“The lyrics cause sincere emotions not only through sensual perception, but also at the subconscious level. Original and loved Synthpop, with rich sound arrangement and an atmosphere of hypnotic effect!”

“Текст вызывает искренние эмоции не только через чувственное восприятие, но и на уровне подсознательного. По своему оригинальный, но по-прежнему любимый многими Synthpop, насыщенная аранжировка и атмосфера придают звучанию гипнотический эффект!”

Inspired by the feeling of being unable to resist someone that you know is not good for you, Dutch, UK-based singer/songwriter Jantine returns to BB Music Group with ‘Stockholm Syndrome’. Aptly written in Stockholm, alongside Matilda Thompson and Oliver Forsmack, it is a radio-ready creation that perfectly blends pristine pop production with Jantine’s smooth vocals. With all the hallmarks of a radio hit, ‘Stockholm Syndrome’ gives further insight into the depths of her artistic talents.

Juli Chan – Joe Le Taxi (Video)

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

“From the very first notes, you are amazed at how carefully the performer treated the heritage of the singer Vanessa Paradis and with great love made a gorgeous cover version of one of the best songs of 1987! Voice, presentation and beautiful modern arrangement here are top notch!”

“С первых нот поражаешься, как бережно исполнительница отнеслась к наследию певицы Vanessa Paradis и с огромной любовью сделала шикарную кавер-версию одной из лучших песен 1987 года! Голос, подача и красивая современная аранжировка сделали своё дело!”

Juli Chan rejuvenates the legendary French hit of the eighties with her delicate and sensual cover. Discover what Joe Le Taxi sounds like today, 34 years after it topped charts around the world.

Juli Chan has already got her fans used to her spectacularly sung covers. Recently, the artist paid tribute to Ariana Grande – her longtime mentor and music inspiration, interpreting the song “Bad Idea” from the bottom of her heart. Today she reaches for “Joe Le Taxi” – the essence of the 1980s POP. Introducing contemporary sounds to the French hit, she vibes with the song and her candid voice.

“Joe Le Taxi” is a song about a taxi driver who knows all the romantic streets of Paris very well. Joe loves the Parisian nightlife, with all the secret bars and shining bridges over the Seine. There is always good music in his cab. Standing in a traffic jam, the taxi driver Joe treats his passengers with a rumba, mambo, saxophone sounds and good old rock.

When I was researching the song I discovered a fascinating story behind the lyrics. Joe is the pseudonym of Maria José Leão dos Santos, Portuguese female taxi driver who fled to France in the 1970s. Maria José was persecuted because of her sexual orientation. When Mari José’s mother discovered her daughter was a lesbian, she took her to an exorcist, later to the hospital and eventually put her in a school run by nuns. In the French capital, she took the name Joe and a profession stereotypically reserved for men. She could be herself safely traveling around night Paris with guests of LGBT clubs. I think this story about the need for tolerance, non-discrimination, as a tribute to all strong women – it is worth recalling today as well as the beautiful melody of “Joe Le Taxi” from years ago.
-Juli Chan said

Julia Chmielarska is an ethereal and girly singer, performing since 2020 under the pseudonym Juli Chan. She professionally trained her voice and performed on stage across competitions and festivals from an early age. Often compared to Ariana Grande, she performed alongside CLEO in the Polish edition of the Voice Kids that brought the spotlight to the 16 year old powerhouse performer.

“Her voice is mesmerizing. Production is world class and clean. A Sensual midtempo house beat wraps around it all and brings it together. ”

Starting with the first wardrobe recordings, ODELIAH today presents us with a very passionately produced Deep House with its own character and attention to detail.

Somewhere near Berlin, in a poorly lit basement studio, a very unique sound is created that by no means has to hide from lavishly produced tracks from Major.

Deep synthesizer sound meets driving bassline, punchy house drums meet emotional ones

Angefangen mit ersten Kleiderschrank Recordings präsentiert ODELIAH uns heute einen sehr leidenschaftlich produzierten Deep House mit eigenem Charakter und Liebe zum Detail.

Irgendwo in der Nähe Berlins, in einem schlecht beleuchtetem Kellerstudio, entsteht ein doch sehr eigener Sound der sich keinesfalls vor aufwändig produzierten Tracks aus dem Hause Major verstecken muss.

