Leah Weller – Freedom
(Video)

“Her vocals are beautiful, full with layers, deep, full of different vibes, depending of the verse of chorus lines, with just amazing string that follows. Bass line have a soul of its own, with the old school-ish rhythm section, fits perfectly with her vocals. Love the break, change of pace, with different spoken language, that it comes back with a verse, just great. ”

Leah Weller uses the springboard of mindfulness, levity and the glowing response to her newest music by releasing the nourishing, swaying soul of her debut album’s title track: Freedom.

Embroidered with threads of singing strings, warm blankets of brass and Weller’s own vocals cutting through the wall of sound with crystalline clarity, the song’s story is unambiguously relatable. Freedom arrived on the outswing of the singer-songwriter’s twenties, a hectic decade’s strands pulling together in the alternate, head spinning universe of societal shutdown and the forming of new, grown-up paths, each built stronger with the benefit experience.

Reflecting on the irresistible, richly-orchestrated song, she says: “Freedom is one song that developed through lockdown, a time that was so tough for so many people and I feel no nostalgia for. I read a book called ‘Letting Go’ which dealt with being aware of our consciousness, just one of many similar I’ve been inspired by, where authors deal with the idea of us freeing ourselves from our egoic minds. Like then, I still like the idea of this sense of freedom, especially during a lockdown.”

Announcing the release of her first album with the cultured, main stage soul of Wonder at the beginning of August, Freedom’s twelve tracks link arms and form a protective circle around Weller and anyone else unshackled, or looking to break free of the chains of uncertainty. Philosophical, inspired and unafraid, united with the support of producer and key writing collaborator, Steve Craddock, Weller’s self-belief grew during recording sessions that spanned 2020 and 2021 between studios in Surrey and Devon.

The single pushes the singer-songwriter one square closer to the release of her first long-player on Fri 21 October 2022 with Modern Sky UK.

Nate Amor – Lose This Way
(Video)

“Vocals on this one are the hook you need, it pulls you in since the first verse, strong and clean. Amazing vocalist, music just as great, layers of guitars, that fulfill the layers you need, same with rhythm section. It feels personal a lot, some much emotions are put into it. ”

Singer and songwriter Nate Amor relocated to LA in 2022 with a fresh mind and fresh music followed. These new perspectives are the driver for a new album he worked on with legendary mixers Joe Zook and Drew Middleton. He delved into a unique sound, paying homage to Kings of Leon, Ray Lamontagne, and Chris Stapleton. But before the full album release, Nate Amor has some singles for you to snack on.

The first track on the menu was the soaring “Ain’t Hitting Me Yet”. Next up is the sweeping, “Lose This Way”.

A song dealing with the trauma of loss, the emotional devastation Nate details is a backdrop for a music video that paints the picture of the moments leading up to a beautiful wedding. Tensions run high when he sings lines like “Bring on the firing squad and/ fire away” while the video shows him as a supposedly happy groom getting his photo taken. But as the song and video progress, we see not everything is as it seems. This leads to a climax that brings an air of optimism. Powered by Nate’s signature vocals and guitar, the climax of the song is anthemic and cathartic.

As Nate elaborates:

“I was living in my friend’s basement. It was spring yet cold in Minnesota and this moment came over me to write a song that could encompass my recent divorce and the loss of my mother 18 months prior. It is a journey to say goodbye to my ex, wish her well, and to say that I’m accepting the loss of her. The truth was that I’d been so selfish. We ALL experience loss. Deaths of many kinds, it’s a part of life. This song helped me get out and release my grief, let go, and continue on.”

A Minneapolis native, Nate Amor grew up with a healthy appreciation for Elvis and The Beach Boys – all things Rock ‘n Roll Americana. His first time performing was at his high school talent show with a cover of Elvis’ “In the Ghetto”. He was hooked. The power of lyrics and positive transformative force of music has continuously fed Nate’s songwriting obsessions.

