Nico Pistolesi – The Door is Open (Spotify)

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

“Nico Pistolesi from Italy, in this beautiful neoclassical composition, performed under his signatured style in a way that gives comfort to listener, like the flow of a quiet stream. The Door Is Open but you staring without step out, daydreaming with the harmonies, lost in beauty of nature.”

“Nico Pistolesi самоучка из Италии. В этой композиции мы услышали самобытность и легкие этнические мотивы. Как бы там не было - но это прекрасно, шероховатые звуки придают уют мелодии которая льется как тихий ручей.”

-Nagamag.com

"The Door is Open" is about hospitality and openness. Each one of us has their own way of seeing the things that life offers us, but hospitality and openness to the new should be two aces up every person's sleeve. The song tells of a distant place and of the difficulties that can be found during our journey. Arrival is not always essential, it is often the present that gives us the most intense emotions.

Mark Sutton – Misty Blue (Spotify)

“According to the traditions of neoclassicism, captivating melody tells you about the misty blue. Maybe it's the fog, the sky can be wrapped in swaddling clothes, maybe it's a mirage. One thing we know for sure - it's a mystery. And this music from Mark Sutton is beautiful and tender.”

“По традициям неоклассики пленительная мелодия расскажет вам о misty blue. Может быть это туман, может быть это небо в пелене, может быть это призрачная мечта. Одно мы точно знаем - это загадка. И Эта музыка прекрасна и нежна.”

There once was a time in 2011, before the pandemic, when life was just.. heaven. There was a young lad.. and a young girl. The lad could art and the girl could twirl, and together they gazed upon the world.. Together.. they gazed.

Unfazed by the Universe’s maze, they parted ways. Eager to see each other again. Time passed likes the tides of the ocean. Learning and growing, full of emotion. Never the same, no one to blame, but the beauty of life’s experience.

Life, in all its brilliance.. can be quite resilient. Nearly a decade later, from the hands of the creator, they spoke to the divine and they obeyed her.

The lad became a feelings inflator, and the girl became the divine that made her. Together they became the creator.

Twitch 4EVA – Chaskele | Ground up Tv (Video)

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

“The groove here is so minimal but in a good, very smart way, becoming soon very addictive and leaving the right space of these spacious sensual vocals, why someone been angry with love? Twitch 4EVA explains…”

-Nagamag.com

Fresh on the back of the success of his recently released debut EP LOST, which has been garnering strong support and critical acclaim since its release, adding to the over 3 million plays already under his belt, and with his latest collaboration with revered UK producer Juls (Kojey Radical, GoldLink, Mr Eazi, Ms Banks) titled ‘Mmayewa’ starting to heat up with over 300,000 streams in two weeks, Ghanaian artist, songwriter and musician TWITCH 4EVA is excited to reveal the music video for one of the standout tracks from his EP titled ‘CHASKELE’.

Produced by East London musician Rayf (Kwollem, Kwesi Arthur, PBGR), ‘Chaskele’ sees Twitch 4EVA in fine form once again, as he brings his genre-bending ‘Coastal Music’ fusion sound, driven by his lush R&B, pop and afrobeats sensibilities, to the forefront. Twitch 4EVA’s excellent vocal prowess, captivating singing style and delivery, and honest songwriting, as can be heard throughout ‘Chaskele’, continues to set himself apart as one of the best new artists crossing over from West Africa into the global music landscape, and certainly one to watch for 2021.

The cinematic and emotive music video for ‘Chaskele’ sees Twitch 4EVA collaborating with burgeoning video director Andy Madjitey to offer a compelling tale of black love and heartbreak, driven by stunning cinematography and landscapes – from its veiled homage to Black Panther, to how the visuals beautifully capture the Aburi Botanical Gardens in the coastal city of Tema in Ghana, to the contrasting colours throughout the story, the ‘Chaskele’ visuals rely on symbolism to show us how love and relationships can be an emotional roller coaster.

Speaking about the inspiration for ‘Chaskele’, Twitch 4EVA says, “With this ‘Chaskele’ track, I wanted to be more open about my love life – I really loved this girl and thought it was true love, but apparently she was just in for fun. I was heartbroken, and for someone who finds it difficult to express his feelings, I really let out my emotions on this song. I kept asking myself when this pain in my heart would end and I believe this track was the only way I could describe my hurt since I couldn’t show it physically. It’s a piece of me and how I really felt at that time, because I was really in love with this person and never wanted to lose her, but it is what it is”.

Khamari – Other Side (Spotify)

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

“Khamari and Jae Stephens team up and deliver you a heartwarming R&B, called -Other Side-, the 5th track of Khamari's album -Eldorado-. Through a top notch production and soulful vocals making the right soundtrack for your night rides or night hugs ;) ”

-Nagamag.com

Other Side brings the narrative arc of Khamari’s debut project into its nostalgic post relationship state. The final single from his Eldorado EP reminisces back to how they were, how they felt, and leaves the door ajar in case it's worth revisiting. Over production from Alex Delicata and Trackside, counterbalanced with Jae Stephens’ vocal harmonies, he continues the intimately musical vibe of the project. As a body of work, the full sequence of songs illustrates the rise and fall of love, expectation, and fulfillment.

Khamari's career debuted with a trio of Spotify New Music Friday placements, including a #10 spot with his sophomore release The Heat. His editorial support rounded out as the cover artist for Spotify's Fresh Finds, and further playlisting on Apple Music FEELS, Amazon's The New Black and Breakthrough R&B, and as cover artist for Tidal's Pop:Rising. With over 4 million cumulative streams in his first 3 songs - including 500k in The Heat's first week on Spotify alone - Khamari's first chapter is off to a powerful start.

A multifaceted independent artist, songwriter, and producer, Khamari grew up in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, MA. His first project wraps his powerfully earnest songwriting around contemporary sonics, with stellar production from Trackside throughout, as well as his own production. Skilled as a vocalist, pianist, and guitarist, Khamari's music is distilled from influences ranging as wide as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Sly Stone, to Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, and Mac Miller.

Bjorn Rydhog Interview on Nagamag

Categories: Features, Interviews, Pop Features, Pop Interviews, The Latest|Tags: , , , |


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

Bjorn Rydhog:
Pop


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Bjorn Rydhog:
I started to write songs when I was 7 years old. Now I'm a multi-instrumentalist playing most instruments on my records, which have gained a lot of positive attention from many music blogs and been played extensively on the Swedish and international radio.


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

Bjorn Rydhog:
As a boy I loved cheesy ballads, song compilations from the 1960s and the Eurovision Song Contest. The soundtrack of my childhood was made up of songs like Johnny Logan 'Hold me now', Percy Sledge 'When a man loves a woman' and Steve Wonder 'I just called to say I love you'. The Beatles 'the Blue Album' also made a long lasting impression.


Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Bjorn Rydhog:
Miles Davis "Blue in Green"


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

Bjorn Rydhog:
The Radio Dept. "Heaven's on Fire"
