Carla Stark, born Carla Biset-Bentchikou, is 33 years old. With her Algerian-German mother and French father, Carla lived first in France, then in Vietnam and in India. The French-Algerian singer, Belgian at heart, now spends her time between Bombay, London and Belgium, where she settled 13 years ago. Proud of the many different sides of her personality, she describes herself as a chameleon.

Carla grew up listening to both Korn and Stevie Wonder. With the sound of her father’s saxophone in her ears, she was singing the lyrics to Claude Nougaro before she could even talk. As you understand it, music has been a part of her life since the beginning. For 16 years, she works hard on the piano, before leaving it and focusing on high school, that she finished in Vietnam. She then moves to Belgium where she studies at the Solvay Business School et gets a Master in Economics (by presenting a thesis on music therapy).

Just out of school, and after a few years of business experience, Carla feels like she doesn’t belong and decides to follow her heart and be an artist. She takes a few singing lessons, joins a theatre group, then integrates the Cours Florent, a theatre school in Brussels where she will study a few months before joining the Indian music “Beyond Bollywood”, where she will go from being in the production team to being on stage as an actor and a dancer, for the whole Europe tour of the show.

Carla Stark’s latest album “Karma” was a quest. A quest of love and a search to find herself again after a painful breakup. The singer comes back today with a new EP “C.”, sometimes inspired by her deceptions, sometimes by the optimism of her better life. Chameleon with multiple influences, the artist lives between Brussels, London and Mumbai and decides to sing her emotions in booth English and French.

Madison Beer – BOYSHIT (Official Lyric Video) (Video)

Categories: Features, Pop, Pop Features, The Latest, Video|Tags: , , |

“Madison is back with a new surprise; “Boyshit” is a meaningful song, expressing interesting ideas too. Also fast, strongly emotional and prototypic in a way that immediately sticks out from the ordinary music creations. We are pretty sure that it’s gonna be viral very soon.”

-Nagamag.com

Today sees Madison Beer release her latest single “BOYSHIT” via Epic Records. With the release comes Madison’s Vevo LIFT campaign, which features a performance of the single, along with “Selfish”, her fastest ever US certified gold record, and a short film on the artist titled “Becoming”. “BOYSHIT” is taken from Madison’s forthcoming debut album, Life Support, out 26th February 2021.

“’BOYSHIT’ is one of the last songs I recorded for my album, and it was just kind of a build up after this really long year.” says Madison. “It’s simply about knowing your worth and when to leave a situation. With the play on “bullshit” I figured it was the perfect time to use the age old saying about an immature or disrespectful boyfriend, ‘he’s not a man, he’s a boy,’ but it then flourished into more. This isn’t as simple as a childish man, it’s deeper than that. Anyone can behave in a “BOYSHIT” manner and I think there’s something to be said about knowing when enough is enough and when you’re truly just feeding into nonsense, I think a lot of that is knowing your worth. This song is meant to uplift and inspire people, of all genders, to know when it’s time to stop putting up with boyshit.”

“BOYSHIT” is the latest single from Madison’s highly anticipated debut album, Life Support, out 26th February 2021. The album is a strong personal and artistic statement that sees Madison where she thrives – commanding creative control through writing her own songs, producing and creating her own visuals. Life Support features previous releases “Good In Goodbye”, “Selfish”, “Stained Glass” and “Baby” which have a combined total stream count of over 442 million. Globally, Madison has nearly 3 billion streams across her catalogue.

“Writing songs is like therapy for me.” says Madison. “That’s why this album is called Life Support. It helped me get rid of the darkness and see the light. My inspirations sonically are really diverse. I guess I’m not an easy artist to pigeonhole, and a lot of these songs are like nothing I’ve ever attempted before. All of me is laid bare on this album; it’s been a really fulfilling experience to create something that feels so true to myself. I’m grateful to my fans who have stuck by me since the beginning. Life Support has been a long time coming, and I’m just so excited for them to see what I’ve been working on.”

