Sir Ivan – Get Together
(Video)

“What a positive track to end your week and prepare with the best mood for weekend. Sir Ivan invites us to Get Together, as one we do more than move alone and through these good vibes and beautiful harmonics, Sir Ivan with his signature voice lifts up our energy.”

Earning a prestigious award held also by the likes of film titans Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg is certainly not what International recording artist Sir Ivan set out to do, but due to his incredibly unique concept, that is precisely what happened. Sir Ivan’s remake of the 1967 hit song “Get Together” by The Youngbloods, as a dance song, has had incredible success and now the official music video will premiere on Wednesday, September 9th at 11am EDT.

The video, prior to public release, has already won a Gold Remi in the category of “Video of the Year”. This award gave Sir Ivan the top honor out of nearly 5,000 other entries, from 53 countries, including strong international competition; especially from the USA and England.

Responding to this huge achievement, Sir Ivan says “In my almost 20 year music career, the two greatest ideas I’ve had yet, have been: 1) Remaking John Lennon’s iconic peace song ‘Imagine’ into an electronic dance record and 2) Coming up with this video concept where I assembled the world’s most famous peace leaders in history, to act as my ‘backup band’, with me as the lead singer. Neither of these ideas had ever been done before”.

In the video, character actors portray five of the most recognizable advocates of peace in the history of the world. In the second half of the video, the “backup band” moves inside Sir Ivan’s penthouse where they sit around the table, as great friends, sharing a “peace pipe”. Meanwhile, people from all walks of life are just steps away from “Sir Ivan & The Peacemen”, dancing and having a wonderful time, celebrating peace, love, and life… Together.

The music video is presented in satirical form as political speech, for the purpose of spreading the message of peace, during the current civil unrest…

Sir Ivan is donating all net proceeds from “Get Together” to The Peaceman Foundation, a charity he created to raise awareness and help those that suffer from PTSD.

More about Sir Ivan Sir Ivan aka Peaceman has dedicated his recording artist career to remaking the iconic peace songs from the 1960’s, and was the first to take a Beatles or John Lennon ballad and turn it into an Electronic Dance Music (EDM) song. “Imagine” launched Sir Ivan’s career and all his songs since have gone on to top the charts on Billboard, DJ Times, and Music Week. The passion that Sir Ivan has for spreading peace, love and equality to all humankind comes from losing 59 relatives in the Holocaust and hearing those stories from his father, Siggi, who was an Auschwitz survivor.

On April 6, 2021 the world will finally get to hear the full story of Siggi B. Wilzig. Available now for pre-order on Amazon, by author Joshua M. Greene, is “Unstoppable” – The Incredible Journey of Siggi B. Wilzig, the Auschwitz Survivor Who Over-came All Odds and Became a Wall Street Legend.

Geena Fontanella – Circles
(Spotify)

“Geena Fontanella with her rare polytropic vocal style and the brilliant yet minimal sound design of "Circles" lift up the pop emotions in an endless rhythmic harmonic rainbow.”

-Nagamag.com

Singer-songwriter Geena Fontanella has a knack for penning alt-pop hits and does it again with her new single "Circles," due out next week. The L.A. creative pens her intimate thoughts about not fitting into someone else's mold and pairs it with electrifying production.

The indie artist brings doesn't give a f**k about what other people think and brings that energy to the pop world with creative production, powerful vocals, introspective lyrics and hint of sass that leaves you begging for more.

The L.A-based singer-songwriter fell in love with music as a young kid. "I remember my mom bought me a stereo for my birthday and everyday for a year I would put in a cd and try to hit every note and run I could. Practicing over and over again. For me, it was the first thing I truly fell in love with," she explains. It wasn't until high-school that she realized her passion for writing.

"When I was a sophomore in high school, I watched a video of Katy Perry saying, 'How can you really perform a song and feel it, if you didn't write it?' I think what really struck me was that I realized, I could never be a great performer if I didn't become a great writer. I didn't want anything standing in my way of being great, so I started immediately."

