With the help of a beautiful piano intro, musical duo Mauwe releases their latest single “Strangers” today. We get a hit of realism with chilling vocals on a this bittersweet track like “After everything that you put me through, yeah that shit don’t matter now—-I really hope you’re happy now.” Mauwe opens up in the tug of war of what it’s like to still deeply care about an ex on the track. On one hand “Didn’t think this would happen to us, we’re strangers now,” remained unexpected, while on the other hand, the talk of “I really hope you’re happy,” is the realization that one party has moved on forward.
The track may be bittersweet but it is really good, from the lyrics to vocal execution. “Strangers” is sure to be a hit that you’ll sing-cry to in your car.
Tour Dates
April 12th – Moles Club Bath
April 13th – Purple Turtle, Reading
May 10th – Sixt Million Postcards, Bournemouth

Soothing, well-crafted, and moving. That’s what Sammy Strittmatter’s brand new track, “When She Sleeps” is. This new song will appear on Stritmatter’s upcoming record, Get Out of the City, dropping May 18 via Palo Santo Records. The Texas-bred, L.A.-based artist has clearly honed his craft, and it shines in “When She Sleeps”. This track is heaven for anyone needing some great acoustic guitar in their life. The chords perfectly accompany the confident yet soft vocals.
Says Strittmatter of his new track:
I first tracked this song while living in Arlington, TX. For about five years, I lived in a house that was built in 1916 for the Mayor. It was the first house built in the South Center Street Historic District. The house was all wood, so it had amazing acoustics in every room. Also, it had this stunningly tall stairwell, and I would place microphones at the very bottom, top, and in between, capturing a unique natural reverb. It was an inspiring place to think and create, which led to me writing the guitar part for this song.
“When She Sleeps” is not a track you’ll want to miss out on, so give it a listen today.
Watch for Get Out of the City, out May 18. Stay connected with Sammy Strittmatter:

San Jose based artist, Someya just released her latest track “You Saved Me.” The alt-pop artist not really shows off herv vocals, but her ability to write. “You Saved Me” is not a ballad, but more of an exaltation—a hymn even. The song starts off “Eventually they’ll learn the truth,” which sounds as if it’s about to a diss track to a former lover. Quite the opposite however. Someya’s voice borders on creepy – yet beautiful – as she proclaims, “When the night grows cold, I know you’re always there, I know you’ll always care–you are my prayer,” and at times “You Saved Me” feels like a hungry obsession. On “You Saved Me” Someya really shows us her ability to be diverse in her writing and her vocals. She takes lyrics that are meant to be happy making them feel daunting and serious.
Keep up with Someya here.
