Gifts From Crows – A Persistent Dream
“The neoclassical melody that arouses sincere emotions inside, it is able to bring to tears and wake up all the most beautiful that is in your heart. A beautiful sequence of chords and an all -consuming atmosphere that affects its energy!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Неоклассическая мелодия, которая пробуждает внутри искренние эмоции, она способна довести до слёз и разбудить всё самое прекрасное, что есть в вашем сердце. Красивая последовательность аккордов и всепоглощающая атмосфера, поражающая своей энергетикой!”
-Nagamag.com
This piece was originally composed for solo piano and explores the way in which our subconscious minds influence our waking lives. A persistent dream can be a positive hope but also a fear or an omen. This version was arranged for 2 cellos, piano and double bass and tends towards the latter mood.
In many cultures across the world, birds of the corvid family such as ravens and crows have long been signifiers of loss and foreboding, and yet their symbolism is complex. As talking birds they can also represent prophecy and insight connecting the material world with that of the spirits.
This is the first track from the new album Etudes of the Crow and each piece will be presented in piano, orchestral and ambient versions, a concept that encourages innovation from the composer. The other 2 versions will be released in the coming weeks.

Secrets of Fire Band Release New Single ‘Runes’
Step into the Fire. Magic Inspires a New Mystical Release by Midlands Based Goth-Rock Act!
Birmingham, UK 2/9/2022 - Secrets of Fire (SoF) this week launch their hotly anticipated new single Runes. Recorded and mixed across two locations in 2022, the track is the first release from the band’s upcoming album. The song laments how the duo came together through their passion for music, and under the guidance of mysterious rune stones, it spurred them on to become SoF.
Runes delivers emotional, heart wrenching rock vocals that soar over a background of crashing indie-rock guitars.
“We aim to write beautiful songs with a dark edge and harmonious melodies. Powerful music that’s difficult to ignore” - Astrid, SoF
About:
SoF are Astrid (vocals) and River (guitars/production). Astrid’s name derives from her Nordic roots. Growing up in NZ and identifying as a witch from a young age, her mystical energy and charismatic vocals form the spiritual bedrock of SoF.
River is a prolific songwriter who’s recorded over 1000 songs. He brings the element of fire to SoF through a maze of layered guitar tones and uplifting musical soundscapes. Their two powers combine to create Secrets of Fire.
Imagine Britney meets Siouxsie Sioux fronting Foo Fighters, and you’d be half way there!
The band cite their influences as: Pixies, The Cure, Blondie, Nick Cave and filmmaker David Lynch. The duo embrace a DIY ethic as they write and record their own music as well as shoot and edit their own images and short films.

POLUN returns with a feature from singer/songwriter Anthony Arthur on uplifting single Over.
Having started off as a classically trained pianist obsessed with west-coast hip hop, Toronto-based POLUN (寶麟) sets himself apart with a sonic style rooted in versatility.
Under the producer/songwriter moniker Terence “TEE” Lam, he made his industry debut producing the 2014 Juno award-winning R&B/Soul record of the year, “Can’t Choose” by JRDN. Following that, he co-wrote on two Billboard Hot 100 hits—triple-platinum singles “Here” by Alessia Cara and “Too Good” by Drake ft Rihanna. Adept at jumping into any genre, TEE crossed over to produce for a few of K-pop’s biggest acts (EXO, Suho, D.O.) and wrote on songs for major electronic artists (Adventure Club, DVBBS, Kaskade x Meghan Trainor).
Most recently, his skilled production earned him credit on “U Should” by 2021 Best New Artist Grammy nominee CHIKA and he also co-produced and wrote the latest Bella Poarch single “Living Hell”.
Now, POLUN is ready to give the world more with “Trillium” – the debut EP inspired by his life’s journey. Creating an infectious sound that infuses unique pop melodies with emotionally charged beats, “Trillium” is an intimate soundscape featuring some of POLUN’s favourite collaborators.
As POLUN explains about his latest single ”Over”: “ “Over” with Anthony Arthur is a song about the all-consuming emotions that take over with the realization that against better judgment, you’ve given everything to someone whose heart isn’t in it anymore.”

