Saturday October 1, 2022
“Am I Broken” – meadowhip
Australia
Have you ever done some self-reflection after a breakup to realise you have the tendency to carry your own baggage from relationship to relationship? Australian R&B/pop songstress, Cara Walkam, aka meadowhip presents a sultry take on the topic in her single “Am I Broken”!
“This song is about owning your mess and your part in the breakdown of your relationships, and finding a bit of comedy in it all. Am I broken? Indeed I am, a lot of the time, and I mean, who isn’t? But surely admitting to your flaws is almost as good as not having any, right?” – meadowhip

“It’s Not Too Late” – Ray Curenton ft. LC
Nashville, TN
Sonically a combination of ’90s R&B and a massive chorus with a modern Motown feel, Nashville-based R&B singer/songwriter, Ray Curenton emerged from his seven-year hiatus from music to bless our ears with his single “It’s Not Too Late” featuring LC!
Ray Curenton is an artist with preferential concern for the physical and spiritual welfare of the most marginalized in our society. Ray’s mission is to position himself within the traditions of The Weavers, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Nina Simone, Bob Dylan, and Arlo Guthrie as a modern cultural worker and storyteller of the struggle of this generation, weaving spirituality and art into political consciousness.

“The Feeling’s Mutual” – Emmrose
United States
You know those toxic friendships you know you have to get away from, no matter how much it hurts? Those two-faced friends that criticise everything you do and back stab you every chance they get? American songstress, Emmrose has unveiled her highly-relatable, melodic and powerful single, “The Feeling’s Mutual” based on these experiences.
I wrote the “The Feelings Mutual” shortly after the friendship had ended. I was at the recording studio building rooftop, and my friend just started sending me rude messages about my music. At that point, I had enough. She wasn’t a true friend. It was a toxic friendship in so many ways, and it feels really good to have written a song about it and to finally let go. I was done feeling insecure about my music, and I wanted all my friends to be supportive of what I was passionate about. – Emmrose
Amen.

“I’ll Be Okay” JMSEY ft. Beck Pete
United States
It’s interesting how modern dating often feels like we’re constantly feeling the highs of dating someone new, and the lows of breaking up. Insatiably chasing “greener pastures”, in the hopes of landing “the one”… whatever that means these days.
Alt-pop artist JMSEY has joined forces with popular indie pop darling Beck Pete in their hard-hitting single “I’ll Be Okay”. “I’ll Be Okay” cleverly taps into the complexities of the modern dating world driven by new relationship dynamics. Often fueled by dating apps, the ‘grass is always greener’ mentality tends to drive decisions about who to date, how to date and how long to stay with your current partner.
JMSEY is an L.A.-based, Asian-American multi-instrumentalist by way of London. He owes his gritty pop sound to his bi-contnental upbringing. The tone of British pop blaring in his ears while growing up, blended with his love of American alternative bands played a heavy hand in shaping his current energy and soundscape.

“There’s been a theme in the four singles I’ve released this year about breaking free from the cycle of a toxic relationship,” Fior reveals. “Young love is confusing and challenging. “Serotonin” is the final nail in the coffin of that relationship. I’m alright and don’t want to try again, which was my feeling that I was finally over it.“ –FIOR on “Serotonin”