Tiefer Synthesizer Sound trifft auf treibende Bassline, druckvolle House Drums auf emotionale

“One can endlessly talk about the phenomenality of the vocalist's voice over a cup of warm tea - this is a real diamond within its genre. Combined with a pleasant melody, it gives a stunning impact!”

“О феноменальности голоса вокалистки можно бесконечно рассуждать за чашечкой тёплого чая, – это настоящий бриллиант в рамках своего жанра. В совокупности с приятной мелодией даёт ошеломительный эффект воздействия!”

Artist shared few words behind her inspiration about this song:

I remember, I started writing this song at the age of 13. Although I was never really able to finish it until the start of last year (2020).

Writing this song, I basically had to imagine what it was like to be in love, the ups n downs you’ll go through, the butterflies you’d feel and the person you would never want to be away from. And that’s probably how I viewed love back then not really knowing what it was like. Throughout the years I started switching up the lyrics into what I really think love is like and how I truly feel about it. And that’s when I realized there isn’t much to change at all. That’s because it was exactly how I imagined it to be at the start.

It’s still unreal to me to say that “I” is officially out and I have to say that this first single, would never have happened if it wasn’t for the people that have always been beside me no matter how difficult situations get. Especially during this chaotic pandemic.

There were always times where I felt like it would never work out and kept doubting but I have to thank everyone who has believed in me throughout the process. This single would never have happened without this much love and support, I really do appreciate. - Kiera Selbe

“The vocalist managed to create so charming and beautiful sound world that is so strong. The musical background is similar to the carousel - one by the other is replaced by instrumental parties, the melody is very calm and relaxing.”

“У вокалистки получилось создать настолько обаятельный и красивый звуковой мир, что только диву даёшься. Музыкальный фон подобен карусели - одна за другой сменяются инструментальные партии, мелодия очень спокойная и расслабляющая. ”

Lyrics:

All I all I see is a dreamer
So alive so alive deep in the mirror
I’m casting my doubts away
I’m running the race to bring

A new life new life
I’m getting closer
I’ll fly I’ll fly
Higher and higher
And I’ll sail toward the stars never looking back
Cause I know I know I’m just a dreamer
I’m just a dreamer

My eyes my eyes looking for the answer
Tonight tonight taking what I want
I’m throwing my fears away
I’m hoping to break the chain to

A new life new life
I’m getting closer
I’ll fly I’ll fly
Higher and higher
And I’ll sail toward the stars never looking back
I know I know I’m just a dreamer

It’s taking my breath away
And I’ll take the leap and I won’t hold back with

A new life new life
I’m getting closer
I’ll fly I’ll fly
Higher and higher
I’ll sail toward the stars never looking back
Cause I know I know I’m just a dreamer
I know I know I’m just a dreamer
I know I know I’m just a dreamer
I know I know I’m just a dreamer
I’m just I’m just a dreamer

Wallners – Dracula (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Blogwave, Blogwave Features, Features, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“The bright title of track -Dracula- can instantly cause attention. It traces a clear thread of narration, style and integrity. Probably one of the few works where Indie & Dream Pop are so competently matched. Valuable sound and professional mix!”

“Яркое название трека -Dracula- моментально акцентирует на себе внимание. В нём прослеживается чёткая нить повествования, стиль и целостность. Наверное, одна из немногих работ, в которой так грамотно подана энергетика жанров Indie & Dream Pop. Выверенный звук и профессиональная подача материала!”

-Nagamag.com

Wallners are back with their new single "Dracula" and dive even deeper into their mysterious dream pop world. Not quite a year ago as one of the most important newcomer bands from Austria, the success of the four siblings has long since exceeded that. Wallners are a band with an international stature that continues to write, record and produce its music on its own at home. With "Dracula" Wallners take a step further in their development and also in the expansion of their unmistakable, mystical-wonderful sound. The music video is once again provided by the award-winning director Rupert Höller, who most recently won the Austrian Music Video Prize with the video for Wallner's single "All Again" was nominated.

Wallners sind zurück mit ihrer neuen Single „Dracula“ und tauchen noch tiefer ein in ihre geheimnisvolle Dreampop Welt. Vor nicht ganz einem Jahr als eine der wichtigsten Newcomerbands aus Österreich gehandelt, geht der Erfolg der vier Geschwisterschon längst darüber hinaus. Wallners sind eine Band mit internationalem Format, die ihre Musik nach wie vor im Alleingang zuhause schreibt, aufnimmt und produziert. Mit „Dracula“ gehen Wallnerseinen Schritt weiter in ihrer Entwicklung und auch im Ausbau ihres unverkennbaren, mystisch-wunderbaren Sounds.Das Musikvideo liefert einmal mehr der preisgekrönte Regisseur Rupert Höller, der zuletzt mit dem Video zur Wallners Single „All Again“ für den österreichischen Musikvideopreis nominiert wurde.

