The track had an unlikely birth. du0 tells the story: “The three of us were among nine musicians invited to attend AMPLIFY, QMusic’s Songwriting Retreat at Heliport Studios in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Queensland, Australia. It was amazing and incredibly hectic. We were rotated in groups of three and had to come up with a song from scratch, and produce and record it in 4 hours. We did this five times in three days.”
The result, Come Home, has had 1,107,000 streams on Spotify, but little radio play so far. And now the acoustic video is going off on YouTube. There may be something in this, we don’t know. Hopefully you can help us find out what it is.

“A new surprice from Emina Sonnad is here. Sophisticated piano-driven song with the singer’s sensual voice echoing elusively in your head! Regardless your music preferences, “Aperol” worths the listening.”
-Nagamag.com
Aperol is a tribute to being unapologetically yourself even when your world is falling apart. I wrote this song while feeling very abandoned at the beginning of the pandemic. I was going through a rough breakup and had unexpectedly ended up quarantining alone in a foreign country, which gave me a lot of time to think about what it means to love someone, and what it means to stand your ground in the face of heartbreak. I remember walking home from the grocery store one night and being stopped by a couple who had spotted a line of strange lights in the sky. It was surreal, just standing there with two strangers and staring up at the sky in silence, wondering if the world was about to end and realizing it wouldn’t surprise me at all. The guy had his arms wrapped around his girlfriend as if he wanted to be as close to her as possible, just in case. Turns it was only some satellites, but in that moment it hit me, “yes, I deserve to be with someone who would stay by my side for the end of the world.” I think having this sense of self advocacy makes it easier to embrace the absurdity of your pain when things get bad. It’s kind of like looking in the mirror and saying “I see you, and you are absolutely ridiculous, but I love you anyway.”

Emina Sonnad is an American singer-songwriter who stumbled upon her musical identity after unexpectedly losing her job teaching English in Madrid. In an effort to find her place in an unfamiliar city, she attended her first open stage night at Sala Alive. Her soft, melancholic voice cut through the chaos of the bar, captivating the crowd, and she was quickly swept away by the vibrancy of the Spanish music scene. Mentored by a tight-knit community of indie musicians, Emina spent the year songwriting, performing in small venues and recording her first single, “Pretending to See Stars,” a dark, introspective ballad self released in 2018. The song’s distinctively wistful vocals caught the attention of Germany’s emerging deep house artist Pretty Pink, who invited Emina to co-write and feature on her next project. The resulting collaboration, “Overrated” was released through Found Frequencies and streamed by millions, bringing Emina to Berlin with a newly acquired taste for electronic music and an unapologetic desire to grow as an artist. Splitting her time between writing techno toplines, hosting open-mic nights in Berlin’s trendy Space Meduza Bar, and releasing an acoustic EP with folk-pop project Half a Disaster, Emina gained a small but dedicated local fanbase, whose support encouraged her to spend the entirety of the 2020 lockdown creating something more personal. Teaming up with Berlin producer Edgar Möller, she recorded six of her original songs, culminating in a record deal with UK based label At Swim Music. Emina’s upcoming releases invite listeners to pause and take comfort in the bleakness, the beauty and the absurdity of everyday life.

“"Singer, composer, producer and performer; it's all ELUNIA.
Her single Borderlines delves into the depths of the visual and auditory textures of her subconscious. Lyrics vibrating in my chest, a cloud of melody and unearthly beauty of vocals. ELUNIA is an impression you dare not pause. "”
“Певица, композитор, продюсер и исполнитель; всё это она - ELUNIA.
Её сингл Borderlines погружает в глубины визуальные и слуховые текстуры её подсознания. Вибрирующая в груди лирика, облако мелодии и неземной красоты вокал. ELUNIA - впечатление, которое вы не посмеете поставить на паузу.”
-Nagamag.com
ELUNIA’s breakout song "Borderlines" and her visual for the track should be on your radar. The singer-songwriter-producer will release the high concept clip Thursday, February 18th. The video will feature the essence of ELUNIA’s personal battle with her self-expression.
The self-made video for the New Hampshire native’s lush track "Borderlines" evokes the artist's inner turmoil of being torn between two halves of her personality, resulting in a stylish representation of the core of the song. Her battle with identity is on full display as the protagonist paints an array of multicolor strokes across her face while ELUNIA sings “I'm alive but I don't fit into reality.” ELUNIA’s knack for storytelling shines through her ability to connect her soaring, incisive lyrics to the duality of her performative and real self.
ELUNIA collaborated with multi-million streamed producer JMAC (Haux, Luz) to create “Borderlines".