Fontanella brings her refined style to "Circles," a hypnotic and rebellious dance-bop. The track flirts with electronic production and features crunchy guitars and a lilting melody. As the track blooms, a variety of vocal effects make for a unique bridge that grabs you immediately. Fontantella's artistry is abundantly clear as she shares her experience of not fitting into someone else's mold.

The Bow – Desire
(Spotify)

“Desire from "The Bow" at TAOF Records is a minimal indie pop song with a dreaming melancholic vibe which come across through a soft piano and the the warm deep vocals of the band, layered with gentle beats and partly with a synth line, a storytelling for a couple who have fallen out of love.”

-Nagamag.com

Indie pop group The Bow releases new single ‘Desire’ on August 1st on all major streaming platforms. The song takes the listener on a dreamy journey with a couple who have fallen out of love.

Self-described as a “creative and emotional journey”, The Bow combines the raw emotional vocals of Rafael Sotomayor and the musicianship of Tomek Witiak and Robin Schwarzfeld to create dreamy indie pop tunes leading up to their debut album, which is set to be released later in 2020.

Influenced by Coldplay, Muse and Ed Sheeran, The Bow have previously released three singles and accompanying music videos, with the latest single “Quiet Night” described as a modern lullaby. These songs all provide a glimpse into the full experience of The Bow and what they have in store. Their latest single ‘Desire’ is out now on all major streaming platforms.

Formed in 2019, the trio consisting of Rafael Sotomayor, Tomek Witiak and Robin Schwarzfeld combine their unique styles into a melange of Indie and Pop. The newly formed band has released three singles since the beginning of 2020 and have many more to come all the way up until their debut album, set for release later in 2020. With many years of making music on their backs and having previously been in the successful band The Art of Fusion together, the group is now looking to create their own new Indie Pop sound with catchy melodies and lyrics. The decision to strive more towards Pop music was made as this allows for reaching a bigger audience while talking about personal experiences. The band strives for an emotional sound and to achieve their dreams of sharing their music with the world and connecting people through it.

Originating in the town of Frankfurt, Germany, the lead singer Rafael wants to make his dream come true of touching people with his music and his personal views on life and love. With the strong and emotional vocals of Rafael Sotomayor and the deep and soft instrumentals of his band members they produce their unique sound, which is, in their own words, Pop music with a pinch of Alternative. The ideas for the songs came during a period where Rafael had to fight with his own feelings and tried to process these into songs. With their goal to create links between people with their music, The Bow wants to remind their audience that emotions are one of our greatest gifts. With the success of their four already released singles and their music videos, as well as the success story of their previous band, it seems The Bow is a group to watch as they are making a buzz in the Indie Pop scene.

In the bands words: “Through our music, we open ourselves to the listeners and as an artist we compromise to not ignore the problems in the world and this we consider a must. We as musicians are with our art a mirror of society and to influence it in a positive way is our aim. Confronting injustice and dreaming of a better now.”

MΛD FVN – Skeletons
(Spotify)

“A top notch electro pop with wonderful sound design full of diversity and energy, and with a vocal style which follows the same and stands out of the usual forma. MΛD FVN, She knows the “skeletons” in your closet: the lies you’ve kept from her, the disguises you put on. You hid your true self, and now that she is smart enough to know better, you can’t hide from her anger. ”

-Nagamag.com

MΛD FVN share with us few words about her:
"When I was 12, I was in an ATV accident with my brother. Then again, at age 21, I had an even worse ATV accident. Neither time was I the one driving, so other than them teaching me to never trust others with heavy machinery, they also left me with a constant, unnerving awareness of death. I realized that my biggest fear is not dying, but dying before I have the chance to give what I love, whether it’s people or passion, all that I’ve got was not an option. Those experiences gave me the gift of perseverance and perspective. I adore every moment of happiness, sadness, and everything in between, with music fueling my purpose to have a life worth living.

Music has always been my saving grace, my true passion, and my ultimate talent. Since I was a little girl, gathering crowds in department stores because I couldn’t help but sing and dance to Britney Spears playing on the store radio, I knew I was born to entertain. From singing, to dancing, to songwriting, to performing, I was born to be a singer like a cat to tearing apart furniture (I know, because I have two). Music gives me the power to embrace every part of who I am in my darkest times to my best moments, all while connecting with people from across the globe. Since growing up traveling the world, from living in Saudi Arabia to backpacking across Asia with my best friend, my ultimate goal is to connect the most emotional, raw, human parts of myself with people all over the planet through the power of music."

