STONEFRENGE 2026

I’m excited to share that I’ll be releasing a series of music videos and short films throughout 2026, expanding the universe of STONEFRENGE: Black in Space into bold, cinematic territory.

The first release will be the official music video for “STONEFRENGE,” the second track from my STONEFRENGE: Black in Space album.

I decided to push the release date back until the first week of January 2026 — a strategic move that coincides with a major milestone in my creative journey. TuneCore continues to collect publishing rights on my behalf (an error I made) and take a cut of the revenue from STONEFRENGE and several of my other songs. Not cool! Once that term ends on December 31, 2025, I’ll fully regain 100% collection of my publishing rights through TheMLC, which deposits the revenue directly into my account every month, totally free, unlike Tunecore, which does so 45 days after the end of each calendar quarter. I then have to wait up to 10 days to receive the royalty payments through a third-party service (Payoneer), which also charges me a fee.

This marks the beginning of a new chapter of total creative and financial independence — the essence of what the ZOOLOOK® brand stands for. 2026 will be a year of sound and vision. Stay tuned for updates, visuals, and behind-the-scenes looks as I bring the world of STONEFRENGE: Black in Space and the release of STONEFRENGE: Close Encounters to life on screen.

More good news

I hope everyone who celebrates Thanksgiving had a wonderful day! I wanted to add some more good news to this post. I received a message from The MLC on Thanksgiving eve! They have submitted a 7-day request to CD Baby for the formal relinquishment of three of my songs, which happen to be the most radio-played tracks from my discography: Natural High, We Come in Peace (and love), and Soul Rebel! Thank you to the MLC for the work that they do. The MLC has distributed over $3 billion in streaming royalties directly to artists.

The Mechanical Licensing Collective (The MLC) is a U.S. nonprofit designated by the Copyright Office under the Music Modernization Act of 2018. Since January 2021, it administers blanket mechanical licenses for U.S. streaming/download platforms, collects royalties from DSPs, and pays songwriters and publishers. The MLC also provides a public works database and a portal for creators and publishers to register and manage their music data, helping ensure accurate, timely royalty payments.

Their mission is to ensure U.S. mechanical royalties are paid accurately and on time. And their vision is to empower members through transparency, innovation, and world-class rights administration.

To the MLC, I appreciate you!
