Every year on April 15, millions of Americans file their taxes. Some dread it. Some dodge it. Nobody has ever celebrated it. Until now.

Tax Day just got a soundtrack. “Tax Day,” out April 10, is a chic, danceable retro-swing pop track by Dutch independent artist Supertrendt that turns April 15 into something worth putting on the calendar. Think Caro Emerald meets Dua Lipa: sophisticated, ironic, and impossible not to move to. It acknowledges the dread, celebrates what taxes pay for — “Streetlights still shining / Bridges that hold / Classrooms and clinics / Heat in the cold” — and makes the whole thing feel like a party rather than a punishment.

The new EP is a best of Nick Hedden that is completely revisited, remixed and remastered by veteran Producer/Manager, Dan McConomy and his engineer/mixer, Mohammad “MOMO” Sadeghin during the fall of 2025. “We basically kept his vocals, a guitar, and had everything else redone to bring it up to industry standard to get I SEE YOU and IS THAT SO WRONG? on the radio as we thought it deserved. The other two songs are some standout songs from his prior recordings.”

There are songwriters who build careers—and then there are those who quietly build emotional worlds for others to inhabit. Kevin Fisher belongs to the latter.

His songs have travelled widely—across genres, across voices, across borders—but at the center of it all is something far more intimate: a lifelong search for truth.

A multi-platinum songwriter and producer, Fisher’s work has been recorded by artists including Rascal Flatts, Sara Evans, Uncle Kracker, Little Big Town, and the legendary Paul Anka. His music has found its way into film and television—from True Blood to Pretty Little Liars—and onto the stage through musical theatre, including Unbeatable: A Musical Journey. 

But to focus only on the credits is to miss the essence of who he is.

“I’ve just always written songs,” he says simply.

In fact, his relationship with songwriting began so early it almost feels mythic.

“I wrote my first song when I was about two or three years old.”

Just a line—half-remembered, half-imagined. But the impulse was already there. Not learned. Not chosen. Simply present.

Toronto’s Rising Indie Pop Visionary Unleashes Lead Single “Dancefloor Shoes,” a Euphoric Anthem of Liberation, Presence, and Queer Nocturnal Joy.

Toronto-based indie pop artist Aman Dhesi announces the release of his debut album The Restless Night, out today via Zedd Records, alongside the album’s opening statement, the lead single “Dancefloor Shoes.” Produced by Mark Zubek and Dhesi himself, the track arrives as a shimmering, propulsive declaration of self-liberation — a dance-floor ready anthem designed to move bodies and spirits in equal measure. With its pulsing synth architecture and irresistible Saturday-night energy, “Dancefloor Shoes” signals the full arrival of one of independent pop’s most compelling new voices.

There is something undeniably compelling about an artist who does it all. Writing. Producing. Recording. Mixing. That artist is Sean Thomas, and his new single "BETTER" with the kind of scale and ambition that signals a defining moment.

Thomas is 24, Vancouver-born, and a summa cum laude graduate of Berklee College of Music at just 20. He has collaborated with New Kids on the Block, Debbie Gibson, Joey McIntyre, and New Edition, and built a reputation as a creative force who understands every inch of the studio. On "BETTER," he channels that experience into something personal and panoramic at the same time.

"I wanted this song to hit like an arena anthem," Thomas says. His choir background guided the process, leading him to stack more than 100 background vocal layers to achieve the sweeping chorus he heard in his head. The result is a wall of harmony that feels engineered for collective singalongs, hands in the air, lights blazing.
