About: LA-based artist SMILEZ is no stranger to being a vibrant presence in a crowd.

  • He is the missing link to connecting grungy catharsis and candid hip-hop bravado.

  • Emerging as a rare disruptor in the new rage space, he has had numerous successful tours with Trippie Redd and JuiceWRLD, to name a few.

  • Already amassing over 337k Instagram followers and over a million streams on all platforms, he recently shared his newest Self Sabotage release.


Self Sabotage: On March 12th, he released his new single, Self Sabotage, which Digital Naz produced as a blend of hip-hop and punk rock.

  • The single emits a chaotic and contagious energy emphasized by throbbing beats and clashing percussion elements.

  • He says the song is a reflective piece in which he sees himself tending to self-sabotage, and he wanted to explore that idea in this song.

SMILEZ Feedback: SMILEZ is a different kind of hip-hop I am drawn to, but I still need to understand why fully.

  • Sometimes, people like me need a little punch to their taste buds, and he gives that to me.

  • Fans of Grandson, JuiceWRLD, and other unique hip-hop and alternative musicians would love him.

Self Sabotage Feedback: I love the vibe in this song. Its bass and high-driven energy are beyond amazing.

  • While I think the bass could be a little more solid, the music is a slap in the face (oh, God bless my subwoofer).

  • Sometimes, artists can be more confident, but this song justifies that confidence.

About: The Camens are an influential UK band on a fearless mission to seize the world with its enormous sound.

  • They deliver an electrifying high, energy performance worthy of any festival stage.

  • They recently released their newest single from their next album, Confetti & Kalashnikovs, and the album is WORK/LIFE/BALANCE.


Confetti & Kalashnikovs: The new single, released on February 29th, explores the ups and downs of relationships.

  • Initially, the song was meant to be fun and light-hearted, with different oxymorons about love and war.

  • The product, a sunny summer vibe setting the tone for their upcoming album, focused on creating authentic, raw, and relatable music.

Camens' Feedback: Camens' sound has grown, especially recently.

  • They have moved from a relatable mix of deep singles to even more profound, rawer, new, improved singles that give you a more profound sense of relatability.

  • They are great for fans of The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club, and maybe even Death Cab for Cutie.


Confetti & Kalashnikovs Feedback: The new track is catchy and complex, like the song's title nods its head to.

  • The Wombats would love this track, and I love it, so to say I have no criticism, I put it lightly.

  • Scott tells me he wants to hit the charts with this quality... Why not?

  • The single features stunning, ethereal vocals, vibey beats, and echoing guitars, creating an overall consuming atmosphere.

  • She says her sister is "a person that owns herself 100%, she loves her crazy side and she'll always say it. Burn It Down is a song where you can own your 'crazy' and celebrate it."

Yarin Glam Feedback: Yarin is another musician who is quickly becoming a regular in the features, and I love the quality of her production.

  • Her unique album covers remind me of the nostalgic feel of all her tracks, especially her songs Alright, Shut Up, and Unbothered.

  • Her music is great for fans of Alessia Cara, Amy Winehouse, and others.
