Today, Future Funk icon and internet sensation Yung Bae, whose track “Bad Boy” went viral on TikTok last year with over 2 billion impressions across 1 million videos, has released this Summer’s Olympics-themed feel-good anthem, “Silver & Gold.” The single features Australian singer-songwriter Sam Fischer, who’s coming off of a moving TV performance of “What Other People Say” on The Ellen Show with Demi Lovato, and R&B artist Pink Sweat$, who recently released his debut album Pink Planet, and performed its standout single “At My Worst” with Kehlani on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. “Silver & Gold” is available now on all digital streaming services and the lyric video is available on YouTube, found HERE!

Following critically-acclaimed singles “Woman On The Moon (feat. UPSAHL)” and “Wonder (feat. Channel Tres),” producer Yung Bae dishes out another dose of grooviness alongside the powerful vocals Sam Fischer and Pink Sweat$. Popularly known for his viral hit “This City,” Sam Fischer has written for and worked with renowned artists such as Demi Lovato, Jessie J, Ciara, and MAX. Additionally, he has toured with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi. His breakthrough song “This City” currently has more than one billion views on TikTok and over 250 million streams across platforms.

“‘Silver and Gold’ is truly a labor of love between creative friends and family. It feels like it’s travelled through different times, pens and cities to end up as the glorious moment it is now,” Fischer says about the song. “I’ve been a fan of Yung Bae and Pink Sweat$ for a while so I’m stoked to be able to come together on a song about celebrating & going hard at life. To add to that, getting the chance to have a purely joyful song out in the world for me is a relief from my brand of heart-wrench pop!”

Philadelphia-raised singer-songwriter Pink Sweat$ has been praised for his soulful vocals and versatility. He has written for rapper Tierra Whack, collaborated with acclaimed singer and dancer Kehlani, and worked with international artists such as South Korean R&B artist Crush. His hit song “Honesty” has over 200 million streams on Spotify, reaching number 10 on their US Viral Chart. His debut album Pink Planet released this February was hailed by The New York Times, Complex, MTV, REVOLT, and more.

“Silver & Gold” is a playful and uplifting track with an energetic beat highlighted by jovial horns and claps. The addictive and anthemic chorus inspires people to unite and reach for their goals. It’s a motivational and highly danceable tune likely to stimulate an outburst of dancing in the streets or a festival frolic. Sam Fischer and Pink Sweat$ take turns singing about positivity, appreciating life and working hard for your dreams.

VCAGE returns to the music scene with his latest single “Lobotomy”. This single focuses on society’s influence on individuals and the way in which people conform to society’s expectations. It is difficult to run away from toxic relationships, including a relationship between yourself and what others expect out of you. VCAGE expresses frustration and desperation to escape the pressures of life. “Lobotomy” breaks the barrier as it touches on a topic not often challenged. VCAGE is an instrumentalist, producer, and singer/songwriter who dedicates his time to making creative sounds and songs. His return to the music scene stemmed from his passion for producing unique and creative sounds out of many different objects, not just instruments. VCAGE is not afraid to merge genres and instruments together to create a space full of contrasting rhythms and sounds coming together. VCAGE shows his technical knowledge along with his creativity in “Lobotomy” as he follows the common ABA rhythm pattern, ending the song the way it began. 

“Sometimes we feel we live in a certain reality that everyone sees but we are living in the reality of our own thinking”. VCAGE expresses a deep emotion through this single about societal expectations. His voice indicates a strong energy coming from within as he sings about a topic that is prevalent in today’s times. VCAGE brings about the notion that as human beings we are flawed to believe that we must live a certain way in order to fit in. However, VCAGE attempts to remind us that we need to break free from this mindset through the lyrics and production value of “Lobotomy”. His voice transitions smoothly from singing, to rapping, to humming, and sometimes even belting. His ability to transition from one style to another shows his vocal range and capabilities. 

“Lobotomy” is a fuse between folk and country and rock and rap. His instrumentation relates to that of country music as country music typically will have instruments such as a tambourine and acoustic guitars. When VCAGE hums, especially with the fast-paced guitar rhythm, he sounds very much like Ed Sheeran. There is also a big resemblance when he breaks into rap as Ed Sheeran is known for including a few rap verses in his music as well. During his verses, VCAGE hits a higher vocal range that sounds very much like Brendan Urie from Panic! At The Disco. “Lobotomy” touches on many qualities belonging to well-known artists and genres that it is clear why this song is such a great hit. This single is a wake-up call that we all must pay attention to.

Manta’s new double single “Teasing,” and “Echobaby” are offering up the coolest way to close out your Summer. The tracks which compliment each other from start to finish, make Manta an indie band to watch in 2021. “Teasing” offers up a lighter, almost twee-pop feel side of the band while “Echobaby” is filled with dreamy tones that float over a hypnotic bed of instrumentation.

Formed in Princeton, NJ, Manta is a psychedelic rock band consisting of Jack Brickner (vocals/bass), Charlie Guarino (vocals/guitar), Sam Guarino (vocals/guitars) and Mike LaFisca (drums). The group specializes in delivering dynamic musicianship, meticulous arrangements, mood-inducing grooves, and thoughtful lyricism in the form of tightly crafted pop songs. The band expands upon decades of popular music, mixing various genre textures (jazz, tropicália, funk, disco, to name a few) and adding layers of sonic flourishes in a manner reminiscent of the experimentally-minded ethos of the 60s and 70s.
