ANDRÆ – Dolls

Categories: Audio, Pop, The Latest|Tags: alternative, Indie Electronic, Indie RnB, Review (EN-RU)|

“The track contains a background, structure and your own special concept, whose waves you capture as soon as you turn it on. The work is so original that it cannot be compared with anything. Unique sound and atmosphere! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Трек содержит в себе предысторию, структуру и свой особенный концепт, волны которого улавливаешь сразу, как только включаешь его. Работа настолько оригинальная, что её невозможно сравнить с чем-либо. Уникальный звук и атмосфера!”

ANDRÆ is back with his second tune of 2022: Dolls. Pushing his peculiar genre even further, he creates a soulful hyperpop and experimental electronic song, as the second chapter of the story he started with his previous release, I'm hungry.

These "dolls" are the people we idealize, objectify, and use in order to cope with the loss of a loved one, or the end of a relationship. Beyond the usual rebound, this person is seen as the perfect solution to a much more complex and personal issue, which ultimately fails and puts you back to square one. http://www.andraemusic.com/

Treis x Amaria – No Compromise

Treis x Amaria – No Compromise
(Video)

“Neo-Soul atmosphere, sensual vocals in the Indie R&B genre and enveloping the Chillwave melody. Music fills you from the inside, you feel the superiority of the peaceful mood over the imperfection of this world. This room has only you and music. Everything else is only a ghostly mirage. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Атмосфера Neo-Soul, чувственный вокал в жанре Indie R&B и обволакивающая мелодия Chillwave. Музыка наполняет вас изнутри, вы ощущаете превосходство умиротворенного настроения над несовершенством этого мира. В этой комнате есть только вы и музыка. Всё остальное лишь призрачный мираж.”

-Nagamag.com

No Compromise is the fourth, and final single off Treis’ 3rd LP, which features vocals from the R’n’B Singer Amaria. No Compromise is an admission of existential fear by the narrator to a drunk friend at a party, knowing that the friend will not remember the importance of what he is saying. The narrator questions whether or not he finds solace in this, being finally freed from “keeping it in,” but doing nothing particularly constructive with this newfound freedom.

La Macarena Records – Good Times Roll, Pt. 3
(Video)

“In vocal, something else prevails, there is a characteristic timbre balance, as if it were from another planet. This is a real mixture of passion and emotions that attracts to itself. A fantastic mood in the bright rays of Neo-Soul and Indie R&B, in the whirlpool of which you irrevocably drown. We guarantee! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“В вокале преобладает нечто иное, присутствует характерный тембральный баланс, будто он с другой планеты. Это настоящая смесь страсти и эмоций, которая так и манит к себе. Фантастическое настроение в ярких лучах Neo-Soul и Indie R&B, в водовороте которых вы безвозвратно утоните. Гарантируем!”

About three months ago I had a dream, I was in a band playing Jack White’s guitar, which sounded like a bass, Charlie Watts was playing drums, Earl King was singing, there was a horn section and the Raelettes were doing the backing vocals. To one side were Lennon and McCartney shouting and clapping. It was a call and response song, between the singer and the riff, and the horns and the Raelettes jumped in in the chorus. When I woke up the song was still vivid in my memories.

Cymek – Take His Place (feat. Josephina)
(Spotify)

“A very complex drawing of a rhythm-section in which the elements of Chillstep are present. The pits are simply amazing, falling into which you fall into the abyss, and then again, taking another sip of fresh air, throws you to the very bottom of the deep ocean cavity. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Очень сложный рисунок ритм-секции, в котором присутствуют элементы Chillstep. Ямы просто потрясающие, попадая в которые проваливаешься в бездну, а потом вновь, сделав очередной глоток свежего воздуха, бросает вас на самое дно глубокой океанской впадины.”

-Nagamag.com

"Take His Place" was written about longing after a lost love, and the desire to replace a current partner with that person you're dreaming about. The song is performed by bass music artist Cymek and vocalist Josephina, and is released by Excision's label Subsidia.

Dantes – INSATIABLE
(Video)

“There is something special in this track that opens the locked doors of your insatiable soul, letting the rays of light into it. Get rid of darkness inside you, let the Neo-Soul melody leads you. Let me leave your own shadow for at least a few minutes and enjoy the beautiful singing -Dantes-. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Есть в этом треке нечто особенное, что открывает запертые двери вашей ненасытной души, впуская в неё лучи света. Избавьтесь от тьмы внутри вас, пусть мелодия Neo-Soul ведёт вас за собой. Позвольте хотя бы на несколько минут отлучиться от собственной тени и насладиться прекрасным пением -Dantes-.”

House of Miagi – Too Late

House of Miagi – Too Late
(Spotify)

“A smooth, feel-good fusion that combines Afro-beats, dancehall with R&B vocals and orchestration. The lyrics fit the mood perfectly and, in the artists’ own words – portray “a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions.””

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"The inspiration behind this song is one i am sure most people have experienced, its a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions. This is also very selfish, slightly toxic and unfair to the one that loves most."

Rainezra – When You Realize
(Spotify)

“The melody of Neo-Soul and Indie R&B, which begins calmly, measuredly, and then develops into an emotional storm, can make your heart be faster than the previous one. The enchanting vocals -rainezra- will be a discovery for you, it is too good. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Мелодия Neo-Soul и Indie R&B, которая начинается спокойно, размеренно, а затем перерастает в эмоциональную бурю, способна заставить забиться ваше сердце быстрее прежнего. Чарующий вокал -Rainezra- станет для вас открытием, уж слишком он хорош.”

-Nagamag.com

"When You Realize" is a song with a double meaning. Its about realizing your own worth. It's about other people realizing your worth when it's too late and you've already moved on.

Micah Willis – Tell Me
(Spotify)

“When you sympathize someone you tend to support this person too. In this explosive single, "Micah Willis" makes it clear that he can do everything for his friend in order to see her happy. Sencere feelings expressed with R&B style and a stunning electric guitar solo towards the finale.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"Recently, I was invited to a bar with a few friends. One of the friends I have liked for a long long LONG time. But she has always had a boyfriend. When we went out, she told me about how terrible her boyfriend treats her and how he cheats on her constantly; but she is still with him. This made me so angry because she literally deserves the world. And to know that she has to put up with his shit is heartbreaking. So I wrote "Tell Me" about that instance. In a nutshell, the song is basically about letting her know that I can treat her right and she can leave him and I will be able to make her happy."

BrandosLife – Mistakes

BrandosLife – Mistakes
(Spotify)

“A pleasant intro, very soulful vocals -brandoslife-, a melodic transition to the second part of the track and pacifying Outro with a light, background percussion. In general, in front of you is a great example of a high -quality Indie R&B, which is endowed with an important quality - a warm sound. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Приятное intro, очень проникновенный вокал -BrandosLife-, мелодичный переход ко второй части трека и умиротворяющее outro с лёгкой, фоновой перкуссией. В целом перед вами прекрасный пример качественного Indie R&B, который наделён важным качеством — тёплым звучанием.”

-Nagamag.com

“Being manipulated, gaslit and led on had me feeling some type of way. 'Mistakes' is about taking your power back when you put someone who you thought was special on a pedestal but they simply do nothing but consistently disappoint. I mean they do say crushes are nothing but a lack of information…”

This release is a mid-tempo Afropop record inspired by ‘Lion King: The Gift’ by Beyoncé an album that celebrates the music of Africa. It’s a fun light-hearted record that will be released on the 6th May 2022 in time for the slow transition from Spring to Summer! It’s been purposefully arranged with the intention of getting listeners dancing and vibing whether it be from the groovy beat or the overdramatic pop lyricism.
