The Shepherd Setlist is a collaboration between the Shepherd Express and Milwaukee music website, Breaking And Entering.
Gego y Nony – “Callada”
Fresh off of a Summerfest timeslot at the BMO Harris Pavilion, reggaeton duo Gego y Nony are back with a new single, and they’re ready for the summertime parties with “Callada.” The song is about a secret affair, with a hook about keeping things on the down low. The beat, however, taps a little bit into some darker production, but keeps the flare and general bop of the signature reggaeton sound. Since they emerged with their debut, Gego y Nony have been making top notch music, and this is no exception. (Allen Halas)
Lakeyah Featuring Latto – “Mind Yo Business”
Lakeyah’s keeping her run of big singles going, teaming up with Latto for the “Mind Yo Business” video. The Quality Control artist with Milwaukee ties has her swagger on a billion this time around, talking about getting whatever she wants from either a man spending on her or her own hustle. With a big attitude that comes across in her vocal delivery, and lyrics to match, this track is tuned in with all the girls that don’t care what the world thinks of them. It’s another good look for Lakeyah, and another step in her road to mainstream stardom. (Allen Halas)
Gold Steps – “Front Row”
Pop-punk band Gold Steps have a new single and video out via Ghost Killer Entertainment. It’s a song about putting a toxic and manipulative person behind you and living your best life; they’d try to use you for their own gain, and now they can play their games on their own. Fittingly, the video finds vocalist Liz Mauritz out on the town with her bandmates, cruising around and having drinks to celebrate life. It’s an empowering one from Gold Steps, and we can’t wait to see what they do after recently signing a record deal. (Ben Slowey)

Johanna Rose Featuring Old Pup – “What If I Told You”
Johanna Rose has a new collaboration with Old Pup that came out at the beginning of the month, and “What If I Told You” has a retro country sonic atmosphere. Rose sings about being resilient, not needing anyone to make them happy or provide for them. The guitar glistens on this one, and the vocal harmonies have a twang that feels rooted in the country singer/songwriters of a bygone era. “What If I Told You” is a track of empowerment, built around the flare of a traditional Americana gem. (Allen Halas)
Diet Lite – “Harbour A Hand”
Diet Lite released a new track this past Friday, and they let loose on “Harbour A Hand.” The song starts with a manic pace, but mellows out for the chorus. When it’s going, though, it’s full speed ahead for the band, who ramble through lyrics with a multitude of sporadic thoughts. There’s some substance if you want it, but the overpowering factor here is the amount of energy that Diet Lite puts into this song. The band have been releasing new music and are always in front of the Milwaukee music scene with some sort of content, so stay tuned and you won’t have to wait for more from the band. (Allen Halas)
