"Happy Together" "I chose 'Happy Together' because it is one of my favorite songs from the 60's. The lyrics are so simple, yet so powerful."
Sir Ivan insists that we can all be 'Happy Together' even when we are apart, as many of us are now.
This remake of the 1967 widely acclaimed, #1 hit song by The Turtles, sets the stage for 2020. As we enter into a brand new decade, Sir Ivan hopes that 'Happy Together' will continue to bring more peace and unity to all in the

"One Vote, One Name" "Our vote is our voice. It is our most important right, and the only way we can bring about progressive change for ourselves and our fellow citizens. Though this song was first written during the struggles in South Africa to end Apartheid, it is equally relevant now as I find myself concerned about the same kinds of things in this country, from voter suppression, to voter exclusion. 'One vote, one name' is our right to claim, and defend."

"Aftertaste" From The New EP "Nights Like This" "We met Morgan in our first year in L.A.", says Loud Luxury's Andrew Fedyk of the track's vocalist. "We got introduced oddly enough through BMI. We were on a 'songwriter speed dating' session and she came over to our apartment that we used to live at and we just hung out. The original song she wrote was a lot slower, but we took the idea with us on a trip to Jamaica and we were just really inspir

"Young & Alive" "'Young & Alive' was really me just getting back to my roots and looking for that youth in myself again. It's interesting because this song has such a bright, full of life type energy to it, but when making it I didn't feel that way. When making it I was in a darker place and while making it, I was almost opening myself up back to that and going back to that pure kid-like state which we all chase, and that's where the magic was, that present-ness.

"Spell On Me" "I could not have imagined a better collaborative process than what I have experienced with Damon Sharpe and Eric Sanicola. They sorted through a variety of lyric ideas that I had formulated and they matched those words & images to an incredibly catchy melody & track. They are truly masterful in the manner that they brought the raw concepts to life."

"Stars Are Falling" "Stars Are Falling, an expression of hope, love, and community, is the result of my latest collaboration with my music producer, Damon Sharpe, and Jason Dauman, who is the leader in Dance Club promotion and was a fan of the original demo Throughout this project, our goal was to create an uplifting insight into the much-changed world within which we find ourselves today.

"Promise To Love Her" "This song wasn't supposed to be anything more than a wedding gift for my wife, Megan. I surprised her with it on the morning of our wedding, and she loved it so much that we used it as our first dance. I never expected it would be much more than that, let alone become a song that has over 50 Million streams ( and still growing) and is being used in weddings across the country. I'm still blown away that it spent 17 weeks on the CMT Music 12

"away from me" "Like I've always said, music is my therapy. It's my main form of self-expression and I don't think I'd be alive without it. My main goal in my music is to show that people aren't a lot, regardless of what they're going through. "away from me", my latest release, in a way, feels like the first song I ever wrote. Yes, it is self-deprecation at its finest, but it also led me in the right direction, sonically. It's definitely my favorite song I'

"Love is Gone" "LOVE IS GONE represents the curtain call after a long term relationship abruptly ends. In the wake of the uncomfortable pain comes a sense of newfound freedom that calls for a celebration. I wrote this song when I had gotten broken up with over the phone after being in a relationship for 6+ years. I wanted this song to be harsh, funny and authentic. Like the phases of this relationship, LOVE IS GONE morphed through a series of versions as I grew m
