Wonder-Full | Official Music Video | Duane Forrest (Video)
“-Wonder-Full is the mental stream of the author’s consciousness transmitted through the language of sounds. There are no suitable words to fully pass the feelings from listening to this song. Acoustic Folk, gentle, pursuing to goosers vocals by -Duane Forrest – awaken the most kind of feelings.”
“-Wonder-Full- это душевный поток сознания автора переданный через язык звуков. Нет подходящих слов, чтобы в полной мере передать чувства от прослушивания этой песни. Акустический Folk, нежный, пробирающий до мурашек вокал -Duane Forrest- пробуждают самые добрые чувства.”

Artist said about this song:
“I wrote this song while navigating a devastating break-up. I started writing it after some time had passed and I was in a healthier place to look back on what happened. Hindsight is 20/20. Processing the good times and even the hard times was therapeutic for me – and I hope it will be for the listener.” – Duane Forrest

Jona Kandaly – Late in the Afternoon (Video)
“A fresh jazzy approach that captures the afternoon pulse of a busy city, winding down. Nicely muffled piano overlayed on a steady trip hop beat with echoed out vocals. This track will surely relax the listener regardless their midframe.”

MŪNTII – All We Need (Video)
“When you listen to -All we need-, you can imagine a bright picture of the summer and the sun, which climbed over the horizon. Organic Rhythms of EDM, positive vocals, dreams and hopes are dancing in the soul.”
“Когда вы слушаете -ll We Need-, то представляете себе яркую картину лета и солнца, которое только взошло над горизонтом. Органичные ритмы EDM, позитивный вокал -MŪNTII-, а в душе танцуют и искрятся мечты и надежды.”

A debut single is always a tricky thing: is it going to float?
US DJ-producer MŪNTII gets it very right the first time on ‘All We Need’. That’s probably because he’s got more experience than a debut might implicate. Behind the scenes, MŪNTII has been working on this and follow-up tracks for years. ‘All We Need’ is a catchy, bass-led deep dance banger that keeps progressing and requiring our full attention until the end. Whether it’s in your workout playlist or at a house party, this tune fits perfectly!
Catherine MacLellan + Crys Matthews – More Than It Took (Video)
“-More that it took- is not just another song. The captivating sounds of an acoustic guitar, the vocal duet -Catherine Maclellan- and -Crys Matthews-, the execution of which affects so deeply that they involuntarily begin to sing along. -More Than It Took- is a song that helps to live, dream and feel.”
“-More Than It Took- не просто очередная песня. Пленительные звуки акустической гитары, вокальный дуэт -Catherine MacLellan- и -Crys Matthews-, исполнение которых затрагивает настолько глубоко, что невольно начинаешь им подпевать. -More Than It Took- музыка, которая помогает жить, мечтать и чувствовать.”

“Excellent Mid Tempo dubbed out sounds. Rich organic textured drums and a smooth climax that brings it all together. This track has alot of built in momentum and one can easily be absorbed into the beat. ”

WEIRDO – TRANSCENDENCE (Video)
“”Weirdo” is back with the always favourite Indie R&B style. Rich mix, with electronic patterns, smooth flow and creative progression. An alternate expression of a love story that finally fades away in a fake reality. Too artistic to miss!”
-Nagamag.com
After releasing his first single of the year, UK based singer-songwriter WEIRDO returns with a brooding, dark and eluding song ‘TRANSCENDENCE’, his second release taken from the upcoming debut mixtape/LP: ‘A MIXTAPE FOR HEARTBREAK’.
Accompanied by a sensational, surrealist and trippy 3D music video directed and created by Lucas Saidl and his visual collective ‘NotReal_Virtual’, TRANSCENDENCE sends you on an audial and visual journey through a broken relationship where love, betrayal, heartbreak and loss combine in an ethereal way.
Written, mixed and produced by WEIRDO in his Berlin based recording studio, a degraded drum beat joins forces with his signature nonchalant vocal style and a moody synth melody to result in a stunning “hit-repeat-again” track.
The song sets the scene for what’s about to come from his upcoming 10 track mixtape/LP, set for release in Autumn 2021.

