I do musical collages with samples from all over the place. The results are not easily fitting to a specific genre. And there is always a surprising element or transition, I think.

The track contains sound from a C64. And its about ringing the alarm. So the title is obvious.

Releasing more an more of my tracks. I have tons.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
I like exchanging sounds with others to create remixes.
Alex Wellkers Fuses Genres with Grandeur on 'Fly Away'
The Swiss singer-songwriter Alex Wellkers just published his sophomore full-length album ‘Fly Away’, an astounding multidimensional creation. The eleven-track album incorporates the music of rock, pop, hip-hop, classical and so forth and conveys a cinematic experience by means of powerful vocals of Wellkers.
The album’s entry is the gentle “You Want Us” followed by the more abrasive “We Celebrate.” The first two songs are sung totally in French, the last one is in French, Swiss-German and English but with the hip-hop groove. Violins and violas weave through the tune providing an atmosphere of magnificence.
“It’s an album for people who are fans of dramatic pop music and rock,” said Wellkers. “My desire was to create a style that was new but also, combining different styles resulted in something that was unique.” This is a fabulous work which should be listened to several times to understand its mastery.
He started to compose hip-hop songs when he was 11 years old and occasionally mentions Marilyn Manson and Queens of the Stone Age as some of his idols. Nevertheless, ‘Fly Away’ showcases the uniqueness of an artist that cannot be found elsewhere. Through slow-burn start all the way to genre-mashing final, it is a mysterious tale, very intense and pretty thrilling with lots of raw emotion and music of unpredictable moves.
Wellkers’ aspiration is obvious, as showcased through their clever, multi-layered beat. “I am trying very hard to make it different,” he replies. “There’s something for everyone – the rock fans, the pop fans, the classical music lovers – with this album.” He has created a unique type of experience, that keeps people hanging around, by ‘Fly Away’.
What is your stage name Alex Wellkers Is there a story behind your stage name? At the time Alex Wellkers was created, I listened nearly exclusively to the music by Oasis. So I decided that Alex Wellkers was born in Burnage, Manchester.
Where do you find inspiration? Other musicians, some movies, whatever. I like artists like Marilyn Manson, Schlingensief, QOTSA, Deftones as well as movies like Trainspotting and Clockwork Orange. But, in the end, I also listen to pretty commercial productions so I am not really restricted to some kind of music, I nearly listen to everything. From Hip-Hop to Pop to Classic, from Underground to Mainstream.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life? In my early childhood, I liked watching Knight Rider so I liked the music by David Hasselhoff a lot but I was really young back then. At the beginning of my youth, I mainly listened to Toten Hosen, Ärzte and Bon Jovi.
Later, I had a phase in which I listened to Hip-Hop, even a lot of Swiss-German Hip-Hop like Primitive Lyrics. When I got a bit older, that changed to Grunge and Rock music. Marilyn Manson, Queens of the Stone Age.
Are you from a musical or artistic family? On my mother’s side yes, she plays the piano. She also sold vinyl and later compact discs for a living. That’s why I got in touch with 80s music like Whitney Houston, Barbara Streisand, Sandra, Matthias Reim, Michael Jackson and all this very early.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I am not part of the music industry, I am just someone who records some kind of music that probably will never be seriously heard. However, if, what you ask, will ever happen, that would then definitely be Brian Warner.
His music influenced me a lot in the 90s and 0s. I doubt I would hit it off with him if we met. Chances are high that we are very different. But, artistically, what he did during the 90s and the 0s, is unique and irreplaceable.
I am not part of the music industry, I am just someone who records some kind of music that probably will never be seriously heard
How did you learn to sing/write/to play? At 6, I started to play the accordion. Later began to play the keyboard and the guitar. Started to write my first songs at age 11. During my youth, mainly wrote Hip-Hop songs in German and Swiss-German, did a lot of freestyles back then.
Came from Hip-Hop to Grunge and Rock music with Alice in Chains, Queens of the Stone Age. At the end of my youth, I found out that, in principle, I might be not too bad at singing. So I changed the songs a bit and started to write English Rock songs from time to time.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? David Hasselhoff in the Hallenstadion Zurich.
