Jen Janet Releases New Single “I Don’t Belong”
Released with a corresponding music video, “I Don’t Belong” expands upon the goth-rock sound she presented on her previous single, “Possession.” Falling down a continuous rabbit hole of evolution, she finds herself in a natural pocket of power on “I Don’t Belong.” Self-described as a ‘multimedia musical project,’ Jen Janet has long-term industry experience as both a solo artist and front woman, as well as in fashion, makeup, photography, and videography. Built upon darker imagery, her new music highlights a noticeable shift in genres – her last solo EP, released in 2017, was a focused pop record. “I Don’t Belong” is both captivating and enticing – perfectly representative of where Jen Janet is at in her career.

“This is a celebration of the things that make us different. It’s like we’re painting a picture. In color theory, there are three primary colors. In songwriting, it’s similar, because you have happiness, sadness, and anger. Those colors are very easy to paint with. However, we’re trying to paint with as many different colors as possible to tap into more nuanced feelings, which are harder to describe with words. It’s interpretive and meant to transport you somewhere else.”

Anthony da Costa Readies New Album
“I had just been living with three other people in East Nashville, spending the rare moment off the road watching YouTube videos and enjoying a gorgeous wool blanket that I had accidentally stolen from an estranged friend. Soon, there were no friends. There were no gigs. There were no bars, no parties…life itself became something else, in what felt like an instant. Sure, I called people. I cooked every meal at home for once. And, luckily, I had managed to move all of my instruments into the house before the shit hit the fan. But, I hadn’t written much in months. That also changed, fast. Every day, I picked up my acoustic guitar and wrote. I said something. It all felt urgent.”
[pop/electronic/indie] L.A. Duo Mines Falls Release “Hey Mother” Single
Quote from Carson Lund: “Hey Mother” is the earliest song I wrote for the record, and therefore the one that’s most tied to the emotions that swirled around our previous album, Nepenthe. With that collection of songs, I was trying to write very honestly from a place of emotional turmoil, but this song is about landing in a state of acceptance after all of that. The “mother” here is less a reference to my own mother than to a stubborn omniscient spirit to whom I’m trying to communicate some kind of self-reckoning. You might say she’s my conscience as I try to will myself to concede the end of a relationship.
