"A Time Like This" - by Audrey Pearl

Release Date: February 23, 2024

What You Should Know: "A Time Like This started as one line frantically typed in my notes app on a walk through the woods behind my childhood house about a year ago and became one of my favorite things I’ve ever worked on.

This song wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible production by @_alejandro._.xd_ and mix and master by @petrinjason.

I’m so grateful for @aviiipearl’s beautiful work on the cover art and @_keyframed_ ‘s willingness to put pantyhose over her camera and stand out in the freezing cold to get the perfect photos.

okay that’s it now go stream!!"

"End Us" - by Cece Benz

Release Date: February 23, 2024

What You Should Know: "I’ve intentionally never posted any clips of this song on my social media (other than promo of course) because the week after I wrote it, I recorded it in the studio. I love sharing my songs with the world and never posting a clip of this one was challenging, but it makes this moment so much more special. I hope you listen and you love what you hear, and if you’ve ever had an ex's mom apologize on their behalf - let’s bond over it lol."

"I Knew" - single by Ira Sharma 

Release Date: January 12, 2024

What You Should Know: "I co-wrote this song about how I felt at the time… knowing deep down that it won’t work with someone but still giving that person a shot and getting in a relationship until I reached a point when, of course, “I knew” all along that it won’t work.

But don’t worry the song isn’t half as sad as it sounds."
