Atlanta-based Health and Fitness Pop trio 3D The Boss have announced their debut full-length album “Push It”, out on all platforms April 15, 2021. Stylistically, these seasoned musicians effortlessly combine their 70’s and 80’s funk and r&b inspirations with modern pop and electro elements for a potent signature sound.

Most pop, funk & r&b projects intend for their audiences to get moving, but with 3D The Boss it’s practically mandatory. Described by visionary Saint Day Adeogba as ‘music to raise your frequency to a higher level’, the music on “Push It” is not only energetic, but it’s infused with meaning and spirit as it encourages the listener to live a healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re working out with the band during one of their live performances or just listening to the album, the songs stand on their own, each with it’s own distinct groove. I.M.P’s recommendations are “BBGG”, “Push It”, “Go”, and the left field self-confidence anthem “Do My Dance”.

The Shadowboxers | FLOAT ON BY | Official Lyric Video
(Video)

“Classified as Synthwave ‘Float On Bye’ is actually a catchy, foot tapping, head nodding, hip shaking, blend of a multitude of genres. The lyrics are deep & cover the absurdity of inevitable results regardless of the desire to effect ones karma. A great tune that will get you hooked by verse two.”

“Float On By” Quote: “Float On By is a rumination on the unavoidable paradoxes of life and the anxiety of worrying about these things we can’t control. It’s the idea that ambition is ego. The moment you stop trying, you finally get what you need. So you might as well float in the river of life” – Adam Hoffman of The Shadowboxers

ALBUM QUOTE: “We’ve spent a decade in search of our identity, meandering our way through different styles and genres in hopes of landing on something that all three of us can see ourselves in. This is the album where we found it. We locked ourselves in the studio and didn’t come out until all three of us felt like we’d communicated our visions and seen them through. Just us. No one else. No one to hide behind or pass the ball to. We fought, we compromised, we faced issues that had been building up for a decade. And we came out on the other side with The Slow March of Time Flies By, our most honest work to date.” – Scott Tyler of The Shadowboxers

Like his partner on the track ‘Lady Liberty,’ the young emcee fell in love with acting and pursued his stage career in NYC, where he eventually met his long time friend and partner in lyricism, Adduci...

Val Dorantes – High

“The track opens with a gentle lilting female vocal with piano accompaniment, before becoming quite rhythmic and deeply emotional and melodic. Expressing the age old subject of the world through the eyes of a jilted lover.

Blaise feat. Poppy Baskcomb – Moments (Acoustic Version)
(Video)

“Fascinating acoustic magic which captured our attention from the first play. “Blaise” knowns how to transform sound into art and the singing talent of “Poppy Baskcomb” rises the overall level of creation. Sophisticated song that you shouldn’t skip!”

-Nagamag.com

https://orcd.co/blaise-moments-acoustic

Gaining massive momentum for his single ‘Moments’ Blaise surprises fans with the acoustic stripped back version of his 2021 release, which premiered exclusively via Wonderland. The tastemaker publication praises the depth of the single: ‘Leaving behind the dance floor-ready Balearic tones on the original, the acoustic version captures the true meaning behind the single, letting us hone in on every powerful lyric and tonal change.’

The acoustic video follows off the back of his floorfiller, ‘Moments’, which has to date earned a wide range of support from Radio 1 by Rickie, Melvin and Charlie, as well as DJ Pioneer and Joel Corry on KISS FM.

Possessing a cantering bassline, Balearic tones and an exceptional drop that climaxes on every hook, the marriage of BLAISE’s production with Poppy Baskcomb’s powerful, soul driven lyrics is one of sheer dancefloor heaven. Reaching into the emotions stirred by the current world situation, the lyrics for ‘Moments’ allows the mind to escape and enjoy the feeling of good vibes and freedom.

BLAISE explains “This song for me is one of my personal favourites to date. The words reflect the moment of the current world situation. With Poppy’s soulful voice, catchy vocals and melody, I’m very excited about this release.”

