https://ingrv.es/JVNAHopeInChaos

LA-based artist JVNA releases her stunning debut album “Hope In Chaos,” a deeply personal and emotive body of work with a unique sonic style drawing from pop, rock, and bass elements. The twelve-track LP explores many of her life experiences, covering a range of sometimes dark elements, including the loss of her father, guilt, love, lust, sexism, and determination. The opening track “Chaos” sets an ominous tone for the first half of the album, which represents the first, most painful stages of grief. “Where You Are” sees JVNA expressing a deep longing for lost love with cinematic sonic elements, while “Ghost” showcases a future bass style. “Sins” captures the sultry and turbulent energy of lust and questionable decisions. The first half of the album closes with the interlude “Hope,” which introduces JVNA’s movement into the healing process of grief. She tries to remember the good times of a painful relationship with “At Least It Was Fun,” while the ensuing tracks all lead up to the cathartic healing process with the epilogue “Fly.” “Hope In Chaos” is a truly beautiful and meaningful musical journey that fans of multiple genres will appreciate, whether they’re going through a tough time or just looking for a track to rock out to. Be on the lookout for album-themed “Hope In Chaos Tour”, starting on February 19. Tickets are available here.

California-based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist JVNA produces electronic music that plays at the dichotomy of light and dark, bass and melody, organic and synthetic. Raised by Taiwanese immigrants, JVNA studied classical piano from the age of 6 and started writing songs when she was 11. Her studies continued at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, where she learned to score films and video games. Initially, JVNA made fun edits and remixes of her favorite anime and video game soundtracks; her take on MapleStory’s “Login Theme” caught fire on the internet, earning half a million views in 24 hours. Her 2018 song “I’m With You,” inspired by her father’s death two years earlier, dared to dive deep into an emotional world. JVNA self-directed the song’s music video. The Follow-up single “Catch Me,” released in 2019, took JVNA on a sold-out tour across the United States. Due to the pandemic, it was canceled, and JVNA returned to the studio to focus on the album’s production. She pushed herself to incorporate more live keys, piano, and organic textures. “Hope In Chaos” is a diverse collection of styles featuring JVNA’s voice like it’s never been heard before, opening up about so much more than the standard dance floor love songs.

Ryan Riback, Dotter – (Just Can’t) Hate U (feat. Dotter) (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Composistion with very vigorous arrangement and electrified unique vocals! Its unique skill is simple, without unnecessary sounds. Moving between different stages of this production, the general perception is just privileged!”

“Очень бодрая аранжировка, ровный, размеренный темп композиции наэлектризованный уникальным вокалом! Неповторимое умение легко, без лишних звуков, переходить между разными этапами композиции, от чего общее восприятие только преумножается!”

-Nagamag.com

RIAA and ARIA platinum certified Australian music writer, producer, remixer and DJ Ryan Riback has released his original single ‘(Just Can’t) Hate U’ featuring Dotter today via New Tribe Music/Sony Music Entertainment Australia.

Hailing from Johannesburg but calling Melbourne his home, Ryan Riback is one of the most in demand remixers, having worked on remixes for Kelly Clarkson, Clean Bandit, Maroon 5, Kygo, LAUV and Khalid to name a few. Most notably, his remix of Starley’s ‘Call On Me’ is now certified ARIA Triple Platinum and RIAA Platinum, hitting the top of the charts around the globe, when at the time, both were virtually unknown artists. The quiet achiever has amassed well over one billion streams.

Although he loves remixing records, Riback’s passion is in his own releases and collaborations and now he's back with his next single, ‘(Just Can't) Hate U’. An anthemic pop record about break ups and not being able to let go, the track was produced by Ryan in Melbourne. On how the track came about, Ryan says, “My team sent me the demo of this record and I immediately fell in love with the concept. I loved the vocal delivery and the feel of it. It feels super current, so I took it, laid down some Riback vibes. Honestly, it came together quickly!”

The track follows on from Riback’s original single ‘Wrong’ (featuring Olivia Noelle), released in June 2020. Fusing pop sensibilities with an infectious midtempo club beat and buoyed by Olivia’s melodic vocals, ‘Wrong’ highlighted Riback’s talent to produce immediately recognisable pop bangers, amassing over 1.5 million worldwide streams.

Ryan Riback is not your average pop/dance music producer. He prefers to lock himself away in his Melbourne studio collaborating remotely, playing video games, laughing at memes/dad jokes, and considering the reality of extra-terrestrials infiltrating the upper echelons of government.

With the pandemic slowing things down, Riback has been spending time with his family. He notes, “I've done bits of music here and there, but I've kind of been saving all the good stuff for when the world started to open up again"

“All about that Bass on this one. We really enjoy that unique low sound expressed here. Her voice suited this track like a glove. One was wrapped around the other in a professional fashion od a skilled sound engineer. Not the typical lollipop pop song and we really like that. ”

-Nagamag.com

Cégiu – Glowing Goodbye (Video)

Categories: Features, Pop, Pop Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , , |

“”Cégiu” has managed to capture a spiritual power in this Folk production. Psychedelic soundscapes are combined with influensive lyrics. The overall progression is slow and a kind of mystic atmosphere is strongly presented. Don’t miss this experience.”

