Ian Abel – Right Hand Man
(Spotify)

“Breaking the ordinary sound boundaries, Ian Abel targets on plenty of humour and unpredictable riffs on Hyperpop. Escape from the typical music and cheer up with the funny lyrics of this fresh release.”

-Nagamag.com

Keep your pants on, because Ian Abel’s newest single “Right Hand Man” dropped on Feb 10th, 2022 and it’s the quirky, gay hyperpop smash the world needs right now.

“Right Hand Man” is a cheery, taunting pop tune, with tongue-in-cheek lyrics, punchy synths, and an infectious earworm of a chorus. It’s naughty, effervescent and fun, all in one.

“Imagine you’re getting a drink at a sunny gay resort and you spot a cute stranger flirting with your man,” says Abel. “Then imagine you don’t even care: that’s what this song is about.”

“Right Hand Man” is accompanied by a low-concept music video following a big juicy butt as it walks around the Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood of New York City, bouncing from bar to bar, meeting up with friends, and even getting some light fondling action.

“These days I think we can also use entertainment that lightens the mood and doesn’t take itself too seriously,” says Abel. “I certainly don’t.”

Ian Abel (pronounced “able”) is, at the bottom of it all, a queer comic book nerd with a heart of gold. With an oh-so-smooth velvety voice and sensual, psychedelic electro-pop arrangements, he’s like if Sam Smith met Robyn or Jessie Ware met James Blake, all with a side of Peter Gabriel. He’s not just your standard indie voice.

For well over a decade, Ian has been an artist and performer. He has performed around the world and with greats like Nile Rodgers, Jimmy Fallon, and the SNL band. He has sung onstage at Carnegie Hall, on Chinese national television, and in festivals in Sun Valley, New York, and Edinburgh. Currently, Ian resides in New York City, where he hopes to get back to performing live soon.

GIVVEN – Losing Colours
(Spotify)

“"Givven" present their fresh single, balancing between Downtempo and Commercial sound. The artists have done great work on vocals and this can be spotted directly. 3D effects, unpredictable sound shifting and a slight taste of acoustic instrumentation, increase the whole production level.”

Downtempo pop trio GIVVEN's single, 'Losing Colours', out today via Bias Beach Records.

https://lnk.to/GIVVEN-LosingColours

International trio GIVVEN has released their latest single, ‘Losing Colours’ on the 10th of February. The single is the title track for their upcoming audiovisual EP which will be released on the 24th of March via Bias Beach Records. The EP will feature three unique songs with music videos shot in the beautiful landscapes of Iceland, the first of which, ‘Taking On Water’, was already released and accompanied by a gloomy blue-tinted video. One-third of the trio is Adrian Held, part of the renowned Klangkarussell duo. GIVVEN released their hit debut single, ‘Ghostkeeper’ with Klangkarussell in early 2020 which has reached over 6,6 million views to date, followed by several more singles which would collect over 50 million plays across platforms with support across a wide variety of international publications and radio stations.

The trio is comprised of Adrian Held who is from Austria and based in Berlin, Germany, Jordan Haller who is also from Austria and currently based in Toronto, Canada and Nikodem Milewski who is from Poland and based in Vienna. Nikodem Milewski is also responsible for mixing and mastering the EP and has previously worked with the likes of Robin Schulz and Gryffin, amongst others.

In the early stages of the GIVVEN project, the band used the likes of Jai Paul for inspiration however, more recently they’ve begun to also turn to the works of Bon Iver and James Blake. In turn, their own texturally rich sound will find itself at home next to the laidback likes of Chet Faker, Son Lux and James Blake.

The trio take lush textures and paint them against a backdrop of grief, finding ways to layer the metaphorically monochromatic grey emotion against a rolling bassline and vocal echoing remnants. Acoustic elements lend a gentle tone while the spacey, soaring choruses convey the raw pain found within the lyrics.

Speaking of the single, GIVVEN tell us: "We're incredibly proud of ‘Losing Colours’. From the writing to production, it all took months to dial in and get perfect but we think you can really feel the time and love we put into this one when you listen to the track. Every little detail in lyrics and melody and sound design was meticulously thought out and dialled in. For the vocal production, I was inspired by a song called "Stories" by "Refs" and how they automated the formant shifting of their vocals in the second verse. I thought that was such a cool way to play with vocal delivery so I took the concept and built on it a little and brought that to the verses of ‘Losing Colours’ to give the vocals a new way to twist and turn and kind of keep the listener off-balance."

Losing Colours EP Tracklist:

1. Taking On Water

2. Losing Colours

3. Doubts

Slow Down is the latest single from Seattle based Chris Sloan, featuring Ben Smith and Andy Stoller of rock and roll hall of fame band Heart, and recorded at the legendary Bear Creek Studios in Woodinville, WA.

The singer-songwriter's music features attention-grabbing, raspy vocals, and his latest single is no exception. On the track, Chris explains the ‘song is a sexy, "easy like Sunday morning" track. I wrote the song because I wanted a sexy, yet playful track on the record’.

Speaking about the single, Chris explains ‘This song is about wanting to slow life down for a day and just enjoy your partner. "Take off all your clothes and climb right back into my bed". Let's forget the responsibilities and the mundane tasks that we fulfill day in and day out. Let's instead ignore those distractions and just enjoy the feel of each other. The song encompasses the need to "slow down" and forget about everything we have been trained to view as "important" or necessary, and just revel in the sensation and palpation of each other's bodies instead. Because THAT is just as important as the day-to-day minuscule tasks, yet we don't allow ourselves to enjoy that enough’.

In his career, Chris has been the lead singer of several bands, including Mercy Parker, Mudsill Widows, and SideDown, performing on stages since he was 18. Chris’s unique voice and polished songwriting capabilities set him as an exciting breakthrough artist whose solo career has the music industry buzzing. His songs stretch across genres from acoustic, indie, pop, and alternative mixed with a bit of rock.

Gillian Baci – Feel at Home
(Spotify)

“Many believe that music has curing properties and that's true. "Feel at Home" is a bright example of positive influence, supportive mood and hope, all wisely included in this Electro Pop song. Lyrics of unique power and undoubtedly excellent artistic performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"Inspiration and Meaning
Feel at Home was inspired, to a large extent, by my journey out of depression. I used to be more sad, angry, and worried than happy, joyous, or at peace. I spent a lot of time and energy trying to get out of hell. This search led me to Alan Watts and the Wisdom of Insecurity (a book I highly recommend for everyone). It was here that I understood that I was the problem, or more specifically, my reactions to the negative side of life was the problem.

Thus, the main meaning behind the song is that, to feel at home (be at peace), it is necessary to let go of all desires that tie you down. This doesn’t mean don’t chase your dreams or seek happiness. Rather, it means that you should be ready to let go of these desires when they become burdens (i.e. when you are sad but want so desperately to be happy). For the pain in suffering isn’t the suffering itself but the desire to run from suffering. This is what ‘embrace your mind’ in the chorus is trying to say.

Fun Fact
FAH is the only song of mine that’s made me cry. The first time it happened, I was so shocked. I even thought it was a fluke. But to my wild surprise, I cried on 2 other occasions. The reason why I cry is not cos I’m sad but cos I remember the me who used to be depressed. I see him in my mind’s eye and from there I get to thinking of all those other people who are currently dealing with depression and can’t find their way out of it. As I type this, I can begin to feel tears forming so I will stop. I have no desire to cry today…lol."
