Chain Of Islands – Shelter
(Video)

“Impressive accession, in the entire track with a shift in R & B that excites and paralyzes. Beautiful voice, gentle and measured bits, solid charm. -Shelter- leads on goosebumps with its angelic vocals and strong ending. Incredibly nice to listen and enjoy.”

“Впечатляющее вступление, а весь трек с уклоном в R&B возбуждает и парализует. Прекрасный припев, нежный и размеренный бит, слушать который сплошное очарование. -Shelter- пробирает на мурашки, ангельские голоса вокалистов, сильная концовка, невероятно приятно слушать и наслаждаться.”

Chain of Islands has premiered the official music video for their latest ballad track “Shelter” exclusively on CLOUT. The pop duo – made up of Nick Goins and Derek Vautrinot – have creatively crafted a video that not only offers fans a beautiful performance of the track, but gives a sense of nostalgia with its black and white film elements reminiscent of old-Hollywood film. The duo’s performance in the visual is an emotional reflection of the song’s meaning of healing, and having faith in one’s own strength.

“The video for ‘Shelter’ is an effort to capture the feeling of self reflection throughout the times. An isolated moment on the couch when you can take an honest look inward to reflect on who you are and where you’re going, and how the feeling must have felt in any era, past to future.” – Chain of Islands

Chain of Islands is a pop duo originally formed in Boston, MA and currently split between Orange County, CA and Providence, RI. Nick and Derek both met through playing in heavier rock acts (Lions Lions and Que Sera) from the New England area. After years of heavily touring the rock/hardcore scene, both members decided to collaborate and pursue new creative avenues leading to the birth of Chain of Islands. The band is excited to release their debut EP slated for release this summer.

Arena – Fever
(Spotify)

“This will be a huge track that will be on every radio station and on every dance hall DJ’s playlist this summer. Superbly produced, expertly arranged, and full of beautifully symphonious vocal harmonies & orchestration, that blend seamlessly with the punchy, percussive makes you want to dance beat. ‘Fever’ by Arena is a well-balanced winner.”

-Nagamag.com

After picking up his first guitar at the age of 10, Joey Arena knew there was no “Plan B,” music is his purpose. Making friends with the road at the age of 17 and living one night at a time, the stages grew bigger as did the fans along the way. Arena grew up in a city of arts, Rochester, NY. The home to household names such as Lou Gramm and Steve Gadd; a geographical foundation in which he’d build a music career.

Breagh Isabel – Girlfriends
(Video)

“There was no limit to our enjoyment when we heard this track. In less than three minutes’ time you are poured with many bright and unusual sound elements, which immediately attract every attention. -Girlfriends- is a quite romantic track, which we safely recommend for daily listening.”

“Нашей феерии восторга не было предела, когда мы услышали этот трек. Все неполные три минуты на вас выливаются много ярких и необычных звуковых элементов, которые сразу привлекают к себе своё внимание. -Girlfriends- приподнятый, сдержанный, и очень романтичный трек, который можно смело рекомендовать для ежедневного прослушивания.”

-Nagamag.com

Breagh Isabel – the Halifax-based and Cape Breton Island-born recording artist, songwriter and producer – has released her debut single today, “Girlfriends,” along with the official video . The song helps usher in her new recording contract with Warner Music Canada.

https://breaghisabel.com/

“Girlfriends” is a pop-leaning, coming-of-age story about a very specific type of heartbreak; the kind that comes from being a lovesick teenager in less welcoming times. The song emerged from a session with one of her Canadian songwriting crushes, Simon Wilcox (Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez, Lennon Stella). Isabel offered up the lyrics, “maybe we were homophobic” and like an astute therapist, Wilcox instantly started peeling back the layers, unravelling a closely kept story that needed to be told, and thus “Girlfriends” was born.

https://www.instagram.com/breaghisabel/?hl=en

“I had no firm intention of delving into a solo artist project when I wrote ‘Girlfriends,’ but the song easily became the most honest thing I had ever written. I started to feel like I had something to say that might resonate,” says Isabel. “The song is about little – and sometimes big – moments and thoughts I didn’t know what to do with at the time, but now realize were just expressions of me figuring out who I am.”

The theme of heartbreak is vivid in the accompanying music video, filmed in both Vancouver and Halifax. The video follows two high school students (played by Carolyn Yu and Cassidy Foley) as they explore burgeoning feelings, echoing the lyrics of Isabel’s song. The video was funded in part by the MVP Project, produced by Shelby Manton of Boldly and directed by Tamara Black.

Sonically, “Girlfriends” pairs thought-provoking, emotive storytelling with dynamic percussion and bouncy electric guitar that counterintuitively make the song feel catchy and calming all at once. Airy vocal swells and synths off the top of the track set the stage for the song’s dream-like reflection. In her signature smoky timbre, Isabel sings, “I wanted to be girlfriends, but we were just girl friends,” revealing the painful standstill of confusion and loss that comes from love unrequited.

“It’s a bit of a sad song wrapped up in a happy-sounding package. The lyrics don’t really tell a hopeful story,” Isabel spills. “The resolution comes from the fact that I can own the experience and re-tell it from a place of happiness.”

