Kane Brown, Swae Lee, And Khalid Bring Their Cool Collaboration ‘Be Like That’ To Late Night

The three singers perform at a retro diner. …

Country star Kane Brown brought his ever-popular hit “Be Like That” to The Late Show With Stephen Colbert last night with a pre-recorded performance in front of a retro burger stand. It’s a straightforward, stand-up production, as Brown is flanked on either side by his collaborators Swae Lee and Khalid, with all three singers dressed down in smoothly coordinated outfits.

The trio previously performed the song at the 2020 Billboard Music Awards, performing to an empty theater with a full band. Thanks to the pandemic, they’ve yet to bring the song to a live audience but with Brown’s upcoming album Mixtape, Vol. 1 on the way, they may yet get a chance to perform it on tour sometime next year. They did get a chance to play at a drive-in concert in September, held at more than 200 theaters across the US.

Swae Lee, meanwhile, recently teamed up with Lil Mosey and Tyga for “Krabby Step” from the upcoming Spongebob movie soundtrack, while his Enter The Spider-Verse hit with Post Malone, “Sunflower,” recently received its third diamond certification. Khalid is working on his own album, which he told fans in September should be out early next year.

Jeff Hodges delivers a reflection of life and meaning with “I Believe”

Jeff Hodges’ latest release, “I Believe,” is a tender Americana and country-leaning ballad that embraces the simplicity, honesty, and emotional clarity of a warm and reflective space. The song feels timeless with a grounded authenticity built on influences that sound like Zach Bryan, Chris Stapleton, and Leon Bridges.

The first notes of “I Believe” are soft and calm. The performance is purposeful as a slow-burning arrangement that feels like open roads, quiet mornings, and moments of pause in an otherwise fast-moving world, with a soundscape of soft acoustic textures and subtle country instrumentation. Jeff Hodges speaks in a natural, authentic voice. His tone is warm, measured, and full of feeling.

The song is about peace, gratitude, and finding meaning in the ordinary. It’s searching for little intimate truths, such as the gift of presence, the significance of relationships, and the beauty of the everyday. “I Believe” is a testament to Jeff Hodges as an artist dedicated to honest, emotion-driven storytelling. It’s a song that just asks us to slow down, breathe, and remember what’s important.

With “CLAIM IT ALL,” X-ANONYMOUS takes us on a dark journey through control, chaos, and rebirth

X-ANONYMOUS is back with a blistering new release, “CLAIM IT ALL,“ a hard rock and metalcore smackdown that takes intensity, emotion, and aggression and blasts them into a tightly controlled tempest of sound. It is a combination of guitar riffs, industrial textures, and unrelenting rhythmic drive.

It explodes, launching you into a fractured psychological space where the self is always challenged and reinvented. “CLAIM IT ALL” is about the struggle between self-control and external control. The song encapsulates the crushing burden of manipulation and coercion, creating a terrain in which the mind is a battleground. Every change appears to have a reason, mirroring a spiral into internal chaos and the attempt to slowly regain individual strength.

There’s an emotional undercurrent that suggests awakening, and it tempers the aggression of the instrumentation. It is as though a constant tug and pull exists between collapse and control, as if the track itself were trying to get away from its own limitations. X-ANONYMOUS’s powerful statement is bold, unfiltered, and unafraid to face the darkness to rise above it. “CLAIM IT ALL“ It’s a reminder of how identity always fights back when it’s repressed.
