JENNA DEVRIES – FLAT EARTH
Nashville-based singer-songwriter JENNA DEVRIES‘ new single ‘Flat Earth’ isn’t flirting with conspiracy theories — it leans into them, using them like a funhouse mirror to show how heartbreak twists reality. The “flat earth” isn’t just a wild idea — it’s a metaphor for doubt, for the way your mind stretches to make sense of something you thought was solid but wasn’t.
The verses — “Maybe there was no man on the moon / Maybe birds are too good to be true / Powers that be aren’t what they seem / And you never really loved me” and “Maybe aliens built the pyramids / And Atlantis is where they all hid / In the depths so nobody believes / And you never really loved me” — float through impossible scenarios, almost playful, before folding back into that one quiet sting.
The conspiracies aren’t literal — they’re the emotional logic of someone trying to explain love that never existed. When the thing you trusted most turns out to be false, suddenly even the strangest ideas start to feel possible.
‘Flat Earth’ was released last Friday (24th April) across all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…
DAVE LENAHAN – FIRST
DAVE LENAHAN‘s new single ‘First’ is a heartfelt country ballad that explores love through the lens of vulnerability—the quiet fear of losing the person who means everything. Rooted in a traditional country sound, Dave’s emotional delivery shines throughout, especially in lines like “Hand in hand together till the end of time / But we can’t live forever, life is so unfair,” and the striking chorus confession, “I don’t wanna live a day without you on this Earth / I wanna go first.” The track also features Taylin Rae, whose harmonies add a beautiful emotional counterpoint.
‘First’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Have a listen below…
DANIEL LEYES – HA HA WEED IS LEGAL + STONER MATING CALL
DANIEL LEYES shares two singles – ‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ and Stoner Mating Call’ – for your pleasure!
‘Ha Ha Weed Is Legal’ is a celebratory anthem about cannabis legalization and cultural change. Inspired by New Jersey’s legalization and shaped by humor and social commentary, the track embraces freedom and challenges outdated prohibition with playful defiance.
‘Stoner Mating Call’ is a soulful, lighthearted love song built around a simple opening line: “Mama – if you wanna smoke some marijuana, honey I’m the man for you.” It blends humor and warmth into a relaxed, character-driven track.
Why not brighten up your day and check them out below…
XO SOUNDTRACK – CLOSE
XO SOUNDTRACK is back with another instantly addictive release, ‘Close,’ a track that pulses with emotion just beneath its glossy surface. From the first few seconds, it locks into a nostalgic groove, blending shimmering synth pop textures with an alt pop edge that feels straight out of early The 1975, but still distinctly its own.
‘Close’ was released last Thursday (23rd April) via all leading music platforms. Listen below:
BULLET BRAK – TAPPED IN

This release delivers raw energy, sharp lyricism, and a fully locked-in sound that reflects Brak at his most focused. Tapped In is more than a title—it’s a statement. Check it out below…
