The recent wildfires sweeping through the Hollywood Hills and surrounding Los Angeles neighborhoods have left a trail of destruction, claiming homes, businesses, and cherished landmarks. Among the properties lost are several belonging to well-known figures in the entertainment industry, underscoring the indiscriminate power of nature’s fury. Reports confirm that the homes of several celebrities, including high-profile actors, musicians, and directors, have been reduced to ashes.

Amid the devastation, stories of resilience and solidarity are emerging. The entertainment community and local organizations have mobilized to support those affected by the fires. Relief funds are being established, and donations are pouring in from around the world to aid in recovery efforts.

Emergency shelters have been set up across the city, offering food, medical care, and temporary housing to evacuees.

As the ashes settle, the focus now shifts to rebuilding lives and neighborhoods. The heartbreak of losing a home, whether owned by a celebrity or a family of four, is universal. In these moments, the strength of the Los Angeles community shines through. From local volunteers distributing supplies to global donors contributing funds, the outpouring of support provides a glimmer of hope amid the devastation.

While the scars of this tragedy will remain, so too will the stories of courage and compassion that emerged from the flames. Los Angeles is no stranger to adversity, and as it has done time and again, the city will rise, rebuild, and continue to inspire the world.

South African Singer-Songwriter Charlie Harris Releases New Single “Catching Rainbows” from Digital Dust (Side B)

South African folk-rock artist Charlie Harris, known as the singer-songwriter of the duo Keep Guessing, has released his latest single, “Catching Rainbows,” a standout track from his debut album Digital Dust (Side B). Following the success of Side A’s haunting first single, “Charlie No Face,” Side B dives deeper into Harris’s world of lyrical storytelling, introspective themes, and a search for meaning within life’s most fleeting moments.

“Produced by Robin Walsh, ‘Catching Rainbows” captures Harris’s poetic sensibility, exploring the allure of chasing dreams and embracing life’s unexpected twists. With a gentle, rhythmic melody, the song unfolds like a personal journal, conveying the bittersweet moments of growth and self-discovery. Harris’s earthy vocals are laced with both nostalgia and hope, grounding the song’s message in a place of authenticity that listeners have come to love from him. “The song is about feeling that if I could just pass on some happiness I would. Metaphorically speaking catching rainbows and passing it on to you! Inspired by me wanting to make those close to me as happy as possible”

Hailing from Johannesburg, Harris has carved his path as a songwriter through stories that resonate on both personal and universal levels. He first gained attention with Digital Dust (Side A), featuring “Charlie No Face,” inspired by the story of Raymond Robinson, a man who became a local legend after a disfiguring accident. With Side B, Harris continues to bring forth songs that were almost lost to time but now find life in his carefully crafted debut project.

Reflecting on the theme of Digital Dust, Harris explains, “This album is like a collection of memories, fragments that might have faded away if not for this record. ‘Catching Rainbows’ is one of those pieces—it’s about grasping for something intangible, something that might not last but is worth the chase.”

Listeners can find “Catching Rainbows” and Digital Dust (Side B) on all major streaming platforms On 15 November 2024.

Vanessa Mini has recently released a new work: Ave Fénix. Vanessa Mini has just dropped a new studio single named Ave Fénix. This release is very energetic because it showcases some awesome dynamics, as well as the artist’s ability to seamlessly unleash creativity and combine different influences into something that’s refreshing and quite one-of-a-kind. The track combines electronic soundscapes and trap-inspired beats with unique Spanish vocals, bringing a truly deep and impactful edge to the mix. Ave Fénix is a mesmerizing song that showcases the artist’s passion for making music that’s far more than just entertainment. We’re entering the territory of deeper self-expression, as the artist is eager to connect with her audience. Ave Fénix is a perfect example of this because the song is meaningful and expressive (while still remaining catchy and accessible for most types of listeners out there!)

The song has a truly inspiring sound. The lyrics recall the concept of the phoenix rising again from its own ashes. The idea of rebirth is all about facing challenges with a fresh start and coming back from struggles even stronger than before. While the song has a very melodic taste and a soothing quality, the production is also very modern and detailed. The sound of the drums, in particular, is reminiscent of the modern wave of trap, while the vocals, adorned with some striking effects, have a very contemporary twist as well while remaining very emotional and timeless. In other words, Ave Fénix stands out for its modern sound, but although the production is quite polished, it is never overproduced, allowing a lot of wonderfully organic and “human” elements to really add liveliness to the mix despite the electronic elements being so predominant within the context of this arrangement.

Like the phoenix rising again, Ave Fénix is a song that instills hope and resilience in its listeners. It’s a powerful message, particularly in these tense and challenging times. The singer’s heartfelt vocal performance brings out the emotional depth of the song, creating a piece of music that is not just entertaining, but deeply moving. Find out more about Vanessa Mini and listen to Ave Fénix. This release comes highly recommended to people who enjoy the sound of artists such as Halsey, Camila Cabello, and Karol G, only to name a few.

