Eighty Ninety Share New Single “The Hard Way”

Overflowing with raw emotion, "The Hard Way" is a contemplative, cathartic love song. The track opens with wistful piano chords and Abner’s tender vocals. As it continues, the song gathers momentum with additional synths, percussion, and guitar. "With the production, we tried to evoke the sense of the relationship being increasingly tested by life, increasing the instrumentation with every chorus, almost like we are trying to break the song," the duo explains. "But it holds — and by the end, we're hoping the swelling percussion and harmonies feel uplifting; there's beauty in hope."

Rachel Bochner Shares New EP, “It’s Not Me, It’s U”

"'It’s Not Me, It’s U' is about how we try to make ourselves feel a little better through messy emotions and heartbreak, even if they aren’t the healthiest coping mechanisms," she says. "The project was inspired by highs and lows I’ve experienced - from the mental gymnastics I've done to justify avoiding blame to feeling empowered to speak up when someone does me dirty. Before I even realized it was happening, making this EP helped me learn to lean into my feelings, find humor in the darkness, and remember that I’m in charge of my self-worth.”

Rachel Bochner Shares New Single“If I’m Gunna Be Sad (I Might As Well Look Hot Doing It)

Rachel elaborates on the sentiment behind the single saying “We started off writing something that embodied more of an IDGAF attitude, but after a while, we realized it just didn’t feel super authentic. There was a moment when we were working on it when we realized, okay, maybe we do kind of give a f*ck… but if we’re going to be sad, we might as well look hot doing it.”

Love You Later Shares “Are You Gonna Care When I Die?”

“I wrote 'Are You Gonna Care When I Die?' in the midst of a time where I was drowning in rejection from the music industry, and in the real world,” Aviles reveals.

“No one seemed to care or listen or take me seriously. I realized that the attention from these people was not worth my time or energy, and ultimately did not define me. The song is a constant reminder to myself to regain my voice and power to tell my own story. The ones that are meant to notice, will notice. Ultimately, it’s a song for anyone who feels insignificant and undermined.”

Devon Cole Shares New Single “Call U After Rehab”

Following hit singles like “W.I.T.C.H.” and “Hey Cowboy,” “Call U After Rehab” exemplifies Devon’s softer side.

“'Call U After Rehab’ is my most vulnerable release yet,” says Devon. “It's a love song about pausing a relationship in order to take care of myself. I was putting off my issues for a while and finding any way to justify my bad habits. Deciding to say goodbye to my closest comforts, to give myself the space and time to heal, felt like ripping off a bandaid that had been there for ages. And this release kind of feels the same, in some ways. I hope people can relate by interpreting the rehab idea however they want to."
