What You Should Know: "I’ve had this song in my pocket for over a year now and have been waiting for the right moment, and grad season just felt right. This song is also the first single off my NEW EP, Mirror, releasing this summer. It’s a 5 song collection of reflections, musings on growing up, and self-identity. These five songs are some of the most vulnerable I’ve ever written & sharing them right now feels so right. "

"Out of Our Control" - by Haley Montelaro

Release Date: May 1, 2026

What You Should Know: "I cannot express how surreal this is. My younger self knew she wanted to be an artist and a songwriter, but didn't know how to get there. Every year of middle and high school I would say "This is the year I'll release music" but had no idea what steps to take.

Now at the age of 19 I can say I have 9 tracks out, 6 of which are in this EP. Life is crazy."

"everything i've ever wanted" - by Kiara Skyler

Release Date: October 18, 2024

What You Should Know: "I like to describe "Everything I've Ever Wanted" as growing out of adolescence and entering adulthood for the first time. I wrote it as my final assignment for a songwriting class last semester, the prompt being to write a list song. I often think of all the possible paths I could take in my life and where I would be if I weren't pursuing my dream. This song lists out all these possibilities and is a reflection of that overly analytical part of myself.”

"toxic relationship" - by Grenon

Release Date: October 18, 2024

What You Should Know: "Growing up as an awkward kid, it was the songs that were the most brutally honest that made little Kacie feel the most seen. In an age where we’re constantly being told we’re not good, funny, pretty, cool enough, it’s so easy to compare our messy human lives to each others highlight reels online. It’s just as easy to put ourselves down. I haven’t released music in over a year because it scared  me. It still does. That said, toxic relationship is yours"

"Snow in July" - by Maeve Zamuner

Release Date: October 18, 2024

What You Should Know: " i love this song with all my heart and i’m so happy that you all can listen to it now. this song is about a lot of things but at its core it’s a song about growing up and navigating that - so get in that nostalgia mindset and celebrate this song however u feel best fits you (get a tattoo, scream the lyrics, send me baked goods)."