BIO:
When first emerging from his home studio a few years back, WEIRDO, also known as Josh Christopher, started out by releasing a demo called ‘Disco’ via Majestic Casual’s YouTube channel which quickly spun up a fuss and amassed more than 1 million plays within a few months… he then disappeared.
He later re-emerged from silence by spontaneously releasing a pair of odd-pop singles named ‘BUTTER’ and ‘ARMANIO’, which both received #1’s on Hype Machine and Human Human.
‘SAPPHIRE’ was his next musical manoeuvre in which he collaborated with some musical friends; on drums Debbie Knox-Hewson (Charli XCX, Nasty Cherry) and on bass Pierre Leck. Renowned photographer James Perolls took press pictures for the release.
After a little more silent treatment, he dropped ‘ATTITUDE’ which landed on Spotify with a New Music Friday UK addition alongside support from Apple Music’s UK playlists.
Press came from some of the blogosphere’s most respected outlets such as W Magazine, Pigeons and Planes, DIY, Clash and Line of Best Fit.
Annie Mac announced WEIRDO in her New Names playlist on her BBC Radio 1 show whilst it was also included in the BBC Introducing Best Of playlist by Huw Stephens.
He took, yet again, another short hiatus whilst diving into the working life to pay the bills, make some new music for his other project IYES, and “grow up a little bit”.
Christopher, previously of indie pop duo IYES, had a Billboard Dance Club Chart #1 alongside being signed to Sony UK.
In 2020, he returned with singles EUROTRASH, FAKIN’ and some other B-side tracks.
BBC Radio 1’s Jack Saunders was the first to support alongside BBC 6Music, BBC H+W, Amazing Radio, Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Pop playlist, and online outlets such as Vice/Noisey, Wonderland, Complex and EARMILK.
His latest and first release from his upcoming mixtape/LP, ‘CAN’T WITHOUT YOU’, a song co-written with acclaimed hitmaker A7S, received praise on Spotify’s Fresh Finds: Pop playlist once again, from Apple Music’s NEW IN INDIE playlist and Anghami’s Alternative Pop playlist.
WEIRDO once again proved he is not just a flash in the pan and reignited the flame of media buzz for the third time.
WEIRDO defines his life experiences lyrically and sonically. He bounces between lo-fi production techniques (using vintage synths, putting sounds to tape machines and playing with random musical toys) and throws freshness and modern elements into the pot with electro-pop sounds.

Padi [Official Visualizer] (Video)
“Light Afro-Pop beauty, which gives emphasis to the element of friendship in our personal relations. “Padi” is the person you trust, admire, share beautiful moments with… This is the feeling that comes from these lyrics and full of positive energy sounds.”
-Nagamag.com
Artist shared his source of inspiration behind this song with Nagamag:
“Padi” is what “Buddy” is to an American, on the streets of Nigeria. it is a slang that connotes close friendship and fondness.
I feel being best friends is a key ingredient in romantic relationships so I wrote this song to celebrate that and i hope this will become a steady track for those who already have such friendship and also for those who aspire to such status.

Terse – Carlos Maya – Neoclassical piano music (Video)
“-Neoclassical Piano Music- is the sunrise after a long rain and following the gray clouds, its first blinding rays appear. Incredible beauty of execution and real grace, like a breath of air after a long sleep.”
“-Neoclassical piano music- это восход солнца после долгого и продолжительного дождя, когда из-за серых туч проступают его первые и ослепляющие лучи. Невероятной красоты исполнение и настоящая грация, словно глоток воздуха после продолжительного сна.”

Losun – Haunted (Video)
“Pulsating heart rhythms in -Haunted- are combined with high vocal emotionality. Live and calm elements from deep sensitivity. A slight symbiosis of Lo-Fi Pop and Dream Pop, which capture and doesn’t let you go until the last seconds.”
“Пульсирующие сердечные ритмы в -Haunted- сочетаются с повышенной вокальной эмоциональностью. Живым и спокойным инструментарием и глубокой чувствительностью. Особенной изюминкой выступает лёгкий симбиоз Lo-fi Pop и Dream Pop, которые обволакивают и не отпускает до последних секунд. ”

Different – Wild Story (Video)
“Very sensual and warm track. Incredibly beautiful chorus, stunning rhythm section and at the same time a very vintage sound. The vocals have the ability to penetrate into the inner self, lift the ocean of emotions and as if waves, one after another, absorb every listener!”
“-Wild Story- очень чувственный и тёплый трек. Невероятно красивый припев, оглушающая ритм-секция и при этом очень винтажный звук. Вокал имеет способность проникать в самую глубь, поднимать океан эмоций и словно волны, одна за другой, поглощать своего слушателя!”

Wild Story Bio:
Wild Story is a duo originating from Los Angeles, California. This anthemic band combines Viv Parker’s cinematic, immersive production with the adventurous, dynamic and vulnerable melodies of Katie Hargrove. From their first writing session together, Katie and Viv knew they had something special. Building on their solo careers, the pair decided to plunge headfirst into the LA music scene together with Lyric House’s support along the way. Staying true to themselves and each other, they have found success creating music that reverberates with fans and listeners alike. In their own words, Wild Story is about embracing who you are, creating your own narrative and owning it wholeheartedly.
Track Quote:
Wild Story’s “Different” is a symbolic anthem for those who have ever felt like they simply don’t fit in. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, Katie has struggled with this feeling all too often. After moving to the US at a young age, Viv also struggled with the notion of feeling like an outsider. Together, the pair crafted “Different” as a song for anyone and everyone. No matter who you are, no matter your story, “Different” is a song for you.
