Boon – Somebody Else (Spotify)

September 14th, 2021|Audio, Pop, The Latest|

“Very interesting approach of sound with elements from a variety of genres. "Boon" has the talent of combining EDM, Indie, Pop (or even more) and here's a nice example. Full of personal beauty, "Somebody Else" has to add something significant in our musical experience. Just listen and see what we mean!”

-Nagamag.com

The new single from Nashville-based experimental artist/multi-instrumentalist and producer Boon, who is known for his masterful mix of genre-bending sounds that meld together a combination of rock, trap, blues, electronic, R&B and pop. His single "Somebody Else" is "a semi-depressing song which is disguised sonically as a feel good, pop record. Boon further confides, "I love the irony of having an anthem about being a horrible person and telling your significant other they could do better."

Boon's music has been added to playlists including Spotify's New Music Friday, Salt and Apple's Alternative and his TikTok videos with blackbear recently went viral, amassing millions of streams. Thank you for your consideration.

Nashville's very own, Boon, the 18-year old writer, singer, mixer, producer, and master of all his own music- not to mention shoots and directs all of his videos- has immersed himself into the music industry at a young age with his father as Carrie Underwood's lead guitarist since the start of her career. Boon's releases "i might like u" and "You" were featured on Spotify's "New Music Friday", "Fresh Finds", "hyperpop", "Salt", and Apple's "Alternative" playlists. Boon exemplifies the meaning of creating his own unique sound and style of production, classifying him as a true, young prodigy. His last release "Can't Be Love" features an enhanced rock driven sound that is heard throughout his upcoming project. His single "Somebody Else" is out on all platforms September 7th.

Despite his young age, Boon is making a claim of the new wave. i

Wallners – Dracula (Spotify)

September 14th, 2021|Audio, Blogwave, Blogwave Features, Features, The Latest|

“The bright title of track -Dracula- can instantly cause attention. It traces a clear thread of narration, style and integrity. Probably one of the few works where Indie & Dream Pop are so competently matched. Valuable sound and professional mix!”

“Яркое название трека -Dracula- моментально акцентирует на себе внимание. В нём прослеживается чёткая нить повествования, стиль и целостность. Наверное, одна из немногих работ, в которой так грамотно подана энергетика жанров Indie & Dream Pop. Выверенный звук и профессиональная подача материала!”

Wallners are back with their new single "Dracula" and dive even deeper into their mysterious dream pop world. Not quite a year ago as one of the most important newcomer bands from Austria, the success of the four siblings has long since exceeded that. Wallners are a band with an international stature that continues to write, record and produce its music on its own at home. With "Dracula" Wallners take a step further in their development and also in the expansion of their unmistakable, mystical-wonderful sound. The music video is once again provided by the award-winning director Rupert Höller, who most recently won the Austrian Music Video Prize with the video for Wallner's single "All Again" was nominated.

Wallners sind zurück mit ihrer neuen Single „Dracula“ und tauchen noch tiefer ein in ihre geheimnisvolle Dreampop Welt. Vor nicht ganz einem Jahr als eine der wichtigsten Newcomerbands aus Österreich gehandelt, geht der Erfolg der vier Geschwisterschon längst darüber hinaus. Wallners sind eine Band mit internationalem Format, die ihre Musik nach wie vor im Alleingang zuhause schreibt, aufnimmt und produziert. Mit „Dracula“ gehen Wallnerseinen Schritt weiter in ihrer Entwicklung und auch im Ausbau ihres unverkennbaren, mystisch-wunderbaren Sounds.Das Musikvideo liefert einmal mehr der preisgekrönte Regisseur Rupert Höller, der zuletzt mit dem Video zur Wallners Single „All Again“ für den österreichischen Musikvideopreis nominiert wurde.

