Hitch a ride to 1980 with Jonathon Plevyak’s new Nashville rock anthem, “Love After Midnight.” Stream it below!
“To me, this song is all about being young, having fun, and making memories with that special person,” “It’s been a wild and weird summer. My hope is that this song can add some fun to it and be a soundtrack to some memories made.”
“I grew up on so many 80s rock anthems…I wanted to have a song in that atmosphere that I could call my own.”
Dive into this fresh, hip-hop influenced pop jam from, Jared Minnix. Released with record label MMXVAC, and produced by With Løve.
So recently I was left feeling empty. Like nothing was fulfilling me. No amount of success, money, work, or relationship was giving me purpose and joy.
All though some people may interrupt the song to be a relational song about a couple, I was reminding myself that God is the only one that can truly fulfill you. People are human and they will mess up and let you down, regardless if they love you or not.
I couldn't find purpose in my work or anything I would chase after. I had this emptiness that I was trying to fill that only God could fill. I love how music is so interruptive and hope those who listen to this song know that there is purpose to their life. That they can find fulfillment in their life.
Peep this dreamy pop-synth tune by husband / wife duo, WIllix.
"This is a song I started writing four years ago in my car driving back and forth between Orlando and Lakeland. My wife and I were long distance at the time and I was struggling with being so far away from her. I started writing this song while driving over a really long bridge somewhere in Florida."

Check out this pumped up new tune from writing/production duo LÒNIS - (hit songwriter and producer Jennifer Hanson and award-winning mixer, engineer, producer and multi-instrumentalist Nick Brophy) featuring coveted Nashville based soul artist, Jeffrey James.
The song was recently placed in the new XBOX Games Pass Trailer, and is perfect to start to a night of wild partying, or a 20 mile run. you chose!
"'Ready for Somethin' New' being in the new XBOX Game Pass Trailer is the perfect combo. The song, a collab with the band LÒNIS, was an escape from my usual 'Jeffrey James' project and sound. And video games have always been my escape from the real world - a way to get out of my own head and explore new worlds for a while. Watching two of my favorite pastimes come together is a dream come true! - Jeffrey James
Time to celebrate a good old fashioned, DIY born and bread, Nashville pop/punk band. What’s not to love? Check out the recent Ghost Town Remedy release, “A Lesson in Shapeshifting” off of the most recent album, “Dry Spell”.
“Shapeshifting to me, deals with a really strange feeling of loneliness after everyone who initially swarmed towards a tragedy hops off the bandwagon and you’re left to deal with the mental aftermath alone. I wrote this song about a year or so after my youngest brother Daniel committed suicide in October 2014. I felt like I just needed to get everything I was feeling at the time that was building up inside me off my chest and it ended up becoming a form of therapy for me (as most of my songs end up doing in some shape or another).
This song is one of my favorites on the upcoming record because it really evolved into something beautiful both musically and lyrically throughout the recording process.This was largely due to the help of the rest of my band and Justin Francis (Our co-producer/Tracking Engineer). I was finally able to get over my initial fear of singing this song in front of people live and even bringing it to the rest of the band. I just had to tell myself that It’s ok to just be honest with yourself and wear your heart on your sleeve and most importantly say what you need to say (Thanks John Mayer) because no one is going to be able to genuinely write or sing that song for you. You will always be the best at being you. Ultimately, I hope people can find their own meaning to this song and that it will become something different for everyone.
Even though things ended tragically, that doesn’t define who Daniel was. I want him to be remembered for what he did during his life instead of how things ended. The way he went of his way to make others laugh when he himself was struggling, his love and dedication to his Photography/Video work, his witty and often dry sense of humor, His sometimes out of key singing that I miss so much, the late nights we stayed up writing songs and watching movies together, and his involvement in the Punk DIY scene in Northern VA.
Mental illness can be an uncomfortable topic to talk about for some people but I think more people have been affected by it than openly admit. I want to erase the stigma attached to it because you can’t fix the problem if we’re too afraid to talk about it. “
