Heather Walton – I Wanna Know
(Spotify)

“A song for dreamers, lovers and any who wish to examine their emotions on a deeper level. Heather Walton has an immediately recognisable voice that has a quality that will keep you coming back for more. ‘I want To Know’ is an essay on a difficult heartfelt subject, handled effortlessly by a song writer and performer at the top of their game.”

-Nagamag.com

Born in California, Heather Walton is a singer-songwriter who grew up in the most authentic essence of the American culture and musical tradition. Since then, her mesmerizing and dreamlike voice has been her unique and recognizable trademark along with her original and whimsical ability to compose and write lyrics She says: I want to know more about the possibilities of the purest human emotion… love. This is the basis of my new single “I Wanna Know.” It’s an anthem for the world, but especially dreamers. About a big ideal based on one’s innermost desires and feelings that have a deep meaning in the most passional way. It’s about overcoming boundaries and quest for light. My hope for “I Wanna Know” is that it will spark the listener to analyze their deepest desires on the subject of love, and then strive to reach new heights in their relationships, emotions, fantasies, and dreams. Love is the highest of all values after all.

Eon MC Etc. – Legitimate Hustler
(Spotify)

“Legitimate Hustler from Eon MC Etc. in his new album Westside, Bitch!, released under United Statements, is a melodious, balanced and varied song with thought-provoking lyrics and an expressive vocal perfomance. Chorus is very memorable. ”

-Nagamag.com

This is a song about trying to come up but stay out if trouble

http://www.instagram.com/eonmcetc

‘Eon MC Etc.’ was born and raised in Lawton, OK and began singing in the church choir at the tender age of 8. Shortly thereafter, Eon began to appreciate secular music in the form of hip-hop and became a student of the craft, writing and reciting his own lyrics. All throughout his life, he firmly believed he would pave a way for himself in the entertainment industry. Like his partner on the track ‘Lady Liberty,’ the young emcee fell in love with acting and pursued his stage career in NYC, where he eventually met his long time friend and partner in lyricism, Adduci...

Jesse Royal, Stonebwoy – Dirty Money
(Spotify)

“The new song of -Jesse Royal and Stonebwoy-, creates a unique atmosphere with its melted carefree rhythm of reggae. Such a release proves once again that good music is a special kind of art for the ears and soul too.”

“Уникальная песня от -Jesse Royal и Stonebwoy-, с не менее уникальной атмосферой, в которой плавится размеренный ритм беззаботного регги. Подобный релиз в очередной раз доказывает, что делать музыку для души тоже, что и создавать искусство.”

-Nagamag.com

Jesse Royal teams up with Ghanaian Afrobeat/Dancehall star Stonebwoy for “Dirty Money,” where a lilting African-influenced rhythm track propels the lyrics’ unrelenting condemnation of political greed: “If education is key, why you can’t make it free for we? Or is it because you profit from poverty? When you look at me do you see a man or do you see another vote for your party? Not even holy water can clean your dirty money.”

The track is the latest single and fourth release from Royal’s upcoming sophomore album, Royal, due to come out June 11 via Easy Star Records. The single follows "Rich Forever" which had an accompanying video premiered by The FADER this week. The new song “Dirty Money” features a cross-cultural beat, co-produced by Grammy-award winning producer Sean Alaric (responsible for Koffee’s “Throne” and Teyana Taylor’s “Bad”) and Jesse himself and captures the sounds of Jamaica and Africa.

The album title Royal describes the quality of music he’s making but also offers a succinct definition of Jamaica’s signature beat. “Reggae is a different tone, a different feeling, a different mood. It speaks to you in different ways, it is definitely royal music,” says Jesse. Jesse adopted a new approach for creating the songs on Royal, collaborating with like-minded colleagues and just letting the creativity flow. The result is 11 tracks that incorporate live instrumentation and programmed riffs, experimental and traditional sounds, all of which contribute to Jesse’s most impressive body of work to date. The messages delivered throughout Royal are militant yet divinely inspired, profoundly moving and politically provocative, while the album’s multi-textured sonics are rooted in reggae but also incorporate a 21st century burnished palette of influences.

