Olivia Rose – Gold (Spotify)

“Classical singer of country music Olivia Rose again pleases us in his inimitable, powerful vocals and expressive text in her new song Gold.”

“Классическая исполнительница кантри-музыки Olivia Rose вновь радует нас своим неподражаемым, сильным вокалом и выразительным текстом в своей новой песне Gold. ”

WITH HER UPBEAT NEW COUNTRY-POP SINGLE “GOLD”, OLIVIA ROSE GLITTERS OVER LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Canadian country artist Olivia Rose is excited to share her new single, “Gold” – which is now available on all digital platforms. It will be released to Canadian country radio on March 15th.

Co-written by Olivia Rose and David Borys (Wes Mack, Kadooh) and brought to life by Juno and CCMA award-winning producer Bart McKay, “Gold” is the first new music for Olivia Rose since 2019’s single, “Put It Like That”, which has earned almost 120,000 Spotify streams to date and was added to regular rotation on CBC Country (Sirius XM).

In speaking about the new track, Olivia Rose says, “I’m not going to lie – my own dating history has led me to write my fair share of sad break-up songs. With David, we went in the opposite direction by starting at the beginning of a relationship instead of at the end, and we came out of it with something happy and upbeat.”

Far from a lavish sonic exploration of a high-rolling romantic adventure, the heart of Olivia Rose’s lyrics is really a nod to the “solid gold” connection that one can form with a true best friend and partner.

She says, “I want people to sing this at the top of their lungs in the car with the windows down. Having that perfect match in your life is such a rush and I wanted to capture and celebrate the spirit of that feeling in the lyrics and flow of the song.”

“Gold” is just the latest highlight for the Elk Point, Alberta-born artist, who got one of her first big breaks at age 14 when Canadian country legend George Canyon invited her on stage after an intermission set to perform her debut single. Since that formative moment, she has developed her artistry through a series of enriching experiences. A two-time Edmonton Music Award-winner for Rising Star, Rose participated as a Top 12 Finalist in Alberta’s prestigious Project WILD in 2018 and attended Canada’s Music Incubator in Toronto on a full Bell Media Prize scholarship in 2019.

As she enjoys the single release of “Gold”, she is currently nominated for Rising Star again – this time as part of the 10th Annual Country Music Alberta Awards – which will take place February 28th on YouTube.

Olivia Rose will support “Gold” with an animated lyric video – created by NotYourDesigner – leading up to the Canadian country radio release of the single on March 15th. From there, she will head back to the studio this year to create her first full-length record.

“Gold” is available now across all digital platforms.

"GOLD" LYRICS
(Olivia Rose, David Borys)

VERSE 1

Boy you, give me, one hell of a fever
There’s more to see than just this little teaser
You’re stuck in my mind, you run through my veins
What’s it gonna take to stake my claim
I know you’re the real thing

CHORUS

You are gold baby
Solid gold baby
Soft to the touch, I’m lost in your rush, I can’t stop diggin’ for your love
If you hold me, I’ll go crazy
For that 24 karat kiss, make me the richest girl you know
Cause you’re gold

VERSE 2

I kept finding all the fools and fakers
Bright and shiny, hiding a heart breaker
But you're 100%, the absolute best
One ounce of you is worth all the rest
I ain’t gonna let you go

CHORUS

Cuz you are gold baby
Solid gold baby
Soft to the touch, I’m lost in your rush, I can’t stop diggin’ for your love
If you hold me, well I’ll go crazy
For that 24 karat kiss, make me the richest girl you know
Cause you’re gold

BRIDGE

You’re solid gold to me
You’ve got a hold on me
You’re solid gold to me
To me, to me

CHORUS

You are gold baby
Solid gold baby
Soft to the touch, I’m lost in your rush, I can’t stop diggin’ for your love
If you hold me, well I’ll go crazy
For that 24 karat kiss, make me the richest girl you know
Cause you’re gold, ohhh
Gold, you’re gold

Sam Newton – Ground Me (Video)

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

“Ground Me is a pleasant and so charming, acoustic melancholy into which you dive headlong, as if into the abyss of a blue ocean. And you drown in it and sink to the very bottom of it. Elegy of feelings and events.”

“Ground Me – приятная и такая очаровательная, акустическая меланхолия, в которую ныряешь с головой, словно в бездну синего океана. И тонешь в нём и опускаешься на самое дно его. Элегия чувств и событий.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared about this song:

” This is a true story about a pivotal moment in my life. When I was 4 years old, my Dad and I build a rocket from old cardboard boxes and tape. I sat in it cross-legged on the floor and put on my Dad’s huge headphones. He dropped the vinyl of the “2001: A Space Odyssey” soundtrack – this was the first time I’d heard music on headphones – amazing…it blew me away!! I shut my eyes and was transported to another world! I believe that was the moment I decided I wanted to be a composer…that feeling of wonder and passion has never left me. “

Aidan u0026 the Wild – Running (Video)

“Defeatably, how vile and careless music becomes. If you do not know the words of Aidan & the Wild and do not listen to the song Running until that day, close this page, try to find it and enjoy it for a second.”

