This single is a first step out of the darkness. A hypnotic rhythmic track, that shows LB in his finest songwriting form. Add to that beautiful strings and backing vocals, with Lars strong voice up front and you get the idea of the song.

Lars have a more sobering view about the song:

"Born Again' is about the ability of history to constantly repeat itself. It is not a message of joy. It is a warning."

Lush beautiful strings, soft breathy lead/background vocals, and imaginative woodwinds set with percussion, electric bass and drums makes this derivative work of Herbie Hancock’s instrumental “Tell Me a Bedtime Story”, a gorgeous symphonic rendition complete with lyrics and new 6/8 meter. Arranged by Stephan Oberhoff, this magical, fully-orchestrated take on the 1969 jazz classic, delivers a fresh, enigmatic and romantic version of Herbie’s beautiful and soulful composition. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA 2020 – 2021 and co-produced by lead vocalist/songwriter Lisa Andrea Torres and musician/arranger Stephan Oberhoff as he leads the way playing Rhodes, guitar, percussion, virtual strings, and background vocals. Also singing background vocals, tenor sax soloist Greg Diaz enriches this song by his woodwind arrangement and precision phrasing. Outstanding performances by world-class rhythm section players gives this song a unique texture and feel as French bassist Hadrien Feruad lends his solid groove and subtle nuances along with Cuba-born renown sensitive and creative, drummer Jimmy Branly. Mixed and mastered with impeccable sensitivity and color by grammy-nominee, MarTeen, this rare gem offers ear candy to both jazz lovers AND music lovers in general.

Much heralded singer-songwriter, Fable today releases her brand new single, ‘Guilt Of The Act’ via Naim Records. The track is the latest offering from her forthcoming debut album, ‘Shame’ and has been locked in for a pre-release daytime premiere on 6Music, following in the wake of the trip hop-infused singles ‘Orbiting’ and ‘Womb’, which drew praise from the likes of 6Music, The Independent, NME and many more.

Interweaving between funk-pop and sun-soaked rock, Guilt Of The Act is topped by Fable’s signature vocal. The catchy chorus, “Can’t walk in these shoes I’m giving them back” sounds like the dancefloor filler of 2021 we’ve been waiting for. In Fable’s own words, “Guilt of the Act, is so immediate and sharp. I’ve cut off all my frills, which has resulted in what I would call ‘Danger Pop’”.

“The song itself is about voting with your ethics when being represented – about not taking the path of least resistance because of financial incentives.”

“Reflecting on Freedom” was written and arranged by Alon Farber for the “Alon Farber Hagiga” . It is a really funky tune with exciting arrangement for 3 horns and rhythm section (with an extra percussionist)

The tune is actually an homage to a great Jazz tune called “Freedom Jazz Dance” by Eddie Harris, which is quoted at the end of it

"Beyond Control" is taken from NTO's upcoming album, which is a beautiful collection of melodic compositions paired with NTO's talent of making a track feel melancholic and uplifting at the same time. With the three already released tracks, "Zig Zag", "Invisible" (which was also remixed by Paul Kalkbrenner) and "Petit Matin", the French producer has already set the tone for his debut album with high-quality sounds and visuals.

Apnea is a collection of personal feelings, memories and milestones for NTO, which has taken him almost two years to create and finalise. "I have enjoyed the process of composing so much. The way I worked this time was way less isolated than usual, and I do feel that I made a lot of progress," he says and adds "this debut album is also a little bit of my family's history. Some songs and extracts wink affectionately at the people I love."

The album includes collaborations with Monolink, Tricky, Louise and French 79.

The album's title Apnea was inspired by the world free diving champion Arthur Guerin, who introduced NTO to his art. And as the term "apnea" is used to describe the suspension of breathing used in water sports, including free diving, it seemed only fitting for him.

Purple Disco Machine offers a more intimate side to his artistry, inviting us into the world of his sophomore album ‘Exotica’ and pays homage to the 80s and the plethora of artists that inspired him to create and set him on the path of becoming the internationally acclaimed producer he is today. "Opposite Of Crazy", featuring London-based duo Bloom Twins, is a blend of alt dark synth pop, with quirky and boisterous squalls of Prince-esque guitar throughout.
