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]

Country Pop Singer Sam Paige releases emotionally driven track, People Pleaser

June 19, 2024

  Country Pop Singer Sam Paige delivers an emotionally driven new track, People Pleaser. Her new single was co-written with Nashville’s Producer Alex Seier. Sam’s music is a direct reflection of her life and experiences. She comments about the track, “As I grow in my life and as an artist, it is important to me that I tackle things in my own life that I need to improve on and or at the very least acknowledge without shame.  It is my hope that others will hear this song and identify with my honest admission that I am a serial people pleaser. It’s never too late to change and through songwriting I find it very therapeutic to address my shortcomings. I do love pleasing people, however I am also learning to please myself.”  The infectious new track shows how people pleasers will change themselves to appease those around them, which of course brings about mental exhaustion. The song and music video “People Pleaser” is an absolute must watch and listen and gives us an inside view [Read More]
