J.Maurice – ‘Favors’
Favors is a new single from Dallas-based hip hop artist, J. Maurice. After the slick piano intro, J. Maurice gets right to the crux of the matter and declares he’s “a businessman,” and that he’s “through doing favors.” This song is basically an anthem for handlin’ biz and refusing to be taken advantage of. The backbeat features some synths which are notable for their really awesome vibrato and theremin-like effect, reminiscent of music from 70′s haunted house movies. The beat itself is pretty tight and bumping, with good bass levels. J. Maurice has a commanding vocal presence and no nonsense delivery. When the track really kicks in, the listener experiences the full force of his robust sound. Favors is a solid jam that will resonate with people who are tired of getting shafted and distracted at every turn. It’s about getting things done and putting first things first. Keep your eye on the prize.

Composer/Singer-Songwriter Mare Berger (they/them, non-binary) Releases New Track “The Moon is Full”
The Moon is Full is about the sudden loss of a loved one, and the pain and the healing that comes. It’s about the process of letting go and also starting a new life cycle of planting seeds. When in the midst of despair we don’t know for sure if the pain will lighten, but we can plant a seed and hope for it. The mantra at the end, “I pray that the seed will grow,” starts off in a moment of blinded pain, and then starts to really expand into a larger awareness. More and more people start to sing and we know that when we are held in our grief by community, we can get through it. – Mare Berger
