Miami based Artist and Producer Phil Watkis Releases a New Track “Never Search”

Jamaican-born Miami-based artist and producer Phil Watkis continues a renewed music run with his third single release in less than three months. The single “Never Search” was released on February 18th under the Radical Roots Records imprint and closed its debut weekend with over 3400 Spotify streams. Phil Watkis’s “Never Search” is that music that keeps on giving with a song that pours into the listener to make them enjoy a life that much more. The glow from the music shines to the fullest, and makes the colors of the world bright, as you are able to hear the fun in the music coming out of your speakers, to bring a party to the listener that never ends. If you love good music, there’s not anything that you won’t enjoy about this special release.

Phil Watkis made his name during the Reggae Revival Movement’s first wave and soon carved out a space for himself across the European landscape with breakout singles such as “Know My Friends”, Hustlers Anthem”, Trodding” and a slew of other concert bangers, that helped the emerging act maintain a strong presence in the Reggae sphere before a brief Hiatus in 2018 to give first-hand care to his terminally ill mother, who passed in 2021.

Fulfilling a promise to his mother, Watkis quickly returned to the studio and in the healing process found a deeper side to his musical talent, along with the singles “Falling For You”, the Al-Mighty Produced “Lion”, and buzzing Radical Roots production “Never Search”, which has already caught an organic buzz from Lovers Rock fans worldwide.

Ava Valianti turns self-doubt into art with “Laugh Track”

In her new single, “Laugh Track,” Ava Valianti takes us on a peculiar journey through her thoughts and feelings, which many can connect to. With a mix of dark humor and raw honesty, Ava shares her experience of feeling like life is more of a series of awkward moments rather than a smooth story where she’s the star.

Drawing inspiration from movies and shows that explore deep emotions, like The Truman Show and How I Met Your Mother’s Ted Mosby, “Laugh Track” captures the unsettling feeling of always being on stage, even when nobody’s watching. It resounds with anyone who has sat alone and questioned whether the laughter around them is meant for them or at their expense.

The song combines deeper sounds with a light, catchy vibe, making its heavy themes approachable enough for dancing. Ava’s voice is strong and open, giving each line an authentic feeling that hits home.

“Laugh Track” is a stand-out because it embraces chaos. Ava doesn’t wrap up her insecurity and self-doubt in a tidy package. Instead, she celebrates the messiness of life and finds comfort in the imperfect characters we often see on TV and in ourselves. “Laugh Track” mirrors our experiences. Like the best comedy shows, it makes you laugh, feel uncomfortable, and reminds you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
