Leaning with ease towards the nostalgic smooth vibes of artists like Verb T, Get High offers an anthem for easy living, laid-back good times and relaxing into the day.

New Jersey’s Vae Day flies high on the strength of fast bars and cleverly crafted ideas with this single.
Balancing a fine ear for tuneful progressions, an accessible & easy going, romantic story-line, and a beat that leans back & forth between acoustic world vibes, dance-hall, and classic pop, Mira is an addictive new hit that’s as seductive as it is energizing & catchy.
