(Video) Max Wonders – “Stunt Double” @maxwonders
21-year-old Chicago Native, Max Wonders shares new song “Stunt Double”, along with an accompanying self-directed video. The single marks the first official release from Max since his last full length release, 2016’s Hues To Blame, with just a loosie, “Child” being premiered by Zane Lowe on Beats 1 Radio last year. It will be the first offering from his upcoming album, slated for Spring 2019.
The song, produced by Ohio-producer Luna & Max himself, sees our protagonist bring a charged energy to the thought of greed. With Max taking unabashed swings at the concept, and encompassing some of that greed and ego himself.
On the subject, he remarks: “Stunt Double is an ode to the misunderstanding of resources; what we’ll do to obtain them, and the subsequent overzealous and careless mistreatment of said resources. The way our view on ourselves can start to morph once we let our ego in a bit. It was my way of saying “this is the moment the person on their ascent into everything they thought they ever wanted says ‘screw it'”. The fire in the pit of your stomach can be just as much of an asset as the calm sometimes. You learn who you are.”

(Video) Star2 x Seko – “Once in a While” @Star2Official
Thai refugee artists Star2 and Seko release “Once In A While”, the heartfelt new single and music video. Both born in the Mae La refugee camp in Thailand, the artists draw on their rich cultural heritage with the song almost entirely sung in the Ka-ren language and the music video filmed in Thailand.
“Once In A While” features poignant lyrics that reflect the deep emotions of longing and love, such as “My tears I secretly wipe them away by myself / I love you so much, so whatever you say is never wrong / I’ll chase after you over a hundred times”. Tugging at your heartstrings, the song is beautifully layered with rich harmonies, delicate piano notes, and a backdrop of female vocals that evoke a sense of connection that feels both intimate and distant. As both artists deliver their verses with raw, unfiltered emotion, the feeling of lost love is one that is never forgotten.
Refugee pop meets hip hop artist Star2 fled his refugee camp as a child when the Burmese Army destroyed their village and attacked them in the middle of the night. Faced with overwhelming heartache and loss growing up, Star2 found his solace in music. He has collaborated with the likes of Soulja Boy, $tupid Young, Mozzy, MBNel, Luh Kel, Lil Poppa, HoodTrophy Bino, YSN Flow, and MarMar Oso just to name a few. Now, Star2 is on a mission to elevate the next generation of Ka-ren and Asian Artists.
