Multi-hyphenate Miles Brown released the music video for “Entourage” today, off his debut hip hop album, We The Future, out now.

In the video for the track, Miles — who currently stars as the lovable Jack Johnson in ABC’s Emmy-nominated comedy series Black-ish — shows us he’s still just a typical teen who enjoys hanging with his boys as they hoop and shop for sneakers.

Space Kamp Releases New Video for “Summer of Love”
For Space Kamp, “Summer of Love came from a few inspirations. It’s an ode to the Grateful Dead and the concert parking lot/Shakedown street culture that we love. Deadheads will hear the references throughout the song, hopefully the boys will hear it too and dig it! We also took a lot of inspiration from touring. We are still playing small venues and bars throughout North America so we are able to meet people and connect on a personal level.”

EXISTENTIAL INDIE ROCKER ELLE BELLE EXAMINES LIFE IN THE MIDDLE LANE WITH “EVERYONE KNOWS (BUT THEY WON’T TELL YOU)”
Los Angeles based songwriter and composer Elle Belle has released “Everyone Knows…” the second single from his third full-length album Post Everything due out on November 13th via Little Record Company. “Everyone Knows…” was written about the impossible feat of trying to be everything to everyone and not excelling at any of it. There is so much time spent switching lanes that we end up in the middle of the road and Elle Belle is asking how many of us feel this way? Elle Belle’s lyrics are straightforward statements such as. “I’m too strange to follow, But not desperate enough to fold I’m too scared to let go, But so miserable in control….and Everyone Knows but they won’t tell you.” This is a refreshingly honest song in a world where we are consuming life’s highlight reels on social media …instead of the truth. But don’t we all feel like this?

Orla Gartland Debuts Bold New Single “Pretending”
“Conversations with strangers are exhausting when everyone’s playing a part and God knows I’ve been guilty of it,’ explains Gartland of her new single. “‘Pretending’ is a song about being done with putting on an act for other people. I worked on the song a lot over lockdown and really valued the time I had to pour into it, though it did feel odd to work on a song about being at a party when parties feel like a distant memory. I wanted the heart of the song to feel like you’ve separated yourself from the group and cut away all the chaos around you, only to be left with your own voice.”

It’s in those moments of transformation that we feel the sharpest edges of our humanity and it’s also when we find our truest strength.
