Cat Clyde Announces New Album ‘Down Rounder’ out Feb 17 | “Mystic Light” Single + Video

Like her “nature punk” contemporary Hurray for the Riff Raff, Clyde’s malleable singing voice—spanning an appealing twang to a lovely, plaintive croon—and contemplative, poetic lyricism espouse an essential connection between our spiritual center and the natural world that surrounds us. “The album is an exploration and expression of self, patterns in the natural and unnatural world, connecting to nature, the turning wheel of life, shedding old selves, embracing new selves, and the ever changing, expanding and contracting nature of love and life,” she explains.
Rising Folk-Pop Songstress ALICIA BLUE Declares ‘I Want It Faster’ in Punchy New Anthem; Self-Directed iPhone Video Clip Out Today
“There’s a killer, a killer, hooked on me/There’s a finger, a trigger, won’t let me be/There’s a pressure, decidin’ how to be true/But, how can you be when the killer is you?.” folk-pop siren Alicia Blue contemplates on her new single, “I Want It Faster,” asking some tough questions and laying out an interior dilemma that’s all too familiar: the urge to act. Now. Sooner. Faster. Even though it might not yet be the right time. It’s the anatomy of self sabotage. The third single from the Los-Angeles-to-Nashville transplant’s forthcoming EP, Inner Child Work PT. 2 (out January 20 via Magnetic Moon), which caused Rocking Magpie to recently observe, “Blue could easily go the pop singer route—she has the voice for it and effortlessly writes sweet melodies,” features a stylish video (which premieres today on YouTube), which was shot and directed by Alicia herself.

Yesterday, Decibel Magazine premiered an early stream of the EP saying, “In the crazy, mixed-up music world of the early ’90s when bands like Unsane, Melvins and Helmet found their way onto major labels, the ugly monstrosity that is AmRep-style noise rock was suddenly given a mainstream platform.

OUT TODAY: New EP from Minnesota-born, NYC-based LGBTQ+, alt/pop songwriter, William Maus Premiered via Celebmix
Growing up in a conservative town, when Maus was twelve years old, the music director of his church was forced to resign for marrying a man. This led him into years of silence and suppression of his own sexuality, and ultimately the guilt of watching it happen and staying silent. In his senior year of high school, he traveled around the country competing with his original speech confronting the stereotypes of gay men steroetypically having “gay voices”. He was named the 2020 Harvard International Champion in Informative Speaking, as well as the NSDA National Champion in the same category. This was the introduction to the acknowledgment of his sexuality, but it was still missing his story. In January of 2021 he moved to NYC, started therapy, and found himself in his songwriting. He released his first single “BENEFIT” this past June, which was streamed in over 40 countries in the first two weeks alone. “It was the ignition of the ability to see my own boldness and avoidance of the truth” he says. William Maus made his live show debut with MajorStage at The Meadows in Williamsburg on October 18th.
