JupiterReign captures the thrill of fast-paced love in new single, ‘In A Rush’

Canadian singer/songwriter JupiterReign wanted to make a song that captures the excitement and spontaneity that often accompanies romantic connections that, not only explores the magnetic pull between individuals, but also embraces the carefree spirit that defines the thrill of being swept away in the heat of the moment.

Released on Valentine’s Day, her single, ‘In A Rush’ perfectly captures the whirlwind experience –  it paints a vivid picture of the thrill and passion that comes with the fast-paced nature of love, making it a perfect anthem for those who savor the playful and sensual aspects of their relationships.

‘In A Rush’ is the standalone single to JupiterReign’s debut album, ‘Jupiter’s Dreams’, slated for release later this year. The project is a sonic fusion, where soft R&B melodies, rhythmic hip-hop beats, and infectious Afrobeat rhythms converge to create an immersive musical experience.

OUT TODAY: Listen to Dior Ashe’s single, ‘Easy’

Rising Alt-R&B star DIOR ASHE delivers her new single ‘Easy’, a smooth and soulful cut about the complexities of love.

Driven by a desire to showcase a positive outlook on queer relationships, Ashe penned ‘Easy’ as a personal exploration of vulnerability, understanding, and the transformative power of compassion. Stepping into the shoes of both partners, the song acknowledges the inherent challenges of intimacy but celebrates the ease found in open communication, shared goals, and unwavering support.

“I wrote ‘Easy’ with the intention of manifesting my idea of a healthy queer relationship,” says Dior Ashe. “It’s about being seen, heard, and loved for who you are, navigating struggles together, and ultimately finding strength and solace in mutual understanding.”

More than just a love song, ‘Easy’ serves as a companion for listeners on their own journeys of navigating healthy connections. Dior’s smooth vocals and introspective lyrics weave a tapestry of relatable experiences, reminding us that vulnerability, empathy, and open communication are the cornerstones of lasting love, regardless of sexual orientation.

“‘Easy’ is not just a song, it’s a conversation starter,” Ashe adds. “It’s a reminder that healthy, supportive relationships are possible, and that we deserve to love and be loved without fear or judgment.”
