Proclaim finds clarity in the chaos with soulful single “Start Again”
With “Start Again,” Proclaim opens a window to the emotional whiplash that so often goes unsaid featuring LaRussell. In this tender and disarmingly honest song, he conveys the quiet pain that can happen after we’ve apparently “checked all the boxes” in life, and yet something still feels off. What you do when you climb to the top of the “happiness mountain” and discover you’re no happier than when you started. That’s the essence of “Star Again,” a soul-searching song inspired by Proclaim’s mid-life reckoning, where the fulfillment that was promised never quite arrived. It’s a reality that all too many people can relate to, yet few talk about it out loud.
“Star Again” straddles the line between vulnerability and resolve. The production is purposeful and feels grounded, instead allowing the emotional weight of the lyrics to stand at the fore. Proclaim’s singing exudes an urgency that’s not overwrought or disconnected but never sells a line short. You can almost feel the tension here, the confusion of wanting more, the ache of disconnection, and the courage necessary to hit reset. It goes a bit further than the crushing experience of personal crisis it also embodies the struggle of presence when we live in a world of never-ending distraction. Cellphones, media, and the noise of modern life drag us away from ourselves and from one another.
There’s an undercurrent of hope that runs through the song, a feeling that, while going back to the start is scary, it’s also freeing. This is about returning to yourself and realigning with what counts. “Start Again” is for anyone who’s looked around at the life they’ve built and surprised themselves by thinking, “Is this it?” It’s a song for anyone who’s brave enough to say they don’t have all the answers but stubborn enough to just keep looking anyway. In a busy, fast-moving world, “Start Again” is a potent reminder that you are never too old to find your way.

Dax turns years of questions into new release “God, Can You Hear Me?”
Dax’s latest release, “God, Can You Hear Me?” tells the story of his journey of questioning, searching, and finally finding his voice. The song is a three-year reflection on doubt, longing, and revelation that arose from a question he asked himself at 25. It is both personal and relatable to everyone.
Dax started writing the song in December 2023, but he didn’t find the words that would finish this emotional statement until 2026. The track itself has a raw, reflective quality that shows how difficult it is to navigate faith, purpose, and understanding.
Dax’s track “God, Can You Hear Me?” offers people a way to see their own questions and journeys. It’s a deep look at faith, patience, and the need to be heard that stays with you long after the last note is sung. The way he talks makes it feel like the listener is right next to him while he thinks and prays late at night.

Vibrational Match serves up light and breezy vibes in “On a Sunny Shore”
Vibrational Match’s new single, “On a Sunny Shore,” has given us a bright dose of hope. The song wraps you in warmth from the first note, making you feel like you’re on a beach with the sun on your skin and the sand between your toes. It’s breezy on purpose, a song that sounds both simple and well-made.
The arrangement flows well with soft, rolling rhythms, and the bassline keeps the song grounded while letting it float. The trumpet accents shine like sunlight on the waves, making the music bright and memorable long after the last note.
The duet vocals, which are a sweet conversation between a man and a woman, are a great touch. “We’re rich in gold with the sun in our eyes and the sand in our feet,” and “This sunny shore where dreams unfold, we are rich with gold” are two lines that show how simple and happy shared moments can be.
“On a Sunny Shore” has both deep thoughts and a lot of good vibes, which is a hard line for most artists to walk with such ease. The song makes you want to stop, take a deep breath, and chase the horizon with an open heart. Vibrational Match shows that happiness can be hard, fun, and unforgettable all at once.
