Sasha and the Valentines share video for lead-single “Witches” | Announce debut LP, So You Think You Found Love?
“Writing “Witches” started as a chord progression on my Acetone organ and I got hooked on the feel of it. I loved how spooky the organ felt compared to the clean bright tone of the guitar. Lyrically, I wrote the song about past relationships where I had the tendency to psychoanalyze my partners. I felt like a witch that could pull secrets and inner thoughts out of my lovers. It also points to a softer part of me that can always sense when someone is hurting and how I want to take away their problems. The video was inspired by similar themes, along with visual influences ranging from The Love Witch, to Marcel Marceau, to The Addams Family. Shooting on 8mm film gave it an energy of antiquity that fit alongside the slapstick-esque moments.”

New Anthemic Single Give An Inch Take A Mile From Upcoming Artist Derek Crider
claire rousay Announces New LP ‘a softer focus
Experimental musician claire rousay and visual artist Dani Toral have been in each others’ orbit since young adulthood in San Antonio, but it took a decade for them to find A Softer Focus. Before Rousay had put her compositional gray matter to task for the album’s music, she knew she wanted to work with Toral- being familiar with her past work centering her Mexican heritage. Toral’s vibrant color palette and reinterpretations of comfort in oneself and the natural, vegetative world connected easily with her explorations in communication and intimacy. Historically, Rousay primarily operated in non-melodic experimental music, sculpting compositions from obsessive field recordings, inserting voice-to-text, percussion played via text message sounds, conversations, and daily life. By contrast, the six-song collection and collaborative project a softer focus is lush and almost entirely melodic, even veering into pop at a couple points.

Rising Texas Rapper Big Jade Shares a Thunderous New Freestyle
Blessed with a gift for rapidfire rhymes, Texas rapper Big Jade is ready to put her small hometown of Beaumont on the map. Armed with a message for her haters, Jade shares “Before The Deal,” a new freestyle video. Clocking in at just under a minute, “Before The Deal” is a breathless sprint, as Jade shows off her fast-talking flexes and blunt-force bars: “I know that you hot/F*ck what you talkin’ about/You envy that I made it out.” Shot by HalfpintFilmz, the video finds Jade making a literal ascent to accompany her metaphorical rise to the top, as she stunts in her hotel in white stunna shades. “Before The Deal” is Jade’s latest effort since her recent single “Respectfully,” a brash banger featuring “Then Leave” duo Queendome Come and BeatKing (who also produced the track).
