MIRANDA GLORY RELEASES A NEW MUSIC VIDEO FOR HER LATEST SINGLE “HYPOCHONDRIAC”

Los Angeles-based artist Miranda Glory has released a brand new music video for her latest single “Hypochondriac.” Born from Glory’s obsession with WebMD, this track explores the interesting parallels between the fear of diseases and the anxieties we experience in relationships. During a late night songwriting session with a few close friends, she wrote the lyrics to visually convey these feelings, and laid them over a catchy melody syncopated with beats. Directors Dri Sommer and Nicol Biesek said of the video’s concept, “We wanted to create a world for the viewers to embark on our version of a hypochondriac’s surreal, emotional journey. The first line of the song “I make something out of nothing” was the initial inspiration which led us to explore the different stages of paranoia and anxiety in the context of a manipulative romantic connection.”

18 year old EBHONI drops new dancehall song + video (prod. by Salva)

“I live in the most multicultural city dominated by Caribbean influences. My background is Caribbean and I grew up listening to old school dancehall/reggae and as soon as I heard this track with the old school sound effects and baseline, I was sprung!!! The production put me in a place of feeling bossy; Lyrically it came easy because the production set the mood. The song is about me or other females knowing what they want, being in control and not being ashamed of it. There is also a huge cocky/confident element to the song ‘Fucking with you saying I’mma call yeah’ and warning the guy that you are baddest and he WILL fall hard for you.” – EBHONI