How could you describe your music? It’s hard to say cause I try to make it diverse but maybe this is a very subjective estimation. I think one can hear that, during the last years, I made some progress. And I keep on learning.
Describe your creative process. Either I write a song sitting at a piano or in the homestudio with an e-guitar. I usually play some repeating chords and take some lyrics that I wrote before. Then I start singing those lines in different ways. If I find something catchy, I record it on my smart phone and write the chords and the lyrics down.
I try to switch some chords but stay in the key and find something else. When I have at least 3 nice parts, I decide the most catchy part to be the chorus and start arranging some pilot tracks.
What is your main inspiration? I think it’s the same for everyone. Achieve something in life, go places. Creating something new and unique.
What musician do you admire most and why? Farin Urlaub managed to keep his private life out of the press, that’s very admirable. He did that in a very elegant way.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? No because there was never anything like a career in my life.
Who do you see as your main competitor? Noone. Music is not a competition.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? I do not see any problem there. I just make music the best way I can.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
I would not know what to change and I am not in the position to change anything since I am not part of it right now.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? Title comes from one of my songs, I liked the meaning of the 2 words and the sound of it.
What are your plans for the coming months? I will continue to finish the recordings of the follower of this album. Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
Unfortunately not 🙂 What message would you like to give to your fans? Be yourself.

Sonic Alchemy: TATE SEDAR's Electrifying “San Francisco”
In a kaleidoscope of sound that’s as confusingly mesmerizing as fog over the Golden Gate Bridge, TATE SEDAR’s “San Francisco” is an electrifying jumble of hip-hop beats chasing post-EDM synths down Lombard Street. Imagine if Jack Kerouac jotted verses to the stuttering rhythm of strobe lights—this track would be bellowing from the clubs he’d meander past.
“San Francisco,” not content with simply nodding to its namesake, plunges into a love affair with it, twirling around all those laid-back West Coast vibes before dunking them in a neon vat of future-shock aesthetics. Here we have SEDAR—a sonic alchemist—melding dreamy riffs you might hear on Haight-Ashbury corners with lo-fi chops and electro drums robust enough to rival the city’s famed trolley cars.
Sonic Alchemy: TATE SEDAR’s Electrifying “San Francisco”
The release stands shoulder-to-shoulder yet towers above previous works like “Heaven“—it’s clear our Insomniac artist has bravely ventured further into electronic wilderness here. It’s like hopping between decades at warp speed; one moment there are echoes reminiscent of Empire’s heart-wrenchingly soulful “Hero,” and then snap—the reverberation morphs into something that could easily make Justin Bieber’s “Hold On” quiver in its boots.
For ears hungry for innovation and feet itching to dance on stardust, TATE SEDAR gives us “San Francisco.” The track serves up auditory snapshots so complex they deserve gallery space at SFMOMA. Listen once, and the experience is deja vu wrapped in novelty—an audio paradox that feels disorientingly familiar yet intoxicatingly new.
An In-Depth Look: Reviewing Storytell's 'Earth, Love, and Roses
Hello everybody, welcome to today’s dissection, I call it dissection because together we are going to have a thorough breakdown of the latest album Earth, Love, and Roses by Storytell. Now let’s begin with the name and how it came about.
When asked about the origin of the name, this is what they had to say
“The name Storytell pays homage to the figurines of the American Southwest that represent oral tradition and storytelling. Legends and myths were passed down orally long before books were written, and these stories and the people who tell them serve as vessels for preserving the thoughts and experiences of cultures.”
This is evident in their music and Earth, Love, and Roses doesn’t fall short of that, all the songs on the album stick out and flows seamlessly, Storytell uses song and sound to transmit elemental themes.
The first song on the album is just the perfect opener for an album this good, and I can’t think of any other song than this, the title Cool Winds opens with the sound of a cool breeze, and we all enjoy the cool winds on a sunny afternoon, just like that you tend to expect whats next, in just 4minutes and 41 seconds you experience different types of sounds and the highs and lows of the musical instruments, just like Cool Winds.
