At just 17, MIKE37 is redefining what it means to blend genres and tell a story through music. Their debut LP, Hot Air Balloon , is a vibrant tapestry of soul, spoken word, trap, and classic hip-hop—an ambitious fusion that feels remarkably cohesive. Drawing from a lifetime of musical exposure, they’ve crafted an album that pays homage to the legends they grew up idolizing while carving out a sound uniquely their own. With tracks like “Put Your Camera Down,” which challenges the superficiality of modern life, and a mission to unite and inspire listeners, MIKE37 is proving that authenticity and heart remain at the core of great music. Your debut LP HOT AIR BALLOON  features a mix of soul, spoken word, trap, and classic hip-hop. How did you approach blending such a diverse range of styles while maintaining a cohesive sound? I believe that my extended music knowledge helped me blend all the different genres. I’ve been listening to a lot of music since I was a kid, and I always loved it with my body and soul. I remember my parents used to put MTV on the TV and let me dance in front of it; I was three at the time. My mum made me know artists such as Incognito, Rolling Stones, Elton John, Queen, The Cure, Depeche Mode, David Bowie, Michael Jackson, and Eminem, while my dad made me know Aretha Franklin, Anita Baker, Sade, Jamiroquai, Pharrell Williams, Stevie Wonder… And these are just a few of the artists they made me know. Growing up, I started to listen to Tyler, The Creator, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Nas, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, Mac Miller, Daniel Caesar, BADBADNOTGOOD, Erykah Badu, Cleo Sol, MF DOOM, and many many others. The track PUT YOUR CAMERA DOWN  delivers a powerful message about confronting superficiality. Can you share more about the inspiration behind this song and what it means to you personally? In PUT YOUR CAMERA DOWN, the message is to always be true to yourself and to others, to not hide behind a mask, and to never judge other people. The key to a good life is to always surround yourself with good vibes. You’ve stated that your mission with your music is to unite people and inspire them to overcome challenges. How do you feel HOT AIR BALLOON  achieves this, and what feedback have you received from fans that reinforces your goal? I’m happy that many people understood my vision and liked it. I feel like I haven’t reached my goal yet; I still need to push forward to really be able to inspire young people like me and let them love the pure nature of music. As a 17-year-old artist who has already performed internationally and collaborated with renowned talent, how do you balance your creative growth with the pressures of an industry that often demands quick success? An Artist should be able to build himself and always do what his heart wants to do. The music industry is a hard path, but if you’re consistent, you can achieve your dream. The balance between creative growth and the pressures of the industry is yourself; you can decide whether to be an industry plant or build your career through a true love for music. From starting as a DJ to producing your own music and now performing your vocal tracks, what has been the most rewarding and challenging part of your artistic journey so far? My most rewarding part was to leave behind something I clearly didn’t feel like doing anymore and begin a new journey. I really wanted to express my thoughts and feelings, and I felt like the right way to do it was through my own lyrics and my own voice in my productions.

