Today, we’re diving deep into a song that’s bound to tug at your heartstrings and maybe even bring a tear to your eye. I’m talking about Mark Wilson’s “My Heart Belongs to You,” a track from his 1999 album “Under the Influence.” Let me tell you, this one’s a real emotional rollercoaster.
First off, let’s talk about how this song came to be. Wilson didn’t actually write it himself – it was penned by Doug Haywood. But here’s where it gets interesting. Wilson was about to hit the studio to record “Under the Influence” when Haywood approached him with this song. Talk about perfect timing, right? Wilson was going through a rough patch in his life, and this track just spoke to him. Do you know how sometimes a song just hits you right in the feels? That’s what happened here.
“My Heart Belongs to You” is all about unconditional love and that deep, spiritual connection you sometimes find with another person. It’s the kind of love that sticks around even when everything else is falling apart. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who’ve drifted apart, but one of them (our lead vocalist Wilson) is still holding on tight to those feelings.
Wilson’s production on this track is something special. He went all-in on the acoustic vibe, which really lets the raw emotion of the song shine through. He brought in some serious heavy hitters to help out. We’re talking Hal Blaine on drums and percussion (yeah, the same guy who played for Elvis), David P. Jackson Jr. on upright bass and accordion, and Doug Haywood himself on acoustic guitars. Add in some sweet vocal harmonies from Rosemary Butler and Haywood, and you’ve got yourself a recipe for musical magic.
The song starts with our protagonist realizing that their love interest is “the only one,” but it’s too late – they’ve already decided to say goodbye. It’s that gut-wrenching moment when you finally understand what you had, just as it’s slipping away. Been there, done that, right? But here’s the kicker – even though they’ve been rejected, their heart still belongs to this person. That’s some powerful stuff right there.
The chorus hits you right in the feels: “Every day, every night / Do you know my heart belongs to you?” It’s a plea, a reminder, maybe even a little bit of hope. It’s simple, but man, does it pack a punch. Wilson’s voice carries all the pain, longing, and resignation of someone who’s loved and lost but can’t quite let go. It’s the kind of performance that makes you believe every word, even if you’ve never experienced that kind of heartbreak yourself.
Wilson hopes that this song will resonate with anyone who’s been through a breakup or lost someone they love. It’s about holding onto the good memories, even when the relationship itself is over. And isn’t that what we all try to do? Focus on the happy times, the love we shared, rather than the pain of the ending.
In a world where songs often treat love like a disposable commodity, “My Heart Belongs to You” stands out as a testament to love’s enduring power. It reminds us that real, deep love doesn’t just disappear because a relationship ends. Sometimes, it sticks with us, becoming a part of who we are.
The next time you’re feeling nostalgic about a past love, or you’re in the mood for a good cry (hey, we all need one sometimes), give “My Heart Belongs To You” a listen. Just make sure you’ve got some tissues handy – trust me, you’re gonna need ’em.

