Sweedish born, Melbourne based Neo-Soul singer-songwriter LHĒON has unveiled her brand new track, “I Hate The Way That I Love You”. Fiercely powerful, LHĒON is reaching new heights with her latest funk-tinged offering.

In striking contrast to her previous releases, the electrifying “I Hate The Way That I Love You” is jam packed with a stylish Motown inspired soundscape, topped off by the endlessly powerful and distinctive vocals of LHĒON. Written and produced by Lee Bradshaw, LHĒON brings her commanding presence to the expertly written track. Led by the constant drum beat, sassy hooks and a groove fuelled organ instrumentation, the vibrant anthemic nature of this offering has culminates in a punchy and exhilarating listen.

When asked about her new release LHĒON shared:

“IHTWILY is about the conflicting feelings of knowing someone is bad for you but still being unable to let go.”

Often compared to Adele, LHĒON’s unrelenting talent for conveying the most delicate of emotions in the most relatable yet aspirational way is what has helped her stand out. After the warm welcome to her debut EP, Full Disclosure Pt. I, and the release of the unforgettable “elique” and “pretend”, “I Hate The Way That I Love You” marks the beginning of a new sound with a new EP, Full Disclosure Pt. II.

Joy Frost – Do What You Love (Video)

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

“Balance as a source of life, being in a forgotten and immersed in an incredibly malleable and penetrating musical world of -Do What You Love-. It makes a strong impression. Not so much for its charming lyrics as for the overall sound approach.”

“Баланс, как источник жизни, оказавшись в котором забываешься и погружаешься в невероятно тягучий и пронизывающий музыкальный мир композиции -Do What You Love-. Производит очень сильное впечатление. Не столько своей очаровательной лирикой, сколько подходом к звуку в целом.”

Artist said about this song: “This is a song about what it’s really like doing what you love, the good and the bad. It was inspired by carrying my heavy gear everywhere as a busker in Dublin”

Sargeant X Comrade – Beautiful (Video)

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

“Essentially, a combination of art, music & poetry in a YouTube video format, Sargeant X Comrade, ‘Beautiful’ delivers a soulful & melodic lead vocal over a simple guitar scat chordal pattern, soft percussion that in parts is reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix ‘Little Wing’ There are some interesting vocal harmonies and drop-in’s that really enhance the track.”

-Nagamag.com

Another art video from the Lo fi soul group Sargeant X Comrade. Beautiful is an attempt at conveying the feeling of falling in love through a visual narrative. Taking the “falling” part literal the video blurs the line between reality and fantasy. Reminiscent of a painting done in a contemporary fashion using video techniques instead of the traditional oils and canvas, Beautiful by Sargeant X Comrade combines art, music and poetry into one.

Congregation – The War (Spotify)

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

“Rhythmic work with '70s style. Distinct bright guitars, powerful drum sound and expressive soloists in the mood of neo-soul and funk. Don't miss it.”

“Ритмичное произведение в стилистике 70-ых годов, с яркими гитарными партиями, мощной драм-секцией и выразительным исполнением солистов в жанре neo-soul и funk. ”

-Nagamag.com

Every human confronts their own personal conflict around temptation - to drive too fast, drink too much, shop and spend too much, to stay at a party too long, too over-eat, to consider cheating on a partner - to take chances that we know are likely more bad for us than good. "The War" tackles this topic by illustrating two characters who run out on their obligations and resolves in a chorus that expands the theme of temptation to be everyone's fight - Everybody Fights The War.

Stella – I.L.Y.S. (Pt.2) (Spotify)

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

“Atmospheric, lyrical work with charming vocals and catchy chorus effect. The perfect combination of electronics, neo-soul and live instruments that you'll love from the first seconds.”

“Мелодия припева, обворожительный вокал и запоминающийся припев. Атмосферная, лирическая работа, идеальное сочетание электроники, neo-soul и живых инструментов.”

