With “Monsters” the Hamburg singer The Sultan releases his latest work in style of the spooky season. The single is not only a must-have for every Halloween playlist, but also convinces between the lines. As an oriental sultan in a turban, he sings and dances like a Western pop star and thus unites two cultures that are particularly close to his heart. We have now spoken to the Sultan of Pop in an interview about his new single “Monsters” and why his art contributes to inclusion and integration. We are happy to make the interview available to you royalty-free.
THE SULTAN OF POP – INTERVIEW
As pop sultan you have created a unique music project. What does it mean to you to combine Eastern and Western influences?
The Sultan: It’s about combining the best of both influences into one positive concept. I have always been good at finding common denominators. At home we used to live oriental values, among friends and at school I adapted to the Western culture. That’s how I got to know and love both sides and therefore I know exactly how to convey this feeling of unity in an entertaining way. The Sultan of Pop is supposed to make people curious – I mean, a guy with a turban who sings and dances like a Western pop star?
Through my unique modern oriental style I want to bring people of different cultures and different ages together. The whole thing is presented with a big wink, so that my art stands for inclusion and integration. In the long run I want to make The Sultan an experience and thus a kind of paradise world, where everyone can dive into and be motivated. My music is like a flying carpet that takes you there.
Your new single is called “Monsters” and is the Halloween hit par excellence. What was your motivation for making the song?
The Sultan: In the style of the 80s and 90s, such as Michael Jackson’s legendary thriller mini-musical, I wanted to create a Halloween song that would put people in a good mood and carry them away. In the music video we playfully deal with the topic of fear: After all, the biggest “monster” we can encounter in everyday life is our own insecurities, nightmares and “one’s weaker self”.
Do you have a soft spot for the creepy season?
The Sultan: I have always celebrated this day, even though the American trend has long gone unnoticed in Germany. I’m terribly happy that Halloween also plays a significant role in Germany today. In fact, the Sultan of Pop was also created at a Halloween party. I dressed up as the Sultan like in Aladdin and became the star of the evening.
You’ve created a great music video with zombies. How was the production for you and what is behind the idea of the video?
The Sultan: I‘ve had pictures and ideas for the realization of the video right from the beginning of the song and wanted to combine the coolness of the 90s with today’s technology and quality. And the focus is on The Sultan as a modern oriental figure. The music video was produced very elaborately: We worked on different sets and shot almost 24 hours in a row. Nevertheless, all team members were fully motivated and after each scene it was a great pleasure to see the first pictures on the camera monitor, close together. The team was simply great!
With your music you are mainly in the pop sector. Are there other genres that influence you in your songwriting?
The Sultan: I’ve completed my Master of Arts in innovation studies, so thinking outside the box is in my blood. I grew up with pop, RnB and gospel, but I know no boundaries in music genres, and I get inspired by all influences, such as classical, rock or EDM.
How does the development process from a song to the final release look like for you?
The Sultan: It is totally different, I don’t have a fixed schedule. Sometimes I just play a note or a chord on the piano and continue to develop the sequence. For “Monsters” I first had a melody in my head, then I spun a chorus to it, very intuitively. The rest of the song was created around the Halloween theme.
How do you continue after “Monsters”? Do you already have new songs in planning?
The Sultan: I do have new songs and themes in the pipeline, but I don’t want to give too much away yet. Of course, I want to produce a new music video for every project. I’m pretty sure that you will like the next songs as much as “Monsters”.

Bay Area-based Indie Artist, Celiane the Voice, parlays her business acumen into building a formidable brand—in the booth and in the boardroom.
When the pandemic struck, Celiane the Voice watched her thriving music career come to a screeching halt. Gigs were abruptly cancelled, venues were closed, ticket sales were refunded to the customers, concerts were indefinitely postponed and her career was at a standstill.
For the first time in her entire music career, Celiane did not to know if her career would be able to weather this storm (also known as the Coronavirus crisis). Just like other artist and musicians, she had to face the uncertain reality brought on by a Global pandemic that completely disrupted the entertainment industry. As the months progressed, she was faced with two choices: 1. Throw in the towel or 2. Reinvent herself. She chose the latter.
https://youtu.be/s37XHc6xBN4
Eight months since the world as we knew it changed forever, Celiane the Voice made the decision to tap into her business savvy and build a brand that superseded music. She put together a Business Plan and started a company.

“I’m an entertainer, but I also have a Business background so I knew at the onset of the pandemic that I would have to pivot if I wanted to save my career. I knew that it was no longer business as usual, so I tapped into my talents and skill set and diversified my brand”, said Celiane.

I don’t know about you, but when I watch a movie, I like it to have some sweet tunes on the soundtrack. Otherwise, the experience just isn’t complete for me. Music helps you feel the atmosphere better, it serves to immerse into the story – and personally, I love that.
Now, if you’re anything like me, you’re in good luck, because I’ve got just the thing for you – the independent film “Flint Tale” and its masterful soundtrack.
Directed by Michigan-born Marc Cayce, the film follows the aftermath of the Flint Water scandal from a few years ago, when it was discovered that the water in the area was contaminated. The movie tells the tale of the disgraced chief of police following the scandal, and it’s a well-rounded, compelling journey overall.
But we’re not here to focus on the film itself, but rather the songs that accompany it. Cayce is the founder of Foremost Entertainment, the company which also produced the film, and is also heading the new-founded Foremost Records, which is the label from which most of our artists hail.
Throughout the film, we run into Intelligent Diva, with her classic hit “Sexy Walk”. Intelligent Diva has been gathering quite the following thanks to her sensual, seductive singing style, but also her powerful, compelling voice and the vivid imagery in her lyrics.
Of course, we also see artists Allegra White and Troy Laz with the catchy “Livin the Life”.
Then, we have renowned artists like Big Ty Stick, whose moving “We All We Got” really brings the message of the movie home for most viewers, as well as Michigan-born artist Bootleg, from the Dayton Family, with the track “City of Lead”, which is both gritty and evocative.
The soundtrack also welcomes a few powerful debuts: one from artist Orlando Peay, who is featured in “Flint Tale” both as a musician, with the evocative track “Couple of Days”, but also as an actor (he plays the part of an Uber driver in the film). And then, we have the debut of artist KellieKell who really puts her considerable writing talent on display with her brand new hit “Mama”.
All in all, the film is as much a visual journey as it is an auditory one, and a thoroughly delightful experience, whichever way you look at it.
Talented songwriter, singer, producer and adventurer, Bryan Mullis a.k.a By Small Ruin is back with another Big Radio Friendly rock hit as he unleashes his romantic driving rock song ‘Like Heaven’.
Catchy and with the warm BSR melodic signature and accompanied with a romantic music video, By Small Ruin land firmly on the Global Pop Rock landscape with a fantastic driving Rock Pop gem and inspiring romantic music video.
When talking about the new single BSR says “I wrote this song to express how I felt when I finally found that special someone who makes me a better person just by knowing her. She encourages me to be my best self even when I don’t believe I have it in me – never preachy, just living by example”.
By Small Ruin’s melodies have reached the edges of the earth as ‘Bryan Mullis’ spontaneous travels and adventurous experiences became a staple of inspiration in his music. By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible. Busking since high school, he has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees. Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which “lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
I know I don’t compare
Not in a million years
You are a queen and I’m a pawn
But I want you for my own
It feels like heaven when you’re here
How ’bout sticking around?

And something that you said
You said I could do great things
I started to agree
You got me to believe
It feels like heaven when you’re here
How ’bout sticking around?
And just like heaven, you’re better than I am
You won’t let me fall down
You’re just like heaven

Melbourne based singer-songwriter Shayne Cook is releasing another two tracks from his debut LP ‘Epiphonetics’ which is due late October. ‘Restless Lovers’ and ‘Back to Love’ will be available on all digital platforms from August 25.
Born from a gentle descending guitar, ‘Restless Lovers’ is the love you had to have. The one that’s intense, all consuming, knows how to trigger and will faintly beat in your memories with a promise of good love again.
The piano by Phil Turcio, Bass by Chris Bekker and the drum track from Josh Barber stay restrained but dance in response to the raw and reminiscent lyric. Orchestral composition by Tilman Robinson and played by City of Prague symphony Orchestra builds on the rawness of this track to bring Producer Simon Moro’s focus’s each element of the song in its own sonic dimension and overall, letting the song guide the production to allow it be the most beautiful song you will here today
Listen to ‘Restless Lovers’.
‘Back to Love’ was inspired at a particular anxiety fuelled low point of life during the process of writing the album. Shayne headed to one of his favourite Melbourne parks, Darebin Parklands to drunkenly wallow and sleep out in the car. It was also a full moon which is a stunning view in this park, so ideal for self pity. The lyrics came to the song that night with a previous guitar part stuck in Shaynes head. It deals with hitting lows as a person and supposing that happens with people as whole as well – and in that shit storm of feeling the only possible direction other than complete destruction is something that feels in some sort of direction closer to love.
Cook describes ‘Back to Love’ as initially a guitar-based folk song, “but when Chris Bekker came in and improvised a muted and percussive bass line, instantly we knew this is what the song needed – it transformed the song into something completely new.
The guitar driven song became a bass driven song which just really gave the darkness the song deserved. Simon also had an idea to get the orchestra to create the click sounds with their bow and instrument using a techniques called pizzicato. This just added to the movement. The last note of the song you can hear the snap of one of the violins bridge plates which we thought made sense just to stop it there”
Check out ‘Back to Love.’
‘Restless Lovers’ / ‘Back to Love’ will be released on August 25.
‘Epiphonetics’ will be released on October 23.

