Kaleb Sanders – Be Better

Emerging country artist Kaleb Sanders wears his heart on his sleeve in new single “Be Better.” Echoing his traditional southern roots, the track is an anthem for self-improvement and is a strong follow up to his debut single, further placing a spotlight on his whiskey smooth vocals that hook you from the very first note.

Matt B – OGALA TRAVELER

Matt B’s visual for “OGALA TRAVELER,” the latest from his critically acclaimed Afrobeats album ALKEBULAN , is absolutely breathtaking. The video showcases the landscapes of Africa as Matt tells the story of a boy named Ogala, meaning “leader” in Igbo, and reflects on his journey inward to connect with his cultural roots. Matt’s immersive and vulnerable storytelling makes it clear why he was named ‘Artist of the Year’ by The Los Angeles Tribune, leaving an impression on the Motherland as well as our hearts.

GXTP – Lust & Purity

Ever wonder what goes on inside the toy box? When the children are away the action figures will play in GXTP’s new action-packed music video for “Lust & Purity,” fresh off their debut album Smoke & Mirrors. In the visual created with classic 90s films like Small Soldiers and Toy Story in mind, GXTP and actor David Arquette band together to take down the sinister chimp and feisty devil plotting their demise. The perfect combination of comedic antics and electric guitar, “Lust & Purity” is an undeniable rock banger that makes for a perfect mood-booster.

NXKXTA – HOPELESS KIND

With epic riffs and an infectious barb-wired hook ‘HOPELESS KIND’ is the latest taste of NXKXTA (aka Nikita)’s debut visual album (due March 2024). This alt-pop anthem from the multi-creative music artist delves into themes of self-sabotage and fatal forms of escapism. “With HOPELESS KIND I wanted to reference the emotional spiral you can find yourself in when life doesn’t work out the way you expected it would. The disillusionment throws you into this limbo of insecurity, self-doubt, self-sabotage and escapism through nightlife, substance addiction (for some), unhealthy friendship & relationship dynamics, forced fun and reckless enjoyment with people who feel just as miserable and numb as you do, all in the spirit of ‘misery likes company’ but disguised as just being oh so ‘wild and free”

Michael Isaak – hey boy

Michael Isaak has released his new single ‘hey boy,’ ahead of his upcoming EP Forever is a Scary World. Backed by a wistful production, the record tells the story of his internal struggle regarding his religious past. While the track is an emotional ride, it ends on a high note, with the young talent embracing a newfound freedom. Speaking on the track, Michael said: “’hey boy’” is a song about wishing well to the former versions of yourself, reminding them that everything will be okay, and it’ll all work out in the end. There’s so much I would say to my younger self, and I wish I could, but I’m also confident he’ll be able to figure it all out on his own.”

Talia Mar – Bored

Multifaceted artist Talia Mar shares her electric new single ‘Bored’ and we can’t get enough! Tapping into the iconic sound of the noughties, the new single is filled with catchy lyrics and funky pop production that will leave listners jamming all night long. When discussing the track, Talia said: “Bored has that 2000’s pop feel that I’ve really wanted to bring back for a while. I grew up listening to the Britney’s and Christina’s and I just fell in love with that era of music. I think we really captured those big synths and crazy beats that were so iconic back then.”