If you are a fan of uptempo music then surely you would fall in love with A Storytell which doubles as the second song on the album the song’s protagonist appears intertwined in a Greek drama:
I feel alive by the water side
As the sky come tumbling down
Up in the heavens I see the gods and all the angels
Laughing about this time, it’s suicide
One thing you cannot miss out on this album is the use of instruments in the songs magic was performed by Tony DiCarlo (vocals, guitar), Pix (guitar, bass, and keys), and Steven Dodds (drums, percussion, keys).
Just like Cool Winds, Gekko Blues is opened by elegant display of guitar riffs, the lyrics stems from an experience Pix had on a solo journey in Mendocino National Forest after arriving virtually penniless in California and freshly dumped by his girlfriend; DiCarlo’s lyrics cleverly tell the story from both Pix’s and the gecko’s perspectives.
An In-Depth Look: Reviewing Storytell’s ‘Earth, Love, and Roses
The dream pop of “Hazy Dayz” conjures the fog and denizens of Golden Gate Park that Pix and DiCarlo experienced upon moving to the Bay Area:
Like the fog that steals the day away
And the moon that takes the tide
And every freak I see
I’d love to have them freak with me
Weather wrong may be right
The fifth track “Terra” is a love letter to Earth and a call to action:
You feel the Earth, it’s all around you
The cool wind cutting through your skin
You can hear the howling from the hill
The album has a total of 10 songs on it and I must say all the songs are well structured, personally how they used the instruments is what captures me, unlike modern day music which are short lived, the songs on Earth, Love, and Roses are quite lengthy, its like the band wants you to not only listen to them, but also transport you to a different world.
Telling you everything about Earth, Love, and Roses is like showing the highlights of a movie you are eager to watch, so go and stream the songs as much as you would want to

Echoes of Endurance: TaniA Kyllikki's Musical Story of Perseverance
Now I would like to introduce TaniA Kyllikki. In her performance, she doesn’t merely sing but she captures your heart and squeezes it at her command. She has been in the field of music for more than a few years but definitely, the pandemic has been a kick-start of that journey. Probably, you recall her debut hit “Lie With Me” in 2020 and after that, her career got on a real start – “In These Eyes,” “H.W.C,” and “Remind Me” are on everyone’s playlists.
Now, let’s dive into her musical partner, whose role is more significant than that of just a musical partner, her husband, Rynellton. They are the ideal duo for the studio and a rocking number “I Struck Gold With You” is their evidence. It is all that matters – love, connection, and smiling even when you are apart from the world.
It’s the TaniA’s voice that really stands out. Hoo boy, when she sings, it’s you can feel like she’s spilling out her soul for everyone to see. And the lyrics that just punch you right in the chest will make you spellbound to the action.
Nevertheless, we must be honest to admit that TaniA’s life wasn’t all about the good weather and spectrum of colors. She, experiencing some difficulties, including having been abused and being ill. Nevertheless, she did not let it force her to give up her music and turn her pain into its beauty.
Music-wise, TaniA is definitely not about to break the speed limit. She plans to generate her next studio album, “Free-Spirited,” this year. Thus, if you desire a singer who is as immaculate as ever, you should pay well enough attention to TaniA Kyllikki – this girl will soon conquer the world.
My professional persona consists of my middle names.
Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration in every aspect of my life! My personal experiences and the people I’ve encountered on my journey inspire every song I create. I am constantly writing songs, and together with my husband, we have amassed a vast collection of unreleased music. We have our own music vault, which is quite impressive.
Music possesses a remarkable ability to turn even the most heartbreaking situations into something uplifting. It has the power to stir our emotions and transport us through a range of feelings and experiences. This is where I draw my inspiration from. Incorporating the past, cherishing the present, and capturing these precious moments in timeless melodies.
What was the role of music in your early life?
A wide variety of music genres, including R&B, soul, classical, pop, rock, hip-hop, gospel, and more, influenced me as I was growing up. Music has always been a significant influence in my life, from a very young age. I always knew I would be doing music professionally one day. In many ways, I believe music has had a profound impact on my life, and it is my true calling.
There is nothing else that brings me greater happiness. I firmly believe that every individual possesses unique abilities given to them by God at birth. Pursuing a career in music has been my lifelong passion, a dream that has fueled my every step, and it’s incredible to have this now become my reality. The best way I can describe music is that it’s like the oxygen I need to survive! In my opinion, they are equal.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Absolutely! I have several family members who possess great talent in music or art, or even both. It’s deeply rooted in my family history.
