MSJR and Derek Woods set the world ablaze with “Burnin’”

Honk Magazine Default

MSJR lights a fire with their new single “Burnin’ (ft. Derek Woods)” that is impossible to ignore. It’s an electrifying ride that’s the kind of thought-provoking, danceable jam you’d expect from a band that combines the infectious grooves of reggae, the rough and tumble grooves of rock, and the improvisational spirit of jazz. That’s a big part of what “Burnin'” is, a call to awareness. MSJR and Derek Woods serve up lyrics that reach deep into the state of our world today with the wisdom of the past and the daring to imagine the future.

With visceral call and response vocal exchanges and storytelling, the track dares listeners to negotiate discomfort without letting their feet stop moving. A track for people who know the dance floor is a place of revolution and celebration. The music itself is a wild force of nature. The reggae bed lays a chill but authoritative tone, often with driving basslines and crisp, catchy guitar riffs. But just when you think you have it all figured out, the rock influence smashes through, providing grit and urgency. And then there’s the jazz, unpredictable, free-spirited, and daring. Horns honk, rhythms change, and solos erupt with electrifying energy, with every instant alive.

Woods’ vocal presence adds further depth, and his soulful delivery highlights MSJR’s classic vocal tone. Each plays off the other, a symbiotic exchange, a conversation that resonates with both despair and possibility. “Burnin'” is that kind of music that leaves your ears ringing with excitement. MSJR and Derek Woods have created something that is rare, while it moves the body, it also moves the mind. And in an era that seems like everything is on fire, “Burnin'” is a reminder that sometimes that fire is just what we need.”

Jade Robin unveils a heartbreak whisper, not shouted with latest release “Never Love Again”

Jade Robin

Jade Robin’s new single “Never Love Again” captures a deep emotional atmosphere in just a few minutes, despite its fragile structure. The song is written as an intimate, sad pop ballad, with soft vocals and simple production to convey real emotion. Everything here feels real; nothing seems forced or too much.

Written when she was 15, the song captures a time in life when feelings are stronger than reason. The emotional overload is deeply embedded in the track, giving it a sense of urgency that is both personal and very relatable. “Never Love Again” doesn’t have big peaks, instead, it unfolds softly, like it’s sharing a secret with the listener. This makes the experience feel very personal and human.

This single is a good example of Jade Robin’s art philosophy, which is grounded in authenticity. She doesn’t try to make people feel things with her songs; she tells the truth. The song’s vulnerability lets listeners enter her world, where heartbreak, loss, and confusion coexist with healing and self-reflection. It is a type of honesty that doesn’t want attention, but it needs it.

“Never Love Again” does a great job of being clear about its story and emotions. This shows that sometimes, less is more. Jade’s ability to express complex feelings subtly and movingly shows that she is more mature than her years. The result is a piece of music that stays with you long after it’s over, giving listeners a chance to reflect on, feel, and understand their own emotions. This release shows that Jade Robin is still developing an artistic identity grounded in emotional honesty. It also shows that the best music often communicates as well as it listens.
