Cities and Sounds Delight with “Ghosts”

“Ghosts” is the new single from Cities and Sounds, dropped on August 20th .
Cities and Sounds is a New Jersey based band who claim to have written and put together “Ghosts” in just one
hour. The result is a cool pop-rock song that is definitely a radio hit.

Singer Stephen Nakovich says that “Ghosts” is all about being heard among the noise: “If you feel people zone
you out, don’t take your voice seriously, or don’t even hear you. What you say does matter and there is always
a way to express yourself.”

For a song written in such a short amount of time, it does stand out as an anthem of sorts. Once they had got
the melody down so quickly, the chorus was really just a matter of putting the pieces together.
The band “Cities and Sounds” came about formed for a love of music in the summer of 2020. The five New
Jersey based artists formed the group, wrote and recorded an album of songs together with Chris Badami of
Portrait Recording Studios. They plan to release their brand new album “Brilliant Waves” later this year.

TITUS BANK Unleashes Pop Perfect New Release

Vancouver-based pop adventurer TITUS BANK can effortlessly shift from a smooth croon to a soulful vibrato to a note-perfect howl – arresting and inviting; confident yet vulnerable. 

His debut single “I Do Yeah” was praised by BBC Radio 1 as “pop perfection,” and the follow up “Hide Me Like You Do” has also been shown serious DSP support landing on Spotify playlists Fresh Finds (825k subs), Pop All Day (475k subs), Contemporary Blend (325k subs), New Music Friday Canada and Finland and most recently the #1 spot on Fresh Finds: Pop (130k subs).

The new remix featuring Dizzy is essentially the nighttime flip of the original track.

Titus thoughts on the remix: 

“Hide Me Like You Do” has been begging to be turned into a duet from day one. When I first heard the Dizzy remix it made me almost break down… this version pulls out every bit of emotion written into the song and Dizzy totally nailed it. Katie sings the lyrics with such a real and raw performance that you’d think she’d just experienced these moments in the song. If you liked the original version of “Hide Me Like You Do” then this takes you to another level of emotion.

King Park Unveils “Coffee Cheques”

The quartet that makes up Hamilton, Ontario band, King Park, is exploiting their strengths on their upcoming 2021 album, Everett. Guitars chime, drums thwack, and vocalist/guitarist, Timon Moolman’s broken-up baritone is ornamented one minute by barbershop harmonies, and the next by barstool gang vocals.

The band’s latest single, “Coffee Cheques,” tells the story of a loss of innocence and coming of age, driven by the heartbreak that serves both as its catalyst and aftermath. Lyrics like “Regrets became routine, teenagers we once were, not a single clue of what we would lose,” illustrate just how high the stakes became.

The band’s new single “High Hopes” is a unifying call to get to know one another again and show up in ways that are meaningful. To reach out to the people that seem to be fading away and remember the things that bring us to life.

Eric Punzo: A Name You’ll Remember

As someone who grew up relying on open-mic nights as the platform to share his art, 24 year old Etobicoke, Ontario based singer-songwriter, Eric Punzo, is no stranger to vulnerability; it’s the catalyst sparking his drive to create.

Being able to feel both the darkness and the light simultaneously is where Eric finds his truth, both in life and in art. His debut single, “Criminal,” exudes this feeling through telling a story of his own introspection.

Colourful, authentic, and honest, “Criminal” was inspired by a time in Eric’s life when he spent a lot of time alone, bailing on plans to lock himself in his room and write a bunch of ‘songs.’ Reflecting on his life and looking towards a better future, this song acknowledges that it is okay to admit your vulnerabilities – this is part of being human.
