new single: Don’t Talk Just Kiss by Peter Piek
Imagine a dance- & party superhit of the 90ies sung as a lullaby. Imagine 90ies on the noselove lyrics of an original version becoming a naive mantra for a peaceful world. Here we are with „Don’t Talk Just Kiss” from Peter Piek.
Sometimes there is this one line of a 90s hit you hear again by accident. And suddenly you understand what that song was really all about eventually. Because back then – 30 years ago – you were too young to know anything about love, passion or what it means when tongues are fooling around. Thinking to yourself: Oh my gosh – no wonder that one was a smash hit.

TYLER BOOTH SHARES NEW TRACK “REAL REAL COUNTRY”
“When I wrote ‘Real Real Country’ I was really just having fun with it and not putting too much pressure on myself as a songwriter,” Booth said. “To me this song bridges a lot of things – modern country to traditional country, and even country music to a little bit of hip-hop. I had a lot of fun experimenting with different kinds of music and seeing where I could land that thing and still be true to myself. I’m really proud of this song because I wrote it by myself, and I think it really reflects who I am as an artist and where I’m heading.”

GRAMMY®-NOMINATED ARTIST MASEGO SHARES NEW SINGLE, “TWO SIDES”
“I love games. Do I ever. ‘Two Sides’ make the next person that is involved with me aware of, I guess, the demons that I’m trying to fight,” says Masego. “Geminis have a bad rep. And I was letting her know that I have the potential to move in this manner because of my past and hurt. There’s no silver lining in this song. It’s just like, ‘I could be a bad guy and I could get what I want with my slick words and my seductive beguiling ways.’”

The Runaway Grooms Release Genre-Blending Roots Rock LP “This Road”
Equally inspired by jazz-fusion exploration from the likes of Steely Dan, Atlanta Rhythm Section, and Yes, and the guitar-driven prowess of Allman Brothers Band, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Grateful Dead, The Runaway Grooms’ new album, This Road, dives in and out of grooves and moods, turning on a dime, but always focusing on what the band sees as the most important aspect; the song. Oh, and keeping the crowd on their dancing feet. Released today, This Road finds the Grooms—guitarist and vocalist Adam Tobin, keyboardist Cody Scott, bassist and vocalist Zach Gillam, drummer Justin Bisset, and guitarist and vocalist Zac Cialek—not only telling stories and gleaning wisdom from life, love, and struggle, but also capturing an array of emotions and moods drawn from living on the road in a hard-touring band. All of these sounds and stories were captured at Paloma Sound Studios in Memphis, Tennessee, with former Ardent Studio engineer Jeremy Horn.
