“Lead vocal creates wonderful and catchy atmosphere and cello in the background layers that feeling so well. Very addictive harmonic structure, especially with smooth guitar themes and trumpet moment that makes wonderful transition in the middle of the song. ”

“Το Lead Vocal δημιουργεί υπέροχη και πιασάρικη ατμόσφαιρα και τσέλο στα στρώματα υποβάθρου που αισθάνονται τόσο καλά. Πολύ εθιστική αρμονική δομή, ειδικά με ομαλά θέματα κιθάρας και τη στιγμή της τρομπέτας που κάνει υπέροχη μετάβαση στη μέση του τραγουδιού.”

“La voz principal crea una atmósfera y un violonchelo maravilloso en las capas de fondo que se sienten tan bien. Estructura armónica muy adictiva, especialmente con temas de guitarra suaves y momento de trompeta que hace una transición maravillosa en el medio de la canción.”

Wuzy Bambussy – What Became of You? | Jazz music review

Categories: Audio, Features, Jazz, Jazz Features, Music, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Review (RU-EN-EL), Soul, Spotify Playlist - Jazz by Nagamag|

“Мелодия этой джазовой композиции с элементами soul служит связующей нитью повествования; размышление о течении времени, неопределенности жизни и изменениях. Тонкая и эмоциональная вокальная подача -Wuzy Bambussy- прекрасно передаёт сложные эмоции, заложенные в тексте. Повсюду проявляется пристальное внимание к деталям: слои звука искусно сплетены вместе, образуя звуковой гобелен. Плавные переходы между секциями и тщательно продуманные гармонии — все это создает очень приятную атмосферу.”

-Nagamag.com

“The melody of this jazz composition with Soul elements serves as a binder of the story of the narrative; Thinking about the course of time, the uncertainty of life and changes. The thin and emotional vocal feed -wzy bambussy- perfectly conveys the complex emotions laid in the text. Close attention to the details manifests itself everywhere: the layers of sound are skillfully woven together, forming sound tapestry. Smooth transitions between sections and carefully thought out harmony – all this creates a very pleasant atmosphere.”

-Nagamag.com

“Η μελωδία αυτής της σύνθεσης τζαζ με τα Soul Elements χρησιμεύει ως συνδετικό υλικό της ιστορίας της αφήγησης. Σκεπτόμενος για την πορεία του χρόνου, την αβεβαιότητα της ζωής και των αλλαγών. Η λεπτή και συναισθηματική φωνητική ζωοτροφή -Wzy bambussy – μεταφέρει τέλεια τα σύνθετα συναισθήματα που τοποθετούνται στο κείμενο. Η ιδιαίτερη προσοχή στις λεπτομέρειες εκδηλώνεται παντού: τα στρώματα του ήχου είναι επιδέξια υφασμένα μαζί, σχηματίζοντας την ταπετσαρία ήχου. Οι ομαλές μεταβάσεις μεταξύ των τμημάτων και η προσεκτικά μελετημένη αρμονία – όλα αυτά δημιουργούν μια πολύ ευχάριστη ατμόσφαιρα.”

What Became of You?’ is the 8th in a series of 10 monthly single releases from the enigmatic UK duo Wuzy Bambussy. The song is an Autumnal mood, laid back lounge jazz verses break into gospel tinged choruses, double bass and warm uplifting brass compliment the reflective lovelorn vocals of Bristolian chanteuse Kat Harrison. Lyrically the song is a foggy late night bus journey through old London Town & a reminiscence on a lost love.

Anton Commissaris Interview on Nagamag

Categories: Features, Interviews, Jazz Features, Jazz Interviews, The Latest|Tags: Anton Commissaris, Blues, Gospel, Interview, Interview (osf), Jazz, Soul, Vocal|

Anton Commissaris
Interview

Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?

Anton Commissaris:
Jazz - vocal, with notes of blues, soul, rhythm and blues, and gospel styles.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Anton Commissaris:
I am a Jazz composer, pianist, and vocalist based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I released my first EP - On A Bright Note - in February 2021. I have a new single - Lonely Bay - released on September 24, 2021, and a second EP - Out of the Blue - coming out in October 2021.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Anton Commissaris:
I had heard music on the radio but the first time I felt a true connection was when at about 9 years old, I listened to an album by Joe Cocker - With a Little Help from My Friends. Cocker's voice was raw, bluesy, and powerfully emotional. It struck a chord with me. Intrigued, I began to play the record over and over. Two songs, in particular, stood out for me - the title track - With a Little Help from My Friends - and - She Came in Through the Bathroom Window. I didn't realize it at the time, but these were both Lennon-McCartney covers. I would later become a huge Beatles fan, impressed particularly by the fact that they composed, played, and sung their own music.

Nagamag:
How did you become a fan of Jazz music?

Anton Commissaris:
My mother was into Jazz music and she played a lot of records that I picked up on when I was young. When I was learning the piano at an early age, she also had Jazz sheet music laying around that I would learn how to play. I remember, in particular, being impressed by - Smoke Gets in Your Eyes. During my college years, I picked up on Frank Sinatra and many of the other great singers of the American Song Book. As an alternative to all the other standard pop music of the day, we would play this at parties and have a lot of fun, while others were somewhat confused by our retro tastes. Then after, playing classical piano for a number of years, I drifted back into Jazz and fell in love with that style of music all over again.

Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?

Anton Commissaris:
The Beatles "For No One"

Nagamag:
Of Course Nagamag would love to listen also which is the track from a similar artist you admire?

Anton Commissaris:
Sarah Vaughan "Misty"

Leila – By You Now (Spotify)

Categories: Audio, Jazz, The Latest|Tags: Jazz, Leila, Review (EN), Songwriter, Soul|

Leila – By You Now
(Spotify)

“-By You Now- is the new single of -Leila- under SubtleFreak Studios imprint, a blend of bright sound elements and heartwarming vocals generating the right good atmosphere for all the background moments with friends, your love or holidays shopping.”