Mark Sutton – Dusk ‘Til Dawn
(Spotify)

“Wow, what a powerful work! It reflects with precision the full depth of the essence of its name. Simple and uncomplicated piano melody, decorated with light symphony. Imagine the orange glow passing through the windows during dusk. Music with pure beauty.”

“Ух. Какое же сильное произведение, которое с точностью отражает всю глубину сути своего названия. Простая и незамысловатая фортепианная мелодия, украшенная лёгкой симфонией. Только оранжевое зарево за остывающими окнами. Только музыка и обволакивающая красота.”

Sara De Sanctis – Serendipity
(Spotify)

“A sentimental journey taken by a sweet & soulful vocal accompanied by piano with a soft strings backing. Serendipity by Sara De Sanctis is a deeply melancholic play on denial. In that everything said is the opposite from the emotions actually experienced. A beautiful, clever song & a classy performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind this song inspiration"

"I am particularly attached to Serendipity. I wrote it at 5 am after a sleepless night, and the words came out easily. It's about remembrance and denial, it's about rejecting all those thoughts and memories that keep you awake at night. I started singing the melody before rushing to a piano to actually write it down. I remember that at that time I was taking a class in Sondheim's musical analyses, and I believe I was strongly influenced by his songs. One, in particular, was 'The Road You Didn't Take', where everything said in the lyrics is a lie. And that's how I thought about my lyrics." - Sara De Sanctis

https://www.facebook.com/unplayedkey

Born in 1995 in Italy, Sara De Sanctis started playing the piano when she was five years old and became passionate about songwriting and composition during her teenage years. She achieved a Conservatoire Piano Diploma in Italy and in 2017 she graduated in Music at the University of Bristol, after having studied composition and conducting at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, USA. She is currently active as a pianist, singer/songwriter, and composer for media. Inspired by artists such as Aurora, Diana Krall, and Thom Yorke, her style can be defined as a mix of pop and jazz, and it is characterised by soft vocals, evocative piano melodies, and airy synths.

El Gant, Ras Kass, Planet Asia – Chromed Out
(Spotify)

“Wicked rhymes of Hip-Hop suddenly burst out of the speakers and alternate our reality status. El Gant is back and not alone at this time! The result is better than expected and burns like fire. Work with attitude and personal touch.”

-Nagamag.com

It’s been nearly seven years since his previous solo album, but El Gant is back with a banger of a new single, “Chromed Out,” featuring frequent collaborators Ras Kass and Planet Asia, over J57’s hard-hitting production with cuts supplied by DJ Jon Doe.

https://twitter.com/ElGant

To be fair, Gant hasn’t been completely quiet since 2014’s Beast Academy LP. For one, he’s one third of the Jamo Gang with Ras and J57, and they’ve dropped a number of acclaimed projects (peep 2020’s Walking With Lions). But with the release of “Chromed Out,” the NYC rap vet is back on his solo tip to get the world ready for his forthcoming new album, O.S.L.O., which is set to feature Killah Priest, Bobby J From Rockaway, King Magnetic, and more, as well as production supplied by the legendary DJ Premier and Marco Polo, among others.

https://www.instagram.com/elgant

Gant is fired up on this track, spitting equally ferocious and witty bars, like “I’m on a mission/ Half the caucasian rappers I came up in the game with done changed into Peter Griffin.” His two guests, Ras and Planet Asia, are on fire, too, with mean-mugging rhymes that complement J57’s head-nodding and raw instrumental.

“Chromed Out” is available now through all major digital retailers and streaming platforms. Be on the lookout for more info on O.S.L.O., which is due out in the fourth quarter of 2021 through Gant’s own Rule By Secrecy imprint.
