https://ffm.to/d9mwxxb

Rising Boston-based Pop singer/songwriter Gillian returns with her first single of 2021 via “burnout”. After releasing a slew of well received music last year, she’s starting off the new year strong and is gearing up to release a ton more music throughout the year.

Gillian treats her music as a conduit for truth. Whether behind the piano or with a guitar in hand, the Boston-based artist chronicles life’s ups and downs, ebbs and flows, and trials and tribulations with thoughtful clarity, poetic eloquence, and a stirring soulful voice. Documenting the dissolution of a relationship, confronting the pains of addiction, or facing loneliness, she confidently conveys unbridled emotion with wisdom that belies her 16 years of age.

Gillian made her introduction in 2019 with the independent release of her debut EP, Unfiltered. The lead single, “What It Felt Like,” impressively tallied 200K Spotify streams — no small feat for an unsigned act. 2020 is set to be another banner year for Gillian as she heads towards the release of her album, 3AM, due for release this Summer.

“From where to start and where to end for this blissful song? Wins your attention from the first milliseconds! The sound layering and atmosphere here is brilliant, Emily Coulston impressive vocal capabilities comes to give the secret spice of a wonderful recipe that has been cooked here. This is a memorable song, which invites you to listen again and again on repeat! ”

-Nagamag.com

The track had an unlikely birth. du0 tells the story: “The three of us were among nine musicians invited to attend AMPLIFY, QMusic’s Songwriting Retreat at Heliport Studios in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia. It was amazing and incredibly hectic. We were rotated in groups of three and had to come up with a song from scratch, and produce and record it in 4 hours. We did this five times in three days.”

The result, Come Home, has had 1,107,000 streams on Spotify, but little radio play so far. And now the acoustic video is going off on YouTube. There may be something in this, we don’t know. Hopefully you can help us find out what it is.

“Single I'm With You is a hymn to charity through the eyes of children, and they thus represent all the holy and innocent, what was left in our world of unfulfilled dreams. Kindness, warmth and comfort to you and your home.”

“Сингл I’m With You это благотворительный гимн глазами детей, а они тем самым отражают всё то святое и невинное, что осталось в нашем мире несбыточных грёз. Добра, тепла и уюта Вам и Вашему дому.”

-Nagamag.com

About this song:

"Over the past few months my 7-year-old daughter and I have found it helpful for our own mental health wellbeing to focus on being creative through music, and as our response we’ve recorded a song called ‘I’m With You’.

In order to support other children that may be experiencing difficulties, we’re fundraising for the children’s mental health charity, Place2Be. This charity provides much needed advice and support for not only children, but their families and school staff too, ensuring that children are supported in every aspect of their lives.

If you like the song, we’d love for you to help us raise awareness through simply adding this to your playlist and/or discussing this on your blog. If you’d like to join us in supporting this cause, and spreading the word, we’ve set up a JustGiving page: https://justgiving.com/fundraising/imwithyou

Of course this is about the music, and how it moves people’s emotion. From my own experience, I know how important music is in helping, as is access to mental health support during early years, and for us to do as much as we can to help children who are struggling with mental health problems. This is especially true right now.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. Please feel free to share to help raise awareness, to help ensure that no child has to face mental health problems alone."

Becoming Young – No Strings Attached (Spotify)

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

“Singer and songwriter Brandon Calano, who writes and performs under the pseudonym of Becoming Young, combines the best of modern pop music and our beloved folk. After listening remains both easy and exciting feeling of freedom and unity!”

“Певец и автор песен Brandon Calano, который пишет и выступает под псевдонимом Becoming Young, сочетает в себе лучшее из современной поп-музыки и любимого нами фолка. После прослушивания остаётся одновременно лёгкое и захватывающее чувство свободы и единства!”

-Nagamag.com

Is a connection ever purely physical? Becoming Young’s Brandon Calano finds out the answer the hard way on his invigorating new pop single, “No Strings Attached.”

It started simple enough: in the backseat of a friend’s car Brandon kissed a mysteriously exotic girl. The two met at a party earlier that night but didn’t hit off until they were under a magnificent, crisp Colorado summer sky, nestled in a friend’s car. It was a buzzed romance—blurry, exciting, and impulsive.

How do you follow an evening like this? The short answer is you go on another date, and then you get disappointed that the connection isn’t real, and then you move on. When the connection is real, however, complications arise. Brandon came home from said proper date euphoric and subsequently wrote the single “Reverie.” This alluring new woman called him the next day, and matter-of-factly stated: “I was just calling to make sure you’re not falling in love with me, ‘cause I can’t do that right now.” Turns out that carefree kiss wasn’t so carefree.

“When I wrote ‘No Strings Attached,’ it was mainly about lust. I had no idea I would fall for her to the extent I did,” Brandon recalls. “Looking back, it’s astonishing how much I’ve developed as a person since writing this song.”

“No Strings Attached” is almost a breezy pop gem, replete with acoustic guitars, washes of ambient textures, heavenly harmony vocals, and lead vocals that undulate between urban-pop rhythmic flow and soulful melodicism. The tune’s slick bounce—a signature touch courtesy of Sony/BMG producer Austin Shawn—lends it an urban strut. Another powerful dynamic touch is the contrast between the detached cool verses and the explosively hooky choruses that recall smashes by pop artists such as Troye Sivan and Glass Animals.

Thematically, “No Strings Attached” is partially a flippant response to the initial phone call. In the pre-chorus, Brandon sings: ‘Cause there's a couple Colorado girls I love/Couple of east-coast honeys I want/And this LA babe that keeps me up/I know it's trouble, but I just love the rush/So baby don't call my bluff, ‘cause I don't need your love. This is all playful posturing, of course, bordering on denial, and the push/pull of the verses and choruses foreshadows reality bursting out. The truth is, Brandon is soon to be attached, heartstrings and all.