-Nagamag.com

The hauntingly beautiful piece “Glowing Goodbyes” is about letting go and is also the title track of Cégiu’s freshly released selfproduced album sonically created by electronic beats, cello and insect sounds.

Cégiu seeks the limit of pain. The musician/composer/producer is fascinated and inspired by the spectrum of moving forward, saying farewell to certain things and letting go. This concept is communicated with unique musicality and style in her songs. She produces her own beats from insect sounds and cello and is a self-made producer who intersects classical and electronic elements with experimental flair. The versatility of the layers of the music create an atmosphere of meditativeness and entrance listeners, sending them deeper into their psyche as each song progresses. It is difficult to put Cégiu’s music into a box – some have referred to it as ‘art pop,’ ‘chamber pop,’ or ‘freak folk,’ however, it’s more multifaceted than just one or two genres.

https://www.facebook.com/cegiumusic/

Inspired by topics of dementia, breaking down stereotypes, natural disasters and the menstrual cycle; her music expresses the mind of a restless artist in an emotional world. It’s no coincidence that many people are brought to tears when Cégiu performs live, as the artist’s natural ability to take listeners into themselves conveys empathy, vulnerability and understanding. Cégiu invites listeners to search for their own limits of pain and to release themselves into the soul of the music and let go.

Kadebostany, Valeria Stoica – Wild in Secret (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , , |

“Kadebostany and Valeria Stoica have both put their creativity in this Indie Electronic candy. Light harmonic sound mix, which captivated our mind along with that etherial singing voice. Music with attitude that leaves its sign on almost every listener.”

-Nagamag.com

Kadebostany strikes again with another audacious single, the timeless and sophisticated pop anthem “Wild in Secret”.

With its moving songwriting, meticulous electric beats, twisted folk melodies and bewitched whispering vocals, “Wild in Secret” bridges the gap between folk and modern electronic music, with a feeling of “crying with a smile”, as best described by its creator.

Architect of future pop and creator of many chart-topping singles, the singular hit producer/composer Guillaume de Kadebostany joins forces once again with singer Valeria Stoica. “Wild in Secret” is the follow-up to the much acclaimed single “Take Me To The Moon” released earlier in 2021, which rapidly conquered both the radio charts and fans.

During a late-night recording session last summer, the magic operated again and “Wild in Secret” was born. The result is both spontaneous and unpredictable, and highlights once again Kadebostany's acclaimed mastery of modern pop.

Supported by a dreamscape of stunning visuals, “Wild in Secret” is another major contribution to the Kadebostany legacy.

Jelly Crystal, Esther – Freak Show (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: , , , |

“We will infrequently meet musical works, where the story is so beautiful. Each of us can listen in different ways, focusing on the music of -Jelly Crystal & Esther-. Very original Dream Pop and lively, juicy vocal duet performance.”

“Нечасто встретишь музыкальные произведения, в которых так красиво повествуется история. Каждый слушатель по-разному слышит и сопереживает музыке и это отчётливо понимают -Jelly Crystal & Esther-. Очень оригинальный dream pop и живое, сочное исполнение вокального дуэта.”

-Nagamag.com

"Freak Show" is an astounding debut album drawing inspiration from the timeless influential sounds of the 60s and 70s, yet is also injected with bold, experimental moments only 2021 could produce. The swooning title track, "Freak Show" includes lo-fi indie pop singer Esther that really makes the song flourish into a whole new level.

https://www.facebook.com/thejellycrystal

Jelly Crystal is the moniker of the Stockholm-based artist and songwriter Filip Johnson. As Jelly Crystal he is the left-field glam rock street entertainer, singing his heart out for nickels and dimes. Innocence and decadence are never far from each other in his dazzling presence and "Freak Show" is the introductory tale in his extraordinary character's odyssey.

https://www.instagram.com/jellycrystalmusic/

Born and raised in Gothenburg, his skills on the bass guitar got him noticed in Stockholm, where he moved to play in the bands Vacation Forever and HOLY. Along with these collaborative projects, he started releasing tracks as Jelly Crystal, making his debut in 2017 with a self-titled EP, followed by the single “Now Awake” with Scott Walker and David Bowie as influences, Johnson revels in the kind of high-drama, high-art star role those musicians made their names with. Fully loaded, nostalgic and elegant old-school pop. In many ways, what’s significant with Jelly Crystal today.

In 2021, Jelly Crystal released his debut album “Freak Show”, a loosely shaped concept album gravitating around his alter-ego, Jerry. It's both a twisted and alluring vaudeville, and even though he’s got one foot in the timeless melodies of pop history, Jelly Crystal never hesitates to dash head-first into yet uncharted territories. Happy go lucky by nature, Johnson might come off as carefree at first glance, but underlying Johnson’s charismatic crooning, there’s the strokes of sadness of someone who knows he’ll never fully fit in. Innocence and decadence are never far from each other on “Freak Show”, and even though its ceaselessly exhilarating, you’re never left with the feeling that the rollercoaster will ever derail.