Photo by Habiyb Shu’Aib Born in 2016 in the heart of central New Jersey, Jake Foy, Joe “Dim” Wolstenholme, and Jaime Parker defy convention by swapping instruments—bass, drums, guitar, and keyboards—with an effortless fluidity. Fueled by their collective curiosity, Alpha Rabbit blurs genre lines to create a soundscape that’s equal parts vibrant, introspective, and wildly fun. Each member’s unique style weaves into the mix, forming a musical tapestry that’s as unpredictable as it is captivating. "Temperatures" has been in the works since the band's inception in 2016. Can you walk us through the journey of how this song evolved from fragments to a fully realized track? What challenges or breakthroughs defined the process?" Jake: Temperatures is almost ten years in the making. Jaime had a demo of the song before the band was formed. Although it is one of our first songs, the band had difficulty getting it to gel after attempting several iterations. Jaime: When the band started, I had the first few lines and corresponding melody written. At the time, I was hungry to find bandmates who were eager to play, so I recorded a demo of the song in my basement using GarageBand and posted it on Bandcamp. I wanted an example to show other musicians the kind of stuff I was writing. The version I recorded was very dreamy and spacey. Some of the lyrics I used were pretty silly. There were nerdy lines containing references to Star Trek and Star Wars. I knew the song wasn’t finished, but I was hopeful that posting that fragment would help me find the right bandmates. A few weeks later, Jake, Dim, and I met up to play music together, and we’ve been playing together since. Dim: We would pull Temperatures out every couple of years, until finally we decided to do a refinish of the whole thing. Jake suggested we do a Phil Spector sort of girl group arrangement, and I had a guitar lick that paired perfectly with it. The song took off from there and never came back. The music video for the song explores an interstellar love story. How did Tony and Sara from DIWhy? bring this vision to life, and what was the experience of filming the video like for the band?" Jaime: First off, Tony and Sara and the DIWhy? crew built a spaceship. Holy crap. They get a standing ovation for that. While the exterior of the craft is their CGI expertise, the interior is completely made of found objects that they painted and arranged to look like something from a major motion picture. Really, being in the craft they built was magical. It was very hot when we filmed it, so we had to keep taking breaks and wiping away sweat. But the result was totally worth all the hard work. Jake: We have collaborated with DIWHY? on so many projects. They have done our music videos, album covers, and even a bunch of our show flyers. When we told Tony and Sara that we wanted to release  Temperatures  as our second single, they came back with this fantastic space idea. At first, they didn’t even have a role for me! So I politely suggested that they write me in as Jaime’s “hologram music dude” while she is on her space journey. DIWHY? turned that concept into a comical reality! Dim: We had absolutely no idea what our real parts were when we arrived to shoot. We only had a vague notion of the overall story, but the whimsical chaos of the production really comes across with authenticity, which is important to the band. We are always shocked to see the final product after living through the shoot! Your music has been described as a mix of genres, and "Temperatures" combines the influence of The Ronettes with the energy of a Springsteen anthem. How do you balance these diverse styles to create a cohesive sound, and how did this approach shape the song?" Jaime: For Temperatures   to really come to life, we needed to learn each other’s styles and how to fully trust each other musically. The version we recorded on  Let it Grow  still has a bit of the spacey quality that I lean toward, but it also incorporates Jake’s ability to channel the “wall of sound” influences. Dim helped fine-tune and add the right lyrics and inspiring hooks, and he arranged the piece so it felt complete.”  