908ZAY – 908
“Kick it back with a track that employs contrast in a skillful and captivating manner. Mellow, lo-fi vibes and beats with repetitive waterdrop chords, old-school vocal chop hooks, trippy sound effects juxtaposing super dynamic rap flows that portray the streets and the ambition to raise above all in most convincing way.”

Artist said about this track:
"This track is about growing up in Jersey and the people who helped me get to where I am today. Everything in this world is about building connections and I've been blessed to come into contact and work with some amazing creatives across the world. This track alone has a featured artist who is based in Atlanta and a young producer out of Germany. In this era of time distance is no longer an issue in order to create something amazing. I strive to be the best person I can and use music as a way of expression and to speak my truth in this world."

Hannah Schneider – Open Wall
“Feels like Hannah’s deep, emotional vocals, which sometimes flirt with a bit of delightful harshness can indeed open some walls. She knows how to pull you into her world like a mermaid with her spelling chant and before you know it you’ll be hooked on this dreamy blend of lo-fi beats, long sustained strings atmosphere and sensitive piano.”

Hannah Schneider releases her new single "Open Wall” - May 6. on Copenhagen label Midnight Confessions. Its a song about past and present, and the invisible wall that divides what we once were and what we are now- a song about lost love.
The song is taken from Schneider’s forthcoming album Ocean Letters - an album inspired by the mysteries of nature and the oceans. The track starts out with a very sparse instrumentation of only Schneider’s mesmerizing vocals and piano that could almost remind the listener of an old James Bond song, but the nostalgia quickly evaporates and gives space to a grand and sultry electronic driven chorus of roaring synths and drum machines.
Open Wall has been created in collaboration with Danish producer Nicolai Kornerup, with whom Schneider also creates music in electronic outfit AyOwA.

Ilia de Vega – Nostalgic Road
“A simply charmingly scenic piano piece that fits a sunset or night mood and takes you for a candle dinner with nostalgia in a candid, authentic and definitely not trite way. Red wine and romance will make great guests for sure. Play it a few times and it might start snowing with golden snowflakes.”

Kat Hammock – Springtime
“There’s something about “Springtime” that has the freshness, light and hope of the season it’s titled after. Kat's airy voice seems to be flowing and intertwining with the piano and wraps around you like a cloudy blanket. Not to overlook the arrangement, nicely flavored with an impeccable laid back supporting percussion.

Himmat Singh – Gulabo Meri
“-Himmat Singh- holds the balance between two faces- the rhythm and the indie R&B melody and such a lyrical, romantic manner of performance. The feeling that you sway on the waves of the Pacific Ocean and, together with charming music, everything is perceived very naturally and convincingly.