His musical influences span from Nick Cave to Ainslie Wills, Bon Iver to City and Colour, Tom Isanek to Thom Yorke, Emma Louise and beyond. With his debut LP ‘Epiphonetics’ Cook has delivered an impressive introduction of 9 songs that highlight a raw and open songwriter with notable talent, his music not convoluted or overly elaborate, his vocals both fresh and yet familiar, and the songs delivered with heart and honesty.
Atmospheric album opener ‘Stawell Gift’ is driven from a piano riff droning in a hypnotic loop. Piano, on this and the rest of the album was played by the masterful Phil Turcio with Shayne and producer Simon Moro both adding keys/ piano elements to the track. Josh Barber added all the additional mood on drums. The song is particularly personal as it is an ode to Cook’s father, describing his history of being abandoned at an orphanage and eventual adoption.
‘Shouldn’t War’ with its hypnotic percussive colour, haunting legato piano lines and syncopated acoustic guitar is Cook’s response to a someone dear to him revealing having suffered a sexual assault. The sense of sadness, anger and helplessness felt by both the victim and Cook stayed with him for a long time – his vocals giving full range of expression to the anguish reverberating in the listener.
Third track on the album ‘Blood’ is in essence, about feeling love, almost unexplainable, but coursing through your veins, and the idea of losing that beauty is like a death itself. The song’s concept had been with Cook for many years, morphing and developing until what it is today. Producer Simon Moro perfectly highlights each instrument in such an intricate way to allow Cook’s vocals to gently float on the rhythm to end up soaring through the mood shifts. Drums from Josh Barber, Chris Bekker on Bass, and orchestral composition from Tilman Robinson.
‘Matters of the Heart’ features a 12 string acoustic waltzing with the rhythm section while Shayne’s heartfelt vocals describe the decisions made by the heart and also those made by the head. The impulsive and the considered; the questions we ask about what is or what isn’t “right’, making a choice fraught with risk; knowing all well the probability of failure, but still going ahead anyway. The junction between letting go or holding on tight and seeing where love leads.
Cook originally thought ‘Matters of the Heart’ was a throw –away demo, but album producer Simon Moro heard it and suggested they see how it developed. His ideas and finesse as a producer/ engineer – including utilising contacts at the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra for strings on the song, helped ensure the song made the cut for his debut, and indeed become the album’s first single, scoring support from the likes of Triple J’s Roots N All and CBAA / 2SER FM’s Dirt Music.
‘Restless Lovers’ Born from a gentle descending guitar, ‘Restless Lovers’ is the love you had to have. The one that’s intense, all consuming, knows how to trigger and will faintly beat in your memories with a promise of good love again.
The piano by Phil Turcio, Bass by Chris Bekker and the drum track from Josh Barber stay restrained but dance in response to the raw and reminiscent lyric. Orchestral composition by Tilman Robinson and played by City of Prague symphony Orchestra builds on the rawness of this track to bring Producer Simon Moro’s focus’s each element of the song in its own sonic dimension and overall, letting the song guide the production to entice you back for another listen.
‘Disaster Yet’ is an argument between lovers. The fight is not the end of the world, and you know the moment you are lying in bed wrapped in each other that it is all going to be ok. The string arrangement by Timan Robinson sends the song into a dream state leaving the guitar to create the misty lake the dream passes within. Phil Turcio on piano, Josh Barber on drums, Chris Bekker on bass complimenting the simplicity and movement of the narrative. Shayne’s vocals sit in a place between both the simplicity and sometimes underlying complexity of the subject matter.
Describing the inspiration for ‘City Fire Lights’ Cook explains “Music has always been my innermost desire to pursue. Prior to writing this album I was working full time in finance. While I most definitely did enjoy my job I always felt music was my calling and time felt it was slipping away. Walking away from comfort and predictability can be tough. I also felt like I had left my run too late, that I’d put it off due to insecurity and waiting for everything to be right. Turns out there is no such thing as the right time and you can spend all your time waiting for the right time.” Phil Turcio on Piano a piacere with Shayne sets the introspect of the song while the full band kicks in with resolve.
‘Back To Love’ which received airplay from both Triple J’s Roots N All and Double J’s Stir It Up amongst others started as a guitar based folk song. As Shayne explains, “When Chris Bekker came in and improvised a muted and percussive bass line instantly we knew this is what the song needed – it transformed the song into something completely new. The guitar driven song became a bass driven song which just really gave the darkness the song deserved. Simon also had an idea to get the orchestra to create the click sounds with their bow and instrument using a techniques called pizzicato. This just added to the movement. The last note of the song you can hear the snap of one of the violins bridge plates which we thought made sense to keep”.
Ritual
Imagine sunshine streaming through the window while you sit with your lover enjoying a coffee. The romanticism of talking about owning that farmhouse one day and heading on a sea change to escape the city. Sitting on the back steps together with a whiskey after a shitty week. Unsleeving that Nick Cave record and listening to ‘Into My Arms’ while entwined with your lover for those few minutes. These things. The moments we cherish.
Shayne explains “I had originally written the solo on a midi keyboard with a saxophone as a choice of sounds it was a little corny but I liked it. Uncle George’s piano accordion coupled with a lush reverb was the obvious replacement for this on the album and fittingly George is also a man that enjoys the simple rituals of life.”
“In all I feel this album was about me taking the leap into my passion and releasing music.
It’s what I feel I have to give to the world and this album is the beginning of that”

Now embarking on the title “Triangle Clique”, they are a trio from New York city who founded themselves on the entity of awesomeness and redefining music. Magical Right?
Well we haven’t even initiated yet. But addressing the first query, who is “Triangle Clique”? For your knowledge, the answer is plainly talented, the solely correct response and why wouldn’t it be. Succeeding from New York to the stages of the world, the trio itself is encompassing of three brothers all of which are the characterization of competence and inspiration with songs like “chiwanna” that dwell in the psyche and souls of others leaving behind a permanent impression that can never be eliminated.
Lit beats to groove on and never lasting impression of marvelousness is the specialty of “Triangle Clique”, the music of whom is the instance of majestic universalness which renders everyone groove to the fire tracks and savage raps engraving in their disposition making them crave for more and more. Cool Right?
Well, their commitment to this lifelong love of music is what propels them truly worth listening and biasing as diversity in music is the essence of life. Not only that, with countless albums and tracks devoted to the fans and several more set to broadcast they clearly hinted the world that there not here to play games.
Popularity reveals the best in artist by unleashing the potential they have. Quite the perfect viewpoint for “Triangle Clique” who exhibited their popularity in pretence of the world at the time when Jim Reyes (with Diva Records) requested them to perform at club as people were vacating. Insane to think that an entity like Jim Reyes saw the potential in the trio that was about to set the world on fire by establishing new trends and aspirations to attain. Suppose, a club with a crowd of people and the unique sound infused with Hip Hop, Urban and Latino vibes. Literally nothing but a heaven. That’s the power of “Triangle Clique” who even before their debut created such a clamor among the industry who would state that “The bosses are coming”.
Growing up in a crime infested Elmhurst, these boys didn’t let destiny take over their path.

While we as a world speed forward on an uncharted flight to an unknowable destination, predictions and hearsay is all you hear in the backseats on this excursion into a strange new Paradigm.
One prediction that has come to play out is Dar.Ra whose album New Kinda Normal released in 2019 told of tales of future society changes, while the front cover art showed a couple walking down and empty high street in a bubble.
Did he know something we didn’t at the time and was anyone paying attention to the fine lines of that release. Since we have seen massive changes and other artists not releasing any new material, we have seen more out put from Dar.Ra rather than less.
The EP ‘Stand Up For The Heroes’ was an honourable attempt to give the Keyworkers and Frontline Heroes of the Pandemic something more than just a round of applause, something that people could sing and show their Love, with proceeds given to Frontline worker charities.
The ‘Whisky n Honey’ EP featured a great Bowie style track with sublime subplot of a Love given up on for a pursuit of fast love and neon highs only to end up empty and alone wishing for a life that will never come back.
The Lights Dark Nights remix was the epitome of genre called ‘Rock Step’, which Dar.Ra claims to have invented. If you’re looking for the blueprint you can find it on this EP and the ‘New Kinda Normal’ Album
The latest release schedule doesn’t let up with a new single ‘Rise Like The Sun’. A Latin rock groove that cuts through the current climate like a hot knife through butter.