Jake: The song simply worked well when we dug into the sounds we all grew up with. Dim nails a Clarence Clemmons-esq solo on guitar, the harmonies swell, and the arrangement was so fun for us to write and record. We took lots of liberties in the production. Dim: The band has so many diverse influences. Our musical influences are a huge part of our discourse after all these years. We all still introduce and expose each other to new music and styles. When we align on a theme or direction, we come together effortlessly in the studio. Our collaborative attitude is one of the band’s strengths. The band has a unique dynamic, with members swapping instruments and blending different styles. How has this versatility influenced your sound and songwriting process, particularly on your new album,  Let It Grow ?" Dim: The band discussed really trying to stretch ourselves and branch out on this album. We wanted to make a record that we ourselves would love to hear. Jaime: On  Let it Grow , we let ourselves off the leash. In previous albums, we tried to create the sound you would get if you came to see us play live. For  Let it Grow , we just said “full speed ahead." If we wanted to add an instrument or layers that we were unable to replicate live, we went ahead and recorded it anyway. In the live version of this song, Jake plays drums and sleigh bells while playing keyboard (which is still a lot), I play bass, and Dim plays guitar. In the studio version, Jake plays drums, piano, keyboard, and hand percussion; I play bass, hand percussion, and accordion; and Dim plays multiple tracks of guitar.  Jake: Once we got past even caring whether we could reproduce it all live with just the three of us, we were able to bring the songs on  Let It Grow  to a great place. It is a bigger production than our prior records, but we still pulled it off ourselves. The band is fortunate that we can play so many instruments! This recording, in turn, pushed us to include more in our live performances. We now are incorporating songs where Jaime or I play keyboards and drums at the same time. Maybe Dim will be next? Jaime: We also owe so much to Sean Glonek at SRG Studios. This is our second record with Sean. Not only is he our producer, but the band swears he manifested parts that we didn’t even play! He is, without doubt, the fourth member of Alpha Rabbit. This song tackles the complex theme of wanting closeness while pushing others away. Why was this an important message for you to convey, and how do you hope listeners connect with it emotionally?" Jaime: Humans are confusing. We do things that don’t make sense. We get in our own way. All the time. We are an imperfect species. But if we embrace our own imperfections, maybe it can be easier to forgive the imperfections of others. That is a necessary step to harmonious living. And who doesn’t want that?”  Dim: The new album is a love story. And this song is the scene where the lovers have to let go. The band has all been through relationships, platonic and otherwise, that ended up toxic. Or strained, or for whatever reason, you have to say goodbye. It is not always clear if separation is the right answer, and that is okay. This track documents the struggle, for better or worse. What's next for you in 2025? Jaime: In 2025, we plan to record another album." It will contain songs about the human condition that we are currently working on. Jake: I am ready for us to record a new album! Write more songs. Maybe learn the French horn. Dim: I am excited about our new material. We are just starting to get it out at our live shows. That is always a good step in our refining process. Cheers!

Anthems for the Abandoned have dropped a sonic haymaker with their new single, " Black & Blue ." Combining the grit of hard rock with the intensity of metal, this track delivers an unrelenting wall of sound that’s equal parts chaos and catharsis as we brace ourselves for an Anthems for the Abandoned original. From the first chugging riffs on the guitar to the last fiery note, "Black & Blue" hits like a crashing wave. Drawing inspiration from legends like Type O Negative, Linkin Park, and Sevendust, the band harnesses thunderous percussion and distortion-heavy textures to create a sound that’s raw, visceral, and, frankly, quite impossible to ignore. We love how the heart of "Black & Blue" lies in its powerful lyrics. Through stories of tragedy and pain, Anthems for the Abandoned craft a narrative that’s as bruised as it is unbreakable. This song touches on themes of hardship, sure. But more importantly, it’s an anthem for picking yourself up and fighting back. The band’s ability to balance this emotional depth with their amplified energy is nothing short of electric. The vocal delivery feels like a battle cry charged with grit, passion, and just enough vulnerability to let you know this fight is personal. Combined with the heavy yet melodic instrumentation, the song strikes the perfect balance between ferocity and hope. Anthems for the Abandoned have proven they’re forging connections through shared struggles and triumphs. With "Black & Blue," they invite listeners to scream along, rage together, and find solace in the storm, something accomplished by rock music's finest artists.

