In 2019, after working with singer Kehlani, Trent released an independent 4-track project titled The DownTime EP. The release is filled with smokey groove odes to the ladies and showcases his love note thoughts.
Yet, with "Motions," his first single from the forthcoming studio EP, Into The Night, Trent continues his deep feelings of catering to the woman he desires. “I was very conscious of putting myself into 'Motions' as soon as I began writing it,” says Trent. “To me the song gives off a lot of confidence in my ability to love a woman the right way and when fans listen to it, I want them to know that I’m giving them bits and pieces of me, my story and who I am.” he explains.
With the full EP scheduled for a June drop on Pivtl Projects, Trent is well on the road to more recognition and probably more requests for songwriting help by the big names in the industry. Friends like strong singer/producer Eric Bellinger have worked with Trent in the past and will support the young bull in his future endeavors.
The Dropkick Murphys’ Ken Casey paused one of the band’s annual St. Patrick’s Day shows at MGM Music Hall at Boston’s Fenway Park over the weekend to call out an attendee holding up a MAGA hat.
“If you’re in a room full of people and you want to know who’s in a cult, how do you know who’s in a cult?” Casey asked the crowd on Sunday (March 16), per a video shared to social media. “They’ve been holding up a f—ing hat the whole night to represent a president.”
He then told the Donald Trump-supporting fan, “This is America, there’s no kings here,” before adding, “Anyway, if you mind, sir, we’re gonna play a song about our grandparents and people who fought Nazis in the war and s—. So if you could just shut the f— up for five minutes.”
The “I’m Shipping Up to Boston” band has been open about their contempt for Trump for years. Back in 2022, they performed at the Great Allentown Fair in Pennsylvania and Casey told Rolling Stone, “I felt like we were playing a MAGA flea market. Every other table was selling the MAGA gear and the ‘F— Joe Biden’ gear and all this stuff. I was a little overwhelmed and befuddled. It was like I was dropped into another planet.”
While onstage at the event, Casey told the crowd in a viral moment, “If you’re out there buying these f—ing hats that these swindlers are selling…then you’re part of the problem! Because you’re being duped by the greatest swindler in the history of the world…and a bunch of grifters and billionaires who don’t give a s— about you or your family!”
