Nathaniel Paul – songbird (Video)

“Wide open landscapes and emotions are evident in this well composed creation. S if through rosy colored, glasses the slow beat and drawn out guitar are superb. ”

-Nagamag.com

The dream is to go back. The nightmare is that we never can.

https://www.nathanielpaulhoff.com/

During quarantine, I had to make a trip to the grocery store. I met an elderly man
who struck up a conversation with me. We almost seemed to be kindred spirits.
He began the conversation with “Life is hard when you outlive all the ones
you love.”

https://www.facebook.com/NathanielPaulHoff

It seemed like a bit of a quick start to a conversation, but I could tell he
just needed someone to talk to. After talking for a while, I felt this sense that he had
that the world at large had forgotten about him. But, he had created a plan to travel
the world on a train he had read about. He could work on the train and it would
take him across the world. He was amidst planning his way out.

“songbird” was a direct inspiration from that moment. This idea of life after all that you
love and care for is gone. His story resonated with me in the way that I feel from COVID
taking away so many small businesses – so many dreams from all of us.

But what do we do now? Where do we go from here?

“songbird” hopes to take you to a place of hope amidst a looming dark shadow cast over the world.

"Cherie" represents what Tomidrey's sound is like, the talking drums is what he grew up on in Nigeria. He used talking drums instead of the common bass triplets in amapiano.

Elias Noah – Shakira (Spotify)

“A delightful midtempo gem polished to perfection. Very groovy lyrics that captivate and draw in. A feelgood track that will surely be on repeat for many trying to elevate their mood. ”

-Nagamag.com

It's a german song about a girl I met a while ago. She reminds me of the famous pop star Shakira. We only met once, but just in the few minutes we got to know each other, there was this kind of tense feeling of "love". We never met again after this day, but maybe we will. So this song is about her. It was produced by me, lyrics by me and mix mastered by me. It has a catchy hook and a very chill vibe.

Chimzy, Teni – LEVEL (Spotify)

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

“Very tasty, fresh, modern and minimalistic work. Those vocals bring in mind something very distant and certainly bright. The personification of the original musical thinking lies in the pulsating rhythms of Afrobeats. Both artists deserve some respect!”

“Очень вкусное, свежее, современное и минималистичное произведение. Вокал, под который вспоминается что-то очень далёкое и непременно светлое. Олицетворение оригинального музыкального мышления в пульсирующих ритмах Afrobeats, за что огромная благодарность авторам!”

-Nagamag.com

Afro fusion artist Chimzy’s long-awaited project, Insomnia, was born from months of sleepless nights, as the artist pondered his future. The music on the tape is the fuel that kept him going through those long, dark days. He set out to create the sounds of the feelings he was experiencing, while simultaneously resolving to take his career to the next level by carving out his place in the industry. Despite the ominous theme that both the EP’s title and cover art depict, Insomnia is full of buoyant afro fusion tracks that express a range of emotions, from desire, to disappointment, to delight. Abuja-raised and Houston-based, Chimzy is confident that his unique experiences on his musical journey set him aside from his peers. Insomnia is a capsule of the artist’s emotions, taking his fans on a turbulent yet melodious journey that showcases his writing ability and musical prowess in one.

Level is easily the standout track of the EP. Chimzy and Teni celebrate hedonism and good-living over an addictive amapiano beat that will leave listeners dancing and wanting more.

Eric Papilaya – Getting Pretty Loose (Spotify)

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

“The quintessence of this track is splendor in its purest form! A chic idea, which very successfully combined Funk and Pop Rock. Energetic, bright and very charismatic vocals instantly create the right mood. There is a slight breeze here, an unusual and memorable song.”

“Квинтэссенция этого трека великолепие в чистом виде! Шикарная идея, в которой очень удачно совместили Funk и Pop Rock. Энергичный, яркий и очень харизматичный вокал мгновенно создаёт нужное настроение. Присутствует какое-то лёгкое дуновение ветерка, необычное и запоминающееся произведение.”

