“О, да, -Gombula- очаровывает своей стихией, когда любимый ритмический рисунок afrobeats & pop вводит в состояние транса и ты погружаешься в особый, ни на что не похожий мир. В особенности хочется выделить припев, который будет звучать в вашей голове очень длительный период.”

“Light Afro-Pop beauty, which gives emphasis to the element of friendship in our personal relations. “Padi” is the person you trust, admire, share beautiful moments with… This is the feeling that comes from these lyrics and full of positive energy sounds.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared his source of inspiration behind this song with Nagamag:

“Padi” is what “Buddy” is to an American, on the streets of Nigeria. it is a slang that connotes close friendship and fondness.

I feel being best friends is a key ingredient in romantic relationships so I wrote this song to celebrate that and i hope this will become a steady track for those who already have such friendship and also for those who aspire to such status.

“-Perfect Stranger- causes a persistent sense of nostalgia, soulful, emotional rise, desire to live and breathe air to which we absorb. The creativity of -Neena Rose- can make you listen again from time to time and feel it in all your body. -Perfect Stranger- inspires and immerses in its unique world, which helps to escape from the surrounding reality.”

“-Perfect Stranger- вызывает стойкое чувство ностальгии, душевный, эмоциональный подъём, желание жить и дышать воздухом, которой мы впитываем. К творчеству -Neena Rose- хочется время от времени возвращаться и снова ощущать её всем своим телом. -Perfect Stranger- воодушевляет и погружает в свой уникальный мир, который помогает отстраниться от окружающей действительности.”

-Nagamag.com

Neena Rose's, "Perfect Stranger", dances on the line between the persona we create for people in our minds, and how they actually are. Describing the feeling of meeting a seemingly perfect guy and the fear of learning something that may skew the perception of him. Following the saying, "ignorance is bliss", Neena Rose leaves the stranger behind before any red flags could ruin her memory of him.

Canadian singer/songwriter and Pop/R&B artist, Neena Rose, has emerged onto the music scene with a magnetism not encountered everyday. Between her breakout single, 2018's "Games", and all it successors, the talented Neena Rose is shaking things up and taking the industry by storm.

The Hamilton, Ontario-based artist has received extensive early support and has garnered large following across social media platforms, especially on TikTok. In March of 2019, she was the youngest panelist invited to speak at the California Copyright Conference, and later that year, she was 1 of only 6 Canadians nominated for the Hollywood Music and Media Awards in Los Angeles, CA.

Between her breakout single — 2018’s “Games” — its successors, “Circles” and “Rewind”, and this year’s forthcoming EP 333, Canadian singer/songwriter and pop-R&B artist Neena Rose has emerged onto the music scene with a magnetism not encountered every day.

The 17-year old Hamilton, Ontario-based artist has received extensive early support from media and playlisters, and was a recent panelist at the California Copyright Conference, making her the youngest female Canadian to speak thus far.

Her debut single — “Rock N Roll Lullaby” — was recorded at age 12 with Diamond/Platinum producer/songwriter Roy “Royalty” Hamilton III (Britney Spears, Nas), and the five years since has included performing for audience sizes up to 14,000 (including Oprah Winfrey), and singing CHCH legacy program Tiny Talent Time’s new theme song.

She’s an “amazing young talent,” says Universal Music Publishing Group’s 80 Empire. “She’s an incredible vocalist and witty lyricist… Working with her is a sheer joy!”

“Hellafun to talk with,” Cashbox Magazine’s Lenny Stoute adds. She’s a “combination of music biz savvy and emotional intelligence, with a commanding voice. Gonna go far.”

“I love it all, but writing lyrics is my favourite part,” Neena muses, reflecting on previous dips into nu-country, emo rock, and lofty pop bops before finding her most authentic self in R&B. “I want people to gain empowerment from my music. I want it to communicate to them: ‘You’ve got this. You can be different. You can do anything.’”

It’s true, and Neena Rose is leading by perfect example.

Eminel – Slide (Spotify)

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

“Listen to this pleasant story from "Eminel" and get away from everyday's madness. Hot like Summer heat Afro-fusion creation. Let the beat guide you through those rocking lyrics and prepare to party.”

-Nagamag.com

"Slide", the dance hall flavored ditty, filled with syrup lines that serenade girls and keeps the party rocking.

https://web.facebook.com/eminelpondemic
https://www.instagram.com/eminelpondemic
https://twitter.com/EminelMagic

Emmanuel Mathew who goes by the stage name Eminel is an Afro-fusion artiste with a plethora of musical influences. He infuses these influences in his songs. When he is not doing this vocally, you find some glimpse in his random poignant posts on social media.

If Eminel says he is from the street or Zanga (shout out to Durella), please believe him. You feel the street vibes in his sonic delivery. No, swear words, just a dude representing the underappreciated part of the society. He is proud of this.

In January 2021, the Yaba College of Technology student released his second single which was titled 9 AM. A feel-good and mellow tune that screams self-appraisals.

9 AM was a step up from Turn Up which was released in October 2020. On Turn Up, you have Eminel on a cruise mode, enjoying a lavi da local lifestyle while he urges the fans (girls) to come along for a good time.

On 9 AM, a more matured and well-calculated was on the mic, dropping the lines while the drum roll and guitar collide with the piano chop for a good outing.

Afrobeat exponent Fela once said Music was a weapon, Eminel must have considered this as he got featured on a track titled Change by Gucci Pre, alongside Deblon Tee

He was also featured on a track titled Enemies by Chris Jay

While we are unsure on what Eminel has in stuck for us as the year goes on, one thing is certain with the two previously released single, Eminel is full of prospects, he is the dude the industry has been waiting for.

-Nagamag.com

This song is a mix between an afro-fusion, afrobeat, dancehall, urban with some typical surinaamse kaseko influence. It’s a love song with a very catchy hook.

Pre hook: You give me Love and again and again, again and again and again.

Girl, you give me Love and again and again..

Ohw no, ohw, eh.
