Kenjah Drops ‘When I’m With You’
Some songs are made for a particular moment and “When I’m With You” feels like it belongs somewhere between golden-hour sunsets, warm nights and a dancefloor that doesn’t want the evening to end.
For Kenjah, the Brooklyn-born artist and actress, that feeling comes naturally. Raised by Jamaican parents, she brings her Caribbean roots into a sound that moves effortlessly between reggae, Afrobeats, R&B and pop, creating something that feels both familiar and fresh.
The track has plenty of bounce, but there’s a romantic confidence running underneath it. Smooth vocals, island-inspired rhythms and flashes of electric guitar give “When I’m With You” its easygoing energy, while the chorus lands with the kind of warmth that makes you want to sing along.
And while the song might sound carefree, its message is quietly defiant: when the connection is real, outside opinions don’t get to decide its value.
That combination of romance, rhythm and self-assurance suits Kenjah perfectly. Already known to audiences through her work on Beyond the Gates, she’s increasingly building a creative identity that stretches between music and acting, with each side informing the other.
There’s also a visual world waiting to accompany the track, with a cinematic music video on the way. But for now, “When I’m With You” does exactly what a great summer release should do; it makes you want to turn the volume up, move a little closer and forget what everyone else thinks.
Press play and let Kenjah set the mood.

Host Bodies’ track ‘On A Roll’ Gets a Psychedelic Reinvention from Soul Glitch
Ten years after Host Bodies first released the album Daily Apparatus, “On A Roll” has found a completely new groove.
For the Daily Apparatus: 10 Year Remixes project, multi-instrumentalist and producer Nicholas Hasty, under his Soul Glitch moniker, takes the original electronic-rock track and pulls it into deeper, more psychedelic territory.
The remix keeps the energy of Host Bodies intact while opening up the track with new beats, electronic textures and expressive saxophone solos. Electric guitar, bass and layered production give it a rich, genre-blurring sound that sits somewhere between indie electronic, jazztronica, soultronica and alternative dance.
There’s something particularly satisfying about hearing a decade-old track treated not as a relic, but as raw material. Soul Glitch reshapes “On A Roll” , finding new spaces within the original and bringing his own musical language into the mix.
The result is energetic, sensual, psychedelic and unapologetically expansive.
Ten years on, “On A Roll” proves that sometimes the best way to celebrate where a song came from is to find somewhere completely new for it to go.
