This APP is now simply trash. There’s no engagement anymore, just ranting for the most part. I’m not posting here going forward, it’s now a non-essential read-only APP for me. I can be found on FB, IG, Threads and BlueSky.

Another round of layoffs started at UMG today. Artists and their fans often blame labels for everything, but many of the people working in these buildings to support artists care deeply about the work. Some artists may have just lost their only advocate at the company.

After 11 amazing years, we are now independent artists. We are eternally grateful to our incredible team at Columbia/Distruptor for a decade plus of hard work that has resulted in unimaginable success. We have no idea what to expect for our next chapter but we are extremely excited to have fun and experiment with all our new music releases. Thank you for sticking with us fam we know we owe you some records!

A big thank you to Bill at BILLCS Music Blog for reviewing my new single, “LOVING” (Luv Foundation UK Radio Mix).
Bill has supported my music since 2022, starting with his review of the Champain remix of “Sexy Boy.” Since then, he’s reviewed 9 others.

1/3 A rare post from me here but with sad news for #disco and #dance music lovers. RIP disco/dance pioneer Ray Caviano. This obituary doesn't mention it but he was 75 and passed away suddenly due to kidney/dialysis complications. soultracks.com/music-industr…
2/3 He worked with Warner, TK, and Atlantic as a music executive and was hired to Warner with his own imprint, RFC, which he later took to Atlantic. He worked with all of the most famous disco stars, many of whom he broke into clubs and then on to radio.

New music not sticking has less to do with quality and more with the fact that little in life is a shared experience anymore. A song didn't need to be otherworldly 15 years ago to capture our collective attention. Now we have No. 1 records people haven't heard.

It’s gotten so easy for anyone to write to anyone - or for people to flash their phone with requests etc - I keep thinking about what’s going on in someone’s head when they decide to write.
And I kinda think there’s so little thought that it can barely be called a DECISION 😂
