Kingsbury Shares “Blurry Now” Video Via All Things Go | New Single Out Now
All Things Go has shared the video for Kingsbury’s new single “Blurry Now”. BlackBook originally shared the track. When talking about the track Kingsbury says, “Blurry Now is a rumination on a toxic relationship I had. I gave up my power in so many situations and let it effect me for a year. I wasn’t strong enough to realize what was happening. I didn’t trust myself and how I felt about the situation for so long. I would continually question my feelings and make myself feel crazy. “But you could be so nice. I gave you what you wanted” + “all I know is how I feel but I can be so deceiving.” I feel like the last two songs I’ve released have been all about moving on but this song is the antitheses to those. I wrote this song directly after I wrote my last single All Gone. I was in a really weird up and down period of my life and these two singles represent that.”

Andrew Rinehart shares new single “Interdimensional Nonconversational Inconsequential Love” via LA Record
“Interdimensional Nonconversational Inconsequential Love” is the latest from songwriter Andrew Rinehart. The song is about being a manager at a Best Buy and getting into an intensely pleasurable yet toxic interaction pattern with a customer whom you find yourself developing feelings for. Deep down you know it can never happen, but it’s right there in your face, the beautiful future you would clearly have together. You might even get an inkling that they sense it too. But of course both of you know it’s impossible, and that if you were to realistically follow-through with it the only conclusion would be the total annihilation of everyone involved. And this is the ultimate agony: a life dreamt of and partially tasted, but never fully lived. Perfect ecstasy, just out of reach. In other words, it’s about being stuck in some kind of energetic lock with a person you’ll never actually be able to be with.
