(Spotify)

“Picking the 7th track, "The Liar" from Betty Moon's new album "Little Miss Hollywood? on Evolver Music Inc, a song which starts with strong beats and wonderful bassline before wide and with depth vocals of Betty Moon show up to sparkle the right synhpop emotions, a solid synthwavish atmosphere with melacholic retro vibes here.”

-Nagamag.com

Betty Moon, the Southern California based songwriter, producer and larger than life persona has unveiled the new album ‘Little Miss Hollywood’. The album kicks off with the energetic, pop/rock infused title track, which is another proof of Moon’s ability to blend pop and her rock n’ roll roots with arena-worthy riffs and stellar production paired with Moon’s unforgettable voice. ‘Little Miss Hollywood’ as an album gives the listener a bit of everything Moon has been known for, including layers of electronic, indie, funk and dance energy. The 10 song release was made available on Spotify and Apple Music on Friday, July 31st.

Album Tracklisting:
1. Little Miss Hollywood
2. Did It For Nothing
3. Your Dirty Love
4. How Do You Like Me Now
5. Don’t Stop Now **
6. Monsters In My Head
7. The Liar
8. All He Is
9. Find A Love
10. Take Me Downtown

“Monsters In My Head” and “Don’t Stop Now” are a welcome return to form for old school Betty Moon fans, who have experienced her metamorphosis of previous straight up rock singles on past records to inclusion of a refreshing pop/electronic sensibility on recent 2019 tracks like “Save My Soul” and “Violent City”. Choice tracks on ‘Little Miss Hollywood’ such as “Your Dirty Love” and “Did It For Nothing” take the tempo down as she struts her soul-fueled influences before turning things back up with her now widely-known pop/electronic sound on “Little Miss Hollywood” and “The Liar”. Moon has been in the studio for most of 2020 and has completed dozens of ideas with 10 being included on the ‘Little Miss Hollywood’.

“The opening riff was penned to catch listeners off guard, and to perhaps impress some of my old school fans who thought I wasn’t writing enough rock riffs” says Moon about ‘Don’t Stop Now’. “The funny thing is that I’ve always been into different types of music, but this time around I was feeling the world didn’t have enough edgy rock going around, so I’m here to deliver. The lockdown has allowed me plenty of time to write dozens of additional songs and put the final touches on this EP along with others, I have so many stories to tell on these songs.”

Since being signed to a major label in the 90’s, Betty Moon has been known as a queen of DIY work ethic and has since self-released 9 albums via her own label Evolver Music, Inc. Her most recent release was 2019’s ‘Hellucination’ and her music has earned media coverage from Huffington Post, Billboard, Alternative Nation, LA Times, Stencil Magazine, Exclaim!, Vents, Side Stage Magazine, Spill Magazine, Tattoo.com and much more. Moon has continued to defy industry trends, earning worldwide retail airplay, online and college radio rotation and record numbers via over 10,000 Spotify followers, 1.6M+ Facebook fans and over 50,000 followers on Instagram.

Moon’s music draws influence from underground sounds ranging from rock, soul, punk rock, electronic and electro-pop soaked with aggressive, empowering, yet somehow soothing, electrifying the listener with it’s big bold energy. Moon wrote, produced and mixed LMH, which continues to inject genuine sex appeal, soulful vocal prowess and massive production all the while experimenting with new sounds and modern genre trends. The single “Don’t Stop Now” was also released as a standalone single, titled “Dead out of Love” last month alongside her ‘Translucent’ EP.

Geena Fontanella – Circles
(Spotify)

“Geena Fontanella with her rare polytropic vocal style and the brilliant yet minimal sound design of "Circles" lift up the pop emotions in an endless rhythmic harmonic rainbow.”

-Nagamag.com

Singer-songwriter Geena Fontanella has a knack for penning alt-pop hits and does it again with her new single "Circles," due out next week. The L.A. creative pens her intimate thoughts about not fitting into someone else's mold and pairs it with electrifying production.