Get ready to hear this captivating and touching track day and night as it dominates the airwaves. Even more exciting, “Do iT” will be played daily as a special POWERPLAY at 9 PM Pacific for the next month, giving you even more chances to enjoy its vibrant and smooth energy!

The song, written by the talented duo Jasmin Neuninger and Roman Schrank, was recorded at Boogie Park Studio in Hamburg, with production by Leon Christen. This well produced and beautiful track is sure to be a favorite, so tune in and let GENTLE GLOW light up your day!

The Austrian pop band Gentle Glow releases their new single: “Do iT”

A powerful reminder to do something and be creative without thinking too much about it! September 2024 – The Austrian pop band Gentle Glow, consisting of 5 members, including the two songwriters Jasmin Neuninger and Roman Schrank, will present their new single “Do iT” on September 20, 2024. The track is a spontaneous reflection on the band’s journey and an exploration of their artistic resilience.

The band teamed up to record their new track “Do iT” at Boogie Park Studios, one of the most successfu music studios in Germany. The creation of this song is something very special because it actually came about completely by chance and almost spontaneously.

“Do iT” offers an insight into the personal and professional challenges that Jasmin Neuninger and Roman Schrank faced in the past year. The song’s creation is associated with a pivotal moment in the band’s career. While Jasmin thought about a possible job change, Neuninger and Schrank struggled with whether they should continue to invest in their music production, music marketing and instruments or focus on something else instead. This period of uncertainty led to a critical decision point for both, compounded by the challenges presented by today’s highly competitive music industry.

“Do iT” emerged from a spontaneous session in the rehearsal room at that time. In a spark of creative momentum, the two decided not to rehearse their usual live set and routine for once. Instead, they improvised new music just to make something that was more fun and more liberating for both of them. This impromptu session led to the creation of the song and captured a moment of unplanned inspiration that really paid off. The text was written after the session. That same evening, it embodied a sense of urgency and a desire to act instinctively rather than routinely and to keep that creative flame alive.

In a landscape where musicians are often confronted with the dichotomy between passion and sustainability, Gentle Glow’s new release is a reminder of the profound meaning of music that goes beyond financial gain. “Do iT” conveys the message of following your intuition and seizing the moment, which reflects a broader “carpe diem” philosophy. This topic is particularly relevant at a time of uncertainty and challenges for artists.

The song is notable for its stylistic diversity and showcases the band’s ability to combine different influences into a cohesive sound.

Gentle Glow’s “Do iT” will capture the attention of music lovers and critics alike, offering both a personal narrative and an immersive sonic experience. As the band embarks on their artistic journey, this new single marks a significant chapter in their evolving story. The song will be available in September. In the meantime, you can already delve deeper into the artist’s discography!

We are excited to announce that the powerful, rocking and melodic new single ‘Read My Lips’ from MATD Feat ‘Johanna Koskiniemi’ is now on our A-List Playlist. Stay tuned to hear this track night and day on the playlist + it will also be spun as a special ALTERNATIVE ROCK POWERPLAY at 8 PM Pacific for the next month.

This was the first MATD song Marcos Kuusjärvi and Veli Eronen sent to Finland’s Eurovision Song Contest. The song didn’t qualify, and it was never released. The song was completely remade in 2024, and the lyrics were also changed to a “lighter direction”. At the same time, it became more of a rock song.

The original idea of the song was that dictators don’t have a happy ending! The people will eventually revolt and put an end to the dictatorship. Maybe not the ultimate Eurovision material. The song was transformed to tell a new kind of story. In the new version, we approach a relationship. What could a cheating spouse read from your lips? Read My Lips! “As long as the heart beats with the rhythm of love Love needs trust, another one bites the dust.”

Singer Johanna Koskiniemi is a former music class teacher who has also just completed a basic degree in metalwork. She has always loved music and has been involved in some way with music all her life. Johanna has studied piano, saxophone, and trumpet and has also taken singing lessons.

She has also been seen in various singing competitions and theater productions and has studied music and acting all the way abroad. Johanna has been voted FinnRadio.FM’s hit Artist of the Year two years in a row, and the song she recorded, Tee Mulle Taivas, was chosen on the same channel as Hit of the Year 2023.

Nowadays, Johanna has consciously moved in a more pop direction in her production. The wonderful collaboration that started a year ago with the band MATD now continues with an even rockier song. Read My Lips is Johanna’s second English recording. It is a survival story about a difficult relationship and breakup. It is even faintly psychedelic verses lead the listener to a moment when they realize that life is far too short to waste on a bad relationship; stop crying, everything will be alright! In the chorus, the middle finger is shown to the whole world! I survived the cheater gets to bite the dust!

Charlie Harris, the main singer songwriter of Keep Guessing, hails from the vibrant city of Johannesburg, South Africa.

But Charlie’s journey into music wasn’t a straight path—it was a winding road filled with self-discovery, hundreds of songs, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity.

Who is Gianluca Zanna, CEO of Zanna Records?

