Lastly, the cherry on top, she revealed something about her that the world doesn’t know. “When I wrote ‘Wasting Time,’ understanding the idea of what love really is was heavily on my mind,” Nia stated. “While on that journey, it made me realize that I can’t waste my time on someone displaying ‘love’ with words. I’ve been there, I’ve done that and threw the T-shirt in the bin! If the actions aren’t matching, then I don’t want it!” “Wasting Time” delves deep into the struggles of toxic relationships and explores themes of overthinking and self-doubt. The song is also a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear on Nia Chennai’s upcoming EP, “Diary Is A Waste Of Paper,” set to drop later this year. Nia Chennai began her music career by posting covers of her musical influences on her social media platforms while drawing inspiration from her personal experiences and the world around her. A few of her music inspirations and influences include Amy Winehouse and Lauryn Hill to Brandy and Erykah Badu. Nia has been praised for her raw and relatable song themes, exploring topics such as love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.

Whether performing live or in the studio, Nia’s passion and dedication to her craft are evident in every note. Keep an eye out for this rising star. #niachennai #neosoul Video 5 of 9 #wastingtime 🎵#dahotspot #toxicrelationships #toxicrelationship #loveisalosinggame

Hailey Benedict is a rising Country star from St. Albert, Alberta, Canada. Not too long ago, she visited “Da Hot Spot” to talk about her captivating Country single, “Damn You July,” released via Sakamoto Music/Warner Music Canada. Hailey Benedict explained, “It’s been almost two years since my last single, and I have grown so much in that time, both in my career and personal life. I feel that ‘Damn You July’ is a song that reflects that growth. I have also been inspired by some ’90s Country lately, so I enjoyed exploring and bringing some of those classic sonic elements into this song. It’s unlike anything I’ve released before, and although that can be a bit daunting, it makes me even more excited to showcase this new era of my music.” Through her soul-stirring performance and moving lyrics, Hailey Benedict paints a vivid picture of a bittersweet summer, marked by love and loss. She beautifully captures the lingering pain and longing associated with a lost love, as listeners share in her heartfelt journey. Benedict’s exceptional talent shines through as she contemplates the future, grappling with the haunting presence and inevitable return of July and its memories. Furthermore, “Damn You July” showcases a new depth and level of Benedict’s artistry and songwriting. In April, Hailey Benedict was selected as one of the eight semi-finalists in this year’s SiriusXM Top of the Country competition and was invited to record a song at The Warehouse Studio in Vancouver. Last year, Benedict won her first CCMA Award in the Interactive Artist of the Year category and was nominated in the Rising Star category. She is a 7-time Country Music Alberta Award winner and co-hosted the show this year. #HaileyBenedict #Countrymusic #qna #qnaseries #bongmines #bongminesentertainment #contemporarycountry #dahotspot #dahotspotfornewmusic #damnyoujuly #newreels

Gabby B is a Miami, Florida-based singer-songwriter, viral creator, and performer, from Goiania, Brazil. Not too long ago, she visited “Da Hot Spot” to talk about her new rhythmic afrobeats single, “Fire,” released via Muy Bueno. During the interview, @Gabby B talked a little bit about herself, her musical influences, and what she loves the most about being a music artist. ‘Fire’ is based on a sense of confidence. It leans into the perception of Gabby B as a larger-than-life figure, as well as her mindset of internal strength, showing no signs of standing down. It was ultimately inspired by Gabby’s passion for success as well as her unwillingness to change who she is for anybody else. Gabby sings with a fiery passion, “You’re so obsessed with all her curves, you can’t get enough of her.” And we can’t get enough of Gabby. “Fire” will be featured on Gabby B’s upcoming EP, which will include other upbeat, motivational, and catchy pop songs. So far, Gabby B has accumulated over 5 million followers. She was born an only child to a mother (a Brazilian performer) and a father (a professional martial arts master). Gabby was instantly synchronized with two worlds that would eventually shape-shift her passion for entertainment. Due to her time spent living in many different countries, Gabby B is fluent in three different languages and sings in four (English, French, Portuguese, and Spanish). Gabby has accumulated many musical accolades in her short career. Her single “Pose” charted in the top 5 on iTunes pop charts and #15 overall in South Africa in 2021. In 2022, her single “Dance All Night” charted #75 on the iTunes pop chart in Hong Kong. We recommend adding Gabby B’s “Fire” single to your favorite afrobeats or reggaeton playlist.
