Aussie artist, Kyle Lionhart makes sense of the chaos in new track, “So Close” / RIYL Hozier, Vance Joy
Kyle discloses, “I wrote this song In the midst of chaos. I was lost, I didn’t know what my next step was, what direction I was heading or why. Everything was bubbling up, all my past decisions, mistakes, we’re haunting me again, everything I thought I had built a solid foundation under started falling apart. And it all started with an argument with someone I love and look up to.”

Remix: Comethazine – “Walk” ft. A$AP Rocky
One of the new generation’s titans of turn-up, Comethazine is rapidly blowing up. In 2018, Comethazine released “Walk,” a woozy and speaker-knocking banger, which grew into a massive hit, with more than 103 million streams on all platforms. Today, Comethazine recruits A$AP Rocky for the “Walk” remix. Rocking a triplet flow atop the track’s flickering and see-sawing synths, Rocky provides a perfect counterweight to Comethazine’s manic bursts of aggression. Premiered by Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 Radio, “Walk” Remix arrives via Alamo/Interscope.

Audio Releases ‘Frog March’ on Snake Pit Records
‘Frog March’ follows the same roots maneuvers which made Audio a crucial force during his rise to infamy, however it brings these movements through a contemporary angle. The track is rolling, yet it features stabs which add the record’s carved hooks. ‘Frog March’ becomes more and more overbearing; it steadily grows in a way that pays homage to the times where cuts were allowed to breathe. Its sudden switches keep it interesting, once again highlighting that despite Audio’s penchant for chaotic beats, he’s still able to craft a track that breaks away from standard patterns. With shattering LFOs and steppy arpeggios, ‘Frog March’ is aggressive in its breakdowns but also industrious in its make-up. Thumping drums take you out into the mix and you’re left to feel blow after blow of its heavy subs. The intimidating depth of ‘Frog March’ alongside its relentless undercurrent make this a classic Audio track. There was no better way to reveal what Audio has been doing in the background – this year will be about Snake Pit Records and a release schedule which stretches out across the summer.

AJ McLean (BSB) Releases Emotional New Video for Single “Boy And A Man”!
AJ McLean has released the moving video for his gorgeous new single, “Boy And A Man” today! The video, produced and directed by René Elizondo is a beautiful tribute to everlasting love and the bond between two people who grow together, live with and for one another, and the devastating reality that time will eventually separate even the strongest of love. The aesthetically stunning “Up” inspired video was filmed at Disney’s Golden Oak Ranch and features a cameo from McLean’s real life wife Rochelle McLean. The video also has an epic twist with McLean taking on a very special (and surprising!) role… This is a definite must see! Catch the video now on CMT and CMT Music.

The track debuted via The 405 where the band’s Andy Peña detailed, “‘My Moon’ is a love song to my wife. No matter what our lives throw at us she’s always there, like the moon, leading me in a calm way.

John Shakespear To Release Debut Album “Spend Your Youth” on May 10
Nashville-based, Boston-bred indie-folk songwriter John Shakespear is releasing his much-anticipated debut album Spend Your Youth on May 10th. Walking a fine line between the personal and the political, Spend Your Youth’s origins are a coming-of-age story. As a lot of our most classic stories begin, Shakespear’s coming-of-age happened amidst a time of escalating national division and social unease; a time where ideas of clarity or merriment or self are few and far between. Spend Your Youth opens with the line “nineteen ninety-four—precious years we had between the wars”, giving listeners an immediate idea of where these songs come from.
