TG_angel Turns Digital Frustration Into Pop Inspiration With New Single “MacOS!”

TG_angel Turns Digital Frustration Into Pop Inspiration With New Single “MacOS!”

The UK artist brings technology nostalgia and interpersonal tension into their world of hyperpop, electronic music and “Cyber Angel” imagery.

UNITED KINGDOM: Hyperpop and electronic pop artist TG_angel has released “MacOS!”, a new single inspired by the unexpected connection between struggling with technology and becoming frustrated with another person. Released October 4th, the track introduces listeners to an artist whose creative universe brings together cyber aesthetics, religious imagery and LGBTQ+ identity.

The inspiration for “MacOS!” began with an attempt to recreate an older computer experience. While trying to emulate an old version of Mac OS on their everyday Windows computer, TG_angel encountered confusing downloads and mounting frustration. Their eventual solution was to purchase an old MacBook on Vinted, but the experience also sparked an idea for a song.

“The idea for MacOS! came from when I was trying to emulate an old version of Mac OS on my main Windows computer that I use for everything,” TG_angel explains. “I found it really frustrating, and I didn’t know how any of the downloads worked, so I just gave up and bought an actual old MacBook on Vinted, and I thought it’d be really interesting to use that idea of getting frustrated with downloading something and combine that with being frustrated with a person.”

That connection gives “MacOS!” a relatable starting point: the moment when something, or someone, refuses to work the way you hoped. By drawing a parallel between digital obstacles and personal friction, TG_angel turns an everyday annoyance into a playful creative premise that fits naturally within their technology-inspired world.

Pronounced “TG Underscore Angel,” TG_angel blends experimental electronic production with bouncy, high-energy pop. Their broader artistic approach moves between the cute, the futuristic and the unsettling, drawing on synth-driven sounds and the nostalgia of 2010s-era technology.

At the center of the project is the “Cyber Angel,” a character and evolving fictional universe shaped by digital culture, heavenly imagery, identity and spirituality. Music, fashion and visual art each contribute to that universe, with glowing interfaces, synthetic textures and angelic imagery forming its visual language.

“MacOS!” offers a new entry point into that world, pairing a distinctly personal origin story with TG_angel’s imaginative approach to pop. An accompanying music video adds another dimension to the release.

17th Edition Opens with Ballard C. Boyd’s New York-Shot JACKRABBIT and Features Films Starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Juliette Lewis, Harvey Keitel, F. Murray Abraham, DJ Qualls, Margaret Cho, Mickey Rourke, Ice-T and the Late Peter Greene.

Festival Partners with NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment for “Made in NY” Filmmaker Listening Tour and New York Women in Film & Television for Special Member Screening Series

NEW YORK, NY — The SOHO International Film Festival (SIFFNYC) today announced highlights from its 17th edition, taking place October 7–13, 2026, with a wide-ranging program featuring more than 100 premieres, including 35 World Premieres, alongside special presentations, filmmaker conversations and industry programming that bring together established talent and emerging voices from New York and around the world.

This year’s festival places New York City at the center of the conversation, pairing a global film program with a major collaboration with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) and a special screening series presented with New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT).

The festival will open with the U.S. feature JACKRABBIT, the new mystery-comedy-thriller from Emmy and Peabody Award winner Ballard C. Boyd, a longtime producer and director for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Shot on location in New York City, the film stars Kuhoo Verma, Taylor Ortega, Saamer Usmani, Soojeong Son and Mark Gessner and follows an investigative journalist and struggling actress forced to work together after their mutual best friend mysteriously disappears.

Boyd and members of the JACKRABBIT team are confirmed to attend Opening Night.

“With more than 100 premieres and filmmakers joining us from across the world, this year’s festival reflects exactly what makes New York such an extraordinary place for independent film,” said Sibyl Reymundo-Santiago, Executive Director and Head of Programming of the SOHO International Film Festival. 

Star-Powered Special Presentations

Among the festival’s major special presentations is GANGLAND, director Vincent Grashaw’s crime drama starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Nick Stahl, Dana Namerode, Irene Bedard and Elisha Pratt. Phillips, who also serves as an executive producer on the film, is confirmed to attend the festival and participate in a post-screening conversation.

