Allison2020 shares a new single, “Big Train”

Allison2020 hits us with a record that is at once nostalgic in spirit and soulful in execution. “Big Train,” then, is an actual song, but it’s also a meditation on movement and memory and the forces that carry us forward even when we don’t realize it.

For me, “Big Train” is soul with a jazz brush and a groove that alternates between mellow and uplifting. It’s the rhythm of the train itself, unstoppable, insistent and weighted with history. There is a legacy in the lyrics, an acknowledgment of those who forged ahead before you, while also recognizing the quiet victories of just keeping on.

Allison2020’s singing has a lived-in quality, and an honesty that lends warmth to every rich tone. The track not only celebrates progress, it celebrates awareness, the gripping minutes we pay mind to how beautiful it is still moving, still breathing, still living.

“Big Train” is a reminder that life is in the moving and in moving we make our mark. Marrying the lush textures of soul with the improvisational spirit of jazz, Allison2020 serves up a song, grounded yet soaring. It’s the kind of record that leaves you feeling pensive, emboldened and resolute to keep on moving.

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.