I had an incredible time working with Sage, who ended up being one of my closest confidants in the industry. I consider him my big brother. I was fortunate enough to be able to work really closely with AZ Films to create a visual that matches the energy of the song. We always want to outdo ourselves, so we came up with the idea of filming the music video on a yacht! I had such a great time working with my closest friends on this music video.”

You’re looking for a quality tune or two to pass the summer and help you get over the heat. Who isn’t? But we’ve got excellent news for you, because if you’re here for that, then we’ve got just the thing. We were lucky enough to hit upon an artist that will appeal to listeners of any genre through his smooth, melodic voice and his chill rhythm.
The man we’re talking about here is The Real King Marz, out of Logan, West Virginia. This American singer and songwriter has been on the rapping scene for a few years now, and in that time, he’s really affirmed himself as one of the guys you want to watch. Over the last four years, he’s consistently brought out quality music, and none more so than his latest offering, the album “Marz on Earth”.
As the name tells us, this brand new album deals with anything and everything to do with Earth and humanity, which is why we’re so convinced you’ll like it. You’re human, aren’t you?
The other reason why you’ll like tracks like “Application”, “Shade” or “What It Look Like” is Marz’s unique style and voice. His voice is thrilling, with just the right amount of edginess to it, and yet just enough softness to make him appeal to softer listeners. He doesn’t get in your face, yet he manages to show you his attitude. This guy’s strong, but also gentle. In other words, The Real King Marz’s voice is the perfect expression of humanity – it’s complex, melodic, soft and strong, vulnerable, yet full of attitude.
And as such, it’s a delight for the listener. On this album, you’ve got darker and slower tunes, like “Shade”, but also songs that lift the mood and give you a veritable taste of life in the hood, like “Drive Thru”.
The Real King Marz brings out a lot of sensibility on this latest track, and shows us just what it means to be a human, to love and be a father to your child. He also touches upon other important subjects like loyalty and friendship, and being true to yourself which, if we’re being honest, is what art is all about.
So do yourself a favour, and go listen to “Marz on Earth” if you haven’t already.
I know you’re tired of hearing about “the next big thing”. Trust me, I am too.
We keep being told that so-and-so artist is the one you need to be listening to, or that someone else is the one to watch, but in this case, he really is. I was just as surprised as you were, but this new artist I wanna talk to you about really is worth checking out.
Why? Because he’s exciting. Because he puts out good music that will obsess you days and even weeks from now. Because “Hour of Destiny” is quite possibly the best album I’ve heard in years, and that alone should be enough to get you to check it out. Seriously, do you know how much music I listen to? So when I say that, well, you better believe it.
“Hour of Destiny” comes at your from skilled hip hop artist La Stat, out of Hartford CT. A man with a deep passion for music and a complex understanding of sound and rhythm, La Stat knew early on that this was the way for him to go, and he’s followed his passion relentlessly ever since his youth.
And you feel that in his music. Songs like “Playin Fa Keeps”, sure, that’s one of the bangers on this album, one of those songs that you feel deep in your bones as ringing true and honest. In fact, I think that’s one of the things that really gets me about this artist – the profound honesty and heartfelt quality of each lyric.
“Hour of Destiny” is choc-full of great examples of that. Tracks like “Soulful Represent” that speak to you about life and about the role of art in the 21st century. “Soulful Represent” is a compelling exercise in introspection, and since we all do that more or less constantly, it’s easy to see why it’s such a catchy, memorable tune.
Then of course, we’ve got the more hardcore, filled with attitude songs like “Fear No Man”. The type of music that gives listeners the strength to go on and helps them feel strong, like they can take on the world. And that’s exactly what music should do. Good music, at least.
Each track on La Stat’s album fills you with a unique eotion and I could probably fill another page or ten talking about what I feel listening to his killer rhythm. But honestly, I think it’d be even better if you hit the play button and just saw what his music makes you feel, instead.
Too often in our modern society, we focus on the infantile nature of children and associate youth with bad decisions, zits and insecurity. We forget that youth is by far the most creative and prodigious period in any human being’s life. And as such, we should not be looking for moody teenagers, but for child prodigies among our young.
Luckily for us, one such prodigy comes to us unbidden and opens our eyes to all the greatness a young person has to offer. That’s right, we’re talking about 13-year-old musician Zara Desai, who has recently released her debut album.
The daughter of acclaimed music producer Kenz Desai, Zara knew early on that music was her passion. Felt it in her bones, one might say, and started composing songs with her father at the precocious age of five.
Now, less than ten years later, she is ready to take the world by storm. Her album, entitled simply “On Point”, is comprised of only two tracks, but what tracks they are! A veritable exercise in energy, the both of them. Truly a testament to that incomparable energy for things that you have in your youth. Though of course, what matters is knowing how to channel that energy, and Zara does so superbly here.
The first track, “Planetary Wonder”, hits you right away with a blast of synth perfection, carefully arranged to fit Zara’s melodic and emotional voice. It’s a great tune to dance to, but it’s also quite a meaningful piece, once you get down to listen to the lyrics. Yes, it’s a club banger, but a delightful and heartfelt banger, which shows us Zara’s songwriting skill.
Daughter of acclaimed music producer ‘Kenz Desai’ goes in a funky synth pop direction with ‘Planetary Wonder’ and ‘Deep South’ as ‘Zara Desai’ releases the smoking hot ‘On Point’
This is furthermore highlighted in the next track, “Deep South”. While also a great synth piece created with her father, well-versed in producing quality music, “Deep South” gives you a glimpse into what it’s like to be a young artist.
And let me give you a hint – it ain’t easy. “Working hard seven days a week”, as Zara tells us. Through “Deep South”, we get to see the ambition that is essential to any aspiring artist. It’s a highly relatable piece, because we all have some of that ambition within ourselves. And what can I say, hearing it on such a catchy rhythm, well, that just makes us like the track even more!
For a demonstration of the great things people can do (regardless of age), I highly suggest that you give Zara Desai a listen!

Joe Hodgson is a talented guitarist and musician from Northern Ireland. He grew up there at the height of The Troubles, a time of systemic violence and huge political and social unrest, eventually finding an escape from it all via music. Joe honed his craft for several years as a band member in local groups before he finally moved to London to take his passion for music to the next level. After dedicating over two decades of his life to writing, recording, touring, and serving as a lead guitarist for various bands, Joe finally decided to launch a career as a solo guitarist.
Joe recently released his debut solo single, “The One that Got Away”, on August 28, 2020. Based on the concept of ‘change is the only constant’, it is an instrumental track written in the aftermath of the break-up of a long term relationship, and it explores the gut-wrenching, visceral effect that this had on him.
Taking his influences from artists like Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, ELO and Jeff Beck, ‘Joe Hodgson’ releases a majestic, distinctive, guitar fuelled rock odyssey with his epic rock treat ‘The One that Got Away’ – Discover Rock
“The song is a reflection of the feelings of longing and regret that I was harbouring at the time”, he says. “The woman in question was also my manager, and it was as if she knew that there was one type of song missing from the album and that by leaving, she would give me a sufficient dose of the blues to drag it out of me. If that was her motive, it was a stroke of genius”.
“The One That Got away” is a beautiful, heartfelt song that takes the listener on an emotional roller coaster ride. The track demonstrates the artist’s astounding music-making skills and a perfect sense of different rhythms and beats. It is a soulful number that will hit you straight in the heart and leave you wanting more.
Joe Hodgson has a broad taste in music. His musical influences include legends like Gary Moore, Eric Clapton, ELO and Jeff Beck. But the artist who initially inspired him to pick up his guitar and create music was Irish legend Rory Gallagher. The first time Joe heard Rory play, he knew instantly that this is what he wanted to do for the rest of his life. He explains, “It was mind-blowing and after that, nothing else mattered to me”.
When it comes to his musical style, Joe is a rock guitar player who incorporates influences from various genres including blues, funk, Latin and jazz. Working closely with renowned producer and Ivor Novello winner George De Angelis for nearly two decades, is something that Joe cites as having played a major part in nurturing and shaping his career.
Joe has recently finished working on his upcoming debut solo album titled “Apparitions”. The album is set to be released on November 20, 2020, and will be comprised of 15 self-penned instrumentals. The album is based on the same themes as his current single, “The One That Got Away”, while also delving darker and deeper into the human psyche.
New York music journalist Justyn W. Brodsky recently commented that “Joe is a musician who can paint pictures and tells stories with his guitar”. This is a statement that everyone can surely agree on.

