On Vacation!
The What's In-Store Music office will be closed Monday, July 13, through Friday, July 17, as we take a short summer break to celebrate a very special occasion, my mother's 97th birthday!
You can still submit songs while we're away, and we'll begin reviewing new submissions as soon as we're back in the office on Monday, July 20.
Thanks for your patience, and we look forward to sharing more great music with you when we return!

"Downtown"
“Downtown” captures the excitement of escaping the ordinary and getting lost in the energy of the city after dark. The song is about chasing adventure, embracing spontaneity, and finding connection in those moments when the lights come on and anything feels possible. True to Zeeba's songwriting style, the track pairs an infectious melody with a deeper sense of optimism, reminding listeners to be present, follow their instincts, and enjoy the journey rather than worry about the destination. It celebrates the freedom that comes from living in the moment and discovering where the night might lead.

What's In-Store Music
Live at Sunset
with Remy Reilly on Friday, June 26th 2026
We had been talking about it for the better part of two years, and then finally the stars aligned, the stage was set, and the very first What’s In-Store Music Live at Sunset featuring Remy Reilly became a reality.
It was a perfect Southern California evening filled with industry friends, musicians, and artists, all gathered for a night of music starring Dallas's own Remy Reilly. Fresh off a huge night at the Dallas Music Awards, where she took home Songwriter of the Year, Best Pop Song, and Best Pop Artist, and with her current single, "Ricochet," playing overhead in retailers more than 6,500 times each week, it was time for Remy to come to Los Angeles and show everyone what all the buzz was about. She did not disappoint.
The crowd was split almost evenly between those who had seen Remy perform before and those experiencing her for the very first time. By the end of the evening, one thing was abundantly clear, everyone in attendance had become a fan.
She had the audience in the palm of her hand from the opening song, delivering standout performances of "What Do You Know," "Ricochet," "Dirty Work," and my personal favorite of the night, "Half Priced Books." With her haunting vocals, percussive guitar style, engaging stage presence, and effortless charm, what wasn't to love?
The next night, Remy took the stage at the iconic Peppermint Club before heading back to Texas to perform for a packed crowd at FIFA Fan Fest. If her performances that weekend were any indication, there's no doubt this rising star is just getting started.
Have a great week,
Scott Emerson
