Olanrewajumusic – This Wonderful Feeling ft. Buju (Video)
“Cute and dreamy Pop song inspired by the pure feeling of love. The sound that brings some fresh air in your mood and can take away all the negative energy. That wonderful feeling, difficult to describe but surely easier to express through sound!”
-Nagamag.com
This song basically tries to express the feeling of love using sounds and melodies, by understanding the way people feel and express love is different worldwide but the feeling that comes with being in love is the same, personal, and cannot really be explained but felt.
Video shooted in Hull, United Kingdom with lots of colours, smiles, and genuine fun

Will Wallace & Laurel Smith – GIRLS MONEY CARS (Video)
“Will Wallace & Laurel Smith appear with this Electro super track. Ecstatic and dynamic sound. Wicked bass and lead loops mixed with a breathless voice that immediately stimulates your ears.”
-Nagamag.com
LONDON – DJ and producer Will Wallace and singer- songwriter Laurel Smith unleash a dark-pop club anthem and music video for ‘Girls, Money, Cars’.
A phenomenal new release from Preston’s rising new name in music production, Will Wallace emerges with slick sound and visuals, and Laurel Smith brings the kind of bad-B energy you’d look for in North London’s emerging music scene. The pair have been quietly working on a smash dark-pop meets future bass single.
This collaboration is nothing short of perfect, a cocktail of the work of two seemingly disparate artists, surprising their respective fanbases after the successful release of Will’s upbeat electronic hit ‘Greenlight’ and Laurel’s far moodier ‘Out the Cage’ hit the air waves.
Will’s evolving sound proves he can’t be pinned to one genre – ‘Girls, Money, Cars’ is complex, both pop and trap-heavy yet impressively spacey, hypnotic and rounded. Dripping with unapologetic badass attitude, Laurel commands her breathy controlled vocals over sharp, incisive lyrics that she wrote for this track, pointing to the music industry’s subjugation of women that keeps them trapped in a male-gaze public image.
Dark and delicious,‘Girls, Money, Cars’ illuminates the warped, disorienting reality of entertainment, through an ecstatic, highly-produced mix that seriously ups-the-anti on new wave revenge-anthems.
The creative approach in the video is stellar, immediately hooking us with the nostalgic visuals of Y2K house parties, ironically placed over Laurel’s intimidating vocals, only to take an immaculate left-turn into a climaxing bassline from Will. We anticipate Will’s return to the stage with this creative ensemble, after his roster list of shows played pre-lockdown, including the notorious Don’t Let Daddy Know at the O2 Victoria Warehouse. Be ready to hear Will Wallace’s exhilarating drops on this banger across the clubs this summer, and watch Laurel’s dead-pan, covergirl—bound face on your screen in awe.

Paul Cousins Interview on Nagamag
.
Nagamag:
Which are the genres that describe your music style better?
Paul Cousins:
Ambient, Tape, Experimental
Nagamag:
Few words about your musical background and career?
Paul Cousins:
I'm a music producer and composer based in London. I create ambient and experimental music using reel-to-reel, tape loops, analog synthesizers and field recordings. My interest lies in the exploration of new sounds and creating soundtracks for emotions. Recently I've also been producing and collaborating with other artists, and working with brands to create sound for film.
Nagamag:
Do you remember your first connection of love to music that was the right impact to be a music artist now?
Paul Cousins:
After singing & playing bass in bands for a number of years I started to listen to a lot more instrumental music. I followed a trail of artists from Bowie to Eno to Tangerine Dream, which lead me to creating ambient music of my own. Once I got a few synths and started exploring sounds it became very freeing and I kind of fell in love with making music all over again.
Nagamag:
Do you have any upcoming releases?
Paul Cousins:
Yes, I have a live EP and an album planned for later on this year. It took a while to find the right direction to create an album, but once I found the right sonic palette it all fell into place. I'm looking forward to getting more music out there and sharing my explorations.
Nagamag:
Many artists listen to genres that they are not producing music for. Which track is your favorite that is NOT similar to yours?
Paul Cousins:
Sebastien Tellier "La ritournelle"

