Montana’s most successful run as a lead artist - ‘Unforgettable’ ft. Swae Lee - peaked at #18 on the Hot 100.  

’Take Cover’ - Jordie Ireland | UMA

Aussie upstart Jordie Ireland makes his radio debut with ‘Take Cover’. The track is an impressive EDM pop hit which has already racked up over 350,000 streams on Spotify. Made even more intruiging by the unidentified female vocalist, this track is a sign that we should keep an eye on this 19-year-old as we move into 2018.
