The talented singer, songwriter and guitarist has seen his music resonate with a big audience throughout the past couple of years, with his releases “Oh, San Francisco” and “On Like 40” amassing almost 2 million combined streams on Spotify.
Now, Jake Zimma is back with his first song of 2021, motivational gem “Be Easy.” Produced alongside Zenaware and mastered by Grammy-winning engineer Reuben Cohen in Los Angeles, “Be Easy” is arguably one of Jake Zimmer’s best tunes to date. Filled with acoustic guitar melodies and groovy percussion, “Be Easy” finds Jake Zimma wanting to inspire himself and his fanbase. As he explains:
“This is a song about struggle. About the deep desire for life to just “be easy” for a day. In a time where so many people are struggling I created this song to help motivate myself and hopefully others. My main goal was to switch it up and hopefully get the people dancing.”

Rising Berlin-based alternative R&B singer-songwriter/producer/artist Mulay just dropped this enticing new music video for her song “Antracyte” ahead of her forthcoming EP that is dropping via Groenland Records. Tune into the sassy single above now and keep your eyes on Mulay, she’s got something special going on here. Read a quote from her after the jump!
“ANTRACYTE is the intro and title track to my debut EP. It’s the soundtrack to the birth of a villain and captures the moment of complete honesty to yourself about the awareness of doing wrong by the ones you love while feeling the inability to turn around. It’s about the desire to taste forbidden fruits, to cross and explore what lies beyond the line and the self-empowering feeling of playing by your own rules defeating the fear of consequences and the power of moral concepts. ANTRACYTE tells a story of contradicting emotions, a story of love, lust, pain and a longing for more. It’s about facing your own darkness and sins, about self-revelation, emancipation and about paying its price, resigning to your fate.”
