Welcome to Winter Frost 2025-26 on Undawnted

Cold nights sitting by the roaring fireplace with hot cocoa

What to do on those long winter's nights? But read, of course!

Undawnted's Summer Time Music 2025 is Heating Up with New Hits by DL Mullan!

Are you ready for a music revolution? 

DL Mullan of Undawnted and Sonoran Dawn Studios is right there with you. For years, the music industry has been ruled by corporations, experimenting on the population. From sexualized, violent rap lyrics and pop songs that have suicidal and other phrases inserted for no reason but to social engineer young people. 

Such as:

“Livin' La Vida Loca”
Ricky Martin

She'll make you live her crazy life, but she'll take away your pain
Like a bullet to your brain

Who wants to sing-along to: “like a bullet to your brain”? 

Can't artists do better? 

_____

The Problem 

Artists can create better music, but no one will pay them to do the right thing. No corporation, NGO, or government can make money off a stable, content populace. 

If you are having a bad day, corporatized music isn't designed to better mental health.

If you want to rebel, the gang violence pushed in lyrics is just going to end you up in prison. 

We need a solution to stop the for-profit pipeline living-off/creating people's suffering. 

_____

The Solution

As consumers, we can change the industry, one song and artist at a time. Find new artists and their creations on SoundCloud and other apps. 

Poetry is personal. 

Shouldn't your music be too? 

__________

DL Mullan for Undawnted

Undawnted has embarked on a new style of music. Personal. Poignant. Meaningful. 

From the pages of DL Mullan's stories, songs that embody her characters, emotions, and motifs can be heard in the album, Resurrection, the soundtrack to the novelette, Mangled.

Don't just change your music... change your whole vibe! 

DL Mullan has been a musical wonder and performer for decades. With her classical training (e.g., competitive orchestra, concert choir, band, talent shows, and award-winning poetry), as well as her grandfather's jazz pianist genes, she takes A.I. interpretation to a whole new level.

Listen for yourself.

 

Music as it was meant to be written...

Extra Extra! The Descent is a Horrorific Good Read

Genre poetry, especially The Descent's: darker breed of poetry, is often overlooked by poetry lovers. This Autumn Cider Seasonal Reads staple here on Undawnted is a great way to vibe with the change of seasons.

On Writing to be Read's Treasuring Poetry column by Robbie Cheadle, she not only delves into my Edgar Allan Poe, Emily Dickinson, paranormal inspired chapbook, but she enjoyed it as well.

Treasuring Poetry, 2024: Introducing the poetry of DL Mullan and a review is available to read. In this interview, I discuss my inspiration and journey into writing poetry. The classics are a beautiful influence and help me ground my creative pieces. My interview also exhibits three poems from other chapbooks. Transcendence is in my upcoming Impetus. The Flower Within lives in Effloresce, which is being expanded for a future release. Weather and Asymptote reside in Phantastic.

I hope poetry lovers read my upcoming chapbooks as I re-release these poetry books from one platform onto another. This year, I plan on publishing at least two chapbooks, Eclipse being one of them. I cannot wait to share my lyrical visions with an expanded audience. 

My Long Form Poetry will be published in an upcoming collection, but most individual poems are available in my Special Editions Store.

Thanks again, Robbie Cheadle, for your kindness and review of my poetry.
