Brazilian Singer-Songwriter Thaís Gulin Makes U.S. Debut with Sultry New Single ‘quar3ntine – a valentine in the quarantine’
Gulin Addresses Politics, Love, and Social Issues with Artful Video Filmed by Neighbors During Quarantine in Copacabana
Renowned Brazilian songstress and actress Thaís Gulin has released her quarantine-inspired single “quar3ntine – a valentine in the quarantine.” The avant-garde video for her American debut was filmed remotely in May of 2020, during a time when the once lively city of Rio de Janeiro, became deserted due to the coronavirus pandemic. Gulin channels her free spirit in her first release since her 2013 hit, “Cinema Big Butts.” Gulin was lovestruck at the beginning of the pandemic, but also disgusted by the outlandish behavior of her country’s president.

“When COVID-19 first hit Brazil, we watched President Bolsonaro carelessly mishandle the pandemic by allowing the virus to rapidly spread throughout the country. He seemed to enjoy it,” explains Gulin. “He would encourage people to disregard public health guidelines such as wearing masks and staying six feet apart, and would publicly mingle with his supporters by shaking their hands and hugging them. This is a political song disguised as a love song. It’s like if the emergency of love was running in parallel to the despair of political happenings.”
Gulin appointed her neighbor as director of photography, who also doubled as her cameraman. The video cascades through various scenes of Gulin intimately singing to her audience of one, while creatively layering in stunning backdrops of the vacant coasts of Rio de Janeiro, giving the video both a multidimensional and observational feel.

Nicky Romero returns to Virgin Records/Universal Music with the new dance-pop crossover gem “Why Do I Call” to follow up on his last year’s debut “Nights With You.” The Dutch veteran producer once again showcases his dynamic abilities by opening with soulful vocals and organic instrumentals, letting the heartfelt lyrics shine before leading into a deep house-influenced chorus. The song plays to anyone who has chased the past, adding a rhythmic dance twist to an otherwise radio-friendly track. Nicky Romero began his partnership with Virgin/Universal and forayed into the softer side of the electronic dance music spectrum just last year after also launching his underground side-project Monocule while heading up his imprint Protocol Recordings, so we can’t wait to see what he comes up with next.
After taking the world by storm with early hits such as “Legacy” with Krewella and the #1 single “I Could Be The One” with Avicii, Nicky Romero quickly proved that his talent is ever-evolving and here to stay. After launching his Protocol Recordings imprint in 2012, the renowned performer, producer, and label head continued his personal successes with a string of high-profile releases, ranging from collaborations with Armin van Buuren, David Guetta, Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, W&W, Timmy Trumpet and Steve Aoki to remixes for the likes of Robin Schulz, Kygo, Rita Ora, Steve Aoki, Martin Garrix, Jess Glynne and more. While showcasing his label’s roster via his weekly Protocol Radio show, Nicky Romero continues to innovate and evolve, and with his annual “Nicky Romero & Friends” ADE showcase and the launch of Monocule alter-ego, he keeps proving his ability to turn into gold everything he touches.

“Track of completely unimaginable beauty, with the beautiful and charismatic vocals of -Alfie arcuri-. Thanks to its interesting sound arrangement, a pleasant aftertaste appears when listening. Also the positive vibrations of Synthpop make you play it on repeat.”
“Трек совершенно невообразимой красоты, с красивым и харизматичным вокалом -Alfie Arcuri-. Благодаря интересной аранжировке остаётся приятное послевкусие после прослушивания, а позитивные вибрации synthpop заставляют поставить песню на повтор. ”

Devil’s Lips is a fun pop song with a darker and deeper meaning – similar to ‘Dancing on my own’ – a song you can dance to or cry to (but most likely both). It is about temptation, identity and a coming of age.

“This song practically brings to a state of ecstasy, as it can cause so many live emotions! R & B vocals, rhythmic Afro-Pop and very high level of sound arrangement. -Frya & Mr Kamera- can ignite their bright flame in the chest of their fans and this track is the evidence!”
“Песня практически доводит до состояния экстаза, столько живых и органичных эмоций она вызывает! R&B вокал, ритмичный afro-pop и очень высокого уровня аранжировка. -Frya & Mr Kamera- способны разжечь яркое пламя в груди своих фанатов и этот трек тому подтверждение!”

