Brooke Williams- “happy 4 you”

LA-based songwriter and artist Brooke Williams began writing music at age seven, drawing her love of the craft from a diverse range of influences- from Aretha Franklin and Dolly Parton to Aqua and Kanye. After just one single release, Brooke was found on Spotify by Snafu Records co-founder Ankit Desai and flown out to Stockholm, where she collaborated with a number of acclaimed songwriters and producers, including Carl Falk (Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato, Ellie Goulding) and Albin Nedler (Avicii, Martin Garrix, One Direction). Together, they wrote Brooke’s debut single “Art of Pretending,” released through Arista Records. Brooke has since written songs for artists including AOA (Virgin), IV Jay (Atlantic), Tritonal, TVXQ! (SM Entertainment), Mishcatt, Shuba, KINGS, and most recent collaboration, Big Gigantic. You also may have heard some of her songs on shows like Selling Sunset, UFC, and the most recent Starz promo. She’s currently working on her solo project and can’t wait to release new music.

Her latest single is “happy 4 you”, released alongside an evocative visual shot by Andrew & Laura with Good X Studios. Here, Williams’ focused, engaging songwriting style is on full display, alongside expansive, dense instrumentation that immerses the listener in moody, vivid sounds. Vocally, she shines with powerful verses full of sharply-written melodies, before the song dynamically builds into a cathartic chorus. The new accompanying visual makes for a cohesive accompaniment to the track, with subdued, nocturnal shots and grainy, textural filters that pair nicely with the song’s lo-fi aesthetics. A emotive release that finds Williams’ once again displaying her wide-ranging creative abilities and songwriting skills, “happy 4 you” makes for a moving listening experience, and the new video enhances its dreamy, ethereal soundscape.

Jonathan Zogbi reaches new heights with new release “Sky High”

Jonathan Zogbi

Jonathan Zogbi’s latest release, “Sky High,” is a turning point in his career as a musician. It turns personal problems into a message of hope and growth. The track has a catchy beat and a modern, sleek production style, but it also has a deeper meaning and purpose.

“Sky High” draws on modern pop music and gives it a spiritual boost. The production is bright, which makes it easy to get into, but it doesn’t take away from the song’s emotional core. On the other hand, Zogbi walks a fine line between being popular and telling a good story.

The story behind this release is what makes it so cool. After getting a diagnosis that changed his life, Zogbi left his job as an engineer and turned inward, eventually turning to music. This started as a personal outlet, but it has clearly grown into something more purposeful: a place for realness, connection, and art rooted in a message. Jonathan Zogbi’s new song “Sky High” is also a statement about an artistic path defined by purpose, showing that you can rise even when things are tough.

Knux Burgandy rejects being average on new release “Mediocre”

Honk Magazine Default

Knux Burgandy’s new single, “Mediocre,” sounds more like a personal statement than a song. The Boston producer-artist is all in on pain rap, and the song hits hard and with purpose. It’s based on raw feelings, sharpened by what you’ve been through.

“Mediocre” is a hard-hitting trap record, but what really sets it apart is its heart. Burgandy doesn’t just rap, he also talks about how he feels, thinks, and fights against settling for less. It’s easy to chant the hook, and it stays in your head after just one listen. The message, on the other hand, lasts a lot longer, no matter what happens, don’t settle for an average life.

Knux Burgandy is becoming well-known in a way that seems real and important. His community is increasingly supporting him, and he is clearly dedicated to his work. The word “mediocre” isn’t just a word, it’s a reminder that being average was never the goal.