Sivilian’s love for storytelling resonates throughout his recent foray onto the international music scene. His melancholic vocals weave secret messages across an elaborate soundscape of synths and samples.
The single «Invisible to Automatic Doors» marked his debut on the international music scene. Usually writing his songs on an acoustic guitar, he initially struggled to bring his latest pop vision to paper. It was an impromptu phone recording of automatically closing doors in the Budapest metro that finally brought him the breakthrough. Used as a sample throughout the track, these subway doors ended up setting the musical foundation.

“Singer and songwriter Brandon Calano, who writes and performs under the pseudonym of Becoming Young, combines the best of modern pop music and our beloved folk. After listening remains both easy and exciting feeling of freedom and unity!”
“Певец и автор песен Brandon Calano, который пишет и выступает под псевдонимом Becoming Young, сочетает в себе лучшее из современной поп-музыки и любимого нами фолка. После прослушивания остаётся одновременно лёгкое и захватывающее чувство свободы и единства!”
-Nagamag.com
Is a connection ever purely physical? Becoming Young’s Brandon Calano finds out the answer the hard way on his invigorating new pop single, “No Strings Attached.”
It started simple enough: in the backseat of a friend’s car Brandon kissed a mysteriously exotic girl. The two met at a party earlier that night but didn’t hit off until they were under a magnificent, crisp Colorado summer sky, nestled in a friend’s car. It was a buzzed romance—blurry, exciting, and impulsive.
How do you follow an evening like this? The short answer is you go on another date, and then you get disappointed that the connection isn’t real, and then you move on. When the connection is real, however, complications arise. Brandon came home from said proper date euphoric and subsequently wrote the single “Reverie.” This alluring new woman called him the next day, and matter-of-factly stated: “I was just calling to make sure you’re not falling in love with me, ‘cause I can’t do that right now.” Turns out that carefree kiss wasn’t so carefree.
“When I wrote ‘No Strings Attached,’ it was mainly about lust. I had no idea I would fall for her to the extent I did,” Brandon recalls. “Looking back, it’s astonishing how much I’ve developed as a person since writing this song.”
“No Strings Attached” is almost a breezy pop gem, replete with acoustic guitars, washes of ambient textures, heavenly harmony vocals, and lead vocals that undulate between urban-pop rhythmic flow and soulful melodicism. The tune’s slick bounce—a signature touch courtesy of Sony/BMG producer Austin Shawn—lends it an urban strut. Another powerful dynamic touch is the contrast between the detached cool verses and the explosively hooky choruses that recall smashes by pop artists such as Troye Sivan and Glass Animals.
Thematically, “No Strings Attached” is partially a flippant response to the initial phone call. In the pre-chorus, Brandon sings: ‘Cause there's a couple Colorado girls I love/Couple of east-coast honeys I want/And this LA babe that keeps me up/I know it's trouble, but I just love the rush/So baby don't call my bluff, ‘cause I don't need your love. This is all playful posturing, of course, bordering on denial, and the push/pull of the verses and choruses foreshadows reality bursting out. The truth is, Brandon is soon to be attached, heartstrings and all.

“Kenyan producer Eric Ananda, in collaboration with Agnelo Do Rego and MAC, acquaint us with his new creation My Type. An excellent example of a commercial sound and producing competent when each sound element in place.”
“Кенийский продюсер Eric Ananda, в соавторстве с Agnelo Do Rego и MAC, знакомят нас со своим новым творением My Type. Отличный пример коммерческого звучания и грамотного продюсирования, когда каждый звуковой элемент на своём месте. ”
-Nagamag.com
My Type is the first single from my upcoming project. We wrote the song about when someone catches your eye and you sense a connection “a vibe” and you try to get their attention but it’s like you don’t exist to them at all, so you try again hoping the second time round they might. We also felt it was the right time to release the song as Valentines day is around the corner and hopefully the song could inspire someone to ask someone to be their Valentine.
