Known for his baritone vocal and big chorus’, his first momentum-accelerating single titled “Drown” was released in 2017, produced by Jonny Coffer (Beyoncé, Emile Sandé) & Mark Crew (Bastille, Rag N Bone man), and co-written with goliath songwriter Jamie Scott (Jesse Ware, Ed Sheeran, One Direction, Justin Bieber).

The track was picked up by the head music supervisor at EA and playlisted on the FIFA 18 soundtrack, catapulting Kovic into the biggest gaming placement of the year, notably joining the top 50 viral Spotify charts across a number of EU countries, and gaining millions of streams within months of release.

The debut album for Kovic is due to be released later this year, and will feature a contrasting combination of songs ranging from soulfully haunting balad, to summer infused pop. Among an A-star list cast of creative collaborators, it will also feature a number tracks self-produced and written alongside rising talent and brother Ben Kovic.

(Spotify)

“Dont get deceived from the first 20seconds "I.W.Y.T.F.M.W.Y.H." from Hans Hella is not your next chill song, quite the opposite as unleash a strong synthpop energy and beautiful vocals full of retro vibes and through a bit melancholic atmosphere. A track to hit on before go out for a wild night. "I.W.Y.T.F.M.W.Y.H. is a reimagining of a lost Billy Idol song - it tells the story of a bizarre night spent at the Chelsea Hotel and all of its endless possibilities."”

-Nagamag.com

Growing up on a steady diet of synth-pop, post-punk, and emo, Hans Hella is a veteran New York-based singer/songwriter turned producer who records his unique blend of alternative pop in seclusion.

Betty Moon – The Liar
(Spotify)

“Picking the 7th track, "The Liar" from Betty Moon's new album "Little Miss Hollywood? on Evolver Music Inc, a song which starts with strong beats and wonderful bassline before wide and with depth vocals of Betty Moon show up to sparkle the right synhpop emotions, a solid synthwavish atmosphere with melacholic retro vibes here.”

-Nagamag.com

Betty Moon, the Southern California based songwriter, producer and larger than life persona has unveiled the new album ‘Little Miss Hollywood’. The album kicks off with the energetic, pop/rock infused title track, which is another proof of Moon’s ability to blend pop and her rock n’ roll roots with arena-worthy riffs and stellar production paired with Moon’s unforgettable voice. ‘Little Miss Hollywood’ as an album gives the listener a bit of everything Moon has been known for, including layers of electronic, indie, funk and dance energy. The 10 song release was made available on Spotify and Apple Music on Friday, July 31st.

Album Tracklisting:
1. Little Miss Hollywood
2. Did It For Nothing
3. Your Dirty Love
4. How Do You Like Me Now
5. Don’t Stop Now **
6. Monsters In My Head
7. The Liar
8. All He Is
9. Find A Love
10. Take Me Downtown

“Monsters In My Head” and “Don’t Stop Now” are a welcome return to form for old school Betty Moon fans, who have experienced her metamorphosis of previous straight up rock singles on past records to inclusion of a refreshing pop/electronic sensibility on recent 2019 tracks like “Save My Soul” and “Violent City”. Choice tracks on ‘Little Miss Hollywood’ such as “Your Dirty Love” and “Did It For Nothing” take the tempo down as she struts her soul-fueled influences before turning things back up with her now widely-known pop/electronic sound on “Little Miss Hollywood” and “The Liar”. Moon has been in the studio for most of 2020 and has completed dozens of ideas with 10 being included on the ‘Little Miss Hollywood’.

“The opening riff was penned to catch listeners off guard, and to perhaps impress some of my old school fans who thought I wasn’t writing enough rock riffs” says Moon about ‘Don’t Stop Now’. “The funny thing is that I’ve always been into different types of music, but this time around I was feeling the world didn’t have enough edgy rock going around, so I’m here to deliver. The lockdown has allowed me plenty of time to write dozens of additional songs and put the final touches on this EP along with others, I have so many stories to tell on these songs.”