SIFFNYC will also present 3 DAYS RISING, a psychological drama, suspense and horror reimagining of Edgar Allan Poe’s The Fall of the House of Usher. The film features the final leading performance of Peter Greene, who stars as Eric Usher and also served as a producer. The ensemble includes Mickey Rourke, Ice-T, Frank Whaley, Paul Ben-Victor, Bo Dietl, Vincent Young, Kelly Monrow, Fredro Starr and Sticky Fingaz.

The screening offers audiences an opportunity to see one of Greene’s final works following the actor’s death in 2025, with his performance anchoring filmmaker Craig Cukrowski’s dark reinterpretation of Poe’s classic.

JESUS LAND, adapted from Julia Scheeres’ bestselling memoir, brings Juliette Lewis to the festival program in writer-director Saila Kariat’s feature adaptation. Starring Ella Anderson, Xavier Jones and Lewis, the film follows a white teenage sister and her adopted Black brother as their bond is tested by racism, religious fundamentalism and an abusive reform school. Kariat, who grew up across India, Canada and the United States, has cited her own experience navigating cultures and belonging as an influence on her filmmaking.

Director Louis Nero’s MILAREPA brings together Academy Award nominee Harvey Keitel and Academy Award winner F. Murray Abraham in a visually ambitious post-apocalyptic coming-of-age story. Set in a world in which nature has overtaken technology, the film follows a young girl who, after losing her father, embarks on a journey into the magic arts that forces her to confront revenge and its consequences.

Also featured is writer-director Andrew Zappin’s THE KING OF BLACK GOO, starring DJ Qualls alongside Kathleen Wilhoite, Harriet Sansom Harris, Margaret Cho, Michael McShane and Matt Malloy. The darkly comic feature centers on a bitter, isolated man who undergoes a personality-altering medical procedure in the hope of becoming worthy of love.

New York City Takes Center Stage

Beyond the screen, the 2026 festival will create a direct conversation between New York’s independent filmmaking community and the city officials helping shape the future of film and television production across the five boroughs.

SIFFNYC is partnering with the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment to host a session of the “Made in NY” Filmmaker Listening Tour, an initiative led by NYC Film Commissioner Rafael Espinal and Deputy Commissioner for the Film Office Kwame Amoaku.

Espinal and Amoaku will join filmmakers for a conversation designed to give members of New York’s independent film community an opportunity to share feedback and engage directly with the city on issues affecting production in New York.

“Film and television production is back in New York City, but a strong industry also means making sure all filmmakers can afford to create and build their careers here,” said Commissioner Rafael Espinal of the NYC Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME). “That’s why we launched the ‘Made in NY’ Filmmaker Listening Tour. To hear directly from filmmakers about the barriers they face and what they need from the City. Our second stop, at the SOHO International Film Festival, will help inform how we approach production incentives, permitting, and City resources so New York remains a place where film can thrive.”

The collaboration reinforces SIFFNYC’s longstanding connection to the city and its independent creative community at a time when conversations surrounding production, resources and the future of filmmaking in New York have taken on increased importance.

SIFFNYC continues its partnership with the New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT) for a Member Screening Series, presenting a selection of short films that showcase NYWIFT members working in key creative roles and highlighting women shaping independent film both in front of and behind the camera.

An International Festival In The Heart Of New York

The 2026 program extends well beyond the United States, bringing filmmakers and stories from across the globe to New York.

From South Korea comes KARLOVY VARY, a comedy-drama about the chaos of trying to make an independent movie, following a rookie filmmaker navigating the collision between artistic ambition and commercial reality. The film features Lee Je-yeon, Oh Ji-ho and Shin Ji-won, the singer and actress formerly known as Johyun of the K-pop group Berry Good. The film’s director is scheduled to travel from Korea to New York for the festival.

Japanese filmmaker Toshio Sekine’s SHAMBHALA STORY travels from Tibetan Buddhism to Japan for a story of spirituality, duty and forbidden love. Filmed over a multi-year journey spanning three countries, the drama stars Morning Tzu-Yi Mo as a Tibetan monk sent to Japan to continue his studies and internationally recognized martial-arts actress Rina Takeda as a woman whose relationship with him forces an impossible choice between human connection and religious devotion. Sekine is scheduled to attend the festival.

