Bjorn Rydhog – Escape (Spotify)

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

“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.

“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.”

"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.

Rook Monroe – Dandelion (Spotify)

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

“Rook Monroe's vocals abound with their own unique charm, and the musical structure of Californialand plunges headlong into the light atmosphere of Indie Pop. Piano sounds, acoustic guitar riffs and bass drums provide the basic rhythm of Rook Monroe songs.”

“Вокал Rook Monroe изобилует своим, неповторимым шармом, а музыкальная структура альбома Californialand окунает с головой в лёгкую атмосферу Indie Pop. Звуки пиано, рифы акустические гитары и барабаны с басом обеспечивают основной ритм песен Rook Monroe.”

-Nagamag.com

"Dandelion is about not letting your dreams die. Not being afraid to fly. Leaving your baggage on the ground and letting life take you where it will." - Rook

http://www.instagram.com/rookmonroe

Rook Monroe's debut EP, Californialand, and its titular single, set the stage for the narrative arc of a rolling stone leaving a place he must leave in the past, to find a destination he can't define. Californialand finds Rook at an intersection of confidence and confusion, as much concerned with leaving lies behind as with heading towards one.

Produced with his good friends Trackside (Selena Gomez, BabyJake, Khamari), the production duo with whom he built his nostalgic sonic identity, the self-written project was crafted in LA as part of a yearlong process of musical discovery. The closing track Say Goodbye To My Children was created with super producer Brendan O'Brien (Grammy Producer of the Year, Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, Bob Dylan), who played a great role in helping find the overall sound.

Rook's first three singles garnered immediate love with editorial placement on Spotify's New Music Friday and Fresh Finds, Tidal's Pop: Rising, and Apple Music's Wake Me Up. A successful songwriter in his own right, having penned Rihanna's critically acclaimed 'Desperado' - and more singles for artists ranging wide, from Jeremih to The Chainsmokers - he summons all his influences into a rock influenced package for his passion project.

What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Ryan Flynn:
The genres that better describe the music style would be Synth Pop, Indie Pop, and Indie Electronic.


Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Ryan Flynn:
Originally begun as an experimental side project while in film school, ryan flynn has since evolved into a perpetual orb-praising space pop venture. It was in Rochester, NY that ryan flynn established his signature funky synth pop sound, solidified by the release of an eponymous EP in 2019 with widespread praise from the local community.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Ryan Flynn:
My first connection to music was certainly through my parents love for music. I was consistently surrounded by great music and was fortunate to have a piano in our home. No one else could play, but I'm pretty sure it was just there when we bought our house on Long Island. I would fool around and eventually grew to love the instrument! Once high school hit, I found myself writing and performing in a metal band with some great friends. I'd say with all of those things coming together, this was my pathway into music.

Do you have any plans to follow the release of the latest single, "Outside?"

Ryan Flynn:
Yes! We have a music video for "Outside" coming out December 16th. For the music video, I've combined and edited the works of two amazing artists together; Micah Buzan, who does the beautiful animation, and Taryn Elliot, who does the amazing landscape filmography. The combination of the two really vibes with the the track and I can't wait for people to connect the visuals with the track!

Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Ryan Flynn:
Steely Dan "Hey Nineteen"

WRENN – Hailey (Spotify)

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

“Waterfalls of the bitter, scalding tears are left invisible stains on your strong hands. Love and hate - all may be one. You can let me go, but I will love even at the edge of the universe. WRENN bring us into an emotional status with her heartwarming new song -Hailey-. Memorable! ”

“Водопады из горьких, обжигающих слёз оставляют невидимые пятна на твоих сильных руках. Любовь и ненависть - все едино. Ты можешь отпустить меня, но я буду любить даже на краю вселенной.”

-Nagamag.com

Trailblazing internet sensation WRENN has had a notable 2020 with viral success on TikTok, reaching 1.2M followers, and continues to make waves. Her newest uproar has come from WRENN using an audio clip of her ex admitting to cheating in the background of her newest single "Hailey." Talk about savage - but we're living for it. The TikTok video has 7 million views alone and shows no signs of slowing down while the single is currently charting at #9 on the Pop Charts.

WRENN reminds us that there's power in simplicity and a catchy chorus. In new single "Hailey" she reclaims her power, leaning into her own insecurities and putting all her feelings out there. (It also doesn't hurt to throw your cheating ex under the bus while you're at it.) "Out of everyone else, why'd it have to be Hailey," she croons in this low-key, indie-grunge pop track. Dealing with heartbreak is always tough, but blasting this track will definitely help.

"Ambient folk-rock with the same despondent heaviness as Portland artist Grouper and the vulnerability of London indie folk band Daughter." - The FADER

"Unapologetic emotion" - NYLON

"the 20-year-old Southern California native brings a grungy swagger with blaring feedback and pointed lyrics" - Billboard

"It will only be a matter of time until WRENN's extreme prowess for songwriting and performance makes her one of the leading ladies of indie rock." - Ones To Watch

"The tune evokes a 90s early grunge spirit that we all miss." - Ladygunn

Clearly, we're not the only ones feeling what WRENN's been putting out. This creative has been backed by numerous publications and just as many fans. Having previously received praise from tastemakers like The FADER, Ladygunn, NYLON, Billboard, Ones To Watch and many others, numerous placements on Spotify playlists including New Noise, Fierce Femmes, and All New Rock, this is is just the beginning. With sass, grit, and pure talent packed into her small frame, rousing firebrand artist WRENN is a force to be reckoned with.

WRENN now has over 86K Spotify followers, 47K Instagram followers, and over 1M TikTok followers who are loving her vulnerable honesty. The 22-year-old grew up surrounded by music and it's evident in her inherent knack for creating hits.

https://www.facebook.com/therealwrenn

WRENN is an alt-rock artist and a self-proclaimed “sad girl” who uses music as a means of communicating her feelings to the world.

The 20-year-old Los Angeles native has been featured on American Idol and The Voice, Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (where she performed with fellow singer Rachel Platten). WRENN just finished her first nationwide tour – performing as a supporting act for headliner, viral music star, gnash; and even though she is at the beginning of her career, WRENN has already garnered Hollywood’s attention, having her music selected for the soundtrack of recent episodes of Ray Donovan and Lucifer. WRENN’s debut EP, goodmo(u)rning, is slated to be released later this year.
