Casey Wickstrom & Taylor Rae Join Forces For Highly-Anticipated Single “Post”
Singer-songwriters Casey Wickstrom and Taylor Rae are joining forces for the release of their highly-anticipated single “Post,” dropping on all streaming platforms on March 26. The single has had a long and unique journey to its final stage, creating a sense of emotional investment for both the artists involved and their fans. Originally written by Wickstrom in 2010, “Post” is a musical story about a nuclear holcaust, set to a melodious, indie-folk lullaby. Ten years later, Wickstrom met well-known Santa Cruz singer-songwriter Taylor Rae and immediately knew her voice would be perfect for a new, definitive version of the song. Wickstrom faced many life changes from the conception to the birth of “Post.” The aftermath of a near death car collision with a drunk driver in 2011 sent him spiraling into four years of drug addiction, PTSD, and suicidal depression. Finally able to get clean in 2015, Wickstrom continued to expand on an accomplished catalogue of music, writing, and videos. In 2020, Wickstrom and Rae raised over $3,500 from fans for the recording and promotional aspects of the release. “Post,” even in its demo form, was a favorite song of Wickstrom’s listeners, who eagerly pitched in to the new project. Taylor’s musical sensibilities and talent—she was Santa Cruz’s Nextie Musician of the Year—along with Wickstrom’s experience and musical vision for the song, created a perfect match for the tune. Together, the two brought “Post” to a new level, with lush three- and four-part harmonies, for a musical arrangement that is […]
Dariann Leigh Empowers in New Single “Let Me Go”
Dariann Leigh boasts the beauty of knowing your own worth in her brand new single, “Let Me Go.” Captivating and empowering, Dariann brings forth an anthem of confidence and self-respect. "When you let go of something, a lot of people associate that with weakness, as if you didn't have the strength to hold on," Leigh reveals. "But I disagree; there is power, dignity and courage in walking away from anyone or anything that discourages you from being the best version of your inner self. This song is my anthem, and I hope it can be yours, too." Standing firm in self-love and boundaries, “Let Me Go” proves that if you have faith in your own resilience, you are unstoppable. "I am mine; I belong to me, and I am powerful" became the mantra of Leigh and her co-writers Emily Fortney and Skye Claire as they brought the song to life. While there is strength in numbers, your worth comes from within. Valuing yourself is not conceited; it’s a necessity. Having already been featured on CMT, The Boot, Country Rebel and more, the best of Dariann Leigh is yet to come. "Let Me Go" is available on all digital platforms now.

Brooklyn’s retro pop fused artist, MAK, has dropped the first single, “Inside My Head” off of his upcoming EP, Lucid Dream. With introspective melodies carried by dark synth, this single paints the picture of an edgy, retrospective story through a dark lucid dream. “Inside My Head'' is available to listen and download on streaming platforms worldwide. Produced by Yonatan Watts, “Inside My Head” tells an eerily vivid story of how easy it is to get lost in your mind. “I'm at a point where I'm stuck inside my mind and in a spiral that I'm not sure I'll pull out of,” says MAK about a lucid dream that felt like a lifetime. The cheerful, enthusiastic sound and retro synths combined with mysterious and reflective lyrics create the song’s tension, leaving listeners craving more. “The resulting story is a wild trip that blends dark ideas with bright sounds and highs and lows,” says MAK. He combines influences of pop, R&B, and electro to make up his progressive sound. This genre fusion continues to set a mark for where the future of pop is heading.

