Polymathic Actor, Recording Artist, and Filmmaker Amir Royale Releases New Single “Phonics” (feat. Sydney Palmer and Declan Sheehy-Moss)
From Amir Royale I don't think I've ever really felt well-understood by my peers or mentors. Most my life I was outcasted for my passionate and exuberant outlook. "Phonics" was a way for me to define what that felt like — but, furthermore — showcase to others how to combat it. I've had this song sitting in a vault since before the pandemic. Thus, I recruited some of my favorite people in this whole wide world to share the stage for one of my last few "harder" stories to tell. Or, well — at least I think so. Declan Sheehy-Moss (a good friend of the next J. Dilla and Robert Glasper - Cisco Swank); as well as Sydney Kate Palmer (an NYU student of mine) both bring this so beautifully to life — and, I don't know — I just hope you finally get it one day. Maybe, just maybe — I even pray I'll still be here on Earth to know finally what it feels like. That's if God decides I'm lucky enough. I love and miss you all, always. Walk good, take care. 🌺❤️🩹🌺

Tears for the King of Rock and Roll
I am sure that Elvis greeted his daughter Lisa Marie Presley when she joined the souls in Heaven unexpectedly when she passed at the age of 54 on January 12, 2023. It got me to remember how it was when her father, Elvis died. When it comes to this legendary singer I believe lots of us can remember where we were when we heard the news of his death. Elvis Presley was only 42 years old when he died and left every fan all over the world with tears and an aching heart. I was in Canada visiting friends when I heard the news. My friend in New York City had a ticket for his next scheduled concert and she kept that ticket as a special souvenir. It was also the time I completed my Elvis record collection and spent days just listening to him singing.
