NYC Based Duo BAD Drops New Song “Jupiter

Electrifying NYC duo BAD have us fueled with their infectious glittery groove-filled vibes. Sharing their bright new single “Jupiter,” the tune is as dazzling as the Andromeda Galaxy itself.

BAD is comprised of NYC based duo Julia Brex and Jackson Hoffman. Having met in high school, the two have been writing and recording music together for about a decade. While they mainly focus on pop songwriting and production for other artists, BAD was born out of a passion for funk music. That passion combined with their musicality and an incredible group of fellow musicians led to the release of their debut EP GOOD, which has been making listeners dance across the globe.

Inspired by their love for funk grooves and pop sensibilities, BAD pulls elements from throwback funk and soul, 90’s and early 2000’s pop and R&B and contemporary pop and hip-hop. Brex and Hoffman succeed in creating a sound which allows the music to come across as nostalgic yet fresh, throwback yet brand new.

Bursting with exuberance and strutting with confidence, debut single ‘Refresher’ shimmers with funk-fueled melodies, 80’s electronic instrumentation and a vibrant horn section. ‘Sweat’ follows suit, while delivering animated sonic soundscapes and fun, dance worthy rhythms. The ultimate summer bop sparked inspiration from the 90’s workout Barbie aesthetic.

A frequent theme throughout BAD’s music is an overall sense of fun, lightheartedness and self-empowerment, with the utmost desire to make people feel-good and move.  Their new single “Jupiter” is a pop dance banger all about partying with our extraterrestrial friends in otter space.

“The Deverills” by TYGERMYLK reveals a glittering ode to queer friendship

TYGERMYLK

Hayz Harland, known professionally as TYGERMYLK, returns with something far more precious, “The Deverills,” a track that feels like flipping through a sun-creased scrapbook of inside jokes, questionable travel decisions, and emotional pitstops shared with your closest friends. Co-written with long-time creative soulmate, collaborator, and best friend Laura Reznek, the single is both a love letter and a comedic commentary, offering a tender, chaotic, and sharply self-aware ode to platonic queer friendship.

The track is funny, emotional, and honest. From the very first notes, “The Deverills” envelops listeners in warmth buoyed by the lush harmonies of the KIN Choir and lyrics that are as witty as they are wistful. Harland doesn’t just tell stories; she paints vivid scenes of viral cat museum escapades, hotel bar confessions, and that one time they ended up on the wrong boat (we’ve all been there…right?). Her storytelling shines with cinematic detail, culminating in a chorus that evokes the comforting feeling of returning home after an extended tour of beautiful disasters.

What makes this track potently impactful is its quiet indignities, which serve as an incisive critique of ageism within the music industry, and effectively challenge and dismantle outdated assumptions regarding queer relationships. Harland’s approach goes beyond merely requesting inclusion; she assertively establishes her presence in this domain by artfully combining humor with grace, thereby exhibiting both wit and poise.

In a cultural landscape that often prioritizes romantic ideals and fleeting novelty, “The Deverills” provides a refreshing exploration of the intricate and fulfilling dynamics that emerge from the joyful eccentricities of a chosen family. This narrative serves as a resonant anthem for those who have cultivated profound connections with friends or surrogate family members through shared experiences marked by unconventional road trips, communal living situations, and intimate exchanges of secrets during the twilight hours, discovering moments of joy along the way. The work encapsulates the juxtaposition of playfulness and poignancy, immersing the audience in the complexity and relatability of human relationships. TYGERMYLK’s anthemic creation stands as a noteworthy contribution to the discourse on the beautifully chaotic journey of human connection.

Tracy Dell wakens gen-x spirit with latest single, “American Blood”

H

Tracy Dell has arrived with her latest single, “American Blood,” a glorious nod to the high-octane golden days of 80s and 90s rock that defined a generation. This track explodes with distorted riffs and the inevitable spark of a Gen-X spirit that will not go gently into the night. Longtime fans may recognize the seasoned singer-songwriter as Tracy DeLucia, but with Dell, her new name is a reawakening. Her previous efforts hinted at the sweeter side of country pop, “American Blood” is Tracy rolling down the windows, flicking the switch, and letting her rebellious roots drive.

Produced by Kent Wells of Dolly Parton board work, the tune vibrates with raw energy, smart hooks, and memories you don’t need to be an ’80s baby to understand. With the residual echoes of defiance, Dell captures the beautiful chaos that shaped a generation in which music was both escape and identity. Her voice, grainy and urgent, is accompanied by explosive instrumentation drenched with high-octane guitars that feel like it was meant for turnpike speakers and garage parties alike. And the best part is that there is no glossing over the attitude.

If you have ever parked under the 7-Eleven lights, blasting alt-rock tunes with the windows fogged and dreams ignited, “American Blood” will feel like coming home. Tracy Dell is recapturing a feeling. One that is wild and loud and gloriously alive. With “American Blood,” Dell is playing a nod to her past, she’s stomping it straight into the present, guitar in hand and her legacy in tow. Tracy Dell showed up, and she brought Gen-X’s soul with her.
