Great Value Jesus “Blush / Gen Z the Great Society”
“On the surface Blush is a song about love, once dug a little deeper it is about novelty love. This song echoes the pressures of what our society dictates what the narrative of love is. Through melodic hooks and vivid metaphors, Blush tells the chaotic story of Hallmark love. I'd call it a reflection of the plastic love our society indulges in. Gen Z the Great Society is about the zeitgeist that is generation z.
Onism E – “Lin Manuel”

MY FRIEND THE CHIMPANZEE – “TWIN MOONS/BEARWOLF, PT. 1”

Cities in Dust – “The Other Son”

Jack the Owl “Calling”
"I wrote it last year in lock down when I was waiting for other people their approval and I was done with it. At some point I just thought I'm gonna do whatever I want instead of what other people expect. So I decided to write a song about it. I recorded it by myself in my home studio, the guitar part in the intro was the first thing I came up with after that the whole song gradually came together" Jack the Owl
