Kisos – wish u were around (feat. Zach Benson)
(Spotify)

“The qualitative level of combining two genres is a commercial sound and melodic Synthpop. A pronounced rhythm-section and explosive energy is a postulate on which the professionalism and talent of performers are located. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Качественный уровень объединения двух жанров — коммерческое звучание и мелодичный Synthpop. Ярко выраженная ритм-секция и взрывная энергетика — это постулат, на котором расположились профессионализм и талант исполнителей.”

-Nagamag.com

Kisos & Zach Benson are bringing wholesome, springtime love (with a hint of drama) to streaming on April 28th with "wish u were around" - produced by Zach and mixed by Kisos. A DIY record capturing growing up while hopefully not growing apart.

The duo met in 2019 through mutual friends soon after Zach moved to NYC and bonded immediately. "When you move away from your partner it's so bittersweet. We wanted to tell the story of a couple who are deeply in love and supportive of each other pursuing their dreams, but share that honest jealousy and fear of losing each other that comes with watching the other person's life change drastically while you're so far away," says Kisos.

The duo are releasing weekly skit episodes that show an inside look into how they're dealing with their long-distance love, and minted some single art postcards to send to early supporters. You can also catch Kisos live in Brooklyn on May 19th (tickets).

MOTEL CLUB – Viens
(Video)

“A creative approach to creating an arrangement in which the spirit of the French Pop genre is felt. The enveloping atmosphere and the specific voice of the vocalist give a very pleasant effect. You are provided with pulsating waves of heat and endorphine under the skin, like flocks of small fish in your personal ocean. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Творческий подход к созданию аранжировки, в которой чувствуется дух жанра French Pop. Обволакивающая атмосфера и специфический голос вокалистки дают очень приятный эффект. Вам обеспечены пульсирующие волны тепла и эндорфина под кожей, словно стаи маленьких рыб в вашем личном океане.”

“Come on!” with its loud and repetitive bass line, instantly projects us into the darkness of a club where the party is in full swing.

Martin Buster – Shitty Tradition
(Spotify)

“Immerse yourself in this bottomless ocean a flurry of emotions and euphoria and enjoy its extraordinary gifts. This is a journey into a stream of sound maze, which helps to completely immerse yourself in an indescribable, deep and such hypnotic atmosphere. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Погрузитесь в этот бездонный океан шквала эмоций и эйфории и насладитесь его необычайными дарами. Это путешествие в поток звукового лабиринта, который помогает целиком погрузиться в непередаваемую, глубокую и такую гипнотическую атмосферу.”

https://www.facebook.com/MartinBuster

Martin Buster is ready with his second single "Shitty Tradition" - a heartfelt and at the same time magnificent indie-pop song that questions the gender traditions of 2022.

The opening line in “Shitty Tradition”

You are better at dancing than I am, but I'm the one who's supposed to lead, “Shitty tradition”

The lyrics of "Shitty Tradition" was written in response to the debate in Denmark about gender equality in the music industry. The list of most played artists on Danish radio had just been published and there were no women in the top 10.

"When I know so many absurdly talented female artists, why are they not played on Danish radio as much as men? It made me, in a bigger picture, think about how my gender has influenced my upbringing and who I have, become as a human being. And at the same time how the traditional gender understandings in these years are being phased out, and that we are on the way to a much higher degree of equality. But the absence of women on the list for most played Danish musicians, shows that there is a long way to go.”

Lerocque – Flatlined
(Spotify)

“Track make thinking, delve into the text, empathize and causes exceptional emotions and associations. Sometimes the song helps to discover something inexplicable, incomprehensible, but such a close, important and necessary one. Elegant Indie Electronic with excellent sound decoration. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Трек заставлять думать, вникать в текст, сопереживать и вызывает исключительные эмоции и ассоциации. Иногда песня помогает открыть в себе нечто необъяснимое, непонятое, но такое близкое, важное и нужное. Элегантная Indie Electronic с прекрасным звуковым оформлением.”

-Nagamag.com

Do you know that feeling? You met someone and you think you two are the best fit the world has ever seen. Well, it can go wrong though. And as life’s a ride you can only ride once, time is quite precious. Flatlined is about not sticking to something that is obviously lost. A happy electro pop song with a deeper meaning.

st.James – Liars
(Spotify)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
Initially a calm track, in which an emotional explosion is closer to the middle! Moderate, but expressive bits, beautiful effects and a memorable chorus and a verse. The melody remains consciousness forever, constantly accompanying you everywhere and everywhere.”

“Изначально спокойный трек, в котором ближе к середине происходит эмоциональный взрыв! Умеренный, но выразительный бит, красивые эффекты и запоминающийся припев и куплет. Мелодия остаётся в сознание навсегда, постоянно сопровождая вас везде и всюду.”

-Nagamag.com

The featured track from the Netflix reality soap Byron Baes

Liars come from within the chaos of “reality”.

Intentionally stepping into the spotlight has highlighted my own hypocrisy and shortcomings, that I've had to publicly face.

I am in a place where my own reality and at times fate moves through the hands of others.

Liars was written in a place of overwhelming isolation and uncertainty about decisions, but also an opportunity to hold onto some of my own narrative.

SAM TOMPKINS – My Brother

SAM TOMPKINS – My Brother
(Video)

“The quickly rising Sam Tompkins drops his new single and sings in a mood of self-confidence. His lyrics express admiration and respect about loved family persons and especially his brother. The sound is clear and has an emotive character as it’s based on a true story.”

