Stephan Folkes steps boldly beyond boundaries with “It’s None of Your Business (Bonus Track – Hazard Era)”
Stephan Folkes has always played around with different music styles, but in his latest release, “It’s none of your business (Bonus Track – Hazard era),” he takes it to a whole new level. This single stands out from his album Hazard, making its own bold statement and demanding attention on its own. Known for his powerful singing, Folkes surprises listeners by taking a different approach this time. Instead of fully diving into the emotional singing he usually does, he mixes elements of rap, R&B, and indie pop. The result is a unique sound that’s both edgy and smooth, supported by a moody beat that feels cinematic.
His rhythmic speaking flows confidently, with verses that blend poetry and performance, keeping listeners engaged with each line. What truly makes this track powerful is its mix of styles and the confidence that drives it. Folkes openly admits he’s not a rapper, yet this makes the song even more intriguing. Instead of sticking to one label, he allows himself to move between different rhythms and melodies, creating a vibrant musical experience. This daring exploration reveals new sides to his artistry and expands the scope of what his music can be. “It’s none of your business” captures the spirit of an artist exploring new territory and thriving in it.
While it’s labeled as a bonus track, it’s far from being an afterthought. In fact, it acts as a key to understanding Folkes’s creative journey during the Hazard era. The song invites listeners to join Folkes on a journey where boundaries blur and genres mix. It’s raw, confident, and completely his own. If this is what a “bonus” track sounds like, it’s clear that Stephan Folkes is an artist committed to experimentation, making every piece of music he creates just as important as his main work.

Charlie Cope captures fragile midnight emotions on new release “Burning Lullabies”
Charlie Cope unveils one of his most emotionally nuanced releases with “Burning Lullabies,” a song that quietly anchors his latest body of work while disguising its emotional weight beneath a brighter, bluegrass-leaning sound. The contrast between its uplifting musical character and its deeply reflective narrative creates a compelling and memorable listening experience.
Set against the stillness of a late-night moment, the song unfolds with remarkable intimacy. Cope sings to someone he has found again, yet there is a lingering awareness that the connection may already be slipping away. This delicate tension fuels the track, giving every lyric a sense of urgency wrapped in tenderness.
The bluegrass-inspired elements add an unexpected brightness to the arrangement, creating a fascinating balance between melancholy and warmth. The music moves with ease, while the lyrics reveal layers of uncertainty beneath the surface. This contrast allows listeners to experience the song on multiple levels, discovering new emotional details with each listen.

The Advocate Brigade discovers hope beyond the struggle on new release “Find My Way (Running)”
The Advocate Brigade’s latest release, “Find My Way (Running),” is a collaborative release with Gibson and Michael Hornbuckle, is a deeply resonant and emotionally rich statement. This heartfelt track is not just a song of perseverance, but a glimpse into the universal search for purpose, identity, and grace, in a world where so many people feel the pressure to measure up.
The song is about those times of uncertainty that are often at the heart of the human experience. It doesn’t provide us with easy answers, but it does acknowledge that we can feel lost, judged, or disconnected. It’s that honesty that gives the track its emotional weight, creating an instant connection with listeners who’ve dealt with similar things in their own lives.
One of the song’s greatest strengths is storytelling. The lyrics are thought-provoking and ask the listener to look past the expectations of the surface and rediscover freedom in truth. There is a genuineness that runs through every second, and the message flows organically, not like a sermon or a soap opera.
Gibson and Michael Hornbuckle, as well as the collaboration of The Advocate Brigade, make the release even richer. Each of the voices has its own point of view, its own emotional flavor, and the result is a performance that is multi-layered, true, and engaging. They turn the song into a collective conversation about resilience, inclusion, and self-awareness.
