Stray Theories – Empath
(Spotify)

“Someone who is endowed with the talent to perceive other people's emotions as their own and project the world of man on themselves - is dedicated. The wonderful combination of ambient and insertion of neoclassics produce an indelible impression. Music that creates wonders.”

“Того, кто наделён талантом воспринимать чужие эмоции как собственные и проецировать мир человека на себя - посвящается. Прекрасное сочетание эмбиента и лёгкого вкрапления неоклассики производят неизгладимое впечатление. Музыка, которая творит чудеса.”

Laura Brehm -The Dawn Is Still Dark
(Video)

“Emotional, discreet and elegant song which can cause admiration from its first seconds. Fascinating harmony and storm of indescribable emotions! We advise you to suspend all your current affairs and enjoy the impressive voice of Laura Brehm embraced by atmospheric music!”

“Эмоциональный, но при этом сдержанный и уверенный посыл песни восхищает с первых секунд. Завораживающая гармония и буря непередаваемых эмоций! Советуем вам приостановить все текущие дела и насладиться впечатляющим голосом Laura Brehm и атмосферной музыкой!”

“The Dawn Is Still Dark,” the title track from Laura Brehm’s brand new full length album, is a call to raise awareness of the climate crisis. The official video, directed by Chris Orwat of Pure Cinematography and filmed in rural northern Colorado, begins sad and dark, Laura seemingly alone in the world, in an unconscious state and seeing flashes of environmental crises and protests. As the emotional intensity of the song progresses, a new incarnation of Laura appears, bringing hope and light, and a vision of something better that awaits in the future if we truly work together in unity and love.

One of the most highly sought-after vocalists in the EDM realm, Laura Brehm emerges from her chrysalis to reveal her debut full length album, ‘The Dawn Is Still Dark.’ The self-produced record showcases the diverse talent of the Denver-based songwriter, producer, and musician.

Laura crafts delicate and powerful pop ballads, intertwining electronic and orchestral threads. She delves into personal battles with anxiety, as well as the collective anxiety of impending climate change.

“My new album is a play on the phrase we’ve all heard, ‘it’s darkest before the dawn.’ The title puts a twist on this by conveying it’s still dark outside when you expected the sunrise. It’s generally about times in our lives where we feel that we have waited so long, we have done all we can, we are at the end of our strength, and when we think we’ll finally be arriving at the end of the tunnel, more darkness awaits. However, with the strength you have gained through the process, you are able to ascend through the darkness. It’s very meaningful to me because it comes from my own personal experience with anxiety, insomnia, unhealthy relationships, and escapism. I hope to help the listener process through their own similar emotions and leave them with a feeling of strength, inspiration, or renewal by the time they’ve listened through.”

Laura Brehm’s album The Dawn Is Still Dark is available now via AntiFragile Music. Listen/download here: https://ffm.to/_thedawnisstilldark

(Spotify)

“This soundtrack is for everyone who loves to meet the evening at the TV screen, enjoying their favourite movie. It also creates a special aftertaste. Just listen and it may become an excellent part of your music collection for a long time!”

“Этот саундтрек понравится всем, кто любит встречать вечера у экрана телевизора, наслаждаясь любимым фильмом. Бывает, что хочется насладиться послевкусием, послушать понравившийся саундтрек и эта композиция станет отличным подарком и частью вашей коллекции на долгие времена!”

Navona Records presents SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER, an album of contemporary works for wind band performed by The United States Army Field Band. Led by Colonel Jim R Keene, the Army Field Band is the U.S. Army’s premier touring musical organization. In SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER, the Army Field Band presents music of classic American films and video games, and in doing so celebrates the stories they portray and the men and women who inspired them. Monitored and mixed in IMMERSIVE DOLBY ATMOS® (5.1.4), SURROUND (5.1), and STEREO, the album immerses the listener in a multi-dimensional soundscape that creates a deeply meaningful connection to the music and the stories it portrays.

Teaming up with some of the most-heralded composers in Hollywood—including Laura Karpman, Joshua Moshier, and Jeff Beal—the Army Field Band performs fresh arrangements of music from the 1941 Gary Cooper classic Sergeant York, the legendary Electronic Arts video game Medal of Honor, and everything in between. SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER begins with Brass Ceiling: The Journey of General Ann Dunwoody, honoring the life and work of Four Star General Ann Dunwoody who was the first woman to achieve the rank of four star general. The music is meticulously crafted with latent symbolism, such as a fanfare that portrays the movement of “supply lines” like those Dunwoody oversaw when she was in charge of the Army’s logistics.

Later we hear an arrangement of the 1917 classic, “Over There,” which became a hugely-popular anthem during both world wars; this time, it is reimagined by the Army Field Band as only they can. March from 1941,written by film-scoring legend John Williams, captures this Spielberg film’s lighthearted humor and underlying emotional gravitas. The album concludes with an unexpected treat and homage to the Skywalker Ranch, home of Skywalker Sound where the album was recorded: “The Jedi Steps and Finale” From Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens.

SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER is both a moving tribute to military heroes and a fresh look at stories and sounds of struggle and ultimate triumph. SOUNDTRACK OF THE AMERICAN SOLDIER is a unique and deeply memorable recording that is not to be missed.

Clifford – Love is Real
(Spotify)

“This song is very emotional due to its sensual vocals, beautiful instrumental touch and Indie Folk atmosphere. All these sound soft, fragile and well smoothing. Is there love? Definitely yes! Listen and enjoy!”

“Песня очень эмоциональная благодаря чувственному вокалу, красивой инструментальной составляющей и атмосфере Indie Folk. Всё это звучит мягко и красиво, хорошо сглаживая и дополняя друг друга. Существует ли любовь? Да. Однозначно! Слушайте и наслаждайтесь!”

