FERHAT – My Istanbul (Video)

Categories: The Latest, Video, World Music|Tags: , , , , |

“Strong instrumental intro with inspired symphonic samples. From the very first seconds you feel the absorbing sound atmosphere. Something great, mighty, breaking through the arrow. The magnificent vocal solo of -Ferhat- is immersed in real trance.”

“Сильное инструментальное интро с внушающими симфоническими сэмплами. С самых первых секунд чувствуешь поглощающую звуковую атмосферу. Нечто великое, могучего, пробивающая насквозь стрела. Великолепное вокальное соло -FERHAT- на протяжение всей композиции погружает в настоящий транс.”

FERHAT meldet sich zurück. Nach dem hochgehandelten, zornig-virtuosen Track „Father State“, bringt der frischgebackene Preisträger der Deutschen Popstiftung in der Kategorie „Bester neuer Rock & Popkünstler 2020“ seinen neuen Track

MY ISTANBUL

. Und erneut lässt

FERHAT

keinen Zweifel an seiner Überzeugung: Mit seiner aufsehenerregenden Fusion aus modernem Sound und traditionellen Klängen seiner türkischen Herkunft ergreift er wieder das Wort gegen die Beschränkungen von Liebe, Religion und persönlicher Freiheit. Auch das eindringliche Video der türkischen Szene-Regisseurin Irmak Altiner unterstreicht mit fast schmerzhaft-intimen Close-ups die Beweisführung der Anklage:

A simple salesman in a cheap fashion store went outside to smoke his cigarette – they came and said it‘s Ramadan and beat him down, so he won’t forget

.

My Istanbul, a poisoned breath is inhaling you.

MY ISTANBUL

entstand gemeinsam mit dem syrisch-stämmigen Songwriter Masen Abou Dakn und wurde jüngst für einen German Songwriting Award nominiert, während die Fachwelt kommentiert: „In dem eindringlichen schwarz-weiß Video wird in klaren Worten Istanbul in der Jetztzeit beschrieben. Verzweiflung und Agonie: ‚My Istanbul, a strange wind is blowing through my Istanbul‘. Nach den Demonstrationen auf dem Taksim-Platz und der Veränderung, die die Erdogan-Regierung herbeigeführt hat, wird die Situation durch eine minimalisierte und sehr persönliche Bild- und Klangsprache dargestellt.“ Musikalisch steuern dem drängenden Plädoyer von

MY ISTANBUL

auch Jan Brauer von Brandt Brauer Frick sowie der renommierte DJ Matt Star (u.a. Tresor) starke Remixe bei.

Das Urteil? Der Berliner Musicboard-Stipendiat lässt nicht locker. Mit beeindruckender Leidenschaft und Vehemenz hält

FERHAT

an den Fragen fest, die auch Motor seiner musikalischen Kraft sind: „Warum darf ich nicht alles sein, was ich liebe? Ich rufe zur Versöhnung auf, denn am Ende sind wir einfach Menschen.“

“Neoclassical diamond that carries all the striking glow of the piano and violin. Smooth balance of synthesis in a piece starting slowly and finishing a bit faster. Harmonized with the concept of “home” it brings thoughts of the significance of our planet.”

In Inertia, Zaman – Hikari (Spotify)

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

“A refreshing, multi-layered ambient with light reverbed electric guitar and strings. These elements combine the kindest memories and feelings with a light, unobtrusive shade of post-rock. Peaceful atmosphere of solitude and harmony.”

“Освежающие, многослойные слои ambient и drone и лёгкая реверберация электрогитары и струн. В этих элементах сочетаются самые добрые воспоминания и чувства, с лёгким, ненавязчивым оттенком post-rock. Умиротворение в атмосфере уединения и гармонии.”

-Nagamag.com

Hikari is the collaboration between instrumental duo In Inertia with neo-classical composer Zaman. This song is released under Angular//Momentum Records. In HIKARI is a Japanese term for light.

