ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH FT. JOHN DALY & DAN TYMINSKI – TYRANT

ANDREW MOORE & HOOCH‘s latest single, ‘Tyrant,’ is a gritty, blues-infused Americana anthem that explores the emotional toll of living under constant criticism, control, and negativity while ultimately finding the strength to reclaim your peace. Featuring Grammy-winning vocalist Dan Tyminski and PGA legend John Daly, the song transforms a deeply personal struggle into a message that resonates far beyond any one situation.

Daly’s involvement extends far beyond a feature credit. After hearing Moore and the band perform the song, he immediately connected with its message and became an active part of the project, serving as co-producer, appearing in the music video, and delivering the spoken-word closing that brings the song’s story full circle.

​”The song is awesome and I feel a lot of people go through divorces which really sucks and the song is just so good it really touched my heart the first time I heard it.” — John Daly

​Driven by Moore’s soulful vocal performance, heartfelt songwriting, and the band’s signature blend of blues, country, rock, and Americana influences, ‘Tyrant’ speaks to anyone who has ever felt weighed down by a relationship, addiction, family dynamic, workplace situation, or personal struggle that continually diminishes their sense of self.

‘Tyrant’ is released today across all leading platforms. Watch the official music video below…

INDIGO SYNDICATE – c e i l i n g s

INDIGO SYNDICATE returns with ‘c e i l i n g s,’ a laid-back, jazz-influenced track that reveals a more vulnerable side of the group while still holding onto the sharp lyricism and personality that define their sound. Built around themes of perseverance, self-reflection, and personal growth, the song explores the challenge of navigating uncertainty while continuing to move forward.

From the opening lines, the track settles into a hazy, introspective groove before expanding into an uplifting chorus that feels like a conversation with yourself: a reminder to keep going, trust the process, and focus on growth. The song balances emotional honesty with effortless cool, pairing hypnotic production, jazz-inspired textures, and memorable melodies that reward repeat listens.

Speaking on the track, Indigo Syndicate shares: “‘c e i l i n g s’ is a song about perseverance. This track is meant to reassure listeners that they are not alone and motivate them to keep trying. We felt the timing of this song was especially important. During such an intense and uncertain time across the globe, this is meant to help anyone who needs it.”

‘c e i l i n g s’ is out today via all leading platforms. Check out the official music video for single below…

BE KREATIVE – GODSPEED

After claiming the blog’s Album of the Week for a whole month for project ‘Lyric Cursive’ over on Instagram, BE KREATIVE is not sitting comfortable. Instead, he continues to slip out more material as promised. His latest album ‘Godspeed’ is a faith-based collection which seamlessly blends hip-hop with hints of Country Music – a must listen for devout hip-hop heads or anyone looking to expand their music boundaries. Check it out below…

JASON GRIFF X ALEX LUDOVICO – A LOT TO UNPACK

Nine months after their last collaborative release (Yesterday’s Weirdness…EP with Alaska), ALEX LUDOVICO and JASON GRIFF are back with ‘A Lot to Unpack’, a new 12-song LP that feels more like an EP, despite its 20+ minute runtime. The project spans a wide variety of lyrical subjects, ranging from politics to one-night stands to baseball to showing love to Westside Gun to just spitting crazy bars. Griff’s beats consistently offer a wild assortment of flavors irresistible to the head-nodders, club kids, and abstract wallflowers. He cleverly incorporates several unique instrumental interludes, tying tracks together into a fun, non-stop mix

The album features guest appearances from Jesse the Tree, Rapswell (of PenPals), Alaska, Zilla Rocca, and even a few words from the usually silent partner, Griff. ‘A Lot to Unpack’ is out now on all streaming platforms. Why not check it out below…

A Quick Chat With… Indigo Syndicate

Jharyss (pictured left), Sam (centre) and Preston – aka Nashville trio INDIGO SYNDICATE – have been a regular on NEW LEASE MUSIC’s New Music Roundup. Their music resonated with you guys as their single ‘DND – Do Not Disturb’ claimed the blog’s Song of the Month top spot in May.

Member Sam jumps right into the interview seat to discuss the inspiration behind the single, which forms part of their latest project,‘Briley Parkway’.

NLM: Hey, thank you for taking part in an interview with NEW LEASE MUSIC. How is 2026 treating you so far?

S: 2026 has been full of work, love, and growth. We have all been more motivated now than ever to continue to spread our positivity to anyone who is needing it. Overall, we’ve been doing the best we can with what we have, and that’s enough to say it’s been a good year for us personally.

NLM: You released your single, ‘DND (Do Not Disturb)’ back in February. What is the public‘s response of the single so far?

