For Carter Benjamin, “Take Your Sweet Time” isn’t just a song title; it’s a mantra. One that’s guided every setback, pivot, and breakthrough along the way.

Benjamin grew up immersed in music, whether in church pews or on car rides with his “music head” dad, blasting everything from Christian hardcore metal to Christian hip-hop and punk. When YouTube began expanding access to artists across genres, Benjamin’s world widened with it, revealing just how limitless music could be.

He entered college intent on earning a degree in music, but after struggling through three years, he pivoted to organizational leadership. The decision felt less like a strategy and more like a surrender. Defeated, he moved back in with his grandmother, unsure of what came next. Then, a seemingly ordinary trip to the store for a loaf of bread became an inflection point,  a quiet but defining reminder that there’s power in breaking the mold rather than forcing yourself to fit inside one.

After a lifetime passion for music and a revived belief in himself, taking his sweet time finally paid off. On his third application to the Salt Lick Incubator, he was selected by an esteemed panel of Grammy-winning artists, earning a spot on the roster and access to grants, mentorship, and a creative community poised to help propel him forward.

On the latest episode of The Juice Box Sessions, Benjamin opened up about being part of the Salt Lick Incubator, the creative process behind “Take Your Sweet Time,” and his advice for other independent artists.

If your New Year’s resolution includes setting boundaries, Mae Stephens has written your new alt-pop anthem, “Done With U.”

The defiant track marks a bold reintroduction to the Gold-certified British songstress, who first captured global attention with her breakout hit “If We Ever Broke Up.” Now 22, Stephens continues to write candidly from personal experience, unafraid to tell it exactly how it is.

The single arrives alongside an equally unapologetic—and cheeky—music video directed by Willow Hazell. Set within a satirical talent-show format, the visual finds Stephens confronted by contestants pushing their luck for her attention, with little success.

On the latest episode of Juice Box Sessions, we sat down with Stephens to discuss collaborating with Billen Ted (Becky Hill, Joel Corry, Wes Nelson), her advice on protecting your peace, and what’s next in this exciting new era.

On December 31, 1999, the world was on edge about a possible technological shutdown. Due to a programming bug that only allowed the last two digits of the year to update, people theorized that a society that relied on technology would fall into complete disarray when the date failed to change at the turn of the millennium. Much to people’s relief, the “Y2K Bug” caused minimal disruption. However, what if the widespread panic had been warranted? Kyle Mooney and Evan Winter imagine a possible doomsday scenario in their apocalyptic comedy, Y2K. 

In the film, outcasts Eli (Jaeden Martell) and Danny (Julian Dennison) are determined to end New Year's Eve with a kiss from popular high school basketball star Laura (Rachel Zegler). But when the clock strikes midnight, the festivities quickly turn to mayhem as technology revolts, transforming into monstrous, humanoid killing machines. As the chaos unfolds, the characters embark on a wild, action-packed adventure to survive—narrowly escaping death and avoiding becoming slaves to the machines. Along the way, they receive help from unlikely sages, including Limp Bizkit's Fred Durst and video store clerk Garrett (played by Mooney).

Other familiar faces include '90s icon Alicia Silverstone and music artist The Kid Laroi.

We sat down with Mooney and Winter to chat about all things Y2K.

On October 18, Isabel Dumaa will triumphantly release her debut EP Just My Nature. The title, borrowed from a yet to be released track, isn’t a resignation, but rather a declaration of acceptance.

Dumaa has wanted to be a singer since she could talk. As a child, she would subject her family to living room concerts, and as she entered her teens, she became a regular in the San Francisco circuit. Determined to pursue music as a career, Dumaa, armed with a journal full of vulnerable confessions, promptly took off for LA after graduation. However, despite this lifelong dream, and success, the rising artist couldn’t escape imposter syndrome, as detailed in her 2021 debut “Call My Bluff.” 

The heartfelt track was the beginning of a two year journey to reconcile those feelings and uncover the confidence to embrace herself. 

We spoke with Dumaa ahead of the release to chat about the album, which features previous releases  "Quarter Life Crisis," "C'est La Vie," and  "Enough for You,” self-acceptance, and more.

When does imitation go from flattery to a case of identity theft? Nashville-based pop singer-songwriter Leah Mason is answering that question with her new single “Klepto.”

A follow up to “YOUR BOYFRIEND SUCKS,” this edgy pop anthem calls out a friend who took a little more than “inspiration” from Mason. “She would subtly ask me about where my clothes were from, and the next week she’d show up in the same thing I had been wearing,” Mason says. 

However, this “friend” earned the title of Klepto when, “she eventually started messing around with the people in my life, like talking to guys she knew I liked and inviting my friends to hang out without me. It was like she wanted my life.” 

From heartbreak to love and everything-in-between, Mason is capturing “that life” with honesty, relatability, and bite.

American Idol is back on air for its 22nd season. As sad as we are to see Katy Perry leave after this season, the talent we have seen makes this season seem promising! One of those talented contestants is a former NFL player, Blake Proehl. Proehl was a wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings but had to pull out due to an injury. Proehl used music as his beacon for recovering and getting into a mentally stable spot. His audition was wholesome as he sang by his grandmom's side, who inspired him to get into music and pursue a career in the arts. We chatted with Proehl in our latest podcast episode, discussing his transition from the NFL to the music world and more.

Rising alt-pop artist Chloe Star has found her happy place. However, the journey to uncover it was a process. 

Throughout Chloe’s life, journaling has been her solace. After being blindsided by a painful break-up, she began to process her thoughts through the only way she knew how, poetry and music. 

At first, she only set out to write “Fool,” which details the breakdown of the relationship. However, as she began to heal, she continued to write and defiantly emerged from the ashes of heartbreak with “Found My Peace.” 

Now, Chloe has rounded out the unexpected confessional trilogy with the empowering “Happy Place,” which realizes the freedom in healing.