Nate is a member and vocalist of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, was featured on NBC’s The Voice, and as a solo artist has shared the stage with Train, Mat Kearney, and Marc Cohn.

In 2022 Nate relocated to LA to start a new musical adventure. With a collection of songs perfected over the past few years, he is now more ready than ever to bring his brand of Americana Rock to a global audience.

Twins of June – Favorite Person
(Spotify)

“Love the tempo on this one, fits great with vocals and music, you can feel the mood that goes with everything. Smooth vocals, guitars, lead parts are full with happiness, it is felt that it is a very personal message to someone. Love when you can feel something like within a song. ”

-Nagamag.com

Following the success of their latest release "Fake Crown", Twins of June, Jesper & Jonas Trumm, releases the single "Favorite Person", August 26th 2022.

"Favorite Person" was written at the beginning of lockdown, where the twins went from having a busy and stressful everyday life to a relaxed and calm life with time to dive into music. The calmness and tranquility of their new life served as a reminder to who and what is really important in life. Which inspored the lyrics to "Favorite Person" to be a conversation between two people, and a description of their shared relationship, memories and a reminder to support our loved ones.

"With Favorite Person we wanted to explore new sounds and universes from previous recordings, which resulted in a more pop/electronic arrangement. We are not a band that writes 10 of the same songs" – Jesper & Jonas Trumm

With references to Harry Styles they combine acoustic guitar, strings, synthesizer and retro/pop drum elements. They draw inspiration from different genres and artists; Passenger, Foy Vance & Ed Sheeran, Twenty One Pilots, Martin Garrix and Avicii. Twins of June reflect a variety of style and show their ability to write catchy summer tunes.

The twins will be touring in Germany in September, where "Favorite Person" will flourish as the latest release.

In addition to the release of their debut album "Home" in 2019 and their EP 'Memories', which reached #1 on the iTunes singer/songwriter chart, Twins of June have been on a handful of tours in Germany & Denmark in the past few years, supporting various artists, including Nicklas Sahl (DK), Rasmus Hagen (SE) and Tim Schou (DK). Currently, the d has more than 2,400,000 million streams on Spotify alone.

Juliander – We
(Spotify)

“This one, music,cross between chill out/drum and base, reminds me a lot of electronic releases that came out more than 20 years ago, love it. Love the mix of genres in one song, they are so rare and this one sound amazing, from rhythm parts, vocals, piano intro, synths, they sound retro, full of color, just amazing. ”

-Nagamag.com

Juliander is a Swedish artist, songwriter and producer. With strong and emotional vocals personal lyrics and beautiful melodies, he can tell a story that will immerse you in his universe. A universe accompanied by analogue vintage synths, powerful drums and organic instruments to create an atmospheric and melancholic world.

We was written from the perspective of privilege. To be able to reminisce about the past as something beautiful is a massive privilege. Most people don't have an easy life and the only thing that matters is being able to have a future. There's also a perspective of the climate and how the world is reacting to the change. The younger generation is incredible vocal about all the issues whilst some of the powerful older generation don't see the importance of what is happening to our world. Feels like a generation is feeding us continuous lies and broken promises.

"We was born from a single sound and the lyrics came to me right away. It was written in a one take. Everything felt natural and it just flowed, the best feeling for a songwriter. I experimented a lot in the production and my favorite part is probably the instrumental after the second chorus, it just feels euphoric and I love it." - Juliander

SEKI – Play It Cool

SEKI – Play It Cool
(Spotify)

“It start on very positive note, with a guitar riff and rhythm while you wait for the first verse. Love the small electronic parts that layers the rest of the sound. Vocals are really good, nicely edited with a delay parts, but the part I like the most is chorus line, it makes you wanna sing along.”

-Nagamag.com

Taking influences from Tears for Fears, The 1975 and The Strokes, the Bangkok-based musician SEKI creates a shoegaze-inflected indie pop sound, rich with layered harmonies and instantly-memorable melodies. SEKI’s music is dominated by new wave synth sounds, falsetto vocals, lushly-layered harmonies and instantaneous pop melodies.