“Поразительно, как порою легка и беззаботна бывает музыка. Если вы ещё не знакомы с Aidan & the Wild и до этого дня не слышали песню Running, то закрывайте эту страницу, устраивайтесь по уютнее и наслаждайтесь каждой секундой.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with us few words about this song:

Running is the first single of of my debut album “Revelation Never Came”, that releases October 8th 2021. The album (and this song) was recorded during the lock-down period of mid 2020, during which I took it upon myself to do the production and play all instruments except drums and bass on the record.

I wrote this song last March at the start of this crisis. At that point it still partly felt surreal and I couldn’t help but think about the weirdness of this world. Change came so suddenly and there was nothing to do about it.

After a bit of lockdown I started feeling a bit sore because of lack of activity, so I decided to buy these sneakers and start running in the morning. *Note that I previously regarded sports as not for me, since I’d prefer to spend that time making music*. This song has become a discription of that first run after six years of no real exercise, and the rapidly changing world that forced this event.

Taking a cue from heroes such as Ben Howard, John Butler, John Smith and the Tallest Man On Earth and a profound love for ancient myths and stories about lost times come together in the distinct sound of Aidan & the Wild’s music.

Aidan, a.k.a. Diederik van den Brandt, takes his listeners away on a musical journey through his interpretation of folk and americana music. Spending most of his days practicing his instruments results in a singer-songwriter who clearly knows his way around the guitar. Open-tuning finger picking alternated with slide and percussive style techniques produce a saturated and captivating sound. The big blueprint of his songwriting is folk music, but within the spectrum all corners are explored. From groovy americana and uplifting songs about Jesus to enchanting melodies that transport the listener to another world, from personal stories about love to epic works about myths and dragons. Combined with his raw and honest voice and occasional foot percussion he delivers a one-man show that keeps captivating every second along the way as well as an energetic and enchanting performance backed up by his band.

Henriette – Never Go Back (Spotify)

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

“Never Go Back performed by the magnificent Henriette - a journey to the amazing land of her dreams. A very cheerful song that lifts everyone who is lost in the abyss of the problems surrounding him from his knees.”

“Never Go Back в исполнение великолепной Henriette - путешествие в удивительную страну её грёз. Весьма жизнерадостная песня, которая поднимает с колен каждого, кто потерялся в пучине окруживших его проблем.”

-Nagamag.com

One of the greatest moments we all know, is the very first kiss with a person you love.

So it doesn’t come as a surprise how many songs dedicate themselves to this

„once in a relationship experience“.

But there’s something even more special, something that deserves a lot more attention- and that’s the moment right BEFORE the very first kiss.

The moment when seconds turn into hours, make us fall and fly at the same time, our world is spinning faster but also standing completely still.

Butterflies, rainbows, fireworks, angels choirs, dry lips, shaking hands, high pulse- it’s all there.

A crackling tension lies in the air- a tension that, sometimes, we can not handle.

So we rush trough it, skip the spark and go straight to the fire, pass over the uniqueness this moment holds.

With „Never go back“ HENRIETTE invites us to dive deep into the joy of anticipation,

to „slow down and take it in cause we’ll never be here again“.

Don’t push forward, cause there is no rewind.

HENRIETTE lights up the dark season with three new emotional Country Pop singles

With her Country Pop, which can be quiet as a breeze and fiery as the sun, HENRIETTE managed to make a mark directly in the scene. After her debut single “Dream Boy” went on rotation in countless countries on three continents, the vocalist up the ante with her singles “Lighthouse” and “Crash Like This” and finally made a more than successful start with her self-titled debut EP. Music Row magazine described HENRIETTE’s music as «a trip to a beautiful country» and even the famous British Maverick magazine called her EP «a promising debut» and nominated “Dream Boy” as one of the top 12 songs of the summer. Now, in the middle of the global pandemic, which she experiences as a creatively enriching time against all odds, the Berliner-by-choice announces her three new singles “Remember That”, “Never Go Back” and “Masterpiece”, which will be released this winter, just like the debut, via Dr. Music Records.

