“I Just Wanna Live” Keedron Bryant Warner Records

After the release of his powerful song “I Just Wanna Live” gave the Black Lives Matter movement an anthem and captivated audiences and press alike, Keedron Bryant shares a brand new uplifting single entitled “U Got This.” On the track, hummable harmonies, a rich bass line, and flute-driven production underscore heartfelt verses. Integrating a gospel-style call-and-response into R&B pop, the song illustrates the scope of his soaring style. Most importantly, “U Got This” sets the stage for the release of Keedron’s anxiously awaited debut EP “I Just Wanna Live,” set for release on Sept. 11.

“Problems” Bryce Vine Sire Records

Multi-platinum artist Bryce Vine released his brand-new, introspective EP “Problems” Aug. 20. The 5-track set includes previously released “Problems” and “Life Goes On” along with three more deeply personal songs penned during quarantine. When the world turned upside down, Bryce Vine grabbed a guitar, sequestered himself in a tiny bedroom and catalogued the moment as it unfolded right in front of him. Without a filter, he let his guard down, spoke from the heart, and crafted what became the “Problems” EP out of eloquent observations, catchy confessions and emotionally charged delivery. With no live music to list, this spot will be filled by news and reviews of new albums, both local and national. Send information about your new releases to Jocelyn Murphy at jmurphy@nwadg. com.
