After dazzling fans and critics alike with her glittering pop sensibilities and deeply relatable lyrics, rising pop artist CYN is back with the release of her infectious new single “Alright,” out now via UnSub Records. The track, which debuted on i-D who described it as a 'dark, dance-floor ready track' and an 'ode to self-acceptance,' was written by CYN and produced by Sam De Jong (Gary Clark Jr., 30 Seconds To Mars). The new song sees CYN take her undeniable pop prowess straight to the dancefloor, in what's sure to be the first bonafied hit of 2018. Talking about the inspiration behind the single, CYNdetails. 'When I wrote this song, I was thinking back on all the notes my teachers wrote on my report cards: would be a perfect student if only she would stop talking, attitude adjustment needed, lacking self-discipline, etc. It's almost funny to me how harsh my teachers were and how they made the littlest things feel like the end of the world! After what felt like a ton of pressure under a constant magnifying glass, I still did it my way and I turned out alright.'

'Music and the songwriting and Nashville-they continue to teach me this.'

Honky Tonk revivalist Bubba T.'s latest single, “Texting Texas,” opens with the twangin' Texas guitar sound and sing-along chorus that have become his trademarks.  Soulful piano and fine fiddle work add to a haunting Hank, Jr. feel, and the mid-tempo song's lyric addresses one of modern man's most timely and important topics: texting.  “Let's face it,”Bubba says.  “Our smartphones rule our lives these days.  I mean, I've seen folks hangin' onto those things like they're oxygen tanks or something. It's crazy.  When I heard this song, I knew I had to cut it.  Romantically, it could be the story of my life – and my many girlfriends and wives.”
