Graham Coe – Here I Am (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Rock, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“An emotional, melodic spiritual folk tune with a finger-picked acoustic guitar accompaniment, a soft, hopeful main male vocal with soothing, soulful harmony vocals, & a mandolin type lead instrument. The song has a distinctive Irish ballad feel to it & will appeal to lovers of mellow music with meaningful lyrics.”

-Nagamag.com

"Here I Am" is soul searching and spiritual and can be described as a choral folk ballad with soft vocal harmonies and a soothing acoustic accompaniment. Think Nick Cave meets John Martyn with some mellow Simon and Garfunkel thrown in for good measure.The song is emotive, thought-provoking and meaningful and has echoes of a childhood influenced by church music and singing in the picturesque landscape of West Wicklow.

It was recorded and produced by Sean Corcoran of Bikini Island studios, Dublin. Graham has been avidly writing and recording and is looking forward to releasing more original music.

Erik Frank – Let Go Of You (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , |

“With a nickname like ‘Melody Genius’ Erik Frank has a lot to live up to with his new track ‘Let Go Of You’ & he does not disappoint. A blend of R&B Pop & Hip Hop, the deep, rich, melodic vocals are in a word superb. The orchestral arrangement is world class, the staccato violins at times reminiscent of ‘Eleanor Rigby’ and the lyrics are as you would expect poetic. A top notch production from a top notch artist. ”

From a small village to the top radio charts, ERIK FRANK has amassed over 100% million streams and is a uniquely talented singer/songwriter.

Nicknamed Melody Genius by Grammy Nominated producer Jayson DeZuzio (Imagine Dragons), and anyone Erik works with, the 22-year-old had humble beginnings.

Born in village of just 200 people, the idea of becoming a star was the very definition of a long shot. Getting out wasn’t easy. Moving from Spain to France, the U.K. and finally landing the U.S., Erik’s formative years and global experience began to permeate his music. His blend of R&B, Pop and Hip Hop is as unique as the countries he’s lived in.

Chrystal Für – Memory Of A Fading Home (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Neoclassical, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“It was a dark, rainy night. The moon, like a cold light source, illuminates the noisy streets of the city. Empty road ringing silence and black-and-white picture of the field from the broken asphalt. The melodic composition -Memory Of A Fading Home- is full of stuffy and atmospheric colours for a particular mood.”

“Была тёмная, дождливая ночь. Луна, словно холодный источник света, освещает шумные улицы города. Пустые дороги звенящей тишины и чёрно-белая картина полей из разбитого асфальта. -Memory Of A Fading Home- это мелодичная композиция в душных и атмосферных тонах для особого настроения.”

-Nagamag.com

Chrystal Für’s upcoming album Elusion (out 5/28) is an elegy to the cycle of loss, acceptance, and the promise of restored life. Christopher Vibberts' reflective piano interweaves with droning waves of sound and intermittent shards of static that is equal parts nostalgia and hope.

The music operates in a mind-frame occupied by like-minded artists Colin Stetson, Christopher Willits, and Tangerine Dream, with slow-moving pulses, orchestral flourishes, and ambient ebbs and flows, including an unforgettable 11-minute collaboration with Belgium's Echo Collective.

To kick off May, Vibberts has released the new single “Memory of a Fading Home” -- a reflective, almost Max Richter-esque piece led by piano and subtle orchestral support. He’s finalizing a video that was shot in Guanajuato, Mexico too, where he was living when he first began recording as Chrystal Für.

Ben Phipps – On My Own (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Electronica, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Song charges the sincerity and sensitivity. -Ben Phipps- shares in his composition -On My Own- bright optimistic, selfless kindness and genuine love. Such simple sensations that are lacking in our times.”

“Песня заряжающая своей искренностью и чувственностью. -Ben Phipps- делится в своей композиции -On My Own- светлым оптимизмом, бескорыстной добротой и искренней любовью. Именно таких простых ощущений и не хватает в наши времена.”

-Nagamag.com

‘On My Own’ is the fourth single from Ben Phipps’ upcoming album, ‘Picking Up The Pieces’.

“The song is about trying to break free from the ideals that others set for us. It’s about getting rid of that feeling of never living up to a certain standard – of not being good enough – and going your own way instead.”