Think of the Super Bowl as the latest chapter in humanity's long love affair with ball games. It's fascinating how a simple game played by Roman soldiers has evolved into what we now know as America's biggest sporting spectacle. This journey, spanning thousands of years, tells people something pretty incredible about how we humans love to compete, celebrate, and come together around sports. Picture Roman soldiers tossing around a small ball in a game called Harpastum. They weren't just having fun – they were keeping fit and sharp for battle. The way they moved, passed the ball, and worked in formation would look surprisingly familiar to any modern football fan. This ancient game was just the beginning of a story that would eventually cross oceans and centuries to become something much bigger. The Birth of an American Tradition The Super Bowl has grown dramatically since its debut in 1967. What started as a championship game has transformed into the most-watched television event in America, fundamentally changing how the world experiences sports as a society. Since it has become modernized and visible on a global scale, people are even placing bets on the Super Bowl on betting sites without gamstop to further enhance the experience and accuracy they experience. Ancient Roots and Modern Evolution As you trace the path from those dusty Roman fields to today's high-tech stadiums, you'll find the DNA of football woven throughout history . Medieval towns would clear their streets for ball games during festivals, much like people now clear their schedules for Super Bowl Sunday. It's particularly interesting how these games have always been tied to celebration and community – something that hasn't changed even as modern betting has added a new dimension to how people engage with the sport. Cultural Impact and Transformation The  Super Bowl  has become much more than just a game – it's a cultural phenomenon that shapes conversations,  advertising,  and even social calendars. Companies invest massive amounts in Super Bowl advertising each year, demonstrating the event's enormous cultural impact. From the halftime shows that rival the biggest concerts to the commercials that people actually want to watch, it's evolved into entertainment on an unprecedented scale. Modern Significance and Global Reach The Super Bowl now reaches viewers across nearly every country in the world. It's no longer just America's game – it's become a global celebration that brings together people from all walks of life. In many ways, it's the perfect example of how an ancient sporting tradition can evolve into something that transcends borders, cultures, and time itself. Whether you're watching for the game, the ad,s or just to be part of something bigger, you're participating in the latest chapter of a story that began thousands of years ago on those Roman fields.

MikeTheYoungin’ brings more than beats and bars to the rap scene—he brings a story of grit and grind. Born in Athens and raised in Germany, this 18-year-old artist grew up navigating the challenges of being an immigrant, facing discrimination, and striving for success in a new country. His latest single, “CASH FLOW,” dives headfirst into the hunger for success that has driven him from day one. Lines like “All I want in my life is some cash flow, I can’t trip over shit if I’m mad broke” hit hard and make it clear that MikeTheYoungin’ is after one thing and one thing only. The single’s sound pulls from melodic rap and RnB, blending smooth rhythms with intense lyrical delivery. Every line has a bite, layered with subtle flows that make the message land. Growing up as an immigrant kid in Germany, Mike faced his share of discrimination, but rather than let it beat him down, he turned it into fuel. English quickly became his lyrical weapon of choice—a way to reach beyond borders, connect with a global audience, and let his voice be heard. With “CASH FLOW” setting the stage, MikeTheYoungin’ is gearing up for something even bigger. This track isn’t just a one-off; it’s the lead single from his upcoming tape, dropping this January. Fans can expect more of that raw, reflective energy that defines his style, along with the ambition and grit that have driven him since day one. We’re excited to be celebrating the official release of your track, “CASH FLOW.” The lyrics in this track touch on ambition and self-worth. How have your own goals and ambitions evolved since you started making music? Thank you so much for having me! Ever since I started taking my career seriously, I realized I wouldn't get far if I didn't start working on setting goals for myself and improving my art daily. The reality is that motivation alone won't get you far. You have to have discipline because motivation will eventually run out. Every day, I wake up, and the first thing I do is write a whole verse. It doesn't matter if I'll eventually use it in a song or not; it's about training my mind to write a verse, even if I'm not feeling it. I've hit every single goal I set for myself this year just by pushing myself to work, even when I don’t really want to. In “CASH FLOW”, you talk about the desire to “get what I’m owed” and “not settle for less.” Can you share more about what that mindset means to you personally? While I was growing up, my momma always used to tell me, “Don’t ever forget, you are able to do everything you can possibly imagine; you just have to put your mind to it and respect yourself.” That mindset naturally stuck with me. Through all the ups and downs, no matter how desperate times might get, I’ll always put my self-respect first and never walk away with anything less than what I deserve. Can you walk us through a lyric that means a lot to you from “CASH FLOW” and share what you hope listeners take away from it? A lyric that really means a lot to me is on the first verse where I say "got busted up walls and ceilings". That shit really hits me hard 'cause that's what im going through. Our studio got busted up walls. And it's a garage so like ain't no relaxing in it, we straight freezing in the winter. But that's really a motivation factor for me. Makes me want to work harder. You’re currently focused on expanding your audience in the U.S. How do you plan to keep your identity and story front and center as you grow? That's a good question. Since my current audience is based in the US, mainly in Houston, TX, and NYC, I know I'm going in the right direction. I believe my identity and story will follow through with the music. The music caught your attention, but my story and me being me will keep you around. I got a deep love for expressing what I feel through my verses and those who can relate and put they selves in my shoes, I know for sure they're going to stick around. “CASH FLOW” was the lead single for your upcoming tape release. Will this upcoming tape in January feature any collaborations, or are you planning to keep this project solo to showcase more of your personal journey and style? Yeah, that's correct. 'CASH FLOW' is the lead single for my upcoming tape, "THE BIGGER PICTURE - EP," which will be dropping this January. The tape will feature JAY Millz, one of the most talented rappers coming straight out of Houston. It was a pleasure getting to work with him, and I hope we gon' run it back on some future projects. Another collaboration on the tape is a very talented artist who I've collaborated with before on my last tape "I TRUST ME - EP." Her name is Adna Loy, and I'd suggest you check her out if you like some soulful RnB. I'm putting ya'll on right now. Make sure to tap in on my next tape coming this January. I got some heat prepared. Instagram X

What inspired you to take that initial step to start pursuing music seriously? To be honest, it started when I met the love of my life, my super-talented boyfriend.

There’s an accompanying video for “In My Body” (available on YouTube) right? What was the inspiration behind those breathtaking scenes and what was your favorite part about bringing the music video to life That summer we were traveling through Georgia and were so inspired by this amazing, majestic nature. And we decided that we should make a music video here. It was pretty spontaneous, we found everybody and everything we needed for 2-4 days. My favorite part was when we decided to check materials at home…. I was shocked so much because the reality was even much better than my expectations. What do you want your fans to feel when they hear your music? I want my fans to feel freedom and love for themselves when they hear my music. I want them to become more confident, and happier and realize that everything they want is real if they love themselves and believe in themselves  What’s next for Innacence, and is there anything you’d like to say to your fans? Of course, I have other songs and ideas, what is next I would like to say to my fans, but I want to make a surprise. I hope you'll have enough patience.  Thank you so much for such amazing questions, I was happy to reply

Sometimes, you have to have the courage to let someone love you. Hailing from Bogotá, Colombia, singer-songwriter Juliana Beltrán has been quietly but steadily amassing a loyal following in the Latin pop scene. With her sultry vocals and freeing lyricism, Beltrán has proven herself a compelling voice in contemporary music. Her 2018 debut EP, produced by Grammy-winning musician Juan Galeano of Diamante Eléctrico, hinted at the artist’s immense potential. That promise was fulfilled with her breakout single, “Hasta Que Te Encontre,” amassing over 2.5 million streams and earning a spot on Spotify’s “Mediodía Acústico” playlist. Although it would have been easy to rest on her laurels, Beltrán’s hunger for greatness would not let her sit still. Having caught the attention of the masses with “Hasta Que Te Encontre,” releases like “Think About,” “Si Estamos Solos los Dos,” and “Mapa Ni Reloj” proved that Beltrán was way more than a one-hit-wonder. In fact, “Think About” even landed on Spotify’s popular “Viral Hits” playlist, cementing her reputation as an artist capable of balancing radio-ready hooks with emotional depth. Soft and graceful, Beltrán’s latest single, “ Once More ,” marks a return to her singer-songwriter roots while embracing the textured sounds of Latin pop. The track explores the delicate tension between vulnerability