Michael Taylor – Fighting Gravity (Spotify)

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

“Undeniably, ‘Fighting Gravity’ by Michael Taylor is a Nashville influenced tragic love anthem that is not entirely obvious. (The Nashville influence that is) Michael’s instinct for melody shines through the song giving it a highly charged emotional feel. The song also has an Americana, Folk-Rock flavour. Think Tom Petty meets Keith Urban. A great debut from an artist we will be hearing a lot more from.”

Fighting Gravity is a pop anthem breakup song about the tragic premonition that a relationship is unsalvageable- that all your efforts to save it just show it can't work. It's the moment you pull the eject lever instead of crashing in a doomed attempt to fly...

Heartbeat drums punctuate heartbreak in reflective verses, searching piano riffs echo with desperate hope, and the anthemic chorus explodes like nosediving plane in a mayday call.

"We're only fighting gravity... Some people weren't made to fly."

If truth is a hard to-come-by commodity, singer/songwriter Michael Taylor has an antidote. The southern native's honest voice is at the very core of his music. Southern born, mid-west raised and now Nashville-bound, this musical storyteller proudly wears his heart on his sleeve. His songs weave human emotion through a transcendent voice and a stunning instinct for melody.

Working with Australian wunderkind producer Andrew Furze, he spent months crafting his debut EP, collaborating closely with pop luminary Hayley Warner (Katy Perry, Tori Kelly). The result is a stunning debut that blends sharp pop sensibilities with the finest tradition of Americana folk and rock. Petty-ish grooves, Hozier-like gospel influences and a Shawn Mendes-esque pop smarts - it’s a compelling combination.

Born in the heart of southern Virginia, raised in Minnesota and now plying his trade in Nashville, Michael Taylor is an exciting new talent who’s journey in some ways is just beginning.

Milky – I Miss You Mum (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Big musical enjoyment coming from such a mental name. -I Miss You Mum- sounds so deep inside and also creates an ideal combination of sounds among themselves. Like an elite drink of balm, which you try with small sips and enjoy its taste.”

“Настоящее наслаждение музыкальным напиткам под таким душевным названием. -I Miss You Mum- звучит так глубоко внутри, что создаёт идеальную комбинацию и сочетание звуков между собой. Словно бальзам из элитного напитка, который вы пьёте маленькими глотками и наслаждаетесь его вкусом.”

-Nagamag.com

Up and coming rap artist Milky is using his unique musical talents to reach out to anyone who has lost a parent with his new, emotional debut song ‘I Miss You Mum’, releasing on Monday 7th June.

In his new track, Milky shares a heartfelt insight into life without his mum. His impactful lyrics describe the grief and pain that he has dealt with since losing her, but also the warmth and protection he has felt from her presence in difficult times, particularly during his recovery from a long-term battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

“I’ve always wanted to write a song for my mum after losing her when I was seven years old,” says Milky, “but I never even started until after I got out of rehab.

“Now I’m clean and sober, I’ve dealt with it for the first time in my life, emotionally. I didn’t get counseling when I was a kid and maybe I should have had that. My life spiraled out of control, I was pushed and pulled from pillar to post by family members. It was a hard time and all I wanted was that one person to give me a hug, and that was my mum.”

Milky is passionate about reaching out to people who have been through the same struggles as him. His eclectic and free-flowing style pairs perfectly with the range of stories he tells in his music, taking inspiration from the things he’s seen and the things he’s been through. He calls ‘I Miss You Mum’ the most powerful song he’s ever written.

“This song is for anyone that’s lost a parent, or someone close to them, that needed that guidance.” Says Milky.

“When your parents pass, they will always be with you everywhere you go and I know that now. I lost my dad as well when I was in rehab and I can feel him with me all the time, especially during the dark times when I’m alone. I can feel something there.

“This song has helped me turn negative to positive and I just want to let the world know about my mum and make her as proud as I possibly can. Through this song and this video, my mum will be seen.”

‘I Miss You Mum’ is out now through We Are Not Saints - a record label working exclusively with artists in recovery - and available on over 150 streaming platforms including Spotify, Itunes, Amazon Music, Youtube, and Deezer.

