“Everything you need to create a certain mood is in -Feel Like-. Harmonic sound distortion, analogue warmth of synthesizers and hypnagogic Lo-fi music. ”

Feel Like-. Гармонические звуковые искажения, аналоговая теплота синтезаторов и гипнагогическая музыка Lo-fi.”

Blue Canopy – Banji
(Spotify)

“Warm, soothing music of Blue Canopy. The composition combines tube synthesizers, sampling and competent job with the vocals. Clearly a favorite from the lastest Chillwave releases.”

“Тёплая, умиротворяющая музыка Blue Canopy. Композиция Banji сочетает в себе ламповые синтезаторы, грамотное семплирование и работу с вокалом. Чистый и такой любимый нами Chillwave.”

-Nagamag.com

Second single from forthcoming Blue Canopy EP 'Sleep While You Can' (out March 5) -- featuring Patrick from A Beacon School on guitar.

Blue Canopy's 'Sleep While You Can' is the newest entry from Portland-based multi-instrumentalist, Alex Schiff. Exploring the often unspoken anxiety related to having a child and what that means for losing the past version of one's self, the EP is beautifully introspective at a time where self-reflection is incredibly crucial.

Formerly the keyboardist and co-writer for indie band, Modern Rivals, the EP is a follow up to his 2020 debut, Mild Anxiety, which was produced alongside Patrick J Smith (A Beacon School), a frequent collaborator.

Quote from artist: "I'm really intrigued by the relationship developing between our dog Banjo and our first born, Graham. When my wife was pregnant with Graham, I had a funny thought, "what life advice would Banjo give Graham when he meets him?"

Ella Beyer – Six Feet
(Spotify)

“Heart-touching song with dominating guitar chords and high level vocal capabilities. Music with attitude by the fantastic Ella Beyer. This effort is certainly going to be appreciated by many listeners out there. True creativity skills never stay in the dark.”

-Nagamag.com

Six Feet is a song about longing and love in an uncertain world. While “Six Feet” is Ella’s first official release, she has performed many original songs live. Her signature sound, showcased in this single, is a fresh take on the vintage art form. Ella writes about the world around her, covering themes from love at a distance to the struggles of high school with sage wisdom.

https://www.facebook.com/ellabeyermusic/

The universe forged an old-soul in 17 year old Ella Beyer. She’s the uncanny incarnate of the 70’s, from her music to her personality, her clothing and style – flowers and all. Through Ella’s songwriting you can hear the influences of Joni Mitchell and Carole King emerge as she takes on current events in her own right. Her honey sweet voice and her bubbly optimism are her spirit trademarks.

The pandemic has been difficult for everyone. So when a 17 year old is able to create musical lemonade from lemons in 2020, while still balancing high school and normal teenage things, its sure to turn heads. “Six Feet” is a current event catch that demonstrates Ella’s remarkable songwriting talent at a young age. While her personal style, and musical influences transcend generations with a sweet charm of an era gone by – Ella’s fresh new single is here to stay, encapsulating a moment in history that wouldn’t be forgotten soon.

While “Six Feet” is Ella’s first official release, she has performed many original songs live. Her signature sound, showcased in this single, is a fresh take on the vintage art form. Ella writes about the world around her, covering themes from love at a distance to the struggles of high school with sage wisdom.

When she’s not writing music or studying at her performing arts high school, Ella uses her talent in partnership with the Dragon Kim Foundation where she volunteers with Fostering the Arts. Her unique ability to mix her original works with stunning covers of well-loved songs is a perfect fit for the program, which works to expose kids in the foster care system to opportunities in the arts.

Ella has also performed with shows held by The Music Path, a California non-profit that works to increase access to music in public schools. Beyond just her work in these volunteer and non-profit settings, Ella has participated in shows including the Berklee College of Music Songwriting Sessions, and performs locally at venues such as the Alex Theatre, No Future Café, and Descanso Gardens.

Bjorn Rydhog – Escape
(Spotify)

“Music Bjorn Rydhog possesses a surprising feature - it can heal the tech, which deluded in an inconspicuous interpretation of uselessness. Listen to his new single Escape. Find yourself and calm down.”

