BRANDON LEAKE – INTIMACY
Over the last three years, Emmy Award-winning spoken word artist, educator, and America’s Got Talent Season 15 champion BRANDON LEAKE has experienced an unexpected panic attack, navigated his young daughter’s autoimmune diagnosis, faced financial uncertainty, and found himself asking questions many people are afraid to say out loud: Where is God? Is He still with me? Will He show up when I need Him most?
Rather than hiding those struggles, Brandon transformed them into his most vulnerable project yet, ‘Intimacy’, an album that explores fatherhood, anxiety, fear, healing, and the difficult reality that faith isn’t always certainty, sometimes it’s choosing to trust when life doesn’t make sense.
At a time when conversations around mental health, parenting, and vulnerability continue to resonate with readers, Brandon’s story offers an honest look at what it means to continue showing up for your family while quietly carrying your own fears.
‘Intimacy’ is now available across all leading platforms. Why not check it out below…
HANDSHAKE IN SPACE – IT’S GONNA BE ME AND YOU (FT. LINNÉA BRUSELIUS)
Scandinavian EDM and electropop project HANDSHAKE IN SPACE returns with single ‘It’s gonna be me and you’ – an intense celebration of togetherness, magnetic attraction, and sleepless nights on the dance floor. Vocal duties are handled by versatile artist Linnéa Bruselius, originally from Rättvik, Sweden, but currently based in Berlin’s vibrant music scene.
Driven by a tempo of 126 BPM, pulsating basslines, and dreamy synthscapes, ‘It’s gonna be me and you’ delivers a balanced blend of club energy and emotional electropop. The track captures that uncompromising feeling of being completely absorbed in the moment and each other—where the surrounding world fades away and nothing matters except the presence here and now.
‘It’s gonna be me and you’ is available across all streaming platforms. Why not check it out…
BEKREATIVE – SURFACE
Houston artist BEKREATIVE returns to the list, laying all his cards on the table with arguably his most vulnerable work to date, ‘Surface’. The reflective, genre-blending hip-hop track chronicles the prejudices he faces as a Black man living in America today.
‘Surface’ is now available across all leading platforms below. Why not check it out?
