Sofia Carson & Katherine McNamara Surprise Release New Songs - New Music Friday 12/18

Happy New Music Friday!!

This week, we have TWO end of the year surprise releases from Sofia Carson and Katherine McNamara.

Sofia debuted her new song and music video, “Hold on to Me,” while Katherine pulled another song out of her archives, “Making a Monster Out of Me.”

“I wanted to share one last song with you this year. A song that reminds us to hold onto each other with all our hearts, to hold on to hope. But most of all, I just hope it makes you smile. “When it feels like you’ve been falling, hold on to me…” I love you always, Your Sofia 🤍,” Sofia shared on Instagram.

“Surprise (again) 🎙 – another tune from the archives recorded years ago . #MakingaMonsterOutofMe,” Katherine wrote on her account. “When there are such astronomical extenuating circumstances, it can be easy to let external influences affect who we are and who we become. Even when the world isn’t upside down, one can become lost in a situation, a person, or even a time when life seems to spin out of control. In those moments, it’s important to acknowledge that and remember who you are at your core.”

“Life can take us for a ride and seem to turn us into someone we don’t recognize,” she continued. “We all have a choice to make as to the person we want to be and the influence we want to have on those around us. No matter what sort of monster you may be facing, it’s never to late to find your strength and your light and choose to do better. So enjoy the tune, get on your feet, and shake off those monsters. It’s also featured for a moment in episode 1 of #THESTAND… 💗 xKat”

We also have a new duet from Tori Kelly and JoJo, who teamed up for a rendition of Aretha Franklin‘s “(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” for Global Citizen’s upcoming album, STAND UP.

Why Don’t We premiered the music video for their latest new track “Slow Down,” Julie and the Phantoms star Jeremy Shada debuted his new song “Will They Won’t They,” and Scotty Sire released a new holiday song, “25 Christmas Trees,” with Toddy Smith.