South African Singer-Songwriter Charlie Harris Releases New Single “Catching Rainbows” from Digital Dust (Side B)
South African folk-rock artist Charlie Harris, known as the singer-songwriter of the duo Keep Guessing, has released his latest single, “Catching Rainbows,” a standout track from his debut album Digital Dust (Side B). Following the success of Side A’s haunting first single, “Charlie No Face,” Side B dives deeper into Harris’s world of lyrical storytelling, introspective themes, and a search for meaning within life’s most fleeting moments.
“Produced by Robin Walsh, ‘Catching Rainbows” captures Harris’s poetic sensibility, exploring the allure of chasing dreams and embracing life’s unexpected twists. With a gentle, rhythmic melody, the song unfolds like a personal journal, conveying the bittersweet moments of growth and self-discovery. Harris’s earthy vocals are laced with both nostalgia and hope, grounding the song’s message in a place of authenticity that listeners have come to love from him. “The song is about feeling that if I could just pass on some happiness I would. Metaphorically speaking catching rainbows and passing it on to you! Inspired by me wanting to make those close to me as happy as possible”
Hailing from Johannesburg, Harris has carved his path as a songwriter through stories that resonate on both personal and universal levels. He first gained attention with Digital Dust (Side A), featuring “Charlie No Face,” inspired by the story of Raymond Robinson, a man who became a local legend after a disfiguring accident. With Side B, Harris continues to bring forth songs that were almost lost to time but now find life in his carefully crafted debut project.
Reflecting on the theme of Digital Dust, Harris explains, “This album is like a collection of memories, fragments that might have faded away if not for this record. ‘Catching Rainbows’ is one of those pieces—it’s about grasping for something intangible, something that might not last but is worth the chase.”
JJ Entertainment proudly announces the release of Juliana Hale’s powerful new single, “You + Me.” The track is available on November 15th and may be her boldest one yet, taking on the emotional turbulence of a toxic relationship.
Known for her empowering songs like “Good On My Own,”“Cry My Summer Away,” and “Not For You,” she’s back with another fierce, upbeat anthem that blends emotional lyrics with moody, seductive beats, designed to resonate with anyone who’s ever felt mistreated by their lover. Co-written by Juliana Hale, Christian Rizzo, and Catt McCreary and produced by Christian Rizzo, the song tells the story of someone who’s finally breaking free from their partner’s destructive behavior.
In discussing the track, Hale shares the emotional depth of the song: “‘You + Me’ is a sonic exploration of a harmful relationship, with the beat mimicking the sound of tiptoeing around eggshells with a person who changes at the drop of a hat. As with my other music, it is an empowering take on this universal experience, saying, ‘Well, if this is how you’re going to treat me, then I’m out.’”
Hale masterfully shows how an unhealthy relationship builds and escalates. In the beginning, tentative and unsure lyrics like: “Lately we’ve been on edge / You’re tryna push me off it / Tiptoeing on a tightrope, lead with your eyes closed, how far will this go?” depict someone who’s not sure what’s going to happen with the relationship. But by the end of the song, Hale has decided – enough is enough. She demonstrates this clearly: “You plus me equals all these problems / Just keep dragging me to rock bottom / You plus me equals all these problems / And I’m done tryna solve ‘em now.”
Additionally, Hale reminds listeners of the importance of having friends and family when leaving a damaging relationship. She says, “The violinist on the track is my brother, Oliver Levi, so the family connection makes this song that much more special to me. If you have ever been treated like a human punching bag, then this song is for you!”
With this new single, Hale proves she’s able to balance emotional depth with confidence, introspection, and empowerment. Perfect for fans of Sabrina Carpenter, Dua Lipa, Meghan Trainor, and Billie Eilish, “You + Me” is a song for anyone who’s ever survived a dysfunctional relationship.
Juliana Hale is an indie-pop singer-songwriter with an evocative voice, a sound that transcends genres, and an ability to bring stories to life in vivid detail. She’s a true Renaissance artist, combining her multi-instrumental and vocal abilities with a love of visual arts to create an unforgettable, immersive experience. Hale transparently connects with her fans in a unique way, building a deeply engaged base of supporters by sharing her chronic health struggles and creating a positive community.

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

The Austrian pop band Gentle Glow releases their new single: “Do iT”
A powerful reminder to do something and be creative without thinking too much about it! September 2024 – The Austrian pop band Gentle Glow, consisting of 5 members, including the two songwriters Jasmin Neuninger and Roman Schrank, will present their new single “Do iT” on September 20, 2024. The track is a spontaneous reflection on the band’s journey and an exploration of their artistic resilience.
The band teamed up to record their new track “Do iT” at Boogie Park Studios, one of the most successfu music studios in Germany. The creation of this song is something very special because it actually came about completely by chance and almost spontaneously.
“Do iT” offers an insight into the personal and professional challenges that Jasmin Neuninger and Roman Schrank faced in the past year. The song’s creation is associated with a pivotal moment in the band’s career. While Jasmin thought about a possible job change, Neuninger and Schrank struggled with whether they should continue to invest in their music production, music marketing and instruments or focus on something else instead. This period of uncertainty led to a critical decision point for both, compounded by the challenges presented by today’s highly competitive music industry.
“Do iT” emerged from a spontaneous session in the rehearsal room at that time. In a spark of creative momentum, the two decided not to rehearse their usual live set and routine for once. Instead, they improvised new music just to make something that was more fun and more liberating for both of them. This impromptu session led to the creation of the song and captured a moment of unplanned inspiration that really paid off. The text was written after the session. That same evening, it embodied a sense of urgency and a desire to act instinctively rather than routinely and to keep that creative flame alive.
In a landscape where musicians are often confronted with the dichotomy between passion and sustainability, Gentle Glow’s new release is a reminder of the profound meaning of music that goes beyond financial gain. “Do iT” conveys the message of following your intuition and seizing the moment, which reflects a broader “carpe diem” philosophy. This topic is particularly relevant at a time of uncertainty and challenges for artists.
The song is notable for its stylistic diversity and showcases the band’s ability to combine different influences into a cohesive sound.
Gentle Glow’s “Do iT” will capture the attention of music lovers and critics alike, offering both a personal narrative and an immersive sonic experience. As the band embarks on their artistic journey, this new single marks a significant chapter in their evolving story. The song will be available in September. In the meantime, you can already delve deeper into the artist’s discography!
We are excited to announce that the powerful, rocking and melodic new single ‘Read My Lips’ from MATD Feat ‘Johanna Koskiniemi’ is now on our A-List Playlist. Stay tuned to hear this track night and day on the playlist + it will also be spun as a special ALTERNATIVE ROCK POWERPLAY at 8 PM Pacific for the next month.
This was the first MATD song Marcos Kuusjärvi and Veli Eronen sent to Finland’s Eurovision Song Contest. The song didn’t qualify, and it was never released. The song was completely remade in 2024, and the lyrics were also changed to a “lighter direction”. At the same time, it became more of a rock song.
The original idea of the song was that dictators don’t have a happy ending! The people will eventually revolt and put an end to the dictatorship. Maybe not the ultimate Eurovision material. The song was transformed to tell a new kind of story. In the new version, we approach a relationship. What could a cheating spouse read from your lips? Read My Lips! “As long as the heart beats with the rhythm of love Love needs trust, another one bites the dust.”
Singer Johanna Koskiniemi is a former music class teacher who has also just completed a basic degree in metalwork. She has always loved music and has been involved in some way with music all her life. Johanna has studied piano, saxophone, and trumpet and has also taken singing lessons.
She has also been seen in various singing competitions and theater productions and has studied music and acting all the way abroad. Johanna has been voted FinnRadio.FM’s hit Artist of the Year two years in a row, and the song she recorded, Tee Mulle Taivas, was chosen on the same channel as Hit of the Year 2023.
Nowadays, Johanna has consciously moved in a more pop direction in her production. The wonderful collaboration that started a year ago with the band MATD now continues with an even rockier song. Read My Lips is Johanna’s second English recording. It is a survival story about a difficult relationship and breakup. It is even faintly psychedelic verses lead the listener to a moment when they realize that life is far too short to waste on a bad relationship; stop crying, everything will be alright! In the chorus, the middle finger is shown to the whole world! I survived the cheater gets to bite the dust!

