We’re kicking things off with a Sauce favorite: Austin George, who just dropped his debut project Whiterock. Spanning eight tracks, the project is a culmination of over three years of work—and it shows. One standout we’re spotlighting is the opening track, “little more time.” Austin's talent as both a songwriter and vocalist is on full display here, delivering a track that’s as catchy as it is heartfelt. It lingers long after the final chorus, setting the tone for what’s to come. Whiterock arrives on the heels of Austin’s Sauce on the Side session, which you can check out now on our YouTube channel.
Next up is Chance Peña with his latest single, “Song From Yesterday.” Peña’s unmistakable vocals instantly draw you in. He seamlessly blends rich melodies with poignant, emotionally charged lyrics, showcasing the depth and maturity of his artistry. There’s a raw conviction in his voice—you can feel every word. Listening to Chance Peña is a deeply personal, almost indescribable experience.
Rounding out this week’s picks is Benjamin Steer and his new single, “Homesick.” The production quality here is top-tier, and Steer’s layered vocals make the track shine with vibrant textures. His ability to shape sound is mesmerizing—I wouldn’t be surprised if he has synesthesia, because “Homesick” sounds like it was painted in color. It’s a compelling step forward in his evolving artistic journey.
