Back again after the successful release of their last single, Lume is back with the release of their second single, “Unending” from their next album Wrung Out. Not only is a perfect complement to their previous release, “Unending” is full of a new excitement, rhythm and beat that is a new angle fans have yet to see in their previous releases. Originally, when the band began their journey of writing and producing their new album, they were inspired by the weight that society tends to place on certain subjects. Highly affected by the death of three friends, taken too soon from this earth and who suffered from drug abuse and suicide, Lume was motivated to speak out and express these deep emotions with their music. Although the themes of their lyrics are of great societal concern, “Unending,” avoids being dismal and bleak. Instead, it takes the listener on a journey that is beautiful, but also leans far over the edge until you are forced to take a plunge into their crashing finale.
With two singles from their next album out on the market, band members of Lume are preparing for the release of their full length album that is scheduled to drop on April 20. Also, more exciting news from this budding band includes the announcement made recently of the their upcoming tour with REZN. With a new album scheduled for release and a tour just around the corner, Lume is finally getting the attention from the music community that they so crave and rightly deserve.

Rapper Kahiem Rivera just release his latest “This Night Last Year” (ft. Snake Eye). I’m a big fan of rap, but I’m even a bigger fan of amazing rap that the whole world has yet to discover. Kahiem Rivera hits everything perfectly on “This Night Last Year.” Snake Eyes takes the lead at the beginning of the song with hypnotic vocals. Kahiem Rivera quickly joins in as his voice will grab you and draw you in. He pronounces every word perfectly and his way of rapping is meticulous because he wants you to listen to what he’s actually saying. On “This Night Last Year,” Rivera tells a tale of staying out late- the conflict between exciting and “I need to stop going out…what am I living for?” feeling.
Admits Rivera:
I fell into a long depression last winter, during a leg injury from getting hit by a car. Once I was semi-healthy again, I started going out a lot to this one bar to get out of that rut. Just being there almost every night, till 4am, binge drinking with a lot of people who didn’t seem to have a care in the world. It almost felt like the club in San Junipero, from Black Mirror. So the song is balancing the feeling of having genuine fun but also an existential “wtf am I doing?
If you have seen that episode of Black Mirror, then you will recognize the direct correlation to the songs reference.

Moving into the limelight after releasing her debut album is 90’s inspired band Soccer Mommy with the newest music video for one of her most popular tracks, “Cool”. Opening with a scene set in the middle of what appears to be a high school soccer field, the music video immediately envelops and intrigues the watcher to continue watching. From the beginning, the bright, crisp colors juxtapose the relaxed vibe of the track. Not only does this highlight the song’s unique sound, but also creates a clever visual spectacle that definitely shows signs of 90’s influences. Not only do the colors enhance the viewing experience, but the animations, created by Art Baby Girl, are clever and perfectly match the atmosphere of the music.
Soccer Mommy definitely has a bright future within her own sphere of cool, collected artistry that she have built for herself. Although she has hit a home run since the release of the full-length album, she has continued to chase after what seemed like such an elusive dream. This same principle is manifest in the quality of her music video, which is absolutely stunning. With the fire burning bright, there is no question that there is solid potential moving forward for Soccer Mommy.

Full of life and that 80’s vibe that fans can’t get enough of is newest single, “Little Mystery” from Matthew Meade’s newest project, Spritzer. With fans waiting on the edges of their seats in anticipation of his next full-length album Love. Lies. Decay—which comes out on April, 27—they are also just eating up this single. Although there is a familiarity in his catchy new sound, Spritzer adds a unique twist to the wide array of genres that they pull inspiration from. Ranging from indie rock to bossa nova, “Little Mysteries” has everything that the fans are both wanting and expecting.
When speaking of where inspiration for this song came from, Meade makes it clear that it was brought about by the blissful new relationship that has budded since the release of some of his older tracks. In his own words Meade considers it the “fun and shamelessly cheesy love song,” of the album. “Little Mystery,” is by far the most energetic and upbeat song on the upcoming album and has a nice spin on what fans might of expected out of this budding artist. Now that he has once again expanded his repertoire, we are all waiting to see what Matthew Meade has in store for the future of Spritzer.

