Alexander Howard Releasing His Single “Mt Rushmore” On July 4th Just In Time To Celebrate Fun And Freedom
“I wrote ‘Mount Rushmore’ because I wanted to write a song about having fun…which is actually easier said than done! Songwriting comes pretty naturally when you’re in an introspective mood or just having one of those days, but when you’re out having a good time with you friends you’re usually much too busy having fun to take a minute and write! That said, ‘Mount Rushmore’ was about as much fun as I’ve had writing and recording a song. The tune loosely follows our escapades on a given night in a certain Nevada gambling town, with the title coming from us all trying to keep a “stone face” for a squad photo right after downing some $3 shots of nameless whiskey. Not my strong suit…pretty sure I winced If this song comes on in a bar and gets people to have a drink/take an embarrassing photo with their friends, then my work here is done…”
The inspiration behind Alexander Howard’s solo debut came out of a songwriting trip to Los Angeles. During a late night Hollywood session, the singer and multi-instrumentalist dialed in on writing artful Pop, crafting guitars, synth, and soulful hooks.
Returning to his hometown of New York, he immediately set to work honing his voice and sound that would become his first solo efforts with Robopop, the masterminds behind Lana Del Ray’s “Video Games” and Maroon 5’s “Payphone.”
Written and co-produced by Howard, the songs take inspiration from all walks of pop, ranging from sixties Motown to Top40 indie pop. Woven together by Howard’s pop rock vocals, his thematic songwriting and a sense of style all is own, this diverse offering is one of the most relevant NYC pop debuts in the current landscape.
Off-stage and outside the recording studio, Howard is a highly involved in New York’s fashion community and has been featured in various society and editorial features in the New York Times and notable fashion blogs.

This offering marks Javen Jackson‘s continuous steps towards a more modern and contemporary RnB sound while betting on electronic synths. “ALL IN” offers an enthralling juxtaposition of emotions that revolve around love, money, and sex. When I say it’s a must-listen, I truly mean it.
The former college athlete from Pensacola, Florida showcases his captivating vocal dexterity that suits the slow-paced and chill vibes. Of course, this release was possible thanks to the joint effort with Lu Kang.
Besides that, I believe he owes some debt to Chris Brown, Sam Smith, and The Weeknd’s artistic vision, which translates into his cutting-edge innovation.
“ALL IN” is his first appetizer for his upcoming debut album to be released in February 2023. Take a listen below!
Undoubtedly, such a great tune illuminates his sparkling ascending talent. Also, you will love the way he delivers every lyric of his intimate narrative wrapped in passion.
Javen Jackson is able to convey his feelings through his voice as he pours his heart out with a lot of energy. In other words, this is enough proof that he’s no longer holding himself back from making the music he loves.

Having been featured in All About Jazz, Sino Vision, Sino TV, and BronxNet TV, Vivi Hu now brings us a gentle tale and heartfelt reminder about the importance of staying true to oneself. This song paints a picture of how she found the confidence to be herself and make a difference, despite what others think. The lyrics are inspired by Vivi’s Chinese first name “雪薇（Xuewei), meaning “snow” and ”rose.”
The song talks about how she began to understand who she is, how to embrace herself and made a choice to be herself, regardless of other people’s opinions. To blossom wherever she is, even in the snow, even when people doubted her.
With beats reminiscent of Lo-Fi and Bedroom Pop, Hu brings us on a lyrical and sensually smooth journey through language and emotion. “Vivi, Hu?” is sure to be your next most played song as you stare out the window watching falling snow or rain and sipping on something warm and sweet.
