Eylsia Nicolas frames a narrative of resilience through her new single, “Born to Lead Mix”
“Born to Lead Mix” is a single by Eylsia Nicolas, whose real name is Lisa Pamintuan. It comes out in the middle of a complicated story about her career changes and medical recovery. Pamintuan’s life, which included institutional care, rehabilitation, an academic and administrative career, the development of luxury brands, and later health problems, sets the stage for a release that serves as both a musical work and a personal record.
She has been through a lot in her life, including a breakdown and being put in a mental hospital, time spent in rehab, and a shift away from the entertainment industry to lead higher education. She started a college in China and then became one of the youngest college presidents in the United States. When her mentor retired to Florida, she took over running his global business affairs. She launched the luxury brand Nicolas of Palm Beach and began concentrating more on her music career at the same time.
A major setback happened later when COVID-19 caused permanent lung damage and made it difficult to speak. The story says that Pamintuan used sound-restoration technologies to fix her voice and start recording again. The commercial reception for her work includes quick chart success on independent platforms, with multiple top spots across genres and a long run at number one on the Groover Indie charts.
“Born to Lead Mix” is framed as a statement about leadership, survival, and artistic persistence. The single’s importance goes beyond its sound; it serves as an audible record of an artist who went through success, failure, and technical recovery to find their creative voice again. The single shows how leadership can come from changing music.

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.
