📀Why It’s Spinning
“Okay y’all, I’ve got somebody I want to put you on to. I had the pleasure of meeting Zharia Amel a couple of weeks ago at a music mixer, and I’ve been tapping into what she’s been building ever since.
She’s a pop singer from Compton, California, and I really love her artistry, her sound, and her whole creative direction. She’s also got her Paint the City Pink show coming up this Tuesday in Hollywood, ahead of her EP dropping in September.
I know about it, and I feel like y’all should know about it too. So for today’s Recap Radio pick, we’re getting into “Töxic” by Zharia Amel.”

Hearne — "Song of the Summer"
📀Why It’s Spinning
Summer songs don't always have to be loud.
Sometimes they feel like driving with the windows down, catching up with friends, or letting a moment breathe. “Song of the Summer” leans into that feeling, pairing an easygoing groove with a warmth that stays with you.
While many listeners may remember Hearne from his early years in entertainment, this record is a reminder of the artist he's continued to grow into.
It's the kind of record that doesn't demand your attention. It earns it.
