(Video)

“In -Angels Pray- in the desired dosage we found a common language with its listeners, which helps to express the artist’s idea and talk to us in the same language. Noticeably, as -Messer- communicates through music, it helps to immerse ourselves with his thoughts in this amazing world.”

“В -Angels Pray- в нужной дозировке найден общий язык со своими слушателями, что помогает выразить свою авторскую задумку и разговаривать с нами на одном языке. Заметно, как автор общается посредством музыки, что помогает погрузиться с головой в этот удивительный мир.”

PRE-SAVE THE ‘Roses’ EP NOW. OUT 8/27.
https://orcd.co/messerrosesep

GRAMMY Award-winning vocalist Mitch Grassi today reveals “Angels Pray,” the latest piece of original music from his new solo project, Messer.

Messer is about freedom in identity, independence, confidence, queerness, the theatrical, and living your fantasy and romanticizing your life. Basking in beautiful solitude, embracing the darkness we carry within ourselves, as well as celebrating the moments of bliss, humanization, empathy, self-awareness, and global awareness.

“‘Angels Pray’ came from a place of longing, specifically longing for an escape. it’s that inexplicable desire to run out the nearest exit and leave everything behind in search of your higher personal truth. it’s the need for a bird’s eye view. When we find ourselves in the midst of chaos, it is often very difficult to view our circumstances from a larger perspective. The narrator of this song is searching for solace, perhaps in a new place, or perhaps in another person,” Grassi says.

Be on the lookout for additional Messer original music releases over the coming months.

Vincent Liou Interview on Nagamag

Vincent Liou
Interview

Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Vincent Liou:
Indie pop

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Vincent Liou:
I started piano when I was young and then played bass and clarinet for a few years. I loved making huge chords on the piano. I joined a band (Crash Coordinates) in high school and played minimal keys – I was basically the hype man. I wrote my first song in college in 2010 where I (low-key) ripped off Owl City’s ‘”Fireflies.” I wrote four EPs and recorded with Bob Hoag during that time. After graduating from PA school in Massachusetts, I moved back to Arizona to live with my momma (school is expensive you know!). After I came back, I met a girl who was cool, but she broke my heart – she was dating someone else at the same time we were together. My most recent ‘Big Surf’ EP are the songs that came out of that experience.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Vincent Liou:
I was lucky enough to have parents that liked good music. My dad would play John Denver and my mom played The Eagles. From there I started discovering new artists that really helped color my world. The artists that really showed me that music was freedom are many but Primus, The Locust, Minus the Bear, really solidified my belief.

Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Vincent Liou:
Whitney Houston "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)"

Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Vincent Liou:
Bonnie Raitt "I Can't Make You Love Me"

WE ARE AVA – Sorta Kinda Really Into You
(Spotify)

“The branded expression and dynamics of -Sorta Kinda Really Into You- make it a composite hit. Pronounced piano and sensual vocals make a common mix juicy and conceptual, which offers its insane atmosphere and instantly raise our mood.”

“Фирменная экспрессия и динамика -Sorta Kinda Really Into You- делают композицию явным хитом. Ярко выраженное пиано и чувственный вокал делают общий микс сочным и концептуальным, что придаёт свою безумную атмосферу и мгновенно поднимет настроение”

-Nagamag.com

«It’s not like we need to talk about our future, but I’m sorta kinda really into you.»

After WE ARE AVA gave a sweet taste of their upcoming debut album Inner Gardening (autumn 2021) with the energetic, catchy track Conquer Me and the gloomy party anthem More Than You Like Me, the trio’s third single release follows now: Sorta Kinda Really Into You.

In the latest song, the Eastern Swiss electro-pop band strikes softer and warmer notes than before. The focus lies on a fresh relationship with all its beauties and pitfalls, reflected in the tightrope act of moving from trivial feelings to real ones. The fear of giving too much of yourself too quickly or getting too involved and consequently breaking something, coupled with the wonderful feeling of something new and exciting: «Really don’t wanna put a label on it and I don’twanna scare you off. But don’t you agree that this is going somewhere with us.»

The band wraps up the all-too-familiar ambivalence of butterflies in the belly in a feel-good ballad with a clear bottom line: «I’m really, really, really into you.»

Kenah – Control
(Video)

“Kenah’s new Afrobeat single is ready to stimulate our senses. Smooth, elegant and seductive mix of sounds with interesting voice effects. Overall addictive creation, ideal to listen every night. Cheers!”

-Nagamag.com

Making her mark on the international music scene, KENAH continues her career debut with the release of ‘Control’, which follows on from the acclaimed afrocentric banger ‘Plenty’ just a week ago. Having put her foot down, it seems KENAH’s not taking her foot off the gas any time soon and the meticulous planning that has gone into her arrival in the public eye, shines through as ‘Contol’ also marks the announcement of her debut EP!

STREAM/DOWNLOAD: KENAH – CONTROL
https://smarturl.it/Kenah.Control

The ‘Poposky’ produced track, ‘Control’ exhibits an enchanting rhythmic drum pattern, soul-soothing melodies and is topped up by an infectious vocal hook. This powerful combination is starting to become a sure-fire style of Kenah’s that sees her lean into deep percussive beats and deliver her unique hybrid of choral experiences alongside the art of rap. Daringly bold and energetic as it is smooth and sensual, Kenah’s sound has an elegance and rarity to it that is only uncovered when true diamonds are discovered. With a swaying, soulful core, the roots of the record stimulate the senses and make it hard to ignore the provocative calls to dance and as we descend into the opening up of parties and events worldwide, KENAH has produced an anthem that can guide the very essence of the celebrations.

PRE-ORDER: 3:05 MUSING EP
https://smarturl.it/305MusingEP

Seasoned with music since childhood, her impeccable talent has been molded into what it is today throughout her 21 years. Whether it be her leading school choirs or making her first attempt to write her own lyrics, it seems her destiny has always been music. At University she became a campus favourite when she recorded and shared her first few songs and she soon started to spark the interest of music industry professionals. Fast forward to her release debut and Kenah found her home with UK based record label JustJoJo Entertainment, a label synonymous with Afrobeats and Nigerian artists including DJ Spinall, Adekunle Gold, Yemi Alade and Kizz Daniel.

As she prepares for the release of her debut 7-track EP ‘3:05 MUSING’ on the 23rd of July, you’ll be able to see KENAH on billboards across Nigeria. The sheer scale of the campaign demonstrates the potential that the Nigerian based artist has. With a superstar roster of producers that includes DJ Coublon, Mystro, Poposky and Insane Chips and mix and mastering by Mixx Monsta a.k.a Selebobo, Milla Mix and Na Me Dey Mix and Master, ‘3:05 MUSING’ is the ideal embodiment of KENAH’s entry into the Afrobeat scene. Each track is carefully curated to take us on a musical journey, whilst still conveying the necessary upbeat, fun filled feeling that is crucial to this genre and ‘Control’ takes centre stage in presenting that to the world.

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration about this song with Nagamag:

" I wrote this song after during a really hard time in life when I was getting into a lot of arguments with a girl I had liked for a long time. It felt like we were always at odds and the worst part was, it seemed that we were fighting over the smallest and most unimportant things. After one fight in particular she left crying and I sat down at the piano to process. These are the things I wanted to say. I hope one day she’ll hear this. "
