Arrowsmith – Soar

Categories: Audio, Features, Neoclassical, Neoclassical Features, The Latest|Tags: (Neo) Classical, Review (EN-RU), solo piano|

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
Interesting interweaving percussion elements and piano melodies. At the same time, both parties are not trying to intercept the initiative by each other, creating a well-balanced composition. The condition of the flight of the soul, body weightlessness and the complete cleansing of thoughts.”

“Интересное переплетение перкуссионных элементов и мелодии пиано. При этом обе партии не пытаются перехватить инициативу друг у друга, создавая отлично сбалансированную композицию. Состояние полёта души, невесомости тела и полное очищение мыслей.”

Soar is the latest release in a series of pieces composed around the modern relationships beginning, middle and increasingly common end. With the second release ‘Fly’ depiciting the honey-moon period, Soar is composed around the beginning of a relationship ending.

Soar is overall a very positive piece; however, these parts are constantly overwhelming the fractures which can be heard panned hard left and right.

Jordan Jones – Stumble
(Spotify)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
Just incredible and stunning work with a bass line. Listening and exciting rhythm, which causes a very strong emotional emission of adrenaline. Beautiful glitter elements only give charm and emphasizes the romantic lyrics in the text.”

“Просто невероятная и потрясающая работа с басовой линией. Оглушительный и возбуждающий ритм, который вызывает очень сильный эмоциональный выброс адреналина. Красивые глитчевые элементы лишь придают обаяние и подчёркивает романтическую лирику в тексте.”

Artist said about this song:

"Coming off the successful release of my debut single 'Break My Heart which was about my 10 year relationship ending abruptly, my second single 'STUMBLE' is a high energy pop song about being in a new relationship, personal development, and open communication. I spent a couple of years on hard personal development so I could be the best version of myself and give that to someone who deserves all of me. Open and honest communication in a relationship is so important and I wanted to capture that in STUMBLE. I just want to spread love with my music and this song is about that....LOVE & CONNECTION."

Fable – Shame
(Video)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
This song practically binds your love for music and the genres of Electro Pop and Trip-Hop and there is a feeling that unearthly vibrations penetrated into the soul and no longer want to leave this condition for a minute. Extremely eccentric and memorable creation from -Fable-!”

“Эта песня практически привязывает вашу любовь к музыке и жанрам Electro Pop и Trip-Hop и возникает ощущение, будто неземные вибрации проникли в душу и уже не хочется покидать это состояние ни на минуту. Крайне эксцентричное и запоминающееся творение от -Fable-!”

-Nagamag.com

Devon-born singer-songwriter Fable today announces her much anticipated debut album Shame, due on 20th May via Naim Records. The announcement comes accompanied by the release of the title track ‘Shame’, out now with a striking video directed by Matt Hutchings.

https://www.facebook.com/whoisfable

Driven on by a dynamic synth arpeggio and Fable’s spectral vocals, ‘Shame’ laments the state of the world and the uphill battle her generation faces, and is emphasised by a powerfully hyper-fake video that delves into themes of overconsumption, vanity and toxic media.

“Shame masquerades as a sleek pop song, but when you unpack the themes it’s uneasy in its skin. I wrote the synth arpeggio first and built the vocal around my beat and brought it to the studio where Jonas Persson and I turned into this sharp, melancholic pop track. It’s about the feeling of impending pressure in the modern world being met with ever increasing resistance to do anything differently.

“I think it’s really important that people take what they want from the video. Our generation needs to relate differently to our history than previous ones, as we try to reclaim our identity, separate from the one history has handed us. Working with my visual collaborator, Matt Hutchings, I wanted to broaden the scope a little more and ask some searching questions about the nature of shame and the state of society right now,” Fable explains

Having last year relaunched an impressive fledgling career that had already included performing at Glastonbury and collaborating with Orbital, Fable’s second coming has been met with enthusiasm from tastemakers, including NME, 6Music, CLASH and The Independent, notably for the trip hop and neo soul blending ‘Orbiting’, which has racked up over a million streams, and the emotionally introspective ‘Womb’. Signed to Naim Records, the label wing of the award-winning premium audio brand, and an ambassador for mental health charity My Black Dog, she has recorded a debut album of genre-fluid, searingly honest and darkly beautiful music that spans from urgent post punk to introspective electronica, whilst posing questions that are both timely and personal, yet timeless.

il:lo – Soldiner
(Video)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
Beautiful, relaxing Chillwave melody on calm hypnotic waves DownTempo. Just click on the play button and feel how your body breaks away from this world and ferry in the swelling. Almost 6 minutes of bliss at your personal disposal!”

