Rising Texas star Paul Cauthen releases deep new track Black on Black

June 28, 2024

I have a real treat for you. Rising Texas star Paul Cauthen has unveiled his new track, Black on Black and it hits hard! The song is the title track off his forthcoming album which will be released this fall on Anemoia Records/Atlantic Records. Pre-save the album here. His deep soulful baritone voice is infectious and has earned him the nickname Big Velvet. He grew up singing in church choirs as well as a part of a tightknit creative community in East Texas. Paul Cauthen’s voice bears a striking resemblance to Johnny Cash’s, so much so that I almost believed I was listening to a lost recording or something. However as the song progressed, it became clear that Cauthen is forging his own distinct musical identify and I am 100% here for it! Check out the song/video here: Cauthen comments about the album, “Been working on this record for a few years now. A ton of folks helped make this happen. Cannot wait for this to hit the world. I truly believe these songs even me [Read More]

King Isis releases grunge filled new single Dissonance

June 27, 2024

King Isis releases new single Dissonance. The grunge filled track produced by frequent collaborator and childhood friend, Jaden Wiggins.  King Isis comments, “’Dissonance’ is a song about embracing the differences that make us whole, that make us who we are. It leans into the ‘other,’ a celebration of the pieces of selves that we may feel adverse to or are socially rejected. I’ve spent a lot of time trying to conform and present in ways that were outside of myself to appease the perceptions of others. So this is a song about being happy and full in my own, however that shows up. It’s embracing the tension and uneasiness in self and communal discovery, just loving yourself fully and those around you who embrace that difference.” Check out the new song/video here:   Dissonance follows the release of the breakout EP shed which was released in March by the Oakland born King Isis.  About shed: heavily inspired by Gloria E. Anzaldúa’s seminal text Borderlands/La Frontera and its examination of snakes as a metaphor and theme of purging. King Isis was [Read More]
