Nikki Era – ‘MEGA’

The debut album ‘Mega’ by pop singer-songwriter Nikki Era is finally here! Inspired by her successful cover “Beating Hearts”, Era tapped into the 80s pop aesthetic and experimented with a range of modern and retro sounds to produce this new project. The album is the culmination of her five-year journey of self-discovery as she steps out of the shadows and establishes herself as an artist within the industry. This NYC local is no stranger to the sync world as she has written music for some of the top networks in the industry like MTV/Viacom, Universal, Netflix (Julie and the Phantoms), Hulu, SONY, Disney, WWE and Fox. As a songwriter, she also co-wrote the hit song “D.R.E.A.M.” by JoJo Siwa among many others. But now it’s her time to shine, so get ready for Nikki’s Era!

Certainly So – “Miss America”

They say all that glitters is not gold, and in Certainly So’s latest single, “Miss America” that phrase couldn’t be more true. Behind this upbeat and energetic indie rock melody are lyrics that ironically reference life’s hardships. Life is Miss America with bags beneath her eyes, staring through the window, saying, do I look alright? Although still fairly young, Colby Wilson and Tanner Gray’s thoughtful songwriting and production chops are far beyond their years. For fans of catchy indie rock bands like Arctic Monkeys, Vampire Weekend and Kings of Leon, the inevitability of future syncs is certainly so!

Ships Have Sailed – “Reflections”

The new single “Reflections” by the L.A. Alt-Pop band Ships Have Sailed is a profound exploration of human existence, purpose and resilience. This track delves deep into the essence of what it means to be human, contemplating how we navigate our paths, find strength in adversity and mirror each other when we establish genuine connections. The song draws inspiration from songwriter Will Carpenter’s childhood experiences: I remember wishing for more as a child growing up in poverty – constantly anxious and wondering whether life would ever get better. The most peaceful moments I can remember from this time were camping trips with my friends where we would literally climb up a mountain and lay on our backs under the stars, feeling a sense of kinship and purpose as we shared our hopes and dreams. I’ve been able to create a better life for myself, chase my dreams, build a home […]

JES – “All The Way”

Sometimes we have to ask ourselves, how much is too much? In JES’s latest single, “All The Way” she dives into the complexities of being a giver and how that can come at a cost. I am an all-in kind of person. A lot of the time, I am just not being objective about what is happening. We can all see ourselves as givers, and I can be guilty of using that as a badge of honor in how I see myself. The character in the song is doing the same thing and is not respecting herself or practicing self-care. It was that circle of exhaustion, perfectionism, guilt, and low self-esteem that inspired the lyrical ideas. I wanted to create a song that captures the bittersweet nature of love and the journey toward self-empowerment. Over the years, NY-native JES has carved out her own niche in Alt Pop and Dance. […]

Andre Mateo – “FULL MOON”

Much like the artist himself, André Mateo’s latest single “FULL MOON” is a well balanced dichotomy of English and Spanish, fast and slow, introspection and swagger. Built around a soulful electric guitar riff, this song oscillates between a romantic R&B vibe in English and a double time rap in Spanish. Growing up in both Boston and Puerto Rico, Andre has been creating music and perfecting his craft since age 13. As the co-founder of the artist collective Small Wrld Music Group, he’s best known for reggaeton mixed with other genres like reggae, R&B, hip-hop, and dancehall.

Curvelo James – “Las canciones que dejé”

In his new single “Las canciones que dejé” (“The songs that I left”), Colombian artist/producer Curvelo James taps into the nostalgia behind music and how those memories can connect us to special people and things from our past. With bright guitars and Curvelo’s signature emotional vocal delivery, this mid-tempo reggaeton track entrances you in an enchanting groove. When Puerto Rican rap and Reggaeton first arrived on the scene in Colombia, a 13 year old Curvelo James began his musical journey. After gaining recognition from prominent local producers DJ Numa and DJ Kano, he joined their independent company “Los que Zumban”, also known as “The Monsters Ink”. Since then he’s been hard at work mastering his craft as a producer, lifting up local rap talent from his hometown of Barranquilla.
