  • American singer-songwriter Sebastian Paul’s latest single ‘Back and Forth’ ultimately dispels needing a break

    Currently based between Los Angeles and Colorado, Sebastian Paul claims no specific city of origin as he grew up in a military family. The singer-songwriter, and producer has captivated audiences and fans with his two dynamic EPs, ‘Trojan Horse’ and ‘Boy Oh Boy’, both of which perfectly showcases his unique electronic synthy sound and unconventional pop vocals. His latest single ‘Back and Forth’ is a brilliantly mastered alternative Electro-Pop track that demands attention.

    The lyrics are drenched in emotion as his heartfelt vocals reveal inner thoughts of missing an ex-lover, aching for her presence. Sebastian described the emotion that drove the songwriting process as:

    Having very genuine feelings for someone, then having to cut them out of your life indefinitely… you find that the only thing you truly desire is to simply be able to talk to them again.

    Although the lyrics are somewhat dismal in nature, they are backed by a fun, catchy beat which incorporates steady guitar chords and a head-bopping baseline. Sebastian not only wrote ‘Back and Forth’, but the young artist also co-directed the music video for the track solidifying is creative range.

  • Young Dolph shares COVID-19-inspired song ‘Sunshine’: Listen

    Taking the time to reflect on the pandemic as an artist should, Young Dolph shares a timely record called ‘Sunshine’. It comes on the evening of the White House briefing. Known for his trapping and remaining independent, it is a different approach for his fanbase to consume but necessary. We hope fellow Young Dolph can consider how serious this matter is, and that they stay inside until given other directions to follow. It is stunning and responsible for the Memphis artist to release such a song after stating that he was retiring from music to focus on his family. (Pre-save the song via this link. It goes live at midnight EST.)

    Update (April 24, 2020, 12:07 AM): Now, you can listen to ‘Sunshine’ below.