The indie artist brings doesn't give a f**k about what other people think and brings that energy to the pop world with creative production, powerful vocals, introspective lyrics and hint of sass that leaves you begging for more.

The L.A-based singer-songwriter fell in love with music as a young kid. "I remember my mom bought me a stereo for my birthday and everyday for a year I would put in a cd and try to hit every note and run I could. Practicing over and over again. For me, it was the first thing I truly fell in love with," she explains. It wasn't until high-school that she realized her passion for writing.

"When I was a sophomore in high school, I watched a video of Katy Perry saying, 'How can you really perform a song and feel it, if you didn't write it?' I think what really struck me was that I realized, I could never be a great performer if I didn't become a great writer. I didn't want anything standing in my way of being great, so I started immediately."

Fontanella brings her refined style to "Circles," a hypnotic and rebellious dance-bop. The track flirts with electronic production and features crunchy guitars and a lilting melody. As the track blooms, a variety of vocal effects make for a unique bridge that grabs you immediately. Fontantella's artistry is abundantly clear as she shares her experience of not fitting into someone else's mold.

MΛD FVN – Skeletons
(Spotify)

“A top notch electro pop with wonderful sound design full of diversity and energy, and with a vocal style which follows the same and stands out of the usual forma. MΛD FVN, She knows the “skeletons” in your closet: the lies you’ve kept from her, the disguises you put on. You hid your true self, and now that she is smart enough to know better, you can’t hide from her anger. ”

-Nagamag.com

MΛD FVN share with us few words about her:
"When I was 12, I was in an ATV accident with my brother. Then again, at age 21, I had an even worse ATV accident. Neither time was I the one driving, so other than them teaching me to never trust others with heavy machinery, they also left me with a constant, unnerving awareness of death. I realized that my biggest fear is not dying, but dying before I have the chance to give what I love, whether it’s people or passion, all that I’ve got was not an option. Those experiences gave me the gift of perseverance and perspective. I adore every moment of happiness, sadness, and everything in between, with music fueling my purpose to have a life worth living.

Music has always been my saving grace, my true passion, and my ultimate talent. Since I was a little girl, gathering crowds in department stores because I couldn’t help but sing and dance to Britney Spears playing on the store radio, I knew I was born to entertain. From singing, to dancing, to songwriting, to performing, I was born to be a singer like a cat to tearing apart furniture (I know, because I have two). Music gives me the power to embrace every part of who I am in my darkest times to my best moments, all while connecting with people from across the globe. Since growing up traveling the world, from living in Saudi Arabia to backpacking across Asia with my best friend, my ultimate goal is to connect the most emotional, raw, human parts of myself with people all over the planet through the power of music."

Eric Ananda – Standing Tall
(Spotify)

“Standing Tall from Eric Ananda is a bright electro pop song, which starts with beautiful vibes and as it moves on expands his diversity in sound design layering through a top notch mix and production. A refreshing theme with sound quality and glowing vocals! ”

-Nagamag.com

Eric Ananda is a Kenyan record producer who since early childhood has had a passion for music. Starting to play the guitar at a very young age and by the age of 6 he learnt to play the guitar and piano; through the ABRSM music board. The standards required to pass each stage of the ABRSM course equipped him with an early understanding of the dexterity required to achieve a fluent performance. At age 9, he begun to play the clarinet in order to join his preparatory school orchestra and gain the chance to expose himself to different genres of music, classical included.

In his teenage years came maturity as he explored a new interest in playing covers for songs by well known bands such as Nickelback, Daughtry, Lifehouse among many others. Meanwhile as his desire to pursue music further grew, Eric’s influence also expanded to hip-hop. There he has had the opportunity to interact with other like minds; some of which introduced him to another popular culture of music, EDM (Electronic Dance Music).