Who inspired you to be apart of the music industry?
There are countless music legends that have inspired me to pursue a career in singing and song-writing. Their influence has driven me to strive for professionalism in my own musical journey.
How did you learn to sing/write/and play?
I attribute my ability to sing, write songs, and play the piano to God. It is a gift that I am grateful for. I didn’t have the opportunity to receive formal training or attend a specialised school for the performing arts due to financial constraints. However, I have acquired my skills through self-teaching.
I have a keen sense of sound and have honed my skills by studying under industry experts, carefully analysing their vocal techniques, and dissecting the intricacies of song composition. Even as a child, I had a mature perspective, feeling a deep connection to and understanding of songs that resonated with grown women. My natural talent is responsible for my ability to sing and write songs.
Now, let’s dive into her musical partner, whose role is more significant than that of just a musical partner, her husband, Rynellton
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
To be honest, aside from attending music festivals and concerts where I’ve performed or supported other independent artists, I haven’t had the opportunity to attend any major celebrity concerts yet. There have been instances where I couldn’t afford certain things, partly because I’ve been prioritising my music career and investing in it, and partly because of my unpredictable health condition, which poses risks for me. I’ve watched numerous celebrity concerts on TV, if that counts LOL.
How could you describe your music?
To best describe my songs, I’d say that they have very personal lyrics and singing that come from the heart. It’s a mix of mostly soulful R&B and some pop elements. However, my overall sound has many different layers. My vocal range is within 5 octaves, and I like putting together a mix of various genres of music in my releases. I don’t put limits on myself; I enjoy discovering new parts of my musical abilities.
Describe your creative process?
I don’t follow any specific guidelines when it comes to music; inspiration comes to me organically. On a daily basis, I have a music box residing in my mind that produces either lyrical compositions, instrumental arrangements, or a harmonious combination of both. I have an instinctive knack for naturally creating catchy melodies and whole musical compositions, which I frequently capture by recording them on my mobile phone. Currently, I have created a sufficient number of songs to fill multiple albums in the coming years.
What is your main inspiration?
The main inspiration behind my song-writing is the ability to create music that evokes powerful emotions, establishes a profound connection with listeners, and leaves a lasting impact that compels them to come back for repeated experiences. It is people who serve as my main source of inspiration. Reading comments from people expressing how much my songs have impacted their lives deeply moves me.
What musician did you admire most and why?
I must acknowledge that Prince’s music has transcended boundaries and has a multifaceted nature, blending several genres harmoniously. He repeatedly avoided limiting himself; he consistently avoided becoming content, and I admired that quality in him.
My husband is an avid admirer of Prince, and over the years, he has motivated me to explore what’s possible with my music, giving me the ability to reach my full potential. He consistently encourages and motivates me to creatively express myself via my music, which has allowed me to develop my own unique style and identity. My husband, Rynellton, bears a musical resemblance to Prince due to his multifaceted nature and exceptional ability to excel in any music genre he attempts as well.
Did your style evolve since at the beginning of your career?
With each song I create and release, I am always evolving and improving. I always strive for growth. I am committed to continuously growing and developing my artistry throughout my lifetime.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
I am constantly striving to outdo my own achievements! The journey I’ve taken in music is unique, just like the journeys of other artists. They have their own music, and I have mine. Being authentic is all I need to do to succeed.
What are your interests outside of music?
After music, horses are my second love. Since I was a little child, I’ve been riding horses, and I must say, they are among God’s most beautiful creations. I adore being in their company. In the end, I’m just a rural girl. Unfortunately, my health conditions confine me to my home at times, which can be tough. Honestly, though, I’m very laid-back and appreciate life for its true essence: spending time with the people I love, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime, and generally embracing the present moment.
And when my health permits it, I also enjoy travelling and am not afraid to face new adventures. This magnificent earth that God made for humanity is something I am grateful for, and I want to go travelling around the world with my husband one day. We both love adventure.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
Without a doubt, I would be involved with music or some other endeavour associated with the entertainment industry. Nothing else matters to me; this is my life’s purpose.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in your journey of music?
