New York-based singer-songwriter and TIkTok influencer Matty Reynolds has released a new song, "Timbuktu."
The new track is a hopeful single about how love paramounts the struggle of distance. He shares, "The reason it means so much to me is because it was written so quickly in the heat of my emotions, without any overthought. I was driving to see my long distance girlfriend and the verses naturally came to me, exactly as you hear them today, perfectly describing what it feels like to be so far apart yet always knowing I'll make that drive a million times over to make it back to her."
"Timbuktu" is the first single off of his forthcoming EP Somebody Like Me set for release this summer. The artist teamed up with acclaimed producers Jackson Hoffman and Andy Tongren of Young Rising Sons fame. Matty's music has over 10 million streams.
Born and raised as the youngest of four kids in a small suburb just outside of New York City, Matty Reynolds has always had a knack for performing. He remembers jumping on his bed singing “Shut Up and Let Me Go” by The Ting Tings at just five years old, and peeking his head out of his bedroom late at night to watch Justin Bieber busking over his big sister’s shoulder. Matty grew up on this big sister’s pop music taste with artists like Katy Perry, Maroon 5, and Miley Cyrus, and developed his love for music through singing duets with her. When he was 10, he was gifted a keyboard and a guitar, and began teaching himself how to play both.
Once Matty found Tik Tok in 2019, he started a secret account dedicated to posting covers, and says he was too self conscious to sing for anyone besides his family. However, as his account began to grow he realized it would be impossible to hide any longer. He gained confidence from both acquired Tik Tok fans and people he knew personally reaching out complimenting his voice and cover styles. Once he had built a following and also endured his first real heartbreak, he took his talents to the pen and paper. Initially writing sad love songs, he found that ruminating in his pain only made him feel worse about it. He then began writing fun songs that made him happy and took him away from his anxieties. This led to his highly successful sophomore single “(another) hotel party” released in 2021. The song quickly took Tik Tok by storm and launched Matty’s career forward tangibly for the first time. The young and free anthem has garnered critical and commercial acclaim, with the single now close to 12 million streams. Matty has remained independent, releasing a series of captivating singles since.
His upcoming debut EP Somebody Like Me is set to release early summer 2025. The artist collaborated with the likes of acclaimed producer Jackson Hoffman and songwriter Andy Tongren of Young Rising Sons fame for the six song genre-defying musical collection. The music is centered around his girlfriend and the internal struggles he faces from living hundreds of miles away, while also focusing on the hope and happiness he gets from making it all work. These upbeat, promising love songs fuse pop with folk rock and Americana, for an enthralling listen.

Kairvina, a singer/songwriter based in India/Mumbai, has released a music video and single for her new song “Eternal”. It is a beautiful pop song that beautifully expresses a sense of femininity.
The stunning soul-baring pop ballad is a look at life through the lens of confusion, chaos, and good ol'self deprecation. The artist blends pop, adult contemporary, soul, folk and even Indian classical music for an enthralling listen.
Kairvina is an alternative singer/songwriter born and raised in India. Her passion for music found her at a very young age, with evenings spent singing and writing songs about middle school relationships, surprisingly devastating heartbreaks, and brooding soul-searching anthems. It was only a matter of time before that creative energy led her to self-learn guitar and share that angsty spirit.
Taking a leap of faith, Kairvina moved to Los Angeles at the age of 18. Immersing herself in her art, she formed a band, played countless gigs, and developed a conversational way of telling the stories she wants. Inspired by Jeff Buckley, Phoebe Bridgers, and Elliott Smith, she has created her own approach to music- raw and dreamy vocals melting into soft soul and rock, with a clear passion for storytelling and poetry. Her lyrics tend to be introspective and delicate, often with an added pinch of humour, giving a stage to human imperfections.
Her new song "Eternal" is a look at life through the lens of confusion, chaos, and good ol'self deprecation. Her first single of 2025, with many more to follow, she is on a journey of carving the musical world she's been restlessly envisioning.
Currently residing in Mumbai, Kairvina continues to pursue her sound with even more tenacity and supposed optimism.

Her work has also resonated across television and film, with placements on CNN, The Sex Lives of College Girls, The L Word, The Hills, Batwoman, and Teen Mom...
Known for her evocative lyricism and profound storytelling, Emily’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and a lifelong love for music.