Joe Hodgson – The Full Story
While Northern Irish guitarist Joe Hodgson is an accomplished student of the bluesy hard rock he grew up on, it’s his ability to transcend the genre and use his instrument to paint pictures and tell stories that makes him such a vital artist. His compositions are influenced not only by personal experiences, but also by a love of literature and a deep curiosity about the human condition, and are filled with stirring melodies that can evoke the listener’s deepest emotions.
Growing up in rural County Tyrone, Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles, music provided a young Joe with a way to temporarily escape the bleak circumstances around him. His love of guitar was ignited after discovering Irish blues legend Rory Gallagher, and shortly after he managed to procure his first instrument, a battered old second hand Woolworth’s Top Twenty guitar. The day that changed Joe’s life for good though, was when he saw another Irish great, Gary Moore, play at the UK Monsters Of Rock Festival. Joe recalls, “I was blown away by the sheer brilliance of Gary’s playing on every level, and from that moment, all I wanted to do was play guitar”. A hobby quickly turned into a passion, and Joe became obsessed with the instrument, spending all of his free time absorbing the popular hard rock and blues of the day, and gigging around Ireland with his first band Steel Claw.
When the band split up, Joe moved to London where he integrated himself into the city’s thriving indie scene, spending the next two decades writing, recording, touring, and playing lead guitar in various rock bands, releasing numerous albums and singles along the way, and collaborating with an eclectic mix of songwriters on varied musical projects.
During his time in London, Joe worked closely with legendary producer and Ivor Novello winner George De Angelis, who he cites as a major influence on his career, “George took me under his wing and I learnt so much from him about songwriting, production and music in general. He’s a genius and I am very lucky to have met and worked with him”. Joe also embraced the sense of liberation and independence that living in London brought, and it also helped him hone his musical chops; “London changed, challenged and broadened my whole view of music; it forced me to grow up musically, and I quickly realised that touching people’s emotions is far more important than dazzling them with technique”. Joe’s musical explorations led him to branch out and incorporate elements of funk, jazz, and experimental music into his playing, laying the foundations for his future career as a solo guitarist.
After returning to his native Northern Ireland to nurse his terminally ill mother in her final years, Joe began embracing the spiritual nature of music, composing melodies and themes that helped him find peace, solace, and hope in difficult times. “It was soul destroying to see the person I loved most in the world just wither away in front of my eyes, and it had a profound effect on me and my music. The break up of my relationship shortly after, really was the proverbial double whammy, but playing guitar proved to be my saviour. It was incredibly cathartic and it saw me through some dark and difficult times”. The resulting debut solo album, ‘Apparitions’, inspired by his Mum’s favourite W.B. Yeats poem, and dedicated to her, is a meditative and soul-searching collection of instrumentals, full of evocative melodies and atmospheres, that delivers everything from delicate, mournful slide playing to fast and furious gunslinging guitar rock, and everything in between.
The overarching theme of the music is incorporated on the album cover, and as Joe explains “It’s about how nothing ever stays the same, everything changes or decays; lives are lived, and love is lost, but looking forward is the one thing we can all do.
Yes, we may have regrets, but hope and optimism are usually only around the next corner”. So, far from being melancholic or overly sentimental, ‘Apparitions’ reveals Joe as a guitarist capable of using his music to provide a soundtrack for life’s most difficult and most triumphant times; a man with the ability to express his deepest feelings using little more than his guitar.

Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez has dropped his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
MUSIC INTERVIEW:
We met with teenage pop and acting sensation Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez who just dropped his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
Can you tell us a bit about your new record ‘Your Smile’?
I wanted to release a summer song that showcased someone’s smile using the backdrop of a few of Southern California’s stunning locations. I love the beach and so incorporating surfing or flip flops into the lyrics along with a girl’s smile was a must!
‘Your Smile’ is centered around a young girl’s captivating smile that is suddenly noticed by one of her friends, who is looking at her with a different appreciation for the very first time. Her admirer dreams of whisking her away for sandy toes and snow cones on the beach. The lyrics are about how she shouldn’t change a thing as she is fly just the way she is. It is fun, light and bursting full of summer!
Tell us about the music video.
Well, due to the current COVID-19 filming restrictions in Los Angeles, we had to be really careful, so I just had two of my friends and one videographer, plus my mum of course, on set.
We tried to incorporate some of Malibu’s most gorgeous hotspots, and of course me catching a wave at my favourite place, the beach.
Since releasing your debut pop record ‘My Crew’ in July, you have had some great results on the streaming services. Congratulations!
Oh yes, I am thrilled with the response to my music so far. We released my debut record ‘My Crew’ on July 7th and it’s so exciting to see it is currently pushing 200,000 streams. ‘Your Smile’ has been climbing at a rapid rate with over 105,000 streams on Spotify today. I am so grateful to everyone who has listened to the songs so far.
What’s up next for you?
I recording three songs at age twelve during the Los Angeles lockdown, and I am releasing one song consecutively each month, ‘My Crew’, which released on 07.07, ‘Your Smile’ on 08.08 and next in line is ‘Up To You’ on 09.09. I have a further three records penned for later in the year as well as a special Holiday song. I am super excited to tell you about that!
‘Your Smile’ from Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez is currently out and available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Pandora, DEEZER and more!

“Everybody’s got a plan to Be better
I won’t stand for anything less
I don’t need no dried roses”
These lyrics hit me with an unexpected strength and emotion and resonated with something buried deep within myself. And I think it’s not an isolated case. I think it’s precisely this image of being lost, of not having a plan or perhaps having one but not knowing how it will turn out, that will speak to many, both young and old, who take the time to listen to Dominican artist Tehilah’s brand new track, “Dried Roses”.
Now, in order to truly understand this piece, it’s important that we look into the title, that we make an effort to grasp the complex and enchanting imagery that the young, talented artist has sprinkled into the song.
In popular mythology, dried roses (and dried flowers, in general) tend to symbolize bad luck or an ill omen. It’s believed that being gifted a dry rose, or even receiving one that is in-bloom but then quickly dies means the end of a relationship or generally a profound loss.
DISCOVER FEMALE ARTISTS OF 2020: Heavenly and soft voiced Dominican musician ‘Téhilah’ touches your soul with her beautiful golden sweet dreamy song ‘Dried Roses’
In Tehilah’s repetition of the line “I don’t need no dried roses”, this is exactly what she’s telling us, conferring a prayer-like feeling to her song. It’s as if she’s standing here, at the beginning of her journey, and hoping she doesn’t run into any bad luck or bad situations along the way.
It’s also a look back into her past and a resounding message of resilience. “Uncomfortable situations I avoided, Cause I need to be situated,” Tehilah tells us, suggesting that perhaps the dried roses are somewhere in her past, and that she escaped them, that she survived and found her place in spite of the bad luck that came her way.
And what I truly love about this song is that everyone encounters bad luck at some point in their life, don’t they? That’s what makes “Dried Roses”, with the sad, beautiful voice and the soft guitar sound, a universal track that’s very easy to relate to at any point in your life and in almost any circumstance.
“Dried Roses” has this incredible potential to become am emblem to a world that seems to have seen nothing but bad luck lately. And even if you don’t feel that way, even if you’re in a great place in your life right now, I still feel like you should really listen to this tune because… well, because when has good music ever been a bad thing?
There are some songs that don’t stop to ask you what your preferred music genre is or if you listen to this sort of thing or not.
Some songs are simply that good that they don’t actually need to ask, because they know you’ll listen to them anyway, and like them, regardless what your musical tastes look like.
One such song is the recently launched “Aether”, a fascinating collaboration between Maldivian drummer and artist Faizan and the Amadeus Quartet from Romania (a mix of violin, piano and cello).
We won’t bother comparing it with something you might know, because “Aether” is like nothing you’ve heard before. It’s a wonderful, compelling journey that takes you to a higher plane of consciousness through its catchy, memorably rhythm that just encourages you to dance and abandon yourself to the music.
The song also gives food for thought, as the story behind the music video is pretty impressive. In search of creative inspiration, Faizan seeks to connect with the four elements of nature (fire, air, water and earth), only to find something is missing.
He then stumbles upon the famed “fifth element”, which turns out to be aether itself, of course, and with it, encounters four beautiful muses (the members of the Amadeus Quartet) who spark his own imagination and guide his creative journey.
Set against a gorgeous backdrop of the exotic Maldives, we watch Faizan unleash his creative power over the handpan, the instrument that has so marked his solo career, but in the end, we learn it was all a dream.
This definitely raises some question as to the state of the artist in the modern world, as well as the far more general theme of man’s complex relationship to nature.
DISCOVER WORLD MUSIC: Maldivian music artists ‘Faizan’ Feat ‘Amadeus’ produce a well crafted film sized soundtrack of shimmering tropical rhythms, heavenly violins and tinkling piano on their cinematic beach video ‘Aether’ – Discover World Music
“Aether”, which was composed with Romanian composer Xenti Runceanu, is a soothing melody that encourages one to dream and think creatively. It’s a piece that actually says something, despite it having no actual lyrics. And to us, that is super rare and all the more powerful in today’s lackluster music world.
The song will be included on Faizan’s upcoming album (set to release sometime in 2021). For now, we highly encourage you to give it a listen. Or ten.
Because trust us, once you hit play, you’ll find it more and more difficult to stop listening to this undiscovered gem.

