“Nice and slow is how this one flows. We enjoyed the simplistic beat that is rich in simple drop offs. His voice is sultry and carries well within the context of the rhythm. A nice touch with the waa-waa muffles towards the end, well done.”

“We tend to communicate via electronic means, but can this replace psysical contact? Dive into the hypnotizing synth patterns of “System Failure”. Unique Blogwave bomb that is ready to blow in your mind. This is your chance to restart and synchronize with sound!”

A failure appeared right after SoftWave reached the pinnacle of their career thus far, touring with OMD (February 2020). The government’s new system of lockdowns and several restrictions pulled SoftWave away from their daily routine, deadlines, playing gigs and other immediate future plans.

But nothing can get in the way of SoftWave: Jerry kept on producing new music and Catrine observed how the Covid19 crisis affected people mentally around the world, which inspired her to write lyrics to the forthcoming new single “System Failure”. Some people have been struggling to accept the new normal and others simply chose to go with the stream. “System Failure” describes the duality of being isolated in many months without associating with others, and how much life with a computer can disturb the mind and even provoke frustration, depression and in rare cases – anger.

The single seeks to show how important it is to maintain a permanent balance, a harmony between connecting with other people via a computer – and actually socializing in physical form.

A contrast between the modern and traditional way of communication, for lack of better wording. For the first time ever SoftWave has included vocoded vocals by Jerry, to emphasize how much certain people live their lives through a computer – and almost communicate to the world with it.

The new single is followed by a music video that takes the song’s message to a higher level, reinforced by a Nordic and electric “popish energy”, delivered by the Danish synthpop duo you may know as SoftWave.

This midtempo electro-pop song invites the listeners on a journey where catchy melodies build on each other, surprising with both intimate & powerful passages - also implying that sometimes the journey is as important as the destination & waiting sth rather active than passive.

2 minutes and 38 seconds of pure synth force – that’s what the power track No More promises. From beat one, the song describes the struggle with oneself and one’s own mind games, only to call out to the world with powerful hits in the chorus: «I don’t wanna fight this war no more. Everyday I try to let it go. I know that it’s all just in my head. So, I don’t wanna fight this war no more.» Questioning yourself, rethinking, not feeling like you belong. «So damn hard for me to be okay.» The complexity of the subject matter and its musical background was a great challenge for the band, which is why the three can look back on the process with all the more pride today.

“How often have you heard and listened to your inner voice telling you not to give up? This track reminds all of us not to give up and keep going, even if it’s hard and beyond the threshold of a blizzard. Wonderful Dream Pop and insightful vocals that captivate as soon as you dive into them.”

Since launching last year, OLI’s lush, ethereal soundscapes, expansive and inspired visual perspectives, and non-conformist alt-pop songwriting have earned her critical acclaim.
https://linktr.ee/Olimasek
With a sultry combination of deep bass and swirling synth textures, sitting beneath OLI’s effortlessly cool vocals, the single came as a result of the common experiences shared in 2020 and the sheer resilience OLI observed amongst people. Speaking of the song’s inspirations, OLI said: “I think last year a lot of the feeling was just to keep going and keep your head above water. I felt that around me a lot, friends losing jobs, experiencing periods of bad mental health and somehow pushing on. It made me realise how resilient people are and how little they give themselves credit for it.”
https://twitter.com/OliMasek
She continues: “I wanted the song to show that, to feel like a voice inside your head letting you know everything will be alright. That we are in this together. If anything, I hope the listener feels a little encouraged after hearing the song.”
https://www.facebook.com/olimasek/
The song will arrive with an equally luscious music video. Shot in Finland, OLI wanted to turn the fact that so many people she works with are so far away into a positive, and handed over the reins to Finland based videographer Heini Susanne to create the visually stunning video. OLI said: “I knew we didn’t need to be near to create something great together. The music video was actually filmed in Finland without me there. I wanted Heini to feel like she could do/try whatever she thought would look unique, instead of me instructing her on what I wanted.” The video sees a weary traveller lost in the snow-covered woods, battling his inner demons as he tries to find refuge.

The artwork and press photos for the single were made in collaboration with Gabrielle Salonga, a digital media artist. The pair had OLI pose in front of a green screen, with the 3D elements added in post-production.
OLI moved to London from New Jersey at the age of 2. Growing up in a musical family, she was always encouraged to be creative – writing her first song when she was only 7. Her influences range from the likes of Sade and Dion Warwick to bands such as Stereophonics, Supergrass and Pearl Jam and Pink Floyd. OLI co-writes and produces with legendary producer Benny D (Stormzy, Boy George, Kylie, Plan B, Robbie Williams, Paloma Faith, Depeche Mode).
“"The Lovepools" have released another Synthpop dynamite, to keep us active and interested in old good sound. The Summer spirit is still here and those funky loops can hit directly in our brain. Are you ready to dive in the cool waters of a sunny island? Just let your imagination follow this sound!”
-Nagamag.com
"Island Of My Own" is a summery pop-rock song by The Lovepools which features a bright production driven by an evolving synth riff, 80s drum loops, and funky synth-bass runs sounding in the territory of Prince and Michael Jackson. The instrumental is spearheaded by an embellished vocal performance by lead singer Anthony Shea, who sings of beaches, storms and isolation.
The Lovepools are no strangers to musical inspiration from video games and this energetic single from them is no exception. Singer, Anthony Shea attributes much of the song's lyrical inspiration from the gaming title: "Stranded Deep" which is an ocean survival game involving a plane crash near a series of deserted islands. The single's artwork is also a direct inspiration from the graphics and visuals the game offers. One night while playing the game, Anthony began to wonder what it would truly be like to attempt survival on a deserted island. Questions of isolation, civilization and moral philosophy began to present themselves to Anthony who quickly transmuted these ideas into song form which quickly became "Island Of My Own".
Island Of My Own was written by Anthony Shea and completely produced, recorded and mixed in Anthony's bedroom with Aria Cruz lending a hand as co-producer. The band used "24K Gold" by Bruno Mars as their mixing guide-track and Anthony finished the production and mix of the song on the 50th mix. Jorge Espinosa of Tropic Culture Studios retakes his role of mastering engineer which now marks his fourth completed master for the band.
The Lovepools new single, "Island Of My Own" will be released worldwide on all digital platforms on Tuesday, August 31st, 2021.

“The lyrics cause sincere emotions not only through sensual perception, but also at the subconscious level. Original and loved Synthpop, with rich sound arrangement and an atmosphere of hypnotic effect!”
“Текст вызывает искренние эмоции не только через чувственное восприятие, но и на уровне подсознательного. По своему оригинальный, но по-прежнему любимый многими Synthpop, насыщенная аранжировка и атмосфера придают звучанию гипнотический эффект!”
