Sienna Melgoza has dropped her new single “stitched on my tongue,” a passionate, enamored tune intended for deep-rooted emotions. The upbeat vitality in each line transports listeners to the feeling of becoming fully infatuated with another person. Themes of optimism and affection display themselves throughout the song, allowing audiences to explore their desires. “stitched on my tongue” is now available to download on all streaming platforms.

Beginning with a striking, booming beat, the fervent anthem makes the audience eager to get up and dance, while the lyrics create a passionate love letter. The captivating, catchy atmosphere mixed with euphoric melodies captures the feelings of excitement that come with falling in love. “‘stitched on my tongue’ is a fun take on a love song, meant for the people who feel deeply. “It was written based on the way I feel when I fall in love with someone,” Melgoza explains. “Now listening back to it, I feel hopeful about wanting to fall in love again.” Highlighting vibrant metaphors, the blazing spirit behind infectious rhythms, and powerful vocals, the song is the perfect addition to Melgoza’s catalogue. “stiched on my tongue” was written by Sienna Melgoza, Caleb Hulin (Avril Lavigne, Jonas Blue, Demi Lovato)  and Aaron Brohman (Demi Lovato, RECESS, Hobo Johnson), who also produced the single. Mixed and mastered by Mat Mainhard, “stitched on my tongue” creates an exhilarating, magnetic story. The promising integrity in her work summons listeners to go through the emotions of falling head over heels for someone. 

Known primarily for his work as the composer behind the iconic scores for Veronica Mars, High Potential, iZombie, Lethal Weapon, and more, Josh Kramon aims to expand his musical opus on the brand new atmospheric folk-rock project, KRAMON. Most recently, Josh is gearing up to receive a BMI Award on May 14th for his impeccable songwriting abilities. With the new project Evolutions KRAMON, Josh expands his artistry as a writer, musician, producer, and collaborator, delivering twelve original tracks that blend smart, introspective lyrics with infectious, upbeat pop grooves. 

Prepare to be moved. Urban Electro-Pop trio SIMIEN is ready to light up playlists and stages with their debut single “Utterly in Love”, released on the newly revitalized Konvict Kulture, the iconic label founded by Akon. Known for blending fearless vocals with unshakable sisterhood, SIMIEN is made up of powerhouse siblings Taeìdym, Jaiden, and Kamrein — three dynamic young women redefining what it means to lead, love, and live out loud. 

Rooted in their Creole Louisiana and Native American heritage, influenced by church gospel, and honed under the mentorship of legends like Akon, Teddy Riley, and Debbie Allen, SIMIEN’s music is a reflection of real-life experiences, generational influences, and creative autonomy. Their debut track “Utterly in Love” is a playful but powerful anthem inspired by a real-life “girl code” violation — when a boy tried to flirt with two sisters at once. 

“Utterly in Love is about not settling for the bare minimum and knowing your worth,” the sisters said. “We wanted to write something our fans could feel and stand behind. Respect between people — and especially between sisters — is everything.” 

Tennessee-raised band Colony House has shared the next installment of their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 77 (due out on September 5th) with new single “OK OK OK OK.” The track showcases Colony House’s signature blend of lyrical depth and sonic grit–and further highlights a band with rich history, experience, and continued vision for an elevated soundscape. 

Five-time Grammy-considered artist Stephen Thomas returns with his most ambitious project yet, The Universal Me, a 5-track EP that refuses to be confined to a single sound or story. Out now, the project blends R&B, country, pop, hip-hop and alt-rock in a seamless exploration of love, heartbreak, resilience and self-discovery.

After nearly a decade-long hiatus, The Albert Square returns with Swallow You Whole, a four-song EP that balances emotional vulnerability with a punch of punk-leaning indie rock. Out today via Sneak Dog Records, the project marks a powerful evolution for songwriter Sim Castro.

 the alt-rock artist dying in designer dropped the punishing, emotionally raw single “Endgame.” This is the third single to come out in his new chapter of music focused on darker, heavier nu-metal infused sounds. With the release he put out a new music video exploring themes of emotional collapse, toxic love, and the cycle of destruction and rebirth.

the California-based electric pop duo MOVIESTARZ announced their debut album FANTASY > REALITY. It is set for release on November 7th. With the news, they dropped a playful new single, “Records on Repeat” along with a spunky lyric visualizer. 

Based in rural Northern California, Musica Sierra is an arts organization dedicated to bringing high-level performance and much-needed arts education to rural and under-served communities. Led by Juilliard graduate and arts entrepreneur Lindsay McIntosh and her husband, three-time Grammy-nominated and Gramophone Award-winning tenor, Owen McIntoshMusica Sierra proudly announces today’s release of Garden.

Five years in the making, Lone Songs from Outer Space is the debut album from Stereo Roux— fully written, produced, and performed by the artist himself. It’s a cinematic journey through isolation, obsession, nostalgia, and late-night longing, told in 11 tightly crafted tracks that blur the line between clarity and chaos. From the surreal welcome of hello (¿?)—a playful, disorienting overture that feels like stepping into an alien theme park—to the restless groove of The Dilemma and the dreamy defiance of Pretty Pink Sky, Stereo Roux builds a world that feels both intimate and otherworldly. Shimmering guitar riffs, warped synths, and lyrical wit give the album its pulse, while moments of silence and static give it space to breathe. Lone Songs from Outer Space is a signal from somewhere far away that still feels close to home.
