Tristâme – Late Summer Storm
“Love the vocal here a lot, accent, everything, Horn section at the begging are amazing. Guitars as well, everything is so well produced and arranged. Love the bass/drum break in the song, did not expecting that and it is amazing, perfectly before chorus line comes back again. ”

This is exactly what I want to see and hear one of the most romantic genres of Indie Folk, for which I want to thank -frances Luke Accord-.” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)
“Музыка, которая взывает вас к размышлениям, достаёт из закрытой шкатулки вашей души всё самое лучшее и приглашает на прогулку. Именно таким и хочется видеть и слышать один из самых романтических жанров Indie Folk, за что хочется поблагодарить -Frances Luke Accord-.”

Ryan Hicks – Am I Going To Die (Hot Windy Palms)
“At some part, verse, reminded of James Bond theme songs from the last century. Having that same epic momentum that will stay in your mind for a long time. Vocal is amazing, same goes to the music, guitars solos, whole production, amazing one. ”
-Nagamag.com
Regina, Saskatchewan’s Ryan Hicks found the inspiration for his new single in an unlikely place, overhearing a conversation between a mother and daughter while on a songwriting trip to Palm Springs.
The daughter showed her mother a cut on her knee and asked, “Momma, am I going to die?”
Her mother’s comforting response was a feeling that Ryan chose to return to in “Am I Going To Die (Hot Windy Palms),” his wistful new single which blends folk and pop influences to capture love, caring, and a sense of wonder at the world and its unknowns.

Nadia Schilling – Morning
“If you want to start your day relaxed and in the right mood, this song should be the first one you play. Such a calmness within her voice, music, arrangement, everything is as it should be. Drums section is so smooth, adding the layer you need to this beautiful song. ”
-Nagamag.com
Nádia Schilling presents MORNING, the first single from her upcoming album FLAWS AND RIDDLES.
A song with an atmosphere of an emotional hangover, a state of contemplative numbness, like when you wake up early and look at the world after a bad night’s sleep. It is also a reflection on the perseverance and hope contained in the creation process, and on the way in which we face obstacles and uncertainties.
The song features João Hasselberg (bass and synthesizer), Pedro Branco (guitars), Bruno Pedroso (drums), Raquel Pimpão (piano) and Richard Curran (strings). The production is by Adriano Cintra and Nádia Schilling, who is also the author of the lyrics, music and string arrangement.

alex kate – Lost In You
“Emotional, deep, well written and with a beautiful voice. Although it does start with a retro feel to it, songs shapes out to be quite modern with great production. Love that the rhythm parts feel like another instrument and the pizzicato strings at the end is a really nice touch. ”
-Nagamag.com
Lost in You was written from start to finish after watching a murder mystery programme which for some unknown reason hit Alex with inspiration. Running upstairs to her bedroom to quickly record the song, Alex says: “You wouldn’t think that a programme about murders would inspire such a love song.. You never know when creative moments are going to hit I guess.”
Even though the foundation of the song was established rather quickly, Alex sat on it for quite a while, trying to figure out what it needed to sound like. She has: “the same feeling about songs as Michael Angelo had about sculptures. Songs are like angels caught in marble and you have to just chip away to release them and some can take more time than others.”
In order to unlock the full potential of the song, she brought Daniel Newcombe (MD for BEKA) into the project this August and when he sent the first demo, she knew that she had finally found the angel: “He created the ethereal dreamscape that I knew I was looking for that reflected the utter abandonment to love.”
The video to Lost in You was shot in Capetown as most of her visuals for the Rebel for Love EP. While working with just a demo at the time, she got a friend, Freddie Reed who usually works for National Geographic, involved and had the wild idea to go and shoot the video in two days in the desert and finish at a farm up on a cliff 500km from Capetown. “‘Sounds great,’ I said to Freddie. I didn’t know that we would be driving through some of the heaviest rain that the Karoo desert has seen in 10 years and get to our final destination and there to be no sunset or stars and a complete white out. However, it was actually the most amazing experience shooting in the desert where Afrikaburn happens. Freddie Reed, the director wanted to encapsulate the feeling of being lost and lonely in the city and at peace and alive in the desert. I think he has done a magical job.”

Sweet Tempest – Giving It Up
“Can’t get enough of this modern return to synth wave, sound of the 80’s that brought electronic music to mainstream world. Love the melodies here, so old school, so well produced. Same goes with all the vocals, that are filled with beautiful arp sounds, amazing song. ”
-Nagamag.com
“Giving It Up” is the disco anthem of the early autumn that will bring all the cool kids to the big cities on the dance floors together. Drenched in 80s synths rewired for the 2020s SWEET TEMPEST created a giddy yet romantic track.