Since being signed to a major label in the 90’s, Betty Moon has been known as a queen of DIY work ethic and has since self-released 9 albums via her own label Evolver Music, Inc. Her most recent release was 2019’s ‘Hellucination’ and her music has earned media coverage from Huffington Post, Billboard, Alternative Nation, LA Times, Stencil Magazine, Exclaim!, Vents, Side Stage Magazine, Spill Magazine, Tattoo.com and much more. Moon has continued to defy industry trends, earning worldwide retail airplay, online and college radio rotation and record numbers via over 10,000 Spotify followers, 1.6M+ Facebook fans and over 50,000 followers on Instagram.

Moon’s music draws influence from underground sounds ranging from rock, soul, punk rock, electronic and electro-pop soaked with aggressive, empowering, yet somehow soothing, electrifying the listener with it’s big bold energy. Moon wrote, produced and mixed LMH, which continues to inject genuine sex appeal, soulful vocal prowess and massive production all the while experimenting with new sounds and modern genre trends. The single “Don’t Stop Now” was also released as a standalone single, titled “Dead out of Love” last month alongside her ‘Translucent’ EP.

andrei – World Away – Andrei Remix
(Spotify)

“A wonderful vocal synthwave track for all the retro hunters out there. World Away Remix by Andrei synth layering touches with the sweet warm vocals of Vanela which tickles your ears gives you quick back all the innocence of 80s. ”

-Nagamag.com

Andrei Busuioceanu first met Vanela while touring the UK with his band, RDGLDGRN, back in 2013. They sparked a connection through their mutual love for European Pop, a genre which they are both heavily influenced by; Vanela being Italian and Andrei, Romanian. In February, Vanela released her debut single ‘World Away’, a sweet yet quirky pop song about long distance love. Andrei had the idea to transform it with a synth-wave feel, particularly inspired by the soundtrack from the movie ‘Drive’. The remix brings out the depth of the lyrics and takes the listener on a retro yet futuristic journey. This collaboration may be unexpected but it’s the nostalgic dive we need right now.

Andrei Busuioceanu’s musical portfolio has never quite fit into any category. From electronic, to indie and hip-hop, the Romanian-born artist has been bending genres in the same ways his biggest influences taught him. A member of RDGLDGRN, alternative hip-hop group championed by fellow Virginians Pharrell Williams and Dave Grohl, Andrei branches out with his solo project, exploring a unique sound.

Raligator – Popping Dreams With Broken Beliefs
(Video)

“The music you want to listen in the end of a full day, to relax and engage good dreams before get sleep, a wonderful chillwave from Raligator with beautiful harmonies and soft atmosphere.”

-Nagamag.com

Phasing out of the shadows, no apparent paper trail, no records, no fax, no BBM, no TikTok profile, no Snapchat. Raligator emerges with just music. No social media tags are needed here, you won’t find it. Raligator comes and goes, like the mail man, only with enchanting electronic records instead of Yankee Candles and unpaid bills. The first in a data dump coming in the months ahead, we get a preview into the soundscapes on offer from ‘Popping Dreams With Broken Beliefs’ – a hybrid Chill-Out meets Synthwave meets classic Balearic sunsets and 80s inspiration all in one.

Swirling absorbing pads twist through the sonic spectrum before intensifying into a crescendo that hails a deep and dense sub bass that swells forward in natural waves of seismic vibrations. Raligator holds a prolific signature sound, contrasting between Downtempo tendencies, more abstract Electronica forms and that central core that always roots somewhere close to a traditional Electronic music genre. This one harks back to classic Balearic Chill-Out, whilst also conjuring Synthwave spirits from the vintage melodic leads. There is euphoria to be found in the angelic vocal which stacks a beautiful chord progression that is absolutely fused with precision to the bass. These elements when stacked all at the same time make the magic moments in the track, with the main chorus section being one of those phrases that you just want to loop and loop to drift away.

The accompanying official video is a machine gun of colour provoking introspection, confusion, maybe even a warped and hyper-coloured meditation. Filled with subliminal communications, there is a sequence and code hidden inside the complexity and insanity of the video’s elements. We’ve not worked it out yet – but we’re nearly sure that there are words of wisdom to be found if one is patient or curious enough to resolve the messages and piece together the riddle.

‘Popping Dreams With Broken Beliefs’ will be dropping in September.