The newcomers Wallners - four young siblings from Vienna - feel comfortable while dreaming and playing with thoughts. The story of Nino (20), Max (23) and the twins Anna and Laurenz (25) almost sounds like a dream itself: After years of tinkering in the living room, they sent demos to various labels without any great expectations. Never ever would they have imagined that they would land straight at Universal Music. But you can hear why: The quartet's debut single compares to a gaze into an enchanted kaleidoscope, presenting itselfas an unmistakable and highly polished sound. Wallners’ hypnotic dream pop will take theirlisteners on an exciting journey somewhere between illusion and reality.

“Listening to -Party- unobtrusively comes associations, as if you are at a meeting with an old friend whom you have not seen for a long time. Positive atmosphere, melodic vocals filled with soft acoustic parts and well-written drums. Musical waves that comes from the heart.”

“Прослушивая -Party- ненавязчиво приходят ассоциации, словно ты на встрече со старым другом, которого не видел долгое время. Позитивная атмосфера, мелодичный вокал наполненный мягкими акустическими партиями и хорошо прописанными ударными партиями. Музыкальные волны, которые звучат из самого сердца. ”

Artist shared few words about this song with Nagamag:

"Written during the pandemic while feeling lonely and missing friends and family, this melancholy song celebrates all the little things I didn't know I missed about being social. Produced by the writers and producers of Bella Poarch's "Build a Bitch", this song is chill and hooky, with a touch of nostalgia." - Kat Kennedy

Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience – Multiplied by Two (Spotify)

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

“Soft romantic melancholy, rustling on a percussion background. Multi-level melody and attractive vocals that can stick in memory for a long time. All this creates an unshakable retro atmosphere, when the sky was brighter and the nature greener. Certainly, -Multiplied by Two- deserve some special attention.”

“Лёгкая романтическая меланхолия, шуршащая на фоне перкуссия, многоуровневая мелодия и насыщенный вокал притягивают к себе и оседают в памяти на долгое время. Всё это создаёт атмосферу незыблемого ретро, когда небо было ярче, а трава зеленее. Безусловно, -Multiplied by Two- работа заслуживающая того, чтобы познакомиться с ней и оставить в своём сердце навсегда.”

-Nagamag.com

The Shaun Johnson Big Band Experience is a rare newcomer to traditional pop...fusing a big band spirit with an inventive edge...at once more risky than Buble, more modern than Sinatra. Shaun, an Emmy award-winning crooner (and lead singer of the internationally known vocal group, Tonic Sol-fa) indelibly stamps vocal jazz and swing with a contemporary punch - to the delight of both traditionalists and newcomers - emerging as an original voice in the continuing tradition of the American singer.

https://www.facebook.com/shaunjohnsonmusic

Shaun shares:

I wanted to write a song inspired by the Andrew Sisters as well as Bing Crosby and dedicated to the idea that one person multiplied by another can seem so much greater than the sum of its two parts. This has definitely been true in my experience. The fantastic harmonies are courtesy of Abigail Flowers who has recently been hailed as "Best Jazz Vocalist" by the Nashville Industry Music Awards. Often, in the Big Band Experience's live performances, I highlight certain musicians or small groups within the band. "Multiplied by Two" is no exception. Aaron Moe plays throughout the tune with an impromptu arrangement on alto saxophone and Dave Stanoch lays back with a one-take, live groove. Both instrumentalists are clinicians, authors and teachers who've stuck with me since I started this musical adventure. I may have to rename the song - "Multiplied by Three." The Big Band Experience set out to offer a taste of a true big band...the style and the pulse, the horn arrangements and the intimate crooners. As a singer-songwriter who appreciates many genres of music, my original compositions can sometimes be all over the proverbial map. Recently, I've been thrilled to find high school jazz vocalists sending me their versions of "Multiplied by Two" - some with an upright bass, others simply a cappella. I'd like to think "Multiplied by Two" may be at home in the feel of the Great American Songbook, and that this is noticed. If so, I've truly succeeded.