Numerous new songs have been written in the past months, some of them in video sessions across the ocean with songwriters from Nashville, but many of them also all alone, in an intimate lockdown atmosphere in her loft in Berlin. HENRIETTE does what she’s best at, music. Telling stories, reminisce, put the heard on paper and turn it into songs she hopes will touch and enrich others. This way, she continues to pave her way despite all the changes. The picture that the musician painted with her debut EP has now become noticeably more mature, more colorful and emotionally more courageous. The new songs expand the musical range, show previously undiscovered facets, dive deeper into her soul and take the listener on a journey into the American vastness, only to finally settle down again in his own heart. At the beginning of the Christmas season, on December 2nd, 2020, HENRIETTE starts her new cycle with the acoustic single “Remember That”, probably her most personal song so far. The emotionally melancholic homage is dedicated to her late father, who passed away on Christmas 2017. His musical affinity inspired the vocalist since childhood and ultimately led her to study music in Leipzig. The second single is about one of the greatest moments we all know, the very first kiss with someone you fell in love with. But there’s one more thing that deserves a lot more attention, and that’s the moment right before the very first kiss. Seconds seem like hours, in which the emotions are on a rollercoaster and in which the world seems to stand still. Butterflies, rainbows, fireworks, angelic choirs, high pulse, trembling hands, it’s all there. A crackling tension lies in the air. But we often can’t endure it, can’t withstand the intense gaze and we rush through this feeling and miss this special moment. With “Never Go Back” HENRIETTE invites us to dive deep into this joy of anticipation, to enjoy the moment and consciously perceive it, because it is unique and will never return in this form. If there’s one song that represents how much the singer has musically grown during the last year, it is definitely “Masterpiece”. Inspired by a bullying experience, it is both a confession of love to herself as well as a deep insight into the emotional path she has taken so far. The lyrics are honest and warm-hearted, the music sounds pure with a near majestic touch, the feeling is like a journey to the center of her emotions. Just because someone carries sunshine on his face doesn’t mean that he has never seen the rain. On the contrary, many brushstrokes have to be painted before a masterpiece can be created.

HENRIETTE managed to attract attention in a pretty short time with her cheerful, honest character and especially her great voice and not only to breathe new life into the Country scene as well as to gain new fans. With the new singles “Remember That”, “Never Go Back” and “Masterpiece”, she now provides new momentum and shows that really great atmospheric Country Pop can bring a happy smile to your face, even in the biggest crisis.

Haven’t We All Been – Mandy McMillan {Official Music Video} (Video)

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

“With a carefully craft in the mix/production level and fine sound assets of drums and guitar lines, Mandy McMillan levels up this blend with her heartwarming and profoundly impactful lyrics into an elegant song.”

-Nagamag.com

Canadian country-pop artist Mandy McMillan has released her emotional new single, “Haven’t We All Been” – which is now available on all digital platforms.

Co-written by McMillan and Chris Roberts, “Haven’t We All Been” was produced in Nashville by Simon Gugala. It was influenced primarily by the styles and sounds of Sheryl Crow, Tom Petty, and John Mayer to create a song that intersects between alt-country and classic rock but is fueled by cathartic energy.

“The inspiration for this song came from my own path to self-love during a very trying time in my life. Creating ‘Haven’t We All Been’ was a healing exercise that helped to keep me grounded. It taught me to not be ashamed of any situation I have been in. Instead, I can transform the pain into a means of learning, growing, and – ultimately – living,” says McMillan.

“Reflective hopefulness” is how McMillan describes the lasting impact of the song that she wants her listeners to feel from it.

McMillan says, “I want people know that it is okay to be real and be open about their vulnerability. Every experience becomes a story, and these unique stories and struggles that make us who we are. The greatest gift that we can offer is to share our stories and find a connection – not through our common adversities, but from the helping others to find light through the darkness. With this song, I want to share understanding and compassion for others on a hopeful path to better days.”

The Edmonton-born McMillan’s own journey sent her from the small town of Stony Plain, Alberta to Nashville after she won a Country Music Television Canada Contest in 2008. High points like opening for Trisha Yearwood and Blake Shelton, releasing her 2014 self-titled EP, and making the Top 10 of ole’s “Play for Publisher” have been mixed with lower points of personal struggles and self-reflection. McMillan has ultimately made peace with herself through self-love, spirituality, trust in the universe, and let it shine through with a diverse offering of new music for others to form their own connections with.

“Haven’t We All Been” follows McMillan’s summer release, “Dream Catcher”, and is the newest single to be released from her upcoming album – also called “Dream Catcher” – due in 2021.

She will support “Haven’t We All Been” with a music video in November and a special alliance with Be Free Yoga – a Spruce Grove, Alberta foundation that emphasizes yoga and meditation as a means of healing for those faced with mental health challenges.

“Haven’t We All Been” is available now on all streaming platforms.

HAVEN’T WE ALL BEEN (LYRICS)

Haven’t we all been
Drinking in the same bars
And haven’t we all been
Hiding the same old scars

We’re singing the same songs
About love gone wrong
Getting by getting high
Letting go of yesterday

Haven’t we all been here at least a time or two
Wiping away these tears we’re drinking away our blues
Falling in love and breaking up
Over and over again
Haven’t we all been

I’ve got a friend who
Is getting married next week
And i got another one getting alimony

I’ve had a heartbreak
Pulled close then pushed away
I’ve learned to fly i’ve learned ro cry
Aren’t we all doing the same dang thing

Haven’t we all been here at least a time or two
Wiping away these tears we’re drinking away our blues
Falling in love and breaking up
Over and over again
Haven’t we all been

A little lost along the way
A little up a little down
A little scared to leave the same small towns
A little whiskey kills the pain

But in the end we’re all ok
Tomorrows another day but for now

Haven’t we all been here at least a time or two
Wiping away these tears we’re drinking away our blues
Falling in love and breaking up
Over and over again
Haven’t we all been
Haven’t we all been
