Atlanta Programmers Turn Conference-Call Lyrics Into Debut Album “Smoke &”

Family music project MIЯROЯMOЯE releases reflective debut album built from lyrics written during long technology consulting calls.

Spotify | Apple Music

ATLANTA, GA / MusicWire / March 13, 2026 — A quiet family music project from Atlanta is stepping briefly into the public eye with the release of “Smoke &,” the debut album from MIЯROЯMOЯE.

Several of the songs on Smoke & began in an unlikely place: long technology consulting calls. The members behind MIЯROЯMOЯE work primarily as programmers and technical consultants, and many early lyric ideas were typed into notebooks or text files while waiting for meetings to end.

What started as small fragments of writing slowly accumulated into songs.

“A lot of these lyrics started as something to do during long conference calls. Eventually we realized we had a whole album hiding in the margins.”

In early summer 2025, the group decided to begin recording those ideas. The result is “Smoke &,” a reflective album exploring memory, fading friendships, love that almost worked, and the quiet realization that time continues moving forward whether people are ready or not.

MIЯROЯMOЯE is built around songwriting, placing the music and its stories at the heart of the project.

The album reflects the emotional landscape of modern life — where constant connectivity exists alongside a growing sense of distance. At the same time, the songs carry warmth, nostalgia, and subtle humor that often appears when people look back at their lives.

The project remains intentionally low-profile. The creators describe themselves simply as a family group from Atlanta that spends most of its time writing software and consulting on technology projects while quietly writing lyrics between meetings. Several members also live with social anxiety, making the decision to release the music publicly an unusual step.

Still, the songs continued to grow until the project felt worth sharing.

What began as lyrics written during conference calls eventually became “Smoke &.”

MIЯROЯMOЯE, “Smoke &”

Natalie Jean Channels Strength Through Softness on New Album Unbreakable Spirit

Out March 6, the new album blends soul, Americana, and contemporary influences in a powerful meditation on resilience, womanhood, and social impact.

Stream / Download

KENSINGTON, MD / MusicWire / March 9, 2026 — Internationally acclaimed Haitian singer-songwriter Natalie Jean unveils her latest album, Unbreakable Spirit — a powerful meditation rooted in resilience, womanhood, and social impact.

Unbreakable Spirit is grounded in the belief that remaining soft in a world that demands hardness is a radical act of resistance. Blending soul, Americana, and contemporary influences, the record draws from the emotional authenticity of women’s lived experiences. Across the album, Natalie explores the courage it takes to rise without abandoning tenderness.

Track-by-Track: Unbreakable Spirit

Each track on Unbreakable Spirit moves deliberately through struggle, healing, empowerment, and transformation. The album’s opening track, “Born to Lead,” introduces the record with a bang. Built from a clear sonic vision and brought to life alongside producer Alexi Von Guggenberg, the song recently won the Women’s Freedom Song Contest 2026 in the Lyric/Poem category and is also a semifinalist in the International Songwriting Competition 2025.

“‘Born To Lead’ is about all women and the quiet ways we’re taught to doubt ourselves. It’s a reminder that leadership doesn’t come from permission, titles, or fitting into someone else’s mold. Women have always led—through resilience, empathy, and courage—even when the world refused to call it leadership. This song is my way of saying that our voices matter, our instincts matter, and we don’t have to shrink to belong. When one woman stands in her truth, it gives others permission to do the same,” shares Natalie Jean.

From confronting silencing forces to reclaiming voice, the album is both declaration and sanctuary, giving language to women who refuse to shrink in the face of the current political climate.

Read Natalie’s article:
“Renee Good’s Death and a Nation’s Misogyny: America’s Uneasy Relationship with Strong Women”

Unbreakable Spirit is social-impact music in its most organic form. Natalie writes to give listeners space to feel, reflect, and recognize themselves in the lines — and between them. Her refusal to dilute emotion or conform to expectation makes Unbreakable Spirit one of her most poignant releases to date.

Originally from Shreveport, Louisiana, Blitz has spent the last 15 years building his career in Atlanta, steadily developing his sound and presence in one of hip-hop’s most competitive music markets.

His perseverance paid off in a major way when “Pressure (Shawty You Pressure)” exploded across streaming platforms, clubs, and radio nationwide. The record became a breakout urban hit, reaching the Top 15 on Urban Radio charts and the Top 20 on Rhythmic Radio in 2025, solidifying Blitz as one of the rising voices coming out of Atlanta’s new wave.

Big Money Blitz

The song’s momentum has translated strongly into the streaming world as well, where Big Money Blitz now reaches more than 850,000 monthly listeners on Spotify, while building a fast-growing audience of more than 120,000 followers on TikTok.

