LYRICS SPECIAL – CHRISTOPHER BENDER – GLAD IN IT.

So many of us are going through,
Your burdens get so heavy
you don’t know what to do,
But I’ve been sent on assignment
to encourage you,
You can’t give up now you have so much to do

The enemy wants you to quit
Wants you to throw in the towel
And say this it,

Your help is here today,
Whenever you feel life’s pressure
Here’s what you gotta say

Chorus:
I will be glad in it (4x)

So many things are going wrong
But these trials come to
only make you strong
The Father really needs you
to keep holding on
And keep a praise on your lips
Cause it won’t be long,

The enemy he wants you to quit
Wants you to throw in the towel
And say this it,
But I’ve been sent to remind you
Your help is here today,

I will be glad in it (4x)

DISCOVER RAP, TRAP AND GLOBAL HIP-HOP: To hell and back with Glory and sacrifice, ‘You Live On’ from Colombian Swedish rapper REMMEH drops a positive melodic real life beat Trap Rap tale

Very few people on this earth can say they’ve visited Hell and returned to tell the story –

REMMEH is one of them.

The Swedish Colombian rapper has struggled with questions surrounding faith and God for his entire life.

Does God exist? To find the answer, he embarked on a spiritual journey that eventually led him into the literal depths of Hell… and it was a frightening, lonely place. When he finally came back to earth, everything became clear to him.

DISCOVER RAP, TRAP AND GLOBAL HIP-HOP: To hell and back with Glory and sacrifice, ‘You Live On’ from Colombian Swedish rapper REMMEH drops a positive melodic real life Beat Trap Rap tale.

God is here on earth, but as we are – as humans, we find that harsh to Realize. Now, REMMEH speaks through music to share his truth with the world.

Early in his career, REMMEH experimented with all kinds of Hip Hop subgenres, like trap, R&B rap, and emo, with the hopes of one day making it to the top of the rap game.

Attachment_1577369088

As time went on his sound became more focused, and more humble; success was no longer the end goal for him – now he just wants to connect with other lost souls and share the good vibes.

Remmehs-best-music-2019-20209

In December 2019 REMMEH released the deeply personal single “You Live On”, a commemorative song dedicated to three of his biggest musical inspirations.

ENEMY cartoon cover

Listeners around the world fell in love with the track, and since then it has racked up tens of thousands of streams across all digital platforms.

People always want things to be logical, reasonable… but oftentimes the truth is crazier than you think.

DISCOVER AMERICAN POP ROCK PREMIERES: Strolling down memory lane with an old flame in driving pop rock fashion, ‘Bryan Mullis’ a.k.a By Small Ruin releases stunning new single ‘Take Me With You’ + Lyrics Special

By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible.

The incredible brand new single from ‘By Small Ruin’ is entitled ‘Take Me With You’ .

Bryan Mullis talks about the story behind the song saying “This song was written after catching up with an old girlfriend online. We spent a few days messaging back and forth when I realized we had inadvertently moved beyond surface-level chit chat. Suddenly, I was 17 again and ready to go wherever she lead”.

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.

LYRICS SPECIAL – TAKE ME WITH YOU – BY SMALL RUIN

I got your DM tonight

Gotta say it took me by surprise

Cause my lips haven’t said your name in years

That old pic took me back as well

Thoughts of loving you and raising hell

Don’t know why you want to stroll down memory lane But hey

Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Cause right now you’re messing with my head Take me with you

Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself Up late here we go again

I see you typing and I start to grin

I’ve been wondering what was on your mind all day

These little sessions are a crazy drug

You got me glowing like a lightning bug

The trip put me on is such a world away

I have to say Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Right now you’re messing with my head

Take me with you Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself

You keep on hinting Might be pretending

I’ll play along even if it’s just fun

Don’t keep me waiting

Stop hesitating I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run

We lost touch just out of school

And I forgot about the golden rule

Wanted you to call, but never called myself

So point a finger and I’ll take the blame

Glad to hear you’re done with what’s his name

Don’t know how I ever let you slip away But not today (pause)

Take me with you Damn sure, take me with you

Right now you’re messing with my head T

ake me with you

Now you gotta take me with you

Don’t leave me dreaming by myself

You keep on hinting Might be pretending I’ll play along even if it’s just fun

Don’t keep me waiting

Stop hesitating

I hope this convo’s not a hit-and-run

INTERVIEW SPECIAL – THERÉSE NEAIMÉ

What inspired you to get into music?

Growing up, music and dancing was always present in my home. Can´t count the numerous dance contests I participated in. I was also very early inspired by anyone who believed enough in themselves to go for their dreams and so I decided to follow that path too. I truly believe life is about becoming the best version of ourselves. Following a path of excellence can be difficult, but not doing so should scare me even more. ”Ask and you might receive! Dare and you will gain!”.

