Sina Moonlake – Wonderland

Sina Moonlake – Wonderland
(Spotify)

“The track fully justifies its name. This is a real country in which the charming vocals reigns -sina moonlake and the indie pop melody. There is no place for evil, in this fairy tale only good, light and hope for the best. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Трек полностью оправдывает своё название. Это настоящая страна чудес, в которой царствует очаровательный вокал -Sina Moonlake- и мелодия Indie Pop. Здесь нет места злу, в этой сказке только добро, свет и надежды на лучшее.”

-Nagamag.com

Sina Moonlake's enchanting new single 'Wonderland' is the soon to be break out hit from this rising Austrian star. An expert singer breaking new ground in the ever changing Alt-Pop genre — her inventiveness is often compared to her older contemporaries such as Lana Del Ray and Billie Eilish, with Sina exploring a wide variety of themes. Her music features a distinct mysticism that separates her more mainstream artists as well as defining her as one of the top talents to watch in the Alternative Pop space.

Her latest release Wonderland sees Sina delve into a world of enchantments, psychedelic sounds and dark lyrics about self-discovery and emotional turmoil; all while still retaining a sense of playfulness that makes for an incredibly unique listening experience.

The music video is an essential accompaniment to Sina's voice with the accompanying visuals portraying the struggles of adults who have lost their childlike sense of wonder and way of looking at the world. Their innocence was taken away from them by life, so they no longer see the beauty in everything around them like children do. Its message is simple but profound – to never lose your inner child.

Joost Laméris – Falling Apart

Joost Laméris – Falling Apart
(Spotify)

“The composition begins with the singing of birds in the summer forest, after which it was like an angel that descended from heaven that comes from the vocals -Joost laméris-. And here the real miracles begin to happen! The smile spontaneously manifests itself on your face, all worries are fading into the background, and the soul requires a holiday. Let her rest at least a couple of minutes. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Композиция начинается с пения птиц в летнем лесу, после чего словно ангел спустившийся с небес вступает вокал -Joost Laméris-. И здесь начинают происходить самые настоящие чудеса! Улыбка самопроизвольно проявляется на вашем лице, все заботы уходят на второй план, а душа требует праздника. Позвольте ей отдохнуть хотя бы пару минут.”

-Nagamag.com

‘Falling Apart’ releases on May 27th as the second single of a series of music releases by independent Dutch singer-songwriter Joost Laméris. It’s a dreamy indie/chillpop ballad capturing the sad and beautiful moments of a breakup. It is released after his last single ‘One More Time’ that has been streamed over 10k times in just a few weeks.

Nostalgic, desperate and emotional, ‘Falling Apart’ is a song in which the listener is stimulated to paint a vivid image in their mind. The song tells the story from the start of Joost’s ex-relationship, which took place during lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, to the healing after the breakup. It reminisces on the good times of being together, whilst also expressing the reality of how they've grown apart. The song describes that being in love and caring deeply for one another was not enough for their relationship to work. Whilst the essence of the song carries an emotional sadness, the instrumental turns the sound into a powerful feeling that things will be alright.

“People often break up due to a lack of love, but in this particular breakup it was the opposite. My ex and I cared deeply for each other, but our relationship didn’t work due to circumstances outside of that. I think we both had some healing to do before we could commit to another person. I think there is something beautiful about recognising that and I wanted ‘Falling Apart’ to describe this part of the breakup as well as the sadness that came with it”, says Joost. ‘Falling Apart’ is written by Joost Laméris and co-produced by Dylan van Dael.

‘Falling Apart’ is accompanied by a music video in collaboration with CUZZO Films. The video is a symbolic expression of the meaning of the song in which Joost is presented as two personas: the present and his past. Joost is chasing down his past in hopes to get back to the good memories. During the video, in which high fashion and nature play a big role, the past leaves a trail that Joost follows. Towards the end of the video, Joost catches up with his past and is faced by himself, in other words: he gets hit by reality when he faces his feelings and past.