While celebrating the Gold certification of “Pressure,” Blitz is already pushing forward with new music. His latest single, “Big Booty,” is currently gaining heavy traction in clubs and on streaming platforms, continuing the high-energy sound that made his breakout record such a cultural moment.

With a Gold plaque now under his belt, a debut album in the works for a late-spring release, and momentum building behind his newest single, Big Money Blitz is positioning himself for an even bigger run in 2026.

As the Atlanta music scene continues to produce the next generation of stars, Blitz’s story — from Louisiana roots to Atlanta grind — is a testament to persistence, independent hustle, and the power of a record that connects with listeners everywhere.

Jack and Sage Acquires Sustainable Apparel Brand Kastlfel, Expanding Premium Logo Wear Across National Parks and Ski Resorts

DENVER, Mar. 5, 2026 / PRZen / Jack and Sage, the Colorado-based outdoor apparel company known for elevated design and premium destination retail programs, today announced the acquisition of 100% of the assets, intellectual property, and inventory of sustainable apparel brand Kastlfel.
The transaction includes a strategic partnership with Kastlfel’s parent company, Ecocentric Brands, ensuring continued screen print decoration in Denver under the same water-based, sustainability-driven standards that have defined the brand since its inception. Financial terms were not disclosed.

“This acquisition is a meaningful investment into sustainability and product expansion,” said Alex Biegler, Founder and CEO of Jack and Sage. “Kastlfel has built a best-in-class reputation for responsible manufacturing and trusted relationships with world-class outdoor retailers. By integrating their platform into Jack and Sage, we’re able to expand into the sustainable basics market while staying true to our elevated design DNA.”

Jack and Sage has established itself as a premium brand within national parks, ski resorts, and outdoor destinations. With the addition of Kastlfel, the company enters the broader basics and logo wear segment — including sustainable tees, headwear, and knitwear — while maintaining its premium positioning.

Kastlfel products are made exclusively from 100% sustainable materials, including organic cotton, recycled cotton, and recycled polyester. Every factory and production facility is certified to stringent global standards covering environmental processes, chemical management, and ethical labor practices.

“It’s not enough to simply claim sustainable materials,” said Marc Conner, COO. “Consumers want proof. Third-party certifications like GRS and OCS verify that our finished products contain the sustainable fibers we start with. Every step of the process is certified and transparent.”

The acquisition strengthens Jack and Sage’s offering to national park, ski resort, and specialty outdoor retail partners. The combined company now delivers a full suite of kids’, women’s, and men’s apparel and accessories, premium custom artwork capabilities, water-based sustainable screen printing in Denver, low minimum custom programs, and immediate access to dozens of new products.

Both companies are headquartered in Denver, Colorado. The combined organization anticipates significant growth over the next several years, with expanded hiring across design, production, and wholesale operations. Over the next 12–24 months, the product assortment will expand from tees into hoodies, crew necks, beanies, and caps.

“Our goal is simple,” said Biegler. “Deliver unmatched service, design, and product quality while raising the bar for sustainable logo wear.”

Stella Mabry Shares “Bored,” a Dreamy Indie‑Pop Single About New Love Anxiety

An intimate, reflective single exploring hesitation, hope, and “what if” thoughts in new love.

Stream/Download

OWENSBORO, KY / MusicWire / Feb. 26, 2026 — Rising singer‑songwriter Stella Mabry has released her new single, “Bored,” now available on all major streaming platforms.

“Bored” explores the anxiety of stepping into a new relationship after losing a first love. The song centers on the tension between excitement and hesitation, where hope exists alongside the constant presence of “what if” thoughts. It reflects the internal struggle between wanting to fully accept love and fearing the moment it might disappear.

“I love writing songs to feel like a story. And one of the main reasons I actually started writing was to make sure people could have a song which represents them in such a way that they feel seen musically. I love the feeling of having lyrics that narrate exactly what you’re going through, so I wanted to experience the joy of making music for others as well,” says Stella Mabry.

Sonically, the track blends intimate indie‑pop textures with Stella’s developing dreamy indie‑folk sensibility, creating a soft, reflective atmosphere that matches the vulnerability of the lyrics. “Bored” marks the next step in Stella Mabry’s continued artistic growth, offering a candid look at young love, uncertainty, and emotional self‑awareness.

El Mehdi Premieres “EL FILM,” a Self-Directed Musical Short Film, in Support of Debut EP “SALAM”

Pop as a sanctuary. Identity without compromise.