Asbjørn – (Love Like A) Teenager (Spotify)

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

“Nagamag would like to immediately praise the author for his professional approach in creating this track. Sound, arrangement, vocals, everything in the right place. - (Love Like A) Teenage- very suitable to remember all the good and bad things in life, to make the right conclusions, and the hopelessness of the nebula remain in the distant past.”

“Сразу хочется похвалить автора за его профессиональный подход в создании этого трека. Звук, аранжировка, вокал, всё на своих местах. -(Love Like A) Teenage- очень хорошо подходит, чтобы вспомнить все хорошие и плохие события в жизни, сделать правильные выводы и всю безнадежную туманность оставить в далёком прошлом.”

-Nagamag.com

With his new single, a 90s-pop-infused summer-banger, Asbjørn once again proves his Scandinavian pop to be as inventive as it is catchy. Disguised as a one-man-boyband, Asbjørn lures you in with orchestral stabs and an infectious sing-along refrain - but I bet you’ve never heard a key-change quite like this. ‘(Love Like A) Teenager’ is accompanied by a secret music video, also teased in last months visuals for the first single Young Dumb Crazy.

https://youtu.be/qT9Z4xRgpww

The video turns back time to 2016, where the video was filmed - but never released - and is an exclusive gift to Asbjørn’s fans, who pre-save the song or sign up for his newsletter.

Since the beginning of his career, Asbjørn has explored gender and identity on stage, his lyrics and music videos. Striving to “be the male ideal I desperately needed myself when I was a teenager”, Asbjørn also tours schools in his native Denmark, combining an infectious live show with student dialogues to talk about ideals in the mainstream. He says: “I don’t care what society considers masculine, but I sure did back then. I want to create a space where they can express their identity, sexuality and feelings freely.”

In the coming weeks, Asbjørn will explore these matters further as a guest contributor at Germany’s leading music and culture magazine, KALTBLUT. Under the title POPTOPIA, Asbjørn will host a series of interviews on Kaltblut and Instagram Live, discussing identity and pop culture with prominent guests from both in and outside the music industry. The first instalment of POPTOPIA features the British rapper James Indigo, and will be announced via Asbjørn’s socials and Kaltblut.

‘(Love Like A) Teenager’ is released on Wednesday the 2nd of June and is Asbjørn’s second single from his forthcoming LP BOYOLOGY, due to be released later this year via Embassy of Music and his imprint Body of Work.

Limón Limón – Still In The Dark (Spotify)

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

“A catchy indie pop tune with a distinct retro feel. Driven by a classic 808 drum machine & the warmth is provided by the Phill Colins like vocals & lush vintage synths. The guitar & bass also have that classic 80’s pop vibe. Extremely well produced, ‘Still In The Dark’ by Limón Limón will definitely appeal to lovers of the mainstream charts music of that era.”

Limón Limón is back with “Still In The Dark” which recalls the end of a failing relationship, leaving both sides running from the pain of an eventual breakup. The song depicts a late night drive without a destination, lost in emotions, searching for the courage to move on. Heartfelt vocals are blanketed by the warmth of vintage synths, woven together with rhythm guitar and fueled by the beat of a classic 808 drum machine. LANY meets Phil Collins in this 80s inspired tune with an indie twist.

Maviii, Pete Rango – Time (Spotify)

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

“With a current, meaningful narrative discussing the way our collective & personal perception of time has changed drastically in the past year. This sweet-toned song aptly entitled ‘Time,’ carries us along on a tide of emotion with a strong main melody, surrounded by engaging vocal harmonies and instrumentation.”

-Nagamag.com

Time has a funny way of playing games with our delicate minds. At times it can stand still, or feel like it's slipping away through our fingers. We created it, It's so valuable, and we all have a limited amount. When I was quarantined for 4 months alone time began to move in a way I have never experienced before. I was able to reflect on the parts of myself I wanted to change. This song encompasses what it feels like to navigate your life when time loses all meaning. To take cold showers to try and feel more present, to dance so you don't cry. Just like every challenge we face in this life, we grow through it.
