IT’S TOO LATE – BRI FLETCHER

Built around smooth guitar textures, layered harmonies, and effortless vocal runs, the track feels both fresh and natural, allowing her storytelling to evolve without losing its emotional clarity.
Speaking about the release, Fletcher shares: “I’m super excited to step into a little bit of a new sound with this song. I wanted to stay true to my country storytelling roots but introduce some pop R&B vocal and production elements… ‘It’s Too Late’ is a song about being with someone you really like and trying to tell yourself you need to take it slow but realizing it’s already too late for that and you are all in.”
‘It’s Too Late’ is out today, 15th May via all leading platforms.
MIGHT BE A GOD THING – KIMBERLY DAWN

Speaking about the track, she shares: “We wrote this song over two years ago, and the second the title was said out loud, we all just knew… that was it. It came from those moments in life where something happens and the only way to explain it is, ‘that was a God thing.’”

NLM: Hey, thank you for taking part in an interview with NEW LEASE MUSIC. How is 2026 treating you so far?
MAB: 2026 has been a very intentional year for me so far. I’ve been focusing on growth, both personally and creatively, and being more structured with how I approach my music and purpose. It feels like a year of alignment, where everything I’ve been building internally is starting to come together externally.
NLM: You released your single, “What’s Done Is Done” (10th April). What is the public perception of the single so far?
MAB: People have been saying they really like the song online, which has been really encouraging. In terms of the deeper message, I haven’t received much detailed feedback yet on how it has impacted listeners personally, but I believe that will come in time as people continue to connect with the song.
NLM: What inspired you to produce/write the single?
MAB: The original inspiration for the song came from experiences of sexual violence, and it was first written around 2016. That was the starting point. As the song developed, particularly in the second verse, co-writer Luke Grant (GKID) helped shape it into something more universal. It moved beyond one specific experience and became something that also reflects toxic or unhealthy relationships more broadly, making it more relatable to others.
NLM: How would you describe the single’s sound to potential fans?
MAB: The sound is rooted in R&B, but it carries a fusion of Gospel, soul, and subtle reggae influences. It has a smooth and reflective feel, with an edge in the melodies and rhythms that give it depth. The message is Gospel-influenced, while the sound stays soulful and relatable.
NLM: What message would you like the listeners to take away from your single?
MAB: The main message is that your past does not define your future. Whatever someone has experienced, they don’t have to carry it as their identity. The song is about release, healing, and choosing to move forward. It also points people towards the understanding that through GOD, there is always an opportunity for restoration, clarity, and growth.
NLM: Are there any plans to release an official video for the single?
MAB: We originally filmed a video for the song in 2017, but due to some issues at the time, it wasn’t released. However, I’m currently releasing an AI version of the video this month, and after my EP release, I plan to rework and release a full official version.
NLM: If you had to feature one mainstream artist on “What’s Done Is Done”, who would it be and why?
MAB: I would say H.E.R., because of her ability to express emotion and vulnerability in a very honest and soulful way. Her style would complement the depth of the message.
NLM: What plans do you have in store for 2026?
MAB: I’m currently working on my first book, “How to Write Songs From the Heart”. I’m also developing my songwriting community and preparing a compilation project for emerging artists. Musically, I’m in the early stages of working on a 5–6 track EP and focusing on releasing music intentionally this year.
NLM: How can potential fans find you?
MAB: All platforms use the same handle: Instagram / Facebook / YouTube: @msalishabmusic
NLM: Finally, if music didn’t exist, what other profession would you do?
MAB: If music didn’t exist, I would still be doing something that involves mentoring and developing people. Teaching or coaching would naturally align with who I am.

DANI IVORY – NO OTHER WAY
DANI IVORY is back with her four-song EP ‘No Other Way’, a raw, unfiltered exploration of love, loss, and devotion. The project is a collective of soul, R&B, rock, country, and folk-pop, blending organic instrumentation with emotionally rich storytelling.Opening with ‘Looney Bin’ Ivory sets the tone immediately — messy, self-aware, and emotionally charged. Bright on the surface but layered with heartbreak underneath, the track blends organ, twangy guitars, and soulful textures that evoke Maggie Rose and Marcus King while staying rooted in Ivory’s signature sound: “I’ve been beating down every single door / I got no good shoes left to throw I’m looking for some more / I just can’t wrap my head tight around the thought / You’ve had enough of my love, don’t want me no more.”
The song captures the exhaustion, disbelief, and chaos of realising the love you’re giving isn’t wanted, with a chorus that makes the unraveling fully visible: “I turn into a wreck, a nasty mess / Mascara dripping, big hair flippin’ party bitch / I drink too much wine, I stay up all night / I’m a different woman when you’re roaming / Yeah I’m losing my mind to the looney bin.” Listen to ‘Looney Bin’ below…

Check out the video for ‘I’m A Good Woman’ below…
SHEYNA GEE – TWO WEEKS
