Acclaimed singer-songwriter and piano virtuoso Stefano May channels intimate experiences of pain, plunging into life’s hardest moments with his upcoming single and video for “Crazy”.

Working alongside producer Chico Bennett (Madonna, Lady Gaga, The Killers), a hauntingly beautiful ballad called “Crazy” was born – a deeply reflective, desolate take on the dark corners of enduring devotion. Stefano’s achingly raw demonstration of stirring vulnerability reaches deep into our psyche for a lingering expression of cathartic lament.

Stefano uses his rich background as a classically trained pianist to pair this vocally driven piece with a dim and distorted piano hook. We watch Stefano grapple with isolationism and the ghosts of his past as he journeys across abandoned beaches, lonely rooftops, and the solitude of his bedroom in this contemplative music video. Upon writing this track, May notes: “In everyone’s life, there is a moment when words cannot convey the gravity of a troubling situation to another. The power and beauty of music builds connection and closes this gap.” May has received acclaim from the likes of CNN, Ladygunn, Earmilk, GLAAD, Celebmix and Great Day Live to name a few.

Enough with isolation and solitude, what we need is happiness!

It’s in this spirit that Caracol and Mike Clay (from band Clay & Friends) got together to write Infinity, a true ode to freedom. With beatmakers Quiet Mike (Fouki) and Seb Ruban (Studio de l’Est) they created a cheerful hymn to adventure that is sure to bring a smile to your face. With a catchy melody laid over a fresh beat, they managed to capture the essence of Montreal’s hot summer vibe ! With one clear goal in mind: to make crowds dance and elevate them to a state of absolute feel-good !

Infinity is the 1st single from Caracol’s upcoming English album (to be released March 2023 via Kartel/Sony Music Canada).

Yellofox, melancholische folkpop vol energie.

Yellofox maakt vooral fijne verhalende popsongs. De liedjes zijn sterk beïnvloed door de grote singer songwriters uit de sixties en seventies en hebben vaak een melancholische en dromerige karakter. Dit wordt moeiteloos afgewisseld met energieke en opzwepende songs vol ritme en energie en dagen je uit om lekker op te swingen! Naast drum, contrabas en gitaar wordt het geluid vooral bepaald door de meerstemmige zang van Jorieke en Marc. Maar ook de prominente rol van Jorieke’s cello-spel geeft een heel eigen kleur aan de muziek. Variërend van een country fiddle tot klassieke strijker.

“De muziek van Yellofox is als een roadtrip en neemt je mee op reis. Sfeervol, melancholisch, maar ook ritmisch en opzwepend. Americana pur sang”.

Empowering multi-platinum singer songwriter Mimoza returns with a new single. Entitled “Madly”, the romantic pastel-dipped pop anthem explores self-love, knowing your worth, and never settling for second best. “Madly” encompasses an intense array of deep emotions such as pain, heart, and strength all in one record. Featuring emotive piano chords and swelling synths under Mimoza’s striking melodies and signature soul-drenched vocals, “Madly” is the perfect soundtrack of self love.

Self love has always been a huge topic close to Mimoza’s heart. With her last big record “Young Queen”, she honored her roots and mother who raised her to think highly of herself. These important values pertaining to self love and respect are once again accentuated in “Madly”. Mimoza, who directed and produced the stunning music video for “Maldy” takes modern romance to another level.

On the video, Mimoza confides, “My concept for the video was ‘modern romance.’ I think we often romanticize how beautiful life would be if that one person fell in love with us but what if we romanticized falling in love with ourselves first?” Mimoza teaches us to still wear a crown, even with a broken heart and shows us once again that the most important relationship is the one we have with ourselves.

Mimoza is signed to Universal Music Group and has over 100 million streams across platforms. She further co-wrote the multi-platinum Billboard charting single “Kings & Queens” by Ava Max.

Today, LA-based electropop artist & producer Jordi Up Late is back with a brand new single entitled “HOAX.”

Speaking on her latest track, she wrote:

“I’ve never thought of myself as a particularly sweet or bubbly person. I get moody and I get annoyed and I need space. So when I found myself in a relationship with a happy go lucky type, the personality imbalance created a creeping disillusionment. The tension festered over time into my feeling he was either fake or emotionally one dimensional. Either way the relationship became a ‘hoax’ and disintegration was inevitable.