Theodosius Bates, Scholler – Danshari (Spotify)

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

“It happens that the beauty of the world around us comes up with a lump in the throat and does not allow us to take another sip. It's all because of such beautiful, sensual neoclassical pieces like -Danshari-. A lonely sounding cello and piano accompaniment. The perfect union that conjures up fabulous images.”

“Бывает, что красота окружающего нас мира подступает комом в горле и не даёт сделать очередной глоток. Всему виной такие прекрасные, чувственные неоклассические произведения, как -Danshari-. Одиноко звучащая виолончель и аккомпанемент пиано. Идеальный союз, который рисует в воображение сказочные образы. ”

Eminel – Slide (Spotify)

“Listen to this pleasant story from "Eminel" and get away from everyday's madness. Hot like Summer heat Afro-fusion creation. Let the beat guide you through those rocking lyrics and prepare to party.”

-Nagamag.com

"Slide", the dance hall flavored ditty, filled with syrup lines that serenade girls and keeps the party rocking.

Emmanuel Mathew who goes by the stage name Eminel is an Afro-fusion artiste with a plethora of musical influences. He infuses these influences in his songs. When he is not doing this vocally, you find some glimpse in his random poignant posts on social media.

If Eminel says he is from the street or Zanga (shout out to Durella), please believe him. You feel the street vibes in his sonic delivery. No, swear words, just a dude representing the underappreciated part of the society. He is proud of this.

In January 2021, the Yaba College of Technology student released his second single which was titled 9 AM. A feel-good and mellow tune that screams self-appraisals.

9 AM was a step up from Turn Up which was released in October 2020. On Turn Up, you have Eminel on a cruise mode, enjoying a lavi da local lifestyle while he urges the fans (girls) to come along for a good time.

On 9 AM, a more matured and well-calculated was on the mic, dropping the lines while the drum roll and guitar collide with the piano chop for a good outing.

Afrobeat exponent Fela once said Music was a weapon, Eminel must have considered this as he got featured on a track titled Change by Gucci Pre, alongside Deblon Tee

He was also featured on a track titled Enemies by Chris Jay

While we are unsure on what Eminel has in stuck for us as the year goes on, one thing is certain with the two previously released single, Eminel is full of prospects, he is the dude the industry has been waiting for.

Minelli is a veritable songwriting and production machine. Hot on the heels of many tracks that burst into Top Charts around the world, like Top10 in France or Japan besides “Follow Your Instinct” or #1 of the Charts in Romania, she made her entrance as a front line artist in May 2017 when she joined Global Records and released her first solo single “Empty Spaces”, single which was immediately licensed by Ultra Music and topped the charts in 15 countries.

She topped the Romanian Airplay-, iTunes-, TV- and Spotify Viral 50 Charts, got massive airplay worldwide and reached more than 20 million views on YouTube. Moreover, the track was licensed worldwide by RCA/Sony Music Germany, boasting international performances in France, UK, Germany, Russia, Bulgaria just to name a few.

Her next single “Loca”, an exuberant mixture of club, urban, latin and radio vibes, gained loads of popularity in Germany.

Minelli released another banger: “Discoteka”, brought by Minelli and INNA, a fresh collaboration that mixes enticing vocals, piercing beats and a hypnotizing vibe to create a really cool, quirky sound and visual concept. A song that will definitely make it into your playlist, “Discoteka” is as straight-forward as its title: it will make you dance the “Discoteka” down!

The Paper Sea – The Eyelid Cinema (Spotify)

“An amazing and wonderful combination of ambient music elements and the most delicate piano melody. -The Eyelid Cinema- is easy to compare with the cooling ball of the sun leaving at night. A veil of fog descends on the ground, the sky is covered with feathers from clouds and a dream begins ...”

“Удивительное и прекрасное сочетание элементов ambient музыки и нежнейшей мелодии пиано. -The Eyelid Cinema- легко сравнить с уходящим в ночь остывающим шаром солнца. На землю опускается пелена тумана, небо застилают перья из облаков и начинается сон...”