Throughout my music career, I have had personal heartbreaks. However, my primary focus is on the present moment and spreading positivity whenever I can.
If you could change one thing about the music industry, what would it be?
For more artists to embrace their genuine and honest selves without fear.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
The title of my song, “I Struck Gold With You,” symbolises finding profound happiness and success in love. The song’s central theme revolves around finding someone who cherishes and values your true self. Discovering the perfect companion and cultivating a deep admiration for their beautiful soul. The experience of love and its return are the most valuable treasures. I wrote this for my gorgeous, loving husband, Rynellton, my soulmate. But I also wrote it for my fans and supporters around the world who have stuck by me as an independent singer-songwriter. For me personally, there are also parts of the song that are a love letter to God, thanking him for loving me unconditionally and blessing me with my husband, loved ones, and the musical gifts in me.
What are your plans for the coming months?
Admittedly, I am currently facing significant health challenges. However, I maintain a positive mindset and rely on prayer. Despite this, I am determined to proceed with the remaining recording sessions for my second album, titled “Free-Spirited.” Additionally, I plan to release additional singles before revealing the complete album later this year. I still have plans to travel to the United States later this year for a few months to shoot music videos and perform.
Currently, I am undergoing medical examinations at the hospital and approaching each day with an open-minded attitude. If anyone who reads this interview would like to pray for me, I would be so grateful. I definitely want to get well and give you the best of me. And I can’t wait to share my future music releases with you all.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
Yes, I’ve been in touch with some connections about the possibility of making it happen.
What message would you like to give to your fans?
I want my fans to know that I appreciate and adore them so much. I cried when my music video for “I Struck Gold With You” got over a million views in just one month. Honestly, my husband, Rynellton, and I were waiting up late together as it got closer to reaching a million. We were so moved by how quickly people loved our song. I have to be honest and say that I was nervous when our music video came out on VEVO.
I was still dealing with repeated kidney problems when I shot the video, and I had to take strong medications for pain to get through it. We filmed it in our living room because I wasn’t well enough to go anywhere else. I had to use a selfie stick to record the video, which was interesting! LOL…
After I finished editing the video, I started having all these thoughts in my mind, like, What will people think of the video? How would people respond to something as simple as me singing in my husband’s ear? It’s amazing that it now has almost 1.1 million views. I hope that my journey as an independent singer-songwriter and my battle with health issues inspire others with their own hopes and dreams to persevere and never give up.
To continue striving to find a way even when things appear to not be favourable, but to keep believing that anything is possible. I want my fans to know that I love them so very much; they are like family to me, and I want them to always believe they can be and do anything. All they have to do is keep trying and not give up. I express gratitude to God for enabling me to accomplish all my accomplishments despite facing significant challenges.
Painted Friends' Latest Track: A Heartwarming Musical Hug
Painted Friends’ latest track, “My Heart, Your Love,” is like a comforting hug in the form of music. It’s the kind of track that commands you to hold your partner and step into your living room and dance together.
What I love about this song is how it makes ordinary moments of love so special. It launches with the guitar setting the proper tune before the song kicks in to a beat that you can’t avoid nodding your head to.And those vocals? They’re as warm as a comfy blanket on a cold day, just snuggling you up in a big hug of feels.
These dudes really know how to do business. This fine tuned every small detail to make the song a real treasure. “My Heart, Your Love” is a song about love and the importance of being grateful for our loved ones. Thus, if you are feeling low and need something to cheer you up, do not hesitate to give it a listen. I assure you that you will have a wonderful time.
Dive into Atlin Morgan's Sonic Quilt: "Can't Let Go"
Imagine stumbling through a thrift shop of sounds, where Ella Fitzgerald’s ghost sips tea with Björk and Thom Yorke plays chess with Cecelia Bartoli, under the flickering fluorescent light that is Atlin Morgan’s mind. Her jazzy art-pop offering, “Can’t Let Go,” feels like wading through a sonic labyrinth fashioned from the boughs of broken heartstrings.
Within this home-brewed concoction recorded in North Vancouver’s most intimate corners—a moody jazz pop embraces classical flirtation like estranged lovers reunited by serendipity. One can envision darkened stage curtains absorbing her cathartic confessions about love lost but never fully released.
