Launchpad: Madeleine Rosenthal
Fire debut alert! I love being introduced to an artist with seemingly boundless potential.

Meghann Clancy – In Time
“‘In Time’ is a nostalgic reminiscence of the innocence and joy of young love, and how this can change when problems and difficulties arise.

On The Record: Drinker
This is your second single now, how do you feel the response has been so far? Aaron: Great, actually. This music is something completely new for both of us and I really didn’t know what to expect. It’s been great to see Spotify get behind it with placements on New Indie Mix, and New Music…
