Steve Aoki And Taking Back Sunday Team Up For "Just Us Two"

2x-Grammy-nominated artist and producer Steve Aoki teams up with Taking Back Sunday for the new high-octane single “Just Us Two.”

The new song is a full-circle moment for Aoki. It finds him leaning into the alternative roots of the start of his career with his record label Dim Mak in his college dorm room, championing music from acts like The Kills and Bloc Party. Now, with their performance on “Just Us Two” Aoki and Taking Back Sunday made the recording in the studio “old school style,” according to Aoki. It was written by the entire band and Steve from scratch during a late afternoon studio session only a few months ago. Taking Back Sunday offers their signature vocal stylings to the song while the energy of Aoki’s production brings a cinematic element that gives the song a dynamic cross-genre appeal.

The technicolor, neon-lit music video finds the artists rip-roaring through an eerie motel, reverberating a performance of “Just Us Two,” surprising guests in the airwaves and on television screens.

Break down your walls with Valentina Ploy in her new single “Berlin”

Valentina Ploy breaks down walls between herself and listeners in “Berlin”, her second single with Warner Music Asia. The track will drop across all digital streaming platforms at midnight of 9 June 2022.

Coming back with yet another upbeat tune, Valentina Ploy has a way with radiating her sunshine personality even when singing to a lyrically sad song. We see people build walls as a coping mechanism while they are in relationships. As the track title suggests, ”Berlin” expresses the frustration of being with someone who puts up walls as high as The Berlin Wall. Co-written with Richard Craker, the upbeat pop tune takes listeners on a relatable journey in trying to break down and cross these walls built up by the person that they love.

Filipino-Norwegian singer-songwriter Clinton Kane reminisces on his past with new song “14”

Debut album, MAYBE SOMEDAY IT’LL ALL BE OK due this summer

Clinton Kane has shared “14,” the latest song lifted from his forthcoming debut album due this summer via Columbia Records. The reflective record transports listeners to Clinton’s 14-year-old self and follows his inner monologue as he grows into adulthood. Listen HERE and watch the accompanying official video HERE. 

In speaking about the new song, Clinton says: “I’ve teased this song for officially a year; I wish I took another year to tease, but I would’ve gotten cancelled. Can’t believe ‘14’ is finally out!

This song breaks my heart into a million pieces every single time I listen to it. I wrote it 2 years ago when I was at my lowest with myself – doubting every single thing about me: how I grew up, where I’m from, and who I am. This song took a year to write, with 30 different choruses and verses being written to this track. I hope you find peace when you listen to this song and know that you are not alone in this world.”
