Alwyn Morrison Shines Bright with New Single and Music Video “Turn All The Lights On” from Debut EP Heartsplit
Alwyn Morrison is back with his new single, “Turn All The Lights On,” the high-intensity track made for smashing through suburbs in a DeLorean vehicle and filming music videos that are equally as outré and bombastic. Premiering alongside his first-ever EP, “Heartsplit,” the track comes with a mindblowing music video that encapsulates Morrison’s mantra of diversity, creativity and unapologetically being yourself.
Directed by Morrison himself, with Viken Kazandjian as co-cinematographer, the video is laced with color and motion and electricity as visual storytelling. There’s feels carefully considered, to emphasize the value of being unique as well as being inclusive. And that’s part of what this whole thing is, a celebration of identity against the backdrop of electric energy, then hit with winds expectorated from Morrison and company who continue pushing their music past sound and into pure sensory experience.
“Turn All The Lights On” is an imperative. The song sends out a feeling of freedom, encouraging everyone to live without apologies and fully be themselves in the figurative spotlight. With his debut EP “Heartsplit,” Morrison showcases his talent as a lyricist with bold, emotional storytelling and demonstrates that he has the power to command vivid visual direction in addition to writing epic ballads.
For those of us music lovers on the hunt for younger talent that has a foot in both the worlds of music and visual art and contemporary cultural expression, Morrison’s debut is an arrival worth noting. His music champions empowerment, inclusivity and the bravery to be yourself something I think is in short supply among this generation of artists. With “Turn All The Lights On,” Morrison is shining a light to a fledgling talent on the come-up.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
