Ruth Koleva Announces Release of ‘This Christmas’

Ruth Koleva has led a prolific career leading up to her Warner Music debut. After growing up in Bulgaria in the after math of the collapse of the USSR, she and her family moved around extensively. These travels through Europe and Asia gave her a complex view on humanity, and inspired her to become a voice for underrepresented people across the world. She has since become particularly successful in her home country, where her single ‘Salty’ was the 3rd most played song of the year. Many of her other singles have constantly painted a presence in the Top 10, making her one of Bulgaria’s most recognized voices.

Bridal Party Share New Single “Pool” via chorus.fm | Look Out for More Music + New Album This Winter

“Pool”, the second single by art-pop quintet Bridal Party from their forthcoming LP Cool Down outlines the joy and challenge of coming out of your shell after periods of isolation. The lyrics of “Pool” were penned by guitarist Joseph Leroux in a demo in early 2019, their mantra-like simplicity inspired by the Porches album of the same name. “I wanted the lyrics to feel potent and understated. They were written with building myself up in mind, in a time when I was looking for a lot of validation from other people. I wanted to remind myself with a song, of the value of choosing yourself and choosing periods of quiet, before coming back into your communities.”

Submission for Skope Magazine – Single Out Today

“Holy Water” is a dark alternative rock song meant for this time of year, with the sun setting earlier and earlier. It’s about making the best of what often feels like a world that is continuing to fall apart. The song ebbs and flows, and builds to an all-encompassing sonic cloudburst.

Cautious Clay Shares EP “Thin Ice on the Cake”

“I’ve always loved working with juxtapositions in my music”, said Cautious. “Conceptually Thin Ice on the Cake relates to being on the edge of something really bad as we grow nearer to death, but birthdays are also about celebrating the positives and joys of life. The cake is a great symbol of that.”

Malibu Babie Releases Debut Mixtape ‘Malibu Babie SZN Vol 1’

“Most songs about unrequited love come from an energy of being sad because you can’t have the one you want, so I wanted to make something that flipped that classic idea on its head that you can shake your ass to,” shares Malibu Babie on her new song. “I don’t resonate at all with the classical societal ideals that tell females, especially, that their value is tied directly into their relationship status…that’s not how we live in the Malibu Babie universe! Making a song about wanting a guy to literally leave you alone because your life is so full without them felt so badass to me. Shoutout to my independent babies with high standards!”

R&B songwriter and producer: VIA releases EP, Hallucinating POV

This release is a dual EP concept, EP1 and EP2 are in contrast to each other. EP1 is called ‘Hallucinating POV’ as the main theme is a hallucination of love. I see the endless sky ‘In Your Eyes’. ‘Catch 22’ gives you butterflies, feeling insecure and mood swings in between extreme ecstasy and melancholy. You came into my life ‘just in time’. With no doubt, I will ‘Wait For You’ to make up your mind. ‘Let Loose’ is letting go of all the burdens and pressures from the insecurity that love brings along. Finally, Let’s get lost, I’m blinded by the night and the ‘Neon Light’. “So…Romance… Does perfect love exist? Or is it just in my head? Blinded by this beautiful yet deadly butterfly, it covers my eyes, my nose, my ears… I just want to drown in it”

THE LAST REIGN Release New Single “Sands of Fate”

Melodic death metal band, THE LAST REIGN have revealed their new single “Sands of Fate” via Decibel Magazine. The track is from their upcoming album Endangered Pieces which will be released on February 24th, 2023.

The band comments “The initial idea for our collaboration with Jesse Isadore was to put a three song EP together which would feature one original and two covers. The new song would also appear on his upcoming solo album and then we would each choose one cover. A version of this song has been around since the bands inception back in 2015. It has come a long way in it’s development since then but there are still some remnants of the original demo version. Blending melodic death with a progressive metalcore sound to compliment Jesse’s vocal stylings. He is a tremendous vocalist and it was a pleasure working with him!”
