Hunter Daily – “Skeleton Key” (Video Premiere)

Hunter Daily

Today I’m excited to bring everyone a look at Hunter Daily and her new single/music video for ”Skeleton Key.” For those unfamiliar with this talented artist, she would fit in well for fans of Maggie Rogers, Lorde, and Mitski. Speaking on her new single and the inspiration behind it, Hunter shared:

’Skeleton Key’ is about a relationship that inevitably has to come to an end because you are no longer a match, like a broken lock and skeleton key. No matter how much you love that person and want to make it work, sometimes the damage is irreparable…sometimes the only thing left to do is to walk away. Originally, my sister and I wrote this song about her relationship ending, but later on, the meaning of the song changed for me…it became more about the falling out my sister and I had after we decided to no longer be in a band together, and at the time, it felt like the death of a part of me.

If you’re ready to discover your next favorite artist, you’ve come to the right place.

Tearing Up – “Said Something” (Video Premiere)

Tearing Up

Today I’m thrilled to bring everyone the new single from Tearing Up called “Said Something.” On this lyric video, Tearing Up channel the emotional part of the new single in a heartfelt visualization. The band is the solo project of Graham Caldwell, and he shared:

Billy Bragg’s ‘Sexuality,’ Dixie Chicks ‘Wide Open Spaces,’ Andy Shauf’s ‘My Dear Helen,’ Cindy Lauper’s cover of Joni Mitchell’s ‘Carey’… Even writing this list makes me misty. At the real root of it, I think I just wanted to write music that could make someone cry. Just something that would make a person feel something, realize something, or remember something they thought they’d forgotten. I hope I’ve done that with this record.

The track comes from Tearing Up’s debut LP, entitled Heavy, that will be released in the early part of 2023.

Seth Swirsky

Today I’m excited to bring everyone a brand new holiday single and video from Seth Swirsky called “Christmas Eve.” Speaking on the material of the track Swirksy shared:

The origin of this song is funny: I met a lovely woman at a Christmas party in New York City awhile back named Eve. We hit it off but she told me she was leaving the next morning to go back to LA, where she lived. I said, ‘I guess I have to wait till next year to see you at this Christmas party again, huh?’ And, for the next 3 years, that is when I saw Eve: on Christmas Eve at that annual party. She was literally my ‘Christmas Eve!

If you’re ready to fall in love with Seth Swirsky and his swooning Christmas-themed single, you’ve come to the right place.

Tireek – “Baby Boy” (Song Premiere)

Tireek

Today is a great day to share the latest single from R&B and rap artist, Tireek, called “Baby Boy.” On this song that fits somewhere between the styling of Frank Ocean and SABA, Tireek makes his unique stamp on the music scene. He shared,I based this song off of my personal experiences as well as the experiences of those around me. Growing up where I’m from can be very traumatic because there’s a lot of negativity, violence, lawlessness and more. The song talks about how that environment plays a role in the way you view the world and others around you.” You may have just discovered the music game’s next big name.
