Premiere:: “Say My Name” – Douglas ★ Warren

Sometimes the last places we’d ever want to be lead us to where we need to go. For vocalist Chris Douglas Keller, Brooklyn seemed like it had become home. After tragedy struck, Keller uprooted his life in the Big Apple, heading back to home in Illinois and began creating music under the moniker Douglas ★ Warren. On his new single “Say My Name,” Keller pleads to the city he had to leave behind. “I had to move back to Illinois to recover,” he says, “it isn’t only remembering something special from my point of view, but asking something special from a city I shared such a bond with.” Keller tells us this is one of the most honest songs he has ever written, and this honesty presents itself in the true emotion ringing through. Give a listen to “Say My Name” below!

New Acoustic Song: “Blasphemy Myself And I” | Hit The Lights

“I’ve always gotten a kick out of making off color remarks. I’ve been attracted to very dark humor and have a cynical way of thinking. I tend to get a kick out of saying offensive and turning toward a more offensive type of humor that has gotten me into trouble more than once. “Blasphemy, Myself and I” lyrically is a little self analyses on why I think I say the things I do, and realizing it’s a coping mechanism I use to deal with my own discomfort in our society. It’s an honest song, and it’s one of my favorites off of Summer Bones so we did an acoustic version that I think really compliments the melodies and feel of the original,” shares vocalist Nick Thompson.

Premiere:: “Cold (Revisited)” – Amanda Markley

We are thrilled to share that we have teamed up with the incredibly talented Amanda Markley to premiere her latest single, “Cold (Revisited).” Much like the weather in the city she calls home, this stripped-down version of Seattle vocalist Amanda Markley’s “Cold” is dark, damp, and dreary. But lowered temperatures and tempos come with plenty of chills, and Markley’s aching voice sends shivers running over your skin. “‘Cold’ is a song about longing and sadness,” Markley states, “and I wanted to revisit it because I connect so closely to its lyrics. I wanted to record a version where the raw emotions I was feeling in the lyrics match the way they’re delivered.”

Markley has been hard at work over the last few weeks, diligently writing and recording her self-titled EP, which will be released May 6th. The five-track EP, which was written and produced with the help of some fellow Washington-based artists (Adamm Mitchell, Chase Manhattan, Matt Bacnis, and Chloe Hendrickson), features this revisited single. Whether it’s the fuller version or its gray counterpart, “Cold” is sure to please and Markley is poised for something special. Don’t believe us? Give “Cold (Revisited)” a listen below!

Following the release of her brand new EP, Markley will be heading to Nashville to record a few songs with singer/songwriter/producer Will Pugh (Cartel) and fans should keep their eyes peeled on a possible duet in the near future!