His first official release “Abode” was released in 2015 under his alias Raejbass on Ensis Records. After its positive reception, it encouraged Eric to continue experimenting in different sectors of the electronic music scene, examples of which are marketing to label managing.

In late 2018, Eric made the decision to leave Raejbass behind and begun releasing music under his legal name. 2020 has welcomed more exposure for Eric, namely contributing to releases where he will be credited as a producer and songwriter instead of an artist. Most recently, he is set to release his Debut EP “Drive” in May 2020 and looks forward to coming opportunities that the rest of the year will bring.

KINGS – call me when you grow up…
(Spotify)

“The sound quality here is top noth, with the music layering tickling your ears and the fresh bright yet warm vocals of KINGS fills the gap between harmonies and beat in a perfect sync. Wonderful song both in vocal and music level. ”

-Nagamag.com

KINGS said about this song "I think we can all agree that teenage boys can be pretty immature, to say the least. So I decided to call them out and have a little fun with it. This song is one of my favorites I’ve ever written. I wanted to take a less-than-desirable situation and turn it into an anthem. “call me when you grow up…” relates to a lot of situations I’ve been in.. I was sort of talking to this boy, who thought we were going somewhere, but it obviously was not. He’s the kind of guy who would flirt with every girl he passes on the street if he could. The good thing is, I wasn’t hurt in the slightest since I definitely knew what was going on. It’s actually hilarious because even when he hears the song, he probably won’t know it’s about him. The same goes for most of my songs."

Few words about KINGS:
From the moment her dad played the “Bohemian Rhapsody”, KINGS wanted to write and sing songs that moved others in the same way. Music is not only her first language, but, also, her first love. Music is the way she communicates when words alone are not enough.

KINGS started performing at the bright, young age of three years old. From there she realized her true passion for music. She placed every ounce of creativity and energy possible into the writing songs, especially after being rejected and hurt by what she thought to be friends.

She left her small town in North Carolina, and moved to Nashville inching closer to her dream. KINGS started creating a social media presence on the widely popular platform TikTok. Not only was she establishing a footprint for herself, she created a beautiful set of songs with a three time Grammy nominated producer/composer that fully encapsulated her vision.

Years upon years of dedication and hard work have lead to this moment. The upcoming release of her first song titled “call me when you grow up…” is an anthem to a less than desirable relationship. The title says it all, and it will leave you with the words stuck in your head wanting to put the song back on to help with the earworm syndrome that this song will cause. You can find this song on all streaming platforms on June 19th.

Mokita – Down
(Video)

“Down from Mokita is the right music pill to push out your shady thoughts that usualy comes at night, soft sound as feather gives you the positive thoughts to finish a long day with clean mind and dream for tomorrow. ”

-Nagamag.com

Nashville singer-songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Mokitais released his new single/video, “Down” last Friday, 8/28. Unrelentingly honest and deeply personal, Mokitaapproaches songwriting as a confessional form of expression, often tackling the sincerest of subjects with thoughtful clarity. His new single “Down,” is a love letter to anyone who is struggling right now. Beginning with a somber piano introduction, “Down” surges into a meditative, downtempo pop number that’s guided by poignant yet hopeful lyricism.

“I’ve had some really rough seasons in my life where my depression was just so bad and I didn’t feel like I was ever going climb out of it,but through those times I’ve had some close friends who have walked with me through those seasons; who have encouraged me and just been present,” Mokitawrites.“I think the theme of this song was really just a letter to those friends who are going through those things, and to anyone who is having a hard time. Everybody needs a friend to walk with them through the hard seasons and sometimes just being present, being available to listen, and being faithful, is the best way to love someone through those times.”

