This is something different, but I thought it's a great opportunity to celebrate this year's Women's History Month.

Nadia Vaeh is a singer-songwriter from Atlanta, Georgia fusing southern soul with pop music.

She is releasing her brand new single, Monroe, today, Friday, March 27.

Monroe is a brilliant pop anthem that will resonate with women around the world, as it pays homage to female icons such as Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Meryl Streep, Celine Dion and more.

"I wanted to write a song paying tribute to many of the women who have influenced me as an artist, entertainer, and woman. Monroe to me is about being confident in yourself and working to uplift and inspire other women. We all have room to shine and when we allow that light to flow through, we can create space for others to do the same" said Nadia about the new single.

Proceeds of the song will be donated to GirlUp, a United Nations Foundation inspiring a generation of girls to be a force for gender equality and social change.

"I'm from the North" is the fitting phrase often used by singer/songwriter North, "where there's no such thing as bad weather - only inappropriate clothing!" Now living in London, this fearless 29-year-old songstress is using the battles she has fought and won, including the infamous BMU scandal that rocked the UK music industry in 2018, as fuel to fire the likely success of her first EP.

With influences that include Christina Aguilera and P!nk, North remarks "I love the whole strong, feisty and fearlessness thing they portray... they preach acceptance and fight for the underdog so I guess that resonates." She draws further inspiration from the likes of Slash, Nirvana, Elton John and Etta James which should be an indication of the wide-ranging sound you can expect to hear from North. Her powerful vocals are reminiscent of Christina Aguilera (and Canadian blues rock singer Sass Jordan I would add...) but with the soul of Janis Joplin, drawing you in while also making you aware that nothing will break her down. It's quite the thing to experience.

North's self-titled debut EP is being released today, Tuesday, March 24, on Dreamscope Records.

The EP is rooted in rock and blues with North's awe-inspiring vocals giving the project a distinct fearlessness.

The EP includes the leading single Breaking Me Down, an anthem for resilience, as North hopes to inspire herself and others to stay strong through life's darkest moments.

Los Angeles-based Motive Black is the creative phoenix born of singer Elana Justin's pain, tenacity, and resilience.

The New York raised rocker pulled up roots in 2018 and moved to the West Coast for a fresh perspective in her life and art. This would ultimately lead to dynamic new relationships and the formation of Motive Black.

Elana connected with Grammy-winning producer Nick Rowe who has worked with everyone from Vampire Weekend and Lamb of God to Madonna and Snoop Dogg. The duo wrote all the tracks for the band's upcoming debut EP due out later this year.

Broken is the first single released off the album. "Broken is about the fight I had internally that allowed me to break down the walls I'd built up around my heart for protection. By being willing to take a chance and open myself up again, I came back to being myself" said Elana.

Here's Nothing To You, indie-pop artist Payson Lewis' latest music video. Directed by Collin H. Duffy (Superfruit, Hunter Hayes, Toly), the music video follows Payson as he laments about being only a doormat (quite literally) for his lover.

The release of Nothing To You dives deep into the realization of when it's time to leave a relationship. The emotional journey Payson describes is highlighted through haunting production qualities worked by Ben Soldate who produced and mixed the song. The track also features mastering by Grammy Award-winning Eric Boulanger and Adam Tressler on guitar, who creates the perfect instrumental terrain for the visceral lyrics.

Born and raised in Philadelphia, Payson Lewis has always had a close relationship with music.   Just after graduating, his career was launched by placing 4th on NBC's The Sing-Off.  Since then, he has used his diverse musical skill set in performances all over the world.  He's sung with national symphony orchestras in Taiwan and Korea, starred in theatrical performances in Chicago and Las Vegas, sung on multiple major motion picture soundtracks, and acted on several TV shows, including Jane the Virgin, The People vs. OJ Simpson, and How I Met Your Mother.  Last year, he released his debut record, Take Me Apart to universal acclaim and amassed well over half a million streams on Spotify.

With Nothing To You, Payson Lewis displays his personal creativity and musical abilities while claiming his spot in the indie-pop scene. The single is available for download and streaming on all digital music platforms.

Framing Hanley is releasing their 4th studio album Envy via Thermal Entertainment today, February 21.

"If you would have asked me when we started back in 2007 'what do you envision as your sound 12 years from now'," states vocalist Kenneth Nixon. "I certainly wouldn't have predicted this -- but holy hell am I excited about the evolution in this band's music. We spent 3 years working on this album and it is undoubtedly the very best of Framing Hanley from start to finish. We needed a break in 2015 -- but we're back now, and we're firing on all cylinders."

Alt-rock duo Bad Wolf is releasing the official video for their new single Breathing Underwater today, Friday, September 27.

With vulnerable lyrics and catchy vocals that glide over moody guitars and powerful, driving drums, Breathing Underwater explores the internal conflicts a queer person faces when making their way in the world.

The cinematic video ties together themes of the ocean and mermaids combined with an LGBT storyline.

Based in Los Angeles, Bad Wolf has been creating their own unique version of alt-pop by forging together sci-fi and fantasy with a touch of Goth rock.  With sounds similar to Evanescence, Paramore, and Birthday Massacre, Bad Wolf has the competitive advantage of having different influences and musical backgrounds along with the skills of self-production. The duo, consisting of Kota Wade and Tommy Oleksyn, has diverse accolades, which range from performing with Echosmith and We Came As Romans, having over a million views on YouTube, to performing annually at the Labyrinth Of Jareth Masquerade Ball, one of North America's largest fantasy events.
