“A relentless banger that grabs from the first moment and never lets go. Great contrast between gritty synth sounds over intense beats and violins that give way to uplifting vocals. A club tailored, sonic beast that doesn’t sacrifice emotion and knows very well how to dose tension and release.”

Leo Einaudi x Giulia Vallisari – Let It Burn
(Spotify)

“Leo Einaudi and Giulia Vallisari have successfully married acoustic Folk with their softly echoing vocals, in a song that blooms like a late Spring flower. Friendly strings of guitar, setting the scene for your personal relaxation moments, while looking the Sun setting down the horizon.”

-Nagamag.com

Warming single Let It Burn is a simple song blending acoustic folk accompaniment with soft, comforting vocals by Leo Einaudi and Giulia Vallisari.

As a duo, Leo Einaudi and Giulia Vallisari experiment with familiar tones through an array of songs and instrumentals.

Singer, composer and musician Giulia Vallisari spans from smooth, sultry jazz and personal songs in her native Italian language to the atmospheric crossover recordings of her indie-electronica band project Caveleon with fellow band member Leo Einaudi.

With similar eclectic interests including cinema, theatre, multimedia and live performance, Leo Einaudi follows a lineage stemming from contemporary piano and classical composition, and expanding across guitar instrumentals and songwriting. From his family home in Milan, Leo developed his skills in collaboration with his father Ludovico on a wealth of record-breaking projects while also progressing his own dynamic sound encompassing classical scoring through intimate tones and powerful evolving waves, rock-influenced electronic tone poems and cinematic songscapes with guitar tones and moody vocals.

The duo have an adaptive style sometimes reminiscent of Radiohead and Maribou State, sometimes inhabiting the realm of contemporary classical crossover, sometimes with the subtle songwriting influences of The Beatles and sometimes something totally different.

Dezvelkito – U make me wanna cry
(Spotify)

“Some perfect situations in life, may not last for long and -indeed- vanish like dust in the wind. In the same way "Dezvelkito" had his heart suddenly broken and shares that bitter feeling with his audience. Whether you have been in the same position or not, this elegant Reggae song won't leave you unaffected.”

Uscla Johnny Desarmes aka Dezvelkito, is a peaceful indie r&b New Jersey, USA-based producer, filmmaker, writer and singer-songwriter, who makes that thoughtful music, that he uses to help the world breathe and think about the positive vibrations.

The song is about the agony of trust. When, one moment you’re in love with someone and, in a matter of a minute it’s all gone! It’s pretty sad and hurtful. In the tale of “U make me wanna cry” Dezvelkito takes us on an empathetic, vocally seduced “lovers rock” reggae vibes to express the pain of a man losing his fiancé to another lover without having any foreseen difficulty in the relationship. The sound of Dezvelkito’s vocal deliverance of the turmoil and confusion engulf the listener to see themselves in the position of their hearts in limbo and to accept that sometime, love is just over.

Alta Falls – Trust Me
(Spotify)

“Hope and dreams with a wide angled view of emotions. Broad harmonic landscape with modern twists that embrace a forward movement in music. Rich in tonal complexity with top notch production. The layering is very mature and well balanced. ”

-Nagamag.com

‘Trust Me’ combines masterful lyricism packed with double entendres with a newfound sense of conviction, building on Alta Falls’ debut EP, ‘The Fire’. The track takes you through a narrative of its own, not just through the lyrics but with the instrumentals which rise and fall with the peaks of the story — eventually culminating to a frenetic yet flawless keyboard line.

The lyrics on ‘Trust Me’ were inspired after a bittersweet trip to the 2017 AFL Grand Final. “My team, the Adelaide Crows, were in their first grand final after almost 20 years, and my hopes were riding high to achieve a childhood dream of watching them win a flag,” explains lead singer, Nathanael. “Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. And although it was a heartbreaking result there are still plenty of fond memories, including taking in the post-match The Killers concert along with the other half of Alta Falls, Matt.”

The duo has continued working with producer Aidan Hogg (Jaguar Jonze, Holy Holy) for the new single, as well as Sebastian 'Baz' Jennings Hingston (Tia Gostelow) on drums.

Alta Falls may have released their debut EP only a matter of months ago, but they aren’t slowing down any time soon. Rumour has it a new EP is already in the works, and if ‘Trust Me’ is anything to go by, it’s bound to be an electro-pop delight, packed with that Alta Falls synthy charm.

Joonas – Psycho Ex-boyfriend
(Spotify)

“Something about that funky natural bassline that just pulled us in. The horn section is rich with texture and the electronic overtones contribute to a great tapestry of sound. Clever vocals with a poetic twist complete this very well. ”

-Nagamag.com

Joonas debut single “Psycho Ex-Boyfriend” makes you feel like the villain and the main character at the same time. It was written in a moment of crazy caused by being isolated in the snow cowered mountains of Norway and reflects upon how far you would go for someone you love. With its retro disco inspired synth-pop sound and unconventional themes, it perfectly reflects who Joonas is as an artist; himself.

Kara Cole – 3 Weeks
(Spotify)

“In Folk atmosphere and bittersweet mood, "Kara Cole" tells a story about losing her love. Feelings of despair and nostalgia float in the air in a mix of loose acoustic guitar chords. Actually nothing lasts forever and we should always expect the unexpected.”

-Nagamag.com

3 Weeks is a story of heartbreak. The pleading of wanting to know why but not asking because it's a moot point. The story takes you on a journey of what you go through when you are losing someone you thought was forever but they've moved on and you can't.
