Reece releases new EP 'I'm Not Sure Yet', here's our favorite:

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Reece released his new EP Friday and we’ve had it on repeat all weekend long. Picking a favorite wasn’t easy but if we absolutely had to… ‘Man Down’ comes to mind almost immediately due to Reece’s unique vocal style with this particular track. Blended with a more upbeat melodic instrumental, ‘Man Down’ is not only the perfect track for dancing around, it’s great to kick back and relax to.

However, we recommend you listen to the entire EP from front to back to get the full experience of Reece and how he’s able to not only relax the mind, but deliver an all-out incredible experience that you can’t forget. It’ll take like… 15 minutes of your time and it’s 100% worth it.

Enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"'Man Down' is a song that reflects my journey into adulthood and learning how to navigate the world on my own.” — Reece

[Verse 1]
Eyes like the sun
Your tongue tastes like toothpaste
And peppermint gum

Soft olive skin
Your lips are like cherries
I wanna dive in

You said "take it slow"
But I think I love you
And I want you to know

[Chorus]
Cuz I don’t ever wanna ever be
Not without you baby
No I don’t ever wanna be
Not without you baby

[Verse 2]
This feels like a fairytale
I wanna take you everywhere
Cuz you make me feel so alive
So much I never wanna die

Every time you come around, I get
Lost, can’t even hear a sound
I die for you, baby
I die for you, baby

Every time I see your face, I get
Lost, I’ve never felt this way
I die for you, baby
I die for you, baby

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
I think you’re all I need
I think you’re all I need, forever

[Chorus]

Time is running out
A little less talkin 
There’s other ways to use your
(“ pop”)

There’s other ways
Other ways to
Use your 
Use your mouth

Jay Warren returns with new R&B single 'Felony Love'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

By far, Jay Warren is one of the few artist’s we’ve come across since the launch of G&S that truly puts his whole heart and soul into his lyrics and music. Jay’s lyrical style is as vibrant and as powerful as they come. Something that very few have come to appreciate over the years due to the overflow of bland pop-bobs and overly tweaked auto-tune hooks.

But no, not Jay. When it comes to his music releases, the artist lets the music and his vocal performance work its magic… and for us, it works every-time. Don’t forget to subscribe to Jay Warren online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“Felony Love is interesting because it’s a natural oxymoron. From the title, to the way the music and vocals juxtapose the lyrics. The song speaks to a dysfunctional relationship in which the narrator feels trapped by the love he has for his significant other. The concept of Felony Love is twofold. The narrator feels as though his partner should be charged with Felony, while also realizing the level of love he feels is so overwhelming it should be a crime. He wrestles with the idea of leaving the relationship and why that may be the best option. The music and vocal performance, however, paint a very different picture. The production immerses the listener in the passion and heated romance of the relationship.” — Jay Warren

Have you seen Kaien Cruz's music video for 'Dangerous' yet? Watch it here!

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

The incredible Kaien Cruz graced our platform with her new song ‘Dangerous’ and we’ve been obsessed, ever since. When Cruz’s team reached out to share the accompanying music video, we knew we had to share it with our readers.

“I wrote ‘Dangerous’ during a very frustrating time in my life. I’d just realized that a lot of people in this industry that I thought had my back, actually didn’t. So this song is about those people and other things in my life that I thought were good for me, but were only holding me back.” - KAIEN CRUZ

Whether you’re blown away by Kaien Cruz’s voice or the artist’s beautiful and well-written vocal style… the music video will surely seal the deal. A cinematic masterpiece that delicately re-writes the tone and ambiance of the song in a way that elevates the song’s overall magic. We love what Cruz is doing and we look forward to covering more from the artist in the coming months.

You're going to love this music video from Abby Diamond — 'Irrelevant'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Okay, before our brains explode with out awesome this track is, allow us to at-least explain why.

‘Irrelevant' is the latest from singer/songwriter Abby Diamond. Their new song highlights some of Abby’s rich lyrical writing style and her smooth, angel-like voice.

Also, if you’re a fan of slow, future-like R&B, the track has a really spacey and colorful soundscape that you won’t be able to turn off. The drums are crisp and sharp and the little details throughout the production really make the track pop out to us.

And last but definitely not least, what Abby did with the visuals is both creative and inspiring. We love the direction she took color, look, and design-wise and we absolutely love the cinematography. I think you can safely consider us a fan after seeing all of this and we honestly can’t wait to see where she goes from here.
