Audrey Releases “Comic Sans” ft. Jack Harlow With Official Music Video
Following her recent critically acclaimed releases, “Paper” and “Time”, rising Korean-American R&B singer Audrey continues the hype with a telling statement of intent for the end of the year – “Comic Sans” ft. Louisville rapper, Jack Harlow. The song is accompanied by an official music video featuring both artists and was shot in New York City.
Says Audrey, “I’ve been a fan of Jack’s voice since I heard ‘Eastern Parkway’ off Gazebo in 2017. I remember I was at a 100 Gecs show when he first DM’d me the take of his verse, and I literally left the mosh pit to listen. It was fire, and we shot his part of the video while he was on tour in New York. He had an hour to knock out the scenes and we did in 45 minutes.”

Hinging on a hummable groove, glistening production and thick beats reverberate throughout the dance-driven ballad alongside impressive vocal performances. The energy manifests most clearly in the falsetto-punctuated hook, “Lock me away in the middle of the night…you got me.”
Eyedress shares his new “Jealous” video
Regarding the song, Eyedress stated: ““Jealous is a song I made earlier this year about trying not to be possessive. It was also one of the first songs I recorded on my new Japanese Teisco guitar. I was really excited when I first made it because I haven’t had much time to just sit down and come up with a new riff, but that one came to me so easily. It was recorded in my bedroom in Silverlake and the video was filmed by BRVINFREEZE. We filmed on a nice sunny day in Venice beach; basically went out with my bandmate Zahara and skateboarder friend Kane The Menace and just filmed a bunch of clips of us skating around Venice beach along with shots of me and Zahara busking and performing the song live for passers-by.”
EDEN SHARES NEW SONG “LOVE, DEATH, DISTRACTION”
V Magazine says, “‘love, death, distraction’ is a hauntingly beautiful slow jam that doubles as a reflection of our relationship with our phones, brought to life by the strums of a guitar and Ng’s euphonious ennui…(The track) packs a melancholic punch while simultaneously bringing on a sense of warm and fuzzy (while) the accompanying music video—is set against a picturesque landscape that will kick your wanderlust into overdrive. As with everything he creates, EDEN’s thoughtful and methodical approach can be both seen and felt. His knack for succeeding at it is what all great artists should aspire to.”

Mary Chapin Carpenter debuts new single “Our Man Walter Cronkite”
Of the song, Carpenter shares, “Growing up, Walter Cronkite was in our house Monday through Friday, presenting the news as The Most Trusted Man In America, as he was known in his time. My parents raised us to believe that people in jobs like Cronkite’s told the truth; they raised us to believe in a world that reaches out to those who need help, that does not turn away from those less fortunate, or homeless, or those forced to leave their country because of the threat of violence, poverty and persecution. The arms were there to hold them, the eyes to see them, and the hearts of the world were there to love them. Because that was the right thing. It’s a different time now. I miss my parents, and I miss Walter Cronkite.”
