On the track ‘You Said, Tell Me’ Reevah explains “This track has a light-hearted conversational element to it. It's about rediscovering yourself after a transitional time. The track eludes to themes of personal change, growth and love, it questions feelings and connections with people. Being torn between the person you were and the one that you are ever becoming.”

Dillon – <3core

Dillon – <3core
(Video)

“”Dillon” returns after a long pause and she’s influenced from intense emotions. Sadness, despair and bittersweet thoughts can be traced in this remarkable Downtempo single, which covers everything like a dark cloud. Dare to listen!”

Brazilian-born artist Dillon is back after five years – On her fourth album, 6abotage, produced by Greek-German producer Alexis Troy, Dillon has created a powerful sound sphere one can hardly restrain from. The first single, “<3core,” is available for streaming from June 10th.

With her first single, “<3core”, the Berlin-based artist has created an oscillating tension field – giving the first insight into her fourth album, 6abotage. Written and produced with Alexis Troy, Dillon describes the album as “a love letter, a cry for help and a consequence all in one”, with the hypnotically painful first single, “<3core”, tying up reluctant impulses and emotions, attracting and repelling like rotating magnets.

Reduced to the core, it sounds abyssal and sobering when Dillon outlines an entangled situation, where, perhaps only leaving may help, with the escalating line “if you hurt, till you hurt me, till I hurt you, till you want me, till you love me <3core… “. Troy’s skilfully consummate production embraces Dillon and her struggle with this emotional chaos, which momentarily shifts into spoken word, in sombre warmth, and simultaneously, in stifling coldness. “<3core” reveals Dillon’s unsparing openness, a relentless inner conflict, and the powerful combination of pain/despair and relief/conciliation.

Pat Burgener – Low

Pat Burgener – Low
(Spotify)

“The melody creating a certain mood, aimed exclusively to you relax and rest. Test a global reassurance on yourself, bathing in a pleasant, calm melody of folk and enjoy a truly home and such native atmosphere. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Мелодия создающая определённое настроение, направленное исключительно на то, чтобы вы расслабились и отдохнули. Испытайте на себе глобальное успокоение, купаясь в приятной, спокойной мелодии фолк и насладитесь по-настоящему домашней и такой родной атмосферой.”

You have probably already worked up to the feeling that your pain was just a dream, until you realise that it is not, and there is no waking up from it.

Pat explains: 'I wrote Low while lying in a hospital bed after my ACL injury one year before my participation in the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.' He continues: 'During those terrible moments, you would do anything to forget what is happening to you and to change this unfortunate reality. I then told my brother Max who was sitting next to me: 'What if we write a song that gives hope but without hiding the tough part?'. While one cannot avoid the life's challenges, we have have to accept them before being able to deal with them.

Alpha Mare – Could It Be You There
(Spotify)

“There is something attractive in this music. Something otherworldly, but at the same time such a native and familiar. The fantastic energy of Indie Folk and Pop, with a very warm vocal, a melody of an acoustic guitar and a pleasant whistle against a background. The state of serenity of being is provided to you! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Есть нечто притягательное в этой музыке. Нечто потустороннее, но одновременно такое родное и знакомое. Фантастическая энергетика indie folk и pop, с очень тёплым вокалом, мелодией акустической гитары и приятным посвистыванием на фоне. Состояние безмятежности бытия вам обеспечено!”

A band born out of a friendship, Alpha Mare is an Indie-Folk duo featuring the surprising songwriting and acrobatic vocals of Izé Yeng Goodfriend, paired with the rich, driving multi-instrumentation of Andrew Fowler (bass, electric guitar, keys, drums, and percussion). Alpha Mare's debut album, The Colt of the Virgin, was recorded on the Hawaiian island of Maui in the upper foothills of the mountain Haleakalā, in a friend's living room, mostly over the course of several sleepless weeks. The album is marked by a jagged elegance and a wide emotional breadth. From the choral uplift of "Guts" and "Could It Be You There" to the pared down, scratchy intensity of "Pollen" and "Rocking Horse", The Colt of the Virgin is 37 minutes of spiritual adventure. Stand out track is "Packing Heat".

Jaz Valentino – D&D
(Spotify)

“Music is a means to convey the state of the soul of the musician. This is what distinguishes the new track -jaz Valentino- from other stylistic musicians on the Indie pop stage. It is very difficult to evaluate such music in points, since such work is not an algorithm of numbers, this is a unambiguous hit that cannot be driven into any mathematical framework! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Музыка — это средство для передачи состояния души музыканта. Именно это отличает новый трек -Jaz Valentino- от других стилистических музыкантов на Indie Pop сцене. Очень сложно оценивать такую музыку в баллах, так как подобные работы это не алгоритм из цифр, это однозначный хит, который невозможно загнать в какие-либо математические рамки!”

Nina Moss – If I Could
(Spotify)

“Finding balance between work and life is hard for most of us, but it definetely worths trying. In this cool Indie single, Nina Moss brings fresh air that envelops the listener. Your chance to slow down from your constant rush is only one click away!”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"I wrote this song in the Idaho countryside this summer, having found a rare moment of peace in a chaotic year. I’d felt myself wishing I could just “stay a while." It's a simple idea, but I’m from New York and often feel caught up in the rat race mentality. I wanted to write something about trying to find that work/life balance, which is something I struggle with. I worked on this with Tiger Darrow and Dezi, who helped me bring it to life with fun live instrumentation!"

Story behind the song as artist said:

"I wrote this song after an unexpected breakup. I balanced my weightier emotions in the hook (conversations end / my heart left on read / was it all pretend) with a lighter, upbeat vibe that reflects my nostalgia for the happier memories with my ex during the summer we started dating. I recorded a demo, debuted the song at a sold-out show at The Delancey in NYC to lots of positive feedback, and then teamed up with Mike Mroz (producer for Hadji Gaviota and other indie artists) to finish the song."
