Zach Hood releases the infectious pop ballad ‘not them‘.

Hood states, ‘not them’ is about the thoughts you have after a breakup and what you wish you could have done differently. You know where you could have improved to maybe make the relationship work, but the damage is already done and you know it will never be the same. No matter what you say or what you do, you will never get back to what it felt like at the beginning.”

Zach Hood, originally from Daphne, Alabama, now resides in Los Angeles who sings, writes songs, and plays multiple instruments. He began his music journey using social media, where he sang covers on Instagram and gained a following on TikTok. In 2021, Hood made his first appearance with the song “Flashbacks,” which garnered 4.8 million streams on Spotify. Shortly after, he released “Isabelle,” which clocked 12.2 million streams and earned praise from OnesToWatch. Hood eventually caught the attention with Arista Records and signed a deal. He blends punk and pop influences, drawing comparisons to artists like Thomas Day, Shawn Mendes, and Jonah Kagen.

Singer songwriter Anni releases the new track “Fairgrounds.” The mid-tempo track blends folk, electro, and rock, which I love. It’s one of those songs where I’m not sure where it’s going, but I’m enjoying the journey. It’s also the eighth single leading up to her EP release in the new year.

LA based Anni says this about the song, “This song was inspired by a performance I had at the LA county fair. I found out my ex had showed up and watched the show. The song itself stems from the feeling you get when you realize you deserve better. When you realize you can’t be someones validation. They only crave the attention you give them. The lyrics play with the idea that your relationship has gone to the ‘fairgrounds’. Games are being played and you are going in circles.”

Anni’s music has been featured in MTV’s Real World Atlanta, American Ninja Warrior and the HBO Max show “12 Dates of Christmas.” Along with music, Anni is the creator of the popular artist showcase and community ‘Saturdays at Seven’. She is also a poet with her debut book ‘Remedies’ coming out January 2024.
