    The “artist” names sound like pornstars (Enlly Blue, Juno Skye). Even more off-putting, it seems they’re targeting or at least becoming most popular in religious (gospel) music, preying on something beyond music. It also seems they’re creating images of people that is clearly manufactured to appeal to specific groups to give the illusion it’s a real artist, and while optics and marketing and branding and all that shit has always been part of music entertainment (pop stars are generally beautiful people with well-crafted images), when it’s only partly human it is totally hollow. The whole thing seems downright predatory. I understand some of these are real people writing lyrics and utilizing AI to fill in the music part or fine tune the lyrical content, but it feels cowardly to not attach your actual human self to the music. It’s art, without the humanity and creativity and touch… which leaves us with… what exactly? This is marketing, not music.

    I don't think I've brought up this project on Chorus before! It's a new duo with an Australian songwriter. He's been writing hooky pop gems for years, but he lacks the musical ability to fulfill his visions for the songs (and he also doesn't care for his own singing voice). So he brought the songs to me to record them; at first, the idea was that I'd arrange and record the music while he found different singers to sing them, but it evolved into a cool partnership where I'm singing all of them on top of helping rewrite them. So I'm inevitably putting a "Chase Tremaine" touch on the songs, but my main goal is to make the best possible versions of his songs, so that he can finally share them with the world!

    I cant get you out of it! LOL jk, happy to support and spread the word on any bands and artists from here. I really dig the song too. Is this just a feature by you or going with the band name? I can’t recall if you had mentioned it before.

    I think this is the second or third single now since the 4 albums that dropped last year, and he's currently working on a post-hardcore album. Dude is absolutely a machine.

    Happy Halloween! There was a lil’ spider in the coffee filters this morning so we’re off to a spooky start. A lot of heavy stuff on the list today, and I noticed one of those bands I loved back in the day is back at it (So They Say) with a new single.
