Maria Deirisarri – The Same (Spotify)
“Throughout this song, the crystal and so sensual voice of Maria Deirisarri, occasionally complemented by accompanying male vocals, is only strongly emphasizing the melodiousness and beauty of "The Same".”
“На протяжение всей песни звучит кристальный и такой чувственный голос -Maria Deirisarri-, который изредка дополняется аккомпанирующим мужским вокалом, лишь слегка подчёркивая и без того мелодичность и красоту этого акустического творения.”
-Nagamag.com
Conveniently releasing her lovey-dovey track on Valentine’s Day, or for everybody else, February 14, Maria Deirisarri’s newest song “The Same” showcases the fluttering of ecstasy when stumbling across a new love interest. Produced by Patrick Taylor (also known as Lazuli Vane), the song draws listeners in with its light, feathery vocals and dreamy ukulele. Every element of the track places listeners right into the heart of the character at hand. Urging her “other half” gently to consider opening up to her, she reassures her partner that the connection she feels knows no bounds. Towards the bridge, Deirisarri is met vocally by the object of her affection, singing “I know who you are, because you know who I am. And it feels so amazing to find the right match.” Their voices weave together seamlessly in order to demonstrate the mutually wondrous feelings that both parties are experiencing. As if listening to the passionate outpouring of a lover’s diary, “The Same” strikes the perfect balance of endearing and relatable.
Always making sure to pay homage to her Latin roots, Deirisarri makes sure to include a portion where she sings in Spanish. Keeping to her topic, she indulges in the romanticism of it all by fantasizing poetically “Como crecen las flores cuando estas conmigo” meaning “How the flowers bloom when I’m with you.” In this way, Deirisarri is fully present in her budding love, letting the feelings wash over her while allowing listeners to experience it all alongside her. Lyrically, Deirisarri believes it's the most beautiful song she’s ever written and shares that it’s moved many to tears. So scooch a little closer to your love, gaze into each other’s eyes and allow “The Same” to stir up those beautiful feelings of amorous adoration this Valentine’s Day.
Tory Floyd – As It Is (Video)
“”As It Is” combines Pop with R&B elements in a way that makes it stick inside your mind. The artist has created something warm and cozy enough to set us free from distructive thoughts, building up confidence. Quite attractive and positive result!”
-Nagamag.com
LA-based pop artist Tory Floyd released her bright, R&B-inspired single, “As It Is,” on February 4. Working alongside her brother Preston (aka Press Tone) of Press Tone Productions, the song came to life almost instantly. The track, interestingly enough, started out with the goal of Julia Michaels cutting it for NBC’s Songland. Luckily for Floyd, the song eventually fell back into her lap, which allowed them to transform it into her signature style of soulful, R&B infused pop.
Although “As It Is” went on a quite unique journey to become what it is today, the message behind it always remained the same. “I’m someone who has struggled with the internal battle of anxiety and comparison,” says Floyd. “It doesn’t accept the state of paralysis we put ourselves in, waiting for an idyllic world and the chance to wish on the right star.” The single takes a lighthearted approach to this issue, allowing listeners to feel safe in accepting their habits of comparison and begin working towards positive change. “As It Is” welcomes the desire to live and the love life you’re given. “We’ll still have moments of weakness, we’re human, but we’re able to re-center ourselves much faster on this one,” says Floyd. “It refuses to accept the paralysis we bring upon ourselves waiting on an idyllic world if we could just wish on the right star.”

BAYEM – Runnin (Spotify)
“A trip back to the future. Classic retro sounds mixed with nu school precision. Crisp cuts and blends of a warm and friendly interpretation. His voice encapsulates the feel-good progressive love story told. We like that fuzzed out synth solo. ”
