Singer and songwriter Alan Apuli takes things back to the bare essentials with this up front and intimate new EP.
Music
An addictively rhythmic vocal track with a likable ambiance and a welcomed resolve and hook to help elevate things – to memorable & impressive realms all at once.
Featuring stunning vocals, expressive and soulful as they meander through these deeply intimate lyrics, For Me celebrates love and loyalty, and calls out for companionship, in a bright and beautiful way.
Rising up into heavy metal realms yet keeping the vocal clear, clean-cut and up front, VMK’s Pacing feels like a contemporary fusion of hip hop and rock.
Big Bus Dream have arranged the single beautifully here, a softly jazz-kissed ambiance of organic layers – double bass, hand drums, subtle vocal whispers and warmth.
It suggests uncertainty, reinforcing the mood and lyrics of the surrounding song, and this uncertainty is what makes the whole thing connect so beautifully.
A contemporary, creative ode to Henry Purcell’s popular Aria Dido’s Lament, from the Baroque opera Dido and Aeneas – an unexpected fusion of realms.
From great pain comes great art – a sad yet universally considered truth. This album is a dream to escape into, being all at once immersive, beautiful, and achingly poignant.
Born in Texas but more notably raised and shaped by the UK, rapper and artist Kway delves into emotional turmoil and unapologetic realness with this ambient and impressive, deeply personal freestyle.
In a way, this entire song feels like a freestyle sort of diary-like outpouring. Fast-paced lyrics contrast minimal moments and the two work in unison to promise a deeply open, genuine account of infatuation.
It’s a refreshing turn back to organic, live rock and creative song-writing, and a fine testament as to what we can look forward to from the upcoming longer project.
Forever unpredictable in concept, with a musical familiarity but an equally unexpected arrangement in most cases – hooks that reach out with light in the darkness, instrumentals that connect honestly to the lyrics.