How would you describe your music?

I believe my music has a modern pop/edm sound with roots in the Swedish tradition of top songwriting and music making. A music that combines my Swedish and Lebanese heritage, into a Scandipop hybrid. Sometimes also combined with a salty Latin flavor.

What would you say is your recording and song writing style?

It has always been important to me that my music comes from my heart. Therefore, a new song of mine, very often starts with my idea on what the subject should be. Usually a subject taken straight from my own life. Then me and my musicians meet up and start jamming in the studio. From there we build the melody and develop the lyrics together. Sometimes I write most of the lyrics myself. I truly love the whole collaboration idea. To bring out the best in each and everyone in the creating process.

Where would you like to see your music career in 5 years time?

My wish is to keep making a living doing what I love the most which is music. I´ve been lucky to be in the music business for the last 20 years which is a goal by itself. Hopefully in 5 years time my songs have spread even further globally, and another world tour will have seen its day light. The goal is also to keep on inspiring people, be it through my music but also through my motivational speaking and acting.

Where can music fans listen to your music?

DISCOVER THE BEST POP DANCE HOUSE FUSIONS OF 2020: Vienna Artist, DJ and producer ‘Flowmotion’ drops a classy tech-house meets Trap Synth Pop gem with haunting new single ‘Lights’

Flowmotion is an artist, DJ, and producer who developed a melodic style, reminiscent of artists as diverse as Steve Aoki, AVICII, and Diplo, only to mention but a few.

Recently, he came out with a brand new studio release titled LIGHTS. The song stands out for its romantic, nostalgic lyrics, not to mention its atmospheric production aesthetics. The track kicks off with some reverberated guitar tones, and it continues with a build up of sound and textures, leading up to an amazing drop.

The beat has a unique combination between tech-house influences and even some trap, with some 808-sounding snares thrown into the mix for good measure. The melodic synths merge in perfectly well with the deeper bass tones, which really set the bar higher.

The verses are more laid back, often leaving the guitar as the main instrument, before the beat returns to hit in full blast, bringing the song to its dynamic height.


Dj Flowmotion is currently 24 years old. Music was always his passion! In his childhood he started to learn the piano and since then he got interested in music.
Nowadays he is one of the most famous DJ – Artists in Vienna.

He started his first mix on Soundcloud in 2014 which got in the first two months already more than 4.000 listeners. That was amazing for that time!

Since his career started he played already at the biggest Clubs in Austria like Praterdome Vienna, Empire St. Martin, Till Neulengbach and many more.

DISCOVER RAP AGAINST RACISM 2020: The incredible Rap messenger ‘Abel Meri’ drops "#BLM" a prolific deep dive, social spit and commentary on the current state of civil rights and police brutality in America

Think Fab meets Jadakiss meets J. Cole as 90’s era boom bap lines collide with modern day sonic vibrations. Seamlessly bridging the generational gap, this is what evolved rap sounds like.

Abel is an Ethiopian-born and DMV-bred recording artist. An MC’s MC and a throwback to the era of bars and lyricism, Abel’s 90’s influence is apparent immediately, yet is refreshingly complemented by a contemporary flow and delivery.

Substantive, conscious, thought provoking rap served over soulful instrumentals. No cursing or negative imagery. Just timeless, uplifting rap music that feeds the soul. Packed full of punchlines, word play, flow patterns, cadence, delivery styles and alliteration, Abel’s versatility and range are limitless.

Employing the recording style of Jay-Z and Biggie, Abel prides himself on never writing down rhymes. All of his music is created and recorded in a stream of consciousness in the moment.
Abel has been releasing music at a furious pace in 2020 having dropped 3 EPs and several standout singles.

From R&B laced bangers like “Jaded”, “No Brainer” and “Seasons” to a punchline onslaught on “Salute”to the summertime rhythm of “Vibes” or the faith-based “We On 1“, real hip hop heads are sure to get goosebumps from the first bars. Head will undoubtedly nod from start to finish.

IMG_0993

His latest release “#BLM” is a prolific deep dive of social commentary on the current state of civil rights and police brutality in America. Brutally honest lyrics served over gritty and soulful instrumentation, #BLM delivers a passionate and well reasoned message of frustration that necessitates immediate and drastic change to current status quo.

In an era seemingly dominated with simplistic and unimpressive lyrics submerged in a relentless flood of quasi-melodic autotune, it’s truly refreshing to hear a real lyricist delivering a meaningful and positive message to the world.

She got nominated for best pop artist at LA MUSIC Awards and best pop song at HMMA Awards. Her first album release show was at Palladium in Hollywood in front of 4.000 people but that was nothing compared to the biggest performance of her life, the AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS 2010.

It was after meeting and working with Kim Fowley (Joan Jett, GNR) and Noizee (Marky Ramone) at the end of 2011 that inspired Sabrina to become an independent artist.