Anushka Jag Releases Fierce New Single “Hurricane”
Pop-rock artist Anushka Jag releases her electric new single “Hurricane.” With her empowering lyrics and dynamic vocals, Anushka Jag delivers a vibrant and compelling track that serves as an anthem for women to stand in their confidence and assert their power in various situations. “Hurricane” is now available to stream on all digital music platforms worldwide. Anushka Jag’s fiery personality shines through in “Hurricane,” her new single about a strong and independent woman sitting alone at the bar ignoring the advances of men. “With ‘Hurricane’ I was going for a badass, sassy vibe. I think the lyrics convey that. It's humorous and at the same time empowering. The theme is about being comfortable by yourself. A girl doesn't always need a date to have fun,” Jag explains. She combines her fierce pop-rock sound with old-world Indian elements to create a modern sound. She delivers light-hearted lyrics in this tongue-in-cheek new single expressing how important it is to feel confident and comfortable in your own skin. “I write from an honest place about the things we all live through – the ups and downs of relationships, having to reinvent yourself, and picking yourself up after a betrayal,” explains Jag. “My hope is that others will feel empowered after listening to one of my songs.” Alongside Jag’s raw and authentic style comes her distinctive voice and cross-cultural influences.

Zola Releases Raw and Vulnerable New Single “Not Like Other Girls”
Singer-songwriter Zola, just released her new single “Not Like Other Girls,” a raw and unfiltered reflection observing the often catty and petty behavior of some young women. The track comes off of her upcoming album, Now You See Me, set to drop later this year. Driven by Zola’s honest and creative lyricism, the infectious song delves into other girls’ trivial antics and insincerity. “Not Like Other Girls” is now available to stream and download on digital music platforms worldwide. Setting the stage for “Not Like Other Girls” are somber yet penetrating piano keys that prop up moody guitar chords, and a haunting synthesizer as Zola’s invigorating vocals glide effortlessly along with the beat. The song is “about finding the courage to stand up for one’s self in the face of a bullying or gaslighting ‘friend.’ The type of girl described in the song has an individuality complex. She believes that she is superior because she is different and claims to be not like other girls, a title she wields as a weapon. The phrase is inherently misogynistic, labeling other girls as inferior. The irony is that this girl who thinks herself superior is actually the opposite,” Zola explains. Her unequivocal honesty and vulnerability are what makes her music so relatable and refreshing to her audience in comparison to the facades and hypocrisy she talks about in this new single. Hailing from Boston, Massachusetts, Zola is an 18-year-old singer-songwriter pushing the boundaries of genres while working with three-time Boston Music Awards “Producer of […]

JameiciaJ Brings The Heat In Winter With New Single + Video “Jameicia”
Minnesota native JameiciaJ released her latest hip-hop/pop single “Jameicia”. This project comes as the first single to follow up the release of her debut EP “Hip-Pop.” Growing up shy, Jameicia was unsure if she would ever find the confidence to record music. She kept her head down and continued to write poetry, until she finally saved up the funds and determination to get in the booth. Now, with the confidence, lyrics, and swagger consistent with traditional hip-hop, and the melodies and personality of a popstar, the influence of icons like Rihanna and Brandy are tangible in JameiciaJ’s work. As an independent artist, JameiciaJ is still testing the water and finding her sound, but it’s evident that she has grown more confident in her sound—a powerful balance of hip-hop and pop—since the release of her EP, sliding comfortably into the niche of hip-pop that she has carved for herself. “Jameicia” is a pivotal track for the artist—with a beat that she knew would pop off from the second she heard it—it embodies exactly who she is and aims to be as an artist: bold, fresh, and authentic. The self-titled track reflects exactly what we can hope to see from Jameicia going forward—confident lyricism, hard-hitting beats, and an authentic, dedicated artist that stays true to her roots and stays repping her hometown of Minneapolis, MN.

Florida Georgia Line was formed a duo in 2010 by Tyler Hubbard and Brian Kelley. Their 2012 debut single “Cruise” broke two major sales records: downloaded over seven million times, making it the first country song ever to receive the Diamond certification, becoming the best-selling digital country song of all time until it was surpassed in July 2017 by Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road”. “Cruise” remains their most popular song to date. “Cruise” helped to pioneer a style of country music known as “bro-country” which incorporates production elements from rock and hip-hop music and tends to cover subjects such as partying, drinking, driving trucks and sexual attraction.