-Nagamag.com

What motivated you to write this song?

I wanted to write an acoustic song. One that would be intimate and personal. Which of course brought me to the topic of love.

How is this song personal?

The lyrics describe my biggest hopes in a relationship.

Why did you write this song?

I wanted to express my frustrations about the difficulties of dating during a pandemic. But I also wanted to write a song that was a bit ambiguous so that anyone in a relationship would relate to the song as well.

How is it ambiguous?

The line “I need to help myself to find you”…which could be taken literally or metaphorically.

Favorite lines in the song:

“I just want to grow old with you

and tell you every day,

I love you…”

Any particular anecdotes while making this song?

I unexpectedly found myself tearing up during my favorite lines, which are the actual takes I used for the song.

What did you learn from making this song?

It’s really tough to sing softly, on key and with emotion.

What instruments did you use in this song?

Acoustic guitar, Dunun, a Bell, String Orchestra, and Vocals.

With all the love songs out there, what do you think makes “Love is Real” stand out?

Reality vs Dreaming: There are double meanings throughout the song about someone’s want for love vs the truth about love. The want for love is about the self while the truth for love is about reality.

A loving relationship is a two way street in that you can’t have a strong relationship with someone without having a strong relationship with yourself.

In a love relationship both play an important part because reality is now and dreaming is the future.

RUNAE – You’re My Wild Storm
(Spotify)

“Juicy modern mix, angelic voice and pleasant warm atmosphere. Sound elements equally occupy a music space and seems to whisper on the ear, I'm with you, I'm near. Casting melodic work!”

“Сочная, современная аранжировка, ангельский голос вокалистки и приятная, ламповая атмосфера. Музыка обволакивает, равноправно занимают музыкальное пространство и словно шепчет на ухо, - я с тобой, я рядом. Цепляющее мелодичное произведение!”

-Nagamag.com

Runae shared few words behind this song inspiration with Nagamag:

"I wrote this song myself this summer in my bedroom and home studio in Hundested in Denmark where I live. The song is about feeling attracted to the wild and tells the story about being in love with this wild person who is unpredictable but at the same time has a power over you. I am inspired by nature and like to use elements from nature in both my lyrics and visuals.

The song has a romantic soft pop mood."

Hideyuki Hashimoto – Shin
(Spotify)

“Charged with a certain mood, we hurry to close the curtains, turn on the player and plunge into the world of neoclassical music. We hear how the piano mallet gently taps on the copper strings, drops of autumn rain flow down the window one after the other, and the world seems to freeze for a moment ...”

“Зарядившись определённым настроением, торопимся задёрнуть шторы, включаем проигрыватель и погружаемся в мир неоклассической музыки. Слышим, как фортепианный молоточек нежно постукивает по медным струнам, по окну стекают одна за другой капли осеннего дождя и мир, кажется, замирает на мгновение...”

-Nagamag.com

"Shin" means something like core in Japanese. This is the fourth entry from the new solo piano series by Hideyuki Hashimoto, very warm tone melodies float freely around the core.

Alice Pisano – September
(Spotify)

“September is a wonderful reason to pour a cup of hot tea, wrap in a warm plaid and enjoy your favorite music. Piano, which pours the soul in front of his listener is a highlight of this song. The vocals here is not just present, giving life, without this track simply would not had such strong identity.”

“Сентябрь прекрасный повод, чтобы налить чашку горячего чая, закутаться в тёплый плед и насладиться любимой музыкой. Пиано, которое изливает душу перед своим слушателем, является изюминкой этой песни. Вокал здесь не просто присутствует, он является тем, без чего этого трека просто не было бы.”

Italian born, London based singer/songwriter Alice Pisano is known for her uniquely warm vocals and natural ability for writing emotive pop songs. Her passion for music flourished from a very young age, where she spent much of her time as a teenager singing in various bands and studying classical piano, guitar and singing. With the desire to create authentic music that listeners can deeply connect to, Alice’s emotional and heartfelt music touches on her own personal experiences and relationships.

https://www.instagram.com/alicepisanomusic/

Her latest heart-tugging single “September” captures the post-sunshine blues, as Alice explains, “I wanted to try and capture that bittersweet feeling that I often get towards the end of summer…and at the same time, the end of love, when you’re trying hard to forget about someone but everyone and everything reminds you of them”. The bittersweet end-of-summer anthem is produced by John Foyle (Years & Years, Maisie Peters) and driven by rich piano motifs and intimate vocals.

Sometimes less is more, and for Alice, no more than a piano and her stunning voice is enough to engross an entire room full of people. With strong chords, the dynamics ripple a reflection of emotion in the lyricism, paired with the skeletal landscape and haunting backing melodies which pour out like an angelic aura. Alice displays the power of simplicity, showing true skill as both a musician and writer.

Alice has garnered numerous Spotify editorial support, including 14 New Music Friday’s across the globe and critical acclaim from publications such as Clash and Wonderland Magazine. Amassing millions of streams for her infectious and relatable anthems, Alice’s music can be heard on radio stations wide and far, including BBC Radio London, National Dutch Radio and Amazing Radio in the UK and US. Her songs have entered the iTunes Pop Charts and the uptempo “Open Up” landed the soundtrack for the summer trailer of the British hit TV show, Hollyoaks. The acclaimed songwriter has had the pleasure of collaborating with the likes of Benjamin Francis Leftwich, Ian Barter (Dermott Kennedy, Izzy Bizu), John Foyle (Maisie Peters, Years & Years) and Troy Miller (Emeli Sandé, Jamie Cullum). Quickly becoming an artist on the rise, there is no slowing down Alice Pisano.
