Here is the new Jaime French release friends:
• JAIME FRENCH - The Hunter (Official Video)

Here is a message from the CLIFFS

Hello,
Sharing your music with the world today is more possible than it has ever been. While it's an empowering time to be a band or artist the truth of the matter is that there are over 100,000 songs being released EVERY DAY. Releasing music to Spotify, Apple Music, and Youtube, in 2026 has been likened to shooting a bottle rocket into a sky full of already completely full of exploding fireworks. While algorithmic determined growth for artists is not biased, in today's landscape it is essential to have marketing plan and funds to give your art an opportunity to be discovered by new listeners. While outliers certainly exist, most artists who succeed today, do so with wisely spent dollars for a "seat at the table." This "seat" gives you access to new listeners ears and eyes, and makes sure your current followers know about releases via Digital Ads, Playlisting, Press, Influencers, Airplay, etc.

These forms of marketing through our distribution partner

SYMPHONIC are what allow our firework to have an opportunity to briefly soar higher and burn brighter than the already full sky. While it's nearly impossible to compete with releases of major label artists and already thriving acts, it is possible to capitalize on a moment. We CLIFFS believe that moment is our next release "Always Gonna Feel That Way." With a target funding of 3,000-5,000 dollars we believe we can spread the song and make gains capable of landing record label attention, bigger shows, a genuine fan base, and television/movie sync opportunities.

This is not a return-on-investment opportunity. If you feel more comfortable donating to charity, or betting on the Super Bowl, we want you to do that. But we know that we have tans and supporters who LOVE music, and believe that it can change people, the way that music has changed us so profoundly. We hope that this song makes you feel something. We hope our music can dig its way into your hearts. If it does, consider helping us share that feeling with others by helping to fund the marketing efforts of "Always Gonna Feel That Way."

If you want to donate their Venmo is:

i can't get the venmo link to show up right, but just type in @bottleboyllc and you will see it
