Cuban-born singer-songwriter now living in New-York — shares a video for his single ‘Part of You’!

Go Down The Rabbit Hole With SUR & The New Video “VISIONS”

SUR’s desert infused, alt/anthems are laced with a hip-hop spirit and a dash of electronic mysticism that can only come from the brain of LA based artist, producer, visual creator and all-around renaissance man, Zack Arnett. His new single “VISIONS” written and produced by Arnett and mixed by Rob Cohen, came to be when he was roving for inspiration in the desert and found it while in an altered state of consciousness where light and dark danced. The end result was a playful, sonic trip that feels, warm, guttural and almost tribal.

Kev Kelly “Everything’s on Fire”

Everything’s on Fire is the new single by New Jersey singer and bouncy stage performer Kev Kelly. The single is taken from his debut EP release Saint KDK V. The young writer says, ” I wanted to show I’m capable of doing more than just one style in this EP – and there’s variety from one song to the next. Each track presents a setting and a plot as if it was a mini movie, while containing a common thread throughout the EP. A relationship beginning in Neighbors, it being on the rocks in Oh My My, it ending in Everything’s on Fire and looking back on the relationship with regret, heartache and love in Soon.”