The newcomers Wallners - four young siblings from Vienna - feel comfortable while dreaming and playing with thoughts. The story of Nino (20), Max (23) and the twins Anna and Laurenz (25) almost sounds like a dream itself: After years of tinkering in the living room, they sent demos to various labels without any great expectations. Never ever would they have imagined that they would land straight at Universal Music. But you can hear why: The quartet's debut single compares to a gaze into an enchanted kaleidoscope, presenting itselfas an unmistakable and highly polished sound. Wallners’ hypnotic dream pop will take theirlisteners on an exciting journey somewhere between illusion and reality.

  • HALIENE - Glass Heart (Spotify), Pop music genre, Nagamag Magazine

HALIENE – Glass Heart (Spotify)

September 14th, 2021|Audio, Pop, The Latest|

“-Glass Heart- generously comes from the heart, experience and love for music. The clinging inserts of soft, melodic chorus give a light romantic taste in this track. Emotionality just raises! The vocals of -Haliene- are so strong that the brightest, good feelings awaken with ease!”

“В -Glass Heart- щедро вложили сердце, опыт и свою любовь к музыке. Цепляющие вставки мягких, мелодичных припевов предаёт треку легкий романтический привкус. Эмоциональность просто зашкаливает! Вокал -HALIENE- настолько сильный, что с лёгкостью пробуждает самые светлые, добрые чувства!”

-Nagamag.com

HALIENE, the voice of some of the biggest tracks in dance music — from ‘Saving Light’ to ‘Rush Over Me’ to ‘Ave Maria’ — returns to center stage with her new original production, “Glass Heart”

HALIENE opens up her soul on the song, revealing a vulnerability that many people face in their closest relationships. The inimitable voice is the main instrument here, deftly and beautifully delivering the song’s message while coated in a gentle electronic music cocoon.

“Glass Heart was inspired by a handwritten note I received from my late mother when I was 12 years old. Sometimes I feel that you should have been born with a tag on your toe that said: handle with care. But at the most difficult times of your life, I’ve seen an unmatched strength shine through when you need it most.”

This song is about me, who I am, how I was made — accepting myself in my fragile state —

while handling the greatest losses in my life with a strength tougher than diamonds.

You can break me open, but that’s when my strength truly shines. I’m easy to see through at times, but when I fall apart, that’s when my true purpose comes to life.

I found it very interesting that glass and diamond look so similar yet hold such different capabilities. There’s a fascinating dichotomy between the two substances: one, the most breakable of all, and the other is the strongest on Earth. I celebrate both strength and fragility at once in this song, because sometimes the most formidable strength is born out of the fragility of a broken heart.”

Rising from the world of trance and melodic dubstep, HALIENE is defining a new type of artist. Her angelic voice soars through the noise, capturing millions of hearts with her profound lyrics and heavenly melodies. With collaborations spread across the who’s-who of the DJ world with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Excision, Markus Schulz, Seven Lions, Tritonal, Illenium, Morgan Page (to only name a few) and singles topping the charts from Billboard to Beatport, she’s become dance music’s newest superstar — and she’s just getting started.

Она мгновенно захватывает ваше сознание и рисует в ней разноцветные образы и символы. Трек откроет вашему пониманию доступ к качественному звучанию, который останется в памяти на долгие времена!”

Breakout vocalist David Shane and fast rising producer Forbes have come together on sumptuous new dance-pop tune ‘Endlessly’ for vital EDM label UFO Recordz. Out today, September 3rd, it is the first of a pair of new singles from this Arizona-based, red-hot team and already feels like a sing-a-long summer anthem in the making with Shane’s soulful vocal and lush synths from Forbes. It comes hot on the success of David Shane having collaborated with Nicky Romero and signed to BMG Publishing, and Forbes picking up over half a million streams for each of his last three singles. It also comes with a beautifully shot, official music video featuring Shane and Forbes on location from Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills and feel good beach scenes in Malibu. Stream the new single across all platforms here: https://youtu.be/szu5r11njgc https://link.uforecordz.com/dsfEndlessly and check out the video here:

Singer/songwriter David Shane is having his most successful year yet. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, his music has been supported by the likes of Afrojack, Steve Aoki and Timmy Trumpet and he has worked with artists such as Taylor Sparks and Hagay Mizrahi. His big hit ‘Hero’ came on Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak and has clocked up over four million streams. David is no stranger to headline shows having played the likes of MTV SnowGlobe, Shambala, EDC Mexico and many more. He has most recently worked with Nicky Romero on ‘Into The Light’ for Protocol Recordings and is now on path to many more huge collabs with Top100 DJs and Top 40 pop acts in Los Angeles.