S: We have had nothing but positive feedback from friends, family and fans. It seems to be gaining quite a bit of traction with over 30,000 streams on Spotify alone, and we’ve seen a good number of those streams convert to real followers that we are more than happy to welcome to our community.

NLM: What inspired you to produce/write the single?

S: Both us and our fans were craving something you could dance to, so that was our main goal with releasing DND as our first single of 2026. We came with something completely different from what we released in 2025 and are proud to be continuously raising the bar.

NLM: How would you describe the single’s sound to potential fans?

S: DND is an alternative, multi-genre bop with a beat-change you’d never expect and lyrics that you can’t help but admire. If you listen to artists like The Kid Laroi or BROCKHAMPTON, you’ll like this one.

NLM: What message would you like the listeners to take away from your single?

S: While we love connecting to our fans through our lyricism, this track was more for the people who simply like a high-energy song they can bop their heads to. The concept is a little darker, touching on toxic relationships, but the song is meant to uplift the listener’s energy through the instrumentation and layout.

NLM: If you had to feature one mainstream artist on DND, who would it be and why?

S: We all thought The Kid Laroi would make a killer feature on this. The type of drums and topic are perfect for his voice and style. If we could list a second artist, Tank and the Bangas would absolutely murder a verse and really play into the alternative side of this song rather than the pop/rap tones it has. Shouts out to both of the artists mentioned. They’re truly incredible musicians we all three admire and tune into.

NLM: ‘DND’ forms part of your latest EP ‘Briley Parkway’, released last month. What’s the general theme of the project?

S: Briley Parkway is a small project that touches on toxicity in relationships. We wanted to keep dark pop as a recurring genre throughout every song while also touching on different struggles almost every person has gone through when maintaining relationships with family, friends, and/or romantic partners. However, coinciding with our true genre-bending spirit, we made sure each song has its own uniqueness by letting different genres seep through, including rap, rnb, bedroom pop and edm.

NLM: What plans do you have in store for 2026?

S: Maintaining our monthly release schedule has been our top priority. We work a minimum of two nights a week to ensure we can give our fans new music consistently. On top of releasing monthly, we have a few shows coming up in Nashville we are excited to be a part of and will hopefully be coming out with a few collaborations with other local musicians before the end of 2026.

NLM: How can potential fans find you?

S: We are Indigo Syndicate on all of your favorite platforms! You can find us on social media either @indigosyndicate or @indigosyndicatemusic. We also have a website, https://www.indigosyndicate.com/ where you can find information on recent releases as well as upcoming ones. Shouts out to our amazing team at Publicity Nation for making the coolest website a band could ever ask for. We love everyone over there to the moon and back. Besides that, you can find us playing in and around Nashville if you want to. :)

NLM: If music didn’t exist, what other profession would you do?

S: This is such a tough one because we are constantly saying there is nothing we’d rather do. Music is and will always be our purpose. If we had to pick something, it’d probably be related to social work or helping animals. We all share a mission of making the world a better place, so those fields are probably the only other ways we could do so.

We wanted to thank you, Tracey, and the entire team at New Lease Music for continuing to support us on our musical journey. We seriously appreciate any time you’re willing to spend on tuning in to our sound and learning more about who we are as people. Please remember to drink water and as always, spread love, not hate.

JULIE EDDY is back with a song that truly stops you in your tracks. ‘Bummin’ Cigarettes/ pulls you in from the very first note, setting the scene with ease. It carries that classic country feel, layered with nostalgic, smoky undertones that linger throughout.

Featuring Jake Matthew, his raspy voice slips in early, hinting at a past chemistry between the two. As he sings, “Been a while since I’ve been back here / Only gonna stay ’til the end of this beer… You were comin’ back up from fallin’ too hard / I was livin’ it up with a locked down heart / We both know we could take it too far / ’Cause we’ve been there before,” you can feel the weight of their shared history.

Julie’s voice enters on the pre-chorus, and from there, the two blend effortlessly into a catchy, memorable chorus: “I offer you a drag / You bummed a light / We got to talkin’ all night / Then one led to another / Seein’ nothing but each other… / Ain’t no flame to put out when it ends / It’s just bummin’ cigarettes.”

​The songwriting is sharp and witty, adding depth to an already compelling story. By the time Julie takes the spotlight in the second verse, you’re fully immersed in the rekindling of their connection.

​Paired with crisp, radio-ready production, ‘Bummin’ Cigarettes’ stands out as a strong single for Eddy. It’s the kind of song that feels both timeless and current, and one that showcases exactly why Eddy is an artist to watch right now.
