Empowering new track explores betrayal, self-love, and reclaiming identity

Independent artist, actress, and producer Charley Young releases her soul-baring new single, “A Song About You”, a powerful reflection on love, heartbreak, and ultimately, self-reclamation.

Written as a response to a painful, complicated relationship, “A Song About You” dives deep into the emotional aftermath of betrayal and emotional manipulation. The track is inspired by what Charley initially believed to be a meaningful romantic connection—one ultimately marked by secrecy, half-truths, and gaslighting. After years of emotional confusion and lingering heartache, a chance encounter with the person who hurt her brought an unexpected turning point. He flippantly told her, “You can always write a song about what happened.”

“He trivialized the hurt he caused,” Charley says. “It was typical. He couldn’t see past his own ego. That’s when I realized—he was never really himself with me. He was just mirroring me. The truth is, everything I admired in him were actually qualities I possess.”

With poetic lyrics and a haunting yet empowering tone, “A Song About You” captures the journey from pain to healing, from codependency to self-acceptance. It’s not just a breakup anthem—it’s a reclamation of identity and a declaration of self-love.

Charley Young (BMI/SAG-AFTRA/AEA) is a multifaceted talent—singer, songwriter, actress, writer, producer, and CEO of Charley Girl LLC. She wrote and recorded her debut EP and follow-up singles with Grammy-nominated producer Terence “Delivery Boy” Odige in New York City and continues to collaborate with creatives across Nashville, London, and Paris.

Her music videos for “Run Away” and “Werk” received accolades at international film festivals, including Best Music Video at the Around Films Festival International Awards in Paris and a screening at the Golden State Film Festival at Hollywood’s historic TCL Chinese Theatre.

Charley has charted globally, with “Bizarre Love Triangle” reaching #1 on the iTunes Argentina Pop Chart and “Run Away” landing at #10 on the iTunes Brazil Dance Chart.

Currently splitting time between Montana and Florida, Charley continues to expand her artistic empire while championing authenticity, emotional depth, and resilience.

Hip-Hop Heavyweight Kingdom Kome has just dropped a new single (with accompanying video). “Cracks In the Foundation” (Produced by long-time collaborator RUEN) is a socially conscious dose of jazzy boom-bap. As the emcee states “I was driving through my old neighborhood in Miami and it really had me thinking of the current state of the world today. It got me in an introspective state and I made this message to the youth.”

Available via streaming platforms now, “Cracks In the Foundation” is the first leak from the Barrel Reserve LP fully produced by RUEN.

Less than a year after the last collaborative LP the duo dropped, Malbec 2 Kingdom Kome reveals “we never stop working on music together. A number of these tracks were recorded while we were preparing Malbec 2 but were better suited for a separate project.”

Following the high-end connoisseur angle, Barrel Reserve is expertly crafted boom-bap for the real hip-hop aficionado. This extends to the album’s guest list, which includes Supreme Cerebral, Recognize Ali, Che Uno, DJ Exes, AjaxLo, Camarah Walleed and Soarse Spoken.

Kingdom Kome is still promoting his other recent LP for 2025 Alchemy II Ein Sof, which was entirely produced by another long-time production collaborator Onaje Jordan (Hometeam).