Vevo has tapped Madison for their coveted LIFT campaign, out now. The 3-part series features a performance of “BOYSHIT” and “Selfish” alongside a short film titled “Becoming”. The campaign takes viewers further into the mind of the artist with striking visuals and gripping storytelling, and further cements Madison as an artist to watch for 2021. Vevo LIFT alumni include Billie Eilish, Halsey, Jorja Smith, and SZA.

Prior to signing with Epic Records late last year, Madison Beer achieved unprecedented success as an independent artist with her partner First Access Entertainment, having sold over 1 million records in the UK alone. Her debut EP As She Pleases made her the first independent female solo artist to break into the Top 20 radio charts, after having debuted in the Top 5 on iTunes in 18 countries and in the Top 10 in 42 countries worldwide. Following the release of As She Pleases Madison featured on Platinum Certified UK Top 10 hit “All Day and Night” by Europa and “Pop/Stars” by K/DA which topped Billboard’s world digital song sales chart. She’s attracted the endorsement of Time, NME, Complex, The Guardian, Billboard who named her among its coveted “21 Under 21” list and Rolling Stone who hailed her as a “rising pop star”.

WRENN – Hailey (Spotify)

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

“Waterfalls of the bitter, scalding tears are left invisible stains on your strong hands. Love and hate - all may be one. You can let me go, but I will love even at the edge of the universe. WRENN bring us into an emotional status with her heartwarming new song -Hailey-. Memorable! ”

“Водопады из горьких, обжигающих слёз оставляют невидимые пятна на твоих сильных руках. Любовь и ненависть - все едино. Ты можешь отпустить меня, но я буду любить даже на краю вселенной.”

-Nagamag.com

Trailblazing internet sensation WRENN has had a notable 2020 with viral success on TikTok, reaching 1.2M followers, and continues to make waves. Her newest uproar has come from WRENN using an audio clip of her ex admitting to cheating in the background of her newest single "Hailey." Talk about savage - but we're living for it. The TikTok video has 7 million views alone and shows no signs of slowing down while the single is currently charting at #9 on the Pop Charts.

WRENN reminds us that there's power in simplicity and a catchy chorus. In new single "Hailey" she reclaims her power, leaning into her own insecurities and putting all her feelings out there. (It also doesn't hurt to throw your cheating ex under the bus while you're at it.) "Out of everyone else, why'd it have to be Hailey," she croons in this low-key, indie-grunge pop track. Dealing with heartbreak is always tough, but blasting this track will definitely help.

"Ambient folk-rock with the same despondent heaviness as Portland artist Grouper and the vulnerability of London indie folk band Daughter." - The FADER

"Unapologetic emotion" - NYLON

"the 20-year-old Southern California native brings a grungy swagger with blaring feedback and pointed lyrics" - Billboard

"It will only be a matter of time until WRENN's extreme prowess for songwriting and performance makes her one of the leading ladies of indie rock." - Ones To Watch

"The tune evokes a 90s early grunge spirit that we all miss." - Ladygunn

Clearly, we're not the only ones feeling what WRENN's been putting out. This creative has been backed by numerous publications and just as many fans. Having previously received praise from tastemakers like The FADER, Ladygunn, NYLON, Billboard, Ones To Watch and many others, numerous placements on Spotify playlists including New Noise, Fierce Femmes, and All New Rock, this is is just the beginning. With sass, grit, and pure talent packed into her small frame, rousing firebrand artist WRENN is a force to be reckoned with.

WRENN now has over 86K Spotify followers, 47K Instagram followers, and over 1M TikTok followers who are loving her vulnerable honesty. The 22-year-old grew up surrounded by music and it's evident in her inherent knack for creating hits.

https://www.facebook.com/therealwrenn

WRENN is an alt-rock artist and a self-proclaimed “sad girl” who uses music as a means of communicating her feelings to the world. Mixing soulful, thoughtful lyrical content with 90’s-esque grunge instrumentation, the essence of WRENN’s music is both reminiscent of the past and a portal into the near future. The 20-year-old Los Angeles native has been featured on American Idol and The Voice, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (where she performed with fellow singer Rachel Platten). WRENN just finished her first nationwide tour – performing as a supporting act for headliner, viral music star, gnash; and even though she is at the beginning of her career, WRENN has already garnered Hollywood’s attention, having her music selected for the soundtrack of recent episodes of Ray Donovan and Lucifer. WRENN’s debut EP, goodmo(u)rning, is slated to be released later this year.

