“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.”

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.”

“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.”

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.

-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

Categories: Features, Pop, Pop Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , |

“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

Categories: Features, Pop, Pop Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , , , |

“”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.

Blastique – A Million Lies

“The vocals here, work like an icy waterfall falling on your shoulders. Be sure that you will not have enough time to catch your breath, as the mind-blowing Trip-Hop rhythms will drive you crazy. No one can resist in the incredible power of "A Million Lies".”

“Голос словно ледяной водопад обрушивается на ваши плечи и будьте уверены, что у вас не хватит времени перевести дух, так как умопомрачительные ритмы trip-hop сведут вас с ума. Трек, который обладает невероятной силой и нет никого, кто сможет устоять перед его мощью!”

-Nagamag.com

Washing off a friend’s blood, after rescuing her from a brutal beating by her abusive boyfriend.

This image lies at the heart of “A Million Lies,” the groundbreaking debut single by Zoal.

This bedroom angst pop from Malaysia’s Generation Z combines the soaring highs of Radiohead and raw emotion of Post Malone.

The song tackles a taboo subject matter using stark language rarely heard before in Malaysian pop.

"A Million Lies is a song I made after a really tragic event that happened to a close friend. I wrote this song to remind her of her worth after an abusive relationship. It can be really hard to leave your abuser, especially when you only see the good in them. But even the worst criminal has at least a little good in them. I hope if someone in a similar situation finds this song, they could realize that fixing someone is out of your control — and the sooner you leave, the sooner you'll recover, just like my friend. One year later she found a new love who treats her right, and she is the happiest I've seen,” recounts Zoal, who was born and raised in Kuala Lumpur.

The story behind its production reflects the revolution in music that has allowed young stars like Bille Ellish to produce lush hit records in their bedrooms.

Zoal, a 20-year-old culinary college student, took a recording of the lyrics he wrote to producer Reuben “Blastique” Samuel at Kuala Lumpur’s Mile High Sounds.

They built up the simple recording into a moody, infectious song with a pop structure and haunting melody.

Samuel, who produces and performers under the stage name “Blastique”, said he used 16 falsetto tracks to recreate the feeling of a chamber choir, using off axis microphone techniques.

Zoal initially hired Samuel as a producer, but the young singer was so intrigued by the process of transforming his thin vocal recording into a lush professional track that he is studying how to use Ableton music production software at Mile High Sounds. Samuel is the only certified Ableton instructor in Malaysia.

Local designer Alex Krasnikov made the cyber punk album art, set on a Kuala Lumpur bridge, based on a sketch by Zoal.

"A Million Lies” by Zoal and Blastique is available on all streaming platforms starting February 5, 2021.

“"Sworr." have put in order Indie and Trip-Hop elements and the result can exceed your expectations. The single starts smoothly with wide pads and calm vocals, progressing slowly for the first two minutes. The beat is strong and its percussion blows up in a faster and more uplifting finale. Truly surprising work!”

“Rain Orange” is the third single from Sworr.’s upcoming album. Written on a rooftop during a rainy day’s sunset, this electronic/alt pop song’s atmospheric intro with the distinctive vocal bassline and the spoken words, leads to a verse with a uniquely beautiful vocal melody. The dominant vocoder effect in the bridge that follows, leads to the track’s peak. An uplifting second part where the beat gets busier, while the lyrics interpret the restart after accepting our evolution.

Throughout their illustrious career, the name Krewella has become known for hard-hitting and yet emotionally charged music. True to form, the Jahan and Yasmine sisters’ new body of work – “The Body Never Lies” is a shining example of their signature sound and artistic direction. After releasing singles “Never Been Hurt” with BEAUZ, “No Control” with MADGRRL, and “I’m Just A Monster Underneath, My Darling,” Krewella has unveiled the full 10-track masterpiece. The album was created from an intimate, internal space of Krewella’s self-reflection, exploring impermanence, the oddity of human experience, their relationship to the world around them as women in a male-dominated society. “The Body Never Lies” title hints at the range of emotions within the LP, with each track as unique and varied as our feelings themselves. “Traces” serves as a haunting opener, quickly followed by a series of heavier tracks, including the drum & bass-inspired “In The Water” and the angry yet touching “War Forever.” Krewella hits a different vibe with the last three tracks, which explore the darker and more tender side of the human experience. After a long wait for this highly anticipated album, to say that Krewella has done it again with “The Body Never Lies” would be an understatement. The album’s release coincides with their upcoming 2022 album-themed tour, which covers 2+ months of live shows and DJ sets, hitting cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Denver, and more.

“The clench of a fist, the pit in your stomach, the fluid in your veins; the body is a sensor, messenger, keeper of stories, a fortress of the soul, an instrument of knowing, a rocket ship to other worlds. Every cell, pore, and bone recalls the past, absorbs the present, and senses the future. ‘The Body Never Lies’ is at times an angry, sometimes feverish, but always a euphoric conversation about feeling, remembering, and existing in our individual vessels that encase our soul and memories.” – Krewella

Sisters Jahan and Yasmine exploded onto the scene in 2012 with their debut self-released EP “Play Hard,” which has now been streamed almost 150M times on Spotify alone; additionally, their single “Alive” from the EP has been certified Platinum. Since then, the duo has made a name for themselves and their hard-hitting yet melodic and vocal-driven sound through releases like “Live for the Night,” “Enjoy the Ride,” and more. In 2016, Krewella was awarded a coveted place on Forbes’s “30 Under 30” list. They have performed at major global music festivals, including Coachella, Lollapalooza, EDC Las Vegas, Ultra Music Festival, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and many others, in addition to their own headlining tours. As one of the main elements of the Krewella canon, the group’s onstage performances serve as the live extension of their music and art, incorporating a multitude of audiovisual elements together with Jahan and Yasmine’s live vocals and powerful onstage energy.