Singer and songwriter Frya has released her smash hit B.D.E following her success with Netflix’s Blood & Water Season 2 soundtrack. The 27 year-old singer has worked with celebrated producer Mr Kamera on the single, whose music video is also breathtaking. Her forthcoming album Balance is now available for pre-order.

“BDE is a song I created for myself and other women to feel empowered about what they want and to be bold enough to say it. I want the song to be a powerful statement for everyone who hears it. I want it to be a record people play when they need to feel empowered, when they’re about to shoot their shot. I just want people to feel free to be fully themselves and I hope this record helps them with that.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZIRWcPv6eY
Working on this record with Mr Kamera was so much fun. He’s such an incredible producer, he gets my voice and knows exactly how to capture that African sound and fuse it with dancehall.”
The pair worked together on the Blood & Water soundtrack – featuring four of her songs from her forthcoming album. This is a monumental feat for a new artist who is yet to release a full body of work and a true testament to Frya’s star power and talent.
The four songs Chandelier, Back it Up, Calculate and Changes are part of her much anticipated forthcoming debut album, Balance.
Her vocal prowess, relatable yet powerful writing skills and her versatile sonic embodiment makes Frya an artist to watch from the continent. Her sound is unique and fresh, inspired by her exposure to different parts of the world, having lived abroad.

“"Fantasy" has an Afro-fusion magic which you shouldn't miss. It smartly matches acoustic with electronic elements, the mix sounds crystal and that singing duo can keep you there until the last second. Very bright result and surely valuable collaboration too.”
-Nagamag.com
We tried to fuse “Afro-pop” with “RnB” and we came up with this “Afro-fusion” genre song. “Fantasy” is basically about couples who can’t be together, so it’s easier to share their imaginations (Fantasies) with their partner, just another way of connection. Sometimes you just need to leave your reality and get into a new dimension.
Also this is Thandi Marie first ever single collab, she got more coming.

“Are you ready to get lost in the magic of “Jezinky”? This piece has nothing in common with what you’ve heard so far. It’s a call for a new sound experience, where everything is made from vocals! Stunning mix of different voices forming a mystic environment which didn’t let us unaffected.”
-Nagamag.com
“There were some voices outside: “Smiley, Smiley, open the door: we only want to warm up in front of your fire and then we’ll leave you in peace. Every day the wild women of the woods, knocked on his door and finally one day Smiley opened the door and they’took him away into the woods…”
Giudi says: “Although I normally use electronic music I felt it would be wonderful to bring to everybody a piece of the mystical Czech magic, using voices as instruments so I’ve recorded a completely acapela song
Something different and authentic, inspired by our own wonderful Czech music and culture.
“Jezinky” are the legendary wild woman from the Bohemian Woods. They are mythical creatures seducing people to get lost with them in the woods. Now imagine the Jezinky represent your fears. I wanted to make a music video that reflects how people can feel lost and empty nowdays. We are all “lost in the woods” with tons of information and uncertainties. In the song I lure the listeners into my forest of spells and magic, so they can play the game with me.”
Giudi collaborates with fashion designers from across the world, but for this video she connected to the local brand Overal Office, which is a sustainable brand currenlty exporting to Asia. Giudi recycled her husband’s wedding suit into the post apocalyptic costume inspired by army style. On the music video she collaborated with her long time creative director, visual artist JaCob Ra and cinematographer Jan Moravec.
“Behind the hills, behind the mines, where do my golden antlers graze? The Jerzinky wild women took little Smiley deep into the forest! But his friend, the deer, heard his cries and came and rescued him.”

“There is always a place for good things and vivid memories in our life. This kind of music helps us not to forget about it. It is not necessary to listen to this track under a certain mood, because it is able to create it. Just enjoy your listening.”
“Всегда есть место хорошим вещам и ярким воспоминаниям в нашей жизни и такая музыка помогает об этом не забывать. Этот трек необязательно слушать под определенное настроение, ведь он сам способен его создать. Слушайте и наслаждайтесь!”
