This single is title ‘Mess I’ve Made’ and is the first of many more to come. XAV released his first project in February 2019 titled After Dark.

Heading over to my hometown of Chicago we have Austin Fillmore with his newest release ‘U Lie I Cry”, a song about heartbreak. Austin has set out to confront the fear of emotional pain and has even created the movement #ThinkgLessFeelMore which encourages his fans to feel everything they need to feel by submitting to their emotions. In his new song he does just that, he submits to his heartbreak and takes us on a journey to how he got there.

Austin has been making a name for himself on Chicago’s local scene and you may have already seen him on A Taste of, Lyrical Lemonade, Elevator, and Chicago’s Kiss FM. He has also recently graced some of the Midwest’s biggest stages, including the North Coast Music Festival and countless other local staples! His performance on Chicago’s #1 Morning Show “The Jam” has marked Austin as a star on the rise in Chicago. Austin has teamed up with Remy Prosper, a producer/composer and songwriter from my current location Miami, Fl. So let’s get right to it and see what this duo has brought us.

Continuing the strong start to the year, we head over to Vancouver to meet Sam Darkoh and listen to his latest release titled Ruby Fever.

He has spent the last few years working on his craft and is not bringing us a new sound leading up to his project dropping in the spring. Darkoh is of Ghanaian descent and was raised in Vancouver and Wisconsin as a youth. Not only is he a talented musician he also has an acting resume including a role in Netflix’s Project NC2 (2015) and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow (2020).
