SVNF8 – Abyss (Spotify)
“The all-consuming atmosphere is breathtaking! Consciousness seeks to break free from their bodies and float freely somewhere within the higher realms. You feel obsessed with this wonderful journey. Energy and drive slowly rolls in waves, and then suddenly there is a plunge into the cozy infinity of starry expanses.”
“От всепоглощающей атмосферы захватывают дух! Сознание стремится вырваться их тела и свободно парить где-то в пределах высших сфер. Чувствуешь себя одержимым этим прекрасным путешествием. Медленно накатывает волнами энергия и драйв, а потом внезапно происходит погружение в уютную безграничность звёздных просторов.”

Kat Kennedy – Can’t Wait (Spotify)
“Cutting through the vast expanses of human souls, through hundreds of billions of particles of our bodies. -Can't Wait- boldly juggles our feelings and emotions. Complements his lyrics with a metaphorical palette, luxurious sound elements and an acoustic enveloping melody.”
“Рассекая необъятные просторы человеческих душ, сквозь сотни миллиардов частиц наших тел. -Can't Wait- смело жонглирует нашими чувствами и эмоциями. Дополняет свои текста метафорической палитрой, роскошными звуковыми элементами и акустической обволакивающей мелодией.”

Artist shared few words behind this song inspiration with Nagamag:
" This song was written while I was quarantining in a basement in Alaska. The solitude really brought up a lot of emotions for me. I had just gone through a breakup and really missed the person- this song is what came up during that experience. The idea of wanting the sadness and the pain of missing someone to be over, and looking forward to that day while still being sad in the moment. " - Kat Kennedy

3D The Boss | Sneaky Peeky | Health and Fitness Pop (Video)
“Do you want to cheer yourself up? All that remains is to blow off the dust from the vinyl, turn on the turntable and open the windows! That warm feeling as a vingly you feel here. A seething and at the same time soothing ocean of emotions. Through the vibration of R&B rhythms to the immense waves of human emotions.”
“Желаете поднять себе настроение? Остаётся сдуть пыль с винила, включить проигрыватель и распахнуть окна! Бурлящий и, одновременно, успокаивающий океан эмоций. Сквозь вибрацию ритмов R&B до безмерных волн человеческих эмоций. ”

Atlanta-based Health and Fitness Pop trio 3D The Boss released their debut full-length album “Push It” on April 15, 2021. Stylistically, these seasoned musicians effortlessly combine their 70’s and 80’s funk and r&b inspirations with modern pop and electro elements for a potent signature sound.
Now they’re releasing a stylish, sexy official music video for the album’s earworm of a second single “Sneaky Peeky”.
About “Sneaky Peeky”:
Sneaky Peeky addresses the sensual, sexual curiosity and imagination that are both part of human nature. Yet, many lack the courage to explore who they really are and move forward with confidence, because of self judgement. In this song, Boss Lady establishes herself as a powerful Queen who has explored herself, defined who she is and essentially says, you’d better have it together before you step to me or you “ain’t got no shotty!”
Watch the “Sneaky Peaky” music video.

About the “Push It” album:
Most pop, funk & r&b projects intend for their audiences to get moving, but with 3D The Boss it’s practically mandatory. Described by visionary Saint Day Adeogba as ‘music to raise your frequency to a higher level’, the music on “Push It” is not only energetic, but it’s infused with meaning and spirit as it encourages the listener to live a healthy lifestyle. Whether you’re working out with the band during one of their live performances or just listening to the album, the songs stand on their own, each with it’s own distinct groove.

Odd Beholder – Accept Nature (Video)
“Do you feel anxious and stressed? Trapped into a destructive routine. Find your chance to escape from maddness with this nice Synthwave song. Popping beat, dreamy melodies and Daniela’s charming voice won’t let you down!”
-Nagamag.com
Odd Beholder, the Electronica / Art Pop project from Swiss musician Daniela Weinmann releases the video for the recent single “Accept Nature“.
“Accept Nature” is a song about anxieties caused by unrealistic and, often, meaningless work goals. Weinmann details the track as well as the video:
The song «Accept Nature» tells the story of an insomniac that watches funny animal videos on her phone at night. She’s chronically stressed out because she feels that she has to compete with machines at work – so she wishes she would either become a machine, too, or survive like an animal in the wild, where her instincts / feelings would be an advantage instead of a disadvantage.
In the videoclip, the protagonist has transformed the trauma of her chronic stress into a cathartic object love. She falls for her exercise machine. To live her relationship or her kink she has to break into a gym at night.
Ironically, the wish to fit in into a merciless competitive work environment ultimately makes her drop out of the mainstream (sexuality). She explores a passion more interesting than productivity and conformity – and this exciting exploration helps her deal with the anxiousness she feels every night. I mean if you can’t sleep anyway – you might aswell break into a gym and seduce an exercise machine, right?
One night, she is discovered by a cleaner. This woman observes her quietly and doesn’t interfere for quite a while. Like the dancer, the cleaner breaks a few rules: She brings her dog to work and she spends the night in the gym, prying on the intimate moment between the woman and the exercise machine.
When she finally decides to step forward by switching on the light, she doesn’t call her out. Instead, she signals that she would like to join in.
I interpret this as a second step in the personal development of the two women: After turning to dogs and machines in search of love, comfort and warmth, they finally see each other. They finally discover solidarity and get curios about each other. Happy end: The stressed and singled out employee finds an unexpected ally after she dares to live out her wildest and weirdest feelings.
Odd Beholder’s sophomore album “Sunny Bay” will be released on Sept. 10th, 2021.