At a time when the whole world is stuck at home, creative musicians actually be grateful. At what other time, do you have so much time to produce songs, write lyrics and think about your projects. Eric had massive issues with this statement: “I missed my band and the live sessions a lot. I write a lot of material, but first and foremost I am someone who has the most fun on stage or in the rehearsal room ”

After a very contemplative album, the Upper Austrian wanted to go back to his musical roots and have fun with music. It was all about getting creative in the home studio.

Eric listened to a lot of music from the Motown era: Stevie Wonder, Prince, old Michael Jackson albums. The kind of music that made him feel like he was in a jam session, even if he was just sitting alone on the electric piano or guitar.

When Eric started to write, the return to the English language came naturally. Since his hit “Get Alive”, Eric has been almost exclusively German-speaking. But, when it comes to the fun of making music, the simplicity and ease in phonetics, it is just easier to do this in English. And, it also was great for his record company based in Munich and Nashville. So Eric is back at writing more international works and introduces them by releasing the funky soul pop track “Getting Pretty Loose” as the first single on his next album.

The track pays homage to Prince, one of the artists who shaped Eric the most. “Getting Pretty Loose” is simply meant to convey the feeling that Eric had when he bought his first Prince album. The driving groove, edgy Fender Rhodes sounds, funky bass lines, and then Eric's distinctive voice spiced with a fine twang.

“Getting Pretty Loose” is the perfect appetizer of his upcoming album that puts Eric Papilaya's greatest qualities as an artist first: Passion and Entertainment!

“This stand among the creations with a high level of composing skill. Starting with slow emotion, gradual growth of feelings and finallythe explosion! Sometimes music easily raise our body temperature, causing a storm of emotions!”

“Почётное место среди творений с высоким уровнем мастерства и масштабностью композиторского взгляда. Медленный накал эмоций, постепенное нарастание чувств и после взрыв! О, да, иногда музыка с лёгкостью поднимает температуру по всему телу и вызывает бурю эмоций!”

-Nagamag.com

This is one of the focus tracks of WE ARE AVA's debut album INNER GARDENING. Enveloped in a dreamy, multi-layered soundscape, the album track sings about the numbness and emptiness after a painful breakup with a touch of humor but an even greater amount of brutal honesty. «I saw that you unfollowed me on Instagram. Didn't think that you would for real. I know that's what people do when they break up. But man, this shit hurts like hell.» When what just can't be let go needs to be said again: «You told me that you’ll try to do much better, told me you won’t quit when it gets hard. You told me you were more in love than ever. I can’t believe we ruined something this good.»

YEOMAN, Fvntvcy – Falling (feat. Fvntvcy) (Spotify)

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

“A very experimental and unusual track, with mysterious atmosphere too. Those vocals can instantly fascinate and captivate the mind! An exciting combination of Electro Pop and Chillstep rhythms, which will not leave anyone indifferent.”

“Весьма экспериментальный и необычный трек, в котором присутствует загадочная атмосфера, в чём и заключается его ценность. Вы только послушайте этот вокал - он завораживает и мгновенно берёт вас в плен! Захватывающее сочетание Electro Pop и ритмов Chillstep, которое не оставит никого равнодушными.”

-Nagamag.com

Falling, at its essence is about a yearning for connection. Over the past year we have all felt disconnection; from loved ones, from nature. Written in 2020, during pandemic lockdowns Falling is my attempt to convey and counteract this sense of isolation. In order to do this I’ve incorporated natural elements into the sound design such as rain, sand, wind and even a fire crackling.

The track falling is heavy based around the piano in juxtaposition to the with super wide electronic saws synths and melodic bass throbs. I felt it was the perfect way to express such emotion, with a ’cinematic’ vastness; I wanted the listener to feel like they were floating in space euphorically.
