It’s a beautifully performed piece of music, but it comes with such a bittersweet wave of feelings – all in all proving to be about as relevant to the sadness behind it as possible.
Singles
Markson has certainly found meaning in art by magnificently blending classical piano & new age electronica to create an eclectic sound for easy listening across all walks of life.
Stew has done well to capture the sound of the moment with this, as well as not overwhelming his audience with weight or multiple layers of volume, colour & detail. The space & the simple beauty of it are likely to appeal for their originality & how easy they are to take on.
It feels like a totally natural progression for the band to take their music in this direction. The singer is fantastic, bringing the thick, powerful vocals of classic rock to a gentle & emotional soundscape.
Hard work, dedication, sacrifice, and endless hours in the studio are no doubt the unsung marks on Ms. Marie’s resume. The soul is apparent, the sound is impeccable, and Yona Marie is a master at the helm.
The simple & universal message of the song is beautifully conveyed: Live now, for you, because everyone dies. Calling on the sounds of 90’s & early ‘00s alternatives, Zhiaojiabang is the Senses Fail for the new generation.
A style born from a place like Detroit is often in a league of its own, and an Emcee like Cesare working the fiercely competitive & burgeoning independent music scene of the city has a clearly established sound & style.
Felicia DeRosa has an awesomely refreshing sound right now, the summer vibes are stronger than ever, and as an artist – her fusion of pop, reggae, rock & soul feels beautifully on point.
The song takes a nuanced approach to love, covering the addictive-like tendency of constantly needing the attention of one specific person – a person that has immense power to create pleasure & proportionate pain.
SlickMick has been through something that’s difficult to imagine. The detail offered on this single is unwavering, holding nothing back, appearing as a mellow freestyle – a one-take expression of story-line & emotional impact.
That level of self-belief is contagious in a great way, and production-wise the song has been crafted brilliantly, so everything just works, everything stands tall when it should. Defiantly an artist to look out for.
If you’re a fan of chilled out R&B vibes, this song might just be the one for you. Marvin Bloo’s single Oh Wow has evidently been written to accompany those late night sessions at the crib – it’s smooth, easy going, and works perfectly in that setting.
