Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Ryan Flynn:
My first connection to music was certainly through my parents love for music. I was consistently surrounded by great music and was fortunate to have a piano in our home. No one else could play, but I'm pretty sure it was just there when we bought our house on Long Island. I would fool around and eventually grew to love the instrument! Once high school hit, I found myself writing and performing in a metal band with some great friends. I'd say with all of those things coming together, this was my pathway into music.
Nagamag:
Do you have any plans to follow the release of the latest single, "Outside?"
Ryan Flynn:
Yes! We have a music video for "Outside" coming out December 16th. For the music video, I've combined and edited the works of two amazing artists together; Micah Buzan, who does the beautiful animation, and Taryn Elliot, who does the amazing landscape filmography. The combination of the two really vibes with the the track and I can't wait for people to connect the visuals with the track!

Single Review: Sani Knight – Pull Me Over | Listen to Pop
Music Review:
“In “Pull Me Over,” Sani Knight builds a track where attraction becomes the driving force. The vocals, full of passion and carrying a sensual, almost hypnotic tone, move through clever shifts that keep the tension constantly alive. The melody balances dynamic drive with delicate sensitivity, consistently unsettling the emotional field and guiding the listener through an intoxicating, ever-shifting journey. The rhythm, with its seductively danceable pulse, works in an emancipating way, drawing the body into an almost effortless surrender to its motion.”
-Nagamag.com
Lyrics of Sani Knight – Pull Me Over
Why’d you have to let me hear your voice again
Are you real or are you looking for revenge
I know how you work
Still I choose to play dumb
But I promise I’m done
I promise cause
I don’t want to regret another night
Let your lies control my life
Cause I know it’s wrong but I’ll come back
When you give it to me that type of way
Don’t know if I can get enough
Making it too hard to escape
Locked up in your handcuff
Baby your my favorite mistake
You know I can’t give it up
If loving you is a crime then pull me over
Why the fuck are you up
You told me good night like an hour ago
I should’ve known who you were
It’s my fault I took it personal
It’s your way or no way
It feels like I was born to lose
And it’s all because of you
And it’s all because
I don’t want to regret another night
Let your lies control my life
Cause I know it’s wrong but I’ll come back
When you give it to me that type of way
Don’t know if I can get enough
Making it too hard to escape
Locked up in your handcuff
Baby your my favorite mistake
You know I can’t give it up
If loving you is a crime then pull me and just
Give it to me that type of way
Don’t know if I can get enough
Making it too hard to escape
Locked up in your handcuff
Baby your my favorite mistake
You know I can’t give it up
If loving you is a crime then pull me over

Release Review: Baldy Crawlers – On Those Who Starve Children | Rock
Music Review:
“In “On Those Who Starve Children,” Baldy Crawlers open with a melody that asserts itself immediately, carrying a weight that feels deliberate rather than overwhelming. It unfolds gradually, drawing the listener inward with a measured sense of gravity.The vocals arrive charged with urgency—passionate, expansive, and unafraid to sound raw—delivering their message with a force that feels both personal and collective. There’s a palpable sense of pain running through the performance, one that invites identification rather than distance. Beneath it all, the rhythm moves with a quiet strength, amplifying the emotional intensity without resorting to excess.”

Collaboration Review: Dumomi The Jig x Ice Prince – Best For You | Afrobeats
Music Review:
“In “Best For You,” Dumomi The Jig and Ice Prince craft a track that leans into escapism without losing its sense of control. The melody unfolds like a slow drift across open waters, evoking luminous, almost dreamlike landscapes that feel both distant and inviting. Vocally, there’s a magnetic interplay—tones that are bold yet fluid, carrying a subtle sensuality that never feels overstated but remains deeply engaging. Beneath it all, the rhythm pulses with a vibrant agility, injecting the track with a kinetic lift that works as a quiet stimulant, keeping the mood buoyant and the listener gently suspended in its glow.”
-Nagamag.com

The most used instruments in Blogwave Music
In Blogwave music, synthesizers are the most common and important instrument used. Synthesizers are electronic instruments that generate sounds by creating and modifying waveforms. They can produce a wide range of sounds, including melodies, chords, basslines, and effects, and are often used to create the signature sound of Blogwave music.
Other common instruments used in Blogwave music include drum machines, samplers, and sequencers. Drum machines are electronic instruments that produce drum and percussion sounds, while samplers allow users to record and play back samples of sounds, such as drum hits or individual notes from a synthesizer. Sequencers are used to program and arrange musical patterns and can be used to create complex, layered compositions.
Guitars, basses, and other traditional instruments are also sometimes used in Blogwave music, often in conjunction with synthesizers and other electronic instruments. In some cases, these instruments may be played live, while in others they may be processed through electronic effects or played using software instruments.
Vocals: Vocals can be used in Blogwave music, but they are not always present. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a prominent element.
In Blogwave music, vocals are often treated as just another sound source, similar to a synthesizer or drum machine. They may be processed through electronic effects to give them a particular sound or texture, or they may be used in combination with other electronic instruments to create a more layered, complex sound.
Many Blogwave tracks feature vocals that are sung or spoken in a style that is reminiscent of 1980s pop and new wave music. These vocals may be treated with effects such as reverb, delay, or vocoding to give them a retro or futuristic feel.
Overall, the use of vocals in Blogwave music is a matter of personal preference for the artist or producer creating the track. Some Blogwave tracks are purely instrumental, while others feature vocals as a key element of the sound.
Overall, the most important instrument in Blogwave music is the synthesizer, which is used to create the majority of the sounds heard in this genre. Other electronic instruments, such as drum machines and samplers, are also commonly used to shape and augment the sounds produced by synthesizers.