Singer-songwriter Charlie Harris releases the first single, “Charlie No Face,” from the long-awaited debut album Digital Dust (Side A).
Charlie Harris, the main singer songwriter of Keep Guessing, hails from the vibrant city of Johannesburg, South Africa. His music is a unique blend of folk-rock, seasoned with a dash of introspection and a whole lot of heart. But Charlie’s journey into music wasn’t a straight path—it was a winding road filled with self-discovery, hundreds of songs, and the relentless pursuit of authenticity.
The first single, “Charlie No Face,” is inspired by the tragic story of Raymond Robinson, a man who became an urban legend after a childhood accident left him disfigured. Charlie was moved by the tale of Robinson, who only ventured out at night, hiding his face in the shadows. The song is a haunting reflection on how society can turn someone’s pain into entertainment, a theme that resonates deeply with Charlie’s introspective songwriting style.
Charlie Harris’ vocals on this track are tinged with a melancholy tone reminiscent of early R.E.M, making it a nostalgic and heartfelt track.
The release marks a significant milestone in Charlie’s musical journey—a journey that has led to the creation of Digital Dust (Side A), an album that captures the essence of songs that might have otherwise been lost in time.
Digital Dust ( Side A) will be available on all platforms on September 14th.

Who is Gianluca Zanna, CEO of Zanna Records?
Gianluca Zanna’s musical journey began in Rome, Italy, where he spent his early childhood by the sea, enchanted by his grandfather’s serenades and the epic cinematic scores from his family’s movie theatre. However, his idyllic surroundings changed when he entered Italy’s prestigious National Boarding School “Convitto Nazionale” at just 10 years old. Later, he attended the elite Military Academy Nunziatella, the world’s oldest military school.
It was during his time at boarding school that Zanna discovered music’s transformative power. Rather than playing soccer like his peers, he immersed himself in songwriting, finding old instruments in the school’s attic and teaching himself to play guitar, bass, and drums. At the same time, Zanna developed a love for classical Italian poetry, drawing inspiration from greats like Ovid, Dante, and Petrarch. This passion for words and music led him to fill notebooks with poetry, which would later become lyrics for his songs.
As a young dreamer in Italy, Gianluca looked up to legendary producer and sound engineer Brian Reeves, who worked with icons such as Donna Summer, Giorgio Moroder, and U2. Today, Reeves collaborates with Zanna, mixing some of his most recent tracks, including‘I Want to Know,’‘Storm,’‘I AM,‘ and ‘The Other Side of My Heart (Remix).’
Be sure to listen out for ‘What Could Have Been’and experience Gianluca Zanna’s musical evolution for yourself!