“Right now, at this very second you have the only chance to feel on yourself what a high -quality sound and a good study of all components of the arrangement are. ALT POP genre atmosphere, professional approach to working with vocals and substantive text.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

Estella Dawn – Steal Your Girl
“There are never a lot of high -quality indie pop and the new single -Estella Dawn will make you know that music is something beautiful, melodic and impressive imagination. Feel this light taste of beautiful and very necessary for your heart music.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Качественного Indie Pop никогда не бывает много и новый сингл -Estella Dawn- даст вам понять, что музыка — это нечто прекрасное, мелодичное и впечатляющее ваше воображение. Прочувствуйте на себе этот лёгкий привкус красивой и очень нужной вашему сердцу музыки.”
-Nagamag.com
From stealing the spotlight to stealing your girl, New Zealand breakthrough producer, singer and songwriter Estella Dawn continues the climb, with her sophisticated and catchy new single.
Releasing September 2nd, ‘Steal Your Girl’ leads with retro bass-work and hooky melodic lifts from both the vocals and surrounding synths. The song then follows a nostalgic pathway through mellow, lower-toned verses, towards the resolve of a simple yet striking, easily memorable chorus. Estella’s ever-seductive vocals prove increasingly alluring, aptly reinforcing the desire and self-confidence at the heart of the writing.
Showcasing some of the artist’s most intricate and near-EDM-style production techniques, the new single balances minimalism of melody with evolution of design, for a structure that’s smooth yet snappy, and rightfully drops in with a bang each time the hook returns. The pre-chorus in particular helps elevate this, taking us through an intimate, breathy moment of quiet contemplation, before the ultimate redirection strikes as our protagonist swoops in for the steal.
Always a master of incorporating unexpected twists in both lyrical substance and musicality, Estella’s approach is consistently refreshing – forever pushing the boundaries of contemporary and traditional pop, with stories and set-ups that intrigue and satisfy in newly creative ways. For ‘Steal Your Girl’ we get a touch of Lady Gaga influence in both that gamer-esque bass-line and the distant vocal inflections; the sort that bring a sense of choral presence and color to the stage.
Ceaselessly integrating all essential traits for longevity – the talent, work ethic, passion, precision and originality – Estella has been breaking down the barriers between indie and mainstream pop since her emergence in 2020. With each new single the identity of her sound and the strength and soul of her voice have continued to reach an ever-expanding global audience. Now introducing yet another fresh take, keeping things familiar enough to connect yet interesting enough to hit with impact, ‘Steal Your Girl’ rounds off the summer with a fine fusion of energy and temptation.

HAUMS – Istanbul
“A fantastic transmission of the atmosphere and rhythm in this Organic House track, which makes it the impression that you were in a parallel world. There are no rules there, I do not work the laws of physics and you are in a state of complete weightlessness. Only the melody draws in the air the path that you need to follow.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

Dance Yourself Clean x Gregory Dillon – Every Kiss is Hell (Baby I’m Not Okay)

The real wizards of their genre!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

LYRICS:::
“Did you get my message? I think I’m going crazy…”
Maybe I’m lost,
Was I ever meant to take to you? (Maybe not)
What a wasted high
Just to cut me off into a fade of view,
But now...
It’s a rush, and a spell,
Baby how you make feel
Not enough, I rebel
Every kiss is hell
In a haze, as we dance
Under my tongue, I place a pill
Numbing out, to my last farewell
Leaving is a soft fear
but staying is a poison anyhow
Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away
This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break
My flame to the match, why won't you burn away
If this is my life, baby I’m not okay
Does it get you off
How I always seem to fall for you,
What a loss
Really I can’t stop
It’s a daydream laced under these dark reviews
Yet how...
It’s a rush, and a spell,
Baby how you make feel
Not enough, I rebel
Every kiss is hell
In a haze, as we dance
Under my tongue, I place a pill
Numbing out, to my last farewell
Leaving is a soft fear
But staying is a poison anyhow
Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away
This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break
My flame to the match, why won't you burn away
If this is my life, baby I’m not okay
Caught in the backseat
Watch it like TV
Can we really face it?
All of the honesty
Baby I’m not okay
Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away
This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break
My flame to the match, why won't you burn away
If this is my life, baby I’m not okay
Hate feeling it all, beggin’ to take away
This weight on my heart, cuz I’m about to break
My flame to the match, why won't you burn away
If this is my life, baby I’m not okay
It’s a rush, and a spell,
Baby how you make feel
Not enough, I rebel
Every kiss is hell
In a haze, as we dance
Under my tongue, I place a pill
If this is my life, baby I’m not okay
