Rising Country artist, Stephanie Ryann, has released her first music video for the song "Whiskey Regret" off of her debut, self-titled EP to commemorate the anniversary of its release last October. Directed and produced by The Noble Kitsunés at The Shanty in Brooklyn, NY, the video for "Whiskey Regret" is now available on YouTube. Written by Stephanie Ryann and Kevin Totoian, recorded and produced by Randy Funke, and mastered by Amy Marie from Yes Master Studios in Nashville, TN., "Whiskey Regret" takes listeners on a journey of trying to put the pieces back together from a "night out with the girls" turned all-nighter. "I wrote this song years ago, hoping to one day get the opportunity to give it life, and thanks to my co-writer, Kevin Totoian, we were able to create a fun, flirty song that many women can relate to," explains Ryann. Patrick from the online music blog, Southern Fellow, stated, "Stephanie Ryann doesn't just flirt with country music like many these days. She goes straight for the soul of it. This big city songstress captures the essence of country music better than many new artists today. All you have to do is listen to songs like "Whiskey Regret" to find this statement true." Before Stephanie Ryann found her way in country music, she has taken on roles as a volunteer firefighter, fashion model, back up vocalist, and makeup artist. Most recently, she has performed as a back up singer for solo artist, Eliot Lewis, of the legendary pop duo Hall & Oates while also performing on her own in New York City and Connecticut. Ryann recently released a "summer series" of songs including "Home" and "Travelers", available for streaming and download on digital platforms worldwide, and will be releasing her next single, "Summer Fling" in the next few weeks. In the words of Scott Lehr from BChord Cast, "Stephanie Ryann maybe new to the country music stage, but she will be around for a long time!"

Pop singer-songwriter and recording artist Nat Jay is thrilled to announce the release of the first single, "Sleep," off her forthcoming album. Released independently, the single will be available on streaming platforms worldwide on Friday, September 20. It will be the first taste of whats to come on her second full-length album, out later this Fall. Her first full-length, All I Think When I Wake Up, was nominated for Pop Album of the Year at the Western Canadian Music Awards in 2015 and named in the Top 10 Pop Albums of the Year on PopDose. Recorded with award-winning European pop producer Ovidiu "Ovi" Bistriceanu, "Sleep" shows Nat Jay has shifted from girl-with-guitar pop to a more commercial electropop sensibility, though still featuring the artists signature hook-friendly melodies and thoughtful lyrics. With Ovis ghostly and impeccable track underneath, Nat Jays topline writing skills shine through on "Sleep," with their rhythmic proficiency and vibrant lyrical imagery. "I originally wrote this song for Ovi, who suffers from insomnia due to a medical condition," explains Jay. "One day he described to me how he feels like he lives in two different worlds: one in the daytime, where he has his normal family life and works on music at his studio, and one where it's just him against the night, where he is so tired and tries everything to fall asleep, but sleep doesn't come. After hearing the sleepy bell sounds Ovi was playing with at the beginning of the track, I decided to try and create that nighttime world he had described." Since writing the song, Nat Jaywho suffers from her own health issues that greatly affect her sleeprecognizes that the meaning of "Sleep" has morphed into a bigger picture for her on how difficult it is to live with a physical illness, a mental illness, or a disability, to find an escape from it, and to try and reconcile this part of ourselves with the ambitions of our everyday lives. Since the release of her first demos in 2007, Nat Jay has amassed over 30 placements in film and TV on networks around the world. She has also shared the stage with Juno Award winners Dan Mangan and Sebell, as well as Matthew Barber, Oh Susannah, Justin Rutledge, Jay Brannan, and Angus & Julia Stone. She has been a featured songwriter at the Vancouver Folk Festival, a nominee for SOCAN Songwriter of the Year at the BCCMAs, and a guest on CBCs "Canada Live."
