Tod Lippy – ‘Ambitions’

Tod Lippy found time between production of his award winning arts journal, ‘Esopus’, and other projects, to hone his talents in songwriting and home-recording. He’d studied classical guitar for more than a decade, and as each edition of ‘Esopus’ came with a CD of music he’d commissioned, it was probably about time he started making some of his own. Out now is his new single, ‘Ambitions’, which comes from his latest album, ‘Yearbook’, set for release on June 25.

Gaten – ‘Add Up’

Young Atlanta vocalist Gaten has this year been releasing music at a furious pace, with fans enthralled by the series of new songs he’s dropped ahead of ‘Opp-eration Z6ne’, his hotly anticipated mixtape. Pairing each track with a video that takes the viewer deep into the world he’s rapping about, his latest track, ‘Add Up’ is no less compelling, and indeed, is the catchiest, and the most dynamic song in the run of singles, and the clip, produced by Global Visionz, will immerse viewers in a way of life that most people never encounter.

Stringz EMB – ‘Lights On’ ft. Will Buchanan & Katarra Parson 

Gregory Bowdry, AKA Stringz EMB, has been on the St. Louis scene and beyond since 2014, and is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and record producer. He’s toured across the US alongside artists such as ATG of Discrepancies, Bubba Sparxx, and Murphy Lee of the St. Lunatics. With an almost eccentric blend of crooning, pop, and deep lyrics, which get deep into the very marrow of his listeners, he leaves behind a feeling of energy and warmth. Latest single, ‘Lights On’, is from his debut EP, ‘Anchor’.

Myd – ‘Let You Speak’

Parisian Producer and singer Myd has been described by HypeBeast as having a “slightly weird and wonderfully feel-good style.” A moustache and baseball hat are his trademarks, along with his constantly bemused expression, which tastefully corresponds to his eclectic take on indie electronic. No matter what he does – such as a recent collaboration with Mac DeMarco on an animated music video, ‘Moving Men’ – Myd’s genuine charisma, often played for comic effect, always shines through.
