Premiere: Singer-Songwriter Dejhare Brings New Color to the Summer with Her New EP “Plead the Fifth”

Singer-songwriter Dejhare announces the imminent release of a brand-new EP, “Plead the Fifth”, featuring five exclusive dance-pop tracks sprinkled with the sounds of the ’80s and en-riched with world beats to create tracks full of energy and feeling and adorned with rich and interesting lyrics.

Plead The Fifth” is a special EP from Dejhare that she wrote with what she calls“our collective vulnerability” in mind. It addresses the complexities of navigating today’s increasingly complex world from both an emotional, spiritual, and intellectual perspective. Dejhare emphasizes that she is stepping away from judgment in “Plead the Fifth” but is equally notal-lowing herself to be judged, and no one else should either. In essence, the EP is about us all being in this together, and by extension, it empowers and frees the individual. The EP opens with “TakeFive”, an ethereal dance track that makes you feel like you are experiencing the weightlessness of space while rousing us to celebrate life and take time to smell the roses, so to speak. “Skeletons” is a markedly faster and more energetic track that gives no quarter to people who refuse to take responsibility for their choices and their actions, with its gorgeous driving melody and to-the-point lyrics making it clear that the singer expects people to hold themselves to higher standards. “Perception” is a beautiful track that asks us to let go of outdated notions like discrimination and human rights abuses in the face of our fast-paced technological development, and bring the things that matter to the forefront in our lives. “Not Alone” is a heartfelt dance anthem that empowers those of us who are marginalized and discriminated for whatever reason and encourages us to take flight, while the final and title track “Plead the Fifth” is a warm and encouraging dance track that cheekily suggests that though we may not all beliving the life we want, we can take heart in our general collective misadventure, and we are far from irredeemable.

One of Dejhare’s greatest assets as a songwriter is her ability to tell any story with relatable and engaging lyrics all wrapped in catchy and infectious melodies. Her impressive and growing portfolio, built over a very short time, is a testament to her mastery at imagining and executing her vision. Her most recent release before this EP, “Long Time No See” which was dropped earlier this year, was an uplifting and energetic dance track that spoke about the longing we feel for those we love and care about when we have been apart from them for a long time. A relatable and pertinent track, it speaks to us particularly intimately in these crazy COVID times and is worth a second look at even as she drops her latest EP, “Plead the Fifth”.

In “Plead the Fifth”, Dejhare steps up her game bringing her music to a new height. The EP displays Dejhare’s characteristic attention to detail and gives us a well-crafted and authentic vibe that comes together in the inspiring and melodic tracks on the EP. While“Plead the Fifth” is progressive in its undertones, it remains accessible and simple in how the artist connects with the listener. Here Dejhare captures the human emotional chaos that we all feel as we navigate through our often confusing world and lays bare the complexities that are at our very human core. Her signature vocal style and her genre-bridging melodies are well served in “Plead the Fifth” and we get a taste of her diversity as a singer-songwriter. This EP ticks all the boxes and has what is needed to connect and appeal to music lovers across cultures and genres. The five songs in “Plead the Fifth” are the perfect way to brighten the summer of 2021.

Neo Brightwell finds beauty in the brutal art of letting go with “Break Me Like a Promise”

On the lead single, “Break Me Like a Promise” off his upcoming album “Burn Bright, Stay Free” to be released November 13, 2026, Neo Brightwell asks for love to last and to leave with dignity.

Neo Brightwell

Neo Brightwell’s “Break Me Like a Promise” is the first single from his upcoming album *Burn Bright, Stay Free,” to be released by November 13, 2026. This song is not just about the end of love, but about how it ends, and if there’s honesty to be found in the wreckage.

The track is in an unusual emotional register, as slow, aching space between breathing devotion and an already-decided departure. Brightwell doesn’t sound like a man desperate to be kept, but a man asking softly, devastatingly for the truth, not a clean exit. The song plays with the push and pull of pop accessibility and Americana soul. The slower tempo allows the arrangement to breathe, and the warm, weathered tones sound lived-in.

Brightwell’s singing is measured, more expressive, and the whole thing is holding its breath for an honesty that might never come. It’s the moral clarity that makes “Break Me Like a Promise” stand out from the sea of breakup anthems. It asks for no love in return, and it’s a call for integrity. This is a final act of respect between two loving people, and that’s a harder thing to want. As the opening statement of “Bright, Stay Free,” this release is one of the most emotionally accurate singles of the year so far.

Dirty Hands Nation sings don’t follow blindly, do your research with latest release “Due Deligence”

Dirty Hands Nation

Dirty Hands Nation comes out swinging with a strong message on “Due Diligence,” a daring single that harnesses frustration, awareness, and determination in a bold musical statement. It is more than a song; it is a call to question narratives, challenge assumptions, and think critically about the systems that shape everyday life.

“Due Diligence” is a phrase that encapsulates a philosophy that you should only stand up for what matters after consideration and research. The track itself is guided by the title in its entirety. Dirty Hands Nation emphasizes that conviction is not about going along with the crowd, and encourages its audience to dig deeper into matters before deciding.

Where the song works best is in its direct engagement with politics and economics. It raises questions of war, government spending, inflation, corporate power, health care, and the financial burden on regular people. The track talks about these issues, not as abstract ideas, but from the point of view of regular people who are most affected by these decisions.

Dirty Hands Nation delivers a passionate, thought-provoking release with purpose and conviction in “Due Diligence.” It’s a track that’s meant to spark conversation, challenge complacency, and remind us that opinions of consequence are built on inquiry, understanding, and due diligence.
