Independent artist and songwriter Tracygirl announces her new album, California in Ink, arriving September 25, 2026 on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music and SoundCloud. The six-track record opens with “Inglewood/Compton Flavor” and closes on “Bel Air Dreams,” moving through “Driving Down Sunset,” “Waves Wash Worries Away,” “Urban Shopping Home” and “Endless Blue Promises” in between. It’s a love letter to the state written from ground level, neighborhoods, coastlines, long drives and the small joys that make a place feel like yours. California in Ink continues the sound Tracygirl has built her name on, soulful vocals, a country two-step pulse and grooves that make you want to move in your own kitchen.

JD Rotate Explores Love, Life and Ambition on ‘All These Voices’
The incredible new album ‘All These Voices’ from JD Rotate is a collection of songs exploring the ideas, people, books, mistakes, relationships, ambitions and little moments that shape who we become. Many of the songs began with things JD Rotate had been carrying around for years — thoughts about risk, gratitude, love, parenthood, work, time, and trying to figure out which voices in his head are actually his own. Creating the album became a way for him to turn some of those thoughts and experiences into music — a little poetry in his truth. Sonically, ‘All These Voices’ moves through electronic, indie-dance and more intimate downtempo moments, while maintaining a common thread throughout: the importance of paying attention while life is happening. JD Rotate is a New York-based producer and songwriter creating electronic music about the lives people build, the people who shape them, and the strange distance between who we are and who we are becoming. Outside of music, JD Rotate is a founder, tech CEO and father — experiences that provide plenty of inspiration for his music. Listen to ‘All These Voices’ by JD Rotate on Spotify