-Nagamag.com

Pt.2 is the second part to a song of Stella's called “I Love You So”. With Pt.2 closing off her debut EP, and I Love You So showing the beginning of a love story, you'll be taken through a beautiful relationship with a beautiful human. Pt.2 talks about the love that was lost, the regret behind it, and the scar that’s been left on Stella's heart. Just when you think you’re recovering from the emotion-stirring journey this song takes you on, she delivers some profound spoken word; the percussive rhythm section perfectly complimenting the poetry.

About Stella:

Out of a dark and dingy bedroom in the depths of the Black Country emerged a dreadlocked creature whose ears pricked up at the sound of twanging guitars and cracking drum beats. Galloping around, she made friends wherever she went and caused mischief along the way. She was a rebel; no care for the rules or the way things should be done. This was the beginnings of Stella.

Something of an alter ego, the name has adopted many connotations over the years, with much of her fan base unaware that it’s not actually her name...

Stella is more than a name now, more than a brand. It’s a way of life. Stella represents freedom and empowerment - the freedom to express yourself and stand up for what you believe in. Stella is finding your own way. Stella is a middle finger to the man. Stella is caring for your neighbour. Stella is joy. Stella is a party. Stella is love.

Her relationship with life has been an integral component in the sculpting of Stella’s sound. Passionate, sensitive yet dynamic, evocative and lyrically provoking, it embodies her struggles growing up in what, at times, was a cruel world. Her insecurities and vulnerabilities, her endeavours for a healthier mind and her battles with adversity are all laid bare in her songs.

Alongside these qualities she has a natural gift for writing alluring melodies and the caressing vocals to deliver them in symbiotic harmony.

If you’re a lover of honest, raw, emotive music, then Stella is for you.

To complement her natural talent, her drive, desire to progress and outgoing personality are opening new doors for her all the time, a testament to her hard work and passion.

So, what can you expect from a Stella show? Well, that’s not something that can be captured in a few words. What can be promised however is that you’ll leave with a smile on your face.

Her inspirations span far and wide and reach beyond music and her immediate experiences. As a devoted feminist and environmentalist, she endeavours every day to make the world a better place and much of her creative expression originates from this. She is also a romantic and is able effortlessly to conjure up heartfelt songs to eternalise a moment.

Some of her main musical influences include Lily Allen, Mac Miller, Bob Marley, Jorja Smith and Tom Misch. Outside of music her most significant role model is her mom, who has been there with her every step of the way, attending every gig without fail and guaranteed to be found dancing wildly at the front.

In the last few years, she has established herself as a household name on the Birmingham scene, winning best pop act at the Birmingham Music Awards in 2018, where she caught the attention of John Taylor of Duran Duran, who commended her for her performance and wrote about it on his social media pages.

She has played many of the city’s most iconic venues such as The Sunflower Lounge, The O2 Institute, and The Rotunda. She has also featured as the guest artist at the highly acclaimed jam session, Neighbourhood.

Stella has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with the likes of Kioko, Lady Sanity and Husky Loops, and was due to headline her first show for Birmingham Promoters in December. Sadly, due to the COVID pandemic this had to be postponed until further notice, but as soon as the restrictions are lifted, rest assured it’s gonna go off!

Currently she is in the final stages of studying for a songwriting degree at BIMM, which again has been rather disrupted by the virus and is now all online lectures. This did, however, allow her the opportunity to focus on her EP, with her first single, Warm and High, released last summer, making it on to a reputable playlist on Spotify. More releases to follow very soon so watch this space!

Stella does not meet societal standards, and she doesn’t want to. Her intention is to bring people together, to share laughs, spread good vibes, provoke thought, encourage the individual to challenge themselves, to question their beliefs and values, inspire them, and ultimately to create a better world for everyone.

“Light Jazz song with very meaningful lyrics and crystal clear singing. If you're one of those who don't use to immitate others and your personality is strong enough to make independent choices, then "Want" is what you really want!”

-Nagamag.com

Want - Is a song about how we don' t all have to agree to get along - This is relevant especially in today's climate -

People think others need to agree with them or see things their way and that's not always possible or relevant .
