Chavis Chance – I Hope I Die First

artist said about this song:
"I Hope I Die First started out as bit of a bitter joke... but as I got deeper into writing it, imagining these two young people sitting on top of a parking garage just like my friends and I used to do in high school, I found it just turning more and more into a completely sincere statement. I imagined those two people looking out at theirs lives together with all the hope, fear, and anticipation that time brings. The song tries to zero in on that feeling.
I recorded the whole thing remotely with my good friend and multi-talented producer Kauner Michael. We met in Spain but did the vast bulk of the work from different hemispheres as he'd moved on to Los Angeles. The timezone difference was a challenge but it's amazing how much of it felt like we were in the same room thinking back on it.
We tried to work in some darker sounds to the production to bring a bit of a counter dimension to how uplifting the sound is. That's where the super low notes on the piano came from, and there's some really evil pads way down in the mix. Then Gianluca Magalotti, bass, and Matt Benthall, electric guitar, sent their parts in - totally nailed it - and it was suddenly a song."

Just stunning Neo-Soul with a bright and very energetic atmosphere of immersion. Fabulous!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“У -dezabel- нет цели незнакомую ей планету чьим-то именем назвать, всё, чего она хочет — это чтобы её новый сингл, который идёт от самого сердца, услышало как можно больше людей. Просто сногсшибательный Neo-Soul с яркой и очень энергичной атмосферой погружения. Великолепно!”

no worries is a vibe-drenched lofi slow-burn, floating the empty space that lingers when a lover is gone for good… It delivers a gut-punch of 90s-inspired slowcore introspection, awash with luscious vocals and grainy atmospheric guitars • Inspired by the success of their debut album ‘Get a Life’, Human Barbie spent the following year isolated in a Baltimore warehouse, exploring new sounds and absorbing the gritty darkness of a world in turmoil. The resulting EP, ‘no worries’, channels the bittersweet nostalgia of 90’s-era shoegaze with the heartfelt simplicity of Human Barbie’s signature sound. ’no worries’ is patient and expansive, and paints a shimmering portrait of a restless heart, yearning for something more…

(New York, NY - July 13, 2022) Today, NYC-based recording artist Ayla D'Lyla has released a brand new single titled "Anywhere But Here," out now via Snafu Records. Listen to the song here.
https://ayladlyla.ffm.to/anywherebut
Inciting images of carefree summer evening drives through back roads in a pickup truck, "Anywhere But Here" radiates the vast versatility of Ayla's songwriting, crafting a lush, sophisticated take on modern alt-pop. Ayla details the song's inspiration, calling it, "A gentle, light song that captures a journey of escapism. 'Anywhere But Here' embodies the feeling of leaving the smoggy city and finding satisfaction in the simplicity of nature."
The new single comes on the heels of spring 2022 single "MONEY," a song exploring emotional unfulfillment in a relationship coupled with Ayla's signature tongue-in-cheek lyrical wit. PAPER covered the release, noting, "D’Lyla continues to build momentum in New York’s underground alt-pop community."
In support of "MONEY" and her growing catalog, Ayla D'Lyla also played a debut headline show this spring in NYC @ Mercury Lounge. Her first release of 2022, "MONEY" was the follow-up to fall 2021's "Burning Perception," a driving synth-pop track that put Ayla's distinct approach to forward-thinking pop on full display.
Growing up with German and Palestinian roots, Ayla took a keen interest in German pop music from a young age and continues to derive inspiration from its intricacies. A classically-trained vocalist, Ayla has always had a deep admiration for legendary female vocalists such as Nancy Sinatra, Dolly Parton, and Cher. "I could watch these women for hours," she notes, pointing to their captivating beauty and sound as a catalyst for her pursuit of a career in music.
Born and raised in Manhattan, NYC's vibrant arts and music scene drew Ayla in and has inspired a lasting love for the diverse art community the city fosters. After graduating from performing arts school, Ayla released her debut single, "Prince in Blue," a track that marked a transformation in her songwriting. With a keen eye for visual content, Ayla's videos are a world of their own, often executed in collaboration with her sister, Malina Weissman.
Ayla is just getting started, bolstered by a growing online fanbase as well as critical love including support for track "Brittle" from V Magazine. Having already asserted herself among the top rising indie-pop artists, Ayla's aim remains clear: "I like feeling connected to people and I'm able to do this by putting out music."

Nieri – Body 2 Body
“Strong work in the POP genre and if you carefully listen, you can feel all the beauty of the melody and voice -nieri-. There are many reasons why you need to pay attention to this track, but one of them is the most important - this is high -quality work from real professionals in their field!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

Dance pop artist Nieri is releasing his debut EP, Starshine.
http://www.thisisnieri.com/
Written and recorded between Los Angeles and Stockholm, the EP features five glossy, electronic pop tracks that offer a glimpse into Nieri’s life, struggles and aspirations.
The EP's first single, "Beautiful Music" is a club anthem that celebrates the pleasure of dancing the night away. The synth-forward "Face” sees Nieri confronted with the idea of bodily perfection, and the ethereal “In Our Eyes" explores the emotional challenge of “making it”.
While the title track “Starshine” is a personal song dedicated to his younger self, the highlight of the EP is “Body 2 Body”, a slinky track co-written with Swedish artist Ingrid Witt. Mixing elements of deep house with 90’s dance, the futuristic production makes this song a sweaty, dance party in outer space. With its euro influences and a flirty, catchy chorus, "Body 2 Body" will be stuck in your head long after you've left the club.
Nieri explains: “Body 2 Body" talks about the need to connect with people as a primal instinct - not necessarily sexually, but physical sensation as a form of closeness and community. In a world where almost everything is virtual, the dance floor is one of few places where we can let our inhibitions go. Music and dance have always been part of the human race, and this song celebrates the amazing connections that happen when we let our natural instincts guide us through rhythm and melody."
