And no matter how the tension in the new song -blair borax and her voice scared you, it helps to free yourself from many shackles and wake your feelings.

Dover Lynn Fox – Lone Star
“Somewhere there, in the silence of cosmic distances, your star burns lonely. And somewhere there, in a fairy tale, Burlington devotes his songs to us, people, a charming singer -Dover Lynn Fox-. We hope that each of us will find something of our own in life. Someone is their star, and someone is a new author in their musical collection. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

Dover Lynn Fox is a singer-songwriter from Burlington, ON. She mixes elements of indie-pop, folk and rock to create a unique sound and drive her dynamic, sincere and stormy lyrics. Her heart lies in narrative and she crafts each song to tell a story. Dover is a big fan of music from the 60’s and 70’s, and musically she tips her hat to some of her favourite artists: Linda Ronstadt, Stevie Nicks and Neil Diamond. When these classics are not filling the room she enjoys the music of artists, like the band Travis, Mazzy Star and the Jayhawks. A nature lover and devotee to all creatures great and small she loves gardening and hanging out with her cat and dog and whatever else happens to be flying or hopping around.
Hannah Ascher – The Room
“And do not say that you are an avid chain and listened to everything that is possible. Have you ever listened to vocals -hannah ascher-? As soon as you get acquainted with her new song and hear her voice, you realize that the musical background remains somewhere aside, and in the foreground the vibration of her vocal data flaunts. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“И не говорите, что вы заядлый меломан и переслушали всё, что только возможно. Вы слушали когда-нибудь вокал -Hannah Ascher-? Как только вы познакомитесь с её новой песней и услышите её голос, то осознаете, что музыкальный фон остаётся где-то в стороне, а на переднем плане красуется вибрации её вокальных данных.”

Hannah Ascher is a 17-year-old singer-songwriter from Los Angeles whose friends and family urged her to share a collection of songs she originally wrote just for herself to process the pandemic and the tribulations of high school. "The Room" captures the universal feelings of loneliness and the longing for connection that may have been particularly acute during the pandemic, but which unfortunately persist in the lives of so many. Social media technically connects us to thousands if not millions of people (as the song notes, "It's just me and a million friends"), but it is full of "mixed messaging" and distorted reality and fails to provide the true companionship and friendship we require in our times of need. The brutally honest lyrics also probe the dynamics of anxiety - another universal but taboo subject that only recently has gotten more attention with a rising emphasis on mental wellbeing - and how the non-stop, "go go" culture of achievement hijacks us mentally and threatens to suffocate us.
Hannah's songs have been described variously as folk-pop, Americana, and indie pop. They are authentic and autotune-free. Shawn Pander, an Austin-based musical artist whose music Hannah grew up on, offered to help her take the leap from demos to finished product alongside co-producer Gabriel Rhodes (Willie Nelson). The result is Making Space, a precocious exploration of promises and shortfalls, female empowerment, and the power of music. Influences include Billie Holliday, Brett Dennen, Fiona Apple, John Mayer, Taylor Swift, Brandi Carlile, Mumford & Sons, Ben Platt, Stephen Sanchez, and The Head and the Heart.
Pat Byrne – Until it Isn’t
“A voice like a vibrating string of a ringing guitar, the waves of which are scattering throughout the district. A chic track in the americana genre, in which the vocals of the Irish singer -pat by -be -creates an amazing depth of the tension, and the leisurely rhythm emphasizes all this beauty. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Голос словно вибрирующая струна звонкой гитары, волны которой разбегаются по всей округе. Шикарный трек в жанре Americana, в котором вокал ирландского певца -Pat Byrne- создаёт удивительной глубины напряжение, а неторопливый ритм подчёркивает всю эту красоту.”

Artist said about this song:
"This song is about a relationship coming to an end. Most relationships have an expiry date and this song explores the empty feeling you get when you realize the romance has run it's course.
In the beginning of the song, the character feels that his partner has lost interest. Over the course of the song he discovers she has betrayed him, and in the end, he's the one who ends the relationship. It is what it is, till it isn't."

Apollo Lovely – Runaway
“You won’t run away from yourself, as well as from the new songs -Apollo Lovely-, who catch up with their listeners and continue to delight with the drunken wybe Neo-Soul and sexual vocals. A great chance to spend your day off in the company of this single! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“От себя не убежишь, как и от новых песен -Apollo Lovely-, которые догоняют своих слушателей и продолжают радовать пьянящим вайбом Neo-Soul и сексуальным вокалом. Отличный шанс провести свой выходной день в компании этого сингла!”

Do you ever get that feeling like you’re stuck in a rut? After a tumultuous experience in the music industry, Kim Ho of Apollo Lovely and Creature almost quit music entirely. He took time to recharge, pursue other interests, and ultimately it led him back to writing music.
His uplifting new song, “Runaway,” was written after he met someone inspiring, and he found the courage to run away from all the stories and games that others seemed to be pressuring him with. He discovered a renewed desire to follow his dreams and to do what he loves.
Kim wanted to elicit the feeling of breaking out of a mold — the mold built by our peers, parents, society, and most importantly the mold that we construct for ourselves. The feeling of breaking free from these constraints, to serve out our creative light, is to be happy and truly be free.
Kim wanted to write an album of songs that everyone could relate to. He hopes that by sharing his own deep feelings and personal experiences, that listeners can find themselves in the music, and be able to feel as if the songs had been written for them.
His eponymous debut LP as a solo artist was produced by himself and Ben Boucher. His message that he would like to put out through his album is that love is the most powerful force during our time on earth. There is an emphasis on not just the love we have for others, the people that move in and out of our lives, but also the love for ourselves and our dreams.

