Life-Changing Secret Is Revealed In New Song “Take It To Your Grave” by See Your Shadow
A Child’s Paternity Is At The Heart of “Take It To Your Grave” by See Your Shadow.
The best way to keep a secret is to not tell a soul, especially if that secret can bring pain into someone else’s life. This is the heart-wrenching theme of “Take It To Your Grave”, a songwriting collaboration between Michael Coleman, musical director of the multi-award winning See Your Shadow, and long time writing partner J. Richard Murray.
“Take It To Your Grave”, to be released on July 8th, is the lead single from the upcoming See Your Shadow retrospective, “From His Mind” which will be released later this summer, to include See Your Shadow’s greatest hits and some previously unreleased material. See Your Shadow is known for exploring themes that fall outside the norm by tackling complex emotions and stories showcasing the human experience.
In “Take It To Your Grave” the lyrics portray a story of a man who fathers his best friend’s son and the anguish suffered from not being able to reveal that truth.
Conflicts unresolved, So many lives involved, Can’t think about yourself, Gotta do what’s right for someone else – “Take It to Your Grave”

Anacy blends Afrobeats and Amapiano into a powerful anthem of freedom with “Khulula”
Anacy’s “Khulula” captures this transition phase by fusing Afrobeats and amapiano elements to convey feelings of exasperation, emotional exhaustion, and the yearning for change in a spirited musical journey. The track is a reflection of the moment when somebody decides to step away from old patterns, to make room for new energy, new connections, and a new perspective.
“Khulula” was born out of the feeling of being cut off from the familiar and being tired of being let down again and again. It has the emotional weight of a person about to break free. Thus, the song is about moving on but also about being open to the unexpected episodes that can create adrenaline and emotional charge. It captures the difficult space between letting go and moving into the unknown but exciting.
The production is a blend of warm grooves and a modern feel, so the song is good for listening to by itself or at parties. Anacy’s assured artistry combines storytelling and addictive rhythms to produce a song that reminds you of your own moments of transformation. Anacy from Cape Town, South Africa, is one of the new breed of independent artists bringing a fresh perspective to the music industry. And “Khulula” celebrates the power of change, of self-discovery, of emotional freedom, and of an artist connected to melody, culture, and the sound of today.
