WE WANT ANU GROOVE!
Up and Coming artist, ANU has a new single out! This Brooklyn raised songstress is leading the charge of individuality in black music. ANU is a singer and songwriter from NYC; whose words and choice of music to accompany her are impeccable. Her music is R&B, yet has an island vibe as well. “I’m Coming Out” is her latest release of three others this year. I’d also recommend checking out her songs, “Abyss” and my personal favorite, “As We Dance“.
When asked to describe her inspiration behind her new song, she had this to say….
“I’m Coming Out” was inspired by the message and title of its namesake song by my idol and iconic muse Diana Ross. Her song “I’m Coming Out” impacted me because of its message and I wanted to have the same influence. I wanted to create a song that reflected my personal story of feeling like I wasn’t allowed to shine and be authentically me by my family and the relationships I had been in at the time. At the same time making it known this is no longer a state of being I’m choosing to maintain, “I’m Coming Out”, like it or not.“
“The audience I hope to impact is anyone who’s ever felt not seen, not heard, and not allowed to shine because of other people’s limited beliefs and fears. It’s an anthem of self-acceptance, self-love, and empowerment. Putting people on notice, you can either accept me for who I am or move along.”
“I wrote the lyrics, originally to a melody that reminded me of one of CeCe Peniston’s songs. As part of my writing process, I will often go and look for beats that match what’s in my head. I was perusing beats and found this amazing beat by producer Omar Zulfi. The rest is history. The final mix was produced by Dolla Beatknocka Griffin from Beatknocka Studios in Brooklyn, NYC.“

Dallas-based rock band Overstreet Knox today released their debut single, “Breathe,” a heartbreaking, guitar-driven track about longing for a person no longer in your life. Stream it on all digital platforms here: found.ee/breathe-ok.
The band shares, “‘Breathe’ speaks to all no matter your background. With emotional choruses and guitar-driven melodies, this song encapsulates the yearning nature of loss. You always want what you can’t have, so just breathe again.” They add, “This was one of the first songs we ever wrote. It details longing for a person no longer in your life. Whether that be romantic or platonic, the consuming desire for this person to just ‘breathe your name again’ is simple but will seemingly fix it all.”
“Breathe” is the first taste of more new music to come for the group, comprised of Griffin Vail (vocals), Jack Lambeth (drums), Jack Poncy (guitar), and Luke Hill (bass).
The band will play a special hometown Halloween show at Sundown at Granada in Dallas on October 30 — their first show with original music out in the world. Their most recent show at the venue sold out, and they now hold the all-time attendance record there. Tickets for their Halloween return are on sale now.
Upcoming Live Dates:
10/30 – Dallas, TX @ Sundown at Granada
About Overstreet Knox:
Overstreet Knox (OSK) is Dallas’ new-age rock band, on a mission to put the live back in live music — the kind of night where you don’t want to miss a second.
Blending classic rock influence with modern energy, their sound is one-of-a-kind, forged by members from Alabama, Florida, DC, and Texas into something you won’t hear anywhere else. That cross-country mix shows up in every set: dancy grooves that get feet moving, hard-hitting riffs that will be stuck in your head, and sing-along melodies that turn strangers into a crowd.
OSK doesn’t just play music, they create an environment. From the first note, every set is audience-forward, built so each person in the room finds their moment. Whether that’s dancing up front or singing along to every word, your experience will be unforgettable.
