2. Alexa Lusader – Can’t Make You Stay
Alexa is a 23 year old singer/songwriter based out of Los Angeles, California. She’s been writing music/singing for over 10 years. This song, along with previously released singles, “White Snow”, “La La Love Me”, “Fantasy” & “Sailin” we’re all produced by Cody Tarpley, who is signed to Warner Chappell and produced SoMo’s hit single, “Ride”, Krewella’s “Team” and many more!
The story behind “Can’t Make You Stay”:
“December 2012. I was watching my dad’s marriage slowly crumble. He wasn’t smiling anymore & I’d catch him staring off into the distance with his mind in knots. I could feel his pain. They had lost trust in each other and forgot what their love used to mean. I showed him the beginning stages of an idea I had started and he lent his heart to the song. At the end, you always think about the beginning…the happy times. This song is saying, “I really do want to grow old with you but if it’s too late then I can’t make you stay”.
3. Fred Jung – G’s In The End
If you like grime or hip-hop, G’s In The End is one of them tracks that will get you gassed. After playing the tracks several times on SubmitHub, the tune has been ringing in my head.
Not much is known about the London rapper Fred Jung, but I know he has got great potential.

4. That One Eyed Kid – No Touching
When you hear the name “That One Eyed Kid” you might think it’s a joke, after pressing play on the track below I can assure you that it’s no joke. That One Eyed Kid delivers his new release No Touching and it sounds amazing. The soulful but authentic vocal shine through the keys and precision on the instrumental smoothly.
