Carol Grando invites the world to dance freely with new single “SE JOGA”
Brazilian-born rising star Carol Grando has returned with an electrifying new single, “SE JOGA,” now available across all digital platforms, accompanied by an official lyric video on YouTube. At just 20 years old, Carol continues to carve her distinctive space in the global music scene, fusing her Brazilian roots with universally infectious pop sensibilities. “SE JOGA” is a masterclass in cultural synergy. The track seamlessly blends high-energy Brazilian Funk rhythms with lush Latin Pop melodies, creating a sound that is both dreamy and refreshingly contemporary.
Produced in collaboration with Los Angeles-based beatmaker paul., the song’s pulsating beats and captivating chorus make it an invitation to literally “go for it,” as the title suggests. Following the critical acclaim of her previous single The One, which earned nominations for Best Song and Best Vocal at the 2025 Los Angeles Music Video Awards, Carol’s latest release marks a bold step forward in her artistic journey. Her identity, vibrant and fearless, shines through every beat and lyric of “SE JOGA.” The song is a track of empowerment and self-expression, encouraging listeners to let go of inhibitions and fully embrace their authenticity. The visuals surrounding the single further amplify its energy and flair.
Featuring striking photography by Eduardo Orelha and beauty styling by Narjara Jamil, the lyric video radiates charisma and confidence, mirroring the track’s bold spirit. Carol herself describes the song as “something that feels alive and immediate. Something you feel in your body and your heart,” a sentiment that resonates powerfully in both sound and imagery. “SE JOGA” highlights Carol Grando’s unique ability to bridge cultures, generations, and musical traditions. With each release, she redefines what it means to be a global pop artist rooted in Latin heritage, delivering music that is as personal as it is universal. “SE JOGA” is an invitation to dance, feel, and dive headfirst into life.

Loris Tils brings funk energy to life with “IKKI”
Loris Tils comes out swinging with “IKKI,” a single that comes with energy and musicianship right from the opening note. Borne on the unmistakable thump of Minneapolis Funk, the song surges forward with a groove that feels impressively designed and still wildly alive.
“IKKI” is a naughty conversation between slap bass and guitar, and the two instruments impressively craft around each other with both precision and flair, building a high-octane rhythm section that feels as tight as it is explosive.
The magic of “IKKI” is this tension, relentless discipline balanced by acrobats of daring improvisation. The energy never overwhelms the groove. Instead, it expands on it, making this song a celebration of rhythm, creativity, and instrumental chemistry.

Glass Mansions turn a possible goodbye into “SUNSETTING”
Glass Mansions return with “SUNSETTING,” a new single that came together during some uncertain times for the project. What began as a mini farewell to music turned out to be among the band’s most authentic and openhearted efforts yet.
The back story of the song’s creation feels almost cinematic. The day the decision was made to quit music altogether, a message came through from some big-time music executive who had heard about the band’s first Ep and wanted to collaborate. The band had agreed to share unreleased demos on request, though they hadn’t prepared any. That urgency caused a combustion of creativity that would shape the song’s trajectory.
“SUNSETTING” was written, tracked, and recorded in a home studio with scratch vocals in roughly two hours. What could have been a thrown-together demo became a surprise breakthrough. Confronted with the prospect of delivering just one last song, the writing became rather reflective, what would you say if it were your final creative curtain call.
“SUNSETTING,” produced by Zack Odom and Kenneth Mount alongside Orb Studios’ Taylor Webb, captures the urgency of its origin story but colors it with a new reflective emotional depth. The upshot is a song that feels at once improvisational and profound, an affirmation that, sometimes, when we think we’re reaching the end of something, it’s actually only setting in motion the most powerful of new starts.
