Alt.Rock Visionary Chelsea King Descends Into “The Rabbit Hole”

0

Alt.rock artist Chelsea King steps into darker terrain with her newest single, “The Rabbit Hole,” a gripping exploration of inner conflict, transformation, and surrendering to the unknown. Known for anthems fueled by feminine rage and fearless storytelling, King expands her bubble-grunge sound into something more cinematic and immersive.

Recorded at Pentavarit Studios, the track features drum legend Atom Willard and guitarist Nathan Keeterle. Produced by Jackson Eppley and mixed and mastered by Bobby Holland, the song blends dreamy pop textures with raw, guitar-driven force. The atmosphere feels lush and hypnotic, pulling listeners deep into its emotional current.

“This song is about being afraid to evolve, but finding someone who sees every version of you and says, ‘Let’s go anyway,’” says King. “It’s about falling down the spiritual rabbit hole together – through the good, the bad, and the beautifully strange.” The tension surfaces in lines like, “I’m chasing my reflection down a neon hallway / But I can’t tell where the mirror ends / Or where I begin.”

Sonically rich and thematically bold, “The Rabbit Hole” delivers high-voltage emotion with striking vulnerability. A music video is on the way, and King is currently touring with Andy Bell of Erasure, continuing her rise as one of alt rock’s most compelling voices.

0

Global superstar and Diamond certified artist A Boogie Wit da Hoodie unveils the official music video for his acclaimed single “Part of Me,” directed by filmmaker Kid Art and streaming now. Shot in New York City, the visual pairs sleek, cinematic style with a dark, emotional undercurrent that mirrors the song’s introspective core.

The video unfolds through dramatic vignettes that spotlight vulnerability from a man’s perspective, capturing quiet tension and emotional weight in striking detail. Each frame reinforces the sensitivity at the heart of the track, wrapping mellow production in polished, big screen aesthetics.

“Part of Me” earned praise from NME, which noted, “A Boogie delivers softly spoken verses over a mellow and echoey minimal beat, with reflective synthesized atmospherics lending a sense of struggle and vulnerability.” VIBE added, “A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie reminded people why he is one of the most enduring acts of the last decade.” The response underscores the record’s emotional pull and cultural impact.

Building on that momentum, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie brings the song to the stage with a series of headline dates, with more new music on the horizon. The moment feels expansive, focused, and fully in stride.

German Post Hardcore Trio Future Palace Dive Deep With “Deep Blue”

0

Germany’s Future Palace continue their ascent with the release of “Deep Blue,” a powerful new chapter in the band’s emotionally charged post hardcore journey. Following the launch of their new era under Century Media Records, the trio lean further into their cinematic edge, pairing raw vulnerability with surging, guitar-driven force.

“Deep Blue” explores the fear of drifting away from the people who matter most, using the image of sinking into the deep sea as a metaphor for emotional distance and the weight of daily pressure. “It’s about the moment you realize you’re losing someone – or yourself – because everything around you becomes too overwhelming,” says vocalist Maria Lessing.

The accompanying video transforms that inner struggle into a dramatic underwater narrative. The band appear as a submarine crew searching for a friend who has isolated herself so deeply she becomes a siren, her defensiveness reflecting the distortion that loneliness can create. The visual lands with striking intensity and sharp symbolism.

Musically, the track sharpens Future Palace’s trademark fusion of melody and heaviness. “It combines our most addictive hooks with a fierce, guitar-driven energy – a mix of what ‘Run’ and ‘Distortion’ did best,” explains guitarist Manuel Kohlert. The result feels immediate, immersive, and unmistakably Future Palace.

Bernie Leadon Drops “Too Late To Be Cool” Nashville Shot Video

0

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Bernie Leadon releases the official music video for “Too Late To Be Cool,” the title track from his recent solo album. Filmed in the heart of Nashville, the country rock pioneer delivers a sharp visual statement that matches the song’s confident stride.

The video places Leadon as the only figure moving forward in time while a younger crowd moves in reverse around him. The concept builds toward a high-speed scene with Leadon behind the wheel of a Ferrari on a closed racetrack, a bold metaphor that underlines the message. No matter the era, Bernie Leadon remains cool.

“‘Too Late To Be Cool,’ is like lukewarm, indifferent, detached, uncaring, about what’s going on around us. Don’t take everything that we’re told as necessarily being true or accurate. Think for yourself, form your own opinion, and take no sh*t. But you can still be a nice guy,” says Leadon.

The GRAMMY Award winner continues a strong return following a 20-year hiatus. The founding Eagles member’s solo album earned coverage from Variety, Rolling Stone, Los Angeles Times, No Depression, Billboard, American Songwriter, MOJO, Ultimate Classic Rock, and Guitar Player. Recent appearances include performances with Trisha Yearwood and James Taylor at the Country Music Hall of Fame, a headlining set at AMERICANAFEST, and nationwide radio conversations that spotlight his enduring influence.

Former I Prevail frontman Brian Burkheiser officially launches his new solo venture, Scatterbrain, with a bold cover of Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made Me Do.” The post hardcore vocalist steps into a fresh chapter, reshaping the pop anthem through his own dynamic lens while signaling a new creative era.

Burkheiser shared, “To my fans: This year forced me to pivot in ways I never expected, and it tested me more than I can explain. But through it all, your support has meant everything. I’m excited to finally share a song with you. I chose this cover because it truly resonates with me and serves as a nod to what first sparked my career. I’m still working toward the day I can release my original music, but for now, I’m grateful to have found a way to put a piece of art into the world.” The result hits with emotional weight and renewed intensity, marking a compelling first statement from Scatterbrain.

Modern-Country Storyteller Jet Jurgensmeyer Two-Steps Into Romance With “Nothing On You”

0

Rising country artist and actor Jet Jurgensmeyer returns with “Nothing On You,” a smooth, heartfelt track that captures the rush of falling for someone who eclipses everything else. Co-written with Grant Bias and Hannah Dorothy Bristow, the song blends modern country polish with classic slow-dance romance, the kind that feels built for neon lights and worn wooden floors.

“I really wanted a song that would paint a beautiful picture of a love story,” Jurgensmeyer shares. “When Bias, Hannah, and I sat down to write together, I had this melody stuck in my head. I imagined it as a song that felt like two-stepping with someone in a Texas bar. The words naturally fell onto the page, and now we have a song that I absolutely love!” That vision comes through in every chorus.

Recorded at Farmland Studio in Berry Hill and co-produced by Jurgensmeyer and Dan Frizsell, the track highlights his continued growth as both writer and performer. Warm instrumentation keeps things intimate, while the hook lands with radio-ready confidence.

“Nothing On You” follows the breakout success of “Red,” which has surpassed a million streams and carried a unifying message that resonated widely. Its official video, filmed at Galloway Farms and directed by the Riker Brothers, leaned into sweeping rural visuals and American symbolism. With his 2024 album ‘The Ride: Phase 2’ already expanding his range, Jurgensmeyer continues to balance music and acting with steady momentum.

The album landed in the Top 10 on Spotify’s U.S. Album Chart, while tracks including “Highway Queen (feat. Maren Morris)” and “She Wants to Go Dancing” broke into AAA Radio’s Top 10.
