Radiate hits #42 on CashBox Magazines Pop/Rock Top 100

“Musically, "Radiate" is a blend of catchy melodies, upbeat rhythms, and radiant pop-rock splendor. The track features powerful riffs, heavy drumming, and solos that captivate listeners, coupled with an infectious chorus that sticks long after the song ends. The production and mixing by Bob Beals at Sound Foundation Studios enhance the song's quality, making it a sonic delight.” - Music Frets Magazine

Michael Botte’s latest Alt/Pop Rock Single “I Got a Song” is a musician’s anthem all about us musicians (or any artist) who can sometimes struggle to communicate through traditional means, but when we use our art as our voice, we can speak volumes, oceans, or galaxies of information!

As the chorus states: “I realize that this guitar has not gotten me very far, but it helps me say what must be said. I can’t explain just how I feel, and I don’t understand what I think is real, I got a song that must be sung instead.”
