CYDNEE WITH A C SHARES NEW VIDEO FOR “AS LONG AS YOU LOVE ME”
LA-based singer Cydnee With A C returns with a new video for single “As Long As You Love Me” and announces her new EP Confessions of a Fan Girl—out March 23. Premiering today via Paper Magazine, Cydnee’s comic book styled video for “As Long as You Love Me” follows the romantic track’s timely release on Valentine’s Day. Cydnee’s flair for the fantastical and imaginative shines in the new visual, where a giant teddy bear doubles as her symbolic ex-lover in an animated parallel universe. “As Long As You Love Me” finds Cydnee expressing the cautious, yet hopeful experience of falling in love again with shimmery, tuned-up vocals atop a glossy synth melody and frenetic drum and bass-esque beat. This week, the single was featured on BBC 1Xtra’s Alternative Selection with CassKidd’s 10/10 Recommend. On February 20 at 6PM PST, Cydnee will host a livestream performance on her Bandcamp page.

The Heavy release new single ‘I Feel The Love’
Australian Pop Artist KESMAR Shares the Retro-Inspired Single + Video “Is It Me or Is It Love”
“ALWAYS CHASING RAINBOWS is my first full length body of work produced and written entirely by myself at my little home studio – ‘Dino Studios.’ It reminds me of a simpler time, just writing songs and making a damn record. I had quite a loose deadline so there never felt like there was any rush to just smash out a bunch of songs for an album. I really got to take my time and to be completely honest, 50% of it was figuring out how to plug gadgets in. If there is an easy way of recording something or playing a line, I’m going to do the opposite, not in a way of ‘look at me’ but I just like to do things the hard way or ‘impractical way ‘ some would say. After learning how to write songs front to back it quickly became known this is the way I have to do it and it resulted in my favorite batch of songs I’ve ever written.”

Dan Campbell of The Wonder Years share, “I had lunch with my friend Sameer and he told me he was working with this artist named Danny and that I would really like it. A few months later he sent me Mortal Kombat and said he thought I made a lot of sense for the second verse. I pressed play and was floored by how instantaneous the chorus was. The song got stuck in my head on one listen. The hooks were in. They had me. I had to no choice—I had to sing on it.”

I’m a huge fan of Tom Petty and he’s always been a massive inspiration for the music I write, so it’s really cool and fun for me to get to reference and honor his music through this song.”

Courtney Govan Shares New Heartfelt Ballad “at least”
Queer indie-pop riser Courtney Govan has released her latest single “at least,” a heartfelt, strikingly earnest, and melancholic ballad about an unexpected friendship breakup. Reflecting on the artist’s experience of being blindsided by an eight-year relationship ending over text, the track echoes a sincere observation of the grace she would have risen to, had the roles been reversed. But “at least’s” sorrowfulness does not remain stagnant and does not forgo the strength to overcome the feeling of helplessness.
Matt B Releases New Single “Slow Down”

JONO MANSON shares video for his new single featuring Blues Traveler’s John Popper
“‘No New Kind of Blue’ is a duet with my old friend John Popper of Blues Traveler,” says Manson.”We’ve been close collaborators for nearly 35 years, having toured together, recorded several side-projects, co-written numerous songs, and shared many adventures, with plans for more in the future. Most people think of John as one of the greatest harmonica players of all time, and sometimes overlook what an amazing singer he is.This recording really captures all of the nuance of his vocal performance and I love the way our voices blend.
As for the harmonica, he was happy to unplug and sit out on the back porch with his old pal for this one, and the result is intimate and engaging. The song is a co-write with my wife, Caline Welles. It has an underlying message of unity through diversity.”