2019, from the outset, Texas P’s single spread for his previous release “No Promo” could intently help one to remember what the craftsman Jay-Z would do in his work of art plans.
Which totally speaks to the melodious substance of the tune. Texas P’s melodic impacts incorporate Stevie Wonder, Ghetto Boys, UGK, 2 Pac, Notorious BIG, Luther Vandross and Barry White giving the range to turn into an exceptional craftsman in the music business!

Texas P’s stream is excellent over an exceptionally substantial beat for more than satisfying conveyance over Ayo Rizzi composition. Texas P has a blended sound of the south in with a spot of the Bronx, New York. This leads one to state the popular rhyme “if wasn’t for the Bronx this rap $Hit presumably would not be going on”.
He has a blend of Ludacris, Eminem, Jay-z and Busta Rhymes’ base of stream, verses, and execution.
Previous single “No Promo” single is letting individuals who are not genuine about what they do in their vocation would never contend in this music industry! Be that as it may, Texas P’s blend doesn’t question his south and upper east foundation. The single “No Promo” was debuted on BET JAM and VH1.
Texas P was interviewed on the world famous stations 105.1(New York), this50, Hot97 (New York) and others and now drops two brand new exciting releases.

The single ‘Ta$te It’ continues to grow with having over 30K streams on Spotify and a now trending remix with over 100 dances on TikTok.
‘Ta$te It’ is an infectious hip-hop song that features Katrina Kusa’s confident, yet playful tone atop Indian Trap’s signature ground-breaking production. Katrina calls out her haters in the song with a catchy hook that you will not be able to get out of your head.
Produced by Indian Trap, the production features traditional Indian sounds combined with modern day trap and hip-hop elements creating a soundscape like no other.
Rapping comes naturally to Katrina Kusa, who has always had a way with words. The 16-year-old artist is most famous for her award-winning novel, The Kingdom of the Lizards, which was released in 2014. In 2019, Katrina had the opportunity to work on a music project in Los Angeles, CA that included hints of pop, urban, rap, hip-hop, and trap genres.

XTAXY, who has performed in the past as Polina Butorina, says ,”This was the first song I wrote as XTAXY. The main idea behind it was to embrace the self and ignore the negative comments and opinions of society…” She goes on to say, “The inspiration definitely came from personal experiences and even more from self-reflection and reflection on the world.”
The enigmatic songstress hopes that her music touches funs and encourages them to be their true, authentic selves.
She shares, “I hope it inspires them to be themselves, accept the differences among each other and spread love and inclusion, instead of criticism and judgment. It’s hard to come to terms with being different, sometimes it feels like you’re an outcast and a weirdo, but everyone is different in their own way and they should own this individuality, celebrate and cherish it, instead of trying to put it away and be like someone else.”

‘On June 17th, 2020, International Blues Rock band Izzie’s Caravan released “On The Pull.”
It is their third EP in just six months. It follows their December 2019 debut, “Leo’s Guitar” and February 2020’s “Zephyrs.”
The latter features their current single, “South Of Yesterday,” which has been receiving worldwide airplay and thousands of Spotify and Youtube streams.
Enigmatic lead guitarist and vocalist, Izzie says of the new EP: “This one is a definite back to the blues record…it’s an identity record for us. I think this is where we’ve defined ourselves, as how we perceive ourselves as artists and musicians, and where we want to take this musical journey from here on. When writing these tracks, I really dug into the old Johnny Winter catalog, and that has become a reference point for me personally; to develop a sound that channels that rock and blues merger.”
“Drownin’ Man’s Blues” is the first single off the new E.P ‘On The Pull’.
‘Izzie’s Caravan’ return after 6 months to release their rocking harmonica drenched vibrant ‘Small Faces’ meets ‘Zeppelin’ Blues rock sound on the warm classic fresh sound of ‘On The Pull’ – Discover Blues Rock UK
Izzie started his musical journey by forming a 3-piece band in 2004. The Deep Impactors included two future (and now former) members of the Caravan, Sim and Ray. After becoming disillusioned by the music industry, Izzie took a decades-long respite from guitar, eventually returning to the instrument he loved, just a few years ago.
Referring to himself as a “poor man’s Buddy Guy or Lightnin’ Hopkins,” Izzie cites bands like Led Zeppelin and Aerosmith as early influences, followed by later guitarists like Izzy Stradlin and John Frusciante.
But, it was the blues of Stevie Ray, Eric Clapton, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters, and of course, Buddy Guy, that inspired Izzie’s return to music.
Izzie’s Caravan is a blues-rock outfit with an international flair, that can trace its roots directly to Dire Straits’ massive hit, “Money For Nothing.” Guitar and vocalist, simply named, “Izzie” recalls: “Those powerful drums followed by that insane guitar riff had such a profound effect on me, after that, I always knew that guitar would have some part to play in my life.”

Izzie says, “This is one is a definite back to the blues record…and already I can tell it’s just going to be a very, very raw, very dirty record, and I really want to try and push the boundaries a bit in terms of the lyrical themes as well. I’m already getting excited about it…”
THE FULL STORY OF IZZIE
Rewinding time to when I was growing up, I think ‘culture’ was a lot more defined and less fragmented as it is today.
So having those definitive memories of watching Star Wars as my first movie or listening to ‘Money For Nothing’ by Dire Straits as a very young child, was always a traceable origin point that has consistently defined my identity. Those powerful drums followed by that insane guitar riff had such a profound effect on me, after that I always knew that guitar would have some part to play in my life.
It was around 2004 I believe when I started a 3-piece rock outfit called The Deep Impacters along with Sim on vocals and guitar and Ray on bass. Of course that era was characterised
more by naïveté, the excessive love of inexpensive beer and camaraderie as much as the music was. Needless to say, that didn’t go anywhere although it could have. After that, for good or for bad, I actually fell out of love with music in general.
I was very disillusioned as to where music was headed and the commercialisation of the guitar where I actually didn’t pick it up for over a decade. Fast forward, and maybe a couple of years back I got the encouragement from some close friends and I figured “Why not?” If nothing else, it could be an interesting therapeutic exercise in mid-life. And from there one thing led to another, a rediscovery of authentic blues, ‘Leo’s Guitar’ comes out in Dec 2019, ‘Zephyrs‘ in Feb 2020…and here I am today. In terms of sound, I can see myself as a poor-man’s interpretation of Buddy Guy and Lightnin’ Hopkins :).
Honestly though, most of the confidence I got to do this came from listening to Lightnins records. To me he was the complete artist where had the words and the sound and he performed them in this fearless way which was really captivating. Having had that rubbed off on me, I’ve really tried to keep the guitar and bass playing as raw and gritty as possible. I generally don’t like the over-polished sound…I much rather prefer searching for notes in that moment and capturing that in my recordings.
I think part of the ‘fearless’ aspect was to free myself from the limitations we have nowadays where somehow the guitar has ended up being a competitive sport and the endless debates on speed and technical proficiency. I just feel playing with this level of freedom lends to a more natural ‘conversational’ sound and feel to the song which is perfect for blues playing. In terms of tone, I’m a Fender fanati and the hardest part is deciding which Strat or Tele to use on the day. To my ears at least there’s something so appealing about their tone and even when recording it’s as if this constant process of trying to ‘tame’ the strat which really keeps you on your toes…it’s just so much fun!!!
I actually consider myself very fortunate as far as influences are concerned. Growing up it was of course listening to the likes of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin and just being in awe of the phenomenal musicianship coming out of these bands. And growing up a few decades back, as a fan I’d really get invested in the lives off these musicians so somewhere I started
really getting drawn to band members who weren’t in the spotlight…guys like Izzie Stradlin and Brad Whitford Whose personalities aligned with my introvert personality…Later on John Frusciante was a huge influence…JJ Cale as well.
The great thing though is rock n roll is always a journey, and when I started reverting back to the roots more and more, particularly when I picked up the guitar again, discovering the blues artists was such a life-changing experience.
Going though hours and hours of records and live performances of Stevie Ray, Clapton, John Lee Hooker, Johnny Winter, Muddy Waters… its as if there was this world beyond the macro-world, full of these great musicians. But the one guy that really changed everything for me was Buddy Guy…‘Stone Crazy’ enough said!
Honestly, after I released ‘Zephyrs‘ I was thinking it might time to take a break from recording. But that all soon changed when I started practising and playing around in
general. I had a bunch of ideas lying around so that’s now got me working on the third EP which is titled ‘On The Pull’.
This is one is a definite back to the blues record…and already I can tell its just going to be very, very raw, very dirty record, and I really want to try and push the boundaries a bit in terms of the lyrical themes as well. I’m already getting excited about it because it’s reverting back to form after ‘Zephyrs‘ which was such a shift in gears. Hopefully I should have it done and available by May this year.
Personally, song-writing has to be an introspective experience, so to speak. It has to mean something to me more than anything else! I don’t have the ability to write a generic song because I wouldn’t know how to construct the lyrics to it. I’ve always believed that the experience of writing a song has to be built around trying to capture human experiences based on realism…honest human stories…
If we take the Leos Guitar EP, ‘Two In The Bush’ and ‘Lightnins-a-Howlin’ are just basic commentary on the advantages that the elite possess and how to get by on a day-to-day basis by playing the blues, while ‘Dorian’sLament’ is my personal experience of keeping grounded to my roots while dealing with a world that’s socially and technologically evolving at a rapid pace.
Sometimes it seems most of my lyrics and song-ideas end up coming from just watching the news.
Finally,I’d really like to send out a message to musicians and artists who are dealing with a lot of online ‘trolling‘. It’s sad that there’s such harshness out there sometimes and that can
be a deterrence to young musicians learning their craft, or even great artists who may just choose not promote themselves… Be yourself! As a severe introvert, it has always been difficult for me to publicize or promote my music.
But once you realize that it’s your own creation and it’s something you will carry with you forever, own it and be proud of what you’ve accomplished.
We live in a world of arbitrary are irrationally harsh, but it’s important to believe in what you do and what you create!

