Annika Bellamy - Come and Get Your Love [Feat: Pat "Redbone" Vegas]
Annika Bellamy, Niece of Redbone's Tony "T-Bone" Bellamy, Collaborates with Founding Member Pat Vegas for First-Ever Official Remake of "Come and Get Your Love"
“Come and Get Your Love” is more than just a 1970s hit. Originally performed by Redbone, it became a cultural touchstone, blending infectious grooves with Native American and Mexican American influences. The song soared to the top of the charts and, decades later, found new life in the blockbuster film Guardians of the Galaxy, introducing its irresistible chorus to a whole new generation.
Annika Bellamy is no stranger to music’s transformative power. Born and raised in Las Vegas and now calling Long Beach, California home, Annika’s multicultural background—Dutch, Indonesian, and European Spanish—infuses her artistry with a global sensibility and a unique voice. But it’s her family’s musical heritage that truly sets her apart.
In 2025, Annika was invited by Pat “Redbone” Vegas, Redbone’s founder and bassist, to collaborate on a fresh remake of “Come and Get Your Love.” This marked the first time Pat had ever partnered with another artist to reimagine the classic hit. For Annika, the project was deeply personal—a chance to honor her uncle’s memory while bringing her own creative energy to a song beloved by millions.

Ren Shelter - Bloody Wine
Bloody Wine is the 5th and last song of Ren’s debut EP, it turns the tables on the classic stalking story, but what happens when the roles are reversed?
Inspired by the famous TV series Baby Reindeer, Ren writes about a man who finds himself caught in a woman's obsession, but instead of being taken seriously, his pain is drowned in laughter. With a catchy, upbeat melody, this song addresses the ridiculousness of double standards in relationships while showing how emotional manipulation can be disguised as love. A playful yet dark reminder that obsession is never cute, no matter who’s on the receiving end.

Kristen Banana - Lanternbones and Ghosts
A dream pop journey through survival, memory, and quiet rebirth. I wrote it after walking through trauma, isolation, and personal loss. These songs aren’t about being saved—they’re about staying. If you’ve ever felt invisible, burned out, or quietly rebuilding, this album was made for you.
It blends layered harmonies, cinematic textures, and intimate vocals into something that glows rather than shines—like moonlight or northern sky. Think ethereal, emotional, and hauntingly soft.
For fans of artists who whisper the truth instead of screaming it.
