Dezvelkito – U make me wanna cry
“Some perfect situations in life, may not last for long and -indeed- vanish like dust in the wind. In the same way "Dezvelkito" had his heart suddenly broken and shares that bitter feeling with his audience. Whether you have been in the same position or not, this elegant Reggae song won't leave you unaffected.”

Uscla Johnny Desarmes aka Dezvelkito, is a peaceful indie r&b New Jersey, USA-based producer, filmmaker, writer and singer-songwriter, who makes that thoughtful music, that he uses to help the world breathe and think about the positive vibrations.
The song is about the agony of trust. When, one moment you’re in love with someone and, in a matter of a minute it’s all gone! It’s pretty sad and hurtful. In the tale of “U make me wanna cry” Dezvelkito takes us on an empathetic, vocally seduced “lovers rock” reggae vibes to express the pain of a man losing his fiancé to another lover without having any foreseen difficulty in the relationship. The sound of Dezvelkito’s vocal deliverance of the turmoil and confusion engulf the listener to see themselves in the position of their hearts in limbo and to accept that sometime, love is just over.
Alta Falls – Trust Me
“Hope and dreams with a wide angled view of emotions. Broad harmonic landscape with modern twists that embrace a forward movement in music. Rich in tonal complexity with top notch production. The layering is very mature and well balanced. ”

‘Trust Me’ combines masterful lyricism packed with double entendres with a newfound sense of conviction, building on Alta Falls’ debut EP, ‘The Fire’. The track takes you through a narrative of its own, not just through the lyrics but with the instrumentals which rise and fall with the peaks of the story — eventually culminating to a frenetic yet flawless keyboard line.
The lyrics on ‘Trust Me’ were inspired after a bittersweet trip to the 2017 AFL Grand Final. “My team, the Adelaide Crows, were in their first grand final after almost 20 years, and my hopes were riding high to achieve a childhood dream of watching them win a flag,” explains lead singer, Nathanael. “Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. And although it was a heartbreaking result there are still plenty of fond memories, including taking in the post-match The Killers concert along with the other half of Alta Falls, Matt.”
The duo has continued working with producer Aidan Hogg (Jaguar Jonze, Holy Holy) for the new single, as well as Sebastian 'Baz' Jennings Hingston (Tia Gostelow) on drums.
Alta Falls may have released their debut EP only a matter of months ago, but they aren’t slowing down any time soon. Rumour has it a new EP is already in the works, and if ‘Trust Me’ is anything to go by, it’s bound to be an electro-pop delight, packed with that Alta Falls synthy charm.
