Linus Svenning – Another War
“Plunger into this bottomless ocean of emotions and enjoy its unusual melodic gifts. Explore the circles of this sound maze and try to completely plunge into the indescribable atmosphere of vocals -Linus svenning- and the charming melody of the piano.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Погрузитесь в этот бездонный океан эмоций и насладитесь его необычными мелодическими дарами. Исследуйте круги этого звукового лабиринта и попробуйте целиком погрузится в непередаваемую атмосферу вокала -Linus Svenning- и очаровательную мелодию фортепиано.”

Another War came just before the Ukraine crisis broke out. It is a piano based - pop ballad made by Linus Svenning and the message is clearly "No more war". Already in the first verse you are dragged along and have to follow Linus' footsteps between hope and despair. We keep the music simple but powerful and it's hard not to be touched when live cello plays brilliantly beautifully while a children's choir spreads its innocent song that leads us towards the end.

Following the release of her indie pop gem 'Ego' (released in April 2022), Edmonton-based Métis musician Kaeley Jade returns with ‘Poltergeist’, the latest single from her new album Turpentine set for release later this year. Listen here.
Produced by the JUNO-nominated team at Velveteen Music, the catchy, upbeat track paints the tale of a deteriorating relationship with a vibrant palette. Inspired by artists like Shakey Graves and The Lumineers, 'Poltergeist' is a sunny and raucous anthem that will keep listeners dancing well into the witching hour.
“Feeling the spark go out in a relationship is brutal—it’s somewhat of a catch-22, because the harder you try to hold on to someone, the faster they seem to slip away,” says Kaeley. “A couple years back, I was seeing someone for a while, and just when it seemed like it was starting to go somewhere, I noticed a strange feeling of distance between us that began to grow and grow to a point where one day, we just stopped talking to each other altogether. It was as if I had dated a ghost. So I ended up writing 'Poltergeist' as a bit of a tongue-in-cheek response to that experience.”
A vibrant presence with a voice like velvet, Kaeley Jade weaves lush imagery and hooky melodic lines to craft music that is both poignant and playful. A Summer Solstice Indigenous Music Award nominee, Kaeley has performed on stages across Canada, including the Taste of Edmonton, Tkaronto Music Festival, and Edmonton’s Indigenous Peoples’ Festival. Her music has been added to major playlists across streaming giants, received radio play across North America, and placed in several film and television productions. Reminiscent of artists like Maggie Rogers and The Lumineers, she explores the power of relationships with her polished brand of indie pop.
Kaeley Jade's new single ‘Poltergeist’ is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more info, please visit https://kaeleyjade.com/
Tommy Alexander – Blues (OurVinyl Sessions)
“The acoustic melody of this track is an endless stream of consciousness filled with abstract thoughts when your heart draws a variety of images. The very case when the music itself creates an atmosphere, and is not selected by the mood, and you can only watch what will happen next.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Акустическая мелодия этого трека — это нескончаемый поток сознания наполненный абстрактными мыслями, когда ваше сердце само рисует разнообразные образы. Тот самый случай, когда музыка сама создаёт атмосферу, а не подбирается под настроение, а вы можете лишь наблюдать за тем, что будет дальше.”

Exed x Dom Fricot – No Real Love
“And someday you really loved that the world around you crashes like a crystal at your feet, and your heart beats so often that it began to darken in your eyes? Let the melody of this Tropical House remind you that it was possible once so important. Get battered in his summer rays and enjoy it like a delicious, milk cocktail.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“А вы любили когда-нибудь по-настоящему, чтобы окружающий вас мир разбивался словно хрусталь у ваших ног, а сердце билось так часто, что в глазах начинало темнеть? Пусть мелодия этого Tropical House напомнит вам, что возможно когда-то было таким важным. Искупайтесь в его летних лучах и насладитесь им словно вкусным, молочным коктейлем.”

Geert Veneklaas – \Reflection
“We are a reflection of our feelings and music that we listen to come from its very bowels. -Geert Veneklaas Find yourself and calm down.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Мы — это отражение наших чувств и музыка, которую мы слушаем исходит из самых её недр. -Geert Veneklaas- хочет показать нам, как с помощью одной лишь мелодии фортепиано можно приглушить всю боль реального мира и на мгновение погрузить вас в эйфорию. Найдите себя и успокойтесь.”

J. Naji – Mr. Magic
“Sometimes you need so few words to express the entire emotional spectrum of your feelings. Sometimes it is enough to share your music with the world to express everything that is important to you and the Nu Jazz melody copes with this perfectly. It immediately becomes so calm in my soul, so quietly and so serene.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Иногда нужно так мало слов, чтобы выразить весь эмоциональный спектр своих чувств. Иногда достаточно поделиться с миром своей музыкой, чтобы высказать всё то, что для вас является важным и мелодия Nu Jazz с этим прекрасно справляется. На душе становится сразу так спокойно, так тихо и так безмятежно.”

Othon – Mona
“The melody of Piano seems to talk to you, helping to take another step on the way to something important in your life. Easy, minimalistic and so enveloping from all sides. Nothing more, only a light breath of a warm breeze in your back as a reminder that you are not alone in this vast world.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Мелодия пиано словно разговаривает с вами, помогая делать очередной шаг на пути к чему-то важному в вашей жизни. Лёгкая, минималистичная и такая обволакивающая со всех сторон. Ничего лишнего, только лёгкое дуновение тёплого ветерка в вашу спину как напоминание, что вы не одни в этом огромном мире.”

A sacred sound artist and a keen experimentalist, Mona was diagnosed with incurable cancer in April 2021 and was given a maximum of 6 months to live. The news of this diagnosis greatly stirred producer, composer, Papa Loko and Conscious Expansion founder Othon who had experienced his first sound bath, some years earlier, conducted by Mona; an experience that was to stay with him, guide him and inspire him to this day.
Gentle, melancholy, deeply touching and paradoxically hopeful Mona reflects Othon's feelings towards his friend but, to some level also, Mona's spirit. For the artist, Mona's recent life experience was no more than one episode in the vast cosmic series of continuous soul evolution. Viewed in this way, death is painful and meaningful at the same time, perhaps even necessary for one's own spiritual development.

LeSaint – Goodbyes
“How beautifully and elegantly the Synthpop melody emphasizes and serves as an addition to the charming vocals -lesain-. Such music with warmth is accepted by your soul and heart and very smoothly lays down as a light sedative. You listen and enjoy every sound.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Как же всё-таки красиво и элегантно мелодия Synthpop подчёркивает и служит дополнением к обворожительному вокалу -LeSaint-. Такая музыка с теплом принимается вашей душой и сердцем и очень ровно ложится в качестве лёгкого успокоительного. Слушаешь и наслаждаешься каждым звуком.”

Mariah Counts – Everything I Need
“All words executed -mariah counts - gain their special meaning every time when you put a new single on a repeat and delve into each of them is how to plunge into the very bowels of her soul. Draws and does not let go. Calm and melodic arrangement beautifully and harmoniously complements all the beauty of her voice.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Все слова исполненные -Mariah Counts- обретают свой особенный смысл каждый раз, когда вы ставите на повтор ей новый сингл и вникать в каждое из них это как погружаться на самые недры её души. Затягивает и не отпускает. Спокойная и мелодичная аранжировка красиво и гармонично дополняет всю красоту её голоса.”
