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

“Khamari and Jae Stephens team up and deliver you a heartwarming R&B, called -Other Side-, the 5th track of Khamari's album -Eldorado-. Through a top notch production and soulful vocals making the right soundtrack for your night rides or night hugs ;) ”

-Nagamag.com

Other Side brings the narrative arc of Khamari’s debut project into its nostalgic post relationship state. The final single from his Eldorado EP reminisces back to how they were, how they felt, and leaves the door ajar in case it's worth revisiting. Over production from Alex Delicata and Trackside, counterbalanced with Jae Stephens’ vocal harmonies, he continues the intimately musical vibe of the project. As a body of work, the full sequence of songs illustrates the rise and fall of love, expectation, and fulfillment.

Khamari's career debuted with a trio of Spotify New Music Friday placements, including a #10 spot with his sophomore release The Heat. His editorial support rounded out as the cover artist for Spotify's Fresh Finds, and further playlisting on Apple Music FEELS, Amazon's The New Black and Breakthrough R&B, and as cover artist for Tidal's Pop:Rising. With over 4 million cumulative streams in his first 3 songs - including 500k in The Heat's first week on Spotify alone - Khamari's first chapter is off to a powerful start.

A multifaceted independent artist, songwriter, and producer, Khamari grew up in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston, MA. His first project wraps his powerfully earnest songwriting around contemporary sonics, with stellar production from Trackside throughout, as well as his own production. Skilled as a vocalist, pianist, and guitarist, Khamari's music is distilled from influences ranging as wide as The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, and Sly Stone, to Frank Ocean, Kid Cudi, and Mac Miller.

-Nagamag.com

After billions of views and a series of monumental performances, 14-year-old Los Angeles-based, critically acclaimed vocalist, Angelina Jordan releases her official debut single “Million Miles” today.

Get it HERE via Republic Records. https://angelinajordan.lnk.to/MillionMilesPR

Produced by GRAMMY® Award-winning production duo Stargate [Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Rihanna] and written by Angelina, the track highlights her expansive range above delicate piano. She immediately captivates with a jaw-dropping vocal performance well beyond her years and open-hearted lyrics.

“Million Miles” is about losing someone you really love,” she explains. “This song is very personal to me, because I had never felt the feeling of losing someone before I wrote this.”

“Million Miles” sets the stage for Angelina’s highly anticipated label debut. The young artist first skyrocketed to international fame when she won Norway’s Got Talent at 8-years-old. Labels and producers feverishly sought her out, but Angelina chose to take the time to find the right sound for her music and further hone her songwriting talent.

“I knew I wanted something bigger,” she admits. “I didn’t want to jump into it until I felt I was ready.”

Along the way, GRAMMY® Award-winning production duo Stargate [Beyoncé, Sam Smith, Rihanna] reached out to Angelina, and they initiated a fervent creative partnership together. She continued to write lyrics, compose on piano and guitar, and record. Catching the attention of Republic Records, she inked a deal with the label in 2020.

The breadth of Angelina’s soulful and deep alto vocal delivery showcases a rare class of musical aptitude that you would attribute to an old soul, and legendary talent, well beyond her years.

Angelina Jordan has all the makings of a breakthrough star and is one to watch.

A musical prodigy, Angelina Jordan sang for the first time at barely a year old, and she never stopped. The Los Angeles-based 14-year-old singer and songwriter amplified her voice around the globe, racking up over half-a-billion YouTube views, just shy of 2 billion Facebook views, and praise from Time, CNN, The BBC, and People. Along the way, she performed for world leaders at some of the most influential events in Europe, appeared on European and North American television, and quietly enraptured a growing fan base. She graced the stage of the 2014 Nobel Peace Prize Ceremony and delivered an emotionally charged rendition of “What A Wonderful World.” A year later, she wowed an audience at Brilliant Minds in Stockholm. Touching down in Seoul during 2017, she joined a powerhouse bill alongside PSY and Norah Jones in front of 40,000 people at Muse In City Festival. Quincy Jones personally invited her to perform at his 85th birthday at London’s O2 Arena. Catching the attention of Republic Records, she inked a deal with the label in 2020. Now, she formally introduces herself with the debut single “Million Miles.”

ABRAM x BRIAN WALKER X DANIELA NICOLE- ROLEPLAY (Spotify)

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

“Brian Walker x ABRAM x Daniela Nicole team up with their new single ROLEPLAY under the -Where Are The Fruits- imprint and through this clean mix and soulful vocals, drops us their sweet beats and story line define what means minimal beauty of a pop song.”

-Nagamag.com

Some people fall in love with their high school sweethearts, get married after college, and then settle down and have a family right away. That may be the idealistic, perfect relationship. But often times love stories are a bit more complicated than that. When it comes to relationships, people often get confused and don’t really know what they’re looking for. They feel like they need to go out and experience life, and are missing out on something by settling down. Or perhaps their standards for love are so high, that they force themselves into isolation and loneliness, only to realize that what they once had, or could’ve had, was actually something great, and once-in-a-lifetime. ROLEPLAY is a song that deals with the latter situation. The man in this song knew right away that who he was looking at was someone special, but the girl didn’t see it. She left and went out and traveled, and lived her life, only to realize later that he could be the one to fill the void in her life. ROLEPLAY is a song about second chances, and never giving up on love, no matter how complicated it can get, or how long it can take to find. The literal meaning of the title, is that the man and woman in this song have only ever been just friends, and now they are ready to take on the new “ROLES” of being together in a committed relationship.