On My Own is just a sample of what’s to come: 2020’s global pandemic allowed Ben to work in isolation, and ‘Picking Up The Pieces’ is the result of that time.

http://benphipps.co

In early 2021, Ben will release his highly anticipated debut album, ‘Picking Up The Pieces’. “Personal traumas smashed me to bits and making this album was, quite literally, me picking up the pieces”. 2020’s global pandemic allowed him to work in isolation, exactly the environment he prefers to create in. The first single, ‘You Won’t Be Sorry’ marks the turning point in Ben’s story: “I can taste it, we got something good in store”. The album takes you on a twisted road down into the darkness with ‘Alone’ and ‘Close’, but leaves you in the warm sunshine with ‘Found Myself’. It’s gritty and intense but also light and uplifting: Ben’s captured every color of the rainbow somewhere in there.

“Maybe I’m crazy, but I like being crazy”, Ben writes. It takes a certain kind of crazy to create meaningful art, and that’s exactly what ‘Picking Up The Pieces’ is. The album is true to his trademark style, but with a fresh take, a new lease on life. Check it out streaming everywhere starting January 29.

Ben Phipps is hard at work expanding his creative universe to produce, as he calls it, “better everything”. Straddling genres from indie dance to pop and deep house, Ben is quickly carving out a name for himself from his adopted Southern California home. With his combination of business acumen and musical hunger, his hit single 'I Don't Think So' has garnered over 25 million streams on Spotify alone.

https://www.facebook.com/benphippsmusic/

An entrepreneur by trade, Ben built a successful career in his native Sweden before selling up and shipping out to pursue his passion for music. A few years – and more than a few trashed productions – later, Ben released his first original song. ‘Fireproof’ kicked things off, and it’s been a steep upward curve from there. But don’t let the music fool you. Ben’s as much of a businessman as he is a musician, as evidenced by his success to date without any major label input. Ben has turned down more than one six-figure major label record deal, and he releases his music through his own label: 14 & 9 Records.

https://twitter.com/BenPhipps

By focusing on lyrics of substance and blending them with his trademark productions – think bouncing basslines at around 110bpm mixed with smooth melodic vocals and a marimba here and there – Ben has created his own sound, and the world is starting to take notice. He’s currently signed with industry powerhouse CAA and, at the time of writing, has over 40 million streams on Spotify. Ben has charted on iTunes in more than 30 countries, landed national US airplay on SiriusXM, and enjoyed extensive TV placements: Netflix’s smash hit ‘You’, primetime giant ‘Pretty Little Liars’, and Google commercials, to name a few.

SILKIN – Remember Me (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“A very catchy, lightweight, unobtrusive melancholy in -Remember Me-. The idea is very smart, a successful combination of melodic and romantic mood. Crystal clear sound, captivating melodies and charming vocals by -Hanna Kim-.”

“Лёгкая, ненавязчивая меланхолия в -Remember Me- очень цепляет. Идея очень шикарная, удачное совмещение мелодичности и романтического настроя. Кристально чистое звучание, цепляющая мелодия и очаровательный вокал -Hanna Kim-.”

-Nagamag.com

A native of Los Angeles, SILKIN is Hanna Kim, a Pop/R&B singer and songwriter, and self-taught producer who counts Boys II Men, Norah Jones, and NIKI among her biggest influences.

She released her first single, “Cold,” in 2017 and joined Go For Gold Music Group in 2019.

With previous releases SILKIN has surpassed over 500 000 streams across platforms, and they’ve been featured on the playlist "FEELS" by Apple Music, and official Spotify playlists "Fresh Finds", "Fresh Finds: Pop", "New Music Friday" and "New Hip Hop and R&B". She has also been supported worldwide by tastemakers such as popmuzik, CaesarLivenLoud, The Word is Bond, Tha Produce Section and more.

SILKIN describes “Remember Me” as a reflection on how we spend so much time and share so many experiences with our partners, and once a relationship comes to an end, we become strangers. In her own words: "It’s a weird phenomenon and I couldn’t wrap my brain around it. We all go through it and it’s absolutely heartbreaking each time. We don’t want to forget them and we don’t want to be forgotten." The emotional vocals from SILKIN with the smooth Pop/Contemporary R&B vibe in the production makes for an intriguing listening experience.

