Filipino-Norwegian chart-topper Clinton Kane reels from a terrible breakup on rock-leaning single ‘Go To Hell’

Filipino-Norwegian singer-songwriter Clinton Kane has finally released “GO TO HELL,” a breakup song that finds him reeling from the dissolution of a romantic relationship. 

Often referred to as “the rock song” on socials, the track shows a different side of the dynamic artist while keeping Clinton’s songwriting at the forefront.

Speaking about the new track, Clinton emphasizes that the song is completely different from anything that he has released in the past, and that it has a more alternative rock-leaning edge to it. “ Hey my family. Third single of the f*cking year, the rock song, is finally out. I Love you with all my heart. This is Clinton Kane rock era baby! I hope you love the song, and I love you for your patience. I know I’m a big tease, but you are my everything. Go Listen to ‘Go To Hell’ everywhere.”

Filipino folk-reggae artist JAPPH captures the groove of surf town life on “I Will” music video

Filipino indie singer-songwriter JAPPH projects an aura of bohemian cool when it comes to his music. 

His work, an infectious blend of campfire-friendly folk and light reggae lilt, has summer written all over it. He aims for carefree breeziness that zips through the airwaves with images of a laid-back trip to the beach or the mountains—a sonic trademark that he pulls off with unassuming confidence and warmth.

It’s an acoustic surf track built around a blissful vibe, ready to soundtrack your long drives and sunset chills at the hammock anytime soon.

Mikly Chance Recast "Tainted Love" As Paranoid Fantasy In New Video Out Today

Milky Chance - the 5+ billion-streaming German duo currently enjoying a Top 5 hit at US Alternative Radio with “Colorado” - have shared the official video for their cover of the Gloria Jones song (later popularized by Soft Cell) “Tainted Love.” Featured on the group’s recent Trip Tape mixtape, the track is completely recast here as a paranoid fantasy in which Milky Chance’s Clemens Rehbein appears bloodied and bewildered (but from what?). Shot in Berlin by frequent Milky collaborators Sebastian Ganschow & Vincent Sylvain, the video adds an unsettling new chapter to a song with an already unlikely history dating back to its original release in 1964.

Milky Chance hit “Colorado” is currently #4 at Alternative Radio in the US and has over 65 million global streams. The group is currently on a US tour of some of their largest venues to date with many dates already sold out. See below for a full list of remaining shows.
