Edvard Borneo – So Lonesome I Could Drive

Blind Lake – In Control
“Clockwork, energetic POP song with an acoustic accompaniment and fresh as mountain air with vocals. Both performers are perfectly combined with each other and act as a single organism. The charge of a positive mood is definitely provided to you!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Заводная, энергичная Pop песня с акустическим аккомпанементом и свежим, как горный воздух вокалом. Оба исполнителя отлично сочетаются между собой и действуют как единый организм. Заряд позитивного настроения вам точно обеспечен!”

The new Blind Lake single ”In Control” is a head-on pop song with an acoustic drive.
There are echoes of early Jayhawks & Wilco through a Blind Lake filter; rhythmic, melodic and with great harmonies.
The lyrics are about our attempts to seek control in our lives in order to avoid tipping over the edge to meaninglessness.
However, some people interpret that with taking control of others or fool themselves by holding on to the wrong things to control.
"Notes you take notes set up dates and take notes
You´re in control, in control when taking notes"
JW Francis x Margaux – I Wanna Be Your Basketball
“Love the old school vibe on this one, from style, productions, sounds, vocals, arrangement, like an homage to the seventies. Born in a different century, but loving that hipi movement, this is a perfect song for you to sent you back in time. ”

“This song is a beautiful cross between genres, jazz, blues, soul funk, rock, all with a modern touch of production. Vocals are amazing, followed with a beautiful piano themes, organs, guitars, all balanced in perfection. Some amazing skills are put into this song. ”

D Fine Us’ sound is very much a balanced combination of lush instrumental soundscapes and immediate melodies that won’t get out of your head so easily.
On the song “A Little Bit Of Rain”, Tomer did a great job at taking this concept to the next level. The song has a very immersive tone, while also incorporating familiar styles and influences in a very innovative way. This track serves as an amazing introduction to what this project is all about.

Stefano May – Crazy
“Love the reverse sound from the beginning that serve as an intro to that lush piano themes a his beautiful vocal. Not sure what I like the most, piano themes or his voice, just a perfect blend. Drum parts are perfect, adding more layers towards the end, perfectly produced. ”
-Nagamag.com
Acclaimed singer-songwriter and piano virtuoso Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain, plunging into life’s hardest moments with his upcoming single and video for “Crazy”.
Working alongside producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers), a hauntingly beautiful ballad called “Crazy” was born – a deeply reflective, desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. Stefano’s achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability reaches deep into our psyche for a lingering expression of cathartic lament.
Stefano uses his rich background as a classically trained pianist to pair this vocally driven piece with a dim and distorted piano hook. We watch Stefano grapple with isolationism and the ghosts of his past as he journeys across abandoned beaches, lonely rooftops, and the solitude of his bedroom in this contemplative music video. Upon writing this track, May notes: “In everyone’s life, there is a moment when words cannot convey the gravity of a troubling situation to another. The power and beauty of music builds connection and closes this gap.” May has received acclaim from the likes of CNN, Ladygunn, Earmilk, GLAAD, Celebmix and Great Day Live to name a few.