Listen to “SALAM” | Watch “EL FILM”

MusicWire / Feb. 11, 2026 — Moroccan-born, Canadian-raised cultural disruptor El Mehdi makes a bold entrance into the global pop conversation with “SALAM,” his landmark debut EP released January 30 via RENAISSANCE/AWAL, accompanied by “EL FILM,” a self-directed musical short film premiering today. The genre-defying project marks a historic debut for an openly queer Arab artist, expanding music into a cultural statement.

They say no one is a prophet in their own land. With “SALAM,” El Mehdi breaks the adage — and with it, silence, shame, and the glass ceiling.

The project unfolds with art-pop precision, bridging regional identity with global pop resonance. A leap of faith in a landscape that still polices who gets to exist freely, “SALAM” asserts presence without compromise. Ceremonial and defiant, El Mehdi’s sound fuses modern pop with North African and Middle Eastern influences, pairing rich vocals and cinematic strings with dance-driven energy, sensual urgency, and multilingual song writing in English, French, and Arabic. The result is an incandescent world that feels ancestral yet radically future-facing. El Mehdi doesn’t dilute identity to reach wider audiences — he expands pop itself to hold it.

This is pop that remembers where it comes from — but refuses to apologize for where it’s going.

Across five tracks, including the manifesto-like title track “SALAM” (meaning both “hello” and “peace” in Arabic) — El Mehdi transforms vulnerability into power. Written and creative directed by El Mehdi, and produced by El Mehdi and Sūn Jùn (LayLow, AntsLive, Dior), with mixing by Grammy-winner Wez Clarke (Zara Larsson, MARINA, Sam Smith) and string performances by Grammy-nominated Drew Jurecka (Dua Lipa), “SALAM” was created across continents — a global pop record born from emancipation, vision, and reclamation.

“I needed to create a space where we can exist without hiding. And beyond that, a place where we can celebrate ourselves” El Mehdi says. “SALAM is that place.”

Premiering today, “EL FILM” extends this declaration into cinema. Directed, choreographed, edited, and costumed by El Mehdi, the musical short film reflects his multidisciplinary approach, weaving music with dance, fashion, image, and storytelling. Set inside a Moroccan riad, the film unfolds as a passage from darkness into light, centered around a traditional mint tea ceremony. Beneath the anonymous male gaze, ritual chants and El Mehdi — an iconoclastic figure with an androgynous presence — fracture normative masculinity, allowing a fluid, liberated force to emerge. Traditionally associated with the sacred, these elements are reimagined — not as provocation, but as transformation.

“They wanted me in Hell. Baby, I went there. I came back. I only warmed up my tea.”

El Mehdi, “El Film” (Official Video):

Disruptive to some and inspiring to others, “SALAM” opens a dialogue many were waiting for and others feared. More than a debut, “SALAM” is a cultural statement.

A new voice has arrived — and it’s coming in peace.

About

Moroccan-Canadian artist El Mehdi first emerged with his debut single “ELKASS HLOU,” which sparked rapid traction across platforms, amassing hundreds of thousands of streams and views and breaking into Anghami’s Top 50 across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) — the leading streaming platform of the Arab world.

He crafts a magnetic, genre-defying pop sound shaped by his North African heritage, shimmering across English, French, and Arabic. A former spokesperson for Amnesty International Canada, El Mehdi has established himself as a distinctive voice within the global MENA diaspora.

With his follow-up “ENCORE” and its self-directed music video created in partnership with the Yves Saint Laurent Museum, Marrakech, El Mehdi affirmed a crystalline and uncompromising vision. He has been hailed as “a rising young phenomenon” (CBC) and “emblematic of a generation” (L’Orient Today), while ICON MENA described his work as “a quiet revolution, far from clichés.” Flaunt praised El Mehdi for challenging social and cultural expectations, The New Arab highlighted a stage presence that is both “elegant and subversive,” and Vogue Arabia noted his ability to move “with grace and intention.”

Previously artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts in Paris, El Mehdi has presented his work at TIFF, the BAFTA-qualifying Aesthetica ShortFilm Festival, and Amsterdam Dance Event, and has performed to capacity crowds across Canada (Nuit Blanche, Canadian Music Week, Montreal Pride).

In 2025, he made his big-screen debut as a leading actor in “L’Héritier des secrets” (dir. Mohamed Nadif), which premiered at theMontreal Museum of Fine Arts as part of Cinémania. Set for theatrical release in 2026, the film is the first Moroccan feature to address trans identity and co-stars Nisrin Erradi, who also appears in “Everybody Loves Touda” (dir. Nabil Ayouch), Morocco’s official submission for Best International Feature Film at the 97th Academy Awards.

On stage and in the studio, El Mehdi challenges what it means to be an Arab man in the modern world, transforming pop into ritual. With his debut EP “SALAM,” he ushers in a new era — free, luminous, and indelible.
