“Απο την πρώτη στιγμή το κομμάτι δείχνει τη δυναμική του. Ωραία μελωδία που σε ξεσηκώνει χωρίς δισταγμό και φωνητικά απόλυτα ταιριασμένα και αρμονικά. Με το πάθος και τον αισθησιασμό τους σε παρασύρουν σε ένα μοναδικό ταξίδι απόλαυσης. Ο ρυθμός διώχνει μακριά την πλήξη και κάνει τις στιγμές σου ακόμα πιο ενδιαφέρουσες και εκρηκτικές.”

Lyrics of Radius x Leonora – Plans Tonight (feat. Leonora)

I live for the weekend
Underpaid and overworked
I can’t wait for the evening
Going out and burn what I earned

And I stare at the door
Now it’s almost 4
I can’t take much more
There’s so much to explore

Keep holding on
It won’t be long
‘til the working day is done
So out of balance

This lifestyle is out of whack
And I’m wasting my talents
Working hours I can’t get back
And from Monday to Friday

I put on a smile and
I try keeping it kind
But I just

Can’t keep this up
It’s all too much
I think I’ve had enough

When the clock strikes five
That’s when I come alive
I can’t work overtime
I got plans for tonight

Back tomorrow at nine
But this night is all mine
Logging out, I’m oﬄine
Cause you know baby, you know i got plans tonight

There’s got to be something bigger
This cannot be my final stop
My finger on the trigger
About to quit this dead end job

I just gotta get out
But shit I can’t pay my rent without
I guess I have no choice but

Keep holding on
It won’t be long
Til the working day is done

When the clock strikes five
That’s when I come alive
I can’t work overtime
I got plans for tonight

Back tomorrow at nine
But this night is all mine
Logging out, I’m oﬄine
Cause you know baby, you know i got plans tonight

Night after night I’m
Running in circles
Trying to find purpose
Night after night I’m
Running in circles
Trying to find purpose

When the clock strikes five
That’s when I come alive
I can’t work overtime
I got plans for tonight

Back tomorrow at nine
But this night is all mine
Logging out, I’m oﬄine
Cause you know baby, you know i got plans tonight

Vicentina – Lophae

Categories: Audio, Jazz, Song, Spotify, The Latest|Tags: Hispanic), Jazz, Lophae, Review (GR), Spotify Playlist - Jazz by Nagamag, United Kingdom, World Music (Latin|

“Η απαλή και ταξιδιάρικη μελωδία χαλαρώνει σώμα και ψυχή. Το διακριτικό και εκλεπτυσμένο ύφος της προσφέρει την διασκέδαση που μας αξίζει. Η παρουσία του σαξοφώνου από το 0:58 και μετά δημιουργεί μια μαγική ατμόσφαιρα γεμάτη πάθος. Ο ήρεμος ρυθμός με τις εναλλαγές του κρατάει το ενδιαφέρον αμείωτο από την αρχή έως το τέλος.”

Additional information/sources for Lophae – Vicentina

“Vicentina” is the second track from Lophae (pronounced “Lo-Fi”), a newly formed psychedelic jazz quartet led by guitarist and composer Greg Sanders. The group brings together some of Sanders’ favorite musicians to interpret his distinctive and compelling compositions.

This track is a bittersweet samba inspired by Brazilian jazz legends such as Edu Lobo, Moacir Santos, and Joyce Morenco. Its lyrical and direct melodic statement flows over Sanders’ João Gilberto-influenced guitar voicings and intricate pedal loops, creating a lush, immersive soundscape.

Drummer Ben Brown anchors the track with a masterful command of texture and energy, offering subtle shifts in orchestration to support the ensemble. Bassist Tom Herbert delivers the opening melodic line and first solo with his trademark rich, rounded tone before descending into lower registers to ground the composition with rhythmic precision and relaxed momentum.

Tenor saxophonist Sam Rapley contributes a brooding melodicism, weaving intuitive melodic pathways through the shifting key centers. His expressive playing keeps the track both singable and engaging while navigating its complex harmonic turns.

The band’s collective artistry results in a sound that feels both familiar and entirely fresh. Influences from the London alternative jazz and world music scenes—where all four members are active—shine through. Echoes of their projects, including Waaju, Teotima, Juanita Euka, and Polar Bear, blend seamlessly into this unique creation.

Greg Sanders shares his inspiration:

“I love Brazilian music so much—it’s such a rich, deep, and sophisticated musical culture. Brazilian jazz elegantly incorporates rhythm, harmony, melody, and improvisation at the highest level, creating a sound that’s both instinctive and profound. With ‘Vicentina,’ I aimed to capture the vibe of classics like Moacir Santos’ *Maestro* and Edu Lobo’s *Camaleão. I wanted something that feels natural yet possesses depth and richness.”

Lyrics of NXTHXN – Chose You

Verse 1
I’ve been running for too long
And I can’t fight it
Suffocating in between
it’s so exhausting
I can’t breathe I’m
coming clean I,
Imma tell her everything and all the details
I won’t leave anything out
And we gon witness all the memories that she built
Come tumbling down

Chorus
She gon be mad that I choose you
I know it’s sad but it’s true
Everyday I’m without you
It’s another day that I lose

Verse 2
There’s no other way that I can think to tell you this
So let’s go take a ride I’ll tell you everything
The truth is I’ve been seeing someone else
As a matter of fact they’re calling me right now
Let me call you back
I promise once I finish I will call you back
Yeah she’s sitting right beside me
And I’m driving
There’s no more hiding
I said I’m telling it all

Lyrics of Johnny Tiptis x Anastasia Papadopoulou – Strange

Isn’t it strange?
You sit by the bar, and order tonic Tanqueray
Your cold blue eyes wander searching for my gaze
Is it really you, cause the feeling feels the same

Isn’t it strange?

Isn’t it strange?
Your eyes are filled with guilt, and yet you look the same
Suddenly I hear you whispering my name
Seems to me that you’re just way out of your game
Isn’t it strange?

Strange feelings to feel and not share
Strange dealings too painful to bare
Strange passions, the bottle’s run dry
I just can’t help it, I’m losing my mind

Strange feelings, you’re way out of line
Strange dealings, too long for a night
Strange passions, I just can’t deny
Your love’s addictive, you’re gonna be mine

Isn’t it strange?
Did your values drop, or did you feel the need for change?
How could you fall so low, so low for goodness’ sake?
And why the fuck can’t I just let it go at this stage
Isn’t it strange?

Strange feelings, to feel and not share
Strange dealings, too painful to bare
Strange passions, you’re driving me mad
I’m out of options, a good girl gone bad

Strange feelings, my gin’s going dry
Strange dealings, your truth was a lie
Strange passions, you’re all I desire
You burned my heart out, in liquor and fire

Isn’t it strange?
Or is it that you were never that engaged

Strange feelings, your love’s just a shame
Strange dealings, and you’re just to blame
Strange passions, I just can’t let go
I want you so badly, can’t wait anymore

Strange feelings, I’m falling behind
Strange dealings, get out of my mind
Strange passions, you’re stuck in my head
But you’re not worth it, so fuck off instead
