance).” The UK pop-hip-hop-rapper, created the ultimate break-up anthem, declaring, “the heartbreak era is here.” Not in your heartbreak era? The punchy energy will still have you hooked!
CLOVER | “Used To It”
New Jersey native and rising soulful indie-pop artist CLOVER just graced our radar with her new single. “Used To It” teases the upcoming debut of Atlas, the first EP from CLOVER, set to release May 30th. CLOVER’s sentimental influences of Carole King and Bonnie Raitt shine with her rich vocals, leaving us wanting more! Fingers crossed she performs Atlas at her upcoming show dates, but we’ll happily take more epic covers!
Featurette | Panic Pills
Panic Pills is your late-night synthy dreamscape—even with the lights on. The genre-bending group Featurette delivers pulsating electronic energy with a touch of insomnia, and their latest album is no exception. It all comes to halt with the track “Golden Hour,” a track that signals the transition from night to day—proof this was made for after-hours. Ready to get addicted?