You’re served a melodic feast as lush female vocals pirouette over piano keys which seem to whisper secrets back and forth—all dressed in layered harmonies reminiscent of musical theatre soliloquies performed for an audience of one.
Dive into Atlin Morgan’s Sonic Quilt: “Can’t Let Go”
Atlin doesn’t just wear her influences on her sleeve; she weaves them into a quilt so diverse it could only be likened to a weathered map charting the peaks and valleys of human emotion—traversing everything from melancholic folk tales to rebellious rock anthems without missing a beat. It’s as though Lady Grey herself has spun shadows into sound before our very ears.
There’s something quixotically comforting about “Can’t Let Go.” Perhaps it’s how each element promises empathy rather than resolution or how its sinuous melodies manage to simultaneously lull yet invigorate your soul—it’s difficult not to feel profoundly understood within its embrace.
In essence, Atlin Morgan does more than sing songs—she conjures experiences ripe with emotional heft wrapped up neatly in jazzy pop bow ties dyed in classical hues. With this record, she doesn’t just invite you to listen—she dares you to feel.
In the spiraling maelstrom of Archeons’ latest cacophony, “Ballet Afterlife,” heavy strings court the eternal waltz between darkness and light. It’s as if a 2000s rock prom met at the crossroads to dance with Beelzebub himself, shrouded in a djent-metalcore tuxedo.
The guitarists Trey Swain and Krys Escobar intertwine their riffs like star-crossed lovers — edgy, complex, but with an urgency that belies little more than whispers of love lingering beyond one’s mortal coil. Chris Huff’s vocals traverse this underworldly saga with gusto; he croons, he growls, paying homage to each tortured soul within their Danse Macabre-inspired narrative.
Ryan Sebold on drums is literally beating back demons – or so it seems when you close your eyes and let his rhythms possess your feet. The narrative might be twisted—a love note inked in blood for an infernal rendezvous—but “Ballet Afterlife” spins you around so fast, by the time dawn lights up those musical horrors are bathed in an afterglow akin to tragic romance rather than frightful farewells.
As guitars duel in a climactic solo that could slice through purgatory itself, listeners find themselves rooting for love in hellfire’s embrace – nodding heads both out of rhythm appreciation and disbelief grappling with choices made at destiny’s fork. With melodies exhuming pacts better left unmade and echoes showing metal can have heart (even one throbbing from beneath the floorboards), Archeons remind us there’s beauty even where shadows loom largest – somewhere between life & death nether-neath our daily strife-torn lives lies…a ballet?
“Ballet Afterlife” is not just music: it’s a timeless travelogue scripted across sonic ley lines—mapping visceral emotion onto technical prowess—and daring its audience to follow along or forsake understanding completely amidst its relentless drive towards daybreak dissonance.
Inett’s latest EP “Yumeko Jabami” is a kaleidoscopic tumble down the sonic rabbit hole. With its production roots in a home studio, it thrives on an intimacy that often feels like surreptitiously reading someone else’s diary—in space.
The opening track immediately tosses you into the deep end of this experimental hip-hop odyssey. It slinks around your psyche, much like Yumeko herself (anime reference)—you can almost hear the dice roll between beats and verses—each breakbeat a leap of faith, each rhyme whispering risk.
Across five tracks, Inett blurs lines as adeptly as they swap hats; from musician to actor to brand ambassador—the quintessential jack-of-all-trades in entertainment Vegas. The ethos screams life’s gamble while plunging into melodies that echo with cosmic dissonance yet somehow find harmony amid chaos.
The Eclectic World of Inett’s “Yumeko Jabami” EP
Listen for echoes of Childish Gambino’s wordplay dancing with Travis Scott’s autotuned phantasms—that woozy feeling just before taking a fateful card flip or roulette spin. This isn’t just music; it’s an auditory game of Russian roulette where blissful escapism meets unadulterated anticipation.
In all its brevity, “Yumeko Jabami” packs more punch than a heavyweight contender in zero gravity—it floats light but hits hard—a paradox as entertainingly perplexing as attending a lunar luncheon where Bowie is serving up stardust soup with Nietzsche discussing chance vs necessity at every sip and slurp.
