Malka Red's "Yes Bitch" is a power anthem for empowerment
This is by far the hottest track on Malka Red’s EP — it’s a hard-hitting club beat layered with Red’s smooth vocals and an infectious bass. Audiences always sing along within seconds. The lyrics hint of something dominatrix-y and BDSM. The song has the perfect tempo for strutting down the street and feeling powerful and sexy. Of Malka Red’s four persona’s, this song belongs to the Panther Queen — badass, rebel, super hot.

MC Bravado shares dope visual for "Try-Polar"
Song Blurb/Letter:
My friends,
Everyone copes with depression, anxiety, and overall struggles with mental health at one point or another, despite some who still choose to gloss over it, failing to acknowledge the gravity of this epidemic with the sense of urgency it implores. The triggers, the solutions, the coping mechanisms, the risks for subsequent abuse, and the best route of treatment will always vary from one person to the next. The most important factor in the equation and perhaps the only net positive of these struggles is to foster empathy amongst one another as one of the human condition's darkest and most powerful battles wages on. My own issues and subsequent problems with substances have caused me to hurt some of the individuals I care about the most and to damage certain relationships beyond repair; if left unchecked, my entire life would have been left in ruins, and I would not be here to tell the tale.
We've all heard of "bi-polar", but in this song I'm telling you about three different versions of the same person/their worldview dependent upon how that person was choosing to cope. That doesn't make that person "tri-polar" however, let's settle on "Try-Polar" instead. Empathize with that struggle, and try to walk in that person's shoes from each vantage point. That person is me, and what ultimately works for me may not work with you, but compassion will always be universal, so exercise it, and most importantly: keep trying.
With love,
Richard Croce

Amethysts's new visual for "Purple Blood" is here!
English dream pop twosome, Amethysts, present their debut music video, 'Purple Blood.' The video follows a young man through a mysterious forest, accompanied by the crystalline sounds of Clarice Parrott and Simon Lucas-Hughes. Seemingly lost and bewildered, the man writhes on the forest floor, struggling with extreme internal chaos.
The song explores the inner battle of trying to chose the right path in life, and the subsequent wave of optimism once one path has been chosen. Eventually, he leaves the forest and approaches a breathtaking lake, outpouring purple blood into the water as a celebration of his newfounddirection. 'Purple Blood' explores the journey from self-doubt to self-actualization, using symbolic imagery and an unforgettable chorus to illustrate personal euphoria.

Strangelove shares new song "From Heights"
24-year-old Norwegian, Strangelove, is back on the scene with a brand-new single, «From Heights», released on the fresh and up and coming Oslo label, Luft Recordings. His second coming sees him venture into more pop-based terrain on a musical level - although maintaining his signature weirdness and lyrically bringing a level of introspective, refreshing honesty to the table.
This catchy number will stubbornly refuse to leave your head, so be prepared. Born in London, however spending most of his life in Norway, Strangelove has already made his mark upon his home country after his debut EP came out in 2015. Consequently, he was taken notice of by radio channel NRK P3, when he was selected as «Ukas Urørt» - one-to-watch chosen by a renowned music panel who have been known to pick out rising talent heading places. His track « Burnin » also made waves in the blogosphere, including a trip to the top of Hillydilly’s «Most Popular» chart.

L C A W shares incredible new song "Staring At The Sun" featuring Sophie Hintze
LCAW has revealed his brand new track ‘Staring At The Sun’ ft. Sophie Hintze. The global electronic phenomenon made a huge splash earlier in the summer with his smash hit ‘Nobody Else But You’, which picked up critical acclaim around the world. "Staring at the Sun" continues LCAW’s inimitable skill for combining electronic production with acoustic elements to create catchy, playful songs which transcend the genres. The song features a bewitching vocal from NYC based singer/songwriter, Sophie Hintze.
LCAW said: “‘Staring At The Sun’ has a clear message - If you feel trapped in a place or a situation you need to break free, pack up your things and just go. The Sun is quite symbolic in this picture, on the one hand it stands for hope, a better future, adventure; and on the other hand it is a burden. Staring directly at the sun for too long blinds you, leaving you on a path without navigation. The lyrics embrace a loss of direction. Hypnotised by yellow lines, moving faster than the speed of light, renegades without a plan. In the end it’ll be worth it”.
