Bukola – A Good Thing (Video)

Categories: Pop, The Latest, Video|Tags: Bukola, Commercial, Contemporary RnB, Review (EN)|

“Our lives may not actually be as we wish, but from time to time good oportunities appear. Do we recognize the good things or let them pass away? Listen to this cheerful song from Bukola and find out what we mean.”

-Nagamag.com

Vancouver musician Bukola has been dreaming of releasing her own music since she was 9 years old and now her dreams are coming true with the launch of her debut single and video ‘A Good Thing’.

The first single from her debut EP The Chronicles of A Teenage Mind which is set for release this summer, ‘A Good Thing’ is all about knowing your own worth and not settling for anything less.

“‘A Good Thing’ was originally written as a way of me poking fun at the ‘player’ mentality that quite a bit of people my age adopt,” says Bukola. “So when you listen to the song, you’ll notice a bunch of witty lines and references to them needing to grow up and to ultimately recognize ‘A Good Thing’ when they see it. However, as I’ve gotten to live with the song, it’s also taken on an anthemic role as it serves to remind myself and hopefully others that we are all deserving of someone who will treat us right.The song reminds us we are good things, and if someone can’t see that – it’s on them.”

Recently hailed by the CBC as one of the Top 10 Soulful Female Artists in the 2020 CBC Searchlight competition, Bukola blends the sounds of contemporary R&B and Jazz music to create her own soulful sound. She’s deeply influenced by artists such as India.Arie, Daniel Caesar and H.E.R., and worked with Grammy Award-winning producer, Chin Injeti, and Juno Award-winning producer Ben Kaplan on her soon to be released debut EP The Chronicles of A Teenage Mind.

Bukola’s new single ‘A Good Thing’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit https://www.bukolamusic.com/

Loyk – 1999
(Spotify)

“The new heartfelt single 1999, from 20 year old Belgian singer songwriter Loyk (Björn Loykens), who incidentally is famous for his dancing in his home country. Is out now & if this song is anything to go by? His dancing is soon to be overshadowed by his outstanding musical performances. The track opens with a melancholic solo piano intro & then slips seamlessly into a vocal drifting somewhere between R&B & cloud rap.
This is a wonderful song, Lo-fi in its hazy, dreamlike and relaxed sound. The lyrics pull you into the heart & soul of Loyk & the loving, yet difficult relationship he has with his mother. Beautifully performed & produced I can highly recommend this tear-jerker of a track.”

At age 20, Loyk (Björn Loykens) is already a veteran dancer in Belgium but only recently got naturally ushered into making music. After meeting producer Jazz Maeson, he’s been sojourning in a creative space for the past year. He eventually reconciled to a wavy sound that explores the edges of r&b and cloud rap, the perfect vehicle to spread his message and express his personal feelings. Loyk is now ready to share his music with the world.

Kerrigan Barry – Honest with God [Official Audio]
(Video)

“The song -Honest with God- makes you think about the brave decisions in life. -Kerrigan Barry- invested in her creative talent, charisma and refined inexhaustible stream of fresh energy. A surprising result that we listen and enjoy.”

“Песня -Honest with God- заставляет задумываться о смелых решениях на жизненном пути. -Kerrigan Barry- вложила в своё творение весь свой талант, отточенную харизму и поток неиссякаемой, свежей энергии. Удивительное рядом. Слушаем и наслаждаемся. ”

-Nagamag.com

“Honest with God” addresses what Kerrigan Barry believes to be the cardinal principle of genuine songwriting; writing music should be so honest, that regardless of what you believe in spiritually or otherwise, it should feel like you’re writing a letter to God. For Kerrigan, songwriting and music are sanctified, defining a religion all their own. To some, the song’s meaning might be open for interpretation, but at its core, “Honest with God” is for anyone looking to leave their pain, heartache and unimaginable struggle behind for 3 minutes and 44 seconds; it’s about embracing exactly who you are, courageously and without fear.

https://www.instagram.com/kerriganbarrymusic/

Raw, real, and unapologetically reckless, Kerrigan Barry was born with a fire in her heart, stoked by rock ‘n’ roll in her bones. The Cleveland, Ohio native found catharsis and truth in writing lyrics and melodies after watching Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band Live In New York City on DVD as a 5-year old kid. Quite possibly the only 4th grader in her generation to have The Rolling Stones’ Tattoo You on their iPod shuffle, Kerrigan began her lifelong love affair with music, and it has since proved to be the most beautifully intoxicating relationship she ever imagines experiencing. Kerrigan Barry’s “Honest with God” was selected as a finalist in 35th Annual American Songwriter Song Competition, praised for her raw approach to putting pen to paper. “Honest with God” is available now [orcd.co/honestwithgod] on all platforms.

Gillian Heidi – out of my mind
(Spotify)

“Piece of pure beauty from a young talented artist. Gillian Heidi tries to express herself via music and this song is a bright example. Her singing reveals an eruption of authentic feelings and that kind of acoustic Pop style can reach perfection.”

-Nagamag.com

Upcoming Boston-based Pop singer/songwriter Gillian returns with her second single release of 2021 on “out of my mind”. 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 2021. Check out her new single above and read a quote from Gillian on the songs meaning below now!

https://www.facebook.com/gillianheidimusic/

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.

https://www.instagram.com/gillian_music/

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.

QUOTE:

“"out of my mind" is about feeling crazy for feeling unsure in a relationship. I felt as though something was off, but I had no evidence. Everything in my relationship was so perfect, but I still couldn't believe it, and I felt like I was going crazy making it all up in my head. The music in "out of my mind" is chaotic and loud, exactly how I was feeling at the time I wrote it. This song is so special to me, and I hope that others can connect to it in the way that I did!” - Gillian Heidi

Timebelle – No se puede (Lyric video)
(Video)

“Light song that focuses on the great power of love in these difficult times. The love you may get from every person who cares, gives countless hope and courage to overcome every obstacle in life. Timebelle offers valuable support with the help of her music talent.”

-Nagamag.com

Recording songs in the bedroom, that’s the way Corona made us create new music.

Timebelle’s latest release is a versatile track because it combines the vibe of a ballad with a cool, groovy beat and a strong bass, a top line that takes you into some Spanish old movie, and the cherry on the top – the saxophone that really transforms this track into a deep, emotional, love song.

No Se Puede is written by Timebelle in collaboration with Switzerland-based Chilean singer/songwriter Alejandro Reyes and Romanian producer Andy Platon. Reyes has contributed to the lyrics part, helping in creating the right Latin atmosphere with his inspiration and native linguistic aptitudes. The track was produced in Bucharest by talented Andy who is also an old collaborator of the group, putting his personal touch into it.

Corona times pushes artists into being very creative, meaning the song was recorded in the bedroom which isn’t just a room where you can sleep, but also the room where you create and record your music.

Rosalie – Hologram Refracted
(Spotify)

“Many things in life aren't as they look like. Fake images and behaviours can be almost everywhere around us. A selected song from Rosalie can help you realise this truth or probably find out your own true story. Adult Contemporary mood at its best, guided by the artist's unique ghostly-like voice!”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words with nagamag about this song:

"Hologram Refracted is the alt version of my latest pop single Hologram. It's strips away the electronic drums and more commercial pop dressings of the original version to put a spotlight on the singer-songwriter soul of the song. This one is a little extra special to me because it's the first track I'm releasing that I've produced myself. In a full circle moment, I made it while quarantining in my childhood bedroom. It's the same room I learned how to play guitar at 16. The room I fell in love with music. The room where I wrote my first song. And now the room where I made my self-produced release."