Fritz Michel – Look Out (Botticelli Girl) (Spotify)
“A characteristic feature of the rock ballad -Look Out- is that it's full of rich, arranged melodism. Its pleasant acoustic arrangement and splashes of indie-folk, result in a very pleasant and -most importantly- cheerful composition. Gentle and atmospheric song, with which you can relax.”
“Характерной чертой рок-баллады -Look Out- является то, что она наполнена мелодизмом и богатой аранжировкой. Вкупе с приятной акустической аранжировкой и вкраплениями инди-фолка получается весьма органичная, приятная и, что главное, бодрая композиция. Нежная и атмосферная песня, под которую можно расслабиться.”
-Nagamag.com
A song flush with both optimism and reflection, “Look Out (Botticelli Girl)” speaks to the importance of looking back and knowing that every moment one experiences is truly special. “The goal is to try and make sense of those experiences, both good and bad,” Fritz Michel says. “We’ve all had moments that we cherish, and in essence, this song is about being able to define them and not let them pass by unnoticed.”
Artistic expression generally knows no bounds, and given Michel’s array of experience, that’s clearly the case. Born in France and based in NYC, he’s made his mark as an accomplished actor who’s shared his skills in film, television, and the stage. And now, as evidenced by his new single “Look Out (Botticelli Girl),” Michel’s ambitions have expanded to include making music that’s articulate, intelligent and instantly accessible. Like his previous singles “Darker Now,” “King of Corona” and “Stardust” – all of which accumulated thousands of hits on YouTube and Spotify – “Look Out” embraces a pure pop sound, similar in stance to Belle & Sebastian, Badfinger, and Big Star, with a flair for melodious melodies and a certain lyrical largess. The song was recorded with Michel’s producer and close-collaborator, guitarist Tosh Sheridan.
"I’ve always thought of ‘Look Out’ as a meditation,” he explains, “similar to the experience standing in front of a great painting like Botticelli’s ‘Birth of Venus’ masterpiece. I’ve always loved that contemplative space we find when pondering amazing works of art. History informs so much of our experience, yet holding on too tightly to great moments only helps them to slip away faster. I find that’s the paradox. The painting stays the same, but human stories move forward in time, always reflecting back on the past, but always on the look-out for something that might help us makes sense of this life.”
Those sentiments have been shared by the people that have heard the music he’s made thus far, winning him instant accolades in the process. One reviewer wrote, “Fritz has a clear talent with the easy listening vibes that ruled the world when radio was king back in the ‘70s and ‘80s.” Others described his sound as “warm and alluring and charming…,” “a cinematic sound, “very catchy and uplifting indie rock” and “a chilled listening experience.”

Alias Molombo, A-F-R-O – All About… (Spotify)

“Это невероятно притягательный хип-хоп. Живая ритмика и читка увлекает за собой неравнодушных слушателей и притягивает своей неспешностью. Всё вышеперечисленное рождает крупную и глубокую картину. Все составляющие воплощают в себе то, что в итоге дарит эта работа - атмосферу.”

Sometimer – Great Wide World (Spotify)
“Synthwave piece that can become a playlist part of everyone who loves special, lamp mood. While lstening to the single -Great Wide World- your mind is transferred to the distant '80s, whose echoes of neon era still wander in the subconscious.”
“Synthwave стал неотъемлемой частью коллекции каждого, кто любит особое, ламповое настроение. При прослушивании сингла -Great Wide World- создаётся чёткое убеждение, что твоё сознание перенесено в далёкие 80-ые, чьи отголоски неоновой эпохи до сих пор блуждают в подсознании слушателей. ”

Demzer – Today We Pray (Spotify)
“Soft sound, enticing words, soulful melody and message. Elegant wave arrangement with the touching voice of Devon Mozer. His exciting vocals reveal an interesting climax. The result is a beautiful lyrical ballad for your collection.”
“Мягкое звучание, заманчивый текст, душевная мелодия и посыл, изящная аранжировка и трогательный голос -Devon Mozer-. Его волнительный вокал добавляет лирики в кульминационные моменты. Как результат - прекрасная лиричная баллада в ваших коллекциях.”
-Nagamag.com
DEMZER is an artist and songwriter signed with DeMoga Music in 2020. With a special timber and an amazing attitude, Demzer has both the talent and the looks, while putting up the work needed. "Today We Pray" is the first song that he released alongside the DeMoga Music team, written with Bianca Dragomir, Tomi Weissbuch and produced by Alexander Sambo.
He was discovered by Marius Moga, a Grammy Nominated songwriter for a Maroon 5 song, signed with Universal Publishing America and the biggest romanian hitmaker of the 21st century, as named by the press.
The timing was perfect, as Devon was about to give up on his dream, and join the University of Medicine. This song tells a lot about the struggle he put in and the hope he had, as a personal experience, beautifully exposed on a melody.
Devon spends his days in the studio, as his new achievable dream is to become international.
"Today We Pray is a song that touched my heart from the first instant, as my next songs are more catchy, but less profound. We want to show the world who I am through my music, while considering the fact that people need to dance on my melodies. I hope the effort that we put in will be seen by everyone, as I have amazing people around me, with lots of talent and that should count", said Demzer.
"Demzer is that breathtaking talent that you only meet a few times in your lifetime. From the first moment I heard him, I knew that he's destined to be great and I will do everything in my power to get him there. But his contrastating modesty is what makes him even more special. I know that his voice is needed in the worldwide musical landscape and the fact that he already wrote dozens of songs, really matters. We hope you all enjoy what we shared with the world", said Marius Moga.

Innocenzo Genna – Song for Sandy (Spotify)
“-Song for Sandy- is another piano composition of Neoclassical style. Sincere minimalism, harmonic and melodic pattern. Like a canvas on which the invisible notes and the artist's world of stunning beauty, are painted.”
“-Song for Sandy- фортепианная композиция в стиле неоклассицизма. Искренний минимализм, гармоническая и мелодическая картина, на которой нарисованы невидимыми нотами потрясающей красоты авторские миры. ”
