American metalcore band Like Moths To Flames have just signed to UNFD. On joining the UNFD family, vocalist Chris Roetter shares: “After 10 years of LMTF, I feel a huge sense of renewal throughout the band since we signed on to the label.

Magnetic continues X.Ari’s brilliance with new joy and sparks.

September 19, 2019

I have been following X.Ari for over three years- back when she was Ari without the “X”, and I have watched her change and grow with every new song. A certified genius with an angelic – and sometimes demonic – voice, her music is unique, addictive, thought-provoking. Each new step she takes, each new lyric she writes, each new video she makes reveals her depth and her brilliance. She has done it again with her latest release, Magnetic – a song about love. She moved into romantic R&B territory in Magnetic, which is about the feeling you get when you fall in love – the polar attraction that happily consumes your life. The music is sophisticated, as all of X.Ari’s music is, but it also has a familiar feel to it – we know this song in our bones, although we have never heard it before. Magnetic has its own magnetic attraction, a polar pull on your ears, your muscles, and – if you know X.Ari’s struggles with her own internal polar opposites [Read More]
