JAY?DUHHH RELEASES “MIND TRICKS”
Richmond, Virginia native, Jay?Duhhh has announced the release of her latest single, “Mind Tricks” on Thursday, February 29, 2024 via Money By the Pound Records. “Mind Tricks,” produced by platinum music producer Mex Manny, can be described as carnivalesque whilst addressing the significant mental health issues humans may face navigating early adulthood. The sonic aesthetic of a crazy fun house, along with a maze and house of mirrors, is interlaced throughout the musical number creating a peculiar and unique vibe.
“I wrote my new single “Mind Tricks” to empower people to overcome daily obstacles such as their fears, doubts, the opinions of others/ the world, other people’s bad decisions, and the overall negativity that the world can sometimes bring. It’s easy to lose yourself in a world that is full of judgment and constantly moving. Sometimes you need to sit with yourself to realize what YOU need to be able to accomplish everything your heart desires. Life isn’t easy, and there will always be things that try to stop you from what you need to do, but if you stand strong, open your eyes and mind, and stay true to yourself…. You’ll always win in the end. Never be afraid to Shine your Light. Nothing outside of you has Power over you. What I want people to apprehend from this piece is that Life is anything but easy, but you are anything but weak. Don’t let it Change who you are.” – Jay?Duhhh
Star2 x Sprite x Luh Kel release the new single and video “Where Would You Go?”. The song taps into the frustration of questioning someone’s loyalty to you. The verses seamlessly shift between English and Thai in a vibrant fusion of R&B-infused melodic hip hop that is both poignant and powerful.
“Where Would You Go?” was filmed at Wat Saket (The Golden Mount), which is a significant ancient Buddhist temple in Bangkok where monks live and pray. Many scenes took place in the cave on the property that displays a large replica of the towering 33 ft. “Bamiyan Buddha” from central Afghanistan that was destroyed by the Taliban in 2001, and recreated to bring back the lost cultural heritage.
“Where Would You Go?” is from Star2’s forthcoming EP, No Place Like Home, which is set to drop on May 9th.
Argentine singer Jazmín Sparta and producer Tito Lopez present leaked notes <3, an eight-track R&B album entirely in English. Inspired by private confessions people keep in their notes app, the project explores themes of love, pride, and playful detachment. Jazmín, a 21-year-old singer-songwriter from Quilmes and a former The Voice Argentina contestant, has explored pop, gospel, soul, and R&B in her past work, with her debut EP ROMPEPAGA and album CONVALESCERE tackling themes of resilience and healing. Tito, a 29-year-old composer, producer, and guitarist from Viedma, has worked with AfroSound Choir and various Argentine artists while composing for audiovisual projects like Discovery Channel. Blending gospel-inspired harmonic progressions with organic instrumentation, leaked notes <3 lets raw emotion take center stage. Released via Villa Verde, the album expands their reach, showcasing Argentine talent on an international R&B platform.
