“Things in life are not always easy. In fact we have to face difficulties and overcome obstacles. Our emotional state is similarly affected too. This is the idea behind "Of Little Winters". An Indie folk single taken from the group's forthcoming album, giving strength and inspiring us for self-evaluation.”

The dynamic quintet shines through the nordic clouds with colorful songwriting on their forthcoming album ‘WONDERLOST’ set to release fall 2022 via Celebration Records. Third single “Of Little Winters” will be released april 15th.
Indie-pop group Little Winter are releasing the third single from their upcoming album Wonderlost. “Of Little Winters” is a modern take on the early 70’s motown, and it draws inspiration from the uplifting and danceable approach to the grave and somber lyrics. Daniel explains, “This duality is permeating our creative output, but it stands out especially in this song. The essence of the song is a declaration of restlessness, loss of direction and absence of meaning in a monotonous existence.”
The “little winters” we all face
As with the band name itself, the song title refers to moments of feeling lost, alone and without a clear direction in life. They are not always present in one’s life, but neither are they completely absent - it’s just something that we all must endure as part of growing up and searching for a place in the world.
Drummer Nikolaj explains, “There is an interesting and inherent contradiction in the idea of these small winters, these unpleasant emotional hilltops standing in the way, sometimes appearing suddenly, but always when least needed. You know that there is happiness and relief to be found on the other side, as well as future helpless days lurking around the corner. It feels pointless to start every single climb but it is also okay, and that is kind of the point - to come to terms with these less glamorous sides of life, because they will hit you from time to time and for better or worse; life wouldn’t be the same without them.”
Ryan continues, “for me, the essence of the song is that feeling of being at home in periods of thoughtfulness. You know, those dark, gray periods of melancholy sitting in between happiness and sadness. As a band we also write more music with greater inspiration during these periods. You don’t take time to think about life and your place in it when things are going great and you are having fun. Similarly, in depressive times when your mood is just hitting rock bottom you just don’t have the energy it takes to write. It is when balancing on this fine line in between that I really get to examine the thoughts and emotions flowing around in my mind.”
Bringing the idols into the frame
“Of Little Winters” is written in collaboration with the Danish singer/songwriter Tue West. Ryan says,‘’This track is really one of my favorites from the new album. I co-wrote the chorus and lyrics for it on a summer night with the danish singer/songwriter Tue West. We had an idea about writing a song with melancholy as a main theme. This idea turned into Of Little Winters, and as such it serves as a nice contrast to the vibe and state of mind present in our first singles, Julia and Only 19. Tue even sings on the recording of the song
“A gentle Cinematic piece is out by Richard Brown and ready to add its colour in your music palette. Sound based on orchestration, while balancing between imagination and reality. Smooth progression and unique touch for your ears guaranteed.”

With VOICES OF NIGHT, composer Richard E Brown introduces a formidable set of works to American orchestral repertoire. His lush orchestration gives his works depth and texture, while individual instruments cut through to create musical narratives that whisk listeners through lyrical passages and dancelike rhythms. While his pieces thrive on the suspenseful and dramatic, they are by no means a pure emotional onslaught—for every build and crescendo, Brown returns to calmness and simplicity. His ability to wrest control of the orchestra from rafter-shaking crests to gentle melodies provides each piece with breathing room, making them all the more powerful.

“Dope beat with a characteristic sound that slaps that fat basslines to a deep groove. It's hypnotic to an extent with the background carousel sound. Tight lyrics keep this one flowing easy. Excellent production with a quality crew behind the scenes. ”

Off the the shoulders of the radio banger ‘The Gamble’, and following a brief hiatus for which he claims “reflection was needed”, Bayku is back with the first official single "Sake Of Money" from his forthcoming album “Warrior King”.
Featuring his partner in rhyme, the GOD MC M.anifest, “Sake Of Money” is a club thumping ode to the struggle we all face between chasing money, and freeing ourselves from the rat race. Produced by frequent collaborator Mike Millz On Em, the record begins with ghoulish horror movie sounding piano riffs, quickly joined by the chorus, a bellowing baritone voice proclaiming “Big Man Dey Chop…Real Man Dey Chalk”. Bayku’s melodic African/Soul style of word play, joined by the 808 drums sets the energy levels of the record to frenzy.
M.anifest on the second verse shows again why he’s one of Africa’s favorites, confessing “Get the bag feel invincible,... for the bag throw away wanna principles”. A conundrum yes, but one I bet any listener can not resist bopping to. A record you can expect to hear in the cars, the clubs, the markets, and on all the devices, ‘Sake Of Money’ feels designed to leave one salivating for what is to come from “Warrior King”.
When asked what he hoped to achieve with this single, Bayku’s reply was simple. “Set the tone.”

Artist said about this song:
" Produced by 2x Grammy nominee Jeff Kolhede in Oakland, Ca, Light of Day features a driving rhythm with quirky brass lines, rich imagery of the American South, fat harmonies, and an ear-wormy chorus. It's a little indie folksy, but also throws 60s soul vibes w/ the brass. Set in my hometown of Louisville, KY , where I was working for a summer as a cycling-trip guide, it's the story of trying to salvage a relationship that started perfectly but ended up twisted when I found out she had a boyfriend back at home I didn't know about. Brutal! "

“The Polish Vincent Kostra floats between traditional classical and Epic sound. Discover a dramatic atmosphere lurking behind those crystal keypads and wind instruments. A track full of volume shifts and unpredictable progression, ideal for curiosity lovers.”
-Nagamag.com
The Polish composer blurs the lines between neo-romantic classical music and modern soundtracks, with a contemporary spin on traditional orchestral music.
Taking inspiration from romantic and neo-romantic artists like Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Mahler, and Prokofiev; film composers such as Wojciech Kilar, and notably avant-garde duo ‘Dead Can Dance’, his sound is a dramatic infusion of diverse influences. Although primarily influenced by the classical world, he will often get in the compositional headspace by immersing himself in trap artists like Travis Scott, resulting in a strong rhythmic influence on his music, whether through percussive elements or melodic ostinatos.
Following his December 2021 debut EP “Certain Misfortunes“, his debut LP album “Gloom&Rhythm” was released on May 9, 2022.

“Fresh Afro Beats with a house music flavor ingrained into the DNA of the track. Easy going lyrics with those natural accents that set it apart. The chorus breaks down on the good side of pop, hard not to move to this one.
