Alt-pop artist Lucy Frost has just released her newest single, “Shit Kicker,” a lustful indie-pop track that captures the thrilling push and pull of falling for someone despite seeing their flaws. By blending dark humor with reckless obsession, the song explores the intoxicating urge of craving someone even though you know the relationship is fated for doom. “Shit Kicker” is now available on all digital streaming platforms. Her full-length album, Vitamins, will be released later this summer. Lucy Frost’s airy vocals immediately set the song’s magnetic and bouncy atmosphere, drawing listeners into its tension-filled narrative. The sarcasm and humor in the lyrics, such as “I think I’ll make you my fixation, take a little as a medication,” make the story light and digestible, but they also highlight the avoidant attachment style Frost has when it comes to being vulnerable with someone. The song’s intensifying percussion, combined with the steady bass, reflects the complex sensibilities that appear as new romances deepen. Frost encapsulates the tendency to romanticize someone and ignore the obvious red flags as fixation begins to outweigh logic. “’Shit Kicker’ is about falling headfirst, eyes closed, towards what will only be an inevitable downfall. It’s about crushing on someone who you know is bad for you, but you just can’t help yourself,” explains Frost. Read the full article

New York City’s newest alt-pop It Girl, Kiki Kramer, returns with her latest single, “prom king.” The sultry, atmospheric pop song captures the fading charisma of an older man still clinging to his golden days while an endless cycle of chasing validation and fleeting connections continues to consume him. Through her observant lens, Kramer exposes the gradual unraveling of a man refusing to let go of the intoxicating allure that at one point made him irresistible. “prom king” is now available to stream worldwide on all major music platforms. A video for the song can be seen on YouTube. Releasing alongside the single is the steamy music video, directed by legendary director Marc Klasfeld (Britney Spears, Charli XCX, Katy Perry). The “prom king” video features Kiki Kramer and actor Jake Manley (Netflix’s The Order, Lionsgate’s Do Not Enter) returning from prom in a limo as they drive back to a hotel. Shot at the famed Safari Inn in Burbank, CA, the video pays subtle homage to Clarence and Alabama from the 1993 cult classic, True Romance, also filmed at this location. The visual chronicles the night of two lovers who can’t keep their hands off each other as they move from limo to pool to hotel room. “‘prom king’ is a slow, haunting ballad about an older man, once a young, beautiful playboy, who refuses to grow up, still spending his nights at clubs seducing women much younger than him,” explains Kiki Kramer.

Pop artist Siena Fantini’s new single “causal kisser” is a bright and candid track that serves as a biting commentary on teen love. With an intoxicating beat and deeply resonating lyrics, Fantini delivers the perfect lamentation on young heartbreak. “casual kisser” is now available to stream on all digital platforms worldwide. If there’s one thing that’s universal, it’s the inevitable heartache of dating in your teenage years. Atop a sunny beat and catchy chorus, Siena Fantini gives a seething message to the guys who easily move from one girl to the next. Her honeyed voice creates an undeniable hook in the bridge and chorus as she sings, “date these girls for a month / act like you’re so in love / but I know you’ll always be / casual kisser / you won’t even miss her / you’re wrecking lives.” Her vocals blend perfectly alongside lively guitar from Grammy Award winner Andrew Synowiec (Alanis Morissette, Lil Nas X) and Kiel Feher’s (Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor, Lauv) bouncing drums. “‘casual kisser’ was inspired by the subsect of teen boys who are somehow able to bounce from girl to girl so casually, leaving this trail of heartbroken girls behind them,” Siena Fantini confirms. “It really shocks me to my core when a guy is so quick to move on, so quick to just start casually kissing people.

Back as abrasive as ever, Nick Moon returns screaming with his latest post-punk single, “Bonfire City,” off his upcoming record, Who is the Bone Man. Moon’s newest track oozes further into his punk influences, whining and waning throughout the 4-minute 18-second fever dream. “Bonfire City” is out now and available to stream on all major streaming platforms. Standing out above the illusive modge-podge of production, kitschy adlibs, and bombastic vocalizations by Nick Moon is the parallel play between the guitar and the bass. Dancing together in a twisted, ominously sensual string battle, they work together to keep “Bonfire City” grounded amidst Moon’s vocalized insecurities and turmoil. The song takes the audience on a frenzied, sleazy journey, featuring chewy Sonic Youth-esque cacophony that can steal any show. “Bonfire City” is exponentially more experimental than Moon’s previous release, “Setting Sun,” but it features the budding hallmarks of his artistry: obnoxiously absurdist lyricism, lawless guitar solos, and an indisputable lacing of irony and satire. “Sometimes this song frightens me because I feel like I haven’t written a better one since,” Moon explains. “It’s my favorite to play live because it’s so catchy and chaotic all at once.” The track is deceptively vulnerable in its paranoia, disguised by its groovy undercurrent and seemingly nonsensical wordplay.

Billy Ray Cyrus is ushering in a new chapter with the release of “On Our Way Along,” a heartfelt duet with his daughter, Noah Cyrus.

From there, it’s an up-tempo rock ‘n’ roll romp featuring chiming guitars, melodic bass runs, and a chorus vocal that steadily climbs until reaching the song’s highest note.