The head of music for hollywoodfm.digital said he loved the new single ‘Alive’ from ‘Giles’ with it’s excellent classy and sleek production, soulful voice and big beats that keep you grooving all the way through to the end. The single is now on the daily playlist.
Few doubt the talents of Alvin Giles. He is an accomplished producer, audio engineer, arranger, composer, multi-instrumentalist, and songwriter. After a ten-year hiatus, and under a new moniker; Giles, formally known as Vthov, makes his return as a musical artist.
Blending genres like a pro, Giles fuses hip hop, r&b, and soul with a myriad of intriguing elements from other genres. While his resume proves he can perfect any style, he returns to his hip hop roots for “Alive.”
“I’m reintroducing the world to me as an artist and feel that ‘Alive’ perfectly encapsulates what I have to offer,” said Giles.
“While seeing my contemporaries’ careers grow, it felt like my career as a rapper was dead. I needed a reboot,” he said. “‘Alive’ is first, a message to me. I’m letting myself know that I am standing on the shoulders of giants and have what it takes. I can overcome adversity.”
But after ten years, can Giles get back in the game as a contender?
While the world is coming out of a long pandemic, Giles’s return could not be timelier – and he delivers. “We’ve all suffered,” he said. “This pandemic is the first time in modernity that the human race can unite under the shared title of survivor.”
Back Rank Records will drop the single on March 11th, along with a lyric video on streaming platforms. Giles is the CEO and founder of Back Rank Records.
“Alive” begins with a soulful keyboard and is transformed into a big synth anthem. Giles takes listeners on a trip over the decades to create a timeless classic. Giles combines soulful vibes and hip-hop elements to create “Alive.” From the energetic big synth hook to the verse that flows with groovy 70s keyboard licks, the bass drum is the track’s heartbeat. When you think the song cannot get any better, Giles throws in some rock power chords for good measure making the hook explode with energy.
“My hip hop seeks musicality via instrumentation, chord progressions, and basslines,” explained Giles. “I write songs with rich melodies and harmonies as the framework.”
Sonically Giles’ style stands out, but there is more to his music – a deep meaning resonates in “Alive.”
“There’s so much clout and swag rapping, but for me, there is so much more that hip hop can bring instead of just talking shit. My music is introspective and self-reflecting. I dive deeper than just material possession and machismo,” said Giles.
Born and raised in Orlando, Giles’s mission is to bring music to the people. He hits all the marks with “Alive” that exceeds its lyrical context and propels him back into the industry as a performer to watch.
“‘Alive’ is very relevant for the times we are living in. It’s an anthem for people who feel they need a win,” said Giles. “When you hear the chorus, you’ll want to get back in the game, and get that W.”
While Giles plans to release more singles in the future, listeners love the 3:33 minutes of “Alive.”
“This song is for people who have suffered, which is all of us,” he said. “Hopefully, ‘Alive’ can reach the underdogs of the world and put a little wind in their sails.”
Make sure to stay connected to Giles on all platforms for new music, videos, and social posts.

The female vocal interpretation breathes a lot of energy into this dancefloor oriented track. The highly melodic and progressive aspect of this song keeps the attention riveted from the beginning to the end.
Max M is on a steady rise as his distinctive sound continues to garner attention from the industry and fans around the world.
With more than 5M streams on Spotify and 5000 radio airplays, Max M is set to take the scene by storm. “Any Other Night” is a must-listen record as it will brighten up any party, dancefloor, or day.
An unusual career path. He is seen as one of the world’s French experts in his IT field but this hasn’t stopped Max M from having two careers. Who says you can’t be an electronic music producer and a key player in an American multinational. Max M is planning to release a lot of great music in 2021, fresh off the successes of ‘Never Wanna Leave’ and ‘Under Water,’ which ranked first and fifth on American DJ site: Digital DJ Pool. Both tracks generated a lot of attention in South America, Denmark, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The tunes are infectious and will seduce from the very first notes. Max M’s love for music began in his teens when he used to compose and DJ. He then went on to concentrate on his other passion: computer science, which he studied at university. Through this, he embarked on a brilliant career. When he reached the age of 40, he decided to rekindle with his first love and took piano lessons and trained in production in order to get back behind the synthesizers.
Model Nay Luma decided to change career paths when Producer RedOne (Lady Gaga) inspired her to pursue a music career. This positive feedback changed the course of her life’s journey and she decided that music was her destiny.
This positive, driven woman lives life without expectations and feels that “I have been able to become original and very creative, collaborating with various artists and finding myself.”
Her first attempt at producing was with good friend Yorg Kersiotis and sound engineer Rudy Youmans, and since then this power house team have decided to dedicate themselves to the music industry.
Nay Luma has released three new singles: Nothin Left, I’m not Sober and Keep it Personal (Eyez On Me)
“I find inspiration all around me. I try to make my music represent myself and my generation. I love the places that most people don’t give a second glance.” adds Luma
While the days are getting cooler and darker, so does the new single of the Two Brothers.
“So Cold” is the name of the new hot track that takes the listener right into the heat. It’s a kind of the cold and darker answer to their previous single “Looking For You”.
Of course, you’ll find all the Martin Brothers ingredients like the glittering synth-sounds, the spheric retro pads paired with a sing along chorus. But this time they added a touch of R&B to get the catchy groove constantly going. It’s one of those tracks that really capture the vibe of a big city night and mystical romance.
Imagine you drive with your car through the neon streets of Los Angeles, Bangkok and so on or walking down the stairs to an underground club, well So Cold will definitely bring you right into that mood.
Of course, it wouldn’t be the Martin Brothers, if they didn’t also capture this feeling in a music video. Be sure not to miss that nightshift on YouTube, while they are heading right into the heart of downtown Los Angeles at midnight.

