The music video for John Vento’s #1 UK iTunes single, “Sweet Cheslie”

When John Vento released his latest single, “Sweet Cheslie” at the end of September, he had no idea how great an impact the song would have. In fact, Vento was apprehensive about writing and recording a song about the suicide of former Miss USA, Cheslie Kryst. It was writer Matt Wohlfarth,

 whose lyrical sketch proved the deciding factor in Vento moving forward with the song’s creation and production. Along with Shane McLaughlin (Buffalo Rose), David Granati, and Bob Zigerelli, the team emerged with a beautiful tribute that would reach the top of the UK iTunes charts.

Release: Mercy John - Nights On Fire

Mercy John - Nights On Fire

Release date: Friday, October 28th 2022
‘Nights On Fire’, zo luidt de titel van het nieuwe langverwachte derde studioalbum van Mercy John. Deze opvolger van het alom geprezen album ‘Let It Go Easy’ (2019) zal 28 oktober 2022 op vinyl en als CD gereleased worden bij V2 records.

Het nieuwe 11 nummers omvattende album schreef Mercy John in de Covid-periode. Een tijd waarin ieders geduld op de proef werd gesteld, er steeds maar weer shows verplaatst werden en het succes van de mede-geschreven hit ‘Roller Coaster’ vooral op de radio te horen was en helaas niet live. Maar nu is het tijd voor iets anders, tijd om naar buiten te gaan: De nacht in. Om iets nieuws te ontdekken.

Russell Dickerson - Russell Dickerson

Release: Russell Dickerson - Russell Dickerson

Release date: Friday, November 4th 2022

https://www.russelldickerson.com/

Russell Dickerson is set to release his third studio album, a 15-track self-titled project, RUSSELL DICKERSON, on November 4.  Marking the follow up to a series of four Platinum or better Number One hits, each one burning with the intensity of a romantic blowtorch, Dickerson’s upcoming album takes that same heat and lights bold new fires, all over his life.  Soul-mate symphonies wrapped in epic country devotion. Bangers with all the swagger of a free spirit, plus the steady hand of a family man, and stadium sized small-town anthems, built on forever-young thrills yet tempered by the wisdom of time. It’s the work of a rising star who’s already been rewarded for opening up his soul, and is now giving fans the full picture. A brand new track, “I Wonder,” is out today, featuring powerful production and a driving melody with the highly relatable experience of feeling haunted by the “what-ifs” after a relationship ends. 

Release: Drugdealer - Hidden In Plain Sight

Release: Drugdealer - Hidden In Plain Sight.

Release date: Friday, October 28th 2022

The third and most seasoned Drugdealer album, Hiding In Plain Sight, almost didn't happen at all. Frustrated and insecure with his own singing voice prior to the pandemic, Drugdealer founder and primary songwriter Michael Collins was nearly ready to throw in the towel. With hits like "Suddenly" and "The Real World" (from the band's 2016 debut, The End Of Comedy) and "Honey" (from their first album for Mexican Summer, 2019’s Raw Honey), Collins had plenty to be happy about.  But due to a frequent impulse to hand over the microphone to friends and collaborators like Weyes BloodJackson MacIntosh, and his trusty musical companion Sasha Winn, Collins became increasingly unsure of himself as a singer. Then, amidst the windswept art colony of Marfa, Texas, a chance encounter with the visionary artist and composer Annette Peacock changed his outlook.
