Martone Announces New Single “SERVE” – Available for Exclusive Apple Music & iTunes Pre-Sale July 28
The countdown has officially begun.
I am excited to announce the release of my brand-new single, “SERVE (Club Radio Mix),” the fourth official single from my upcoming album, Phoenix Rising: The Emperor’s Ascension. Following months of writing, production, and creative development, the record has been submitted to Symphonic Distribution and is scheduled for an exclusive two-week release on Apple Music and iTunes beginning July 28, 2026, before its worldwide release on August 11, 2026.
This release represents another important chapter in my musical journey.
Produced by Michael E. Williams II of Platinum Keyz Recordings and written by me, “SERVE” is an energetic electronic dance record that blends contemporary House music with the unmistakable influence of ballroom culture. Officially categorized as Electronic / Deep Drum & Bass, the song was created to bring the excitement, confidence, and unapologetic self-expression of the ballroom floor to dance clubs around the world.
From the opening chant of “10s, 10s, 10s across the floor” to the now-signature declaration “I am the door,” “SERVE” celebrates individuality and confidence. The record is about showing up as your authentic self, refusing to wait for permission, and embracing the power that already exists within you.
Ballroom culture has inspired generations of artists through fashion, dance, music, and fearless creativity. While “SERVE” draws inspiration from that culture’s energy and spirit, it is ultimately a celebration of self-belief. Whether you’re walking into a boardroom, stepping onto a stage, entering a nightclub, or simply facing life’s challenges, the message remains the same:
You don’t wait for the moment. You become the moment.
One of the most rewarding parts of creating this record was watching it evolve in the studio. What began as a collection of lyrical ideas transformed into a rhythm-driven anthem built around memorable chants, commanding hooks, and infectious energy. Every vocal, every beat, and every production choice was made with one goal in mind—to create a record that feels just as exciting on the dance floor as it does blasting through your speakers.
Why “SERVE” Is More Than a Song
More than a club record, SERVE is a celebration of confidence, individuality, and self-expression. Inspired by the spirit of ballroom culture, the song encourages listeners to walk boldly into every room without apology. From the chant of “10s across the floor” to the declaration “I am the door,” every lyric was written to remind people that confidence isn’t something you wait to receive from others—it’s something you choose for yourself.
Whether you’re on the dance floor, in the club, behind the DJ booth, or simply living your everyday life, SERVE is an invitation to embrace your authenticity and celebrate who you are.
As an independent artist, every pre-order, purchase, stream, and share makes a genuine difference. Your support helps fund future recordings, music videos, performances, merchandise, and the continued creation of Phoenix Rising: The Emperor’s Ascension, an album that represents one of the most ambitious projects of my career.
