Tei Shi shares new video for “GRIP”; NY and LA headlining shows announced
Colombian-Canadian singer-songwriter and producer Tei Shi returns today with a captivating lyric video for her latest single, “GRIP.” The single served as Tei Shi’s first independent release and touched on the harrowing experience she underwent while in the middle of a strained relationship with her labels at the time. Although “GRIP” was born out of a contentious moment, the single showcases Tei Shi’s relentless and defiant spirit as she steps into her power. The striking visual directed by frequent collaborator Jonatán López depicts the literal chokehold Tei Shi was under as she was dealing with the exploitative facets of the music industry.

Multi-Platinum Artist // Pastel Dipped Anthemic Pop // New Single
On the video, Mimoza confides, “My concept for the video was ‘modern romance.’ I think we often romanticize how beautiful life would be if that one person fell in love with us but what if we romanticized falling in love with ourselves first?” Mimoza teaches us to still wear a crown, even with a broken heart and shows us once again that the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves.

Today, Bret Koontz & Truancy Club (ft. members of Fran, Famous Laughs) announce their new LP, A Sparkle Road Cult, out November 18 via Earth Libraries. The sound at the center of A Sparkle Road Cult is Bret’s voice. It’s an idiosyncratic writer and composer’s voice that has shades of the outsider sounds of Robert Wyatt, Syd Barrett, and Arthur Russell. The accompanying arrangements bring to mind the songcraft of the Carpenters and Prefab Sprout-esque Sophisti-Pop shaken up/down by a touch of the large format boogie of Wings and raw Power Pop of Big Star.