Though Girlfriends signals the start of her own solo career, Breagh Isabel’s creative handiwork will likely already be familiar to music audiences. Isabel has written for and been featured on the records of artists like Classified, Ria Mae, Donovan Woods and BANNERS. While the world was in lockdown, she cut her teeth in production and signed a publishing deal with Concord Music. Her tracks have already been featured on the megahit show Grey’s Anatomy and the superhero series Batwoman. She also toured throughout Canada and Europe and gained international recognition during her time as a member of the band Port Cities. Mostly writing for others, she would often tuck little ideas away that seemed overly personal, but with “Girlfriends, Breagh Isabel is now ready to begin a new chapter all her own.

(Video)

“Exceptionally balanced instrumental mix from “FATCAT” & “Hannah Wilhelm”. Find your favourite acoustic sound in this collaborative Funk gem and feed your ears with its elegant vibrations. We really liked the vocal duo, which acts in strict synchronization with all the rest.”

-Nagamag.com

https://www.instagram.com/hannahwilhelmofficial/

The teaser from the first episode of the concert film series “WeLive on Tour” is here and comes up with a highly exciting combination: The concert film combines the singer Hannah Wilhelm from Lahr and the already well-known funk band FATCAT – singer-songwriter meets funk. The live video for “Oh Welt”, written by Hannah Wilhelm and arranged by FATCAT, released on 8 June, offers a first taste. German lyrics meet funky brass interludes and great voices.

“It’s totally amazing to see the result for the first time,” Hannah Willhelm said happily after the release. Even on stage, she didn’t notice exactly what was happening around her, “because I just had so much fun. What FATCAT has done with the song is unbelievable. And also what the WeLive team did with the song is unbelievable. I’m just ultra happy happy happy” about the result, says the singer.

FATCAT frontman Kenny Joyner is also satisfied with the film, shot in the Sternenberghalle Friesenheim. Because of Corona, they couldn’t rehearse as usual before a gig, so they had to make do via digital rehearsals. “It was something new for all of us. But it was a lot of fun,” says Joyner.

Hannah Wilhelm achieved nationwide fame in 2020 through her participation in the German casting show “The Voice of Germany”. The funk band FATCAT from Freiburg, on the other hand, is no longer a newcomer and has even been on the main stage of the Montreux Jazz Festival. The concert film series “WeLive on Tour” will release their first joint concert film with titles by Hannah Wilhelm and FATCAT on 20 June 2021, so you can look forward to it!

Der Teaser für die erste Episode der Konzertfilm-Serie “WeLive on Tour” ist da und wartet gleich mit einer hochspannenden Kombination auf: Der Konzerfilm vereint die Lahrer Sängerin Hannah Wilhelm und die bereits bestens bekannte Funkband FATCAT – Singer-Songwriter trifft also auf Funk. Ein erster Vorgeschmack bietet das am 08. Juni veröffentlichte Live-Video zu “Oh Welt”, geschrieben von Hannah Wilhelm, arrangiert von FATCAT. Deutsche Texte treffen auf funkige Bläsereinlagen und großartige Stimmen. “Es ist total krass, jetzt erstmals das Ergebnis zu sehen”, freute sich Hannah Willhelm nach der Veröffentlichung. Sie habe selbst auf der Bühne gar nicht genau mitbekommen, was alles um sie herum passiert ist, “weil ich einfach so viel Spaß hatte. Was FATCAT aus dem Song gemacht hat ist unfassbar. Und auch was das WeLive-Team aus dem Song gemacht hat ist unfassbar. Ich bin einfach nur ultra happy happy happy”, so die Sängerin.

Auch FATCAT-Frontman Kenny Joyner zeigt sich zufrieden mit dem in der Sternenberghalle gedrehten Film. Man habe wegen Corona nicht wie gewohnt vor einem Auftritt proben können, deshalb musste man sich über digitale Proben behelfen. “Es war für uns alle etwas neues. Aber es hat richtig viel Spaß gemacht”, so Joyner.

Hannah Wilhelm erreichte im Jahr 2020 durch ihre Teilnahme an der deutschen Casting-Show “The Voice of Germany” bundesweite Bekanntheit. Die Funkband FATCAT aus Freiburg ist hingegen kein Newcomer mehr und stand sogar bereits auf der Hauptbühne des Montreux Jazz Festival. Ihren ersten gemeinsamen Konzertfilm mit Titeln von Hannah Wilhelm und von FATCAT veröffentlicht die Konzertfilm-Serie “WeLive on Tour” am 20. Juni 2021. Man darf also gespannt sein!

Modernlove. – lmk (if you wanna see me) –
(Video)

“-LMK (If You Wanna See Me)- can snatch a heart from its own body. Take off above the clouds, recharge from the rays of the sun and return. Music felt as if wrapping you into an imaginary blanket and in this cozy atmosphere you are able to forget about everything. Are you ready to dive in the song, as if in the bottomless ocean?”

“Припев в – lmk (if you wanna see me)- способен вырвать сердце из собственного тела; взлететь выше облаков, зарядиться лучами солнца и вернуться. Музыка словно заворачивает вас в воображаемое одеяло и в этой уютной атмосфере вы способны забыть обо всём. Вы готовы утонуть в песне, словно в бездонном океане? ”

-Nagamag.com

If you wanna see me is a song about a formative period of your life ending.
