“Contemplative and soulful vocals by -Katherine Evans- on her new song -Make You Mine- tight together with a soaring entrancing bottome groove and melodic line. ”

LA-based songwriter Katherine Evans has a passion for dark, emotional pop. Using chillingly confessional lyrics and infectious melodies, she glamorizes the messiness of being in your early 20s; disguising her introspective tone in catchy choruses and dreamy soundscapes. Ranging from stoically cynical to recklessly dreamy, Katherine evokes a plethora of emotions in her songs—each one a different side of her. Her most recent release, Make You Mine, is a bittersweet anthem about being in a toxic relationship.

RUNAE – Let the Werewolf Out (Spotify)

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

“With a deep dark electronic sound and a distinct delicate voice this synthpop single from a new entrant artist is a highly related song given the fact it correlates with the need of people to let their mind go while they freely dance during this restrictant period”

-Nagamag.com

Let The Werewolf Out is a song about letting loose, being crazy and letting go of all frustrations. We sometimes find it easier to act like this when we are in a disguise- like at Halloween. This is why I see the the upcoming occasion of Halloween as a perfect time to let the Werewolf out dancing in the streets! For a long time I have imagined this picture inside my head of a large group of people dancing closely together in the streets to celebrate that we have won the battle against corona! Hopefully this will happen one day, and until then I hope you will dance to my song at home, inside your head, or whereever else it's possible, and just let go of whatever you need to let go of.

I write songs about duality and the hidden, and I am inspired by the cycles of nature, and how they affect the ever-changing minds of people. My artist name RUNAE also bares this double meaning. It stems from the Nordic name, Runa, which means "to flow" and secret love", and I like to see this as a symbol of the flow of nature and all the hidden stories and secrets we all carry within- two elements that affect human beings from the outside and the inside.

Of Monsters & Men – Visitor (Muna Remix) [Official Audio] (Video)

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

“-Muna- please us with his sound vision on -Of Monsters & Men- Visitor track, released on Republic Records. Keeping the identity of the original version and expanding the vision under his own signature style, through a minimal solid mix and wonderful story telling layering, unfolding all the warmness of vocals through a lush of harmonies. A beautiful remix!”

-Nagamag.com

Multiplatinum Icelandic quintet Of Monsters and Men announce they have teamed up with American indie pop band MUNA for the official remix of “Visitor.” The remix brings a different perspective to the track while retaining it’s enchanting sonic vibe.

Released last month “Visitor” has already been making a strong impression with nearly 4 million global streams, capturing #1 Greatest Gainer at radio coming in at #16 at Triple A and #30 at Alternative. The success adds to the band’s nearly 4.6 billion global streams across their impressive catalogue and “Visitor” is the first song off a new body of work coming at the top of 2021 in celebration of the group’s tenth anniversary together.

Regarding “Visitor,” co-lead vocalist and guitarist Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir commented, “‘Visitor’ is a song about disconnection and being on the fringe of change, seeing everything you once knew disappear, and finding yourself in the role of the visitor. It was written and recorded when the world was a completely different place, but the post-apocalyptic world of the video seems fitting. We shot the music video for it in Iceland in the freezing cold of February right before the pandemic hit. We are so very excited to finally share this song with you. Much love.”

In the video, the beautiful landscape of the band’s home country takes center stage as it was shot in Iceland by local director Thora Hilmars. The video sees the band performing in an icy airplane hanger as Nanna and the band perform to daybreak while the song’s emotionally charged hooks talk about life in transition “Just like my parents’ house, I’ve become a visitor.”

The single sets the stage for 2021 when the band will celebrate 10 years of being together with more new music and other exciting content for fans. It brings everything full circle for the band with a bold new body of work.

In 2019, the group welcomed listeners into the embrace of their critically acclaimed third full-length album, FEVER DREAM. Not only did the record tally 80 million-plus total streams to date, but it also attracted acclaim from Billboard, NPR, The Line of Best Fit, Independent, Paste, and more. Clash Magazine claimed, “The songs also have an emotional content to them that is hard to ignore.” Q Magazine praised it as “a dizzying rush of exuberance and emotion…their transformation into an arena-ready pop beast is complete.” Notably, the single “Alligator” made history by completing “their quickest climb to #1 on the Adult Alternative Songs Airplay Chart,” as reported by Billboard. In addition to selling out dates coast-to-coast on the FEVER DREAM Tour, the group delivered rapturous television performances on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

OF MONSTERS AND MEN went from the talk of Iceland to the top of the global conversation on their 2011 debut, My Head Is An Animal. Not only did the record go platinum, but it also produced an international smash in the form of “Little Talks.” The breakthrough single earned a quintuple-platinum certification from the RIAA, made history as “the first song by an Icelandic band to cross 1 billion streams on Spotify,” and landed the band a performance on Saturday Night Live. The group appeared on official soundtracks for franchises such as The Hunger Games, The Walking Dead, and Beat Bugs, to name a few. In addition to performing at festivals such as Coachella, Lollapalooza, Firefly, and beyond, they supported Florence + the Machine on a high-profile arena tour. In the midst of this rapid rise, 2015’s Beneath The Skin bowed in the Top 3 of the Billboard Top 200 and the band starred in an episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones in the same year.

“There are times that we feel insecure and looking for an opportunity to run away from other people. Mikayla with her brand new track Insecure undertakes the task to express this highly negative emotions with unbelieveable sensitivity embelissed with her elegant voice”

-Nagamag.com

“Insecure” is about when you don’t believe you're worth any love, trust or good in life. That you are scared that people are gonna know how you see yourself and scare them away. As soon as you get the opportunity to run you do it. You’re too sensitive to exist and all you wanna do is to feel love but all you do is push it away.
