We Live Through It All is the new single by JCCutter, taken from the full-length album Perspectives. Music creator JCCutter delivers a haunting alt-country ballad shaped by meandering acoustic guitars, sweeping melancholy violins, and a classic cinematic country atmosphere. The vocal performance is powerful and emotive, pulling at the heart from the very first line. Melody and emotion intertwine to create an intense, uplifting country anthem filled with feeling, humanity, and reflective pauses that stir deep emotion in the listener.

The lyrics of We Live Through It All speak with sincerity and resilience. At its core, the song carries a love story with a warm human heart, making it a perfect fit for a dramatic film moment. JCCutter explains that his creative process for the track was shaped by the idea that storms arrive, weeks drag on, and pain grows loud, yet somehow people continue to rise above it. The song closes the album because it represents the quiet promise present in every challenge and hardship: not being alone, not being defeated, and not simply standing tall, but rising because of what has been endured. For anyone needing a song that climbs beside them, this track offers that lift.

JCCutter often shares that music is the language and soul of humanity. It can be seen, heard, and felt, even when it is not consciously noticed. His personal journey mirrors that of many others. He always wanted to write music and share it, but life and responsibility took him around the world. Although those experiences were remarkable, the pull to write never left. He continued creating privately until deciding to step fully into writing, composing, arranging, and editing in the present day. He now invites listeners to enjoy the work, share their thoughts, and pass the music along.

This massive country rock anthem has now been added to the A-List Playlist and will be played every day, including as a special Country Powerplay at 3 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Dave Curl releases his latest single Empty, a dreamy and atmospheric track shaped by worldly slide-guitar textures, melodic whispered vocals reminiscent of Roger Waters, a Sting-like mood, and a soothing melody that relaxes the listener while carrying a subtle Snowy White vibe. Heartfelt, touching, and rooted in real human experience, the song gently pulls you into its world. Empty is now on our A-List Playlist and will be played daily as a special BALLAD POWERPLAY at 5 PM Pacific USA time for the next month.

Swiss singer-songwriter Dave Curl, born with English-Australian roots, has been crafting thoughtful folk-pop-rock since 2015. His music blends introspective lyrics with authentic melodic storytelling, connecting deeply through honesty and emotion. With more than 2 million streams and over 4,000 playlist features, his songs have reached listeners across the globe. He has played more than 300 shows, from intimate solo sets to dynamic duo performances, and continues to refine his expressive, heartfelt sound with each release.

His debut album Introducing (2021) was followed by the EPs Slave To Instinct and Hold Me Close, and in 2024 he released Lockdown – Seven Nations, a collaborative project uniting rap artists from around the world. Recent singles such as Don’t Talk Anymore, Running Wild, Riders, and Red Flag showcase his evolving sonic identity and emotional depth.

Now comes Empty, a hauntingly beautiful and melancholic acoustic rock song about burnout, disconnection, and the longing to escape. It captures the feeling of running endlessly in life’s rat race, chasing goals, losing touch with yourself, and realizing you’ve drifted far from what truly matters. Built around intimate vocals, raw acoustic guitar, and soft atmospheric layers, Empty unfolds with honesty and vulnerability. It serves both as a personal confession and a mirror for anyone who has ever felt drained by the pressure to keep going when there’s nothing left inside.

For fans of reflective and emotion-driven music—think Ben Howard, Damien Rice, or Kurt Vile—Empty blends melancholy and beauty into a sound that lingers long after the final chord fades. The single is set for release on November 13, 2025.

The History of Kirz

Kirz has steadily built a reputation as a versatile artist whose talents, sound, and lyrics bridge the worlds of Afro-pop, Reggae, and Dancehall. With his soulful voice and distinctive delivery, he fuses modern Afrobeat with rich African influences, creating music that reflects both his aspirations and lived experiences.

Born Macdonald Chidozie Okeke into a family of eight, Kirz spent his early years in Imo State, Nigeria, before his family relocated to Lagos in search of greater opportunities. The move exposed him to the energy, resilience, and diversity of city life, instilling in him the humility and drive that would shape his musical journey. Surrounded by a variety of sounds, from movie soundtracks to different genres of music, Kirz honed his craft as a songwriter, backup vocalist, and recording engineer while working in several studios.

His career breakthrough came in 2017 when he won the Docdeff Beat Killer Contest, a milestone that opened doors to performing at concerts and festivals across Lagos. Despite the challenges of one of the world’s most competitive cities, he remained focused on his goal of becoming an internationally recognized Afro/Dancehall artist.

Kirz began collaborating with producers and artists from Jamaica, Haiti, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and the United States. His first major single, Bad Condition, gained traction and built anticipation for future projects. In 2018, he followed with Pray for Me and Far Away, songs that resonated with fans and expanded his global reach.

The year 2019 saw the release of Freedom, produced by Jahboot, known for his work with dancehall icon Popcaan, as well as Party Boy, produced by Blacka Kartel, a producer closely associated with Vybez Kartel. Kirz also created a Dancehall version of Beyoncé’s Brown Skin Girl, further showcasing his adaptability and cross-genre appeal.

More recently, his single Gold Digger, released under Manatee Records, has marked another turning point. Manatee Records, established in the early 1990s with offices in Chicago, Kingston, and London, has been instrumental in launching new talent. With a presence spanning Jamaica, the United States, Belize, London, Paris, and across Africa, the label continues to support Kirz as he pushes his music to international audiences.

Currently, Kirz is preparing an upcoming EP dedicated to his fans while continuing to release projects that connect West Africa with listeners around the world. His songs carry the energy of Lagos, the soul of African music, and the rhythm of global influences, making him an artist determined to set records and leave a lasting legacy.
