Singer Lyn Lapid returns with new anthemic single “Infinite”

Following recent co-signs from Billie Eilish, BTS’ Jungkook, and Sabrina Carpenter, singer/songwriter Lyn Lapid is back with her new feel-good single, “Infinite”—listen HERE!

The euphoric song features the 18-year-old’s signature ethereal vocals layered over bouncy guitar plucks. Inspired by the iconic “And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite” final scene in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Lyn sings, “Dancin’ in the rain 3am, Thinkin’ that we might be dreaming, Knowin’ that it’s in this moment, We are infinite.”

Of the meaning behind “Infinite,” she says, “I feel like there’s so much pressure not to waste your teenage years as you so often hear that they will be the best years of your life. I wrote ‘Infinite’ more so as a question to myself, asking if I was wasting my own youth. The song begins with me simply asking how to be you yourself, because in a time where social media romanticizes youth, independence, and telling you what you should and shouldn’t be, it can be difficult to figure yourself out.”

She continues, “The chorus then represents what you see on social media; friends going on adventures, driving super fast on the highway, and dancing in the rain at 3 a.m., and how what you see on social media can make you feel like you’re ‘missing out’ if you’re not doing the same things. I took the ending line of the movie The Perks of Being a Wallflower, ‘And in this moment, I swear, we are infinite,’ and made it the last line of the chorus to illuminate that sense of euphoria.”

“The second verse is about feeling hesitant or afraid to let go and live as the ‘main character’ after being used to living a quiet and complacent life for so long. But then I end the song saying how I will try to start living less afraid and ‘vigilantly in time,’ which I feel a bunch of people will resonate with. I wanted to end the song on a positive note, encouraging people to live their own lives, in whatever way that means for them,” she says.

“Infinite” follows Lyn’s debut singles, “Itsy Bitsy” and “Producer Man,” as well as her recently-released cover of Sarah McLachlan’s “When She Loved Me.” In addition to critical acclaim from Rolling Stone, E! Online, Refinery29, Buzzfeed, and more, Lyn recently found fans in Billie Eilish (who commented “this is so beautiful” on her cover of “Your Power”), Jungkook from BTS (who added “Producer Man” to his “Favorite Tracks” playlist on Spotify), and Sabrina Carpenter (who commented on her TikTok teasing “Infinite”). With only three released songs in her catalogue, Lyn has already amassed over 53 million global streams to date.

Lyn Lapid has affirmed herself as a star on the rise for 2021. Her 2020 debut single, “Producer Man,” emerged as “the most-viewed unreleased demo on a TikTok video in 2020.” The song morphed from a viral TikTok clip into a phenomenon, as the original demo eclipsed over 70 million views and 8 million likes on the app. To date, the official release—produced by Dan Nigro [Olivia Rodrigo, Conan Gray, Carly Rae Jepsen, Lewis Capaldi, Sky Ferreira, Empress Of]—has racked up over 44 million global streams and 6 million YouTube views. Attracting widespread tastemaker praise, Rolling Stone claimed, “The fully produced version evokes early Nineties coffee-house soul gussied up with modern drum programming and ghostly electronic harmonies,” while Idolator rightfully predicted it “is certain to make big waves.”

Stay tuned for more new music to come from Lyn Lapid this summer.

Jonathan Zogbi reaches new heights with new release “Sky High”

Jonathan Zogbi’s latest release, “Sky High,” is a turning point in his career as a musician. It turns personal problems into a message of hope and growth. The track has a catchy beat and a modern, sleek production style, but it also has a deeper meaning and purpose.

“Sky High” draws on modern pop music and gives it a spiritual boost. The production is bright, which makes it easy to get into, but it doesn’t take away from the song’s emotional core. On the other hand, Zogbi walks a fine line between being popular and telling a good story.

The story behind this release is what makes it so cool. After getting a diagnosis that changed his life, Zogbi left his job as an engineer and turned inward, eventually turning to music. This started as a personal outlet, but it has clearly grown into something more purposeful: a place for realness, connection, and art rooted in a message. Jonathan Zogbi’s new song “Sky High” is also a statement about an artistic path defined by purpose, showing that you can rise even when things are tough.

Knux Burgandy rejects being average on new release “Mediocre”

Knux Burgandy’s new single, “Mediocre,” sounds more like a personal statement than a song. The Boston producer-artist is all in on pain rap, and the song hits hard and with purpose. It’s based on raw feelings, sharpened by what you’ve been through.

“Mediocre” is a hard-hitting trap record, but what really sets it apart is its heart. Burgandy doesn’t just rap, he also talks about how he feels, thinks, and fights against settling for less. It’s easy to chant the hook, and it stays in your head after just one listen. The message, on the other hand, lasts a lot longer, no matter what happens, don’t settle for an average life.

Knux Burgandy is becoming well-known in a way that seems real and important. His community is increasingly supporting him, and he is clearly dedicated to his work. The word “mediocre” isn’t just a word, it’s a reminder that being average was never the goal.