and self-preservation, something anyone who’s been in love can relate to. About “Once More,” Beltrán says that the song “is about giving yourself a chance to let something good happen, without falling back on old habits and patterns.” Beltrán’s tender, vulnerable vocals definitely sell this feeling, and the song’s introspective lyrics are cradled by lush acoustic arrangements and a rhythm that mimics the nervous yet sweet butterflies we feel in romance. Juliana Beltrán’s latest release, “Once More,” is a tender, charming reminder that sometimes we have to look forward and choose to let good things happen to us rather than remain shackled to the past. “Once More” explores themes of vulnerability and self-preservation, right? How did your personal experiences shape the lyrics and emotion behind this song? Thank you so much! This song is so personal and truly the realest I’ve been with how I’ve felt (and still do) in relationships. In the past, I’ve struggled with overthinking, anxiousness, and spiraling over the simplest things. It’s really hard to put ourselves out there and face rejection in the process. I’m learning that there is so much power in owning that truth and wearing your heart on your sleeve. It was so beautiful to be able to put these feelings into words and music. Your music blends singer-songwriter storytelling with Latin pop textures. How do you strike a balance between these two influences to create your unique sound? To be honest, it’s taken a long time to blend these two worlds. I’m still finding the right balance in each song I write. As a Latina, I’m very passionate and hopelessly romantic, and I think that part of me comes out really fast when it comes to songwriting. The part that I find tricky at times is marrying that with the right modern sounds so that it’s as authentic and relatable as it can be. Working with Grammy-winning producer Juan Galeano on your debut EP must have been a transformative experience. What lessons from that collaboration have stayed with you throughout your career? I learned so much during that time. It was so empowering to be trusted with my own lyrics and melodies, to be told that I was enough and encouraged to keep doing it. Working with someone who has so much to offer in wisdom and expertise was incredible. I felt like I was treated as an artist and not as a young girl trying to be one. It taught me how to stand up for myself in a room full of older (usually male) producers. Your breakout single, "Hasta Que Te Encontré," and subsequent releases like "Think About" have resonated with a wide audience. How do you keep evolving while staying true to the sound your fans love? Those songs have made it clear that I can be dynamic as an artist and not stay within a box. They are quite the opposite in terms of production and sound, so the fact that people love those two shows means that I can keep evolving and showing up as the artist I am today. As I mentioned earlier, it is an ongoing journey. As an artist and as a woman, I keep changing and transforming, so my music will naturally do that as well. “Once More” feels incredibly intimate and reflective. How do you hope listeners will connect with the message of giving yourself another chance at love? I hope whoever listens to it can recognize how normal and human it is to have these feelings. To want to love and be loved safely and beautifully. There is so much negative self-talk regarding how we see ourselves and are presenting to someone else, especially romantically. I hope we can trust our emotions and be honest with how we feel and think, as I think that would probably lead us to the right person who is willing to show up the same way.

Giselle , the multi-talented songbird from Buffalo-turned-Los Angeles dreamer, has once again made her mark with her latest release, COLD . This isn’t just a song; it’s an emotional excavation wrapped in haunting melodies and raw storytelling. If heartbreak had a soundtrack, COLD would play on loop. Let’s start with the basics. Giselle isn’t your average singer-songwriter; she’s practically a one-woman orchestra. She plays piano, drums, guitar, violin, and ukulele. Honestly, is there anything she doesn’t do? Having sung since age five and penned lyrics since she was eight, Giselle’s love affair with music is as enduring as it is passionate. After gigging her way through Buffalo and surrounding cities, Giselle took the bold leap to Los Angeles at 21, chasing the dream with the determination of someone who knows there’s no Plan B. Her resume glistens with performances at iconic venues like The Hotel Cafe and Whisky a Go Go, and it’s clear she’s not just here to play; she’s here to stay. The Song COLD is a sonic sucker punch. From the first note, you’re pulled into an icy emotional vortex, where love, once warm, has frosted over into something distant and unrecognizable. The instrumentation mirrors this transformation, with delicate piano lines dissolving into aching strings and beats that echo like a heartbeat breaking. Lyrically, Giselle cuts straight to the marrow. She reflects on a partner who’s grown distant, singing with a voice that’s equal parts vulnerability and strength.
