Anzhelika Kovalenko – Black Earth (Kara Toprak) by Fazil Say | WeLive on Tour | Live im Parktheater (Video)

Categories: Features, Neoclassical, Neoclassical Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , , |

“-Black Earth- combines the experimental component, which as it is developed, is revealed before the listener. In the begining you are immersed in melodic waves and it seems that the Earth leaves under your feet, but after a couple of minutes, the piano melody absorbs and takes you into oblivion. Awesome journey.”

“-Black Earth- сочетает в себе экспериментальную составляющую, которая по мере развития раскрывается перед слушателем. Сначала вас погружают в мелодический хаос и, кажется, что земля уходит из-под ног, но уже спустя пару минут мелодия фортепиано поглощает и уносит в небытие на своих волнах. Потрясающее путешествие.”

Fable – Fall Away (Spotify)

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

“Lyrically, 'Fall Away' by Fable is bang up to date, addressing current issues, realising that what will be will be, deal with it. Musically, the track is dominated by Fable's captivating, poignant vocals. A melancholic piano and vocals intro, builds into an emotive, cinematic style strings middle eight before fading out with the distinct feeling of regretful acceptance.”

-Nagamag.com

Brighton-based artist Fable today unveils her brand new single ‘Fall Away’, out now via Naim Records. The single is the latest offering from her forthcoming debut album and follows in the wake of the trip-hop and neo-soul blending singles, ‘Orbiting’ and ‘Womb’, which received acclaim from BBC 6 Music, NME and earned her a place as The Independent’s Spotlight Artist of the week.

With its luscious, cinematic feel, ‘Fall Away’ surges and pulls at you from a slow, beautiful build to a mid-section of glorious strings, all capped by Fable’s incredible vocal. “Fall Away’ is an attempt to be at peace with reality, despite the destruction of our natural world. It tries to accept that all things will come to an end, and that to resist this idea is like swimming upstream. The line ‘long may the grass grow’ is a recognition that even if humanity doesn’t survive, consciousness in other forms will continue” Fable explains.

“I think it’s always been important for me to live in the present, and to make peace with the idea of my own death. I drew inspiration from the meaning behind The Beatles’ ‘Let It Be’. The track has a cinematic feel, and I wanted the production to be a very physical experience. The track was written in an afternoon, and the vocal is a one take raw improvisation”

Having built up a reputation as one of the UK’s most promising new artists, being lauded by the likes of The Guardian, Mixmag, Q and Rolling Stone, collaborating with Orbital and playing at Glastonbury, the tragic loss of a close friend and resultant burnout and depression led to Fable taking time out from her music career in 2016 to protect her mental health. Four years later, and now an ambassador for mental health charity My Black Dog, Fable is relaunching her sound to the world, with previous singles ‘Orbiting’ and ‘Womb’ unveiled this year.

Vincent Liou Interview on Nagamag

.


Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Vincent Liou:
Indie pop


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Vincent Liou:
I started piano when I was young and then played bass and clarinet for a few years. I loved making huge chords on the piano. I joined a band (Crash Coordinates) in high school and played minimal keys – I was basically the hype man. I wrote my first song in college in 2010 where I (low-key) ripped off Owl City’s ‘”Fireflies.” I wrote four EPs and recorded with Bob Hoag during that time. After graduating from PA school in Massachusetts, I moved back to Arizona to live with my momma (school is expensive you know!). After I came back, I met a girl who was cool, but she broke my heart – she was dating someone else at the same time we were together. My most recent ‘Big Surf’ EP are the songs that came out of that experience.


Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Vincent Liou:
I was lucky enough to have parents that liked good music. My dad would play John Denver and my mom played The Eagles. From there I started discovering new artists that really helped color my world. The artists that really showed me that music was freedom are many but Primus, The Locust, Minus the Bear, really solidified my belief.


Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Vincent Liou:
Whitney Houston "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)"


Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Vincent Liou:
Bonnie Raitt "I Can't Make You Love Me"