-Nagamag.com

One of the fastest rising British male artists of 2022, Sam Tompkins releases the ‘who do you pray to’ EP alongside emotive visuals for new single ‘My Brother’ today.

With a host of stellar singles already released from the EP; including ‘Whole’, ‘Bloodline’ and ‘Hero’; Sam honed his craft across the collection of 7 tracks revealing his unique voice as a songwriter instilled in the narrative arc of his songs.

New single ‘My Brother’ encapsulates his intimate story telling style, as Sam notes; ‘My Brother is really special to me. I love it so much. The origin of it is actually a sad but lovely story. When I was about 18, we lost our Nana and at the funeral we had to read the eulogy. I got about 6 words in before being in floods of tears, my brother read the rest and was so strong. Flash forward to last year when my Papa (Grandpa) passed away and I decided to do the eulogy. Sadly because of covid my brother couldn’t make it as he was working away in Canada. This time I got the whole way through it and I remember getting the text from my brother who watched it through a live stream that I smashed it and I felt so proud because the only way I was able to do it was knowing I was the exact age my brother had stepped up and been brave 5 years prior.”

Sam Tompkins is a force to be reckoned with; following his own critically acclaimed singles, the TikTok trending collaboration with Jnr Choi ‘To The Moon’; a string of viral videos including impressive covers shared via TikTok and grass-roots touring; he has garnered over 11 million monthly listeners on Spotify and amassed a colossal online audience which has grown exponentially over the past year.

The release of this debut body of work is set to cement Sam’s status as one of the year’s most exciting new artists. His music has already been praised by the likes of MTV, Clash, BBC, and Notion; played across BBC Radio 1 by Jack Saunders, Scott Mills, Clara Amfo, Ricky, Melvin and Charlie, and featured on flagship Spotify editorial playlists.

Matching pop touches to a classic feel, he’s often compared to SamFender’s anthemic truth-seeking or Tom Walker’s revelatory autobiography. Yet Sam’s work stands alone and is already scaling mountainous heights. His music digs deep, explores the key topics in his life and communicates emotions we all feel, but sometimes can’t put into words.

Elton John and Shawn Mendes are fans, pop phenomenon Bebe Rexha has co-signed his work, while Justin Bieber is a prominent supporter. The two recently hung out in LA, while a video of Justin singing Sam’s single ‘Whole’ has gained more than 2 million views –and counting. Closer to home, JayKae jumped onstage on Sam’s last tour, and renowned UK artists Krept & Konan, Chip and Clean Bandit are fans.

Such a broad spread of support simply represents his audience as a whole; there’s a literal army of TikTok followers moving alongside him, with Sam amassing almost a half million followers on Instagram –that’s more than some very established artists. In fact, he already has more Instagram followers than some winners at the BRITs last year.

Selling out every venue he puts his name against, Sam’s live prowess stretches across Europe. Next month Sam will be one of the first UK artists to tour Europe in a bus since the pandemic hit as he heads out on a mammoth European tour, containing a packed out Kentish Town Forum date on the 8th April.

From his humble beginnings busking on the streets of Brighton, EP‘who do you pray to?’ is set to continue Sam’s momentum and rise on the international pop stage.

TIMEBELLE -`96

TIMEBELLE -`96
(Video)

“”96″ tells the story of a child who reaches maturity and cannot find his place in this big, scary world. The gentle, sensual voice of the singer in combination with the beautiful piano melody and rhythm, evoke the most genuine feelings and thoughts.”

“Песня повествует историю ребенка, который достигает зрелости и не может найти своё место в этом большом, страшном мире. Нежный, такой чувственный голос вокалистки, красивая мелодия пиано и ритм вызывают самые искренние, неподдельные чувства и эмоции.”

-Nagamag.com

After a pandemic that severely hit the artists, keeping them away from the stage, the song ‘96, written by Runa and produced by Andy Platon, is the result of a heavy state of pain caused by the war between Russia and Ukraine.

https://www.instagram.com/timebelle/

“’96 tells the story of a child who reaches maturity and fails to find his place in this big, scary world. It is a foreign world to him, full of rules and pressure that force him to deny his true personality and to embrace superficial, petty, material values ​​that have nothing to do with him.

‘96 is not a year chosen randomly, it is the year in which Ukraine gave up the last nuclear warhead in exchange for Russia’s promise of never attacking Ukraine. The betrayed adult, who now lives in the real world, where people are constantly hurting and betraying each other, wants to go back in time to correct this mistake made in ’96, which today created this apocalyptic scenario, “says Runa.

The video, made by Leonid Cojocaru, follows the same narrative thread, of a world that has come to an end, destroyed by human nature, which sometimes can have such a harmful dimension.

The filming took place in Chisinau, in a setting that mimics a state of conflict very well, more precisely in an abandoned factory and a deserted field, to which were added apocalyptic images, processed through graphics.

“Besides the heavy and dark atmosphere, we froze as usual from the cold, which became very normal for us, if we think that in another video I had to film in a lake that did not have a temperature higher than 7 degrees. I hope you like what came out, listen to the song and buy it, it is a simple way to help those affected by war from the comfort of your home. ”

Timebelle believes that music heals, and through the new single – “’96” – they want to heal souls, but also to bring their financial support to those who had to leave their homes, their lives and everything behind.

They have many memories of Kyiv, the city where they sang for the whole world, when they represented Switzerland at Eurovision in 2017, with the song “Apollo”, which went viral in Asia, garnered tens of millions of views on YouTube and is still enjoying success abroad. Now Kyiv, that beautiful city with hospitable people, is struggling to survive.

All revenue from the song ’96 ‘will be donated to the refugees in Ukraine.
