MARTONE UNLEASHES NEW ANTICIPATED SINGLE "TOO BAD, SO SAD" FEATURING INTELLIGENT DIVA

MARTONE UNLEASHES NEW ANTICIPATED SINGLE "TOO BAD, SO SAD" FEATURING INTELLIGENT DIVA

 
 Dance music powerhouse Martone returns with a vengeance on his latest single, "Too Bad, So Sad" (Radio Edit), a fiery collaboration with multi-talented artist Intelligent Diva, available on all major streaming platforms starting today.

Lifted from Martone’s forthcoming album Phoenix Rising: The Emperor’s Ascension, "Too Bad, So Sad" isn’t just a breakup song—it's an emotional reckoning and a powerful anthem of resilience. Written by Martone and Intelligent Diva, the track traces the journey from heartbreak to empowerment, blending raw vulnerability with fierce, unfiltered confidence.

Opening with Martone’s soulful confession of betrayal and shattered promises, the song captures the emotional aftermath of a love turned sour. Intelligent Diva takes the reins in the second verse with an electrifying rap performance, delivering a no-nonsense pep talk for anyone struggling to reclaim their worth. Together, the artists create a dynamic dialogue between pain and power—a healing arc set to a high-energy beat."Too Bad, So Sad' is a conversation between heartbreak and healing," Martone explains. "I laid down the vulnerability, and Intelligent Diva stormed in with strength and self-love. It mirrors that moment when your best friend grabs your hand and reminds you exactly who you are."

The track carries an even deeper resonance for Martone personally, coinciding serendipitously with the finalization of his divorce. "It wasn’t planned," he shares. "But the timing couldn’t be more symbolic."

Produced by Michael E. Williams, II of Platinum Keyz Recordings with Intelligent Diva's verse produced by Stone Schaefer, the song’s polished, club-ready soundscape underscores the emotional intensity at its core—equal parts cathartic release and dancefloor liberation.

The release follows the momentum of Martone’s landmark 10th Anniversary album, The Evolution of Martone, and continues to solidify his reputation as one of house music’s most fearless and dynamic voices. Beyond music, Martone remains a passionate advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, dedicating proceeds from his projects to organizations like LGBT Books to Prisoners. With "Too Bad, So Sad," Martone and Intelligent Diva offer a rallying cry for anyone reclaiming their power after heartbreak. It's a track that doesn’t just ask you to feel the pain—it dares you to dance through it.

LISTEN TO "LOST CHILD" A POWERFUL SONG FROM StUreets

LISTEN TO "LOST CHILD" A POWERFUL SONG FROM StUreets

Emerging from the raw, dust-colored corners of Ghana, StUreets is not just an artist—he’s a voice for the forgotten. With the release of his deeply personal single "Lost Child," StUreets is baring his soul, telling a story that’s both his own and a reflection of millions across Africa and beyond.

From Struggle to Sound

Born and raised in one of Accra’s toughest neighborhoods, StUreets (real name withheld for privacy) didn’t have the luxury of dreams. “I was raised by the hustle,” he says. “No silver spoons. Just rusted tins and broken walls.”

Poverty wasn’t just a background for him—it was the soundtrack of his early life. Lost opportunities, hunger, and the absence of stability marked his childhood. But it was also in these harsh realities that he found his voice. Through the rhythmic clatter of street markets, the haunting hum of midnight power cuts, and the cries of mothers praying for change, a melody began to form. That melody would become StUreets.

Poverty wasn’t just a background for him—it was the soundtrack of his early life. Lost opportunities, hunger, and the absence of stability marked his childhood. But it was also in these harsh realities that he found his voice. Through the rhythmic clatter of street markets, the haunting hum of midnight power cuts, and the cries of mothers praying for change, a melody began to form. That melody would become StUreets.

“Lost Child”: More Than a Song

His new single "Lost Child" is a raw, emotional reflection on what it means to grow up with nothing but your will to survive. Over a haunting Afro-soul beat layered with gritty trap undertones, StUreets delivers verses that cut deep:

“I was the face they ignored in the rain / A voice with no name, just hunger and pain...”

The chorus echoes with a childlike vulnerability:

“I was a lost child / Looking for a home in the dark wild / Nobody held me when the world lied / I found peace in the storm, but the tears cried…”

For StUreets, this song isn’t just art—it’s testimony. “Every lyric is a piece of me,” he says. “I wanted the world to hear what the streets taught me, what it means to grow up invisible.”

More Than Music: A Mission

What sets StUreets apart isn’t just his lyrical prowess or his distinctive Afro-trap fusion sound—it’s his mission. He sees himself as a storyteller for the underrepresented: the orphans, the street kids, the ones who society forgets.

He’s already using his platform to partner with local charities in Ghana, working on projects that provide food, mentorship, and education to vulnerable youth.

A Rising Star, Rooted in Truth

"Lost Child" is only the beginning. With more music on the way, and growing support from fans around the globe, StUreets is proving that stories from the margins deserve to be center stage.

If you’ve ever felt unheard, unseen, or forgotten, listen to “Lost Child.” Let it remind you that pain can bloom into poetry, and the most broken voices can still create beauty.


Stream “Lost Child” now on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms.
