Denver, CO — When you feel like you’ve hit your own personal rock bottom, when you’re frustrated with the world, with yourself, with everybody around you, when it’s hard to feel positive because it feels like life is throwing punch after punch at you and you don’t feel like you have the strength to take it. In the words of artist Estella Dawn, “sometimes you just need to let tears flow and cleanse the things that you can’t control.”

Dawn has strong views about the world and isn’t afraid to share them through her engaging, candid music. “I’ve always seen my internal darkness as wolves, I’m either part of the pack, or on the run from the parts of myself that scare me. But no matter which side I’m on, they’re always there. When the pack is descending and my mind starts spiraling it feels like all I can do is keep my head down and set one foot in front of the other, just getting through the day in hope of a better tomorrow.”

She adds, “we all have our own ways to cope, whether it’s having a cry sitting on the floor of your shower or screaming along to aggressive rock music in the car, buying too many house plants or finding comfort in somebody else's company, drinking, smoking, eating, the list goes on. We’re all just doing our best.”

The song is an ode to Texas and its big rain. Based around a bluesy rock theme that is not re reinventing the wheel but really does what it says on the tin. The solo adds grit and the ending has a captivating time change for an epic finish

Indie-pop singer-songwriter KellyMarie delivers a captivating follow up to her 2018 debut EP, On A Whim, with her newest single, “Timing Right,” out February 4th. The artist is set to celebrate this release the following night with her first post-lockdown show opening for American band Mae at Dallas’ Granada Theater on Saturday, February 5th. KellyMarie shows listeners with this release just what she’s had in the works during her time away; her performance will feature more new songs from the upcoming album due for release in March 2022. This new project was a moment for the artist in which she dove head first into creating a body of work inspired by beloved house-hold television staple, The Office. “It’s often said - write about what you know and love,” says the seasoned songstress, “so during the lockdown, [she] did just this.” KellyMarie found herself writing the lead single for this album in the electric moment that inspiration hit. Beyond the angelic vocals and breezy melodies fans have already fallen in love with, listeners can expect to encounter a new side of KellyMarie’s artistry that offers a deeper look into the singer we met in 2018.

Zulya Kamalova presented the first single – «Уразай» (“Urazai”) – from the upcoming album based on her father’s poems.

At the beginning of the year, Zulya announced the launch of a new project – the album “Әти җыры” («Father’s songs»), which she writes based on the poems of her father Nazip Kamalov, with the participation of musicians from all over the world.

Zulya: “For the last 2 years, Australia has been practically isolated from the world. And at the end of last year, my father, who lives in Tatarstan, suffered a stroke and, while undergoing treatment, became infected with Covid-19. I wanted to come, but it was impossible. Fortunately, he pulled through, but these events filled me with a sense of urgency, a desire to reconnect with my family. I came up with the idea to write an album of songs based on his poems.”

Today, on the eve of Nazip Kamalov’s birthday, the first single was released — «Уразай» («Urazai»),where you can hear the favorite one of Tatar music lovers – Mubai, virtuoso accordion player Aidar Gainullin, young mother Zarina Vildanova, Australian guitarist Dan Taffy, father of Tatar rock Deniz Badretdin, musician, journalist and social activist Radif Kashapov. The composition was produced by French-Dutch sound producer and musical instrument designer Michiel Hollanders.

Zulya: “Urazai is the name of the village where my dad was born. It’s a beautiful place. He wrote a poem about him, and I turned it into a song. My dad goes there every year, it’s only “100 km from Sarapul, where he lives now, but for him it’s quite a serious matter. I used to be able to visit Sarapul (the distance from Melbourne is 13400 km) at least once a year, and sometimes even twice a year. It was amazing for my aunts, who said that I come from Australia more often than they visit the villages.”

Yummy Music label and designer Yana Vakhitova also took part in the publication of the first single. “Urazai” is available on all music platforms.