“Красивая, расслабляющая мелодия Chillwave на спокойных волнах гипнотического Downtempo. Просто нажмите на кнопку воспроизведения и почувствуйте, как ваше тело отрывается от этого мира и парит в поднебесье. Практически 6 минут блаженства в вашем личном распоряжении!”

https://il-lo.ffm.to/soldiner

French electronic duo il:lo announces that they have signed to Nettwerk (Ark Patrol, Dreamers Delight, Hermitude) and make their label debut with the new single “Soldiner.” Comprised of producers Dejan Dejado and Andreas Schültz, il:lo creates an angular, yet airy deep house blend with expansive builds and mesmerising textures.

“Our new single Soldiner stands out from previous releases and marks the beginning of a new era, a musical production resolutely turned towards deep house which is more on electronic elements,” the duo remarks. “We wanted to grab the listener with powerful leads and soulful arpeggiators. This track is an emotional journey with a joyful start, intense body and final resolution.”

Producers Dejan Dejado and Andreas Schültz prove that two heads are better than one. After meeting in Prague in 2010, the duo formed a fast musical connection that spawned their dynamic and sprawling electronic act il:lo. With Dejado digging into unique samples and Andreas the editing and arranging mastermind, il:lo embody a yin and yang style of complimentary forces.

They describe il:lo as “difficult to capture or hold permanently, having wings.” This meaning can be derived from the definition of the world volatile and highlights their proclivity for shape-shifting moods and the uncanny ability to mutate between downtempo, trip hop, and deep house. Their influences are as far ranging as their music, citing 90s IDM, liquid drum & bass, and even hip-hop, jazz, and world music as playing a role in their compositions.

Throughout their career, il:lo have toured much of Europe taking cues from the exotic architecture around them. The angular aesthetic serves as a driving force in their bold minimalism. From 2015 EP Places to 2019’s Sloh, the duo’s creative vision is apparent in both their musical evolution and their visual identity.

Following the release of Sloh, il:lo took to the road once more touring with renowned beatmaker Blockhead as well as collaborating with electronic mainstay Emancipator, and the otherworldly CloZee on official remixes. They continued to broaden their horizons with remixes for Mt. Wolf, Panama and Jerro. At the top of 2022, il:lo unveiled their first live record with Anjunadeep Live Sessions, a culmination of their work with the progressive London-based dance label Anjunadeep.

Now, joining forces with Nettwerk, il:lo’s composition methods remain unchanged. Through their endless musical journey, the dualistic mindset continues to evolve and encourage listeners to let go and take flight.

Stay tuned for more from il:lo.

LIIFE & Kem Otto – Huan
(Spotify)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
In the HOUSE music genre, it is very important to configure the listener to the desired way, focusing the focus on intoxicating and hypnotic rhythm, which is accompanied by a meditative melody. -Liife & Kem Otto- found a real spring source from which they absorbed all the magic of their new track.”

“В жанре House музыки очень важно настроить слушателя на нужный лад, фокусируя основное внимание на опьяняющий и гипнотический ритм, который сопровождается медитативной мелодией. -LIIFE & Kem Otto- нашли настоящий родниковый источник, из которого они впитали всю магию своего нового трека.”

-Nagamag.com

The handdrum is one of my favourite instruments. The soft, expressive tone in immersive rhythms is the perfect ingredient for a driving, moody organic house track in the style of Viken Arman or Nu. We recorded the song in Bali and it will be the first release of our new label trybe.

blackwave – good day
(Spotify)

“Most of us struggle to overcome difficulties in this life and "blackwave" knows this very well. In their new single they share some of the most honest thoughts with their audience and state the undeniable truth; A good day is just an exception to their rule...”

-Nagamag.com

Quote from Blackwave about the song:

"This song is definitely our most personal and honest one yet. A lot of the events that happened over the past years, since the release of our debut album in 2019, made us dig deeper than we ever did before. After releasing an album we worked on so restlessly, we had a hard time finding purpose again. Both in our own way, we went through really dark times. We decided that we needed a more direct approach in our songwriting, and 'good day' is a first byproduct of that new way of working.

'good day' is about being in a really dark place and dealing with it on your own while trying to maintain an untroubled image towards the outside world. We often don't think about what people are going through on a daily basis, and might only see them on a 'good day'. We talk about some really personal things in the lyrics, including depression and loss.

The instrumentation of the track is purposely uplifting and tuneful, as we wanted to create a contrast between the meaning of the lyrics and the overall atmosphere of the track, as well as to translate the feeling of trying to lift yourself up while being so downhearted. The gospel influence in the vocal samples and chords additionally contributes to the uplifting sentiment we ultimately want people to take away from the track.

It kind of feels like a triumph being able to release this track and talk about these things. We feel like it's important to break the taboos surrounding them and to be able to speak about it honestly and openly."

