Ana & Gene return with a pair of irresistible new singles that bring the spirit of 90’s indie rock roaring back to life, wrapped in a fresh modern pop-rock sound bursting with energy, emotion, and massive singalong hooks. Their latest release, “I Feel Alive So Alive,” captures the uplifting rush of survival and self-belief with a huge warm chorus, driving guitars, and an infectious feel-good energy that sticks in your head from the very first listen. Blending the melodic charm of classic 90’s indie bands like Ash with a polished modern edge, the track bounces along with an irresistible rhythm that makes you want to dance, sing, and celebrate life. Ana’s sweet, emotive vocals shine throughout, while the layered gang vocals give the song a true stadium-ready atmosphere that perfectly matches its message of resilience and triumph.

At the same time, Ana & Gene have unleashed another standout anthem with “See Me Smile,” a gritty yet melodic pop-rock explosion fuelled by jangly distorted guitars, driving rhythms, and a massive chorus designed for shouting along at full volume.

Beyond 17 from Joseph H Dean Rocks the A-List and Powerplay Spotlight

Just landed on our A-List Playlist is the powerful new single Beyond 17 from Joseph H Dean. This epic rock anthem will now be played every few hours across the station and also features as our special daily ROCK POWERPLAY at 4:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month. With crashing drums, soaring guitar solos, and deep emotional energy, Beyond 17 brings classic rock roaring back with heart, grit, and purpose.

Joseph H Dean has released his latest single, Beyond 17, a rocking and melodic track that marks a bold return to the music scene. As guitar music and rock experiences a resurgence in 2025, spurred by the passing of Ozzy Osbourne and the return of Oasis, Dean emerges with a sound that is both emotionally raw and musically powerful.

After losing his wife to cancer, Dean stepped away from music for years. But in the wake of that personal tragedy, he picked up his guitar once more and began recording again. The result is a collection of deeply personal rock anthems. Beyond 17 is his second new single release with more to follow, so watch this space.

This new single channels the essence of classic rock with thunderous drums, screeching guitar solos, thick driving riffs, and a vocal performance that shifts from deep and soulful to soaring and anthemic. It’s a track that pulses with emotion, blending heartfelt lyrics with a sinister edge and a long, blazing guitar solo that evokes the spirit of early Black Sabbath.

Beyond 17 is more than just a song. It is an anthem of resilience and a celebration of rock’s enduring spirit. It captures the pain of loss, the drive to carry on, and the power of music to heal. With its anthemic structure and powerful instrumentation, it feels like a classic rock track reborn for a new generation.

Joseph H Dean has confirmed that he has over an album’s worth of original material recorded before his wife’s illness returned. These songs have never been heard before, and he plans to release new tracks every few weeks. Beyond 17 is only the beginning.

Despite his rock influences and guitar heroes, Dean cites Lady Gaga as his favorite artist. He considers himself her biggest fan and is inspired by her fearless expression and artistry. His favorite tracks include “I Don’t Know What Love Is,” “Killah,” “Bad Romance,” and “Born This Way.”

Joseph H Dean’s return to music is more than a comeback. It is a powerful statement from an artist who has turned grief into creation, and who now stands ready to share his journey one song at a time.
