Cypress – Running Like the Wind (Spotify)

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

“Bright acoustic melody, innovative, expressive mood and incredibly juicy vocals from Ben Higginbotham - all this indicates an extremely high-quality work and automatically raise it among the best of its genre.”

“Яркая акустическая мелодия, новаторские, выразительные ударные и невероятный сочный вокал Ben Higginbotham – всё это указывает на чрезвычайно качественную работу и автоматически делают её, пожалуй, лучшей в своём жанре.”

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration for this song:

"I wrote this song about being there for someone no matter where you are. Was definitely inspired initially by "You've got a Friend" by James Taylor; however, I was listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen when we produced it, so by the end it had turned into a rock n roll track."

Cypress is the indie folk, singer-songwriter project of Ben Higginbotham. Born in Dallas but based in LA, Ben was inspired by his childhood spent glued to the piano and listening to the crooning voices of Texas singer-songwriter legends like Ruthie Foster and Lyle Lovett to pursue his passion for music early on.

Shortly after graduating from Berklee College of Music in 2017, Ben created Cypress — a soulful, emotional solo project reflective of his personal and professional growth. Evoking artists like Ray LaMontagne, Ben Howard, and Hozier, Cypress’ indie folk/folk rock sound is rich and textured yet melodic and straightforward — often weaving lyric-driven stories of relationships, family and coming-of-age with a reflective and nostalgic tone. With crisp, powerful lyrics and relatable, universal themes underlying each song, Cypress’ music shines in its smooth approachability and ease of listening.

Released in November 2018, Cypress’ first EP A Fine Line was recorded and produced in Austin, TX by longtime collaborator Taylor Tatsch. Cypress’ most recent single “Take Me Back” was produced by Floyd Fuji and released in August 2020.

Samuel Joson – Queen (Spotify)

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

“Parts of live instrumentation create a unique sound that has the best of jazz music. In -Queen- we find a rather diverse rhythm section that shifts into a single sound palette; Pulsation of deep bass, soft ringing percussion and rich vocals.”

“Партии живых инструментов создают неповторимое звучание, которое впитало в себя лучшее из джазовой музыки. В -Queen- довольно разнообразная ритм-секция, которая переливается в единую палитру звуков; пульсации глубоких басов, мягкий звон перкуссии и насыщенный вокал.”

"Queen" is an infectious song with clever lyrics and catchy melodies that will get stuck in your head. A love song for those who don't believe in love. This tune is a chill vibey song that you could listen to over and over again.

Samuel Joson is a Filipino-American artist based in Minneapolis. He creates music that blends together new school pop with hints of the old school R&B and nostalgic classic rock he grew up listening to. Musically he is influenced by Queen, Stevie Wonder, and Bruno Mars.

Luis Paul – Eternal (Spotify)

“It is felt like the charming track -Eternal- is written with the flow of feelings from the very depths of the soul, in which the released artist's imagination and his illusory fantastic worlds find a point of contact. The touching piano melody makes you think about the most important things... immerses and doesn't let you go.”

“Чувствуется, как обаятельная -Eternal- написана с потоком чувств из самой глубины души, в которой освобождённое воображение автора и его иллюзорные фантастические миры находят точку соприкосновения. Трогательная мелодия фортепиано заставляет задуматься о самых важных вещах. Погружает и не отпускает.”

Artist shared few words behind his inspiration on this song"

"With this song I tried to capture 2 sides of humanity. One is more mundane: our small, individual life with all the many events, strokes of fate and people we have learned to love and let go. We think we are so important and yet everything is temporary. So big and yet so small.

The second side in us is our striving to find or bequeath something for eternity, even though we may never be able to do it. It is our longing for something or someone to remain.

Something "Eternal""

“Fabulous, warm and melodic song, whose rhythmic tango awakens the most intimate and sincere feelings. -To Komodino- can be compared with a slice of bitter chocolate or old, everlasting brandy. Real dance and holiday for soul and body!”

The nightstand is a kaleidoscope of moments and phases of our life on which we rest our thoughts and dreams, and in its drawers we keep our memories.

The nightstand reminds us to feel fullness and gratitude for the now without waiting for the ... ideal condition.

The "restless artistic rooms" in which singers, actors, musicians, dancers express themselves freely come together to lean on the same nightstand.