France is represented by filmmaker Emilie Tommasi’s THE GLIWENSBOURG CHRONICLES, an ambitious World War I-era time-travel fantasy blending supernatural mystery with the iconography of a Western. Starring Arnaud Thery, Myriam Caucheteux, Romain Pirosa, Laurent Brebion and Adil Jbilou, the series World Premieres in New York following recognition on the international festival circuit for categories including directing, acting, production design, costume design and cinematography.

Across seven days, SIFFNYC’s 2026 edition will showcase established performers alongside emerging filmmakers, international discoveries and New York storytellers, continuing the festival’s mission of bringing independent cinema from around the world to audiences in the city.

Brooke Moriber’s “Nashville in New York” Returns to The Bitter End on October 10th

Brooke Moriber’s “Nashville in New York” Returns to The Bitter End on October 10th

New York, NY – Brooke Moriber’s acclaimed Nashville in New York series returns to the legendary Bitter End on Saturday, October 10th, 2026, bringing singer-songwriters Reed Waddle, Jake Hoot, Ian Flanigan, and host artist and founder Brooke Moriber together for an intimate evening of music and storytelling.

Taking place from 7:00–9:00 PM at 147 Bleecker Street, NYC, the show brings the heart of Nashville songwriting to downtown Manhattan. In the Bitter End’s close-knit setting, audiences can hear the songs and the stories behind them straight from the artists who wrote them. Moriber performs and curates each evening, inviting fellow songwriters to share the stage and the moments that inspired their music.

Doors open at 6:00 PM. 

Tickets are $20 and available here!

Listen to Brooke’s new single and watch the official Music Video for “Road and the Radio” here!

Previous Nashville in New York shows have featured Jeff Cohen, Sinéad Burgess, Imogen Clark, Little Anthony of The Imperials, Kara DioGuardi, Ian Flanigan, Toby Lightman, Terre Roche, Shane Stevens, Jon Stone, and members of the 615 Collective, among many others. The series has become a bridge between Nashville’s songwriting community and New York’s storied live music scene.

Reed Waddle is a soulful singer-songwriter whose work draws on the places and people he has encountered from New York to Nashville. A winner of the Telluride Troubadour Contest and New York Songwriters Circle Competition, Waddle brings a deeply personal approach to every performance.

Jake Hoot is the Season 17 winner of NBC’s The Voice. Known for his rich vocals and country storytelling, he has performed on stages including the Grand Ole Opry and the Ryman Auditorium.

Ian Flanigan is a country and Americana singer-songwriter known for his unmistakable raspy baritone. A third-place finalist on The Voice as part of Team Blake, Flanigan has spent more than a decade on the road and collaborated with Blake Shelton on the single “Grow Up.”

Brooke Moriber is a New York native turned Nashville recording artist and the creator and host of Nashville in New York. With her powerful vocals and honest songwriting, Moriber has built the series around the connection that happens when artists share both their music and the stories behind it.

Brooke Moriber is a singer/songwriter and native New Yorker who has paved an unconventional path for herself in Country music. After getting her start at a young age professionally performing on Broadway, Brooke turned to songwriting as a teenager to cope with losing her eyesight to a rare eye disease. When the disease went into remission after a difficult four years, Brooke began traveling to Nashville to tell her own stories. Praised for her “clarion voice” (Associated Press), she went on to release her first single “Cry Like A Girl” independently and later signed with Nashville’s Reviver Records.

Brooke recently connected with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Little Anthony for a stirring duet rendition of the beloved classic “Hurt So Bad”, celebrating the 60th anniversary of the timeless track (a Top 10 hit for Little Anthony & The Imperials in 1965). Watch the video here. Produced by Fred Mollin – the veteran producer behind acclaimed recordings for Johnny Mathis, Kris Kristofferson, Billy Ray Cyrus, Natalie Cole, and many more. 

Brooke’s music has been featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday Country (Half A Heart, Little Bit Of You, Down to Nothing) and Country Christmas playlists (All I Want for Christmas is You), Sirius XM’s Velvet, CMT online, Music Choice Network and the Music Row Country Breakout radio chart. Hailed as a “stellar songwriter and a powerhouse vocalist” (Country Swag) and a “force to be reckoned with in Country music” (Celeb Secrets Country), Brooke has shared the stage with artists ranging from The Castellows, Scotty McCreery, Cyndi Lauper and The Gin Blossoms to Dylan Scott and Caroline Jones.