The History of BSR
Busking since high school, the college dropout has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees.
Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which:
“lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
The brand new single ‘Some People from ‘By Small Ruin’ is out now.
Cast my lot
The only one that can take a shot
By myself a lot
I'm all alone, but I'm all I got
And there's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
Take you down a notch
Damned if you do, damned if you do not
You know it's all a game to them
I'm gonna win it, rob them blind
And there's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
The less you give it, the more it takes
And unless you live it, it will fade away
Write it off to 'my head's in the clouds', it can plague some people
Lighters up in a room with a crowd, let me find my people.
The more you give it, the less it takes
And until I live it, I won't go away
There's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
Yeah
Some people want me to just give in
Oh, but I got news
Some people will never box me in
They'll never box me in

Based on his life experiences, ‘Stepping Stones’ is a musical record of Gushy’s come-up from a place of darkness and his personal promise to do better every day.
“There was a point in my life where I didn’t know how to deal with my problems and it would affect the way I would socialise with people. I isolated myself as a result. Now that I’m in a good place, I want to help others that are not necessarily in the greatest of places themselves.
I want them to know how I was able to work towards maintaining my mental peace. I never want anyone to feel the way I did but if it ever comes to that stage then I hope my current and future projects can help them get through the tough times.” – GUSHY

Modrick Buck is a fast rising rapper going places in the Hip-Hop, Rap, Grime and Trap world.
Modrick Buck however doesn’t associate himself with these genres with his musical vision directly focused on his fans.
London 80’s Pop hero Adam Ant felt the same and said in the 80’s “That music’s lost it’s taste, so try another flavour”.
Modrick Buck adopts a similar musical manifesto being open and proud of his independent fight and life journey to becoming a hot named rapper in London City delivering his own unique sound.

So where does MODRICK BUCK come from ?
Modrick Buck grew up in Africa in the impoverished and corrupt country of Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe is a landlocked country located in Southern Africa, between the Zambezi and Limpopo Rivers, bordered by South Africa, Botswana, Zambia and Mozambique.
Breaking free after defeating personal battles and struggles, Modrick Buck moved to the UK to tell his story with his unique direct spit and musical vision building a fast growing following.
Modrick Buck has already collaborated on a feature with the world famous “Kidd Kidd” who was once signed to the dope G Unit.
Modrick Buck is driven by story telling and strong real lyrical content and is set to run his own ‘Dope Boy Clothing’ brand.
From his humble roots in Zimbabwe Africa to becoming a fast rising breakout artist in London UK, Modrick Buck continues his story telling and unique Rap sound.

‘Self-Made’ is an enchanting beat and melody-driven single with a mysterious African meets Eastern flava and magnificent beats under a catchy, addictive, efficient, distinctive and unique spit and rap that stays in your head. Poppy but dark and cool.
This is catchier than Drake, but cooler and with better more intelligent lyrical content. You can dance like Michael Jackson, but you can also dance through life breaking down your obstacles uniquely like Modrick Buck and Kidd Kidd.
From Africa to the UK a big new name arrives from the trending continent of the music industry and spreading to the world and home of grime London City.
Summer’s here, the sun is hot in the sky and you’re just craving a good, cold cone of ice cream, right?
We know the feeling. And let us tell you, you’ll be craving it a lot more when you hear the song we’ve got for you.
This one’s simply called “Ice Cream” and it’s coming from Florida-based artist Intelligent Diva.
In spite of the chilly name, the tune is so deliciously steamy you’ll get your sunglasses all foggy, and that’s no empty boast.
With characteristic sass and sexiness, Intelligent Diva gets right down and dirty with this one. If you haven’t inferred from what we’ve told you so far, “Ice Cream” is most definitely not a song for folks under eighteen. Why? Well, because Intelligent Diva tells us, rather explicitly, of all the different joys and pleasures ice cream can bring about… especially in couples. Yep, this one’s S-T-E-A-M-Y, steamy, so you better get ready.
DISCOVER NAUGHTY BUT NICE RNB DIVAS: Seducing you with her dreamy ‘Barry White’ beating Jazzy soulful modern Trap RnB fusion the dope ‘Intelligent Diva’ scoops out some exotic and groovy ‘Ice Cream’
“Ice Cream”, taken off the marvellously titled album “Seduction”, which just dropped on the 8th, is practically the story of two people, a chocolate boy and an unabashed woman who meet for the first time and have some pretty interesting ideas about one another. In her inimitable, gravelly voice, Intelligent Diva goes into quite some detail about the saucy fantasies these two strangers have about one another , and it will leave you gasping for breath.
As with her previous hits, such as “Sexy Walk”, “Boy Shorts” or the super-spicy “Lo Que Me Gusta”, Intelligent Diva skilfully combines beautiful, spicy song writing with excellent rhythm and a haunting beat that will shake you down to your very core. “Ice Cream” is the kind of tune to get into your head and never leave, so that you’ll find yourself humming it at random times, but be careful – wouldn’t want your boss to hear you, as it’s most definitely NSFW.
What we particularly like about Intelligent Diva is that she’s a true feminist – a beautiful, talented woman who’s not afraid to speak her mind and talk about all the nasty stuff that women “shouldn’t” talk about. Intelligent Diva is a free-spirited artist who’s not afraid to take you to the dark side of her imagination, and you will be oh-so-glad once you get there.
Don’ t believe us? Then why not join the thousands of Spotify listeners who are enjoying “Ice Cream” right now?
N2BLÜ are back with another pop dance hit in the form of ‘King of Broken Hearts’.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ follows their well supported LGBTQIA global smash ‘NSA’.
When asked about the meaning behind the song, Jonathan Arceneaux fromthe world famous dance pop act N2BLÜ said:
“King of Broken Hearts is a biographical look of my romantic history and patterns. I’ve never been in a long-term relationship, yet that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To find my person and have the fairy-tale happily ever after. Unfortunately, I kept repeating the same choices over and over. Choosing the wrong person, over-compromising myself for them, trying to be who they wanted me to be and always ending the same”.
It’s time to break the cycle and become the King/Queen of your own heart. It’s time to Love yourself!
DISCOVER ELECTRONIC: N2BLÜ release an open letter to Co-Dependency using self-love electronic riffs and driving High Energy 80’s synths on new lonely free smash ‘King of Broken Hearts’ – Discover Dance POP
LYRICS FEATURE – N2BLÜ – KING OF BROKEN HEARTS
I may not be your ever after
We had fun at first and moments of rapture
You wouldn’t be my first mistake
But now I’m trying my best to change my fate
And just one time
I’d love to be the first one on your mind
But no matter how it starts
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be the second choice
A novelty just to fill the void
Eyes open kissing, looking for better
All the love I spent was just a ticket for never
But just for now
I’d love to be the wanted one somehow
When it all falls apart
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I sit of this lonely throne, built on heartbreak
Should I go it alone or try to tempt fate?
Under a heavy crown, made of frozen tears
Could there still be hope after all these years?
My kingdom is cracked by a spark of hope
Coming out of the black, learning to let go
The door is my heart and I am the key
Cuz I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
Of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Kings
I don’t wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be
I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
N2BLÜ – THE FULL STORY
The previous hit single from N2BLÜ was entitled ‘NSA’.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ is out now and follows up from their previous LGBTQIA global hit ‘NSA.