Lines has released their new video for their song “You”. The music video for “You” consists of great visuals that capture the songs essence. In the video , two lovers are seen being physical and there is a bit of knife play involved.
“You” shows the love between two lovers. Sometimes love can be addictive almost as if it is something you constantly need in your life if you have ever felt it. The lovers in the music video display their love for one another in a different way. The song is a great representation of a dark love connection and how unhealthy relationships can be. The video shows how toxic your relationship can be no matter how much you are in love.

Lunar hits the mark with her song “Miss U No More”, starting off with a soft beat as Lunar’s voice adds on to the track. The song is really good and at the end believe me when I say it will leave you wanting more. Lunar shows off her musical talent in the song, letting her vocals shine through the track.
The song is about the singer no longer missing her lover. The singer in the beginning seems like she misses her lover as the song goes on you learn that she in fact does not. Lunar understands the reasons why the relationship is over and comes to the conclusion that the relationship is over and it is some what her fault.
“Miss U No More” is a great song for those trying to get over a relationship. The song is well worth the listen, solidifying Lunar’s spot in music.

Bdrmm (yes that is their name) just relased their latest track “Kare.” “Kare” has a very hazey feel to it. However, it also has that familiar 90’s-teenange-pop feel to it that we all know and love. It sounds like an unlikely mixture but Bdrmm manages to make it work on “Kare.” Bdrmm’s songwriter Ryan Smith gives his take on “Kare” saying:
“kare” was written inevitably after a night out. I had gotten the wrong impression from somebody and it turned out my feelings were being taken advantage of just so they didn’t have to stay in on a Saturday night.” This feeling is transferred into lyrics such as “If I stay would you even care, if I leave would you even care.”
“Kare” is inspired by an unfortuanate event, but a great song came of it.

Transylvanian producer and singer Jinka has just dropped her fourth single, “Countdown Forever”, a wonderfully original and perfectly eccentric track. Jinka puts out what she calls “happy trip pop”, and that about sums up her sound. Original, eclectic, and thoroughly fun, Jinka knows how to make a song all her own. Having previously released a few more tracks, Jinka is back better than ever with her new single. Dripping with sonic color and upbeat electronic sounds, “Countdown Forever” will wake you up and shake off all the boring and mundane.
Says Jinka of her new single: “Countdown Forever is about an illusional state of infinite hedonistic experience. The title is paradoxical. But just because something is paradoxical it doesn’t mean you can’t explore the idea of it. I think, what I generally do when I’m writing is that I try to take a different perspective on the mundane, dip crude reality into some sort of surreal glossing, romanticize it without smoothening the contours.”
Jinka certainly pulls of her description of the song, and takes the listener for an journey on her original soundscape.
“Countdown Forever” is a track you won’t want to miss, so give it a listen today.

Pennsylvanian indie singer-songwriter Kyle Meadows is gearing up to release his third album, Crossing Corners on May 1, following the release of his 2015 debut, False Charmers, and his sophomore Self Titled record. The title track, “Crossing Corners”, was just released a week ago. While Meadows has only been putting records out for the past three years, he’s been playing guitar and songwriting since his early teenage years, beginning to take a genuine interest in putting out his own music in 2012. A gentle track featuring Meadows’ soothing vocals and well-balanced instrumentals, “Crossing Corners” is the ultimate indie acoustic track. “Crossing Corners” combines careful lyricism with Meadows’ moving, clear vocal capability.
Says Meadows of the track, “Crossing Corners” is a recycled song. I wrote it while I was still in high school, but it never had a chorus and the melody was totally different. I always knew there was something special about it so I would always come back to it. It wasn’t until about two years ago, when it all kind of fell into place though. After demo-ing it, I knew it had potential.”
