After releasing her debut single "Too Late" just last month, the multitalented LA-based DJ/producer Sam Blacky returns with her follow-up release "Body," a smoldering vocal house track that was inspired by Sam's world travels. Opening with beats that call to mind a frenzied tribal drum circle, Blacky incorporates ethereal vocals for a touch of complexity and contrast. When the deep, driving bassline kicks in, you'll be taken to a beachside set in Mexico as the sun is going down and the dancefloor is heating up. "Body" perfectly reflects Sam's "A New World" video series, which includes her most recent upload from Sian Ka'an, a picturesque secluded peninsula in Mexico.

"'Body' was 100% inspired by my love of travel & tropical, foreign destinations. Obviously, before COVID, what seems like so long ago, I would be in a different country almost every weekend and get exposed to all sorts of new styles of music. I took it all in like a sponge, I was obsessed with every new song I heard & I couldn't believe how different all the sounds were. I collected bits and pieces from all over the world to culminate my own sound & take different aspects from every place I had been and combine them all together. The song went through tons of rounds of changes and edits because every time I would come home from another trip, I would have something more to add. I hope it comes across in the work, because it truly was inspired by the world." - Sam Blacky

Jessie Spartano – Are You Mad? (Spotify)

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

“Do you prefer Hip-Hop? If yes, this is far from the usual sound. Stunning vocal performance from a female artist who has the ability to shape the sound of her voice! Are you mad? Warning; This track is possible to drive you crazy.”

-Nagamag.com

Already drawing the attention of A&R's around the country for singles due to come out later this year, Jessie Spartano is starting to earn lofty comparisons being called "the female version of NF." Jessie wants to be a female representative for rappers that addresses deeper topics than some of her female rapping peers. This first song "Are You Mad," is doing exactly that. Mental health spans from anxiety, to self-hate, to suicidal thoughts. It can silently creep into so many of our lives. The best way to fight these so-often unaddressed killers is to bring these conversations and thought into the open. This is Jessie's attempt to do so in her life.

Colour Tongues – Wasted (Spotify)

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

“The song -Wasted- contains a balanced tempo, pleasant bass and one tone vocal echo quartet -Colour Tongues-. Sparkling blister base, warm chillwave synthesizers and indie rock atmosphere.”

“Песня -Wasted- содержит в себе размеренный темп, приятный бас и одинокое вокальное эхо квартета -Colour Tongues-. Прочная блюзовая основа, тёплые синтезаторы chillwave и атмосфера инди-рока.”

-Nagamag.com

“Wasted” is the first track from our upcoming debut LP Midnight Island. Think of “Wasted” as an electric dream… flowing through you with a sense of hope, warmth, and belonging.

Produced in collaboration with the brilliant Matt di Pomponio, who will burst into the room and shout something like “Ok! Here’s what we are going to do: James is going to wrap a frayed patch cable around an old telephone, face north, and bite a pretzel into a microphone!” And yes...that is buried in the track somewhere.

Each of us has our own story of living through a powerful, but toxic relationship. The moment you realize that you deserve better, you reclaim your agency and the whole world opens up again—like when you were a child or a teenager discovering things for the first time. Once you know it, you can’t turn back.

What’s next is anyone’s guess, but for now life is an adventure again— and it’s all yours. Embodied in the lyric “Finding the sun means you need to leave home”, this track takes you on a trip of romantic nostalgia, forcing you to look deep and look ahead -- to find your own sun, wherever that might take you.

We’ll see you on the journey

“-Emunah- is pure neo-classical minimalism. With repeated and slightly varied patterns, developing an attitude that is perceived by the ear right away. -Emunah- is a way to express the author's personality and the freedom of being.”

In August 2013, Zachary released his debut album, Before the Rain, which reached #37 on the New Age charts. Kathy Parsons, of MainlyPiano.com called the collection of original solo piano pieces “amazing music and an extraordinary beginning to a very promising career in music.” After being introduced to piano lessons at age 6, music composition almost instantly caught Zachary’s interest. And it wasn’t long before he was attempting to scribble down melodies and riffs onto homemade staff-paper. While composition came naturally to Zach, it took the constant encouragement of family and friends to finally persuade him to record his first album of his original compositions. Finally, after over 4 years of practicing, composing, and putting the final touches on the pieces, Zachary released his debut album of 12 original piano solos out into the world. The album would be titled, Before the Rain (2013). It did not take long before he saw an interest for his music, and a year later, he released his second album, Dawn Light (2014), which was promptly nominated and awarded 2015 Album of the Year by Whisperings Solo Piano Radio (2016). Zachary is currently working on his third solo piano album scheduled for release in late fall of 2018.