Immediately after, to heat things up, the bass line kicks in and rides on a warm tropical reggaeton beat by Rockoranything founder and producer Alvin Anthony.
There’s a fun, warm, romantic element to this tune never heard in a Christmas song before. Right before the chorus kicks in, I’m ready to book a one way ticket to Puerto Rico as Natalis says, “Vente conmigo pa’ Puerto Rico!!!”
There’s absolutely no time for the holiday blues now that we’ve got Coquito available for stream everywhere!

Introducing The Small Town. A garage rock project fronted and founded by Chris Bianchi.
What started off as a muse for creating during the quarantine only a few months ago, has turned into a new outlet that is quickly gaining momentum! Hailing from Mantua, Ohio, a small farming village right in between Cleveland and Akron.
The debut EP titled “Let’s Blackout” features three exciting tracks. Kicking off with the dancy “Can’t Stay Awake” leading into “Let’s Blackout” a more foot tapping rock n blues style. Lastly, “Ticket To Ride” hits short and to the point with a repeating catchy chorus that gets stuck in your head.
When asked about The Small Town, Bianchi had this to say “The Small Town project was a long time coming for me personally. The name is derived from literally where I live and am from. There’s nothing here. I’ve gone through a lot of changes, especially, over the past year and this really inspired just laying down what I felt at the exact moment in time. No second guessing. It was so freeing to do so at least on this debut effort.”
You can discover a standalone song as well online with “Grey Day’s and Darker Nights” that has a very garage rock early white stripes feel.
There’s plenty more to come from this exciting project.

We both love music, love the sound they create, we’d rather be making music than doing a job for the rest of our lives we don’t enjoy, so what do we have to lose? We’ve both loved music for a long time, in particular rap/trap wave.
What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?
We’ve both had to overcome similar challenging issues throughout our lives. Losing loved ones, losing people you thought you’d always be close with because they broke the trust you had, back stabbers, fake friends with fake loyalty, mental health issues etc.
Are you currently signed or independent?
Independent
Who inspires you the most musically?
Both our inspirations are similar in some ways, more diverse in others. For example, both look up to the likes of M Huncho, Nafe Smallz, DBE. Individually, Atrip found himself connecting with artists such as JuiceWrld and Rinzo listened to lots of Lil Wayne just to name one each as there’s far too many!
What do you want people to take away after listening to your music?
We want people to take positive and wavy/creative vibes from our music but also the reality that life is tough. You do have pain and tough times, but you will always get through them and be stronger.
Any new music coming out soon?
Yes! Lots! The next single we will be releasing is called Sprite towards the end of November but over the next 2 months leading into the new year, people can expect to see at least 4 new singles.
What is your greatest achievement as a musician?
Our greatest achievement as musicians is just getting into the booth and writing and producing our first song putting it out to people. It can be hard to find the courage to step into the booth for the first time but with the right mentality and people working with us we did it with ease.
Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?
We produce our music by finding beats we both like on YouTube and then working with different producers that way. We enjoy reaching out to new producers and finding different sounds that other producers offer.
Who is one artist you wish you could work with?
Picking one is very tough.
If it had to be one Rinzo would love to work with M Huncho, hearing what people say, he’s a really genuine guy, fun to be around and the studio would have incredible vibes. Atrip would love to work with Nafe Smallz, for similar reasons above, plus, he’s met him once already!
Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is coming out? What is it about?
Sprite is coming out this November. Sprite is a fun song we expect people to play at max volume and have a good time to. Throughout the song there’s mentions of all of the challenging issues we mentioned above. Trust issues, some elements of drug abuse, mental health, other elements of us having fun and enjoying yourself so yeah, quite a mixed bag to say the least. We just met one day and wrote what we felt at the time.
What does a day inside your shoes look like?
Day in the life of OCR is wake up, vibe out, link up and then browse beats, write bars and work on perfecting our music. We spend a lot of time chilling in the car writing, studio and our yards.
Anything else you want the audience to know about you?
We’re just two ordinary guys that want to create great music, consistently and help to influence the music industry. We’re always looking to improve, try new things and always want feedback from people outside of our circle.

