Packed with bold, groovy drum and bass, captivating synths and silky-smooth, evocative vocals, Down For You is downright gripping from start to finish. Produced by LOTITS and 3XPO, the track showcases a signature sensual prowess that is prevalent in Sheer’s repertoire.
“I made friends with a fellow songwriter that I met sharing a gig in a seaside town. We kept in touch over a few years, and I saw him at his best and at his worst. I made an offer to help him when I saw him on the rocks and ‘knee deep in need’. The way I figure it, when you’ve faced your own challenges, your own desperation in one form or another and you’ve had the good fortune of coming through it, you have the ability, or possibly even a duty to share your experience, strength, and hope in a completely non-judgmental way,” says the dutiful and soulful Kurt Deemer about his latest track “Weeds” off his soon to be released new album Reclaim the Night out May 6th.
Glide is premiering this potent track that combines an east coast veracity reminiscent of Springsteen, Craig Finn and Steve Earle where stories ring true and you can visualize the sweat of the song’s protagonists through the hardworking songs.

Tuareg neo-funk producer, multi-instrumentalist, activist, and singer/songwriter Farees has had a prolific few years, releasing his twin LPs, Border Patrol and Both Sides of the Border, in 2020. After the guitar-heavy spoken-word protest anthems of those records, Farees is continuing that prolific streak with another pair of new records, Blindsight and Galactic Africa, both set to release on June 3rd of this year. The latter sees Farees exploring Afrobeat and dance music, while the former continues the evolution of his groove-centric neo-funk and spoken word.