Eric Ananda – Standing Tall
(Spotify)

“Standing Tall from Eric Ananda is a bright electro pop song, which starts with beautiful vibes and as it moves on expands his diversity in sound design layering through a top notch mix and production. A refreshing theme with sound quality and glowing vocals! ”

-Nagamag.com

Eric Ananda is a Kenyan record producer who since early childhood has had a passion for music. Starting to play the guitar at a very young age and by the age of 6 he learnt to play the guitar and piano; through the ABRSM music board. The standards required to pass each stage of the ABRSM course equipped him with an early understanding of the dexterity required to achieve a fluent performance. At age 9, he begun to play the clarinet in order to join his preparatory school orchestra and gain the chance to expose himself to different genres of music, classical included.

In his teenage years came maturity as he explored a new interest in playing covers for songs by well known bands such as Nickelback, Daughtry, Lifehouse among many others. Meanwhile as his desire to pursue music further grew, Eric’s influence also expanded to hip-hop. There he has had the opportunity to interact with other like minds; some of which introduced him to another popular culture of music, EDM (Electronic Dance Music).

His first official release “Abode” was released in 2015 under his alias Raejbass on Ensis Records. After its positive reception, it encouraged Eric to continue experimenting in different sectors of the electronic music scene, examples of which are marketing to label managing.

In late 2018, Eric made the decision to leave Raejbass behind and begun releasing music under his legal name. 2020 has welcomed more exposure for Eric, namely contributing to releases where he will be credited as a producer and songwriter instead of an artist. Most recently, he is set to release his Debut EP “Drive” in May 2020 and looks forward to coming opportunities that the rest of the year will bring.

”

-Nagamag.com

Dutchkid return with another stylish, slice of alternative electronic pop in ‘Howling’, ahead of their debut album next year. The London-based collective with roots in South Africa, UK and USA remain serious ones to watch after selling out all three, debut headline live shows, with the biggest yet now rescheduled for Friday 11th June 2021 at Oslo (Hackney, London). With nearly 7 million streams and playlist support including New Music Friday (Spotify) and New Artist Spotlight (Apple Music), the buzz around this talented collective is real. ‘Howling’, a perfectly produced, synth-driven tune full of killer hooks will only further enhance Dutchkid’s glowing credentials. Download/stream here: https://ffm.to/dk-howling.

Dutchkid are more than just a band. They are a collective of songwriters, producers, film-makers and graphic designers, using their combined skills to independently create, record and produce their own music and art. After a fierce flurry of label interest, they signed to US powerhouse, Ultra Music in 2019, and despite the interruption in their burgeoning (sold out) live schedule, are on schedule for a big debut album in 2021. This follows a series of well-received singles on Ultra; ‘Say’, ‘Flight’, and ‘Youth’, which brought them to the attention of radio including BBC Introducing, 5FM (South Africa’s premier pop radio station) and multiple key blogs.

Stepping up to perform are Jordi van Dyk (vocals / bass), Pete Coggan (vocals / keys), Chris Smyth (synths / samples), and Jack Kircher (drums / mix engineer). Josh Hailes covers live, tech and video, and with Jordan McGregor managing the whole machine, Dutchkid are bursting with creative talent. Each member also contributes in other areas, whether it’s songwriting, producing, video, content creation, creative direction or more.

‘Howling’ delivers a stripped back electronic groove guaranteed to get heads nodding. The infectious vocal delivered by both lead vocalists tells the story of a night out with friends gone wrong, running from the cops and having the time of your life.

Dutchkid do things on their own terms, from posting on social media for just one hour a week before deleting the content, to creating their own videos and graphics, to writing and performing their distinctive and unforgettable alternative pop. ‘Howling’ is another sublime track from this talented collective as their fresh, creative approach propels them towards a major breakthrough in the very near future.