Lyrics:

Chorus (Jay)

Dreaming

All night, all day I don't sleep

Gravity don't exist 'round here

I can't get off my feet

So why won't you blow the dust off my surface

Fix me up and give me purpose

Even if I don't need it

Just 'cause you caught me on a good day

Verse (Willem)

Laying still, taking pills

Just to get out of bed

I'm missing thrills, cannot feel

'Cause I'm light in my head

Ain't paying bills, way too chill

Wish I got fire instead

But on the real nothing feels like it's posing a threat

Everyday feels the same, I stopped looking ahead

A long time ago, I was sure this was my path

I wanna be lead, I wanna be taken away

Tears to be shed, but I don't feel nothing

You just caught me on a good day

And I'm just feeling like a bootleg version of myself

Should approach it in a new way

New pace, true friends, losing all my loose ends

Foolish, acting like it's easy to be fooled with

I gotta take it seriously, seriously

This shit is fucking killing me

I've been ignoring this for too long

I gotta move on, go to bed with my shoes on

And start

Chorus (Jay)

Dreaming

All night, all day I don't sleep

Gravity don't exist 'round here

I can't get off my feet

So why won't you blow the dust off my surface

Fix me up and give me purpose

Even if I don't need it

Just 'cause you caught me on a good day

Verse (Jay)

Two in the afternoon turn and I snooze

No Zzz’s, mind clouded by the news

Of my pops that suddenly died in foreign

Ears ringing, couldn’t even hear the silence for ‘im

Prrrrrr, I turn and I snooze

I'd rather be on fun shit but today i lose

A battle i didn’t choose but I had to pick

Right now i just need the world to get off my _

And quit tryna fix my shit for me

I just need time

But it seems I can’t afford it

Always need to be rollin, always something important

That be knocking at my dox in the morning

Yet I rise and shine but rarely on time

Tired of maintaining that 9 to 5 smile

While feeding my addiction of escaping what’s before me

Can’t control but i know i just gotta get back to

Chorus (Jay)

Dreaming

All night, all day I don't sleep

Gravity don't exist 'round here

I can't get off my feet

So why won't you blow the dust off my surface

Fix me up and give me purpose

Even if I don't need it

Just 'cause you caught me on a good day

Bridge

Chorus (Jay)

Dreaming

All night, all day I don't sleep

Gravity don't exist 'round here

I can't get off my feet

So why won't you blow the dust off my surface

Fix me up and give me purpose

Even if I don't need it

Just 'cause you caught me on a good day

Michael Dunstan – Walk The Streets On Sunrise
(Spotify)

“-Automatic Translation with Google Translate-
Remember when you last walked under the first rays of the sun at dawn? -Michael Dunstan- reminds how important it is to be happy and independent of material things and enjoy simple, but such important components. Acoustic folk in the rays of flaming dawn!”

“Вспомните, когда вы в последний раз гуляли под первыми лучами солнца на рассвете? -Michael Dunstan- напоминает, как важно быть счастливым и независимым от материальных вещей и наслаждаться простыми, но такими важными составляющими. Акустический фолк в лучах пылающего рассвета!”

'Walk The Streets On Sunrise' is releasing today (March 18th, in Australia) and has already been placed in Spotify's New Music Friday AU/NZ.

The song was written at the beginning of last winter. With long busy days working, I began running before dawn and would often run down empty streets resemblant of airport runways, to be greeted with the stillest, most wonderful sunrises. With no one around, and no sound. Peace and quiet, in the city? The impact it had on my day, as it became busier, was profound. That stillness never left, and inspired me hugely throughout the day, and how I interacted with everyone around me.

The song is written from an imagined perspective of an older male, with limited days left on this extraordinary planet we are blessed to call home. In imagining how I'd feel in this person's situation, I feel the urgency and inspiration to make the most of every morning, every day I wake up breathing. I hope you enjoy the song, and keep finding moments to be grateful for each day. Let the peace fill your life.

It is the second single off an upcoming second studio album titled 'Impermanence', due to be released June 2022.

Lyrics:

Am I alone? Or are we living life in fast forward?

Scrambling from dusk till dawn,

For food to eat, for a place to call our home.

Well he said, I’ve been working all this time,

To find I never lived, right before I die.

And that’s why I walk the streets on sunrise.

And let the peace fill your life.

It’s so damn nice.

Peace and quiet.

Watch the birds take flight.

When you walk the streets on sunrise.

To be awake while the city sleeps is to witness an Earth at ease.

The cool morning stars they fade.

The roads are empty like runways.

Machines rise, the birds they hide.

But it’s okay for you have the silence inside.

And that’s why I walk the streets on sunrise.

And let it inspire my life.

It’s so damn nice.

Peace and quiet.

Watch the birds take flight.

When you walk the streets on sunrise.
