Southern Soul has a hot new breakout contender, and it's rolling straight out of Shreveport, Louisiana. Patrick "Pappy Buzz" Shaw is bringing the heat with "Ready to Ride," a funky, fresh Southern Soul trail ride jam that's guaranteed to get listeners on their feet and headed to the party.

Built on an irresistible groove, Ready to Ride captures everything fans love about today's Southern Soul movement—infectious rhythms, feel-good energy, and a soundtrack made for trail rides, backyard parties, family reunions, and weekend celebrations. From the first beat, this record delivers a vibe that makes everybody ready to party and ready to ride.

Music has always been Pappy Buzz's passion. He began writing and performing at just fourteen years old alongside his younger cousin, Mike Shaw, performing under the name Capital P. With little more than determination and homemade beatboxing, the two chased their dream despite having limited resources.

Following the heartbreaking loss of his cousin in 2018, Pappy Buzz stepped away from music. But encouragement from his son, PJ—whose final words to his father were to keep making music—sparked his return. In 2023, with a fresh musical direction inspired by producer Big B, Pappy Buzz walked into Night Wing Studio, met producer Alex Johnson, and together they created Ready to Ride.

The result is an exciting new Southern Soul anthem that blends authentic storytelling with irresistible funk, proving that passion, perseverance, and purpose can create music that moves people.

If you're looking for the next song to ignite the dance floor and energize every trail ride across the South, Pappy Buzz's "Ready to Ride" deserves a spot at the top of your playlist. Turn it up, gather your friends, and get ready—the ride has officially begun.

The buzz is growing, and radio trendsetters are taking notice!

Tina P's new single, "Treat Me Like a Trailride,” is beginning to generate the kind of early radio momentum that can turn a promising release into the next Southern Soul breakout.

Across key Southern Soul, R&B, Blues, and Urban markets, influential radio programmers and DJs are stepping up as early believers, adding the record to their playlists and putting Tina P in front of audiences that know exactly what makes a song move.

The early station support is impressive, stretching from Atlanta, Macon, Tampa, Charleston, Mississippi, Alabama, and beyond, with additional support continuing to develop.

Among the early radio supporters are V-103 and K-100 in Atlanta; Hindsight Media Radio 103.5; Power 107.1 in Macon; WMNF 88.5 in Tampa; Star 99.7 in Charleston; WGNL 104.3 in Greenwood; WAGR 102.5 in Lexington; WOID and WJMG 92.1 in Hattiesburg; WMPR 90.1 and WBAD 94.3 in Mississippi; WJAB 90.9, WJLD 94.1 and WATV 900 in Birmingham; Mega 4 Radio in Tuscaloosa; WXAL/WZNJ 106.5 in Demopolis; WKXN and Majic 93 in Alabama; WZZA in Tuscumbia; WRNE 93.7 & 980 AM Pensacola, Southern Soul Breakout in Oakland, California and others.

That kind of geographic reach this early in a release campaign is a strong indication that "Treat Me Like a Trailride" is connecting beyond a single market.

THE EARLY BELIEVERS ARE SPEAKING
Radio trendsetters are often the first to recognize a record with potential. Their adds can create the foundation for audience discovery, increased requests, DJ conversation, and ultimately broader radio adoption.

"Treat Me Like a Trailride" arrives with the attitude, personality, rhythm, and Southern Soul appeal designed to make listeners turn up the volume and get involved. And now, the record is beginning to do exactly that.

Tina P is riding the momentum, and the trail is getting bigger.

With radio support expanding and more music influencers discovering the single, “Treat Me Like a Trailride" is positioning Tina P as an artist to watch and a new voice capable of making serious noise across the Southern Soul landscape.

The Dennis Mitchell Band is back with a powerful new single, "No Chasing," a bold, attitude-filled statement from a man who knows exactly who he is, knows his worth, and understands that he has options. This isn't about bitterness; it's about confidence, self-respect, and refusing to waste energy chasing someone who doesn't recognize your value.

The hook says it all: "No Chasing, I'm Replacing." That unforgettable line spotlights a new attitude and gives the track an anthem-quality message that listeners can immediately embrace. It's a declaration of independence wrapped in a groove that demands attention.

And if you know your Southern Soul, you already know there's a conversation that comes to mind: Latimore says, "Let's Straighten It Out." Dennis Mitchell answers with his own brand of straight talk: sometimes the best way to straighten things out is to stop chasing, know your worth, and keep moving forward.

Musically, "No Chasing" is solid from beginning to end. The track carries the emotion that matches the energy Dennis Mitchell so masterfully delivers. His soulful, commanding vocals ride over a groove designed to connect with both the dance floor and the everyday experiences of real people.

There is a moment in every great live performance when the room collectively holds its breath when a single voice cuts through the noise, the groove locks in, and the music stops being something you simply hear and becomes something you feel. That is the energy Dennis Mitchell brings to "No Chasing.”

This is more than another single. It's an attitude. It's a conversation starter. It’s a dance-floor-ready groove. Most importantly, it's a message for anyone who has finally decided to stop chasing and start choosing.

"No Chasing, I'm Replacing."

Dennis Mitchell and the band aren't asking for attention—they're commanding it. "No Chasing" is the new anthem for knowing your worth, moving with confidence, and refusing to settle for less.

There are songs that entertain you, and then there are songs that reach down into the marrow of who you are and rearrange something permanent. "Bet On Me," the blazing new single from Southern Soul icon West Love, is unapologetically the latter.

It arrives not merely as a record but as a declaration, a full-throated, spine-straightening anthem for every woman who has ever dimmed her light to keep a cold house warm, and who finally decided that she was worth saving.

With this release, West Love does something that the music world has long suspected but perhaps never fully witnessed: she reveals the complete, breathtaking scope of her instrument. Everyone already knows that West Love can sing. That has never been in question.

But "Bet On Me" demonstrates something far rarer: her true, outstanding talent as a vocalist, and a creative range that spills across genre lines with the ease of water finding its level.

The song's narrative arc is that of an awakening. West Love gives voice to the exhaustion of being a roommate in your own home, of walking through your own kitchen like a ghost, of watching your spirit bleed while you wait for a partner to finally see you.

"I'm done being a roommate in my own life," she declares, and in that single line she captures an experience so widely shared and so rarely named that it lands like a revelation. She names the emptiness: "We stay together just to say we're not alone / But this empty feeling is all I've ever known," and in naming it, she breaks its spell.