DISCOVER HOUSE DANCE EDM : ‘Happy Sadness’ by ‘Guantamano Bae’ is an epic dance cut that took inspiration from time spent working as a prison guard in Guantanamo Bay.

Guantanamo Bae took inspiration for this single from time spent working as a prison guard in Guantanamo Bay. Experiencing a spectrum of emotions while dealing with the secluded conditions, GB wrote ‘Happy Sadness’. This creative piece, in today’s climate of isolation due to the global pandemic, provides an uplifting dance track that allows the listener to zone out and enjoy the positive energy emitted from this single.

James Jager’s remix of the single adds to the original intention of GB by creating an epic dance track that is expertly produced, allowing the listener to disappear into the euphoric flow of the melody effortlessly. Various instrumental drops throughout the track, like the one found around the three minute mark, add just the right amount of space for anticipation to build, resulting in a gratifying sound that will absolutely please fans of dance music.

A powerful bass-line, coupled with panned instrumentation, an energetic beat and an addictive vocal line amalgamate to form a sound that is both unique to James Jager and true to the original single. Make sure you follow James and GB on their social media to keep up to date with upcoming releases and performances!

Guantanamo Bae’s (GB) prodigious power to compose innovative and superior EDM tracks began as a pastime in college that fused into publishing on streaming platforms.  Garnering responses from exuberant supporters, GB turned his attention to live performances, a serious-minded craft that is as important to producing the music alone.

Amid the global explosion of Electronic Dance Music, a genre that thrives almost exclusively in nightclubs and festivals of cosmopolitan cities, GB emerged from the small farm town of DeSoto, Missouri.  After serving in the U.S. Navy, he relocated to New York City to attend college and the music passion began. 

Experimenting with GarageBand and advancing to Ableton GB., GB was able to share tracks with close friends at house parties and small club gatherings in New York City.

Guantanamo Bae understands everyone’s need for a diversion from these challenging.  He accomplishes this by incorporating melodic mixes and uplifting elements that is a celebration on the dance floor.

With sizeable performances shows forthcoming, GB is excited and focused to carry on his rapid rise out of a small farm town to the around the globe.

DISCOVER COUNTRY ROCK OF 2020: With a warm well produced country sound, ‘Paradise Motel’ ride into lockdown towns with big, real, sentimental, fun and melodic songs on their touching, epic  and grand album ‘Black Dove’ 

If You Ever Leave Me” hovered around as an idea for a song for about 30 years. Glenn Ellery is the primary writer and I remember us chatting about “If you ever leave me, can I come too?” as early as 1990.

Glenn presented a rough demo and after some adjustments and alterations in the chorus and the bed tracks we produced what you’re about to hear. It’s a fun kind of a tongue-in-cheek look at traditional country music and we really enjoyed the process of taking it from rough demo to the finished song. We hope you like it!!Ray Mussell.

The first single, “Fire In The Hole” was released in 1992 and was followed up with a video on CMT.

We were starting to gain recognition and invited to appear at Fan Fair in Nashville. In 1992, we went full-time touring and toured extensively for two and a half years playing in venues in Canada and the USA, opening for major label acts, doing festivals, and major circuit clubs. Though eventually, we folded in 1994.

DISCOVER SHORT FILMS AND MUSIC VIDEO TRENDS of 2020: ‘Mackenzie Nicole’ drops a forward thinking epic musical film with her modern masterpiece ‘Mystic’ out now on Strange Films

In the spring of 2018, Mackenzie Nicole unveiled her debut album, The Edge.

It’s songs tallied over 1 million Spotify streams, and her videos totalled 8 million-plus views.

On the outside, Mackenzie seemed to be a happy and fearless 18-year-old whose hard work and talent was starting to pay off. On the inside, she was literally fighting for her life.

She explains, “The first time I remember contemplating suicide, I was six years old, so I’ve been no stranger to mental illness. However, I learned how to cohabitate with my demons, viewing my suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and OCD as a sort of haunted house in which I was forced to reside.”

She continues, “When I thought I could suffer no more surprises at the hands of my mental state, I was blindsided by an acute mental breakdown that overtook my entire life. When my psychiatrist diagnosed me with bipolar I disorder, I felt a sense of relief.”

As Mackenzie dove into her ongoing journey of recovery, she also had a responsibility to start writing and recording a new album.

With a sense of obligation to her own mental health and a need to reach anybody else that might be struggling, Mystic was born.

“I knew immediately the story must be told. I promptly began recording an autobiographical chronicle of my odyssey through the stages of mental health.”

Tapping into a reflective and ethereal vibe throughout the songs and visual story, she shares her innermost insecurities, struggles, and triumphs, hoping to connect with others through shared experiences. Mystic is more than a concept album. It is a personal yet relatable journal both musically and visually.