-Nagamag.com

Leila couldn't be further from your typical indie artist. Hailing from Neverheardofit Pennsylvania, her sound and lyrics carry their humble roots. A little Jazz, a little soul, a hint of strange and three shots of romance will keep this spellbinding cocktail of uncanny ballads in your head forever. Having grown up playing piano, singing, and dancing in recitals and competitions she was exposed to the industry at an early age, setting the stage for this artistic endeavor. Her love for Chopin and Debussy heavily influences her songwriting, infusing her sound with a musical maturity and sophistication.

Primarily inspired by late romantic classical composers and vintage Italian film scores, Leila describes her sound as "Subtle Freak Hawaiian Prom." A syrupy vocal and hypnotic wave of guitars wash you away from wherever you’re sitting and into a velvet armchair at a sparkling B-list dinner party.

All songs, artwork, and music videos are painstakingly created by the artist herself by way of a full time career in software engineering. Her sheer determination is the driving force behind her upcoming debut album Glass Highways. Produced with Tim Carr (The Americans, Fell Runner), the ten-track release is a breakup album exploring the stages of romantic loss. Beginning with doubt and moving all the way through to reflection. Leila confides, “I tried not to be too prescriptive in my lyrics, but rather acknowledge the varied and at times dissonant emotions we face amidst heartbreak.”

Glass Highways is a vocal-heavy album, featuring bittersweet lyrics, inviting the listener to consider the dark and light of life in tandem, adding candor and humility to Leila’s story. Thematically, the album is romantic and lush, consisting of long, dramatic songs oozing with cinematic flair. The songwriter reveals, “During production of my songs, I try to feel like I’m enveloped by them. I want them to wrap me in sound and feeling, as if pulling me into a daydream, or LeilaLand, for that matter.”

Single “Missing You” describes a narrator aching with nostalgia musing over the next time she’ll encounter her lost love. She imagines running into them in various scenarios, describing how they’ll react with each other in this new and uncertain distance they’ve created. Then there is “By You Now”, a two-phase epic of wistful confession. Leila expresses, “Despite how emphatically we attempt to distract ourselves, the reality of heartbreak inevitably sets in. That’s the arc I was going for in ‘By You Now’ with a vibrant upbeat opening that ultimately leads to a somber and lonely ending”.

Upon moving to LA, Leila joined the Angel City Chorale touring England and ultimately performing with the London Philharmonic and recording at Abbey Road Studios. While singing in this choir, she began writing and producing original songs, many of which are included in Glass Highways, slated for release in fall 2020.

Myyora:
Pop, electro, soul for the acoustic version.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Myyora:
For my musical background i have always sung, since i was a little girl, whether it was at home by myself or with my cousins, or for school talent shows, or being in a band in university. The pursuit of my musical career began 2 years ago but it's only getting started now after only just releasing my first single in July.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Willow Smith "Time Machine"

Soto Interview on Nagamag.com

Categories: Features, Interviews, Jazz Features, Jazz Interviews, The Latest|Tags: Funk, Hip-hop, Interview, Interview (osf), Jazz, Neo-Soul, R&B, Soto, Soul|

Soto
Interview

Nagamag:
What are the genres that describe better your music style?

Soto:
Jazz, R&B, Funk, Soul, Neo-Soul, Hip-hop. New to the UK Jazz scene, Soto is a trio born out of Brighton with a foot in the doors of Jazz, R&B, Funk & Soul. Blending intricate rhythms and unique melodies, their feel is both a tribute to the scene, and something new altogether.

Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?

Soto:
Soto aim to make their audiences smile and groove with their work; something which undeniably helps this is the chemistry between the three founding members. Having all met in their first year at medical school, music was initially something of a side-hustle, but as the years passed it became more and more an integral to them as individuals and as a collective. Now, with their time at university drawing to a close, and a debut EP online, there'll be at least a few heads wondering what will be coming next from these guys.

Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?

Soto:
The feeling that first connected each of us to music is re-experienced on a regular basis. There is a deeply moving experience that arises when hearing the work of artists that touch us, and this similarly is something that is felt when we connect musically as a collective or as individuals. Music is possibly the most significant bringer of joy in any of our lives, which is why we are so determined - even with careers as doctors ready to begin - to make this a central part of our future. A life without music would always feel empty in a way.

Nagamag:
What do YOU enjoy most about writing and playing your music?

Soto:
We are all genuinely dedicated to the musical journey that we're on together. There's nothing better than when we meet for band practice and one of us says 'I've been working on this recently - what do you think?' and plays something beautiful. Many of our songs have come from one person bringing an idea forward for us to jam with, or quite literally just appearing from jams. This makes the process of writing so fun, and something we always look forward to. Similarly, what could be more fun than bringing music into a live setting? We love to improvise and leave lots of room for our songs to be different each time they are played so we can fully express ourselves musically any time we meet - we think of music as a conversation between the three of us and any listeners that may be present.

Nagamag:
Where do you see yourselves going musically?

Soto:
We hope to continue to challenge ourselves. We are always trying to explore new themes, try new things and push each other more and more musically, and this is something we hope to keep going. What we aim to do is continue writing music and hopefully entertaining people with our work. We would love to carve our a career in music, and we are so driven to this that we hope we're fortunate enough to just get that break that we need to make this viable. Whatever happens though, we want to enjoy every step of the way and be present in this journey, wherever it may go.

Nagamag:
Most artists have a favorite song from a different music genre than the one they are producing music for... Which is yours?

Soto:
Celeste "Both Sides of The Moon"
