Renowned Genetic Scientist Releases Second Album “Signs & Wonders”
Sun King Rising’s John Blangero will release a new collection of “Southern Soul” tracks on October 1st, 2022. Texas-based Blangero is a world-renowned genetic scientist.
Sun King Rising’s highly anticipated second album “Signs & Wonders” gets a release date of October 1st, 2022 on PeacockSunrise Records. Sun King Rising is the professional moniker of singer/songwriter/piano player John Blangero who resides in Port Isabel, Texas. Combining different genres and musical influences, he refers to his music as the new wave of southern rock and soul music.
With Spotify streams of his 2020 debut album, “Delta Tales” approaching 800K, and youtube views of his award-winning “Free Will in China Blue” video approaching 40K, Blangero looks to continue the momentum with his new album.
John Blangero’s southern family culture and values form the backbone for his music. Taking inspiration from the icons of his generation, his music combines the literary genius of William Faulkner, the bluesy compositional brilliance of George Gershwin, the blue-eyed soul of Elton John, and the funky rhythms and horns of 60s-70s Muscle Shoals.”Signs & Wonders” is a collection of Blangero’s southern noir stories set to music, with a cast of colorful characters, intrigue, tales of sin and redemption, murder without justice, and love without limits.
Blangero is also a world-renowned genetic scientist who has spent much time over the past several years, working on the COVID pandemic.

Pags creates a laid-back but calculated approach on new release “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR”
Pags’ latest release, “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is a hip-hop/trap track that puts emphasis on tone, flow and subtle complexity with a laid-back but calculated approach. Rather than providing obvious hooks or lengthy lyrics, the song invites self-engagement.
The relaxed conversational cadence brings an easy rhythm to the song. Pags is clean so every bar comes through naturally. This performance doesn’t need attention, but it does reward it. What’s interesting about “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is the writing.
Some lines are immediate, some deferred. This has gotten a lot of responses which is good for the track. Makes you curious so you listen again to understand. Pags doesn’t like explaining. That choice gives the song a conversational rather than show tone. “NAMELESS SUPERSTAR” is about the build up and the things that make you want to listen again.

Mark Winters celebrates life’s best moments on new release “All In The Rhythm”
Mark Winters’ new track, “All In The Rhythm,” is a warm and moving folk-pop release that celebrates the quiet truth that life’s best moments often come from staying in step with the people we love. The song has an organic sense of openness and forward motion, inspired by a hike in Zion National Park.
“All In The Rhythm” captures the grounding simplicity of walking, breathing, and sharing meaningful moments with others, with an acoustic guitar and a steady pulse. That pulse-like rhythm is symbolic not just of music, but of connection itself.
The track hits home because of its uplifting honesty. It poses a serious question: what if the search for happiness is not about more, but about movement in harmony with loved ones, with life, with the now? That notion gives the song emotional weight without weighing down its bright spirit.
The folk-pop foundation lends it accessibility and charm. The steady groove propels the song with a reassuring, alive momentum, while acoustic textures add warmth. It’s easy to imagine listeners connecting with its hopeful message, because it speaks to something universal.
