@porcelanmusic Drops Debut Album “Mood Ring”
Billboard Charting Singer-Songwriter Porcelan has released her much-anticipated debut album, Mood Ring.
“There are so many things that have inspired me to name and record my debut album, Mood Ring,” mentions Porcelan. “Mood Ring is the idea of not being boxed-in. I have been anticipating to show the world the many dimensions to who I am. Life is a mood. Each day you want to feel something different from it. I wanted to put a project together that spoke to people and their day to day lives. I wanted to talk about different relationships that people encounter,” she adds. “Sonically, I wanted to create a project of emotions that connects with people on a personal level. A project that has elements of happiness, sadness, excitement, and passion. “Mood Ring” speaks to the life of relationships—the good, the bad, and the ugly. So whatever mood you’re feeling in that moment, is what I feel “Mood Ring speaks to.”
A few highlights from Mood Ring include, the well-received single, “Act Out”, which was inspired by the 90’s film, A Thin Line Between Love and Hate. The song expresses how you should never play with someone’s emotions because you never know what they have been through, and it’s describing a love that will make you do crazy things. Then, there is “Toxic” featuring Stevie Wonder (on harmonica), the world music-infused lead single, which was inspired by a past relationship where a person loves someone so much, but that other person is just not good for them. They want to make the relationship work so badly, but it’s just about being honest and simply letting it go.
“The title-track, “Mood Ring” is a very special record to me. It’s inspired by me being free to be myself and not apologizing for it. I am owning who I am and proud of who I’m becoming. I won’t be conforming to who people want me to be. It’s all about the mood,”

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.

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.