Ty Robinson – Distance
“A powerful track that sets a positive tone for your mood. Afrobeats rhythm falls on you like a black, thunderstorm cloud from behind the mountains, bringing up a hail of ice rain. -TY Robinson- gave us his new track, which will raise you out of bed every morning! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Мощный трек, который задаёт позитивный тон вашему настроению. Ритм Afrobeats наваливается на вас, словно чёрная, грозовая туча из-за гор, обрушивая град ледяного дождя. -Ty Robinson- подарил нам свой новый трек, который будет поднимать вас с постели каждое утро!”

Phantom Engine – Spaceman
“Just leave your planet for a few minutes. Just turn off all your phones and leave the keys to the car on the table. Just turn on this track and feel how your body breaks away from the ground and takes you into the infinitely flashing clouds of stars. Dream Pop, which is worthy of your attention. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Просто покиньте вашу планету на несколько минут. Просто выключите все ваши телефоны и оставьте ключи от машины на столе. Просто включите этот трек и почувствуйте, как ваше тело отрывается от земли и уносит вас в бесконечно мигающие облака звёзд. Dream Pop, который достоин вашего внимания.”

Jordan Jones – Flawless
“Including this track, you will first think that it will be light and relaxed. But this is self -deception! Already less than a minute later, as soon as you listen to the text, you realize that the track is very deep, multilayer and atmospheric. This is an example of an excellent and high -quality R&B! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Включая этот трек вы сначала подумаете, что он будет лёгким и непринужденным. Но это самообман! Уже меньше чем через минуту, как только вы вслушаетесь в текст, вы осознаете, что трек очень глубокий, многослойный и атмосферный. Это пример отличного и качественного R&B!”
-Nagamag.com
Edmonton-based solo artist Jordan Jones just wants to spread love with his music. After multiple Canadian tours over the last 10 years—fronting a band as lead vocalist and as lead guitarist in two separate projects—he is ready to share himself completely. With a range of influences, his diversity is a fresh approach to pop music.
Jones’ latest song isn't about changing the world. “Flawless,” with its chill R&B vibe, is simply for being in the moment and forgetting the daily bullshit.

Fly Project – Bipolar
“The Dancehall genre is a kind of bridge connecting fragments of dynamic rhythm and your desire to dance until the morning. The new track from -fly Project- will satisfy all these needs and you will not have time to notice how the sun of the new day has risen, and you are still in the rhythm of dance! (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Жанр Dancehall представляет собой своеобразный мост, соединяющий фрагменты динамичного ритма и ваше желание танцевать до самого утра. Новый трек от -Fly Project- удовлетворит все эти потребности и вы не успеете заметить, как взошло солнце нового дня, а вы всё ещё в ритме танца!”
-Nagamag.com
Bipolar is the new single by Fly Project – a manifesto of the feelings that a human experiences and of the world he lives in, which triggers an emotional rollercoaster. The song motivates you to take things as they come, to look for solutions and to enjoy life on a reggaeton beat.
En vogue, which was released at the end of last year, became #1 song in the radio charts in multiple countries in Asia and Europe, with a strong boost in streams and views.
The song already secured 1st place in New Music Friday Romania

Aliénore – Paradise Lost
“The lyrics and vocals -aliénore- In this acoustic track, it resembles a dialogue of consciousness with the outside world. You soar in the open spaces of the serene star, fly over the black blue mysterious ocean, such indomitable and, at the same time, soothing. Before you is not just music, in front of you is an immense stream of waves of human emotions. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”
“Лирика и вокал -Aliénore- в этом акустическом треке напоминает диалог сознания с окружающим миром. Вы парите на просторах безмятежной звёздной дали, пролетаете над чёрной синевой таинственного океана, такого неукротимого и, одновременно, успокаивающего. Перед вами не просто музыка, перед вами безмерный поток волн человеческих эмоций.”
-Nagamag.com
Aliénore is a French-British singer & songwriter living in Berlin whose music can be described as “witchy” pop, with notes of folk & indie influences. By layering ethereal vocals with synth lines, enchanting guitar sounds & words written both in English and French, Aliénore's music pulls the listener into a dreamy soundscape with depth, rawness and sensibility.
“Paradise Lost” invites you into a dreamy world depicting a dystopic heaven and hell landscape which the listener glides through, “lured” in by ethereal & entrancing vocals, layered with synth lines, enchanting guitar and haunting lyrics.
Lyrically, Aliénore’ cheekily presents her own thoughts on the human condition and includes a subtle nod to writer Milton’s ‘Paradise Lost’. She sings: “Droplets on dusty darkened meadows, you found your way in…..Hades knows your place in the Paradise Lost”
Aliénore says on the single, “Paradise Lost is a sonic representation of an otherworldly landscape that came to me, channelling my musings on life and mortality. The lyrics are highly descriptive, taking the listener on a journey into the unknown.”
Having grown up in rural South West France to British parents, Aliénore writes lyric-driven, vulnerable and introspective songs exploring themes of nature, duality, heritage, love, the feminine and the human condition.
Her training in classical choirs throughout her youth highly influences her bewitching soprano voice, and her penchant for medieval & period music shines through in luscious harmonies and melodies that bring hope to any darkness.
Highly inspired by nature, her mixed heritage and upbringing in the countryside, her songs beckon the listener into a vulnerable and dreamy sonic space.