Spin those headphones right ’round for this one—you’re not just listening to tracks; you’re gambling sensory chips on red and black soundscapes wagered by earfuls!
Brace Yourself for Sickrecy's "Split With Barren" EP
Imagine a cacophony of enraged bees storming a political debate, armed with electric guitars and drumsticks—that is Sickrecy’s “Split With Barren”. It buzzes through the airwaves like an urgent news bulletin from a dystopian hellscape, all while beckoning listeners to mosh as if their civil liberties depended on it.
Adde Mitroulis roars into the void as though channeling both town crier and rebel leader; strident calls for attention amidst the relentless shredding by guitar duo Marcus Dahl and Tobbe Ander. Isac Nordgren Jonasson, gripping his bass like a sledgehammer dismantling autocracy brick by brutal brick, syncs impeccably with Martin Eriksson’s furious percussive rally.
This EP isn’t content sitting silently in Sweden’s progressive corner—it thrashes about furiously in your ears, an auditory manifestation of protests against rising tyranny. Grindcore fans might liken this explosion to Napalm Death meeting The Dillinger Escape Plan at Noam Chomsky’s lecture—educational yet visceral.
Brace Yourself for Sickrecy’s “Split With Barren” EP
“First World Anxiety” seemed just the preamble for “Salvation Through Tyranny,” but here Sickrecy etches sonic chronicles that could incite not only pits but perhaps policy change. With production that polishes without sanitizing—the grit is essential after all—and riffs indeed embed themselves like shrapnel in memory.
To say they play grindcore “that matters” may sound grandiose until you hit play; suddenly it feels less hyperbole and more understatement. This record doesn’t merely create sparks – it lights Molotov cocktails with riffs so sick they should carry health warnings.
Brace Yourself for Sickrecy’s “Split With Barren” EP
Listening through vinyl master studio Riot’s treatment ensures no nuance of rebellion gets lost—each scream, riff, and beat delivers full-force impact even on wax. As William Blackmon tames ferocity at Overlook mix mastering station—anarchy finds order long enough to infiltrate willing eardrums effectively.
In essence: Sickrecy delivers audible fury wrapped tightly around critical commentary—a juggernaut grinding over complacency leaving behind fertile ground for discourse (and whiplash). Not since pamphlets thrown covertly in market squares has revolutionary sentiment been quite so … danceable?
"Love Forever Good": Ed Geater's Synthesized Symphony
Splashing into the ever-evolving stream of music, Ed Geater’s latest droplet “Love Forever Good” ripples with an honesty that could turn fish into songbirds. A romantic ballad hewn from the digital ether of ambient electronica, this track is a cotton candy cloud on a beat-driven sky—stripped back to reveal a heart that beats not in bass drops but in piano keys.
Imagine if you will, an alchemist who fed Sigur Rós and Imogen Heap into a delicate binary blender; out would pour the essence that Geater and collaborator-turned-muse Jayce have distilled here. Their voices interweave like lovesick vines in an Edenic virtual garden where pixelated butterflies keep time to their breaths—a synthetic Narnia birthed through careful mastering by Henry Watkins’ keen ear at Studio28 Bangkok.
“Love Forever Good”: Ed Geater’s Synthesized Symphony
The “Love Forever Good” pulls at one’s synapses as it captures what feels like falling headfirst into love—pure and sprightly giddy traces, kissing your ears like first light kisses dew-covered grass. It’s as though we’ve caught Geater midway through his metamorphosis from rhythm-reliant caterpillar to mellifluous butterfly. This curious pivot takes us from previous robust rhythms to embracing vulnerability enshrined within melodies carried by soft male and female vocals swaying earnestly together under Jayce’s harmonious influence.
“Love Forever Good”: Ed Geater’s Synthesized Symphony
In conceptualizing this tune during a sultry scene set in Thailand’s canopy of creativity—the realness bleeds palpably throughout the seamless electronic waves encasing listener hearts nocturnally. The future buds promisingly for these artists: An EP titled “Bloom,” looms on the horizon—a potential testament to growth and flourishing artistry amid chaos.