The lyrics and concept flowed easily after I created the synth riff and the backbone of the song. After producing the rest of the track, I brought on BRUX, an electronic powerhouse, to co-produce and bring it home.Then I passed it on to Amy Dragon to master. From conception to finish, ‘HOAX’ is a female-engineered single.”

Jordi Up Late recently signed with WRKSHP, a new music-based lifestyle company kickstarted by Multi-Platinum, Grammy-Winning producer Che Pope and serial entrepreneur Dan Gilbert, headquartered in Detroit. She is set to release more new music this year.

Rapid-rising American-Trinidadian musician LATENIGHTJIGGY ends his trilogy and begins his ascent to global music notoriety, with the release of his highly anticipated EP, Flavors 3. In the works for over a year and produced by frequent collaborators Kontraks and Chooky, Flavors 3 is already receiving high praises from editors and supporters across all platforms.

Delicately fusing a range of genres including Latin, Afrobeat, R&B and Pop, LATENIGHTJIGGY continues his good form, serving up one of the most exciting projects of the year, so far. Laced with soft acoustic riffs, effective percussive elements, and a slew of magical melodic instrumentals, LATENIGHTJIGGY kicks the project off with the instantly infectious Afrobeat/Reggaeton blended opener and focus track “What More?” and the romantic and dreamy follow up “Circles”, before heading straight into smash hits “Úsame” and “Nela”, the latter earned Jiggy nearly 30k tiktok followers in less than 48 hours.

Although the end to the brand that put Jiggy on the radar of artists and producers like J Balvin and Rvssian, Flavors was just the seed planted for what is about to blossom into one of the most dynamic artists of this generation. Look out for his debut album set to release mid 2023.

ABOUT LATENIGHTJIGGY

Trinidadian-American artist, songwriter and producer, Robert Goodwin p.k.a. LATENIGHTJIGGY hails from a community in Gaithersburg, MD where he learned to speak spanish and fused it effortlessly into his own style of genre-bending pop music. At the age of 8, he started singing and playing clarinet and saxophone. By his teenage years, he had taught himself to play piano and began writing and producing music. Frustrated with looking for artists to record on his tracks, he began writing and recording himself, crafting the sound we hear today.

Since emerging on the scene in 2019 with his first official release, Flavors, he has gained millions of streams across the platforms and has featured on records with some of the most sought after artist like Eladio Carrion and Mora and has teamed up with platinum producers DVLP & Capi, The Rudeboyz, Symone Dice, and Dimelo Flo. His 2020 follow up, Flavors 2, debuted on the Latin Apple Music charts. This year, he was named Tiktok’s June Artist to Watch and the face of Spotify’s Mixto Campaign.

Leah Weller uses the springboard of mindfulness, levity and the glowing response to her newest music by releasing the nourishing, swaying soul of her debut album’s title track: Freedom.

Embroidered with threads of singing strings, warm blankets of brass and Weller’s own vocals cutting through the wall of sound with crystalline clarity, the song’s story is unambiguously relatable. Freedom arrived on the outswing of the singer-songwriter’s twenties, a hectic decade’s strands pulling together in the alternate, head spinning universe of societal shutdown and the forming of new, grown-up paths, each built stronger with the benefit experience.

Reflecting on the irresistible, richly-orchestrated song, she says: “Freedom is one song that developed through lockdown, a time that was so tough for so many people and I feel no nostalgia for. I read a book called ‘Letting Go’ which dealt with being aware of our consciousness, just one of many similar I’ve been inspired by, where authors deal with the idea of us freeing ourselves from our egoic minds. Like then, I still like the idea of this sense of freedom, especially during a lockdown.”

Announcing the release of her first album with the cultured, main stage soul of Wonder at the beginning of August, Freedom’s twelve tracks link arms and form a protective circle around Weller and anyone else unshackled, or looking to break free of the chains of uncertainty. Philosophical, inspired and unafraid, united with the support of producer and key writing collaborator, Steve Craddock, Weller’s self-belief grew during recording sessions that spanned 2020 and 2021 between studios in Surrey and Devon.

The single pushes the singer-songwriter one square closer to the release of her first long-player on Fri 21 October 2022 with Modern Sky UK.
