Argo Vibes announced the worldwide release of "Release," the new single from contemporary soul and alternative R&B and jazz artist Ikea Damone, on December 19, 2025. The track signifies Damone's return to the music scene after a creative hiatus, introducing a fresh chapter characterized by intimate storytelling and harmonious melodies. Just days after its debut, "Release" earned a nomination for Best R&B/Soul Song at the 37th Annual Wammie Music Awards, announced on December 21, 2025. The nomination highlights her comeback and recognizes the impact of her latest artistic journey, with the single gaining early momentum including placement on Spotify's Release Radar playlist.
"Release arrived in a moment of instinct. It was effortless and unplanned. Once it was out in the world, it became something bigger than me. That's the beauty of music: once you let it go, it belongs to whoever needs it," stated Damone. The song captures the comforting moment of unwinding with someone trusted, with lyrics and melodies reflecting the experience of talking through the day and allowing emotions to settle. Its subtle musical arrangement underscores honesty and vulnerability, making "Release" a heartfelt invitation to connect and find solace.
Listeners can stream, download, and purchase "Release" through all digital entertainment platforms. Damone's artistic background includes a family musical heritage, with her grandmother having performed with The Shirelles and her great-grandfather singing with The Rays. Argo Vibes, which began as the nation's first mobile music label, has evolved into a global multimedia creative house that develops and supports independent artists, storytellers, and creative entrepreneurs. The company provides a home where talent can create with vision, move with autonomy, and build work that stands the test of time.
