Son Stone serves soul and memories in new single “Old Fashioned”
Son Stone’s new single, “Old Fashioned,” is a smooth sip of memories mixed in a soulful groove, a song that sounds like it’s been in your life forever yet lands with the freshness of the never-before. In this recording, Son Stone achieves a blend of traditional and contemporary music that fits just perfectly. “Old Fashioned” beckons listeners into a room where memories swirl like ice in a lowball glass. The backing instrumentation is lush and natural, a rhythm section that throbs with subtle confidence.
“Old Fashioned” impresses with its clever literal manipulations on the drink’s name and phenomenological dives into the depths of connection, longing and the kind of love that stays with you like an old favorite record. The words are not quite sad but affectionate for something that’s gone as an image dimmed around the edges. What’s unique about “Old Fashioned” is the ease with which it occupies two worlds. It could slot in comfortably next to soul classics without missing a beat, but there’s something undeniably contemporary about the production, the emotional clarity.
Stone’s “Old Fashioned” delivers an equally good performance. His vocal delivery is lived-in and earnest-sounding, he’s someone recounting a story they know by heart. There are no vocal acrobatics here, it’s about tone, control and emotion. In “Old Fashioned,” Son Stone offers a pocket of time. It’s listening to memories without regret, a way of letting the past breathe in the present. Whether you’re sipping a drink or contemplating just your thoughts, this is a track to spin again.

Amanda Fagan unveils lost love and regret on latest release “Forever Yearn”
Amanda Fagan‘s latest release, “Forever Yearn,” is a tragic love story of pride, lost opportunity, and the harrowing knowledge that some mistakes can never be undone. A young couple at heart, wild and almost in love, but whose pride prevents the relationship from flowering. Their story doesn’t end with seeing what went wrong. It hurts more because you don’t see it for years.
“It’s a song about breaking cycles, but the characters are caught in the consequences of their choices. They learn from their mistakes, but knowledge cannot change the past. What remains is the longing for each other, which gives the song its emotional weight and its title, “Forever Yearn.”
Inspired by Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, the song feels like a love story that never gets old. Fagan’s premise blends regret and longing, showing how pride can linger long after an alternative decision could have changed everything. So “Forever Yearn” is less about lost love than about two people wondering what might have been.

iLLLACAT brings sharp bars and catchy production with latest release “Like Dat”
iLLLACAT drops “Like Dat,” a Hip-Hop cut with punchy production, percussion, and synths that give the record movement. Bookie comes on the track and sets the tone immediately with the hard lines, “Get out of my face with the gas, we’re on the chase for the cash, if you’re moving fake I’ll pass, I’ll pack it, and I’ll put it in a bag.” The delivery is right there in the money, the movement, and staying away from anything fake.
The production leaves plenty of space to land those words. Percussion powers the track with synths adding another layer to the beat, a backdrop for the straight-up vocal approach. “Like Dat” maintains tight energy and, instead of overcomplicating its message, lets the verses do the work in terms of personality.
The line, “Steady making money while smoking a pain killer” provides another memorable moment and an insight into the attitude that runs throughout the record. iLLLACAT brings us “Like Dat”, a pure hip-hop joint with Bookie on the track. A catchy production that stays sharp, an assertive voice, memorable lines, and enough rhythmic punch to keep the record moving.