The career of fellow Arizona-born DJ/producer Forbes, aka Forbes Ploszaj, almost took a different direction when he began playing hockey at collegiate level. Realiasing his true calling wasn’t on the ice, but in making slick beats, he learnt how to produce and never looked back. His singles, ‘Undercover,’ ‘Tame Me’ and ‘Numb’ have all made huge impressions with more than 500k streams each and counting. He has had big support on influential YouTube Channels and has supported Autograf and DLMT at major shows as well as playing the likes of LA’s Oasis Festival and Catch One. His contemporary production is already in hot demand as proven by this new link with David Shane.

Says Forbes of the hook up, “David and I have worked together since the beginning of my professional career. ‘Endlessly’ was something we had both envisioned. A summer anthem with uplifting vibes and a lot of positive energy. We went into the studio as we had done several times before, but this time with a clear vision of where we wanted to go with the song. A few amazing sessions later, ‘Endlessly’ was created.”

Since 2015, UFO Recordz has established itself as a leading label in the global EDM scene. Founded by Jacques Maurice Julie and Darren Bezuidenhout in South Africa, it has become a standout platform for exciting artists who go on to make a big mark with their fresh sounds. The label’s more than 300 releases have clocked up millions of streams and views on platforms like TikTok and YouTube, where the label has a vast following of over 100%,000 subscribers. Key artists to date include Rudeejay, Da Brozz, Mark Stent, Pascal & Pearce, BADDIES ONLY and many more, with David Shane and Forbes now joining the ranks.

The pair make a superb job of ‘Endlessly,’ a beautifully uplifting and accessible dance-pop number. It has chunky drums that will get any party started, and lush, bright synths filling the airwaves with joy. A tender acoustic guitar adds plenty of emotion while the stunning vocal tugs at the heart strings as David Shane soulfully sings about young love.

This is a brilliant outing from these two talented artists with a big follow up already in the works for later in the year.

Cian Jay, joshua epithet – Dust (Spotify)

September 13th, 2021|Audio, Hip-Hop, The Latest|

“Real life events of a young man layered on dreamy chillhop beat. The story continuers with an echoed chorus. Well produced and full of inner journeys. ”

-Nagamag.com

Cian Jay releases his incredibly thoughtful indie rap EP 'Granite', produced by Zack Teale who also worked with Cian on his debut single 'Summer is Dead', his biggest track to date. The album is a concept piece that takes you through the full process of loss in its complete truth, it is out 27th August on all streaming platforms.

‘Dust’ is from a poem that Cian wrote when he originally came up with the concept of this album, it feels like a track where he completely bares his soul he touches on subjects of toxic masculinity that overshadows the underlying subject of male mental health. This track is a beautiful ode to the lessons that his grandfather taught him, where he subtly encourages men to be vulnerable as emotions are for humans they are not for a specific gender.

Granite in Cian's own words - "It’s about loss. The loss of a loved one, or a loss of self. The deterotiation of ‘Granite’ (new life) to ‘Dust’ (no life). It goes through the stages of grief. A lot of heartache went into this. Losing my grandfather and the big reality of ‘death’ setting in - This album was made to ruminate on all this, trying to come to terms with some kind of peace on the way. To work through these emotions and come out with some kind of clarity at the end. I find talking very helpful; I’m a big oversharer. But this was different. It was very therapeutic. All was recorded within Zack Teale's shed. It was a gentle, yet a kind of ‘powerhouse’ for creativity - A safe haven even."

Cian Jay is an independent singer, songwriter and producer from the UK. Debuting in 2019, Cian has gained a small but dedicated following through social media and his real life advertising of his music.
