Local Music Scene Flourishes with New Releases This Week

The local music scene continues to thrive as artists unveil exciting new singles, showcasing a diverse range of talent and sound. This week’s highlights feature fresh tracks from several emerging and established artists, each bringing their unique style to the forefront.

B.Rose makes her return with “PCH,” a captivating single that follows her soulful original set at The Space in March. This release marks her first since her 2022 album, “Closer to Me.” On “PCH,” the artist layers her vocals over gentle, humming guitars, complemented by an electric bridge, creating an ethereal soundscape. The accompanying music video presents a whimsical narrative where B.Rose encounters a mysterious alien, perfectly embodying the song’s theme of love transcending time and space. Fans can eagerly anticipate her live performance when she opens for Say She She at Swan Dive on August 8.

Another standout track comes from AKASHAA, the neo-soul artist previously known as Ami Divine, who is making waves with her new track “Worship.” Following the successful release of her self-produced album, “Bloom,” this spellbinding spoken-word piece emphasizes self-empowerment and the embrace of the “dark feminine.” “It’s about caring for yourself like a goddess, dancing in your reflection, and knowing your worth is sacred,” AKASHAA shares on Instagram, resonating with listeners searching for affirmation in their own lives.

Meanwhile, Saara delivers a fierce breakup anthem titled “Serato,” targeting an unsatisfactory former partner. With a backdrop of whirring synths and fluttering hi-hats, her powerful vocals take center stage as she cleverly critiques her ex’s less-than-stellar DJ career. Lines like “Them clubs don’t want you baby/And neither do I” reflect her newfound self-worth, marking her as a rising star unafraid to assert herself.

Cameron Calloway has re-emerged under the moniker Scorpio, bringing us “So Cool (Dope),” a sun-soaked soul-pop track radiating feel-good vibes. The song’s tantalizing grooves and modern sensibilities make it perfect for a road trip playlist with someone special. Scorpio’s signature falsetto shines as he serenades, “She’s so fly/She don’t even try,” encapsulating the carefree summer spirit.

Chicago-raised rapper Kenyadda tantalizes listeners with a brief but impactful ballad, “Sweet Love Jones.” This one-minute-36-second track showcases his emotional depth and lyrical dexterity, reminiscent of greats like Wale and Nas. Collaborating with local producer QuixkMadeIt, they craft a sound that’s both energetic and full of heart, making it difficult for fans to resist replaying the track.

Lastly, Spring Breeding bursts onto the scene with “Stretch Your Arms,” a dynamic dance-punk single characterized by energetic distortion and erratic rhythms. This provocative track, bursting with pent-up energy, features thunderous drum blasts and manic vocals, making it a compelling listen for those seeking something unconventional. With such a rich array of new music, it’s clear the local scene is buzzing louder than ever.
