Alt-pop songstress Daniella Mason introduces "Steady," a song from her forthcoming EP, Physical State, slated for release early 2020.

Mason explains "Steady," saying, "It takes me back to every time my heart was utterly broken and it was as if my husband would stand there, day in and day out, and hold my world up, holding it together. It's painfully personal, but I wanted to speak out the value of those that may fall under the radar but, in reality, hold the world together."

Along with writing for Nick Jonas, Mason has shared the stage with DNCE and Demi Lovato, as well as performing at Bonnaroo last summer. "Steady" surges with pop energy and smooth layers of Mason's voice, as she sings, "When my heart is heavy / You hold up the levy."

Cassandra Violet Discusses Gun Violence on "Dead!"

Dealing with the existential nightmare of controlling men.

Los Angeles indie-pop singer-songwriter Cassandra Violet released her latest single, "Dead!" a few days ago.

Violet said of the track, "I wrote this song tongue-in-cheek from the point of view of my alter ego. However, gun violence is a real and terrifying epidemic in this country that must be stopped. For the first 2 months of the release of 'Dead,' 100% of all proceeds will be donated to Everytown for Gun Safety."



"Dead!" opens on dark sonic colors, as Violet's velvety femme fatal voice glides overhead accompanied by three-part harmonies.

"Woke up alone in bed, with echoes in my head / My dress is ripped, and I have no more thread / Your blood I've shed, the blankets are all red / Last night we wed, and then I shot you dead, then I shot you dead, then I shot you dead."
