“”OLI” shares her deep emotional thoughts with us via her beautiful single. We all have experienced moments of sadness which made us cry, but after the rain, the Sun shines again. Dream Pop creation based on a sensitive voice and really supportive lyrical content.”

Continuing a run of graceful and deeply emotive singles, London based singer/songwriter OLI releaseS ‘Cry’. followed by a video by Gabrielle Salonga and Heini Sussane. Salonga has also created the surreal new visuals, artwork and photos for OLI’s current releases.
Beginning with OLI’s irresistible vocals and gently crescendoing synths, ‘Cry’ implores the therapeutic benefits of crying to help make sense of our problems. “I specifically wanted ‘Cry’ to focus on that numb feeling, when you’re unable to even process your emotions and let them go.” OLI explains, “The constant back and forth of knowing something isn’t right inside but wanting to keep going and not seem weak. I’ve always felt crying in general is underappreciated.”
As the song builds, we hear and feel the sense of relief and release that crying provides. OLI says: “The second half of the song is describing how good you feel after. How things really can become clearer in your head if you allow yourself to let it out and stop judging yourself for it.”
OLI’s world of lush, ethereal soundscapes; expansive and inspired visual perspectives, and ingenious, non-conformist alt-pop songwriting has earnt her critical acclaim as well as some extensive support on streaming services. Her last single ‘Don’t Give Up’ saw her gaining ground around the world, including a top 5 placement in the Taiwanese alternative chart.
OLI always knew she was going to be an artist. She moved to London from New Jersey aged 2, and her exceptionally musical family always encouraged her to be creative. “Whenever I would complain about being bored as a child, my mum would tell me to go and create something – so me and my sister would come up with songs and little shows.” She recalls writing her first song at just 7 years old, and grew up in a household filled with music, soaking up influences as diverse as Sade and Dion Warwick to bands like Stereophonics, Supergrass, Razorlight, as well as Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. With such a contrasting collection of music to grow up on, it’s easy to see why her own sound is so idiosyncratic.
‘Cry’, like all of OLI’s output to date, is co-written and produced by legendary producer Benny D (Stormzy, Boy George, Kylie, Plan B, Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith, Depeche Mode). Benny has also helped to facilitate OLI’s forthcoming collaboration with Depeche Mode’s Dave Gahan, due for release in January. More details will be announced soon.

“"Fantasy" has an Afro-fusion magic which you shouldn't miss. It smartly matches acoustic with electronic elements, the mix sounds crystal and that singing duo can keep you there until the last second. Very bright result and surely valuable collaboration too.”

We tried to fuse “Afro-pop” with “RnB” and we came up with this “Afro-fusion” genre song. “Fantasy” is basically about couples who can’t be together, so it’s easier to share their imaginations (Fantasies) with their partner, just another way of connection. Sometimes you just need to leave your reality and get into a new dimension.
Also this is Thandi Marie first ever single collab, she got more coming.

“Optimal balance and harmony in sound combined with lyrics. Everything you need is follow the song, which has the power to isolate you from nasty reality in an effective way. Very expressive emotional heat, coming from incredibly artistic work!”
“Оптимальный баланс и гармония в сочетании текста с музыкой. Всё, что нужно, это следовать за песней, которая своей харизмой и энергетикой способна отдалить от реальности на максимально возможное расстояние. Очень выразительный эмоциональный накал, невероятно сильная работа!”

“We just love her voice and how it reverbs through this track. She speaks from the heart of this technically advanced ultraclean electronica pop interpretation. It has a danceable element to it and could move crowds in the right environment. Quality production and execution all around. ”

Artist shared few words behind this song inspiration with Nagamag:
"I produced and wrote the song and lyrics a 100% by myself. The lyrics are about a hard time which i had in my life in the past. I put so much love from myself in this song to make it as emotional as possible in this genre. I hope it comes across for you too."

“”Cégiu” has managed to capture a spiritual power in this Folk production. Psychedelic soundscapes are combined with influensive lyrics. The overall progression is slow and a kind of mystic atmosphere is strongly presented. Don’t miss this experience.”

The hauntingly beautiful piece “Glowing Goodbyes” is about letting go and is also the title track of Cégiu’s freshly released selfproduced album sonically created by electronic beats, cello and insect sounds.
Cégiu seeks the limit of pain. The musician/composer/producer is fascinated and inspired by the spectrum of moving forward, saying farewell to certain things and letting go. This concept is communicated with unique musicality and style in her songs. She produces her own beats from insect sounds and cello and is a self-made producer who intersects classical and electronic elements with experimental flair. The versatility of the layers of the music create an atmosphere of meditativeness and entrance listeners, sending them deeper into their psyche as each song progresses. It is difficult to put Cégiu’s music into a box – some have referred to it as ‘art pop,’ ‘chamber pop,’ or ‘freak folk,’ however, it’s more multifaceted than just one or two genres.
https://www.facebook.com/cegiumusic/
Inspired by topics of dementia, breaking down stereotypes, natural disasters and the menstrual cycle; her music expresses the mind of a restless artist in an emotional world. It’s no coincidence that many people are brought to tears when Cégiu performs live, as the artist’s natural ability to take listeners into themselves conveys empathy, vulnerability and understanding. Cégiu invites listeners to search for their own limits of pain and to release themselves into the soul of the music and let go.

“Sometimes we may want to escape from cruel reality, but don't know how to achieve it. "adan diaz" is a bright example of free young spirit and his latest release reminds us something important; even in unpleasant situations we can find some moments of magic, which we usually overlook. Enjoy this Lo-fi Pop creation and see life from a different point of view.”

Adan Diaz is a 17-year-old Mexican-American artist from outside Chicago. When the pandemic hit and he was confined to his bedroom, Adan found solace in a cracked version of Ableton Live. He recorded new music everyday. He tried out new ways of singing, sometimes in Spanish and other times in English depending on how he was feeling. Slowly but surely he discovered a new vocabulary to communicate the torrent of confusion, surprise, boredom, anger, and lovesickness he's felt during this particularly bizarre moment in human history.
Adan’s “legroom” EP is a classic alt rock debut – unassuming but cocksure, familiar in tone but constantly surprising. Out Nov. 12 on Godmode (JPEGMAFIA, Channel Tres, Yaeji, PawPaw Rod), the EP celebrates tiny pleasures fleeting amongst our broad uncertainty: sharing your twin-size bed, smoking a black & mild on a rainy day, wanting to get into trouble but not really knowing how.
