Alas de Liona – Pages
(Video)

“Very sensual and thoroughly thought-out composition, with excellent harmony and deep leading vocal performer. Very beautiful, emotional and sometimes discreet work.”

“Детально продуманная композиция, очень чувственная, с отличной гармонией и глубоким лидирующим вокалом исполнительницы. Работа эмоциональная, местами сдержанная и очень красивая.”

-Nagamag.com

Pages is song 4 from Radio Astronomy EP which Alas describes as a bittersweet, ‘leaving on a jet plane’ type song, lyrics are pretty straightforward romantic, with a kind of corny, lite-philosophical moment.

www.alasdeliona.com

Alas de Liona hails from a small town in the Mojave Desert and her final year at UC Santa Barbara saw her head to Edinburgh in Autumn 2019, to complete the course there.

Having originally studied religious history and folklore at college, she had an instant affinity with the city’s striking architecture and artistic lineage.

During her stay, her main passion for songwriting and performing saw her starting to make a name for herself performing in Edinburgh pubs before the pandemic closed all venues.

Her haunting vocals, often compared to the likes of Joni Mitchell and Phoebe Bridgers, are woven through lyrically complex, rich imaginal soundscapes.

Finally, free from the rigour of academia, Alas is now fulfilling her musical aspirations, recording Radio Astronomy EP in December 2020 with producer Rod Jones (Idlewild) at Post Electric Studios, Leith, Edinburgh.

Cascade is the third track released from her Radio Astronomy EP. The song is about loss and dwelling in a painful memory. The video marks her debut as writer and director.

Dennis Ellsworth – Rainy Slope
(Spotify)

“Soft vocals, guitar, scorching bass and drums. Such a modest bouquet of instruments sounds very solid and one-sided. Strong song with excellent performance.”

“Мягкий вокал, гитара, обжигающий бас и ударные. Такой скромный букет инструментов звучит очень цельно и однопланово. Крепкий материал и прекрасное исполнение.”

-Nagamag.com

Dennis Ellsworth closes the loop on landmark Bound By Love Series, with Wolves Not Far, sharing ten portraits of fatherhood and life amid the struggle to find peace in this world.

“The future is grim on this one,” said Ellsworth (he/him). “Wolves Not Far has a few tributes on it, but largely deals with troubles and threats. The reality is that I strive to cast positive light onto the messy world, which all feels like a confusing dream right now. Darkness comes at the close of each day, but the light returns if we nurture our world and ourselves within it.”

“Let’s see how long it takes until it’s too late / let’s see how long it goes,” the songwriter muses on focus track, “Rainy Slope,” which mourns a lack of political leadership and accountability. “Thought you knew it all but I guess you don’t / and now you’re hanging on to a rainy slope.”

Inspired by graffiti Ellsworth would pass on morning walks with his daughter Esme, Wolves Not Far balances a fear of the unknown (“Dusk Over Everything” & “Wolves Not Far”) and human selfishness (“Cut Corners” & “Rainy Slope”) with expressions of devotion (“Sweet You” & “Honey Sky”) and tributes to heroes near and far (“DH Money” & “What’s Left?”).

Wolves Not Far marks the third and final installment in Ellsworth’s Bound By Love Series, which reconsiders the status quo of how artists release music, while sharing a staggering 32 new songs across 3 albums and 3 EPs.

“Bandcamp has gone above and beyond for artists during this precarious time, and as such, the full length albums will only be available there, in CD, LP, and digital formats,” said Ellsworth. “That said, streaming fans shouldn’t feel left out. As a companion to each full length album release on Bandcamp, we’ll be releasing a sampler EP to streaming services. If you want to hear and support the full project, you know where to find it. Everybody wins."

Gal Musette – Honeymoon
(Spotify)

“There is such music,which emanates the warmth and kindness. -Honeymoon- surprisingly it succeeds that with unusual ease. Gentle, almost airy vocals -Grace Freeman- and lyrical melody will win your heart. A jewel in your music collection.”

“Есть музыка, от которой веет теплом и добротой. -Honeymoon- на удивление это удаётся с необычной лёгкостью. Нежный, почти что воздушный вокал -Grace Freeman- и лирическая мелодия завоюют ваши сердца. Маленький бриллиант в музыкальной коллекции.”

-Nagamag.com

Idealized romances were not based on reality. It is beautiful and hard to see someone for who they really are, not who you expected/wanted them to be.

http://www.galmusettemusic.com/

Native of San Clemente, California, Gal Musette sprung up as a musical project between ages 10 and 13, which is when Young musical prodigy Grace Freeman began writing piano-based lyrical compositions and performing at local open-mics. Her whimsical approach to melody-driven indie-folk and French Chanson music captured local audiences, and at 14 her music reached a wider audience as she opened for groups like The Magnetic Fields, who inspired her to write “70 love songs” in tribute to their “69 love songs.”