Mob Rich – Made To Fall (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , |

“Quite strong song with huge inspiration from life aspects and everyday issues, which almost all have to face. To be released very soon in the debut album of "Mob Rich", we can already consider it a successful piece of work.”

-Nagamag.com

Alt-pop duo Mob Rich gifts their fans with a new song, “Made To Fall,” ahead of their debut album release next month—listen HERE.
https://mobrich.lnk.to/MadeToFallPR

“Made To Fall” is the latest track to be released ahead of Why No Why on May 14th—pre-order the album now HERE.
https://mobrich.lnk.to/WhyNoWhyPR

On “Made To Fall,” Mob Rich grapples with existential thoughts and questions that so many people can relate to – something that has become signature in their songwriting – making life’s big questions seem more relatable and easier to talk about.

Mob Rich says, “This song is a result of so many conversations we’ve had with each other about our fears and doubts as we navigate our lives. It’s really about the questions of whether we start out flawed and pre-disposed towards certain pathways and behavior or whether we break along the way. While we both think that the truth lies somewhere in between those two things, this song is a result of us sitting with that question and trying to come up with the answer for ourselves.”

Earlier this spring, the duo dropped their first two singles off the album, “Everything and Nothing” and “Hell Yeah.” Beyond The Stage Magazine declared, “Mob Rich got us feeling like a million bucks with this new, bouncy track,” while Gig Goer described the music as “a slick blend of melancholy pop” and Mystic Sons called it “pop-rock delight.”

Mob Rich has amassed over 50 million-plus streams to date and received praise from Billboard, Funny Or Die, Noisey, Alt Press, Ones To Watch, and many more, with People recently proclaiming, “Mob Rich are creating ‘new anthems for the outcast.’” Following their album release this spring, the band will return to live touring this fall—first up is Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival in Las Vegas this September with more festivals and dates to be announced soon.

ABOUT MOB RICH

The music of Mob Rich (formerly Moby Rich) is an invitation. As much as the alt-pop duo’s sound owes to the specific otherworldly chemistry shared by Los Angeles transplants Maxwell Joseph and Connor Pledger, the charming melancholy, adventurous soundscapes, and big hooks they conjure are built for everyone. Mob Rich makes intimate and bold music destined to build a broader community with kindred spirits. These are new anthems for the outcast. The band’s full-length debut, Why No Why, is a collection of conversations in musical form, draped in an effervescent atmosphere. Careening between wry observations and sharply optimistic affirmations, Mob Rich demonstrates a commitment to artistic authenticity on the record, on the stage, and screens big and small. Straightforward hooks, with flourishes of grand theatricality, collide with existential themes and joyful whimsy. As people and musicians, Connor and Maxwell examine humankind’s inherent need for belonging, the seemingly overwhelming obstacles of anxiety and depression, and feelings of ostracization and “otherness.” The confessional nature of Mob Rich’s songs, combined with darkly comedic self-awareness, is immersive and pure. Substream Magazine observed, “there’s both a carefree attitude and some serious life discussions peppered in.” Emotional honesty and a keen sense of humor are vital pieces of the Mob Rich puzzle. The duo draws favorable comparisons to Tame Impala and early MGMT. A rhythmic punch like TØP and a swagger akin to Oasis intermingle in Mob Rich. They count Grandson, Broods, and Bishop Briggs among their collaborators and comrades. Already a staple of tastemaker playlists and radio formats with buzzing singles “Get High” and “Yoko Ono,” Mob Rich joined the Republic Records roster via the seasoned A&R maverick behind Ariana Grande and The Weeknd. Big bass and bigger drums are almost always part of the soundscape, with rich diversity built over the top of it. It was inevitable that, given the bond forged by Maxwell and Connor, Mob Rich would explore duality. They’re optimistic that the comfort and confidence they’ve found in shared strengths and complementary differences will provoke and inspire. It’s a phenomenon they’ve already witnessed in their short career and hope to expand.

“Light Jazz song with very meaningful lyrics and crystal clear singing. If you're one of those who don't use to immitate others and your personality is strong enough to make independent choices, then "Want" is what you really want!”

Want - Is a song about how we don' t all have to agree to get along - This is relevant especially in today's climate -

People think others need to agree with them or see things their way and that's not always possible or relevant .
