Recording songs in the bedroom, that’s the way Corona made us create new music.

Timebelle’s latest release is a versatile track because it combines the vibe of a ballad with a cool, groovy beat and a strong bass, a top line that takes you into some Spanish old movie, and the cherry on the top – the saxophone that really transforms this track into a deep, emotional, love song.

No Se Puede is written by Timebelle in collaboration with Switzerland-based Chilean singer/songwriter Alejandro Reyes and Romanian producer Andy Platon. Reyes has contributed to the lyrics part, helping in creating the right Latin atmosphere with his inspiration and native linguistic aptitudes. The track was produced in Bucharest by talented Andy who is also an old collaborator of the group, putting his personal touch into it.

Corona times pushes artists into being very creative, meaning the song was recorded in the bedroom which isn’t just a room where you can sleep, but also the room where you create and record your music.

After shooting to the forefront of the UK folk/Americana scene with their debut album ‘Wild Silence’, The Wandering Heartsheaded to the genre’s spiritual home of Woodstock at the start of 2020 to work on a follow-up. The result is their forthcoming self-titled album, which will be released on July 30th, which they have today launched with the new single ‘Gold’. It represents their first release under a new deal with Cooking Vinyl. Listen HERE.

The Wandering Hearts headed deep into the Catskills, where producers Simone Felice and David Baron hosted experimental and spiritual sessions in a studio packed with vintage instruments. The album echoes the timeless songcraft of Fleetwood Mac and Simon & Garfunkel with the pure passion of Jade Bird and The Lumineers. It’s a record that celebrates life, new beginnings, and striving to shine through a darkening world.

The new single ‘Gold’ opens with the gritty, fervent soul of AJ Dean-Revington’s vocals, before the band’s patented harmonies surge to the fore, while thunderous drums and a euphoric hook escalate the song’s drama. It offers a timely reminder that challenging experiences will in time fade in favour of a better future.

The band, completed by Tara Wilcox and Chess Whiffin, commented: “‘Gold’ stemmed from the idea of something becoming more beautiful after being broken. We had chatted about the Japanese art form kintsugi, which repairs pottery with lacquer mixed with gold. This was the perfect imagery for what we were writing about. Our scars are a visual representation of our struggles and our stories of loss are stories of survival. ‘Gold’ feels even more connected and poignant now, after a year of so much loss and everyone just trying to survive.”

The single release is accompanied by the stunning official video. Directed and shot by Jackson Ducasse (Dua Lipa, JC Stewart), it was filmed in the Northampton countryside and sees The Wandering Hearts surrounded by beauty and nature, perfectly complementing the sentiment of the song. Watch HERE.

The album will also feature ‘Over Your Body’, https://thewanderinghearts.lnk.to/OYBPR/youtube and will be released on CD, LP, cassette and download and is available to pre-order HERE. https://wanderinghearts.lnk.to/TWH

The band’s Official Store also has exclusive signed bundles including T-shirts, limited cream LP and gold cassette.

‘Wild Silence’ propelled The Wandering Hearts upon a remarkable journey. After a personal invitation from the legendary Marty Stuart (who wrote and performed on the new song ‘Dreams’), they became the first British band to make their USdebut at Nashville’s iconic Ryman Auditorium and then play the Grand Ole Opry in the same week.

An early career highlight came at the UK Americana Awards, where they won the Bob Harris Emerging Artist Award and performed with Robert Plant, Mumford & Sons and Imelda May. Two years on the road followed, which included sold-out headline tours, opening for Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks at Hyde Park, and support slots for Lukas Nelson and Justin Townes Earle.

Friday 26thMarch, London: ​Multi-instrumentalist writer, vocalist and producer Daniel Blume enlists critically acclaimed Manchester producer TCTS (Haim, Years & Years, Jonas Blue, 220 Kid) to collaborate on his latest banger to bring heartbreak to the dance floor, ‘Out Of Time’.

‘Out Of Time’ is released today via Positiva Records alongside a captivating visualiser showcasing the expertly-crafted dance floor filler, the strength of Daniel Blume’s songwriting, as well as his distinctive, soulful vocals.​

Hot on the heels of recent collaboration ‘Rapture’ with Brazilian superstar producer Alok (which has racked up over 15 million streams in under 8 weeks), ‘Out Of Time’is another red-hot collaboration perfectly interlocking the production styles of these two rising forces at the forefront of the electronic scene.

For Daniel Blume, ‘Out Of Time’ is the latest in his already impressive portfolio of sad songs that bang, which includes global smash and Cheat Codes collaboration ‘Who’s Got Your Love’ (which has racked over 85million global streams topping the US Billboard Dance charts), singles ‘Nights Like This’, ‘Catch Feelings’ & ‘Heartbreaker’, a songwriting credit for Ella Henderson and acclaimed remix of Dermot Kennedy’s hit single ‘Giants’. His energetic production style and natural knack for a soaring pop chorus has earned him comparisons to Calvin Harris and The Chainsmokers, as well as accolades from the likes of MTV (‘One To Watch’), RTÉ and The Sunday Times.

‘Out of Time’ was made in collaboration with Manchester producer, artist, remixer and DJ, TCTS. TCTS has risen at a prolific pace – between originals and remixes he has amassed over 67 million streams, gained global success through gracing stages at Glastonbury, Reading & Leeds, Hideout and Miami Music, been enlisted by superstars like Jessie Ware and HIAM for remixes, and received praise courtesy of i-D, Fader & Mixmag.