“Stef impessed us with this very special and playful mix. A pleasant "kick" full of colours that pass fast in the blink of an eye. You won't resist to listen again!”

-Nagamag.com

"Kickin all the pieces of my heart." is the second track off of the 5 song EP I have coming out in 2021, called "A Glitch in Our Virtual Reality." This concept EP contains songs that explore all of the stages that a relationship can consist of from infatuation, love, breakup, and loneliness. More specifically, the single 'Kickin all the pieces of my heart" represents the stage during a relationship where the couple is still technically “together” but they start to lose feelings and they ultimately take a turn towards the downside and treat each other in a negative manner. This song has a very ethereal vibe while mixing in heavy bass and trap elements closely related to Kanye West’s style. This song will take you on a full sonic journey as the sounds stray on the experimental side.

stef is still new on the pop scene. She resides in Nashville, TN, where she remains surrounded by a musical community pushing pop forward.

At age 19 she released her debut EP, “Why do I Laugh When I Cry?” released in September of 2019, and found immediate success, with accompanying sold-out shows and songs appearing on Spotify’s editorial playlists. The EP was followed by a single “whyamilikethis,” released in November 2019. The beginning of 2020 she was featured on a DJ track, as well as released a mixtape. She is currently gearing up for her next releases: three singles followed by a concept EP titled “A Glitch in Our Virtual Reality.”

She thinks the new wave is the best yet. Stef’s ambitious first projects are a collision of indie songwriting mixed with innovative pop production. She’s a new generation of artist, ahead of her time, who leaves no detail up to chance. Her album artwork, visuals, music videos, and live production are all intentionally curated to pair with and enhance her songs.

Stardust – Essy (Video)

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

“You dissolved sparkling glitter of tears on my tired eyes, like shooting stars in the dark, we are consumed with the first rays of the rising sun. An abundant sweet vocal performance by Essy!”

“Ты растворялся сияющими блёстками слёз на моих уставших глазах, словно падающие звёзды в темноте мы исчезаем с первыми лучами восходящего солнца.”

-Nagamag.com

ESSY returns with her fourth single of 2020 in “Stardust”. The lyrical genius we have come to know and love from ESSY is once again present, this time discussing finding peace in the uncertainty that can come between two lovers or a story the never completes.

http://bit.ly/TNTIOEPK

While her EDM background is still apparent in her four-on-the-floor drum arrangements and side-chained synth grooves, Essy’s beats are offset by clean, simplistic vocals and introspective storytelling that give her sound an effortless, organic quality. She thrives in a self-proclaimed “happy-sad” mode, with hard-hitting lyrics to make you cry and synthpop beats to make you dance while you’re doing it.

QUOTE

“The song is a story of two lovers that ended too soon – a story without an ending. For me, it’s about finding peace in the uncertainty. And it applies beyond just a romantic relationship. We have very little control over most things in life, but in that uncertainty, we find hope and faith and parts of ourselves we never knew possible.”

ESSY

BIOGRAPHY

https://www.instagram.com/essysounds/

Influenced by her father’s love of music, Essy (born Rachel Braig) taught herself to play the piano and began writing her own songs at eleven years old. Her original compositions and passion for performing secured her acceptance into early songwriting programs at both Berklee College of Music and New York University’s Steinhardt School. During her residencies, she cut her teeth writing with industry veterans Barry Eastmond (Aretha Franklin, Whitney Houston) and Maia Sharpe (Carole King, The Dixie Chicks), as well as pop songwriter Michael Pollack (Lauv, Celine Dion), and artist Sasha Sloan.

