Nate Mercereau debuts “Joy Techniques” video, debut album out July 12
Mercereau tells Flaunt, “My album is titled Joy Techniques because it explores the idea of going as far as manufacturing positivity when you have to. Making and performing this record is an intentional creation of that space. I wanted the visuals for the album to expand upon this idea through the lens of different directors with each video exploring a different take on what it means to be intentional about your own joy. For the ‘Joy Techniques’ video, Miko Revereza and I found it in the bursting vibrancy of spring in Los Angeles after a particularly wet winter. Shot on 16 mm film with a Bolex over the course of a sunny spring day in Elysian Park, Miko truly captures the ecstatic sizzle of this song in his visuals. The way he films is similar to how I record as well—first takes, following the inspiration, intuition over technique.”
Ada Lea Debuts “mercury” Video via The FADER Feature
To Levy—who is also a painter—music and visual art are different vessels for communicating similar ideas. “It’s a world that I can build around me and sit inside,” she says. Through all her art, Levy explores the concept of womanhood as it feels and looks to her, as well as love and how it transforms over time. She doesn’t shy away from exploring uncomfortable and painful emotions, either. With the brightness of love, strength, and hope contrasted with the darkness of loss, suffering, isolation, and abandonment, the Ada Lea album what we say in private is a varied and vivid record that constantly seems to shift in the light, bringing together all the intricate influences she’s collected over the years.

Smokepurpp Hosts a Raucous Bunker Party in the “Walk On Water” Video
Bringing a chaotic energy into any room he enters, Smokepurpp isn’t too hard to throw down on the dance floor. Showing off some of his most animated moves, Purpp shares the video for “Walk On Water.” Riding a hyperactive beat, marked by horror-movie pianos and clattering hi-hats, Purpp flashes several different flows and reels off a few tweet-worthy witticisms. In the video, Purpp and his friends retreat into a windowless bunker, but the dreary location doesn’t stop them from losing their minds–Purpp totes guns, enjoys the company of models, and dances his ass off. “Walk On Water” is a highlight from Lost Planet 2.0, an expansion of his recent Lost Planet EP, and it follows the otherworldly video for “Repeat”. Featuring appearances from Lil Pump, Gunna, and NLE Choppa, Lost Planet 2.0 arrives via Alamo/Interscope.

Galactic Protector’s debut LP, ‘Evening’, will see a June 28 release via UK boutique label Burning Witches Records (Daniel Davies, Deadly Avenger).
The Late Ones Drop New Single “Tell Me Not”!
Born in Gardena, California and based out of Laie, Hawaii, The Late Ones harness something undeniably special. Brothers Tui Avei (Lead vocals), and Tau Avei (Vocals), along with cousin Josh Brunson (Vocals), are the voices of the group. Rooted in Samoan culture, and complemented by the group’s African American heritage, the familial bond between the three members transcends throughout the group’s conscious lyrics and catchy melodies. The name “The Late Ones” pays tribute to all of the late, great revolutionaries who have come and gone like Bob Marley, Tupac, Jimi Hendrix, Steve Biko, and John Lennon, just to name a few. It is the fusion of each revolutionary story, struggle, and message that inspires and resonates with The Late Ones’ own story, struggle, and love for all genres of music. That is the “L81Z” sound.