London-based artist Prinz Leo released his new single The More You Give featuring the Portuguese singer Ola Ruth on Friday, 27th November 2020.
Danceable rhythms and sing-along melodies meets the spirits from the 80s. Produced by Camelle Hinds (best known from the UK funk band Central Line) and mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode), this song keeps what it promises.
https://youtu.be/g2Nfn0N6dfI
Prinz Leo was talking the inspiration for this song in an interview “When I moved from Austria to London I first lived in in Peckham (South London). I often saw Josh, a homeless man without legs, in his wheelchair. He always smiled at people wishing them a great day instead of begging for money. I sometimes gave him some coins. One day, I was busking in Peckham, Josh came over to listen and watch my performance and threw money in my guitar case. This event was so touching and a very powerful life lesson: The More You Give The More You Get (I’m talking about the kind of giving where you don’t expect anything in return).”
The song was written by Leonhard Wimmer (Prinz Leo), co-written by Robert Bridges and Martina Randes, produced by Camelle Hinds(Central Line), mixed by Nick Hunt (Depeche Mode) and mastered by Marcellus Frank.
Multitalented artist Katrina Kusa is back with her latest single, “Two Times”. Produced by Nick Mair and executive produced by mega producer J2.

She shares, “I want listeners to feel empowered by the message of the lyrics. I want people to follow their passions and realize that if someone tells you that you can’t do something, ignore it because you won’t get to repeat your fate ‘Two Times.”
Fresh off her last collaboration with Indian Trap, Ta$te It, Katrina is hoping her new single will have the same impact as her last. Ta$te It debuted to high streaming numbers for a debut release, with over half a million streams across platforms.
In addition, Ta$te It has received Radio support from The Heat 100.9, where it is currently spinning daily. Two Times is available on all streaming platforms.
‘Blind Season’ are an alternative rock band formed by Shane Sigro. The new single from ‘Blind Season‘ is entitled ‘The Dark Bedroom’.
How was the writing and recording process ?
“It’s a tricky song to write in terms of tempo, but after a couple re writes I love how this song turned out”
‘The Dark Bedroom’ represents a schizophrenic feeling that can be hard to pin point at times. Feeling trapped within yourself and just not leaving your room for days on end.
Rock and Roll and turbulent relationships have gone hand in hand since the beginning of time. The origins of Blind Season are no different. Beginning with a rag tag group only forming through the means of owning instruments, and an evening involving the smashing of a mutual friend’s car.
Blind Season had undergone 5 different incarnations until Shane Sigro the founding guitarist was faced with the ultimate decision between succumbing to normalcy or proving the previous members wrong.
Choosing the latter, Sigro doubled down by taking vocal lessons and penning the new music that would breathe life into the new era of Blind Season.
Blind Season’s upcoming album is an ode to loneliness and toxicity that feel as if they were ripped from Billy Corgan’s Diary and featured in a film by Tim Burton.
With Amanecer, Welan Edvee and Luis Ledman take you into their warm and dancing world.
In these complicated times, this title will give you a smile.

