Nina Schofield – Who Is She?
(Video)

“Virtuoso, interesting and very atmospheric. In places, there is a feeling of full improvisation, which makes everyone happy. Variety of instrumental composition, etiquette and enchanting vocals from -Nina Schofield-. Great energetic music, to fix your mood!”

“Виртуозно, интересно и очень атмосферно. Местами, возникает ощущение полной импровизации, что весьма радует слух. Разнообразие инструментальной составляющей, поэтичности и очаровательный вокал -Nina Schofield-. Очень энергичная музыка, посыл которой вдохновлять и поднимать настроение!”

Following the release of her last single ‘Not Perfect Now’ in January this year, Nina Schofield returns with a brand new punchy, synth-pop number ‘Who Is She’ due this Autumn.

Detailing the fallout of a partner cheating in a relationship, ‘Who Is She’ fuses Nina’s hazy layered vocal effects, over a thumping bass line and emotive lyrics that builds momentum into a soaring chorus of heartache and confusion.

Nina says: “’Who Is She’ was a really unique writing experience for me because I started out with a sample synth and didn’t have a clear idea of where the song would go. This one sample triggered a thousand ideas in my head and I quickly created the initial production for the track which left room for the melody to evolve. I began thinking about how I would react to losing trust in a relationship and all the ways I’d process that and pretty soon the lyrics and the melody began to form side by side. This isn’t a situation I’ve been through personally but I’ve seen my friends go through similar heartache and I couldn’t help but want to write about it and try and understand and process the emotion. Matthew Fisher then came on board and helped bring the finished song to life – it was really fun approaching songwriting and production in a completely different way as it’s super important to me to keep pushing myself outside of my comfort zone when it comes to writing songs.”

For those of you still unsure of Nina Schofield’s credentials, here’s a reminder…with an 100,000 strong audience on her Youtube channel, a no.4 iTunes singer/songwriter chart hit, nominations for Best Female Artist on both sides of the Atlantic (Best of British Music Awards and the Hollywood Music in Media Awards), live appearances at the Montreux Jazz Festival, sold out tours across the UK supporting the likes of Nell Bryden and BBC show winning band Sons of Pitches, co writing and featuring on the electronic hit ‘Lift You Up’ with Aurosonic & Frainbreeze, being head hunted by Dutch Pop/R&B band Romeo to join them on their sell out come-back show and a number 1 dance record in Slovakia with Vintage and Morelli.

Added to which, she co-wrote and co-worked with Oscar, Grammy and Golden Globe winners and nominees with a striking list of names such as Morrisey’s Richard Niles, Gabrielle Aplin’s Tom Wilding and Tina Turner’s Steve DuBerry. Her single ‘Imaginary Love’ was chosen as Record Of The Day and supported by BBC radio stations across the UK. Top that off with a highly acclaimed single ‘My Life’ written in Stockholm with FMLY STHLM (Robyn/One Direction) and the release of her follow up singles ‘Thriving’ and ‘Ghost’ and it’s clear to see you have a recipe for pop success.

2019 saw the release of Nina’s song ‘The Gift’ which resulted in her featured live performance in the BBC Richard Gere drama ‘MotherFatherSon’ which has since been broadcast globally. Nina’s focus now remains on her writing, producing and Youtube career as well as continuing her work with chart toppers all over the world.

Oblivion Orchestra – ‘Oh Oblivion’
(Video)

“In this slow Indie Folk single, we had the chance to experience some magic pad-like effects in addition to guitar chords and emotional singing. The artist has taken advantage of his own style, which is quite elegant too.”

-Nagamag.com

Artist shared few words behind his new lp and and his project:

Scene to Scene, the new LP from New York, NY songwriter Josh Allen can be a bit disorienting on first blush. Sheets of buzzing texture shift in and out of focus, while plaintive vocals pierce the veil and plunge straight to the heart of vulnerable humanity.

You could call it a concept album, but Oblivion Orchestra’s writer, singer, arranger and only member Allen might bristle at the term. Less a concept and more an act of creative necessity, it is still the case that the only instrument played on the record beyond one guitar and voice is cello. Yet, that one instrument is broken fully out of preconceived notions of its sound. Each track on Scene to Scene features layers upon layers of the cello, sometimes up to twenty or more; strummed, screeched, run through reverbs, knocked on, bowed and manipulated, weaving their way around the stark core of each song.

While working as a film composer and sound designer, the cello first came to Allen through a documentary film. ‘I was asked to score a documentary, and when they sent me the temp music, it was all cello” he explains. “I couldn’t play cello, and, because of that, I developed this way of working where I layer different performances together, running the signal through an old guitar amp. Eventually it took on a sound all its own.”

Forcing himself to work with these self-imposed constraints proved an inspiration. The layering and listening required in sound design, the way that music and the different textures of ambient sound wrap around the dialogue in a film, has had a profound effect on Allen’s approach to his original music. “I did break the rules a couple of times, though” he admits. “There is an occasional tambourine, or a shaker. On one track two bottles clink together.” Allen recorded the songs quickly, while still brand new to him, sometimes while the ink was still drying on the last lyrics.

Written and recorded at his home in Manhattan, Allen began each track by framing out the core of what, arguably, are indie folk tunes. As the cello textures swirled into the mix, the songs began to swing and sway, the focus becoming deeply blurred at times, and then intensely sharpened, sometimes within a single line. Once the tracking was complete, Allen enlisted Alan Weatherhead (MaryTimony, Sparklehorse) to master the record.