When she is not bringing Nashville to New York or Denver or performing somewhere else on the road, Moriber is hard at work in the studio with some of the industry’s top writers and producers, including Todd Lombardo and Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves), Karen Kosowski (Mickey Guyton), David Pittenger (GAYLE, Parmalee) and Sol Philcox Littlefield.

Vicious Kitty Chase a Fresh Start on Rock Single “Bangkok City,” Available Now

Vicious Kitty Chase a Fresh Start on Rock Single “Bangkok City,” Available Now

The Seattle band turns heartbreak and everyday frustration into a spirited invitation to escape.

SEATTLE, WA: Seattle rock band Vicious Kitty invite listeners to leave their troubles behind with “Bangkok City,” a single featured on their self-titled debut album. Bringing together the band’s blend of rock, grunge and pop, the song explores the hope that somewhere beyond familiar surroundings, a better life might be waiting.

At the heart of “Bangkok City” is a character whose life has come apart. Thrown out by his girlfriend, carrying his belongings in garbage bags and wearing boots with holes in the soles, he begins imagining a destination where he can shake off his blues and start again. Bangkok becomes the promise of possibility, a place far removed from the disappointments he knows.

The premise taps into a familiar feeling: wanting to be somewhere else when daily life stops resembling the life you hoped for. By pairing that frustration with the dream of escape, Vicious Kitty give the story both humor and an emotional center. Beneath the invitation to adventure lies a relatable desire to regain control and find something worth looking forward to.

Vicious Kitty’s approach brings that story into a musical world built around rock energy and pop accessibility. The band describes its sound as an edgy mix of rock, grunge and pop, shaped by years of performing throughout Seattle and along the West Coast. That experience also informs its emphasis on engaging, energetic live shows.

The trio features founder, guitarist and songwriter Matt Tantrum, drummer Chris “Stixx” Gartland, and bassist Tony Terlicker. Together, they bring decades of live and studio experience to a project centered on original music, personality and a shared love of rock.

“Bangkok City” is available now. Fans can listen on Apple Music, watch the Official Music Video, and visit viciouskitty.band for music, band information and upcoming performances.

ANDIE CASE TURNS UP THE HEAT ON NEW SINGLE “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL”

ANDIE CASE TURNS UP THE HEAT ON NEW SINGLE “SPEAK OF THE DEVIL”

The powerhouse singer-songwriter continues a deeply personal new chapter with the latest track from her newly released EP Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine

image.jpeg
Listen Here

Singer-songwriter Andie Case continues to step confidently into the spotlight as an original artist with “Speak of the Devil,” a sharp, emotionally charged new track that captures the tension, temptation and vulnerability that have become hallmarks of her latest body of work.

Clocking in at just over three minutes, “Speak of the Devil” wastes little time making its presence felt. Case has always possessed the kind of voice capable of turning heads, but here the appeal goes beyond vocal firepower. There is personality in the performance, an immediacy that makes the song feel less like something being performed at the listener and more like being pulled into the middle of a complicated conversation.

That sense of emotional proximity is particularly fitting for this stage of Case’s career.

Long before this latest chapter, Andie Case built a massive international following through the internet, becoming one of the standout voices of the YouTube cover era. Her channel grew to more than 1.4 million subscribers, with her videos generating hundreds of millions of views. Along the way, she reached the iTunes Top 100, earned MTV recognition for her cover work, toured internationally and won the $1 million grand prize in Usher’s Megastar competition.

Her road to those milestones was far from conventional. Case left home at 18 to pursue music in Los Angeles and endured periods of significant hardship, including living out of her car while trying to establish herself as an artist. Those experiences helped shape the resilience, independence and emotional candor that continue to run through her songwriting.

After years of introducing herself to millions of listeners through her interpretations of other artists’ songs, Case’s recent releases have increasingly shifted the emphasis toward something much more personal: her own story, in her own words.

That evolution came into particularly clear focus this summer with “Better Days,” the first single introducing her new EP project. Released in July, the song offered a hopeful meditation on perseverance, healing and believing there is something brighter beyond difficult stretches of life. Rather than ignoring hardship in favor of easy optimism, “Better Days” acknowledged the struggle first, making its eventual sense of hope feel earned.

