Composition Review: KELJO – Siapa Kamu? | Jazz
Music Review:
“Το “Siapa Kamu?” του KELJO λειτουργεί σαν μια μικρή, φωτεινή έκρηξη ευφορίας: μια ποπ κατασκευή που δεν φοβάται να είναι άμεσα απολαυστική. Η υπέροχη ευχάριστη μελωδία γλιστράει αβίαστα,ενώ τα φωνητικά —με καθαρή, ζεστή χροιά— αποφεύγουν την υπερβολή και επενδύουν σε μια ειλικρινή, μεταδοτική θετικότητα. Ο ρυθμός έχει ελαστικότητα και νεύρο, δημιουργώντας μια διακριτική ένταση που σε σπρώχνει προς την κίνηση χωρίς να γίνεται επιθετικός. Είναι ένα κομμάτι που μοιάζει απλό, αλλά δουλεύει με ακρίβεια.”

Hurricane 5AM – Crimson | Pop Review
Music Review:
“Στο “Crimson”, οι Hurricane 5AM διαμορφώνουν ένα ηχητικό τοπίο που ισορροπεί ανάμεσα στη θαλπωρή και την αιθέρια ελαφρότητα. Τα φωνητικά, ζεστά αλλά με μια δροσερή, εκλεπτυσμένη χροιά, δεν επιδιώκουν να κυριαρχήσουν — αντίθετα, ενσωματώνονται οργανικά στη μελωδία, ενισχύοντας την αίσθηση ροής. Η σύνθεση κινείται με μια σχεδόν υπερβατική απαλότητα, αποφεύγοντας την υπερβολή και επιτρέποντας στη λεπτομέρεια να αναπνεύσει. Ο ρυθμός, φωτεινός και ευκίνητος, προσδίδει μια διακριτική ευφορία, μετατρέποντας το κομμάτι σε μια εμπειρία που σε παρασύρει ήσυχα, αλλά σταθερά.”

Lyrics of Hurricane 5AM – Crimson
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
I’ve got a thing for you
In my heart, in my head
Been howling at the moon
So I can’t be misread
It’s ten after midnight
And it’s like, I dedicate my life
To being, the only one you see
Going from just insane to crazy
When I see you, and you miss it – I take it as a sign
People ’round me check me when you’re there and tell me it’s time
I’m like a rock,
U got the look,
I got that certainty
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
A shade of crimson tells me when I need to get down to feed,
I’ve decided you have in pocession things I need,
I’m like a rock,
U got the look,
I got that certainty
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
(Ahhh ahh ahhh…)
Still my heart, still my head
(Ahhh ahh ahhh…)
My decent into red
And I’m out here
This is special
Neon passion
You can’t measure
And I’m out here
No confusion
This is special (yeah)
When I see you, and you miss it – I take it as a sign
People ’round me check me when you’re there and tell me it’s time
I’m like a rock,
U got the look,
I got that certainty
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
A shade of crimson tells me when I need to get down to feed,
I’ve decided you have in pocession things I need,
I’m like a rock,
U got the look,
I got that certainty
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
I built a whole world around this
What a picture to see
Then placed a wall of steel around it
A version of happy
See, I’ve been thinking this time it’ll be different
And I
I’ve been thinking, this time I won’t aim low
Or high
I’ve been thinking, this time no regrets
For all of my days
And for all of my ways
Fire’s what I’m about
I scrub indifference out their mouth
Conjure up a new type of sin
Where I’m clean, still doing my thing
A conundrum only I see
Can I be? What I need? Happily?
Can I eat?
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah
Obstacles I just dodge
I don’t need force, I can stop
Pausing, to assess what I feel
It’s better when they’re in on the deal
It takes more time
Starting behind
There’s no surprise
Coz I’ve got that certainty
Uh uh, uh uh, uh uh yeah

Myer Clarity x Fresh Kils x D-Sisive – Never Give You Up | Hip Hop Review
Music Review:
“Στο “Never Give You Up”, οι Myer Clarity, Fresh Kils, OCDC και D-Sisive κινούνται με μια σπάνια αίσθηση ευφορίας που αποφεύγει την ευκολία. Η μελωδία είναι άμεση και φωτεινή, αλλά δεν καταλήγει ποτέ επιφανειακή — αντίθετα, λειτουργεί σαν σταθερό υπόβαθρο για μια ρυθμική ροή που σε τραβά σχεδόν αβίαστα. Ο ρυθμός, καθαρά χορευτικός, δεν πιέζει· σε παρασύρει διακριτικά προς μια κατάσταση αποφόρτισης. Τα φωνητικά ξεχωρίζουν για την ευχέρεια και τη φυσικότητά τους, εναλλάσσοντας αυτοπεποίθηση και παιχνιδιάρικη τόλμη, δίνοντας στο κομμάτι έναν χαρακτήρα που ισορροπεί ανάμεσα στη διασκέδαση και την ουσία.”

Lyrics of Myer Clarity x Fresh Kils x D-Sisive – Never Give You Up
[Myer Clarity]
Younger days and sunny rays
’N writing a 100 pages while I’m on summer break to son the greats
Funny faced w the ugly braces, chubby waist
Practicing my mean mug once a day – just in case
Timid youngin who unafraid to run the stage
Tell it how it is till my heart, lungs and stomach ache
A buncha greats, upon the wall, Double taped
I got what I takes to be one of y’all just fucking wait
Big dreams & Lil Hopes from Middle school
First verse formidable kicking writtens for legends tho
I had my first session at 12 which was incredible
I left that booth burnt through the roof, left with second booked
Ever since I been second chair to the engineer
Every session a lesson until I’m in the chair
Self-Sufficient, proficient, out here my vision clear
Still in here
never had no deal.. just some pinky swears
[Myer Clarity]
Demo CD-Rs, mind my P & Qs
I never had no moves but knew my MIDI Grooves
I used to rock my lil beats on the scene for crews
I started out on Fruity Loops and now my serials cool
I mighta took a lil while, this the scenic route
That’s why I grows so slow, cause they seen thick roots
My oldest teacher been necessity, she teach shit through
And Ima leave her with experience to teach to you
I had a ol’ jazz legend by the name of Ernie Nelson
Used to give me piano lessons, lost him early, can’t forget him
Taught me how to speak from my chest, with intention
Be the warrior our world and keep blessing em
I had to dedicate second half of my second
To the man the myth the legend
who showed me I was destined
I’ma promise to always be an artist until the ending
To my lifers, to beginners, for the ones who ain’t with us
What we tell em
[D-Sisive]
Fuck flowers
I want a garden like central park
for 3 decades of tearing instrumentals apart
I was 18, penning ‘Popped’
In my high school caf, obsessed with Eminem pretending I’m not
All my life I was pressured to stop
I was more Jonah Hill than Biggie so my records were destined to flop
Nobody gave Derek a shot
So I decapitated necks leaving blood on Eglinton blocks
on the hunt for American props
But I remained Canadian like Degrassi high & Ready or Not
Surrounded by Drake clones & impressions of Pac
Not giving a fuck if the legends respect me or not
I eat dinner with the devil and breaky with god
lunch at the embassy and tea at kenny lamars
christmas at Trumps and easter with Michelle & Barack
marching to my own drum break so shooby doo wop
[Outro]
D-Sisive
Myer Clarity
Fresh Kils
We’re taking this shit right to the juno awards 2025
Best hip hop recording
Best R&B recording

We’re taking it back to Rhythm & Blues

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.
