Nashville band XO soundtrack release official music video for single ‘Close.’

The intimate video for XO SOUNDTRACK’s latest single, ;Close’ keeps the focus exactly where it should be — on the emotion of the song and the chemistry within the band. Rather than relying on heavy storytelling, the visuals lean into natural performance moments that feel genuine, relaxed, and connected, giving the track an even more personal edge

That chemistry helps bring the song’s emotional weight to life, balancing the alt-pop atmosphere with something that feels human and real. It’s simple, fun, and effective — the kind of performance video that makes the band feel closer to the listener while reinforcing the addictive energy of the track itself.

‘Close’ is an instantly addictive, emotionally charged alt-pop track that blends shimmering synth textures with a nostalgic groove and an edge reminiscent of LANY and COIN, while still feeling distinctly XO soundtrack. Lyrically, it leans into heartbreak with unflinching honesty: “I tried to call you, but you won’t pick up the phone / I wonder if his house is just a home?” and “Everything I lost reflects in his eyes / You got his body holding you close tonight.” The chorus swells into obsession and memory — “I see your face in the window every time it rains… pacing back and forth until I go insane” — before landing on the raw emotional peak, “I wake up in cold sweats screaming out your name… I’ve got your blood running through my veins.”

What makes ‘Close’ stand out is its contrast — glossy, cinematic production wrapped around lyrics that feel unravelling and human. It’s not just a breakup song, but the lingering aftermath of one. Why not check out the video below…

Ashley Savage Turns Pain Into Power On New Track ‘Pressure’

Emerging artist ASHLEY SAVAGE is quickly proving herself to be one to watch in 2026, carving out a lane entirely her own.

Raised in the culturally rich state of Indiana — on the very same street where the Jackson family’s legendary journey began — her artistry is rooted in the soul of ‘90s R&B while embracing sleek, modern textures that feel both cinematic and radio-ready. Although she shares a geographical connection to music royalty, Ashley Savage is firmly focused on shaping her own future with a bold and innovative creative vision.

Her latest single, ‘Pressure’, offers the perfect introduction to her unmistakable sound. Blending elements of contemporary indie K-pop and atmospheric R&B, the track unfolds as a smooth mid-tempo anthem exploring the complexities of relationships. Each verse carries themes of resilience and emotional growth, while Ashley’s expressive vocal delivery captures the struggle of overcoming pressure, embracing healing, and emerging stronger through adversity.

‘Pressure’ is part of a wider body of work that Ashley Savage describes as a blueprint for “Commercial Crossover” — a sound that masterfully balances raw street-edge authenticity with polished luxury and mainstream appeal.

A Quick Chat With…Ms Alisha B

MS ALISHA B, hops into the hot seat to discuss her latest single ‘What’s Done Is Done’.The promising R&B singer also shares come exciting upcoming plans for emerging artists, so why not dive in to find out more!

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.
