⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ | MwS | "Island"
A songwriting duo from Itay that is bringing the soul back into music. Here's what they had to say about their latest release:
"When we left Italy and moved to London to bring our music in this amazing scene, it felt a lot like starting from scratch. We wrote 'Island' shortly after, feeling like two survivors of a shipwreck, trying to build their dreams in an unknown place full of possibilities. This song also happens to be the first we produced and recorded in London - so it's our way of giving back to this city that welcomed us and in which we feel we can best develop our music path."

⭐️ PREMIERE ⭐️ | Justin Fabus | Remedy
An emotional album coming from a personal place for this country rocker's big debut. "To me, country is all about songwriting," Fabus exclaims. "It's hard-working. It's blue-collar. That's Pittsburgh in a nutshell. I write what I live. When I sing my songs, I feel them, and I mean them." Tune in and feel the feels.
