Unstoppable is an alt-pop rallying cry about getting through a toxic relationship. I wrote it to express that no matter how hell-ish somebody can make you feel, you hold the strength within yourself to be powerful. The best version of yourself.

Oshun is the orisha (deity) of 'sweet water,' which includes all rivers, lakes, and streams, in the Yoruba cosmology of West Africa and the diaspora. Joy, love, beauty, magic and riches are all her domain. She is also a fearsome warrior. We give thanks to her for all the sweet things and bounty in life, and also call upon her for help in matters of love or money. This praise song for her was born on the shores of her waters and is a gift both from and for her.

Artist said about this song:

"This song is about the drive I've had to pursue music more seriously and the journey I'm on, and now that I have some momentum I feel like "I'm on fire". There is a woman in my life that inspired most of the songs on the album and that relationship sort of sparked a lot of creative output so that is what the first verse is speaking to. I've previously had ambitions but had cold water thrown on them and never really fought for them or took the risk."

When summer has just started, more people think about “quitting” – their jobs or bad habits – and getting some new experiences, trying something they haven’t tried before. This is at the heart of Juliet Lyons and Chris Wirsig’s Hyperpop song “Quitting Time.” Don’t look back, move forward, get a new lease on life.

With its bouncy beats, the mix of Western and Indian percussion, and creative use of synthesizers and old homecomputer sounds, “Quitting Time” will animate you to let go and dance your worries away. All carried by Juliet Lyons’ shiny, strong vocals: “Quitting Time is our first collaboration, and while Chris generally has a rather dark aesthetic, when I heard the huge and unexpected lift in the chorus, I knew we had to lean into it. I focused on creating a celebratory top line with lighter lyrics - not blinding you with sunshine, but certainly allowing some rays in,” says Juliet about writing and recording the song.

Chris adds: “When I first heard Juliet’s vocal ideas, I immediately loved the positive vibe she brings to it. It starts from a more brooding place, but lifts with the chorus, and I love it when songs have some twists and turns.”

“Quitting Time” is available on all streaming & downloading platforms from June 24,2022.

“Maybe there are forces in this universe we don't understand. But I still believe we make our own miracles.”

Growing up in Korea, Canada, and the United States, James An is a rapper who writes lyrics in both Korean and English about topics ranging from racism and societal norms to daily life and conversation. James’ introduction to rap started when he received the CDs of rappers like Drunken Tiger and Dynamic Duo, Korean rappers who successfully confronted stereotypes about hip hop in Korea in the early 2000’s. As a teenager, James frequently immersed himself in the work of artists who he could see as role models, people who shared backgrounds, experiences, or point of views that James found relatable. This inspired him to start penning his own songs in college, fostering community through rap with student groups and outreach programs in the communities he lived. After studying for his masters degree in Arts in Education at Harvard, he tightened his focus on telling authentic stories of himself and his peers’ lived experiences through rap, acknowledging aspects of privilege as well as racism, the weight of expectations, and at times turning a critical lens on societal norms. Currently, James continues to write and rap in Korea, and will be releasing an upcoming double single on June 28. He is also preparing to enter another season of the wildly popular Korean rap competition show “Show Me the Money” for its 11th season this fall. With diverse influences, experiences, and identities all represented in James’ music, he is above all a rapper who tells his own stories, never afraid to veer away from any topic as he makes sense of his world through rap.