Raised in a small town in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, and, later, western North Carolina, Mokita— born John-Luke Carter — took to music at a young age, beginning 13 years of classical piano lessons at age six, before picking up the guitar and trying his hand at songwriting as a teen. Relocating to Nashville after college, John-Luke took on the Mokitamoniker, a name adopted from Kivila, a language native to Papua New Guinea. The word Mokitaroughly translates to “the truth we all know but don’t talk about,” and it’s that sentiment that has always informed Carter’s approach to songwriting, exploring themes like depression, anxiety, the joy and stress and uncertainty of budding and fading relationships, and other personal themes, all in ways we all too often feel but rarely so truthfully articulate.

Mokita’s knack for songwriting and producing has led to collaborations with noteworthy artists like Ella Vos, R3HAB, Lost Frequencies, and Gavin Haley, as well as remixes for Maggie Rogers, Betty Who, and Daya. In recent years, Mokitahas also stepped out from behind the scenes, making a name for himself as an artist in his own right. His debut EP, 4201, was released in 2019 and he has continued to roll out a string of standout singles over the course of year. With over 200M+ combined streams and praise from the likes of Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, and Ones To Watch, Mokitais certainly an act to keep an eye on.

Michelle Ray – Chasing Shadows
(Spotify)

“No doubt that Chasing Shadows of Michelle Ray is a wonderful summerish electro pop hit, witch turn on the groove quick and put a smile in your face with the variety of turns and games Michelle Ray push in each turn. But is this the most soft, warm and sweet high freq and hats/snares we have hear lately? certainly yes. Solid production!”

-Nagamag.com

Los Angeles based singer-songwriter Michelle Ray gifts us with her upcoming single "Chasing Shadows," a pop offering that sounds like sweet sweet summer.

"I started singing before I could talk," Ray exclaims. The natural-born talent began classical training at age 10 after begging for vocal lessons and the rest was history. Growing up in an extremely musical home shaped her destined future. Her dad managed a rock band with whom she performed backing vocals on their national tours at age 17 and opened for their sold out-shows in Japan at age 26. "I grew up in the home my mom grew up in and we lived with my grandma who was a music manager and music connoisseur. She played classical music throughout the house while my parents taught my brother and I 80's rock and roll. My grandma managed an Opera singer, Misha Raitzin, who I was named after. He was a Tenor at the Metropolitan Opera House in NYC. There was no way I was not going to be in the music world," she adds.

With her diverse musical genre upbringing, Michelle naturally gravitated towards soul/R&B pop music. Influenced by stars like Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, and Bruno Mars, Michelle found a way to incorporate soul and pop and hone in on her own sound.

Her outstanding vocals paired with a shining personality landed the talented Ray a spot on NBC's The Voice, Team Blake, Season 4. Her voice has since been broadcasted on national commercials for Maybelline, Mastercard, JCPenny, Nickelodeon and numerous others and she's also been featured in a number of shows including Garry Marshall's "Mother's Day," Amazon Prime's "The Expanse," and Bravo's "VanderPump Rules."

Ray has spent the past year focusing on writing and recording but could often be found performing at Los Angeles venues like The Troubadour, Hotel Cafe, Peppermint Club, and more. She's also lent her theatrical talents to roles such as The Witch in "Into the Woods," Klepto in "Alanis Morissette - The Album Project: Jagged Little Pill" (touring in LA and Phoenix) as well as Alyshia in the Los Angeles production of Green Day's American Idiot.

Ray shines in new single "Chasing Shadows" with soul-bearing vocals, glittery production, and electrifying synths. Intended for late-night dance parties and summer day drives, Michelle captures the splendor and wistful energy of summer juxtaposed with the melancholy of longing for something that's no longer. Sitting on the sonic edge of dream-pop and nu-disco "Chasing Shadows" is a blast of feel-good energy and hard realizations.

On the single Ray elaborates, "'Chasing Shadows' is about thinking you can see or feel this presence everywhere you go but you can never actually hold it, it's not tangible, so is it real or just your imagination? Instagram-filtered memories and drive-in movie fantasies melt together as we imagine a love that could save us. An electric summer anthem that will shine a light when you're dancing in the dark."
