Known for his infectious melodies and versatile sound, Addy Mirage is stepping into 2025 with a statement record, following his impressive collaborations with industry talents like Beeztrap KOTM, AMG Armani, and more.
“DIVA” is a high-energy anthem celebrating confidence, self-worth, and independence. The track blends Afrobeats with pop and hip-hop elements, delivering a sound that feels both fresh and globally appealing. With Addy Mirage’s smooth delivery and Starflexx Armani’s dynamic flow, the song is crafted to resonate with music lovers across different audiences.
Coming off collaborations with some of the most exciting names in the industry, Addy Mirage is showing no signs of slowing down. His ability to merge African rhythms with international influences has positioned him as a standout talent among the new wave of Ghanaian artists making an impact beyond borders.
Speaking about the release, Addy Mirage shared, “This song is all about energy and self-assurance. It’s for the go-getters, the people who walk into a room and own it. Starflexx and I had a great time creating this, and I know fans will feel that energy too.”
With its infectious hook, polished production, and undeniable replay value, “DIVA” is set to become a favorite on streaming platforms and radio stations. The track marks a bold new chapter in Addy Mirage’s journey, signaling more exciting music and collaborations to come.
As fans anticipate more from him this year, “DIVA” serves as the perfect start—energetic, confident, and unapologetically bold.
In “You Never Do Shit,” Brooklyn’s Dead Tooth deliver a snarling, urgent post-punk single that distills their barbed energy into under four minutes of sharp-tongued wit and scuffed-up sonics. It’s a track that bristles with disdain—Zach Ellis’ vocal delivery is acidic, at times theatrical, and often more spoken than sung. There’s a punk rock immediacy here, but with the knowing wink of someone who’s watched the scene curdle and still wants to dance through the ashes.
The song began its life in a different medium—written for a fictional band on City on Fire—but the real-life iteration carries more weight. There’s a palpable satisfaction in Ellis’ decision to reclaim it, and that freedom seeps into every detail: the unkempt rhythm section, the jarring saxophone lines from John Stanesco, and the deliberate looseness that characterizes its structure.
Dead Tooth are at once participants and commentators in the culture they inhabit. Their songs are alive with noise, but also with intent—tracking the psychic hangover of nightlife, subcultural collapse, and underground scenes that burn bright and disappear too soon. Ellis’ lyrical observations land like tossed-off critiques, but underneath the smirk is something deeper, almost desperate: a desire for connection, even through chaos.
With their debut album looming, “You Never Do Shit” feels like a thesis statement. Not just of sound, but of ethos: reject slickness, embrace noise, tell the truth—even if it’s ugly. In a year when punk has mostly whispered or wandered, Dead Tooth has chosen to scream.
