In today’s deluxe tracks, GROUPLOVE sinks deeper into the absolution that comes with shaking off the expectation of perfection — as musicians, as partners, as parents. A band that transcends their ever-shapeshifting genre, GROUPLOVE too has evolved over the last decade, channeling their ecstatic energy into the deepest tensions of the human psyche, all while playing with the contradictions and complications of existing — Stream I Want It All Right Now Deluxe. The standout track, “Can You Feel My Love,” takes a more mellow approach to its transparent storytelling. Vocalist/guitarist Christian Zucconi said, “Can you feel my love? It’s a question and it’s the answer. I’m asking you, I’m asking my family and I’m asking myself. I need to know you can feel it. With all my flaws and all my imperfections can you feel my love?”

- British Musician Nia Smith is just 20 years old, but her talent and wisdom are not indicative of her young years. Today she shares her stunning debut single ‘Give Up The Fear’ – an earnest and heartfelt offering filled with ruminative, uplifting pianos underpinned by lyrics on pursuing a dream. Produced by Grammy-award-winning producer Jimmy Napes, the song presents a deeper meaning alongside an innate musical charisma; “[it’s] about finding that inner-child again… you know how when you’re a kid you don’t overthink or second-guess creativity?
