Chris Catlin Drops Off New Single “OtherSide”
Prodigiously releasing an intoxicating mix of Hip-Hop and R&B touched with a hint of the Caribbean since 2018, Chris Catlin returns with his latest hit titled ‘OtherSide’. Drawn out of the sorrow of his own father’s passing, ‘OtherSide’ is a retelling of the narrative of loss through the eyes of a woman on the same journey.
Born in the Cayman Islands and moving to Florida at the age of ten, Chris’s music has always featured Dance/Afrobeat elements. However on this track, his approach is far more subtle as the subject matter demands a more spiritual attitude to the songwriting process compared to the more ebullient flavor of his usual work. Inspired by his sadly departed Dad, influenced by dancehall artists such as Collie Buddz and Popcaanhe, Chris also listens to jazz, country, Hip Hop and a whole host of other genres. That is clearly evidenced in all of his music as he explores the broad canvas of the artists he has lived his life through.
That deep reflection on his personal and professional experiences allows Chris to think positively on the grieving process to deliver a song that showcases invitingly warm vocals and laidback grooves. Dripping with meaning and pointing to a path of escapism to free oneself from the grieving process, Chris turns the sad into good, the grief into hope and the pain into joy.
Crest the horizon that Chris Catlin creates and discover a world that once tried, will never be forgotten. When you find that place, you will instinctively know that you have reached the ‘OtherSide’.

Black Skywalker Drops Anticipated ‘I Need Therapy’ EP
Black Skywalker, the rising artist with an undeniable buzz, drops his debut EP, I Need Therapy.
The new project promises to usher in the new era of hip-hop. “Rap music is in a dark place and I came to bring the light,” said Skywalker. “The type of music I make is best described as Outer Space Jedi-level rap shit.”
Black Skywalker and Chris Rosa produced the debut EP featuring the focus track “Pills and Alcohol”. The single describes a man battling depression and anxiety with prescription medicine and champagne.
The EP includes hard-hitting 808s, crackling snares, and spacey synths. “We in Love” is a melodic record with a bouncy bass and drums. However, the lyrics depict a flawed relationship due to social media and porn addiction.
Black Skywalker’s ‘Pain of Letting Go’ has huge production and raw guitar. The lyrics express deep emotion and heartbreak, making the EP’s inspiration very clear.
“Therapy” is a song that touches on the struggles of life and the importance of seeking help. The production is interesting, with dark verses and uplifting hooks. The second verse highlights the benefits of opening up to a therapist and encourages others to do the same.
“Slide with Me” is a standout track from the EP with great production and an infectious hook. It narrates the story of falling in love with the woman of your dreams and has an upbeat vibe that sets it apart from the rest of the EP.
EP delivers a relatable conversation, amazing production, and intentional songwriting. Black Skywalker calls it outer space Jedi-level rap music.