The British DJ and producer, who relocated to the world’s most elite party destination to take up 2 DJ residency’s last year, is already a major name on the club circuit. Having previously toured the world as a DJ for the home of dance music, Ministry of Sound, he has also featured extensively across radio, including Kiss FM, with his exclusive guest mixes. With a sound that is classic and infectious, his previous productions have released on renowned dance labels including DVINE Sounds, Stashed & Todd Terry’s Inhouse Records and garnered extensive support across Radio 1’s Dance Anthems and the Kiss network. Prior to his current collaboration with 22-year-old Poppy Baskcomb, BLAISE has also teamed up with Alex Mills, Karen Harding & Azello, and is under the management of music mogul & hit record writer Jin Jin (Jax Jones, Jess Glynne, David Guetta)

Adding her incredible musical flair and a powerful dimension to BLAISE’s production on ‘Moments’, singer/songwriter Poppy Baskcomb perfectly twins powerful melodic ideas with inventive lyrical concepts. “This song is about those moments where you stop in the crowd and take in the euphoria around you. Moments I’m sure we all miss currently.” says Poppy about the track, before continuing, “Hopefully you’ll enjoy this song, as much as we enjoyed making it. I’ll see you all soon with a drink in hand and we can dance to this, when clubs reopen.”

Since signing to TaP Music Publishing in 2018, she’s been writing in the UK, Sweden and Norway with recent collaborations including Punctual, Nathan Dawe, Ella Henderson, Mel C, Dimension, Conor Maynard, KALM and Eli Brown.

A track destined for virality and sound systems the world over, BLAISE and Poppy Baskcomb deliver us ‘Moments’ not to be missed.

The High Breed – Forgiveness (Video)

The High Breed – Forgiveness
(Video)

“Highly affecting Hip-Hop song with hidden power and deep meaning. The word “forgiveness” is usually connected with self-evaluation and error admiting. A useful message can be found in the lyrics here and this kind of music can really teach us how to behave better. Well done!”

-Nagamag.com

UK-based hip-hop collective The High Breed make their return to the scene with new single “Forgiveness”, their first release of 2021. The track showcases the collective’s unique hip-hop style, effortlessly blending conscious, relatable lyricism with hypnotic, trap-infused production alongside cinematic visuals that will no doubt captivate the audience. Having gained traction with a string of releases last year, such as “Star Dwellers” and “Meet the Gods”, and receiving support from BBC Introducing, the independent DIY collective are set to continue their momentum with this latest release.

“Forgiveness” starts with an organ-inspired synth that instantly connects you to the song’s biblical theme, with the rolling drums and piercing hi-hats giving the song the punch it needs to deliver its weighty philosophical message. Speaking more on the track, The High Breed say, “‘Forgiveness’ is an honest dialogue about what forgiveness truly means to the individual who has done wrong in a world full of self-denial. It is an expression and an acceptance of the ‘shadow self’, a vulnerable confession about the darker nature of our humanity and a poetic discourse on the morality of the human soul, highlighting the battle between virtue and temptation that no person throughout any age has ever been free from.”

Driving in their own lane, The High Breed are a much-welcomed addition to the conscious hip-hop scene and are clearly a force to be reckoned with both lyrically and visually. And with much more to come this year from the fast-rising collective, The High Breed will surely be an act to watch out for. “Forgiveness” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://lnk.to/TheHighBreedForgiveness

Sara De Sanctis – Serendipity (Spotify)

Sara De Sanctis – Serendipity
(Spotify)

“A sentimental journey taken by a sweet & soulful vocal accompanied by piano with a soft strings backing. Serendipity by Sara De Sanctis is a deeply melancholic play on denial. In that everything said is the opposite from the emotions actually experienced. A beautiful, clever song & a classy performance.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words with Nagamag behind this song inspiration"

"I am particularly attached to Serendipity. I wrote it at 5 am after a sleepless night, and the words came out easily. It's about remembrance and denial, it's about rejecting all those thoughts and memories that keep you awake at night. I started singing the melody before rushing to a piano to actually write it down. I remember that at that time I was taking a class in Sondheim's musical analyses, and I believe I was strongly influenced by his songs. One, in particular, was 'The Road You Didn't Take', where everything said in the lyrics is a lie. And that's how I thought about my lyrics." - Sara De Sanctis

https://www.facebook.com/unplayedkey

Born in 1995 in Italy, Sara De Sanctis started playing the piano when she was five years old and became passionate about songwriting and composition during her teenage years. She achieved a Conservatoire Piano Diploma in Italy and in 2017 she graduated in Music at the University of Bristol, after having studied composition and conducting at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, USA. She is currently active as a pianist, singer/songwriter, and composer for media. Inspired by artists such as Aurora, Diana Krall, and Thom Yorke, her style can be defined as a mix of pop and jazz, and it is characterised by soft vocals, evocative piano melodies, and airy synths.