Case followed in August with “Loser,” a song that pushed the vulnerability even further. Built around feelings of failure, insecurity and the pressure of measuring your life against expectations, “Loser” turns a potentially defeating label into something unexpectedly defiant. Instead of pretending uncertainty doesn’t exist, Case embraces it, delivering a reminder that falling short and figuring things out are often inseparable parts of moving forward.

Together, “Better Days” and “Loser” established the emotional vocabulary of Case’s new era: bruised but hopeful, self-aware without becoming self-pitying, and increasingly comfortable with letting listeners see behind the curtain.

“Speak of the Devil” feels like another side of that same conversation.

Where the previous singles wrestled with perseverance and self-worth, the new track brings a different energy into the room. There is an edge to it, with Case leaning into the push-and-pull of desire, consequence and emotional entanglement. Her vocal remains the centerpiece, but the real strength is how naturally she inhabits the song. It feels lived-in rather than merely sung.

That distinction matters for an artist whose voice first became famous interpreting other people’s material.

With these songs, Case isn’t simply proving that she can sing. That question was answered years ago. She is showing listeners who Andie Case is when the material belongs entirely to her world.

SHOW ME YOURS, I’LL SHOW YOU MINE OUT NOW

“Speak of the Devil” arrives as part of Case’s six-song EP, Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine, released September 18, 2026.

The project brings together:

“SMYISYM”
“Speak of the Devil”
“Do Your Worst”
“Better Days”
“Loser”
“Judge Me”

Across its six tracks, the EP explores heartbreak, identity, healing, resilience and self-discovery while placing Case’s songwriting and personal experiences firmly at the center.

Originally announced during the summer for a September release, Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine is now available in full, completing the rollout that began with “Better Days,” continued through “Loser,” and now gives listeners the larger context surrounding “Speak of the Devil.”

The title itself feels appropriate. After building a career by standing in front of a camera and sharing her voice with millions of people, Case is offering something considerably more revealing this time around.

Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine isn’t simply an introduction to a collection of songs. It feels like an invitation into the experiences behind them.

And with “Speak of the Devil,” Andie Case makes that invitation particularly difficult to turn down.

“Speak of the Devil” and “Show Me Yours, I’ll Show You Mine” are available now on major streaming platforms.

LAS VEGAS, NV — Conscious hip-hop artist Deepwise confronts the people and circumstances that hold us back on his new single, “Keep on Dragging Me Down,” arriving September 18th, 2026, on all major streaming platforms.

Drawn from Deepwise’s own life, the song explores the difficult experience of trying to help others while facing resistance from people who would rather pull you down than watch you grow. Inspired by the “crabs-in-a-bucket” mentality and the pain of betrayal from within one’s own community, Deepwise turns a deeply personal struggle into something universal.

“‘Keep on Dragging Me Down’ is about how sometimes you try to help everyone, but people still try to pull you down and how I’ve navigated that in my own life,” says Deepwise. “As always, I tried to find an angle that would make the song relatable to anyone who has felt held back.” The song ultimately rejects bitterness in favor of growth, healthy boundaries and freedom.

Musically, “Keep on Dragging Me Down” was shaped by Deepwise’s longtime interest in chill and cloud phonk. After years of listening to artists and tastemakers including Ryan Celsius, Soudiere, DJ Yung Vamp and DJ Smokey, he set out to create something with a similarly hazy, atmospheric energy. As the record developed, however, it took on an identity of its own.

The resulting track pairs an immersive, laid-back atmosphere with jazz-inflected instrumentation and candid lyricism. Its blend of reflective storytelling and forward-looking production captures Deepwise’s genre-fluid approach while reinforcing the song’s central message: sometimes moving forward means releasing whatever keeps pulling you backward.

Deepwise handled every aspect of the finished song’s creative direction, including the songwriting, lyrics, instrumental, production, piano and guitar performances. The demos were recorded by Well KraftedMusic. “Keep on Dragging Me Down” was mixed by Kyle Oueis at Hideout Studio in Las Vegas and mastered by two-time Platinum engineer Nate Middleman. 

SINGLE-RELEASE SHOW

Deepwise will celebrate the release of “Keep on Dragging Me Down” with a live performance on September 19th, 2026, the day after the single arrives.
