KENTON debuts the visual companion for “Vaporize Me,” a danceable, club-pop single off his full-length debut album, Sweetmouth. Driven by a mesmerizing, almost trance-like vocal performance and met with slick, funk-infused basslines and pulsing rhythmic undertones, this video channels groovy dance floor energy through a modern lens. The official cinematic visual “Vaporize Me” is now available on YouTube. “Vaporize Me” is a rhythm-driven video that brings KENTON’s internal thoughts to life in a cobalt-lit studio, cultivating an intimate, moody atmosphere. Dressed in a sleek, red ensemble, KENTON commands the room, while the presence of a shadowy figure dances behind him, embodying the heated tension that comes from a late-night entanglement. The concept for the video stems from the artist’s vulnerable inner dialogue, in which his reflections on mental confinement and the longing for escape led him to go with the current rather than swim against it. “When I feel trapped in my thoughts, I visit nature. There’s something about seeing the impartial, unrelenting motion of flowing water that reminds me that this too shall pass,” explains KENTON. While on the surface the song captures the essence of a flirtatious thrill in a fleeting connection, it also showcases a deeper meaning. In 2022, KENTON took a trip to Taiwan to see his family for the first time in nearly six years. Read the full article

Southern Rockers Hillbilly Vegas have released their new single ”I Hope You Know”.  The track is the 1st single from the Oklahoma based band’s upcoming album “A La Mode”, which is slated for release in May via Quarto Valley Records. “I Hope You Know” is a song about the chaos of a relationship that’s deteriorated to the point of no return. The song is driven by guitars with a southern style, rocking blues groove – with just the right touch of grit that the band is known for. The band’s Steve Harris says “I Hope You Know’ comes from a very personal experience in my life, but it’s a moment a lot of people recognize. It can be a romantic relationship, a friendship, family, or even a professional relationship. In my case, it was a professional relationship and a lifelong friendship that slowly deteriorated due to substance abuse. It’s realizing the person you trusted isn’t in control anymore, and that you can’t fix it for them. Sometimes the only thing left to do is let go and hope it gives them the motivation to fix themselves.” The video for “I Hope You Know”, which was directed by GR1M (Chase Matthews, Crucifix), was filmed in Oklahoma and produced by the band.  Harris explains the concept: “With the ‘I Hope You Know’ video, we paid tribute to where we come from and the music that built us. ’70s era rock was the greatest era of rock and roll. We kept it fun – like rock n’ roll is supposed to be and let the visuals reflect that golden age. Read the full article

The Club-Ready Follow-Up Arrives as “Operator” Tops the DRT Global Chart and Surpasses 2.5 Million Video Views Billboard-charting artist, dancer, fitness entrepreneur, and motivational speaker Shyra Sanchez announces her new single “Dance With Me,” out June 5. The release follows a breakout run for her debut single “Operator,” which hit #40 with a bullet on Mediabase, reached #1 on the DRT Global Top 100 Independent Airplay Chart for two consecutive weeks, and generated widespread airplay across the U.S. and the UK. “Dance With Me” is a Dance and EDM track built around a simple but visceral premise that music can be an escape. Where “Operator” introduced Sanchez’s high-energy sound to a global audience, this one leans harder into the club, designed to move bodies and quiet minds. In describing the message for this release Sanchez states: “There’s something about dancing that shifts everything, it pulls you out of whatever stress, pressure, or noise you’re carrying and drops you into a completely different space. When the music hits and your body starts moving, it’s like the world fades out for a moment. The worries don’t disappear forever, but they loosen their grip.” “That feeling, that escape, is what inspired the song. It’s about letting go, even if it’s just for a few minutes, and allowing yourself to feel free. When you dance, you’re not overthinking, you’re not stuck in your head, you’re just present and feeling the music and feeling the beat. Read the full article

That’s where it all started for me. ‘Raised On Radio’ isn’t just a tour name—it’s my roots and wings. It’s late nights with the dial turned low, chasing distant stations through the static. It’s songs that felt like they understood me before I understood myself. The radio was my teacher, my comfort, my escape. The songs playing through that radio shaped me as a dreamer and an artist.