Gal Musette, taking her name from the French style “Bal Musette,” an accordion-based French waltz style, draws inspiration from artists like Joni Mitchell, Regina Spektor, Bjork, Cocteau Twins, Rufus Wainwright, Irving Berlin and The Cure. In more recent years, she has opened for several renowned artists such as Macy Gray, Suzanne Vega, Todd Snyder, and Donavon Frankenreiter. In October she will be releasing her debut album “Backwards Lullaby,” featuring a vocal duet with one of her musical inspirations, Rufus Wainwright. Her upcoming album explores the pangs of hopeless romances and unrequited love, what it’s like to move beyond idealized love into the acceptance of what is real and constant, as well as the cyclical nature of life and love in relationships.

‘DRUM’ By Emmi (Video)

‘DRUM’ By Emmi
(Video)

“Vigorous, very juicy with a minimal sound. A fine example of quality arrangements. This is a very energetic, with a great performance of music, which is intertwined with interesting lyrics.”

“Энергичное, очень сочное и на единое звучание. Прекрасный образец качественной аранжировки и работы со звуком в целом. Это очень энергичная, с великолепным исполнением музыка, которая переплетается с интересными текстами.”

-Nagamag.com

“All the world’s a stage,” mused William Shakespeare in times past. “And all the men and women merely players.” It’s a particularly pertinent quote for Devon-born, Perth-raised, New York-based singer-songwriter Emmi who releases her new single “Drum” today. The single is the first offering from Emmi’s forthcoming concept project Players – a collection of epic pop songs inspired by the characters of Shakespeare’s plays, but repurposed for our times.

“Drum,” a cacophonous, percussion-heavy banger that gallops through life and death and is based around the witches from Macbeth opens the show. Written by Emmi and produced by BAYB (Ben Harrisson and Ibrahim Asmar), the avant-pop “Drum” bolts gothic drama onto sinister, Arca-esque beats.

But existentialism, Shakespeare and witches aside, there is a more personal meaning behind “Drum”. “This song is really a message to myself – ‘Step into the spotlight, don’t be so shy’. I’ve wasted years feeling too anxious to be myself in my work for fear of opinions of people I don’t even know. This single is me shaking that shit off and saying…’Fuck it. We may not have tomorrow. So this is me! With orchestras!”

In many ways Players is the perfect encapsulation of Emmi’s creative life so far. Signing to a film agent at the age of 19 Emmi upped sticks and headed to the UK with dreams of acting in period pieces and Shakespeare. Her first few songs were written in backstage corridors and theatre orchestra pits between shows. It wasn’t until another cast member held out the phone while on a call to a music manager that Emmi was discovered and her free fall into music began. Starting out via the songwriting-for-hire route, (with platinum selling co-writes for artists such as Little Nikki, Sonny Alven and French DJ Feder), meant that she could start to utilise the skills she’d learned from acting, (by imagining herself in someone else’s shoes), before cutting her teeth on her own material.

Emmi’s early self-released singles earned her early fans in the likes of Taylor Swift, Elton John, The Guardian, MTV, Billboard and BBC Radio 1’s Greg James. Despite the warm welcome and the demand for more releases, however, Emmi lost her way and made the unusual decision to vanish, no sooner than she had appeared… Until a chance email out of the blue asking her to perform a song co-written by JK Rowlingturned into an unlikely appearance in Rowling’s 2016 blockbuster Fantastic Beats and Where To Find Them as a CGI jazz singer. As part of that process Emmi got to go to London’s iconic Abbey Road studios to watch over scoring sessions, an experience that changed everything.

Three years later Emmi returns with a wealth of songs and stories to set free, with “Drum” proving a key song in her Players project and a fitting first taste of Emmi’s newfound sound. “It took three weeks and about seventeen rewrites, but that’s when I truly heard myself for the first time.” In four minutes, Emmi had managed to bottle everything about her character – the performer, the dramatist, the lover, the show-off – into music she could really believe in.

EMMI’S “DRUM” IS AVAILABLE NOW ACROSS ALL PLATFORMS

“Very sturdy material and monolithic design. From its quality sound it's proved that this single is very professional and comes from the heart. Despite the simplicity of the lyrics, the artist can easily produce some strings, which is a huge plus.”

Jake Scott – Off
(Spotify)

“Slow story with lyrical motif in which a charming chorus of -Jake Scott- rips the soul. The vocals are not just present, it is a key chip, without which the song would not exist.”

“Неспешная история с лирическим мотивом, в которой чарующий припев -Jake Scott- разрывает душу. Вокал здесь не просто присутствует, он является ключевой фишкой, без которой эта песня не могла бы существовать.”

-Nagamag.com

Jake Scott releases “Off,” the lead single from his first formal project (due this Summer). Co-written with Josh Kerr (Keith Urban, Kelsea Ballerini, Camilo Cabello, Little Big Town), “Off” is a passionate, alt-pop love song about vulnerability of love.

He capped his song a month project at the end of 2020, having released his biggest hits in the process, including “Tuesdays” (30M+ streams) and “Like No One Does” (29M+ streams), plus a sold-out debut headlining tour.