Tell us about your background getting to where you are today?
I have a degree in animation but then I discovered music production and audio engineering and gravitated towards it in my mid twenties. My journey has taken me to living and training in the Caribbean, starting off as a studio assistant and then working up to being a producer and engineer. After 4 years abroad, I’m no residing back in the UK running a studio and also Lecturing at the Academy of Contemporary Music teaching music production and audio engineering.
Where are you from?
I was born in England, my mother is from Trinidad and my dad is from Mauritius.
When did you start music?
I have always been into music, that transformed into DJ-ing in my teens, but it was just a hobby. After obtaining my BA in Animation thats when I started to get into music production and I started taking it seriously.
How did you get into music?
After graduating with my degree in animation I was doing a freelance Job in Brixton. It was in a complex that housed many offices and studio spaces. A lot of then were occupied by creatives, from filmakers, dancers, music studio producers. I was at this job for like 8 months and got to know some of the music studio owners and one day I asked if I can have a dabble for a few hours. I instantly fell in love with it and the rest is history.
What is the most challenging thing you have overcome in your life?
Being creative can be tough for anyone, I already had a degree and was very good at what I was doing with art and animation so for me it was uprooting myself to follow my dream and start all again to learn something different.
Are you currently signed or independent?
I am an independent however I have a management deal with 1 2 One Entertainment.
Who inspires you the most musically?
Tough question, but I think Bob Marley, Michael Jackson and producer Quincy Jones.
What do you want people to take away after listening to your music
That they have not just heard something I have done or something I have contributed towards, but they have experienced something about who I am.
Any new music coming out soon
Yes! Working very closely with Krishane (son of the Reggae legend Barrington Levy). We have something we have been working on few things now for a while, things will drop as and when its ready, so watch this space, its happening soon!
What is your greatest achievement as a musician?
When I started teaching students at a degree level. I’ve not been formally trained in music, so I always had a self belief that I couldn’t teach it. Its very touching when some of these kids are so eager to learn from you.
Do you produce your own music? If not who do you work with?
Yes, pretty much all of my music is created and mixed by me. I have worked and collaborated with other producers, I think more now than ever collaboration is important.
Who is one artist you wish you could work with?
Ok someone who is no longer with us: Michael Jackson, I think doing a record with him will not just be the creation of something memorable, but I believe I would have been pushed and taken away some valuable lessons about music and life. The other person(s) would be the Marley brothers especially Jr. Gong and Stephen.
Tell us about any new music you have coming out? When is coming out? What is it about?
I have a record with Krishane called Lockdown that has been in development for a while now.
What does a day inside your shoes look like?
Always a cup of tea to start the day, after it all depends on if I’m teaching or not. If I’m teaching all day, I will very rarely end up in the studio in the evening unless its a must. I’ve started to value my down time as much as my time creating, that balance is important. If I’m not teaching, it all depends how I feel, I might make some music, or finish off any pending mixes, but if I’m not doing any of those things I dedicate time to learn new things about what I’m doing within music and audio engineering, this industry moves very fast and I think that its important to always be a student to your craft.
Anything else you want the audience to know about you?
When I’m not in the studio I really enjoy cooking.

“Afternoon Ambience” is an album combining Indian Classical Music and Ambient music, in the World Music genre. It is a lush soundscape for relaxation and rejuvenation.
It is based on Rāga Bhimpalasi, an afternoon rāga. Rāga is the main component of Indian Classical Music. Rāga, a Sanskrit word, means “that which colours or leaves an impression”. A mood is created by its notes and phrases, and a full recital of a raga consists of several movements, and is very similar to a western classical symphony.
The listener is brought of a journey through melodic and rhythmic structure and improvisations.
Dan Blanchard blends ancient Indian classical music with world and electronic music to transport you to blissful states of mind during yoga and meditation practice or to uplift you during your daily life.
Classically trained on the santoor by Indian master Pandit Satish Vyas and joined by other talented musicians from the world and sound healing scene, Dan explores the therapeutic power of music and adapts it for modern world needs, providing a powerful and engaging experience for overall well-being and inner peace.
Mixed by Dan Blanchard and Ronan Chris Murphy
Mastered by Ronan Chris Murphy at Veneto West https://ronanchrismurphy.com/
What’s the Unique Thing About This Album ?
Indian Classical musicis improvisation in nature.
There are rules (certain notes and phrases) to each raga, and there is a typical progression (discussed below with the details of each track).
The album is one raga – it has the same mood throughout, through movements of freeform melody as well as rhythmic exploration.
Cello and Ambient Guitar are not typical Indian Classical Instruments. Having these instruments provides another dimension to the album.
The first song particularly has been described as cinematic. Indian Classical music is a tonal music style, all notes are in relationship to the drone. As opposed to equal tempered tuning required for western music with chords and different keys which slices the octave into equal steps, the Indian notes (Swaras) are based on simple ratios (3/2, 4/3, 5/4, 7/5, etc.) and mimic the relationships with nature. This adds to the relaxing quality of the music.
1. Unwind (Alaap) [17:29] – Alaap is the beginning of the rāga where the melodic structure is slowly improvised and unveiled in a freeform style without rhythm. This is performed on the santoor, a 100-stringed Indian instrument, with accompaniment by Bansuri Flute, Cello, Ambient Guitar, Harmonium, and Tanpura (drone instrument).
2. Deeper (Jod) [12:41] – Jod adds a rhythm to the melodic introduction in Alaap.
3. Swirling (Vilambit Gat in Jhaptaal) [14:30] – This is a slow (“Vilambit”) tempo composition (“Gat”) set to a 10 beat (“Jhaptaal”) rhythmic cycle, accompanied by the tabla (Indian hand drums).
4. Building (Madhya Gat in Teentaal) [8:22] – This is a medium (“Madhya”) tempo composition (“Gat”) set to a 16 beat (“Teentaal”) rhythmic cycle, accompanied by the tabla.
5. Ascent (Drut Gat in Teentaal) [6:34] – This is a fast (“Drut”) tempo composition (“Gat”) set to a 16 beat (“Teentaal”) rhythmic cycle, accompanied by the tabla, ending with a very fast climax called Jhala. In a typical performance this would be the end of the rāga.
6. Let Go [10:27] – A final relaxation with vocal and flute, to integrate the musical journey.

