Born from the vision of Dave Escamilla—who first made his mark as co-vocalist of Crown The Empire before parting ways with the band in 2017—his new project Stray View has arrived with force, unleashing the pummeling new single “Vivid” via Hopeless Records. “To sum it up, it’s about taking the beauty of life for granted…,” the band shares of the track. “We’re all fixated on perspectives that cause so much disdain and hatred, allowing it to change us in ways we never expected. The hook of the chorus, ‘Why are you shielding your eyes from a life that’s so vivid’… Read more »

Ahead of its official release, “cliché” made headlines when mgk was seen driving through Hollywood with the unreleased song… Read more »