“Play It Cool” is a song that was inspired by a really awkward experience that SEKI had, while trying to chat with an attractive woman in a park. As you might be able to imagine, it didn’t go as planned! He walked away from the exchange, face red and completely embarrassed.

However, it wasn’t all for nothing. He ended up writing the song about that moment, though he still felt second-hand embarrassment during the writing process, just thinking about that experience.

“It's really about trying to capture the awkwardness I’ve had over time just trying to act ‘normal’ in front of people,” says SEKI. “I think we’ve all probably been guilty at times of pretending to be cooler than we actually are, so I’m hoping people will relate to that in this track.”

Patric Pleasure – Feet to the Ground (Disco Revision)
(Spotify)

“Electro Funk is one of the most web genres that can turn the head of anyone and leave no one indifferent! Disco elements are very competently located in a common mix, bringing a positive mood to your daily everyday life.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Electro Funk один из самых вайбовых жанров, который может вскружить голову любому и не оставит равнодушным никого! Элементы Disco очень грамотно расположены в общем миксе, привнося позитивное настроение в ваши ежедневные будни.”

-Nagamag.com

This is a high quality club and radio friendly Disco track with a story and message. Very strong female vocals on a groovy, pumpin' beat with a slight bluesy feel, funky guitars and key stabs for the extra hype on the dance floor. It fits the current wave of NuDisco chart toppers perfectly in the same vein like Purple Disco Machine, Lizzo, Dua Lipa and Calvin Harris.

The origin of this song was Patric's single release from May 2022. The original song was a dark country singer/songwriter track. This is the perfect example how a funky bass line and a simple 4-to-the-floor clubby beat can change the whole mood of a song.

LEEPA – so far it just sucked

LEEPA – so far it just sucked
(Video)

“Even it is a modern pop song, somehow I feel retro sound to it, that is a big plus. Guitar parts sound so massive, gives the mood of the track different feel, with an amazing rhythm section, bass line and vocals balanced perfectly, top notch production. ”

-Nagamag.com

“so far it just sucked” is Spotify’s focus single for their EQUAL GSA campaign during Reeperbahn Festival – including a Timesquare billboard and a extensive support such as OOH campaign, showcase and talk about equality during Reeperbahn Festival.

Being featured across all socials, she’s their artist to watch and we know why:

LEEPA always says: “We all feel the same things for different reasons”, and her new single is all about feeling angry. There are plenty of reasons to be … Equality, peace, a secure and fair income for all – so many things that are important to us all appear to be so out of reach. All this makes LEEPA furious and on top of it all, she’s also struggling with a love story that doesn’t want to properly unfold into one. With “so far it just sucked”, she now inspires listeners not to be ashamed to let out all their built-up anger. For the accompanying music video, LEEPA got together with four of her friends and powerful forces to be reckoned with – Shima, Nika Irani, Faye Montana, and Marie Bothmer – for each of them to release their own personal frustrations.

“so far it just sucked’ is about a crush I’ve had for a very long time, with whom it never worked out, even though we always felt that both of us wanted it,” LEEPA explains about her new track. “I always imagined how everything could be so simple and nice, but up until this point it just sucked – that’s where the title stems from … How come it always sucked, when we love each other so much?! It really makes no sense at all! Several circumstances and people have also been involved in preventing this from happening, and that just pisses me off!”

The accompanying music clip speaks volumes: It shows LEEPA and her friends beating up old TVs and cars with baseball bats. Sound-wise, “so far it just sucked” kicks off with isolated drums, quickly followed by LEEPA’s soulful voice. The chorus sees distorted guitars added to the mix. The track’s earworm potential evokes memories of legendary radio hits by Wheatus or All American Rejects and of turning the volume way up loud when MTV would play your favorite song.

“A work that remembers with its melody and rhythm is very non -standard for its genre, leaving behind a lot of space and ideas for thought.
