The Sunshine State Releases a New Indie-rock Single “BOB”

The Sunshine State shares on her new indie-rock single “BOB,” due out next week. The flourishing project is the work of distinguished songwriter Skyler Stonestreet who’s known for penning top hits for artists like Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, Lennon Stella, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Hailee Steinfeld, and many more.

The Sunshine State has been heralded by tastemakers like American SongwriterThe Line of Best FitNotionEarmilkCULTR, PopMatters, and several others for her previous releases “Things Changed” and “Dating A Drug Dealer” (written by Skyler, Hayley Gene Penner (Lennon Stella, Charlotte Lawrence), and Nick Monson (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez)). Stonestreet brings her dextrous songwriting and revered indie sound to life in The Sunshine State.

“Bob is a classic bad boy,” says Skyler on the new single. Warm, gritty guitar and hazy percussion color the summery soundscape and The Sunshine State’s confident, glassy vocals add an intimacy to the song that can quite be described. “This song is bonfires and beer bottles crashing on the floor. A chipped tooth, a quick fling, and the feeling that sometimes it doesn’t matter if the person is right or wrong for you because freedom and new adventure are the only things on your mind.”

“With another banger in the bank, it’s only a matter of time before Stonestreet starts cashing in.” – Billboard

“The single possesses Stonestreet’s innate hit-making prowess” – PAPER

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
