Vicentina – Lophae

Categories: Audio, Jazz, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Hispanic), Jazz, Lophae, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Jazz by Nagamag, United Kingdom, World Music (Latin|

“Η απαλή και ταξιδιάρικη μελωδία χαλαρώνει σώμα και ψυχή. Το διακριτικό και εκλεπτυσμένο ύφος της προσφέρει την διασκέδαση που μας αξίζει. Η παρουσία του σαξοφώνου από το 0:58 και μετά δημιουργεί μια μαγική ατμόσφαιρα γεμάτη πάθος. Ο ήρεμος ρυθμός με τις εναλλαγές του κρατάει το ενδιαφέρον αμείωτο από την αρχή έως το τέλος.”

Additional information/sources for Lophae – Vicentina

“Vicentina” is the second track from Lophae (pronounced “Lo-Fi”), a newly formed psychedelic jazz quartet led by guitarist and composer Greg Sanders. The group brings together some of Sanders’ favorite musicians to interpret his distinctive and compelling compositions.

This track is a bittersweet samba inspired by Brazilian jazz legends such as Edu Lobo, Moacir Santos, and Joyce Morenco. Its lyrical and direct melodic statement flows over Sanders’ João Gilberto-influenced guitar voicings and intricate pedal loops, creating a lush, immersive soundscape.

Drummer Ben Brown anchors the track with a masterful command of texture and energy, offering subtle shifts in orchestration to support the ensemble. Bassist Tom Herbert delivers the opening melodic line and first solo with his trademark rich, rounded tone before descending into lower registers to ground the composition with rhythmic precision and relaxed momentum.

Tenor saxophonist Sam Rapley contributes a brooding melodicism, weaving intuitive melodic pathways through the shifting key centers. His expressive playing keeps the track both singable and engaging while navigating its complex harmonic turns.

The band’s collective artistry results in a sound that feels both familiar and entirely fresh. Influences from the London alternative jazz and world music scenes—where all four members are active—shine through. Echoes of their projects, including Waaju, Teotima, Juanita Euka, and Polar Bear, blend seamlessly into this unique creation.

Greg Sanders shares his inspiration:

“I love Brazilian music so much—it’s such a rich, deep, and sophisticated musical culture. Brazilian jazz elegantly incorporates rhythm, harmony, melody, and improvisation at the highest level, creating a sound that’s both instinctive and profound. With ‘Vicentina,’ I aimed to capture the vibe of classics like Moacir Santos’ *Maestro* and Edu Lobo’s *Camaleão. I wanted something that feels natural yet possesses depth and richness.”

Categories: Audio, Rock, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Indie Folk, Indie Pop, Remy Reilly, Review (GR), Singer Songwriter, Spotify Playlist - Rock by Nagamag, United States|

“Όμορφα και μελαγχολικά ξεκινά η μελωδία και μας πηγαίνει ένα νοσταλγικό ταξίδι στο παρελθόν. Τα μοναδικά φωνητικά κλέβουν την παράσταση με τις απίστευτες δυνατότητες τους. Το βάθος στην χροιά τους αλλά και το γοητευτικό ύφος τους μας παρασύρουν ευχάριστα αλλά και το γύρισμα της φωνής στο 2:32.Ο ρυθμός ήρεμα και με σιγουριά γαληνεύει στην ψυχή μας και με τις δυναμικές εναλλαγές του μαγεύει τις αισθήσεις μας.”

Hard to Be a Man – deegie

Categories: Audio, Pop, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: deegie, Pop Punk, Pop Rock, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Pop by Nagamag, United States|

“Ωραία και δυναμικά φωνητικά που ανεβάζουν την αδρεναλίνη και απογειώνουν το κομμάτι ειδικά από το 0:27 που οι τόνοι ανεβαίνουν. Η μελωδία ξεσηκώνει και τον πιο αδιάφορο και μας προσφέρει μοναδικές στιγμές απόλαυσης και διασκέδασης. Ο ξέφρενος ρυθμός γίνεται το τονωτικό μας και μας δίνει φτερά για να πετάξουμε ψηλά.”

Lyrics of deegie – Hard to Be a Man

Verse 1
How do you know how to win in life?
Your role models are only all the rich and powerful types
But all these women, gays, and immigrants
Are squeezing your divine right
To the head of the table

Pre
I’m sure it’s aggravating
For your one emotion to be raging

Chorus
They’re coming for your crown, son
I don’t know how you cope
If you’re not on top of the mountain
Everyone thinks you’re a joke
You must be feeling bitter
Cause nobody understands
But I know, I know
It’s hard to be a man

Verse 2
Does it leave you wanting to lash out?
Now that boys can’t be boys
And it’s a hate crime to horse around
All these woke liberal snowflakes
Keep pushing you to stand your ground
And your head is exploding

Pre
I’m sure you get exhausted
Always explaining that it’s not all men

Chorus

Post
It’s so hard

Bridge
I’ll bring your slippers and your pipe
Bb
As you settle for the night
I’ll feed the kids and do the dishes, wind the clock
Back a century
So don’t you worry about a thing, king

Chorus
Post

The first song off of deegie’s second EP, Feminism 101, that documents women’s experiences in a man’s world, recognizes that men have their challenges, too.
Except their challenges are how to maintain their slipping dominance in an arbitrary but crumbling patriarchal system and not being capable of expressing their big feelings about it.

