Another Success For EpicFail

Our top drop of the week is coming from EpicFail, who you’ll likely remember as 1/3 of the trio that worked on Christina’s chart-stopping release ‘The Hardest Thing’, which came out on Muse Music Records last month.

After dropping the fully instrumental follow up, ‘Tonight’, on April 18, exclusively on Gala Music, EpicFail is back with another vocal track, this time enlisting the talent of frequent collaborator, NessaKay for the fresh electro house, mainstage release, ‘Say You’ll Stay’.

Coming to us on Liftoff Recordings, ‘Say You’ll Stay’ has been lauded as “channeling the likes of Tiesto, Tritonal, and Hardwell with a nostalgic yet fresh progressive jam.”

A haunting melody that builds to a fire drop, ‘Say You’ll Stay’ will set your days, nights, and life alight. All you have to do is press play.

More Maratone Magic

Next on our list, mix-master Maratone recently gifted us with not one, but two new mixes of the vocal trance smash ‘Learn To Fly’, which he released with Roxanne Emery back in the spring of 2020.

Co-written with Daniel & Suzanna Storey, the original was a truly apt release for the time, and Maratone shared a bit about his experience working on it and highlighting some of the previous remixes on his Instagram prior to this most recent refresh.

Following off the tremendous duo of tracks he released on Abora Chillout a couple weeks back, this release on Abora Unplugged includes an acoustic AND a pop version of the song, and I’m honestly torn as to which one I love more! (I’ve always been taken with a beautiful vocal over piano and strings.)

This Girl Is On Fire

Once again this week I’m playing catch up on Sarah de Warren’s drops, ’cause when it comes to new tracks and fresh mixes, nobody keeps me on my toes like Sarah does.

First up is the Paradise Inc. Remix of her 2023 release ‘This Is the Life’ with Hanno & Charming Horses, which was dropped on May 3 by LoudKult.

An electropop cover of Scottish singer-songwriter (and straight up superstar) Amy Macdonald’s chart-topper from 2007, Paradise Inc. has added an Afro house twist that makes this refresh a perfect vibe for your ‘Sounds of Summer’ playlist.

Then on and May 8 we saw the mid-week drop of Sarah’s new track, ‘Out My Head’ her debut collab with drum and bass phenom Culture Shock.

Co-writen with Pete Hammerton and released on Culture Shock’s own label, Culture Shock Music, the track has already been featured on Jack Saunders’ BBC Radio 1’s Future Sounds radio show, which Sarah shared more about in this superfun carousel on Instagram. (& can I just add, girl’s social media is ALWAYS ON POINT!)

If you like what you hear in the video, be sure to check out the full track, which is available now wherever you like to listen.

And to make it a full on hat-trick, on May 10, Seal Network JV dropped Sarah’s deep house collab with okafuwa & Jon Fierce, ‘Hearts On Fire’.

A duet with okafuwa, who has previously lent his voice to tracks with Jorden Dux & Sunlike Brothers, ‘Hearts On Fire’ is a smooth as silk single about the kind of love we all long for.

It’s Only Just Begun

Coming up on a hat trick of my own, this post marks week 2 of closing out our Muse Music Musings with news about Christina’s It’s Not Me, It’s You! Summer Tour.

Sunday, May 12 marked the debut performance, with Christina taking the stage at Uno Malta for the Rong Open Air Festival.

Sadly, Rong doesn’t offer livestreams of their sets — which I would happily pay for, if anyone from Rong ever happens to read this .

They did, however, upload some footage to their Instagram stories, and I HAVE been wanting to try my hand at fan edits, so here’s a little cap I spliced together of Christina KILLING it behind the deck AND in front of it.

If more official footage is uploaded, I’ll be sure to let you know, and if you’re ever looking for audio or video from past events, I’ll be linking to everything that’s been made available from this year onward on the Past Events section of the ‘Christina Live’ page. (I also plan to do the same for the other MMM artists, whenever possible.)

And be sure you’re following Christina and Muse Music Management on Instagram to get the most up-to-date content, direct from the source.

That’s a lot of magic for one week wouldn’t you say, Fam?

Let me know in the comments below which of today’s featured tracks is your fave, or if you’ve ever had the thrill of seeing Christina live! #jealous

And keep an eye out for next week’s post where I’ll be featuring new music from Susie Ledge, Linney & Brittany Egbert, plus fresh mixes from Siskin and yep, you guessed it, Sarah de Warren!

I’ll also have a recap of Christina’s next summer tour stop in Prague with Sue McLaren AND Susie Ledge!!!

As always, thanks for stopping by!