Daniel Blume’s reputation as one of the most exciting breaking artists in his native Ireland is well-established. With fast rising Spotify streams, placement on taste-making playlists like Spotify’s ‘Dance Revolution’, and a sell-out tour with Jax Jones under his belt, it’s only a matter of time before his shimmering, emotional bangers become chart fixtures. ​

Given his talent for creating modernist dance, Blume’s background might come as a surprise. His classical training began as a child when he earned a place at the world-renowned Yehudi Menuhin School. He studied guitar and piano, his education funded via a scholarship set up by The Rolling Stones. At the age of 15 he won the BBC’s Young Composer of the Year award and a glittering career in the world of classical music seemed to be his destiny. But by that point, Blume was already enamoured by the world of electronic music, Martin Garrix’s ‘Animals’ being the track that rewrote his future.

On to you takes you on a musical journey created by Nicolas Saad’s mesmerizing piano and Shawn’s vocal finds a way to ride that melody. Together they transport you to a deep reflective musical state.

The imagery of ON TO YOU demanded something special and Thomas Concordia and Rainer Hosch did not disappoint . These 2 incredible visual artists have a pedigree ranging from Valentino to Nespresso. Their vision captivates and captures the pure essence Nico and Shawn intended and allows you to truly feel the energy of ON TO YOU…

The song travels through the weight of your mentality when you know you didn’t win didn’t create it didn’t play fair and someone else suffered for your actions .. you may feel like the king or Queen initially but soon you will be the pawn . You will not get the gold but rather slip into the fold . Your kingdom will be full of nothing and your power will be removed at every level .. if you have every tried to fake something you understand and if you haven’t you will know why you shouldn’t .. This is ON TO YOU !!!

The electronic duo Bratři (i.e. Brothers) in their new single Running offer an image of an escape from the pandemic chaos. The twins Ondřej and Jiří Veselý used vocals for the first time, and the other ingredients are sprinkled with an accurate and effective ratio. They combine tension, techno and slightly raw straightforwardness. Run with Bratři and head off from the lockdown trap.

For the last single before the autumn release of the full album, Bratři chose a song with vocals. “Our friends from the band Teepee also have a bit of a share in Running. We did a remix for their song Parallel World and we liked their vocals so much that we also used it for Running. At the same time, we wanted to leave our sound and dance vibe,” says Jirka and Ondra adds what makes the song different from the previous singles Signal and Rise. “During the autumn lockdown, we moved to a small cottage surrounded by forests and pure nature, where we could work in peace during the week and escape a little from the stereotypes of the big city. The first motives were created here and I think that the forests and pure nature can be felt in Running.”

The whole single is shrouded in fog, which gives it a kind of tension. “We added hope and a positive mood to Running at the same time. But we are certainly influenced by the current pandemic in our work now, and this is exactly the result of the current situation. Escape, lockdown crisis and hope.”

Bratři are a new face on the Czech electronic music scene. Twins Jiří and Ondřej conceived the music project, which oscillates around a combination of catchy electronic dance, techno and ambient. The central driving forces are Jiři’s live percussion/drum beats and the melodic motives and sequences created by Ondřej on analogue and modular synthesizers, two captivating streams converging on stage in one uncompromising flow of electrifying energy.

In 2017 Bratři released their first EP Monster and followed it up in 2018 with a new single called Manual. Since their inception in 2016, Bratři have played a large number of concerts and festivals; Colours of Ostrava, Rock For People, Beseda u Bigbítu, to name but a few. They have also supported artists such as Jan Blomqvist, Rone, Chrome Sparks and in March 2019 opened for Jon Hopkins at the Forum Karlín. In April 2019 they released a single and music video called Monarch and took part in the showcase festival Tallinn Music Week, where their liveset was chosen among the TOP 10 live acts. In July 2019 Bratři played to much success at the prestigious Chateau Perché Festival in France. From September 2019 to February 2020 Bratři took part in various showcases, namely Nouvelle Prague, BUSH, MENT, and Eurosonic. In February 2020 Bratři commenced work on their debut album.

– “Nasceu Pra Navegar”, the first of four pieces that welcome Pablo Giménez on flute, is an original samba that is worthy of A. C. Jobim. Edi Barcelo’s singing and Crá Rosa’s quiet percussion are major assets as is the leader’s accompanying guitar. Ramiro Pinheiro’s debut album Sentido is highly recommended to any listener having a love for Brazilian jazz. The rich melodies, variety, and top-notch musicianship along with the consistent creativity make this a memorable release. – Reviewed by Scott Yanow, jazz journalist

If there’s one word that captures the essence of “Me in The Middle” it has to be the word motivation, and this music video sums it all up for us visually. We find SJUR amidst snow covered mountains hiking to the top with his DJ set, whilst Nordic gymnast champion Odin Kalvø tries to master a new tricky choreography. Trying to show the viewers different forms of achievement, SJUR hopes this will make you motivated enough to go that extra mile. Or try that acrobatic flip. The video is directed by Peter Bruteig.

Due to the pandemic the video shoot was postponed again and again and again. And then again. Initially the team wanted to feature a professional swimmer, but due to restrictions this turned out to be impossible. So, when going a second round on what else could be fun to involve gymnastics ended up being an easy choice as it’s a sport SJUR has been dabbling with himself. He has personally felt how the motivation and self-esteem can vary within a field like this which made him personally invested in this project. The beautiful mountains and view from the top of Midtsæterfjellet was of course a bonus too.

“It was quite fun to film this music video. Absolutely magical. Wish I had my downhill skis with me so that I could ride down again» – SJUR.

Odin is captain of the Norwegian national men’s gymnastics team and won the Nordic championship in 2018. When asked how important music if for him whilst training he shares that it would be impossible for him to go through a long training session without it. It’s the first time he takes part in a music video and gets to share his passion accompanied by music in this way.

“The shoot went very well! It was fun to see how professional the set up was. The gymnastic turn that I managed at the end of the video is a piece that is very stressful on the body and I only had a few in me. I’m excited that it turned out the exact way I wanted it too” – Odin Kalvø.