“This is an important topic,” says Mackenzie. “I wanted to handle it in an artistic and personal way. If you have been in the dark place, you know it is a little monster always ready to destroy you. I hope people walk away with a greater understanding of themselves and others.

DISCOVER ELECTRONIC POP DROPS OF 2020: ‘N2BLÜ’ release a meditative, infectious ‘pop mantra’ of a single with the reflective, catchy, warm and poppy sleek journey of ‘Better Now’

Pop Dance masters N2BLÜ return in true style with an incredible, epic and different pop single.

The new single ‘Better Now’ comes packed with an electro ‘Cloudbusting’ beat vibe and ‘The Might be Giants’ pop flair and could be their biggest hit yet.

Shimmering synths, pounding drums, warm sensitive vocals and lyrics, 80’s pop sensibility and a big song treatment.

If this doesn’t stick in your head nothing will.

When asked about the meaning behind the single Jonathan from N2BLÜ said:  

Better Now is a very personal song about a past relationship and a past version of myself (Jonathan). I used to feel unworthy of love and that lead me to relationships and people that weren’t the healthiest. The journey to self acceptance is not an easy one and it never really ends. It’s something we have to work on every day and all we can really hope for is to be better now than we were then”.

LYRICS SPOTLIGHT – BETTER NOW

Better Now by N2BLÜ

Just like a hole in the heart of the ocean

You make me wish that I could drown

Keep pouring myself into your void of emotions

As your anchor pulls me down

And I’m losing myself just to feed your ego

But it’s never enough to make this love grow

Even though we don’t fit, you don’t stop me trying Leaving me the only one crying

But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now Better now

Wearing the mask of someone who knows love

Your flashing colors draw me in

Painting my fantasy as you fit me like a glove

Where you end and I begin?

You keep drawing me in with flames of passion

When all that I want is your love reaction

Even though it’s not right, I still do it for you

Hoping someday you’ll be the one that’s true

But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now Better now

You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve

You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve…

Better now I know better I I know better now I know better I

I know better now Better now Better now

Better now Better now Better now I deserve better now I deserve better now

Better now Better now Better now I know better I

I know better now I know better Better now

Better now Better now

HISTORY OF N2BLÜ 

The previous hit single from N2BLÜ  was entitled ‘Again’. 

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 The Ashes”, 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 Peter Rauhofer 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.

DISCOVER CLASSIC GRUNGE PIONEERS: Get the rock n’ roll 3 decade lowdown on Seattle grunge legends ‘The Fire Ants’ as they get you rocking and ‘Stripped’

The Fire Ants may not have gained worldwide popularity yet, but they need no introduction to the fans of the Seattle sound that defined a generation.

The year was 1992 when Seattle’s grunge scene was making waves across the city, and the band released their six-song EP “Stripped” on Dekema Records.

The EP was recorded by legendary Sub Pop and grunge producer Jack Endino, who also recorded and produced albums for Nirvana, Mudhoney, and Soundgarden.

He is credited with helping to create Seattle’s grunge movement and sound. The album was remastered by Endino in 2015 and re-released by Dekema Records as a Deluxe Edition with nine additional demo tracks the band recorded back in 1992, prior to the Endino sessions, with Marty Jourard, a member of 80’s New Wave band The Motels.

Members of The Fire Ants band include Chad Channing, Nirvana’s original drummer, Brian and Kevin Wood (brothers of Andrew Wood, formerly of Mother Love Bone) and Dan McDonald (former bassist for Native Messiah and Strait Face).

Chad was the drummer on Nirvana’s first album “Bleach”, and he originally played on demos for what would become the “Nevermind” album.

Brian and Kevin’s brother Andrew Wood was the lead singer of Mother Love Bone until his passing in 1990. The members of Mother Love Bone went on to team up with Eddie Vedder and became Pearl Jam.

Prior to The Fire Ants, Kevin and Andrew Wood were in the influential Seattle band Malfunkshun.

FA_Cover_Small

The band’s record Stripped received a great response from grunge fans when it was initially released back in 1992.

The opening track of the album, “Bodies by the Side of the Road” reminds one of bands like Guns N’ Roses and Stone Temple Pilots while “Mine, His, Alive” is the most hard-hitting track on the album with its monolithic guitar riffs and gnarly vocal tones.

The song “100 Wives” has Led Zeppelin influences, and the intro to “Waiting on Your Love” has a hard-hitting rock and roll vibe.

The demo track “She Drove Me Crazy” offers a cool insight into the band’s rehearsal process.

All in all, the album has a certain nostalgia as it acts as a memory of an era when grunge music evolved over a decade from having a softer side to taking a dark twist in the second half of the ’90s.

Listen to the album Stripped (Deluxe Edition) on Spotify.com.
