Cheesy Vibes, Rayzor – Finally
(Spotify)

“Tremendous work that fascinates with every next second. When you realize that you need more and more, the single -Finally- already ended. You put it on repeat, again and again while that afrobeats melody dissolves you in this endless, closed cycle.”

“Потрясающая работа, которая завораживает с каждой следующей секундой и ты осознаёшь, что тебе нужно всё больше и больше, а сингл -Finally- уже закончился. Ты ставишь его на повтор, потом ещё и ещё и мелодия afrobeats растворяет тебя в этом бесконечном, замкнутом круговороте.”

"Finally" is a me-and-bae afro bounce song by Cheesy Vibes and Rayzor. Produced by Skimzea, "Finally" being a mid-tempo record, entails the starting process of a fresh-young couple's relationship.

Starting, Rayzor leads with his smooth vocals, as he lyrically expresses heartwarming feelings towards his Ghanaian beau, 'Angelina': "I don't need to cap much, I really want you".

Finalizing, Cheesy Vibes finesses: "And, if I give you love one day... Never break my heart, [because] we gonna' die on this". Proudly boasting the key possession to his lover's heart, Cheesy Vibes also feels she enjoys the musical melodies he creates.

MoonBell – Loss (Spotify)

MoonBell – Loss
(Spotify)

“"MoonBell" has a new beauty to offer and it's called "Loss". Smooth, peaceful composition with multiple sound layers and a slight taste of vocals. Very relaxing and stress-relieving work, which can be easily appreciated from the first seconds.”

-Nagamag.com

Loss and grief affects everyone a bit different: sometimes it's a haunting memory, sometimes it hits you like a train. The changing nature of the song reflects how loss stays with us and changes shapes. However, the song ends on a more thankful tone pushing the listener towards a perspective of gratitude, not in order to move past the loss, but simply to view it in a different light. My hope is that this song brings comfort to listeners. This is also the last single before the full LP is released.

MoonBell's greatest fear is to forget: lose his memory, forget his loved ones, and lose his self. But this multi-instrumentalist is creating worlds for his memories to live on; MoonBell is a storyteller through synths, choral voices, looping effects and of course, his trumpet which can be heard in the foreground or background of almost every song. Influenced by his experiences living and travelling in the Canadian Prairies, the Rocky Mountains, and Spain, MoonBell composes his music like a symphony, meticulously layering sound after sound, memory after memory, with an end result that completely entrances listeners.

Josephine Philip – Call My Name (Spotify)

Josephine Philip – Call My Name
(Spotify)

“There are no words that can convey the beauty of the melody from -Call My Name-. Sound smooth as the sea surface from a bright, sunny day. Sound aesthetics with their own space. You don't notice how fast are four minutes of composition and you are back to your home port.”

“Нет ни одного слова, которое сможет передать всю красоту мелодии -Call My Name-. Звучание ровное, как морская гладь в яркий, солнечный день. Настоящая эстетика звука, в которой есть свой собственный космос. Не замечаешь, как быстро проходят четыре минуты композиции и ты возвращаешься в свою родную гавань.”

-Nagamag.com

Call My Name is a song about love and longing. The longing to be together, to be important, to be held, to be adored, to be missed and ultimately, the burning longing for somebody ready to make sacrifices to save you. A respite from the ordinary terrors we often face alone. It is also a song about staying strong under unbearable conditions and finding strength in loss. The insisting and mesmerizing vocal - equally strong and fragile, is accompanied by a sparse and dreamy composition with trippy drums. It pushes and pulls with the raw strength of the tide. Immersive and confident, the song engulfs you and carries you away.

Singer, composer and performer Josephine Philip lives and works in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Her work is influenced by a multitude of artistic expressions; choir works, contemporary art and performance, jazz standards, experimental music, film, literature and classical music. Call My Name is the first single from Josephine Philip as a solo artist.

Philip began working on her forthcoming album during the winter of 2019 and the process accelerated in the pandemic year of 2020. The mutual isolation that many of us shared, became a catalyst for the process and both compositions and lyrics resonate the personal and communal experiences of this period - cycles of intense being, joy, despair, love, frustration and careful optimism, shattered by pessimism, and then briefly relieved by hope.

The songs are written and produced in collaboration with Copenhagen based producer and musician Lasse Martinussen.

GIVVEN – Toxic
(Spotify)

“It kept everything so efficiently, that I want a standing ovation. Everything is designed with a lot of bright and memorable melodies and fragments of a fabulous vocal solo. -Toxic- has a clear electro pop colour that can attract every listener.”

“Сведено всё настолько качественно, что хочется аплодировать стоя. Всё выдержано в стиле electro pop, много ярких и запоминающихся фрагментов мелодии и просто сказочное вокальное соло. -Toxic- с явным колоритом, способный зацепить любого слушателя.”