Emily Haber has spent her life immersed in music, from her earliest days growing up in an award-winning family band to becoming a sought-after songwriter in Los Angeles. Known for her evocative lyricism and profound storytelling, Emily’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and a lifelong love for music.
Born to two musical parents who had paused their careers to focus on their family, Emily’s arrival marked the beginning of a new chapter. When she was six, her parents started a children’s band called "Laughing Pizza", bringing Emily front and center. Signed to Sony/Epic Records, Laughing Pizza toured the United States for ten years, performing on PBS Kids and on stages nationwide. From age 7 to 17, Emily lived on the road, creating lifelong memories and building the foundation for her future in music.
In 2015, she lost her mother to stage 4 ovarian cancer—a loss that profoundly influenced her life and art. With a decade of experience working solely with her family, Emily’s loss began her solo music journey, shaped by both triumph and heartbreak.
Working professionally in her younger years, Emily faced unique challenges. Born with severe hearing loss in both ears, she wore hearing aids from the age of four. For a decade, Emily performed by relying on instinct and muscle memory.
Her hearing aids frequently failed mid-performance, leaving her to navigate live shows in near silence. It wasn’t until advancements in hearing aid technology at 13 that Emily truly heard her own voice, and by 17, she experienced intricate layers of music for the first time thanks to the Starkey Foundation.
Emily finally was able to combine her unique feel for music with the reality of how most people understand sound - giving her a 6th sense that is palpable when listening to her recordings.
At 19, Emily moved to Nashville, determined to carve her own path. She kept her history with Laughing Pizza private, building her career from the ground up. She briefly attended Belmont University before diving headfirst into the city’s vibrant songwriting community.
Emily worked at the iconic Bluebird Cafe and co-wrote tirelessly, honing her craft and immersing herself in music. A chance meeting with Grammy-winning songwriter Liz Rose at Eddie’s Attic proved pivotal. Liz invited Emily to her house to write, introduced her to Nashville’s tight-knit songwriting circle, and encouraged her to pursue her dreams.
In October 2017, Emily signed with Prescription Songs, marking the start of a prolific professional songwriting career. Her collaborations span a wide range of artists, including Andy Grammer, Joy Oladokun, Anna Clendening, Gryffin, Abby Anderson, carobae, Miki Ratsula, Devon Gabriella, and Erika Jayne. Her work has also resonated across television and film, with placements on CNN, The Sex Lives of College Girls, The L Word, The Hills, Batwoman, and Teen Mom.
In March 2023, Emily met her co-producer, Daniel Dávila, when they were both asked to speak on a panel for a songwriting class at USC. Together, they created her upcoming EP, Nostalgia. For the first time, Emily felt there were stories only she could tell, and this collection reflects her unique voice as a storyteller. Nostalgia is a testament to Emily's growth and artistic vision. The title track is a tribute to the childhood she longed for but never truly had, blending wistful dreams with the heartbreak of growing up.
「I am here now」はアルバムのオープニングトラックとして収録される。全般的にはカナダのアートポップの流行を印象付けるシングルとなっている。ドラム/シンバル/パーカッション、サックス、弦楽器（ヴァイオリン）、エレクトロニクス、そして、優しげな感覚を持つアイヤーによるボーカルが組み合わされて、開放的で自然味を持つ曲が作り上げられる。カナダ/ウィニペグの民族音楽、メディエーション、アーティストの音楽的な背景をなすクラシック音楽が組み合わされた実験音楽。
「『I am here now(私は今ここにいる)』は、プレゼンスについての瞑想であり、すべてが燃え盛っているときに、自分自身や周りの世界との繋がりを取り戻すためのものです。オープンであり続けること、不快感を通り抜けること、スローダウンすること、自分の体を愛すること、そして喜びを見つけることについてのマントラでもあるの。私にとってこの曲は、慢性的な痛みとの経験や、私たちの身体とのつながりを断ち切ろうとする世界の力と深く結びついている。その中で、私たちは耳を傾け、愛し、目覚めるための新しい方法を見つけようとしている」
オープニングの "THE IMPACT "は、歪んだサンプルで聴く者を迎え、ヴォーカルのキャットが "Don't get it twisted, get it right "と唸り、これからの展開を予感させる。 ESTRELA "の音の跳ね返りは、アルバムのタイトルを連想させる天国のような歌詞の中を進んでいく。 リード・シングルの "SURVIVAL AIN'T TAUGHT "は、太く振動するギターが押し出すハードコアの激しさだ。