Gianluca Zanna’s musical journey began in Rome, Italy, where he spent his early childhood by the sea, enchanted by his grandfather’s serenades and the epic cinematic scores from his family’s movie theatre. However, his idyllic surroundings changed when he entered Italy’s prestigious National Boarding School “Convitto Nazionale” at just 10 years old. Later, he attended the elite Military Academy Nunziatella, the world’s oldest military school.

It was during his time at boarding school that Zanna discovered music’s transformative power. Rather than playing soccer like his peers, he immersed himself in songwriting, finding old instruments in the school’s attic and teaching himself to play guitar, bass, and drums. At the same time, Zanna developed a love for classical Italian poetry, drawing inspiration from greats like Ovid, Dante, and Petrarch. This passion for words and music led him to fill notebooks with poetry, which would later become lyrics for his songs.

As a young dreamer in Italy, Gianluca looked up to legendary producer and sound engineer Brian Reeves, who worked with icons such as Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, and U2. Today, Reeves collaborates with Zanna, mixing some of his most recent tracks, including ‘I Want to Know,’ ‘Storm,’ ‘I AM,‘ and ‘The Other Side of My Heart (Remix).’

Ayana John is a Reggae/Dancehall Singer/Songwriter from Barbados, West Indies. Known for her songs, Bajan Story, Guns ‘n Roses, Paper Chase, Do Bad, and viral hit, Pop Shite (200,000+ views on Twitter), she refers to her personal musical style as ‘a Caribbean feel with pop appeal’. She won the award for Best Reggae Singer in November 2020 by The Lady Flava Radio Network Awards in Connecticut, USA.

For the past decade, dynamic vocals, choreography, and energy have become a signature of her live shows. O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Reggae on the Hill, Nottingham Carnival, MIDEM, NACA, and SxSW are just a few big stages upon which Ayana John has performed. Displaying a modelesque physique, Ayana has attracted Barbadian designers such as Nefertari, Pauline Bellamy, and Lucy Lui to model their designs on stages and red carpets. As a former Ms. Barbados Bikini and 1st runner-up Ms. Barbados Universe, a passion for fashion and stage preexisted before the music.

Holding a BSc. in Pure Mathematics from The University of The West Indies, Cave Hill Campus, an MBA from UNICAF University, a Diploma in Popular Music Practice from The University of West London, alongside a certificate in Copyright Law from Harvard Law School, Ayana explains that it was her mother’s wish for her children to all graduate from university. She states that she made a promise to her mother that while pursuing a career in music, she would at least complete her bachelor’s. Ayana notes that her academic experiences have gifted her with the knowledge of time management and its importance to her personal and professional life.

Ayana seeks to create musical connections beyond The Caribbean because she acknowledges that there is potential for major growth of her brand in territories such as the United Kingdom, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the United States. Since Rihanna, the presence of Barbadian musical acts on the international music charts has been lackluster. The goal is to make a significant crossover to the musical mainstream with a strong sense of Caribbean identity.

In a serendipitous fusion of talent born from the digital realm, the latest single “Aqua” emerges as a vibrant testament to the power of online collaboration. Dale Digitale and Hashtagman, hailing from the bustling music scene of Johannesburg, South Africa, unite their creative forces to unveil a synthwave masterpiece that transcends boundaries.

The genesis of this collaboration traces back to the viral sensation platform, TikTok, where the duo first connected. Hashtagman, a multifaceted artist renowned for his prowess in production, launchpad wizardry, and DJ finesse, brings his eclectic palette to the table. His fervent passion for Electronic Dance Music (EDM) fuels his exploration across various genres, ranging from pulsating house beats to the hypnotic realms of psytrance and techno.

With a vision to infuse hues of sonic vibrancy into the musical landscape, Hashtagman embarks on a chromatic journey. Enter “Aqua,” the inaugural installment in his ambitious “synesthesia” playlist project. Each release, aptly named after a color, aims to paint auditory canvases that resonate with listeners on a visceral level. This synthwave opus, crafted alongside longtime friend Dale Digitale, signifies a departure into uncharted territory for both artists.

Dale Digitale, a luminary in the realm of synthesizer mastery, channels his penchant for 80s-infused Synthwave Pop into the fabric of “Aqua.” His storied past, marked by stints in London’s Indie Rock scene with Fur-lined, lends depth to his musical journey. From gracing the airwaves of BBC Radio One to rubbing shoulders with Britpop icons like Suede, Dale’s evolution as an artist is as compelling as it is diverse.

Now, in the digital age, Dale Digitale finds solace in the pulsating rhythms of synthesizers and the boundless possibilities they entail. TikTok serves as his canvas, where he showcases his sonic experiments and infectious synth pop grooves to an ever-expanding audience.

As “Aqua” washes over the airwaves, listeners are invited to immerse themselves in a sonic ocean teeming with nostalgia and innovation. With Dale Digitale and Hashtagman at the helm, the future of electronic music shines brighter than ever, beckoning enthusiasts worldwide to ride the wave of their electrifying collaboration.
