If you’re familiar with Saint Evaleen’s music, you already know her sound and lyrics leverage both a sweet side and one that comes with a kick. Those ideas are emphasized in her latest release, “Sugar and Spice (feat. Riley and the Roxies)” written by Mary Ives, Mo Alfonso and Spencer Riley Alfonso. Under the guise of a catchy melody and dancy beat is the story of a romance where both sides are complicit in the over indulgence of one another, best exemplified in the lyric, “ Don’t ever stop, want the heat, like cinnamon, sugar sweet, you and I touch, can’t get enough”. Sometimes love is like a sweet tooth you just can’t shake. Check out “Sugar and Spice (feat. Riley and the Roxies)”.
KVLVNV’s (kuh-LAY-nuh) otherworldly talents are showcased in her definitive debut single “Lovey”. Written and produced by Spencer Riley Alfonso, “Lovey” is an eclectic track that harkens back to 60’s R&B laced with a uniquely modern edge. Let’s give KVLVNV a big warm welcome to the music world.
Since its release this past Friday 1/8/21, “Blush” has gotten a lot of love. Special thanks and shout outs to all the playlists and bloggers that featured this new Riley and the Roxies release.
Riley and the Roxies is defined by garage rock riffs and off-the-cuff romantic lyrics that evoke memories of salty oceans and west coast drives. Their new single “Blush” is no exception. Written, performed, and produced by Spencer Riley Alfonso, “Blush” lifts the veil behind a person hexed by the curse of love in this anti-heroic love song. The sentiments are laid out in the lyric, “Dreaming of you, cause I don’t have a choice”. Check out the new single, “Blush” by Riley and the Roxies here.
“Boss (feat. Saint Evaleen)” is an upbeat Alt-Pop empowering track. Since her debut EP release in 2019, Cass XQ has seen commercial success that helped propel her growing fan base.

This is Cass XQ’s last single before her EP drops so the goal for this song is to get her fan base hyped for new music to come in early Spring 2021.
While growing a viral presence online, The TVC’s Spencer Riley Alfonso, drops his next single featuring first time collaborator MYKO BELLIN, “Can’t Stop Me (feat. MYKO BELLIN)”.
