‘Michele Thomas’ album, “The Assumption” asks the question: “What is trust?” And my latest single release is one of many tracks that explores the answer. “Love Dance” is an Ivan Lins classic arranged by producer and drummer, Darren Scorza – this track is offered up with a celebratory vibrance set in a swung 6/8 cadence as the vocals grow from a tender to joyous romp by the track’s glorious vamp at the end. She love these lyrics which remind us of the dance between intimacy, risk and trust. Discover that the 3rd March in Formula Indie

‘Brian Ross’, Is an indie artist from Huntington, and the fact that he have even released music is genuinely insane. He used to have really unhealthy ways of coping with my anxiety, but since he started writing music, he found that connecting to others who are going through the same growing pains can help way more than he thought it could.

While creating this single, ‘Orca’ went with a simple approach and tried to answer the most obvious question that we ask ourselves oncewe meet someone who’s maybe out of our league or we’re interested in making the first move on. But before we do any of that, weask (AM I GOOD FOR YOU). It’s a question that carries a lot of weight if you think about it. Then he decided to tell a simple story thatfocuses on love, romance, and the importance of asking this question and what you can do to make the first move; this song also contains fresh ideas that he wanted to try out something that’ll make this single stand out among its peers. When it comes to the artwork, he went with a different approach. This time the artwork is a storyteller; every detail hints towards something related to thesong, from the colors to the heart waves drawn on the top and the bottom of the design, he don’t want to spoil this. It would help if you listened to understand what the artwork is hiding. Enjoy ‘Good 4 you’ the 4th March in Formula Indie
