This radiant single opens the door to a series of releases slated for 2025, encapsulating the positivity and gentle nostalgia that have become hallmarks of Cat’s poignant songwriting.

Lemonboy – Lemonboy

Seek a heartfelt, authentic journey with Lemonboy’s debut single release, “Lemonboy,” resonating with universal themes.

Lemonboy, the independent, queer singer-songwriter, unveils his debut album “Lemonboy” with remarkable veracity and warmth. This acoustic folk pop project seamlessly intertwines identity, self-discovery, and compassion, resonating with anyone charting their course in life. Recorded at the prolific Tonal Park and supported by GRAMMY-winning engineer Charlie Pilzer, Lemonboy transforms vulnerability into art.

The single “Lemonboy” emerges as the emotional cornerstone, capturing the poignant beauty of embracing imperfections. It wasn’t originally on the album’s tracklist but evolved into its essence during challenging times. Its story—written on ukulele and reimagined for piano—celebrates the resilience found in chosen family and supportive communities.

“Bright,” another powerful offering, stands as a tender call to kindness, eschewing rigid doctrines for love and understanding. Entirely self-funded and independently produced, “Lemonboy” is more than music; it’s a chronicle celebrating life’s rhythmic dance, urging curators to explore its genuine artistry.


Jacre – Just Hold On

Healing Through Melody: Jacre Releases “Just Hold On”

As Jacre explains, “Just Hold On” was born from a relatable encounter with a fan’s struggle, transforming into a universal anthem of hope and strength.

Jacre‘s emotive vocals, paired with delicate guitar work, have earned acclaim for their “vulnerability and enthralling storytelling” (Plastic Magazine).

Neil Cowlan – Too Much In My Eyes

From Session Ace to Spotlight: Neil Cowlan Releases “Too Much In My Eyes”

Neil Cowlan, hailed as a “guitar superhero” by the BBC, steps into the spotlight with the release of his latest single, “Too Much In My Eyes.” Merging genres like pop, folk, and rock, Cowlan’s track demonstrates his deft ability to cross styles seamlessly. Known for his years as a session guitarist, Cowlan has been the backbone of many artists’ sounds, displaying fretboard wizardry that bridges soul and rock with electrifying ease.

Building on the success of his debut vocal album, All You Know, which features stalwarts like Supertramp’s Carl Verheyen, Cowlan continues to draw from personal experiences. His music narrates the journey from heartrending lows to elated highs, translating emotion into the universal language of music.

As Cowlan says, “Every note, every lyric is a part of my story.”