Struggle, confidence, motivation and performance are said to be the building blocks of an artist. Dave LeDoux is the name of those words. A struggling soul ever since his childhood, it is not exaggeration calling him a genuine musician. The way he dedicated his early ages in learning musical instruments.

Like a rocket shooting up high into space, the sensational artist Ravoshia which is pronounced ‘Raa-vash-shia’ is skyrocketing with her latest single Fashion Killa.
It is launching into great heights with its new found regards playing on some popular radio stations in the U.S.A and here in the United Kingdom. Additionally, extending over to European, and Canadian territories.
Her record is a standout and game changer. Its music video has now gained over 153,000 views.
It was produced by a very dope producer that goes by the name DJ King.
Ravoshia states:
“When I first heard the music I fell in love with the edgy and distinctive sound it had.” And the rest is history.”

Anjelica’s “Good Ones” is like the moment between two deep breaths. There is just as much emotion, doubt, and unknown strength in this little-known musical gem as there is in the second when you find the power to go on, if that makes sense.
It’s a terribly emotional song, but not in a way that’s soppy or embarrassing. It’s the sort of song that hits you straight in the feels and makes you choke up, and the most interesting thing is, you don’t even know why it happens. So skilled this woman is at expressing her sorrow through music that you find yourself mourning and you don’t even know what for.
You just feel your stomach’s twisted up in a knot, and you can barely breathe with this immense weight on your shoulders. And I don’t know if that’s what Anjelica feels herself, but that’s what she makes her listeners feel with her new hit “Good Ones”.
DISCOVER BEST NEW FEMALE ARTISTS OF 2020: Asking the melodic and epic questions, the ethereal aural pop beauty of ‘Anjelica’ arrives in the form of majestic new single ‘Good Ones’– Discover POP
The title is delightfully imprecise, so that it could mean just about anything. It’s a reference, though to what, you must decide. Of course, the lyrics are not without their fair share of clues (as is the case with all quality songs).
In fact, listening to the tune, you become quite convinced that what Anjelica is asking, quite vocally, actually, is “why do the good ones have to die?”.
And you think to yourself, oh then that’s what the title means. Yes and no. the title can mean so much more.
Through this lack of precision, Anjelica actually turns these two words to her advantage, allowing her audience to conjure up their own good ones, their own questions and battles. You relate to the song and you don’t even rightly know over what.
Whatever it is, the more you listen to Anjelica’s haunting voice, you become more and more convinced that you will get out of this, that you will break through to the other side stronger. It’s a powerful song that makes you feel powerful in turn.

DISCOVER RNB POP HITS OF 2020: With an addictive sleek bouncy groove and classic RnB soul buzz, ‘Tiana Kocher’ gets her global mates together on sweet pop hit ‘FWU’ – Discover POP RNB
“I had a lot of fun co-writing and building on playful and flirty ideas for FWU, which was very much a collaboration with the other writers, Alex Jacke, Merges, and Rikki Randall. This song is definitely one of my more explicit records, and that’s what I love about it, its edginess and a great beat. Although we recorded the song before the pandemic, I really wanted to wait to release it in the summer,” said Kocher.
“The idea for the music video was for my friends, dotted all around the world from London, Russia, Asia, and America, to remotely use Snapchat, in the safe environment of their homes, and create a unique video of their interpretation of the song. It was actually such a fun process, being able to see my friend’s reactions when they heard the song for the first time. It’s got quite the lyrics to it!
‘FWU’ is Kocher’s debut record with Laney Stewart to be released, with two more set to be released later this year. For her upcoming music, Tiana has collaborated with several GRAMMY award-winning recording artists including TLC, Faith Evans, Sage the Gemini and Latin reggaeton J. Alvarez amongst others, as well as multiple award-winning record producers including Leon “RoccStar” Youngblood, and Warren Kurtiss and Tyler Reynolds of Dawty Music Group.
‘FWU’ is available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Tidal, SoundCloud, Pandora, DEEZER, iHeartRadio, Google Play, and Xbox Groove.
With over one hundred thousand streams on Spotify, from ‘Captain Morgan’ to ‘Bloodah’, upcoming independent drill artist Dyego is making moves in 2020. This month Dyego’s ready to rack up a few hundred thousand more with new party drill anthem ’20 Style II’.
DISCOVER UK DRILL TRAP GRIME 2020: With over one hundred thousand streams, West Thurrock UK drill artist wins all the Rap battles on Rap Trap Radio with dope new release ’20 Style II’ infecting the UK youth nationwide – Discover Rap Rap Radio on the playlist
Based in West Thurrock, Essex, Dyego first got into music by performing in rap battles in high school, which slowly turned into studio sessions.
Since then, Dyego’s trademark catchy punchlines rapped over hard drill beats have set him apart as one to watch in the UK drill scene.
“I want people to have fun when they hear my music, just enjoy the sound and not take life too seriously. ’20 Style II’ is a party drill track that people can have fun with.” – DYEGO
I think we can all agree that young music with an old soul vibe is the best you can get in today’s music world, and none fills the criteria more than young Alabama native, Dricka.
And when we say young, we mean it, since this gifted rapper and songwriter is only 23 years old, and yet comes across as if she’s lived at least seven decades. That is not to say that her music is in any way old or outdated. On the contrary, she’s got one of the most modern sounds we’ve heard in recent years.
And yet, her latest release, entitled simply “Mama”, will win you over through its old school kind of vibe, and the sheer wisdom inherent in the lyrics.
‘Dricka’ drops a dope Rap letter to her ‘Mama’ with a classic soul meets Hip-Hop vibe as the fresh artist proves her talent on new single – Discover Rap
Dricka is obviously a girl whose mind is as sharp as can be. She’s observant and demonstrates a real skill for paying attention to detail, the sort of skill that is characteristic of true artists.
Her lyrics paint a somewhat grim, yet at the same time hopeful view of life and difficulty, of finding strength and growing up in a world that seems to pay less and less attention to you with each day.
Then, of course, we have her fantastic voice. It has a soulful sort of edge to it, wonderful, and appealing.
Dricka encompasses both a great tenderness and fragility in her singing, but also a sense of resilience. It’s the perfect voice for the song, if that makes sense, as it highlights and expresses the duality of her feelings in writing this. Feeling both strong, as any person who’s growing up and standing on their own has to be sooner or later, but also expressing an almost childish vulnerability.
It’s a very coming of age song, except it has none of the cutesiness we tend to attach to those words. It’s a gritty tune with killer vibes that will really make you think, and we highly suggest you go listen to it if you haven’t yet.
The beautiful, melodic, heartfelt new stomping pop rock anthem from ‘By Small Ruin’ is entitled ‘My Angel’
By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible.
DISCOVER ROCK MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES: Stadium sized rock pop production values and screeching driving sonic guitars, Bryan Mullis a.k.a ‘By Small Ruin’ is back as he delivers an intimate powerful rock story and music video with ‘My Angel” – Discover ROCK
Busking since high school, the college dropout has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees.
Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which:
“lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
The latest single ‘My Angel’ from ‘By Small Ruin’ is out now.
Daddy was a good man
He kept it in the road
Something must have happened I don't know
Today was just the first day
His letter still unread
As I lay down to bed I can hear him
Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel
Momma's being quiet
She won't visit your stone
Can't accept you're never coming home
Sis, she ain't much better
That's why I'm here alone
As I lay down this rose, hear me saying
Sleep, my angel
Not a peep, my angel
Maybe you felt you were on your own
Overwhelmed, it's easy to lose hope
If I had only known, you were at the end of your rope
November makes three years now
I've got a son of my own
I tell him of the one he'll never know
I hope you're somehow watching
When I lay him down to rest
I sing to him that sweet song I know best
It goes like this

How long have you been waiting for a killer tune to just listen to on repeat? I know that for me, it’s been a while. All through quarantine, I’ve been scouring the Internet in search for good new artists. See, I like seeking out lesser known artists, because I know that’s where the next big hit’s gonna come from. Not from the over-saturated “big names” we already know.
And in my search, I came across one particular artist, who, I can safely say, is among the next big stars of our generation. Douglas Smith, better known by his stage name D.D. Oreyo, is a compelling new rapper out of Lexington, Kentucky.
His sound has a unique dimension to it that skillfully combines elements of the golden age of rap (think 80s and 90s rap scene), but also takes aspects of the modern world, and weaves them through, creating a highly enviable sound that will no doubt appeal to the music listeners of today.
D.D. Oreyo is a rapper for the new world. He’s ushering in a new golden age of rap, something you can clearly see in his latest hit single, “Take You to The Cleaners”. At its core, “Take You to The Cleaners” is a playful summer heat that you’ll love to dance to on the beach at night, or hear in the clubs when you’re partying with your crew.