The process of creating Scene to Scene was both courage and cathartic for Allen, at turns satisfying and stupefying. “Lyrically, I suppose it’s an introspective record, but that introspection can get a bit foggy sometimes” says Allen. “I don’t think I can explain it really. I was thinking about making a record where things come in and out of focus… for the singer, and for the listener. Between being blurry and being clear, or maybe between conscious and unconscious. How would it sound, if the singer himself is trying to find his way among his own stories?”

Rheo Uno – Senorita
(Video)

“Fresh and hot like fire vibe in Electro Pop style. The UK artist has raised the temperature even higher with her sensual singing voice and lyrics with surely attractive mood. “Senorita” is a real bomb.”

-Nagamag.com

UK born singer songwriter Rheo, is poised to announce a brand new song ‘Señorita’ due for release this October.

Following on from the success of her recent singles, ‘Show Me’ and ‘Wife Me’ (feat rapper Chxmpion) which were very well supported by BBC Music Introducing East Midlands and BBC Radio Leicester; described as “phenomenal, pop at its very, very finest”.

‘Señorita’ marks a shift in tempo for the rising pop star, showcasing elements of Rheo’s emotive, soulful side; fusing hazy pop leaning tendencies over intimate, unfiltered lyricism. The end product marks her as an artist to watch out for.

She says: “I wanted to channel as much sexual tension as I could into a song; you know in the films when they’re in a club, dancing, sweaty and ridiculously sensual? I wanted Senorita to be the soundtrack for something like that.”

She goes on: “To me, as soon as you hear a Latino beat, it puts you in that sultry, sensuous mood; so thats how we ended up with that vibe, and hey, Tequila is my fave shot so it was a no brainier to drop in the mix”.

Rheo is no stranger to the music scene having been a featured vocalist on many dance/pop anthems, she has now stepped up to release her own evocative and commercially focused music. Her song writing and top line skills blend sublimely with her ability to create catchy melodies, which all combine to deliver a story, influenced by relatable issues such as female empowerment, relationships, gender and equality

Rheo tell us: “I started relatively late to song writing at about 17, I just didn’t think I could do it, it was something other people could do, not me. So what I put out was heavily influenced by the people I was working with, and consequently I didn’t relate to it and therefore why should anyone else? But now, working with Charles (Drew) from Monarchy Music, we have just clicked creatively, and the material is coming thick and fast. I’m loving what I’m producing, it feels connected to me, my thoughts, friendships, relationships and I’m proud of how it sounds. I’m listening to myself on repeat, which is an absolute first for me.”

Working together with her new production team has helped Rheo develop her distinctive sound, which has been influenced by the likes of Dua Lipa, Becky Hill, Raye and Jessie Ware to name a few.

‘Señorita’ is part of a clutch of singles scheduled for release over the coming months, offering listeners a taste of what Rheo Uno has to offer.

Joakim Daal – Shelter
(Spotify)

“An incomparable composition! The text reveals all feelings - from joy to pain. It is amazing how such works touch the souls of people. Rich sound, a bit of jazz, folk, rustle of percussion and so touching vocals of -Joakim Daal-.Generating feelings that will never leave you.”

“Бесподобная композиция! Текст раскрывает все чувства — от радости до боли. Поразительно, как подобные произведения трогают души людей. Богатый, насыщенный звук, немного джаза, фолка, шелест перкуссии и простой, но такой трогательный вокал -Joakim Daal-. Чувства, которые не покинут вас никогда.”

Shelter is a timelessly beautiful debut single from Helsinki based Finnish-American Joakim Daal. His music uniquely combines 2020s art pop, folk indie, 60s cool jazz, poetry and a cinematic touch. The effect is crowned by Daal’s classic, soft singing voice.

Shelter sounds like Chet Baker, Kings Of Convenience and Bon Iver came together to craft a late night gem. The fragile yet warmly familiar melodies flow around the pulse of a sophisticatedly off-kilter rhythm.

“Shelter explores the confines of the intimate, sometimes difficult yet expansive world that two people can create with the passing of enough time - where alternately the smallest aggravations can snowball into a barely contained torrent while the most tectonic shifts and difficult events that test the foundations, ultimately solidify this world and perhaps even dissipate.” - offers Daal about his debut single.

Joakim Daal grew up in the suburbs of New York with his Finnish parents. Although he studied jazz and classical music in his youth, he only began to consider creating music of his own after moving to Montréal in the early 2010’s for university. In Montréal, Daal became acquainted with the burgeoning DIY pop community that had grown around the Lab Synthèse art collective. Experiencing the vastly diverse approaches to self-expression explored by various artists, helped Daal break free from his preconceived notions; to experiment with creating his own meaningful spaces and aesthetic experiences. After years of patiently brewing, this inspiration finally takes form in the debut single, Shelter.

Shelter was written, produced and recorded by Daal himself, mixed by Jarno Takkumäki (the artist behind Lac Belot) and mastered by the multiple Grammy Award winning Greg Calbi and Steve Fallone. Calbi and Fallone’s lengthy discography includes classic albums by Taylor Swift, John Lennon, Big Thief, Bon Iver, Paul Simon and Bruce Springsteen. The drums feature The Holy band's Eero Jääskeläinen while the layered woodwinds were performed by the saxophonist, Jussi Hurskainen.
