“Love the reverse sound from the beginning that serve as an intro to that lush piano themes a his beautiful vocal. Not sure what I like the most, piano themes or his voice, just a perfect blend. Drum parts are perfect, adding more layers towards the end, perfectly produced. ”

Acclaimed singer-songwriter and piano virtuoso Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain, plunging into life’s hardest moments with his upcoming single and video for “Crazy”.

Working alongside producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers), a hauntingly beautiful ballad called “Crazy” was born – a deeply reflective, desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. Stefano’s achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability reaches deep into our psyche for a lingering expression of cathartic lament.

Stefano uses his rich background as a classically trained pianist to pair this vocally driven piece with a dim and distorted piano hook. We watch Stefano grapple with isolationism and the ghosts of his past as he journeys across abandoned beaches, lonely rooftops, and the solitude of his bedroom in this contemplative music video. Upon writing this track, May notes: “In everyone’s life, there is a moment when words cannot convey the gravity of a troubling situation to another. The power and beauty of music builds connection and closes this gap.” May has received acclaim from the likes of CNN, Ladygunn, Earmilk, GLAAD, Celebmix and Great Day Live to name a few.

Enough with isolation and solitude, what we need is happiness!

It’s in this spirit that Caracol and Mike Clay (from band Clay & Friends) got together to write Infinity, a true ode to freedom. With beatmakers Quiet Mike (Fouki) and Seb Ruban (Studio de l’Est) they created a cheerful hymn to adventure that is sure to bring a smile to your face. With a catchy melody laid over a fresh beat, they managed to capture the essence of Montreal’s hot summer vibe ! With one clear goal in mind: to make crowds dance and elevate them to a state of absolute feel-good !

Infinity is the 1st single from Caracol’s upcoming English album (to be released March 2023 via Kartel/Sony Music Canada).

“Crystal vocals with big chord piano and guitar parts. Sounds like an anthem of sorts, I can feel the crowed going mad with this one when played. I t have a lot of subtle parts, that can be used in many different styles, different versions, love when song opens the door of another interpretation, it is inspirational for a musician and a producer. ”

Empowering multi-platinum singer songwriter Mimoza returns with a new single. Entitled “Madly”, the romantic pastel-dipped pop anthem explores self-love, knowing your worth, and never settling for second best. “Madly” encompasses an intense array of deep emotions such as pain, heart, and strength all in one record. Featuring emotive piano chords and swelling synths under Mimoza’s striking melodies and signature soul-drenched vocals, “Madly” is the perfect soundtrack of self love.

Self love has always been a huge topic close to Mimoza’s heart. With her last big record “Young Queen”, she honored her roots and mother who raised her to think highly of herself. These important values pertaining to self love and respect are once again accentuated in “Madly”. Mimoza, who directed and produced the stunning music video for “Maldy” takes modern romance to another level.

On the video, Mimoza confides, “My concept for the video was ‘modern romance.’ I think we often romanticize how beautiful life would be if that one person fell in love with us but what if we romanticized falling in love with ourselves first?” Mimoza teaches us to still wear a crown, even with a broken heart and shows us once again that the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves.

Mimoza is signed to Universal Music Group and has over 100 million streams across platforms. She further co-wrote the multi-platinum Billboard charting single “Kings & Queens” by Ava Max.

JORDI UP LATE – HOAX

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

“It starts great, with beautiful electronics, melodies and themes, such a good drive, with a lot of retro synth sequences and just as a amazing vocals on top of everything. Modern but with a huge homage to the old electronic music. ”

Today, LA-based electropop artist & producer Jordi Up Late is back with a brand new single entitled “HOAX.”

Speaking on her latest track, she wrote:

“I’ve never thought of myself as a particularly sweet or bubbly person. I get moody and I get annoyed and I need space. So when I found myself in a relationship with a happy go lucky type, the personality imbalance created a creeping disillusionment. The tension festered over time into my feeling he was either fake or emotionally one dimensional. Either way the relationship became a ‘hoax’ and disintegration was inevitable.

The lyrics and concept flowed easily after I created the synth riff and the backbone of the song. After producing the rest of the track, I brought on BRUX, an electronic powerhouse, to co-produce and bring it home.Then I passed it on to Amy Dragon to master. From conception to finish, ‘HOAX’ is a female-engineered single.”

Jordi Up Late recently signed with WRKSHP, a new music-based lifestyle company kickstarted by Multi-Platinum, Grammy-Winning producer Che Pope and serial entrepreneur Dan Gilbert, headquartered in Detroit. She is set to release more new music this year.