“Музыка Bjorn Rydhog обладает удивительной особенностью - она может исцелять тех, кто заблудился в непроглядном тумане безысходности. Послушайте его новый сингл Escape. Найдите своё и успокойтесь.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared with us few words behind this song:

"Escape" was the first song I crafted back home in Malmö after five inspiring months in India together with my girlfriend. One of the insights that really hit me on the journey, was how unknowingly attached to my thoughts and culture I had been, and in some ways, still am. To get away from unnecessary attachments does take some time and isn’t easy. But still that’s my mission and the song Escape an expression of that desire.

The Sunshine State – Things Changed
(Video)

“Everything changes in this amazing and so immense world in our entire life. Things Changed will make you jittery as you plunge into the narrative. The young and talented singer and musician Skyler Stonestreet won us over. Will conquer you too.”

“Всё меняется в этом удивительном и таком необъятном за всю нашу жизнь мире. Things Changed заставит вас поволноваться, стоит только окунуться в повествование. Молодая и талантливая певица и музыкант Skyler Stonestreet покорила нас. Покорит и вас.”

-Nagamag.com

The Sunshine State, the new project of distinguished songwriter Skyler Stonestreet, is ready to share her next single “Things Changed,” due out next week. Stonestreet, known for penning top hits for artists like Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa, The Chainsmokers, Marshmello, Hailee Steinfeld, and many more, brings her dextrous songwriting and revered indie sound to life in this new project.

“Things Changed” (written by Skyler, Hayley Gene Penner (Lennon Stella, Charlotte Lawrence), and Nick Monson (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez)) follows the release of debut single “Cliff Drive” which catapulted The Sunshine State as an artist to watch in the new year. Stonestreet previously released a slew of singles under her own name, garnering praise far and wide from the likes of PAPER, Billboard, Pop Dust, Ones To Watch and more.

In new single “Things Changed,” driving guitars meet shades of twinkling alt-pop and indie rock while radiant vocals take center stage. The Sunshine State delivers a message about naïveté and a blissfully reckless youth. As she reconciles with her past and how things could’ve gone, she counts her lucky stars for the way they turned out.

Skyler shares, “‘Things Changed’ is about where I was in my life and where I could have gone. It’s about who I was with and where they ended up.It’s about the different roads you can take and the ones you choose to leave behind.”

Born in Las Vegas, Skyler moved to Los Angeles shortly after graduating high school to pursue a career in music. However, a breast cancer diagnosis put things on hold for a little while. After successfully battling the disease, Skyler’s experience, determination, and gusto became a clear catalyst for her burgeoning career. “[Breast cancer] doesn’t define me,” Stonestreet shared with Ones To Watch. “But now I want to help other people who are going through it. And I want girls to know that they should feel okay in their own skin.”

The Sunshine State feels like a true representation of Skyler as an artist in her own right. The LA-native creates an altered state full of dreamy landscapes and distorted guitars by diving into her roots of live instruments and ambient vocals. “It’s taken me a long time to figure out exactly what I want to do with my music and I feel like this crazy 2020 has actually helped unlock that (but more it’s because of the help of two of my favorite humans. I feel like I have honestly lived a lot of different lives, some that I have never really looked at, or acknowledged. I think I got too good at pretending they didn’t exist, so I felt like writing about them all.”

CARDS & SITA – Blue Automobile
(Spotify)

New CARDS & SITA collab, "Blue Automobile," is a chill, beachy indie-soul song with lush arrangements reminiscent of 70s era Philly Soul & Bossa Nova.

Jenny Kern – Coming Back For Me
(Spotify)

“Coming Back For Me hit our playlist as soon as we heard it. Jenny Kern is one of those performers whose songs are remembered once and for all. If you have a place for beauty in your heart, then this single will take its modest corner there.”

“Coming Back For Me попал в наш плейлист сразу же, как только мы услышали его. Jenny Kern из тех исполнителей, чьи песни запоминаются раз и навсегда. Если в вашем сердце есть место для красоты, то данный сингл займёт там свой скромный уголок.”

-Nagamag.com

"Coming Back For Me" is a song about solitude. It's about being alone and learning to be okay with it. Especially during this time, with everything going on in the world. There's a tension between the inner self and the outer world. How we learn to deal with our emotions, our experiences and our pain. It's a process and this song helps guide people through it especially with the build of the song.
