Yana – Don’t Want Your Love
(Spotify)

“Influenced by her post-breakup feelings, the talented "Yana" sings with bold sentimental mood and cannot leave you unaffected. Also the quality Lo-fi Pop background of sounds perfectly matches with the lyrics and create a hooking effect.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"I wrote "Don't Want Your Love" after the end of an unfulfilling relationship I had at 20. I shared the idea with Instagram, uploading a video of myself playing the song on piano in my bedroom. To my surprise, tons of people related to it and asked for the full song. I recorded it with producers Franco Reid and Jon Joseph later that year in Los Angeles. "

Born in Varna, Bulgaria and raised in Long Beach, California, 23 year-old Yana captures the intimacy of poignant pop lyricism and ear-wormy melody to create the dream-pop of tomorrow with her smooth and sultry vocal tone. After emigrating with her family from a post-socialist Slavic Europe and finding refuge in the United States, Yana fell in love with the creative freedom that music provided and dedicated the majority of her growing years to developing her sonic style. In early 2019, she teamed up writer/producer Franco Reid to begin writing her EP “Hindsight.” The newest single from the project, “Don’t Want Your Love” describes the unfulfilling end of a relationship, the kind that leaves you only with questions. Yana is able to encapsulate the feeling of post-breakup confusion and yearning with a hooking melody you won’t be able to forget.

WITH HER BOLD NEW BREAK-UP TUNE, EMILY CLAIR ASKS NEWLY-SINGLE WOMEN TO “KISS STRANGERS” AND LEAVE YESTERDAY’S HEARTBREAK BEHIND

Canadian country artist Emily Clair is celebrating the release of her new single, “Kiss Strangers” – now available on all digital streaming platforms. The first single to be released from her first full-length album, “Stealing Hearts”, “Kiss Strangers” will be released to Canadian country radio on March 18th.

“Kiss Strangers” was co-written by Emily Clair along with Bobbi Smith – of Canadian country trio The Heels – and seasoned songwriter David Borys (Wes Mack, Kadooh).

Speaking about “Kiss Strangers”, Emily Clair says, "In country music, women are often presented as dwelling on past relationships by drowning in a box of ice cream or a bottle of wine. I wanted to break away from that perception and offer a fresh take on the post-relationship mindset. With Bobbi and David, wrote a sassy and empowering break-up anthem for all the strong, single women out there who want to let go of yesterday's heartbreak. Starting over doesn’t have to be so sad. The thrill of indulging in new adventures can also be fun and liberating."

Produced by Emily Clair's frequent collaborator, CMAO-nominated Shawn Moore, “Kiss Strangers” builds on Emily's country music foundation, but adds a more upbeat, pop-influenced flair that matches the adventurous theme and energy of the song.

The release of “Kiss Strangers” follows the artist’s well-received debut live-off-the-floor EP “Stripped” in 2021, along with five consecutive Top 40 singles on CBC Country/Sirius XM in Canada – the most recent ones being her 2021 efforts, “Drive Me Home” and “Limousine”. Two of the other Top 40 singles (“The Sobering Truth” and “Me or the Whiskey”) also made the semi-finals of the Unsigned Only Music Competition.

For Emily Clair – who grew up in Ajax, Ontario but is now based in Greater Napanee – the bold artistry behind “Kiss Strangers” is poised to usher in a new chapter for her, as the first single from her debut album, “Stealing Hearts”, which is in the early recording stages. Known primarily for her heartfelt ballads, “Kiss Strangers” shows more diversity, and the rest of the album promises to showcase more artistic depth and creative risks from her as an artist. In the meantime, Emily Clair wants the women who connect with “Kiss Strangers” to feel understood and uplifted after listening to her new single.

She says, “You don't have to be that girl who is grieving over heartache. We’ve all been there before. If your ex can move on, you have the strength to move on, too."

“Kiss Strangers” is now available on all streaming platforms. It will be followed by a Canadian country radio release on March 18th and an official music video release in the weeks ahead.

Nadia Kamrath – Seven Steps Behind You

Estella dawn – Buzzcut
(Spotify)

“Estella dawn delivers a strong vocal range on this track acompanied by a tight guitar and sharp drums. A great choir backs it all up and the latin grooves and tempo, make u wanna dance all night ”

-Nagamag.com

“Chameleon daters” are people who change their appearance, style, musical taste, and even eating habits to mirror each new romantic partner. Estella Dawn, a constant observer, puts this theorem to good use in her most recent single “Buzzcut”.

“I think as a women, we tend to do this more than men - we are conditioned to believe we have to shrink, re-adjust and mold ourselves to satiate the male gaze. ”There are so many products telling us how we should look, feel and smell, and countless more movies and shows telling us how we should act and behave. In our quest to find this perfect partner I think we can often end up compromising a lot of what makes us unique and special.

I wanted to flip that narrative on its head with “Buzzcut”. This song is about holding your shape when embarking on a new relationship, an encouragement to “stay true to your own authentic flare.” To have someone be so enthralled with you that they would adjust themselves to better suit what they thought you wanted.

“Buzzcut” is also the first single release from her highly anticipated full length album due out later this year. Having already released 17 singles since 2020 this album is the next step up, blending a cohesive mix of live musical arrangements, pop sensibilities and Estella’s relatable, mature lyrics and Impressive vocal skills. Imagine SIA and Taylor Swift on a writing and recording retreat. There will be a steady release of singles from the album to wet your pallet and keep you anticipating what’s next.

Saults – Givin Up
(Video)

“When you feel trapped in a toxic relationship and have unsuccessfully tried to improve things, you may have to give up. This is the story of “Saults” as it unfolds in Indie Pop mood and surely independent spirit! Fast, groovy and dancing result guaranteed.”

-Nagamag.com

Taking its lead from their previous single; “Stuck In Old Fantasy”, Saults latest banger, “Givin Up” comes to you via German Indie powerhouse Swutch Music, the home of some of the most exciting up-and-coming electronic music in 2022.

With Jack Wilson from Fickle Friends once again in the producer’s chair, there’s a slickness that is both palpable and fresh. “Givin Up” delivers on every level be that musically, vocally, or just straight-up bop-ability. This is one song that will lead us all into the summer we desperately need (or at least until Saults release their next smash).

Quote : “What Givin’ Up on Me wants to express is that sort of relationship we’ve all been in, when you try everything to make it work but it keeps falling into pieces no matter what. So there’s only one way to break the cycle of failure: tell your partner to leave you, to set you free, because you can’t do it by yourself.”