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.
Uplifting sunshine grooves with remixes from Colombian to India, the UK with a few European mainland connections thrown in for good measure. The lyric suggests not been held down by the people in high places, the unknown powers who make decisions about out lives that we have no control over.
‘I want to rise like the sun and hold back for no one’ is a lyric sung with power and persuasion by Dar.Ra who takes a further dig at those powers by singing;
‘I wanna live the dream with impunity like the rich do with ease’, ‘I been crying crying out loud I been down in the dirt the dirt and the dust, Trying to reach up from the gutter to the stars’
Sums up the frustration of the singer to be heard in a world that is obsessed with money and power rather than concern for the real issues that we face as a human race.
Dar.Ra has a way however of making the Music and melodies sound so sweet that you would miss the subliminal storylines that lurk beneath the clean mixes and beautiful musicianship on each track he puts out.
On the ‘Rise Like The Sun’ single there are 6 mixes all named after different places on the globe in an attempt to bring the world together rather than see ourselves separated by colours and creeds. Columbian Sun Cut is the real deal in the Latin house area and Vidula a producer from Sri Lanka puts his distinct flavours on his Indian Sun Remix.
The other remixes come from Dar.Ra and have an Indigenous theme to them as is also reflected in the Cover artwork which pays homage to the Aboriginal national flag.
‘Rise Like The Sun’ is out on Kusha Deep Music this fall.

The brand new single ‘Rise Like The Sun’ is out now on all good digital retailers.
Tiana Kocher teamed up with multi-platinum recording artist and rapper Sage the Gemini for her latest single release, ‘Take Over’, which she wrote with GRAMMY award-winning writer Candace Wakefield, and Sage the Gemini.
Releasing through Manila Music, the ‘Take Over’ music video was directed by Ali Zamani and produced by Zeus Zamani of AZ Films. Set on a Southern California sun drenched backdrop, ‘Take Over’ is a song about love, but through the eyes of both the male and female’s perspective of a couple finding each other and “taking over” the world together.
“Take Over’ was one of the first songs I ever recorded in Los Angeles,” says Kocher. “I recorded and filmed the music video over two years ago during summer 2018, and it was my first song working with a feature. 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.”
Sage the Gemini has been featured on several award-winning songs including records with Chris Brown and Flo Rida, and has produced a multitude of songs, most recently for Tinashe and Tyga.
Tiana Kocher has collaborated with several GRAMMY award-winning recording artists including TLC, Faith Evans and Latin reggaeton J. Alvarez amongst others, as well as multiple award-winning record producers including Laney Stewart, Leon “RoccStar” Youngblood, Warren Kurtiss and Tyler Reynolds.
‘Take Over’ 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.
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.
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.

‘Ta$te It’ is an infectious hip-hop song that features Katrina Kusa’s confident, yet playful tone atop Indian Trap’s signature ground-breaking production. Katrina calls out her haters in the song with a catchy hook that you will not be able to get out of your head.
Produced by Indian Trap, the production features traditional Indian sounds combined with modern day trap and hip-hop elements creating a soundscape like no other.
Rapping comes naturally to Katrina Kusa, who has always had a way with words. The 16-year-old artist is most famous for her award-winning novel, The Kingdom of the Lizards, which was released in 2014. In 2019, Katrina had the opportunity to work on a music project in Los Angeles, CA that included hints of pop, urban, rap, hip-hop, and trap genres.
This would open doors for Katrina’s new career venture as a rap artist. In the past year, she has worked with incredible songwriter, Delos, who has worked with Katy Perry and Madonna, as well as aspiring recording artist, Vivaswan.
Katrina was recently discovered by Indian Trap “J2”, (music producer who has worked with Shakira, Beyoncé, Pussy Cat Dolls, and Cassie). J2 introduced Katrina to his world of “Indian Trap,” creating an urban/hip-hop/pop/trap record that led to her debut single “Ta$te It.”
More is yet to come for Katrina Kusa as she begins the next phase of her musical journey.
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?

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”.

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.

“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.