Το κομοδίνο είναι ένα καλειδοσκόπιο στιγμών και φάσεων της ζωής μας που πάνω του ακουμπάμε τις σκέψεις και τα όνειρα μας, και στα συρτάρια του φυλάμε τις αναμνήσεις μας.

Το κομοδίνο μας θυμίζει να νιώθουμε πληρότητα κι ευγνωμοσύνη για το τώρα χωρίς να περιμένουμε την... ιδανική συνθήκη.

Τα «ανήσυχα καλλιτεχνικά δωμάτια» στα οποία τραγουδιστές ηθοποιοί μουσικοί χορεύτριες εκφράζονται ελεύθερα ενώνονται για να ακουμπήσουν όλοι στο ίδιο κομοδίνο.

Virginio Aiello – Pigalle (Spotify)

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

“Sometimes the shadow of the night scares us with its phantoms, or surrounds us from all sides, runs throughout the body with a chilling effect and follows in our way home. The neoclassical composition -Pigalle- encloses the most warm feelings, immersing in a deep, hypnotizing state.”

“Не всегда тени в ночи пугают своими фантомами, иногда они окружают со всех сторон, пробегают по всему телу приятной прохладой и сопровождают до самого дома. Неоклассическая композиция -Pigalle- навевает самые тёплые чувства, погружая в глубокое, гипнотизирующее состояние.”

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind this song inspiration:

"So my BIGGEST love in life other than music is the woods. I grew up spending most of my time in the woods around my house and I spend a lot of my time now hiking, exploring trails and wild harvesting medicinal plants for my own benefit and for others. I love to make tinctures and oils and to be surrounded by nature, especially the woods. I have always felt that the woods are a place of safety and deep spiritual connection for me and this song is dedicated to them. It is my love song to the woods."

“In the track -Like You Do-, the composer's and performer's talent is mostly pronounced. Soft bits, acoustic instruments and fascinating vocals, which seems to hug you by the shoulders. Pour a cup of tea, open the windows and feel the smell of meadow colours.”

“В треке -Like You Do- наиболее ярко проявляется талант композитора и исполнительницы -Lennie Rayen-. Мягкий бит, акустические инструменты и завораживающий вокал, который словно обнимает вас за плечи; наливает чашечку горячего чая, открывает окна и впускает в дом запахи луговых цветов. ”

“-Easy- is a wonderful soothing background for our mind after a hard working day. The beginning is slowly moving into a chic rhythm section.

Nathan Wiley – Heatseeker (Spotify)

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

“A pleasant surprise where vocals turned out to be so sophisticated, harmonious and touching. The track itself, by the way, is also very memorable - clockwork, moderately melodic and sets the necessary pace. Excellent combination of Retro Soul and Folk genres that makes it a pleasant choice for your musical collection!”

“Приятная неожиданность, что вокал в -Heatseeker- оказался настолько утончённым, гармоничным и трогательным. Сам трек, кстати, также очень запоминающийся - заводной, в меру мелодичный и задаёт нужный темп. Прекрасное сочетание жанров Retro Soul и Folk и приятное пополнение вашей музыкальной коллекции!”

Nathan Wiley returns with 6 song EP, Modern Magic.

His most collaborative recording yet, Modern Magic features members of Halifax R&B institution the Mellotones, as well as appearances by Steve Berlin (Los Lobos), Ed Toth (The Doobie Brothers), Rob Crowell (Deer Tick), and many others.

"I never want to make the same record twice, and I started hearing this sound in my head that was less about guitars, and more about synths and horns," said Nathan Wiley (he/him). "I was lucky enough to work with some musical friends that I've made throughout my career on this new record and I couldn't be happier with the experience."

Focus track “Heatseeker” is the story of a harmless crush on a teacher through the eyes of a young boy. The horn intro and sparse drums open the EP, and help set the tone sonically for the musical direction of the recording.

"Some of this is me in elementary school,” said Wiley. “My school seemed rough and dangerous, like a whole new world. The melody came first, and when the words started coming out, this teacher character that all the kids made up stories about appeared."

Recorded between Halifax, NS and Summerside, PE, the new recording explores themes like magic, love, lust and narcissism. Modern Magic is out now on all platforms.