Fate interceded when a piano ballad she composed out of her dormitory apartment caught the attention of Atlantic electronic duo Ship Wrek. Essy’s first cut with NCS Records’ Star Party soon followed, and early graduation prompted a move to Nashville to begin songwriting full-time alongside some of pop’s most promising penners, including Johnluke Lewis (LANY), Jintae Ko (OneRepublic), Paris Carney (Adam Lambert), Mike Pappas (Meghan Trainor), and Hunter Hayes.

NEW YORK, NY (December 4, 2020) – International phenomenon DJ Shaan releases a new single entitled “By Heart” with Londin Thompson today. Get it HERE via Casablanca Records.

The history-making Indian producer, artist, and DJ recruited buzzing Cleveland-born singer and songwriter Londin Thompson to deliver an instantly infectious anthem, blurring the lines between electronic dance music and pop. Finger-snaps, airy keys, and shimmering synths glow beneath her fluttering hook, “Oh we’ve come so far, I know you by heart.”

About the single, DJ Shaan commented, “By Heart is a song by my heart. A song that resonates with me when I met the woman who showed me everything that love is about, then unfortunately separated and now far away. Always knowing the person inside and out, as they say By Heart ‘even in the dark I know you by heart’.”

DJ Shaan made his North American debut earlier this year with “Paradise” [feat. SAKIMA]. It established him worldwide as a buzzing presence in dance music, receiving radio support from BPM, BBC Radio, and more. As well as backing from dance media champions Dancing Astronaut, YourEDM, and MixMag who spotlighted DJ Shaan in a special documentary series, Global Dancefloor.

ABOUT DJ SHAAN

Vaulting to the forefront of electronic dance music and representing Indian culture worldwide, 25-year-old DJ Shaan has made history, generated millions of streams, and ignited the hottest festivals in the world with stunning regularity. Among numerous accolades, he notably became “the first Indian DJ to grace the bill of Tomorrowland,” “the most-played Indian dance music artist on the radio in the USA,” “India’s most-followed DJ,” and “the first Indian artist signed to Casablanca Records.” Given this track record, he unsurprisingly kicked off his career with a star-making set at Sunburn Festival in Goa. Just 15-years-old at the time, he would be “the youngest person to play the festival.” Over the past decade, he ascended to global prominence, performing alongside titans, including Armin Van Buuren, Hardwell, Swedish House Mafia, Afrojack, and the late Avicii. A sought-after talent, he has also officially remixed superstars such as Steve Aoki, Louis Tomlinson, Sandra Silva, Lost Kings, Naughty Boy, and Calum Scott, to name a few. Moreover his solo catalog comprises “Light Up The World” [feat. Lauren Evans], “Must Be Love,” and more.

In 2020, DJ Shaan kicks off what promises to be his biggest, boldest, and best chapter yet. His debut single for Casablanca Records, “Paradise,” fuses a big room chant, propulsive grooves, and high-energy synths as a hypnotic hook takes hold.

ABOUT LONDIN THOMPSON

Each lyric brings you a little closer to Londin Thompson. Candid confessions, off-the-cuff observations, and delicate details depict her life without posturing or pretense. For as unassumingly personal as the approach may be, her voice seamlessly stretches from gentle intonation into irresistible hooks. After independently generating millions of streams, her Republic Records debut tells a real and relatable story. Under her birth name Julia Thompson, the self-described “girl from Cleveland” stirred up a buzz independently with the single “Hits.” On its heels, “Spark” captured coveted real estate on playlists such as Spotify’s Fresh Finds [713K followers] and Fresh Finds: Pop [86K followers]. Meanwhile, “Nights” graced New Music Friday [3.6 million followers]. As she cultivated a following, she also garnered airplay on MTV. This summer, she made her debut with “Wish It Would Rain.” Not only did the song generate nearly half-a-million total streams, but it also drew tastemaker praise. Cleveland.com described her as “a pop music hybrid whose voice and sound can range from the melancholy whisper of Billie Eilish to the soulful power of Alessia Cara.” Billboard touted “Wish It Would Rain” as one of “10 Cool New Pop Songs To Get You Through The Week” and called it “a detailed bit of acoustic-pop that showcases the newcomer’s gentle yet commanding vocal delivery.” Londin welcomes you right into her heart with every song.
