Matthew Pinder Delivers Highly Anticipated Indie-Folk EP ‘Seated In The Sun’

‘Seated In The Sun’ is a collection of four captivating tracks recounting stories of hopelessness, embracing change, and finding peace with an innovative, pop-kissed folk sound.

Bahamian folk artist Matthew Pinder excitedly welcomes the long-awaited release of his new EP, ‘Seated In The Sun,’ out November 5. Pinder’s soothing vocals and introspective lyricism couple to create a mesmerizing soundtrack that eases the soul despite exploring heavy-hearted subject matter. The caliber of intentional, profound artistry captured on this project implores listeners to surrender their full attention to every word Pinder whispers. This release follows the recent previews “Cascade,” “Used To Say,” and “Stars,” completing the collection with the final track, “Plans,” featuring Sara Davis Regan. Pinder describes this project as “songs made in many little rooms,” in reference to the difficult, yet undeniably successful remote recording process with this project. ‘Seated In The Sun’ was made in collaboration with co-producers Mitch Webb and Sara Davis Regan, and Sherwood Rahming, who worked closely with Pinder in the early stages of creating the EP.

Listeners can stream ‘Seated In The Sun’ on all major streaming platforms November 5.

Matthew Pinder is a Bahamian singer-songwriter who has established a quintessential sound within the indie-folk space over the last few years. Pinder often sings from his own experiences allowing his music to leave an “indelible mark on indie-folk music” (B-Sides & Badlands). First gaining recognition for his viral hit single “Golden Hour” – still one of his most popular releases today with over 2 million streams – he soon followed with the release of the full-length album, Give Me Some Time which was hailed as “Pinder’s magnum opus: a debut so rich and extravagantly heart-rending and deeply-crushing” (B-Sides & Badlands). Soon after, Pinder took a break from music to focus on his mental health until he was ready to begin on his next project, set to release later this fall. Working with local studio engineer/producer Sherwood Rahming and past collaborators Mitch Webb and Sara Davis Regan, Pinder is eager to make music “fun” again by making it with people and friends along the way. Nonetheless, fans can still expect his modern flair with the influences of classic singer-songwriters and present-day artists, all melded into a sound completely his own.

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.