-Nagamag.com

Mysterious electronic pop trio, GIVVEN bring their unique flavour to this oft-covered Britney Spears classic. Their signature falsetto vocals float effortlessly over a warm electronic beat. Bolstered by uplifting piano chords in the chorus and off-kilter vocal chops, GIVVEN have pulled “Toxic” into a brand new world that feels familiar, but exciting at the same time.

Olanrewajumusic – This Wonderful Feeling ft. Buju
(Video)

“Cute and dreamy Pop song inspired by the pure feeling of love. The sound that brings some fresh air in your mood and can take away all the negative energy. That wonderful feeling, difficult to describe but surely easier to express through sound!”

-Nagamag.com

This song basically tries to express the feeling of love using sounds and melodies, by understanding the way people feel and express love is different worldwide but the feeling that comes with being in love is the same, personal, and cannot really be explained but felt.

Video shooted in Hull, United Kingdom with lots of colours, smiles, and genuine fun

Will Wallace & Laurel Smith – GIRLS MONEY CARS
(Video)

“Will Wallace & Laurel Smith appear with this Electro super track. Ecstatic and dynamic sound. Wicked bass and lead loops mixed with a breathless voice that immediately stimulates your ears.”

-Nagamag.com

LONDON – DJ and producer Will Wallace and singer- songwriter Laurel Smith unleash a dark-pop club anthem and music video for ‘Girls, Money, Cars’.

A phenomenal new release from Preston’s rising new name in music production, Will Wallace emerges with slick sound and visuals, and Laurel Smith brings the kind of bad-B energy you’d look for in North London’s emerging music scene. The pair have been quietly working on a smash dark-pop meets future bass single.

This collaboration is nothing short of perfect, a cocktail of the work of two seemingly disparate artists, surprising their respective fanbases after the successful release of Will’s upbeat electronic hit ‘Greenlight’ and Laurel’s far moodier ‘Out the Cage’ hit the air waves.

Will’s evolving sound proves he can’t be pinned to one genre – ‘Girls, Money, Cars’ is complex, both pop and trap-heavy yet impressively spacey, hypnotic and rounded. Dripping with unapologetic badass attitude, Laurel commands her breathy controlled vocals over sharp, incisive lyrics that she wrote for this track, pointing to the music industry’s subjugation of women that keeps them trapped in a male-gaze public image.

Dark and delicious,‘Girls, Money, Cars’ illuminates the warped, disorienting reality of entertainment, through an ecstatic, highly-produced mix that seriously ups-the-anti on new wave revenge-anthems.

The creative approach in the video is stellar, immediately hooking us with the nostalgic visuals of Y2K house parties, ironically placed over Laurel’s intimidating vocals, only to take an immaculate left-turn into a climaxing bassline from Will. We anticipate Will’s return to the stage with this creative ensemble, after his roster list of shows played pre-lockdown, including the notorious Don’t Let Daddy Know at the O2 Victoria Warehouse. Be ready to hear Will Wallace’s exhilarating drops on this banger across the clubs this summer, and watch Laurel’s dead-pan, covergirl—bound face on your screen in awe.

Demzer – Today We Pray
(Spotify)

“Soft sound, enticing words, soulful melody and message. Elegant wave arrangement with the touching voice of Devon Mozer. His exciting vocals reveal an interesting climax. The result is a beautiful lyrical ballad for your collection.”

“Мягкое звучание, заманчивый текст, душевная мелодия и посыл, изящная аранжировка и трогательный голос -Devon Mozer-. Его волнительный вокал добавляет лирики в кульминационные моменты. Как результат - прекрасная лиричная баллада в ваших коллекциях.”

-Nagamag.com

DEMZER is an artist and songwriter signed with DeMoga Music in 2020. With a special timber and an amazing attitude, Demzer has both the talent and the looks, while putting up the work needed. "Today We Pray" is the first song that he released alongside the DeMoga Music team, written with Bianca Dragomir, Tomi Weissbuch and produced by Alexander Sambo.

He was discovered by Marius Moga, a Grammy Nominated songwriter for a Maroon 5 song, signed with Universal Publishing America and the biggest romanian hitmaker of the 21st century, as named by the press.

The timing was perfect, as Devon was about to give up on his dream, and join the University of Medicine. This song tells a lot about the struggle he put in and the hope he had, as a personal experience, beautifully exposed on a melody.

Devon spends his days in the studio, as his new achievable dream is to become international.

"Today We Pray is a song that touched my heart from the first instant, as my next songs are more catchy, but less profound. We want to show the world who I am through my music, while considering the fact that people need to dance on my melodies. I hope the effort that we put in will be seen by everyone, as I have amazing people around me, with lots of talent and that should count", said Demzer.

"Demzer is that breathtaking talent that you only meet a few times in your lifetime. From the first moment I heard him, I knew that he's destined to be great and I will do everything in my power to get him there. But his contrastating modesty is what makes him even more special. I know that his voice is needed in the worldwide musical landscape and the fact that he already wrote dozens of songs, really matters. We hope you all enjoy what we shared with the world", said Marius Moga.
