Summer is bringing a whole bunch of hot music with it! Frisco artist Ella Red kicked off the show with her new in-your-face single “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is” while Dallas artist Dana Harper had us totally grooving with “Daydreaming.” Fort Worth group The Sellers released the single “Brooklyn Nights”- a song about heartbreak in NYC that ends in tragedy- ahead of the band’s new album 42 and we even got a new love song from Ghost Cloak.
Check out the full playlist after the highlights and if you are an artist from North Texas, be sure to submit your music here.
Dana Harper
Harper is an alum of the NBC show The Voice (she was Team Blake on Season 11!). Her new song “Daydreaming” pays homage to the song of the same name by Aretha Franklin while taking us on a funk-filled journey that is all her own.
Ghost Cloak
Ghost Cloak is the project from British-born and Mckinney-based artist Hasan Naeem, who became the first artist signed to the Matte Black Sound Company in Fort Worth. KXT writer Waffles talked to him about his last release, “On The Line”, and now Ghost Cloak is back with the love song “Pop Rocks.”
Ella Red
Frisco artist Ella Red first stepped into the world of music as a cello player and has grown into a multifaceted artist. “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is” is a catchy tune that carries the challenge of being who you say you are.