With ferocious drums and a catchy beat, “Take You to The Cleaners” is your next obsession, I guarantee it. How do I know? Why, I’ve had it stuck in my head for the past couple of weeks.
And sure, there hasn’t been a lot of clubbing going on lately, because of the whole pandemic thing, but that doesn’t make it any less of a good tune. In fact, that’s one of the things I like most about D.D. Oreyo’s brand new hit is that it’s a versatile song. It can go well in the club, sure, but it also goes well outside it. You can enjoy it just about anywhere. Listen to it with your friends, or alone. While driving or when at home. At a party or while walking the dog.
It’s the sort of rare thoroughly good tune that makes just about any situation better.

If I could run to the edge of my mind
Past the point of no return Just to rewind the oceans of time
All the mistakes and lessons I’ve learned
I don’t wanna be the one to always compromise
I’m done with being someone with tears in my eyes
I’m tired of regretting who I was before Cuz
I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Not all your scars are on the outside
Some are tattooed on your soul
They can be the hardest to hide
When you let your heart unfold I shouldn’t apologize for my existence
But it’s hard to reprogram my broken resistance
I want to move on from who I was before Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Is it enough for me just to say it out loud?
Could it be that easy just to say that I’m proud?
Wipe away all the lies that they preach
You’re not the one to blame! Never be afraid of who you’re meant to be And always know you are not your pain!
Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore I’m Not Sorry Anymore
No, I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Oh oh oh I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Whoa I’m Not Sorry Anymore
Oh oh oh Cuz I’m Not Sorry Anymore
I’m Not Sorry Anymore
N2BLÜ HISTORY
The previous hit single from N2BLÜ was entitled ‘Electric Dreams’.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
NSA is out now and follows the previous hit from N2Blu ‘Electric Dreams.

WILDFURZ decided to combine his vast knowledge of multiple genres of music into what is now known as WILDFURZ.
When asked about the inspiration behind the song, WILDFURZ said:
I tend to write a lot about the environment and society around me. With everything going on, seeing how people like to virtue signal on social media, without actually making real world contributions, the reality is we’ve all had a part in setting this world on fire and this song characterizes the hypocrisy of it all.

Everyone loves a good story about second-chances, and that’s exactly what Bill Abernathy’s story is all about. The Kansas City, Missouri resident began writing songs in his early teens. He played all through his school years, but then he stopped…Life took over.
Bill went about getting married, building a business career, and raising his children. After his kids graduated from school and started their careers, Bill picked up the guitar again and began trying to rekindle his love of music. The latest release from ‘Bill Abernathy’ is ‘Whiskey Road’.
“Inspiration for my music comes from a variety of the many parts of my life,” Bill says.
DISCOVER 2020 COUNTRY ROADS: Melodic songwriter and Top 100 artist ‘Bill Abernathy’ revs up a bopping, rocking, guitar and vocal-led country gem as he takes us down his wonderful ‘Whiskey Road’ – Discover Country Rock
“Events and experiences of mine, my family, my friends, and sometimes even people I have never met all, contribute to the creativity of my music. I find it interesting and rewarding to let my imagination wander through the memory and spirit of life events and see where it takes me.”
Bill is a pure “lyrics-first” writer…a bit of a storyteller. “I feel the story and lyrics talk to me and tell me what the rest of the song is supposed to sound like,” he says.
His last album, 2017’s “Find A Way” reached #5 on the Roots Music Report Traditional Folk Album chart, and the single, “Goodbye Will Never Come Again” reached #1 on the singles chart.
Bill’s latest collection of songs, the Roots Music Report Americana chart-topping album, “Crossing Willow Creek” is available now.
The first single, “Cry Wolf” reached the iTunes Top 100 Rock Songs chart, while hitting the Top 5 on New Music Weekly’s country chart.
The next two singles also received national and international charting. Bill was also a December 2018 Billboard Magazine Emerging Artist.
He recently toured the mid-west on his “Living The Dream” solo tour.
“Sometimes life is good to you and gives you a second chance. In my youth I walked away from music for a myriad of personal reasons. Now, I’ve now been given a second chance to pursue this thing we love called music, and I am really enjoying the ride!”
After his first two albums OP comes back with a desperately beautiful song on a man barricaded in his house waiting for an imminent flood ultimately due to climate change and global warming.

In the first album there is a tribute to Wystan Hugh Auden with the song of his famous poem Refugee Blues.
Outinout Project reminds of rock progressive music of 70s with reminiscences of artists like Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush and Roger Waters.
In 2019 OP issued No Water In My Lake, the second album, including the title track, the energetic Hunted Hunter and Number One and the poetic ballad Weary with toil, with lyrics of William Shakespeare taken from the Sonnets XXVII and XXVIII.
At the end of the album there is a surprising cover of a Genesis song, Afterglow.
When asked about his influences and inspiration, OP said“The second album reminds more of rock albums of 80s published by Bowie, Tears for Fears, Talk Talk”.
OUR RIVER is again a change of perspective and a further evolution for this eclectic songwriter. Waiting for new inspirational songs.

We live in a rapidly changing world, where the progress of society should be measured on the happiness and wellbeing of its citizens, rather than the pockets of the few.
We see countless billions spent on missiles and defence of the free world to keep out an ideological enemy that is already eating its way through the fabric of western civilization. The irony is that no external weapons need to be unleased when ideas will do the job for you.
‘Answers to the issue of the survival of Human beings will not be solved by Politics, but a new force of Logic that allows the best ideas to win’.
‘The Beat’ Bhangra Stance remix is a new take on a track from Dar.Ra’s ‘New Kinda Normal’ Album that suggests that if we carry on with our blinded unquestioning view of the Politics of greed we will repeat the same mistakes that we blame our Grand Parents to making.
The ‘New Kinda Normal’ album released late last year has attained a high level of critical support from Media around the world.
Mixing Rock and EDM to create a sound called Rock Step while tackling subjects from War to Social Neurosis effortlessly maintaining a solid melodic structure was par excellence and refreshing in a world of computer beats and self obsessive, materialistic culture rants.
The incredible ‘Dar.Ra’ returns after his ‘Stand up For the Heroes’ goes global with a radical new revolutionary beat that is taking the streets of London to a new free dawn with ‘THE BEAT’– Hear it at 9 am Every morning on London FM Playlist
The ‘Bhangra Stance’ remix mission was carried out by Sri Lankan born Music producer Vidula who picked up on the brief to create a cacophony of drum expressions that make you sit up and listen to ‘The Beat’, while the lyric refrain asks you ‘can you hear the Beat’ of cultural clashes happening all around us.
The remix features on the ‘Stand Up For The Heroes’ EP, and is getting an amazing response on Spotify with it being added to a huge amount of epic playlists in the first week of release. There is an Official lyric video also out which will allow you to find out more on how the lyrics wield the storyline of Human endeavour not to repeat the mistakes of the past.
Questions need to be asked of our history and rightly so, things that where based on mistruths must be examined and re-written to reflect a truth that will allow the foundations of our belief systems to be based on what actually happened and not a fairy tale that fits a certain narrative.
If artists and animal activists ran the world maybe we would move beyond the primitive thinking of what we see playing out on a world stage. Tribal politics is not what the world needs right now but an all inclusive, logical approach to a sustainable future.
‘The Beat’ is also dedicated to Animal activist Regan Russell who was killed recently after giving water to Pigs about to be taken to slaughter in inhuman conditions.
Belief in change is what she stood for. RIP Regan.

“Too Late To Wonder” and “Do You Ever Think of Me” settle us into more familiar Folk/Americana territory, while “Bells,” “Money & Run,” “Mother Moon,” and “Walk Away” are beautiful storytelling ballads.
The title track “Muscle & Skin” leaves us pondering our own accomplishments and defeats.
Fairlight’s voice is the thread tying it all together. The songs date back years to recent months, exploring a span of Hannah’s more personal catalogue.
“I wanted to reveal my true self and confront some of the struggles I’ve faced. No box to fit into, no commercial outlets to impress. I wanted to be completely honest. I got sick of dressing things up, trying to ‘be something’. I wanted to let out the real, raw songwriter underneath” explains Fairlight.
Recorded and produced by Austin Hoke and Fairlight and mixed by Grammy nominated Brett Ryan Stewart, Muscle and Skin is Fairlight’s third studio album.
Fairlight grew up in rural Iowa playing classical piano and saxophone from eight years old and starting original songs at age twelve. Inspired as a teen by role models that include Patti Smith and Tori Amos, she picked up guitar and cut her teeth performing in New York City at clubs like CBGB and The Bitter End.
Fairlight has since lived and performed around the world, released two studio albums after moving to Nashville, “Creatures of Habit” and “Bright Future“.
You may also recognize Fairlight from her role as “Veracity” in Universal’s Pitch Perfect 3 and A&E reality TV show “Crazy Hearts“.
