Cégiu – Glowing Goodbye (Video)

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

“”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.”

-Nagamag.com

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.

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.

adan diaz – jumping fences (Spotify)

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

“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.”

-Nagamag.com

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.

WE ARE AVA – No More (Video)

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

“We fell in love with this full of life track. Liked the big room build ups and a voice to match the quality of the build. ”

-Nagamag.com

2 minutes and 38 seconds of pure synth force – that’s what the power track No More promises. From beat one, the song describes the struggle with oneself and one’s own mind games, only to call out to the world with powerful hits in the chorus: «I don’t wanna fight this war no more. Everyday I try to let it go. I know that it’s all just in my head. So, I don’t wanna fight this war no more.» Questioning yourself, rethinking, not feeling like you belong. «So damn hard for me to be okay.» The complexity of the subject matter and its musical background was a great challenge for the band, which is why the three can look back on the process with all the more pride today.

Sean Dampte, Nizzy, Buju – PePe – Remix (Spotify)

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

“Strong and worthy work that accurately reflects the whole essence of the WORLD MUSIC & AFRO-FUSION genres. Saturated positive energy music that fills our life with bright, rainbow paints! In this music atmosphere you wake up full and immerse yourself in the song, literally like been in endless ocean!”

“Сильная и достойная работа, которая максимально точно отражает всю суть жанров World Music & Afro-fusion. Насыщенная позитивной энергией музыка, которая наполняет нашу жизнь яркими, радужными красками! В этой атмосфере вы позабудете обо всём и с лёгкостью утоните в песне, словно в бездонном океане!”

-Nagamag.com

On the back of his massive global music collaboration with fellow UK-based afrofusion artist Nizzy and Nigerian rising star Buju, which is being championed by the likes of Flaunt Magazine, 9Bills, Niji Magazine, iMULLAR and PAM Magazine, UK-based afropop and afrofusion artist SEAN DAMPTE returns with his highly anticipated third EP BABA WON on October 15. This new project is the third instalment in his ‘Awoodah’ EP series, which started back in 2018 with his debut EP The Awoodah Begins and continued last year with the Man Like Sean Dampte EP.

Produced by JayOcean, with additional production from Jomane and TushBeats, the 5-track Baba Won EP opens with the already popular lead single ‘Pepe (Remix)’ before going into the infectious afrobeats offering ‘Allow Me’ featuring SeyiVibez, and the slow-burning love song ‘Oji Mo’. The EP winds down with ‘Choke Oh’, which sees Sean Dampte opining about relationships that are only driven by money, and the introspective ‘Agbada’, over which the Nigerian-born artist shares his story of perseverance and how far he has come to reach where he is now.

Speaking about the inspiration behind his Baba Won EP, Sean Dampte says, “with this ‘Baba Won – Awoodah’ EP, I felt it was time to fully begin to express the enigma behind the artist that is Sean Dampte and what is behind the music itself. ‘Baba Won’ aims to showcase the different elements to my music without losing its African heritage and background. The EP was inspired mostly by the need to show how far the brand ‘Awoodah’ and I have come since 2018, and to serve as a prelude to my debut album, which is going to be released in 2022”.

Championed by the likes of MTV, BET, TRACE and Apple Music, and more recently by Flaunt Magazine, iMULLAR and PAM Magazine, while also having shared the stage with afrobeats royalty such as D’Banj, Wizkid, Davido and Wande Coal, Sean Dampte has been foundational and a staple fixture in the rise of afrobeats music in the UK, and is revered for his stellar fusion sound of afrobeats, dancehall and pop music, which has amassed over four million plays along the way. His highly anticipated new EP Baba Won – Awoodah is out now on October 15.

Josephine Philip – The Clue (Spotify)

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

“Taken from Josephine's forthcoming album, this single has some Cinematic touch. A slightly melancholic story of love unfolds from the lyrics and the delicate singer's voice matches perfectly with the chilling background patterns.”

-Nagamag.com

The Clue is a contemporary love song. It revolves around impossible love and the acceptance of it.

The track is also an homage to Nina Simone’s version of Billie Holiday’s song Don’t Explain.

Don’t Explain was written by Holliday in response to one of her husband’s affairs. When he tried to explain away why lipstick was on his collar, Simone responded disgustingly “Take a bath, man; don’t explain”.”

Philip’s The Clue is an inspirational tribute to the great women, their sound, storytelling and courage, that took to the microphone and stage before her - a driven, vulnerable, poetic and empowering track.
