intro_p – Promises (Spotify)
“Skip your cheap headphones here, open your quality monitors or headset, don't hesitate to give bit volume. The sound quality here and the right sound set used here erupts all the beauty of harmonics layers. Listener steps into an emotional diving of grooves that hypnotize him in an endless music trip. Wonderful music from intro_p with -Promises- on Introp Music imprint.”
-Nagamag.com
Intro_p is back out of his rabbit hole with 2 brilliantly soothing and absorbing tracks for his 9th EP called “Promises”. This EP underlines the common values of humanity, even if we have different cultures, religions, social backgrounds, etc. At the end of the day, we all have similar attitudes towards promises. It is ironic though, that “promises” are made by political leaders to divide us.
Lainey Dionne – Skin (Spotify)
“The first impression you receive with Lainey Dionne on her new single Skin, is the quality and softness of both vocal and music/groove layering. Sensual, elegant and memorable with chorus of saying -Skin- giving you goosebumps, a song where harmonies and qualities are abundant. ”
-Nagamag.com
Skin is about what it feels like to be in a toxic relationship. You are depressed and hiding it, becoming numb, and then being in denial about how toxic this is and you don’t know how to get out.
Lainey Dionne is a Providence based cover artist and singer/songwriter. Her debut record, Can't Refuse - EP, was released in 2016 and is available on iTunes, Spotify, and other streaming services. She writes the "sort of music that immediately makes you forget that you left a burning oven on, or should be doing something productive. Music that will make you forget about everything else and just listen" (Verge Media). Can't Refuse- EP is an honest and vulnerable look at love and life through a twenty-something singer/songwriters eyes.
Her debut album was featured on HomeBru'd, a segment for New England's leading alternative radio station, WBRU. In 2018, Lainey was nominated for Best Solo/Acoustic Act, Best Americana Act, and Best College Act at the Worcester Music Awards, along with Best Breakthrough Act at Rhode Island's famed, Motif Music Awards. She is also a 2016 Semi Finalist for the International Songwriting Competition. Laineys songs "Can't Refuse" and "Even If" have been featured in the Berklee Singer/Songwriter Showcase '14 and an independent film from Harvard University. As a performing artist, Lainey has been invited to play at famed music venues such as The Strand, regional festivals such as The Big E, PVDFest and the Newport Film Festival, private events & benefit concerts, and over 60 venues in Rhode Island. Her band toured the East Coast in the summer of 2017 debuting new material along with her EP. Originally from Smithfield, RI, she has been studying the piano since the age of six, and along the way, has picked up several other instruments including violin, ukulele, harmonica, mandolin, dulcimer, cajon, and guitar. Lainey provides private lessons of vocals and the instruments she plays at True Music Studios.
She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Berklee College of Music in 2015, receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Music Business with a minor in Music Production and Engineering. While attending, she had the pleasure of learning from industry professionals such as Grammy Award winning producer, Jason Stokes and Grammy-nominated hit songwriter, producer, and Warner Brothers Records executive, Kara DioGuardi. She was also accepted into Warner/Chappell Publishing Group executive, Judy Stakee's Songwriting Retreat in France and is currently working with a team in Nashville for her sophomore album. Lainey's music is inspired by the lyrics and compositions of Gabrielle Aplin, Vance Joy, and The Lumineers. From her notable education and musical inspirations, Lainey has acquired her own unique sense of artistry.

Robert Connely Farr Interview on Nagamag
Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?
Robert Connely Farr:
americana, southern rock, indie rock, contemporary blues, country blues, juke joint blues
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Robert Connely Farr:
I studied architecture at Auburn University, spending a few years at the nonprofit student run design build Rural Studio working on the Musicman House and the Hale Country Animal Shelter. Since 2017, I've been mentored in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues by Jimmy “Duck” Holmes. I grew up in Bolton, Mississippi, a small town just south of the Delta where Charley Patton and Sam Chatmon are from. I released "Dirty South Blues" in 2019 - then I got cancer and had to have an emergency surgery, during which time me and the boys had a few sessions in Vancouver at Hipposonic Studios (Little Mountain Studio's for you music novices - some of my favorite rock and roll albums were recorded there!) to lay down "Country Supper". This year we also release "Gasoline" (B-Sides & Rarities) & "Live In EastVan"
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Robert Connely Farr:
yeah - I grew up listening to rock n roll - I had every Kiss album, GNR, Ratt, Crue, ACDC - I loved it all. Music just hit a spot in me that I can't really explain. It was personal, mine - no-one could tell me what to like - in fact I couldn't help what I liked - that was part of the excitement & it still is! Anyway, I remember being around 12, out in the country in the house where my Papaw grew up north of Bolton - making a blood pact in writing (that we still have) with my little brother & cousin that as soon as we all got old enough, we were heading to Los Angeles to being in a band. I guess I can't help but wonder of on a fundamental level this started it all - you know, that idea of putting the energy out there to make something happen...
Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?
Robert Connely Farr:
Purple Mountains "Nights That Won’t Happen"
Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which track from a similar artist you admire?
