Samson Brown Release His New Single “A Vibe”
Vancouver, BC, July 1st, 2021 — Hip-hop and R&B artist, Samson Brown, has released his third single of the year, “A Vibe ” just in time for the summer of 2021. Combining Brown’s unique hip-hop style with a lofi beat, the single evokes nostalgia of late-night adventures and anticipation for long summer road trips, making it the first of many post-pandemic songs which will be sure to follow Brown’s lead.
This release not only marks the artist’s first single written and recorded in Vancouver, but also his first experience working with producer, Koji. Although it was their first time collaborating together on a project, Brown and Koji completed the song within the first hour of their session at Studio 710. The duo successfully managed to blend their styles into a track which celebrates Brown’s first year in Vancouver and the conclusion of Covid..
To celebrate the song of summer 2021, the hip hop artist has partnered with Aces N Spades Tattoo to give away a free tattoo to one of his fans… The giveaway is designed to encourage fans to embrace adventure and spontaneity while enjoying the journey they’re on— a reflection of the theme from “It’s a Vibe”.
Brown looks forward to the summer of 2021 and the remainder of the year as he continues to establish relations with the music industry’s most influential individuals, making connections in Vancouver, Miami, and California. The artist says fans can look forward to a “Kendrick Lamar inspired” music video for “It’s a VIbe” to follow, but, for now, leaves his supporters with an eagerness for their next journey and a willingness to seize opportunities for a good time.
Listen to the song of summer 2021, “It’s a Vibe” out now to experience the vibe.

“Hell has frozen over” finds Sarina choosing peace over being understood
Sarina’s new track, “Hell has frozen over,” explores the less dramatic, more complicated moment of reaching the end of the road, being gaslit, ignored, rejected, and painfully lonely. It translates the emotional burnout into a rock-pop context that’s easy to understand.
“Hell has frozen over” focuses on the decision to step away, instead of explaining, defending, or seeking understanding from people who refuse to listen. The rock foundation gives it the right weight, the pop influence makes it accessible, and the focus stays on the emotional message.
Sarina’s art is the struggle of loss and being strong in yourself. It’s about understanding that protecting your peace is more important than being understood. And that’s the emotional balance that gives the release its character so that the subject matter has relevance beyond a particular circumstance.
“Hell has frozen over“ is a relief from the burden of carrying on a debate that will never be resolved. Sarina turns an experience of isolation into a statement about boundaries, resilience, and the choice not to get caught in the same cycle. The result is a record that’s at its best when it’s being true to what it feels like to finally be free from whatever has been holding you down.

Girlhood finds summer warmth and quiet freedom on “Lemon Aid”
“Lemon Aid“ is a warm indie-pop ballad from Girlhood that finds comfort in the ordinary and weaves in a sense of release. This song is about surrendering to the moment, finding space to breathe, and letting a little lightness back in. This reflective core is surprising, given the warm summer-night feel of the track, hinting at a moment of emotional rebalancing.
Singer-songwriter Natalie Holmes has a tender personality and fronts the slow-burning “Lemon Aid.” The production supports that softness, keeping the song’s gentle mood and intimate direction front and center. Beneath the comfort is a thoughtful examination of pressure, transition, and the need to pause.
The song’s link to the streets of Stroud offers yet another layer of art to the work. Familiar places can mean something when life feels uncertain, and the emotional scene involves storefronts, parks, cafes, and leafy, winding streets. “Lemon Aid“ searches for beauty in everyday places and rituals, finding still moments that mean something without getting carried away.
The track is the first release of Girlhood’s forthcoming album, “This Will Make Sense In The End,” a more reflective chapter with hope at its heart. “Lemon Aid” is about softness, conjuring a space where dancing, wandering, and just existing can feel like a cure. It’s an unleashing of small observations and soft emotional movement and a clear indication of the thoughtful direction that Girlhood is heading next.
