Chris Wirsig, Daniel E. Wakefield – Time Running (Spotify)

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

“Sensual vocal pleasure, an ensemble from the living orchestra which in the aggregate will break your heart in pieces, which was too far to captivate with the body. -Time Running- fills with warm sensations that smoothly cool and create a chilling wave of goosebumps under your skin.”

“Чувственное наслаждение от вокала, ансамбля из живого оркестра, что в совокупности разобьёт ваше сердце на пазлы, которое слишком долго был в плену тела. -Time Running- наполняет тёплыми ощущениями, которые плавно остывают и создают прохладную волну мурашек под кожей.”

Inspired by the series "Outlander," Daniel E. Wakefield and Chris Wirsig wrote a hauntingly beautiful, poetic song that captures Scottish and Americana elements. "Time Running" conveys the eternal longing you feel when standing on the cliffs of Scotland or standing in the vast plains of the American heartland. A cinematic experience.

Milky – I Miss You Mum (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|Tags: , , , , |

“Big musical enjoyment coming from such a mental name. -I Miss You Mum- sounds so deep inside and also creates an ideal combination of sounds among themselves. Like an elite drink of balm, which you try with small sips and enjoy its taste.”

“Настоящее наслаждение музыкальным напиткам под таким душевным названием. -I Miss You Mum- звучит так глубоко внутри, что создаёт идеальную комбинацию и сочетание звуков между собой. Словно бальзам из элитного напитка, который вы пьёте маленькими глотками и наслаждаетесь его вкусом.”

-Nagamag.com

Up and coming rap artist Milky is using his unique musical talents to reach out to anyone who has lost a parent with his new, emotional debut song ‘I Miss You Mum’, releasing on Monday 7th June.

In his new track, Milky shares a heartfelt insight into life without his mum. His impactful lyrics describe the grief and pain that he has dealt with since losing her, but also the warmth and protection he has felt from her presence in difficult times, particularly during his recovery from a long-term battle with drug and alcohol addiction.

“I’ve always wanted to write a song for my mum after losing her when I was seven years old,” says Milky, “but I never even started until after I got out of rehab.

“Now I’m clean and sober, I’ve dealt with it for the first time in my life, emotionally. I didn’t get counseling when I was a kid and maybe I should have had that. My life spiraled out of control, I was pushed and pulled from pillar to post by family members. It was a hard time and all I wanted was that one person to give me a hug, and that was my mum.”

Milky is passionate about reaching out to people who have been through the same struggles as him. His eclectic and free-flowing style pairs perfectly with the range of stories he tells in his music, taking inspiration from the things he’s seen and the things he’s been through. He calls ‘I Miss You Mum’ the most powerful song he’s ever written.

“This song is for anyone that’s lost a parent, or someone close to them, that needed that guidance.” Says Milky.

“When your parents pass, they will always be with you everywhere you go and I know that now. I lost my dad as well when I was in rehab and I can feel him with me all the time, especially during the dark times when I’m alone. I can feel something there.

“This song has helped me turn negative to positive and I just want to let the world know about my mum and make her as proud as I possibly can. Through this song and this video, my mum will be seen.”

‘I Miss You Mum’ is out now through We Are Not Saints - a record label working exclusively with artists in recovery - and available on over 150 streaming platforms including Spotify, Itunes, Amazon Music, Youtube, and Deezer.

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

“Nagamag would like to immediately praise the author for his professional approach in creating this track. Sound, arrangement, vocals, everything in the right place. - (Love Like A) Teenage- very suitable to remember all the good and bad things in life, to make the right conclusions, and the hopelessness of the nebula remain in the distant past.”

“Сразу хочется похвалить автора за его профессиональный подход в создании этого трека. Звук, аранжировка, вокал, всё на своих местах. -(Love Like A) Teenage- очень хорошо подходит, чтобы вспомнить все хорошие и плохие события в жизни, сделать правильные выводы и всю безнадежную туманность оставить в далёком прошлом.”

-Nagamag.com

With his new single, a 90s-pop-infused summer-banger, Asbjørn once again proves his Scandinavian pop to be as inventive as it is catchy. Disguised as a one-man-boyband, Asbjørn lures you in with orchestral stabs and an infectious sing-along refrain - but I bet you’ve never heard a key-change quite like this. ‘(Love Like A) Teenager’ is accompanied by a secret music video, also teased in last months visuals for the first single Young Dumb Crazy.

https://youtu.be/qT9Z4xRgpww

The video turns back time to 2016, where the video was filmed - but never released - and is an exclusive gift to Asbjørn’s fans, who pre-save the song or sign up for his newsletter.

Since the beginning of his career, Asbjørn has explored gender and identity on stage, his lyrics and music videos. Striving to “be the male ideal I desperately needed myself when I was a teenager”, Asbjørn also tours schools in his native Denmark, combining an infectious live show with student dialogues to talk about ideals in the mainstream. He says: “I don’t care what society considers masculine, but I sure did back then. I want to create a space where they can express their identity, sexuality and feelings freely.”

In the coming weeks, Asbjørn will explore these matters further as a guest contributor at Germany’s leading music and culture magazine, KALTBLUT. Under the title POPTOPIA, Asbjørn will host a series of interviews on Kaltblut and Instagram Live, discussing identity and pop culture with prominent guests from both in and outside the music industry. The first instalment of POPTOPIA features the British rapper James Indigo, and will be announced via Asbjørn’s socials and Kaltblut.

‘(Love Like A) Teenager’ is released on Wednesday the 2nd of June and is Asbjørn’s second single from his forthcoming LP BOYOLOGY, due to be released later this year via Embassy of Music and his imprint Body of Work.
