Lydia Mel – Different Planet (Spotify)
“Very concise and elegant composition, whose style of work with the lyrics reveals an expressive mood, good atmosphere and all that accompanies them. -Different Planet- is a simple but interesting and inventive song. A sample of creative freedom.”

Artist shared few words about this song with Nagamag:
"Everything is different still the same. This song is based on my personal story of facing the unknown, navigating challenges and taking new steps despite of it. Catchy electro-beat vocal melodies dance on a programming with pumping electro house-influences, produced by a team of experienced Swiss producers. The music video features 360 footage filmed from a tower and various locations. Singing in an astronaut costume, the visual turning planet effects add to the fresh sound and amped mood."

Lydia's song-story began a long time ago. Falling in love with the piano at an early age has allowed her to integrate her real life experiences into lyrics and melodies in her songs. Growing up in a small village in Switzerland, she spent several years living abroad in Australia and Sweden; experiences which have left a clear mark on her musical journey. When Lydia's journey took an unexpected and abrupt turn through a serious chronic illness, she decided to keep writing music against all odds. Now, she is taking the next step to release her own songs that have a fresh sound of modern electro-pop. The story continues!

Donmosjbat – BADA (Spotify)
“-BADA- can be considered as an expressive release with not a sharp transition from the old principles and ideas. It is observed from the sound, but also by a bunch of musical ideas from afrobeats to lo-fi and deep house.”
“-BADA- выразительный релиз; не резкий переход от прежних принципов и идей, а их логическое продолжение. Это наблюдается с саундом, впитавшим кучу музыкальных идей, — от afrobeats до lo-fi и deep house.”

Suzie Ungerleider – Baby Blues (Spotify)
“The immediately recognisable, distinctive & melodic tones of Suzie Ungerleider’s vocal leaves you in no doubt that this lady was destined to be a distinguished musician. Suzie has that knack of expressing a world of emotion with a handful of carefully chosen words. A polished production, this is a late night, lights down low song to be enjoyed with a glass or two of your favourite tipple.”
-Nagamag.com
Two-time JUNO Award nominee Suzie Ungerleider officially opens a new chapter of her already distinguished and highly successful career with the August 13 release of her new album entitled My Name is Suzie Ungerleider. It's her first since the artist formerly known as Oh Susanna announced that she would now record and perform under her birth name.
https://twitter.com/SuzUngerleider
Bursting with trademark evocative melodies and trenchant lyrics, it's the tenth solo studio album by the American-born, Canadian-raised artist revered for such landmark records as Johnstown, Sleepy Little Sailor and A Girl in Teen City. The decision to say “so long” to her long-time moniker Oh Susanna represents her recognition that the “exciting, dark, funny, charming” character that she thought was Oh Susanna was actually Suzie Ungerleider (pronounced Unger-lye-der) all along. “So here I am, leaving behind the trappings of a persona that gave me the courage to climb up onstage and reveal what is in my heart,” she reflects. “It once protected me, but I need to take it off so I can be all of who I am.”
https://www.facebook.com/suzieungerleider
The name change is both a personal and political decision, fuelled by her realization that 'Oh Susanna,' the Stephen Foster song of 1848, contained racist imagery and a belief system that she wanted no part of. She came to understand its historic associations to Minstrelsy, a tradition both demeaning and dehumanizing to black people. Leaving Oh Susanna behind, she's become her true self with a wonderful record that marks a fresh beginning, a collection of new compositions that refresh and redefine who Suzie Ungerleider is. The album also marks a new relationship with UK Label MVKA (Eva Cassidy, BOY, Sarah Blasko). "We’ve always been massive fans of Suzie’s mesmerising voice and songs having worked her first 3 albums at another label. To be involved with Suzie’s music again is a privilege and feels like a homecoming;’’ shares Andrew Bowles (Director at MVKA). Suzie reciprocates those feelings with "I love working with Andrew and Tom from MVKA. I love their honesty, sense of humour, artist-centric ethic, and of course their lovely accents.”

The new album is introduced by the characteristically searing 'Baby Blues,' a song about how the traumatic events we witness when we're young can haunt and indeed shape our older selves. It's a deep subject with an upbeat punchline. “Like ghosts,” she says, “sometimes you just need to just sit with them, feel their power, and, because they feel seen, they release their hold on you for a little while.” Elsewhere, the album depicts an older and wiser artist and mother sometimes writing for her daughter, both at the time of her dramatically premature birth and miraculous survival on the achingly pretty 'Summerbaby' and, now a teenager herself, courageously dealing with her own identity on the intimate 'Hearts,' on which mountains of blue watch over her.

Now based again in her home town of Vancouver, she made My Name is Suzie Ungerleider with producer Jim Bryson (Kathleen Edwards, Kalle Mattson, Skydiggers), whose assured touch amplifies the atmospheric dreamscapes contained in Suzie's reflective, intimate songbook.

Jaz Valentino – Vatican City (Official Movie) (Video)
“Soft song from “Jaz Valentino” upcoming album; “Day 7”. Have a taste from the artist’s life and attitude via his revealing words. A kind of self-introduction with the waves of our favourite Indie R&B sound. Nice job with personal style.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist shared few words with us behind this song inspiration:
” This song Vatican City is honestly where I’m at right now at this point in my life! Old friends passing away too young because of violence or friends in jail for decades because of crimes at a young age. I want to show the kids caught up in shit that there is always a way to soar up This song is for the lost youth that need a light Wether it be my brothers or countless others!…”

Paperwing, Loney Dear – The Fall (Waterfall, Pt. 2) (Spotify)
“The story-telling creation of love and life has a name; "The Fall". Smooth and gradual progression, craftful acoustic melodies and words comming from the heart. Pure magic with the contribution of two experienced artists.”
-Nagamag.com
This is the third single from my upcoming EP “Prism” - a remake of my old song Waterfall dressed in an acoustic chamber-pop style, with some freshed up lyrics and a new title. Joining me as featuring artist is Emil Svangängen a.k.a Loney Dear https://www.loneydear.com/ , making this into a duet about two people realising that their love for each other has come to an end.
