After inking a deal with Fearless Records, DE’WAYNE has returned with his sexy new single, “synthesizer.” Inspired by the timeless groove of the Commodores’ 1977 chart-topping and Grammy-nominated single “Brick House,” which the four-piece penned “about the perfect woman—in their eyes,” DE’WAYNE infuses his own unique rockstar flair into his latest offering that captures a similar sentiment of all-consuming love. With its irresistible chorus echoing emotions of boundless affection, boldly proclaiming, “She’s a synthesizer/Baby, don’t you understand/She’s my heaven, she’s my earth/She’s my woman, she’s my man,” DE’WAYNE seizes the essence of a love that transcends conventional boundaries and breaks… Read more »

His lyrics are unapologetically honest, cutting straight to the substance of everything that has happened in the last 12 months. But rather than wallowing, Games We Play turns his pain into self-deprecating… Read more »
Hail The Sun has released their new single, “Secondary Worship,” via Equal Vision Records. With impressive guitar riffs that throw you back into the early 2000s metalcore scene, listeners are going to have their faces shredded off. The messaging of the track offers introspection of oneself. Frontman Donovan Melero explains that the majority of their music is about self-realization while learning to grow from past mistakes. “But it came from a darker place,” he explains. “While I haven’t mastered it, I’ve certainly gotten better at directing my energy into the places it’s better suited for. And the places I want… Read more »