This song is about growing up in a small town as young teen artist emerging into the scene. It talks about things from being broke to grinding my way to the top despite what my peers and other people around me think. I wrote ands produced this song in my bedroom in the town that I live in, giving off a feeling of wanting to escape the past. But knowing the only way to do that is to keep my head up and to keep grinding no matter what people think.

“Здесь нет места анализу или бесконечным поискам дополнительного смысла в словах, такую музыку нужно ощущать всей душой и сердцем. Всё остальное в вашей голове нарисует музыка, а она здесь невероятна хороша.”

The super talented Swedish songsmith joins forces with Belfast-based Lilla, combining uplifting vocals with nostalgic electro pop vibes and feel-good musicality from end to end.

Released 27th May on Perfect Havoc

Press release for immediate release.

Multi-million streaming Swedish producer Oliver Nelson returns in emphatic fashion with new single ‘Long Summer Nights’ released on 27th May in joint partnership on Perfect Havoc – the chart-topping label that discovered and broke Joel Corry – and acclaimed artist management company, music publisher, and record label, Prolifica. In collaboration with Nelson on this latest release is the incredibly talented Irish singer/songwriter, Lilla Vargen, together creating the perfect soundtrack to warm, summer days and chromatic late-evening sunsets. Stream it here: https://perfecthavoc.lnk.to/longsummernights

Instantly emotive, ‘Long Summer Nights’ kicks straight into Vargen’s gripping vocal topline whilst gliding through a passionate progression of piano keys and delicate rhythm before upping the energy with an ensemble of electro-tinged synths and powerful ‘80s inspired cinematic drum work. Whether on a crowded dancefloor or cruising into the horizon with the top down, this latest addition to the Perfect Havoc catalogue will strike a chord and linger in the memory all summer long.

Oliver Nelson first burst onto the scene with a series of high-profile nu disco remixes before Polydor snapped up his debut single ‘Found Your Love’ in 2016. Now with over 400 million global streams to his name, Nelson is the brains behind high profile remixes for NEIKED, Ella Henderson, Kesha, Joel Corry and many more. His infectious bootleg of The Wombats ‘Greek Tragedy’ unexpectedly went viral on TikTok in 2021, featuring in over 430,000 videos and culminating in an official release on 14th Floor Music.

Nelson is a master in the studio, evident in collaborations with Kygo on ‘Riding Shotgun’ (Sony) and on big house productions on the label that discovered him, Perfect Havoc, including standouts, ‘Is It Real?’ and ‘Something ‘Bout The Music’. Ever pushing the envelope, last year Nelson launched electro-pop group Moodshift, alongside Grammy-winner, Lucas Nord, and vocalist, flyckt, and remains in demand as a remixer too with a huge official rework for Donna Summer turning heads last June.

Having accumulated 50 million streams and completed a huge arena tour as guest to Dermot Kennedy, Lilla Vargen is one of Ireland’s fastest rising new talents. She has regularly collaborated with the MyRiot production duo whose credits include London Grammar and Halsey. Having so far released fewer than a dozen tracks, Lilla has already achieved seven Top 15 New Music Friday features with Spotify plus numerous key playlists at Apple Music. Radio is rapidly gaining traction too, with Radio 1 airplay from Phil Taggart, Huw Stephens and Best New Pop alongside support from Radio X and Ireland’s RTÉ 1 and 2.

Perfect Havoc – Best Independent Record Label nominee at the 2022 Music Week Awards – is one of the most successful indie dance labels of recent years. Its trademark commercial dance with a smattering of the more club-focused sounds has generated the label over 3 billion streams and given rise to six UK Top 20 singles including the No.1 single ‘Head & Heart’ by four-time Brit Award nominated producer, Joel Corry & MNEK.

Also knowing more than a thing or two about hit singles is the partnering label on this release. Prolifica was formed in 2004 as both the management and dance label behind such artists as Robert Miles, Spiller, Planet Funk and Dimitri from Paris. It’s since transitioned into a multi-artist award winning company behind such as established global arena artists as Two Door Cinema Club.
