‘Fantastic’ is a Hip-Hop ode to transparent intentions, consent, and to socially awkward folks shooting their shot.
In creating their debut album, Duwendé set out to make a body work from the perspective of a night out complete with friends, drinks and good vibes. A challenge was presented to the band to make a Hip-Hop drenched track from a different perspective. That led the band to the inception of their third single from the upcoming album, ‘Fantastic’.
With a sound described as a 'grown and sexy Pentatonix', the NYC-based sextet doubles down on “their fiercely original, bass-and-beatbox-driven style of music” with their latest release.

It was our first music year online as a music blog (Actually a half as we run up all details since June 2020).
Was a very productive year full of updates in our structure and with a lot of good music and interviews.
Nagamag would like to thank all artists, labels, and publishers who delivered us a lot of music to review and blog about.
Music taste is very subjective, so here in Nagamag, we represent our own personal style and taste, filtering some of the best music around the world to showcase with you.It's hard to define the borders between many good songs and styles, but we all know as listeners, music many times speaks from inside to a listener, you feel her inside you. Same as love works most of the time. Fall in love is different from agreeing on what is beautiful, so here is the music we fall in love with during 2020.
The tracklist order is not based on the best of, we love them all equally for different reasons. We just give an order more to provide a nice flow in the listening experience. Enough said, here are BEST OF 2020 from what we have blog.
Wish you a Happy New Year!

“All the beauty and lightness of a classical piano piece in the new single by maestro Florejan - The Second Fall. Everything you and your soul need in one composition.”
“Вся красота и лёгкость классического фортепианного произведения в новом сингле маэстро Florejan - The Second Fall. Всё, что нужно вам и вашей душе в одной композиции.”
-Nagamag.com
Florejan Verschueren (°1978) lives in Belgium together with his wife and their four children. He has been passionate about music ever since he was knee-high to a grashopper, and has been roaming the city and Belgium with numerous musical projects, in different styles.
At home he finds peace in his music room. The grand piano - a gift from his granddad to his father - adds a dash of grandeur to the room. This is Florejan’s musical sanctuary, a place that allows him to submerge himself into reverie. The trees outside follow the rhythm of the seasons, and set the pace at which Florejan composes new music. Harmony and balance. This has led to 'Piano Piano', an album that embraces rest and contemplation. It is process of growth, part of the cycle of life. It should not surprise anyone that the working title for 'Piano Piano' was 'WINTER', a season that breathes resourcing and reflection.
Florejan has stripped every composition to the bone, to the bare essence of the song. It has been an exercise in letting go and a quest for finding beauty and purity. Seemingly easy listening, the melodies conceal a profound richness. Each song is a trip, telling a story with many layers.
Who else but illustrator Sassafras De Bruyn could provide this album with the right images? It was a match made in heaven: beautiful drawings as a perfect answer to the multi-layered music.
'Piano Piano' is a very personal record and shows a part of Florejan that not many people have already discovered. The album will be released end of november 2019

Ritmo and Talpa team up in their first ever collaboration, and invite us to dive into the endless starry abyss of The Unknown.

“Indie Pop is one of those genres that lifts the mood of its listeners with ease and ease. Lark the Shark confidently knocks on your hearts with its single 1 night stands.”
“Indie Pop один из тех жанров, который с лёгкостью и непринуждённостью поднимает настроение своим слушателям. Lark the Shark уверенно стучит в ваши сердца своим синглом 1 night stands.”
-Nagamag.com
Lark the Shark is an Indie Pop Producer and songwriter who has collaborated with a Norwegian freelance singer to create their latest track “1 night stands.” This song not only showcases a beautiful vocal line, but also a fun and easy to listen to beat.
“1 night stands” focuses on hookup culture and the intricacies that come with it. This culture focuses on emotion and the general lack of it that is so often found. It is a modern and relatable story encased in a light and exciting soundtrack. This song is a perfect fit for the young adult of 2020.
Lark the Shark has been creating music since they were only 16. They began writing songs on their guitar and worked their way into producing over the years. Currently they are working on bringing the music that they have written to life.
This track was a collaborative experience between Lark the Shark and a singer under the name of Lily. Her voice paired with a beat and lyrics that Lark the Shark provided led to a gorgeous, relatable and truly fun song to listen to.