Lyrics of NXTHXN – Chose You

Verse 1
I’ve been running for too long
And I can’t fight it
Suffocating in between
it’s so exhausting
I can’t breathe I’m
coming clean I,
Imma tell her everything and all the details
I won’t leave anything out
And we gon witness all the memories that she built
Come tumbling down

Chorus
She gon be mad that I choose you
I know it’s sad but it’s true
Everyday I’m without you
It’s another day that I lose

Verse 2
There’s no other way that I can think to tell you this
So let’s go take a ride I’ll tell you everything
The truth is I’ve been seeing someone else
As a matter of fact they’re calling me right now
Let me call you back
I promise once I finish I will call you back
Yeah she’s sitting right beside me
And I’m driving
There’s no more hiding
I said I’m telling it all

“Η όμορφη και επιθετική μελωδία μας διασκεδάζει χωρίς όρια και μας βγάζει από την βαρετή ρουτίνα μας. Τα ευκίνητα και επιδέξια φωνητικά δημιουργούν μια απολαυστικά σκληροπυρηνική ατμόσφαιρα. Ο πληθωρικός ρυθμός μας βάζει σε ένα κόσμο έντασης και πάθους που σίγουρα θέλουμε να γνωρίσουμε και να περιπλανηθούμε μέσα σε αυτόν.”

Lyrics of Samad Savage – REAL

Niggas ain’t real
That’s a cold fact
I’ma tell the whole truth never hold back
To the toe tag
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
That’s a cold fact
I’ma tell the whole truth never hold back
To the toe tag
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
Never be real as me
And you know that
That’s no kizzy
And you know that
And you- Uh
And you know that
Some of you niggas ain’t real
Never be real as me
And you know that
That’s no kizzy
And you know that
And you- Uh
And you know that

They be artificial, couldn’t make it through my hardest issues
Say they launching missiles when they wouldn’t even spark a pistol
Couldn’t scar a tissue or commit to give a harmless tickle
I can’t partner with you, eat alone before I’m starving with you
I would rather wait before I owe the bank
I could never fake it til I make it, put that on my chain
I’m get the silver if I can’t afford the platinum
Cause my pattern’s moving forward
I’m not into hustling backwards muhfucka
Every time from the heart where I speak
Not homophobic, but I never let my pride speak
Super confident, but they call it cocky
I be blocking hate thrown like my seat
And I got the crown like I top teeth
No antibiotic ain’t not ceiling to my moxie
Listen, I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better

AI realer then these niggas
May I say I’m realer than these niggas
I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better
AI realer then these niggas
May I say I’m realer than these niggas
I’m not the realest nigga ever
I’m just the realest right now, ain’t nobody better

Lyrics of Jay Gudda – Grey Magic

(Yikes, too groovy, shit)
I don’t get it (Wake up)
(Too groovy, man)
Look, look

Ring Around the Rosie, pocket full with an O-Z
He’s been actin’ nosey, talkin’ loud like he knows me
Should I get all exposey? Or should I just take the dough and leave?
And if I don’t show my hand, what’d be below my sleeve?

You know it’s me, but I noticed that you ain’t notice me
We both know it’s weak, but don’t speak ‘cause I ain’t got no receipts (Yeah)
Pussy, hold your queef, don’t push me, I’m known to tweak (Don’t push me)
They booked me, the show was free, and nobody’d show up but me
Hoe, preach, roll up some kief, bitch natural as my leaf
She’s like, “Actually, that ain’t me. I was fat and had surgery”
Now it’s cash and new Birkin sprees, new purse, and it’s burgundy
“What hurts is you judging me,” I’m like, “Yeah, bitch. You up a tree”
Jeez, holy smokes, the Backwoods like, “Pull me close” (Do it)
The pack’s If You Know You Know, the stash is on overflow (Oh)
My ego still come and go, Am I evil? Or am I slow? (I don’t know)
Got demons that take control, can’t feed ‘em in case they grow (Oh)
I need ‘em to fuck and go (Go)
I need ‘em to fuckin’ go (Go)
I teach her to suck it gross, releasing what’s up her throat (Oh)
She fiending ‘cause I’m the most, I’m dreamy, she comatosed,
Believe me, I know I’m fucked, she leave me, I’ll overdose (Oh)

Oh, hoe (Off what?)
I guess that’s it (Anyway, shit)
(Somethin’ like that, yeah, I don’t know)
Look, look

Ring Around the Rosie, pocket full with an O-Z
He’s been actin’ nosey, talkin’ loud like he knows me
Should I get all exposey? Or should I just take the dough and leave? (No, no, no)
And if I don’t show my hand, what’d be below my sleeve?

(You feel that)
What else did I have in this mothafucka, man?
Leave my phone and keys in the whip when I wish they would
And I’m really wishin’ for good, but they really wishin’ they could (Don’t explain)
Don’t explain when it’s understood
(Alright)
My phone and keys in the whip, when I still believe in some shit (Fuck)
You get it

This song was inspired by Manly Hall’s book, Magic: A Treatise on Natural Occultism. Hall defines Grey Magic as “the unconscious or subconscious perversion of power.” The visuals for this single are a mixture of my self-reflections and a bit of “music video magic” to show that perhaps the perversion of power is more common than we think..
