SUMif | "Obvious"
Electro pop sensation SUMif slows it down in her new track, "Obvious." "[The song] is about the moment you are finally able to see through the blurred vision of denial," said the LA native. "The answer was always right in front of you, but it took someone, or something, else to truly allow you to see it in focus."

Crywolf | "DRIP"
In his single "DRIP," Justin Taylor Phillips takes us on a journey inside his mind. "'DRIP' is the process of staring into my brain and being brutally honest about some of the really difficult aspects of what I see there," Phillips said. "It might not be, but it's uncomfortably real."

Zachariah | "Winter Doesn't Wait"
Zachariah pares down the instrumentals and allow his vocals take center stage in his latest single. "The song was inspired by a weekend away from LA on the east coast," said Zachariah. "I kept thinking about not wanting to go back to the city, back to my part-time jobs, back to the monotony of what I was doing in LA. Summer and our time was fleeting and I wanted to hold on to it as long as I could."

Gabriella Vixen | "Fool"
Gabriella Vixen celebrated self care this Valentine's Day with her latest track, "Fool." "It's a song about escaping the potentially devastating effects of someones huge ego and selfish ways," she said. "To me this song means freedom and confidence, no longer being played for a fool. It means realising your worth and escaping a toxic situation."