So let us wanderlust between constellations of sound with Ed Geater’s resonating transition; “Love Forever Good” stands as both anthem and prelude so pleasingly perplex that it nudges curiosity about how deep this rabbit hole—or should I say rabbit warren of sweet soundscapes—truly goes. And once Bloom unfurls its petals later this year? Well dear reader-listener hybrids—we’ll see just how far down those beats go back or forward in time as Ed continues charting his auditory odyssey across our star-hungry souls.
In the swirling synth-laden dreamscape of Joanna Adamiak’s “Scenario,” listeners pirouette through a neon-tinged labyrinth of love’s what-ifs and never-agains. At times feeling like a deep dive into an ’80s video game where every level is lavishly textured with pixelated heartbreak, each beat drips with retrospection as if the Pet Shop Boys were wistfully looking back through Love’s rearview mirror.
“Scenario” plays out like your favorite indie movie scene—the one that gets paused and rewound because it distills emotion in ways words stumble to express. Adamiak doesn’t just sing; she weaves her vocals through synthesizers with an alchemist’s precision, transmuting solitude into sonic gold à la Florence Welch running a software update from Kraftwerk.
Amidst minimalist production reminiscent of early Grimes, punctuated by homages to the ethereal edge of Kate Bush, this track feels somehow haunted—echoes bouncing off walls once painted in pulsating strobes. It urges you not to fall prey again to those treacherous emotional loop-de-loops but rather be the phoenix rising from expiry-date-stamped romances.
“Scenario”: Joanna Adamiak’s Electro-Pop Origami
It’s less about breaking patterns than bending them—into origami swans that float away on electro-pop currents. Fans will sift through “Scenario,” finding fingerprints smudged with hope amidst advice served cooler than Berlin in February post-breakup recollections.
Blink and you’ll miss its genius—a whispered revolution against well-trodden paths wrapped up in a catchy hook sharp enough to pin down cloud nine. For casual hipsters or critics draped in cynicism alike, Joanna spins sheer relatability into tracks as reassuring as your old leather jacket—an armor against repetition encased in velvet melodies preparing us for whatever deeply personal second album may come next from Warsaw’s electro-enchantress-in-residence.
Breaking Boundaries: Nadine Makalew's Eclectic Blend of Genres
Welcome to the private chat with the gifted artist and writer, Nadine Makalew. And it comes as no surprise that the stage name Nadine is the embodiment of her true self. Her original blend of RnB beats, pop melodies and soulful vocals has helped her make waves in the music scene.

Music was a haven for Nadine since her childhood, being a source of comfort and a way to express herself, in spite of speech difficulties. Moved by the example of her family, particularly by the affirmation and the love of her father, her music depicts the themes of survival and resilience. As an indie artist, she has to deal with the industry’s challenges, yet she stays true to her goal of making music that touches a chord with her fans.

Where do you find inspiration? I mostly find inspiration when I am going somewhere. It doesn’t have to be during the holiday but even for small examples like on a motorbike, sitting on a car. Generally, just something related to movement
What was the role of music in the early years of your life? I think it changed my life. When I was a kid, I got a speech delay and music is saving me from that. Since that it never really stopped.
Without music I don’t think I’d take a risk to go to Europe, where I spent abroad for several years. It’s just Ive been clinging with music too much
Are you from a musical or artistic family? Yes and no. My sisters and brother really love music. So does our parent. Besides me none of us really doing music professionally.

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? Actually dad is the one who supports me the most and often watching me perform since I was a kid even until now
How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I sang before I was able to speak eventually, but i started to play piano when I was three years old. Since then it never stopped so eventually I joined many music activities at school, choir church and band. Later in teenage years i learned write a song by myself without any basics from 13 in my native language and from 18 I started to write in English.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? International band that i watched for the first time i think it’s secondhand serenade. I just loved rock music back then. There weren’t many international singers performed at our hometown so we just happened to be lick to be there.
How could you describe your music? My music is really a mixture of everything. Although the main genre is pop but I just love to put a glimpse of other genres such as R&B, Soul, Rock and other genres
Although the main genre is pop but I just love to put a glimpse of other genres such as R&B, Soul, Rock and other genres
Describe your creative process. I always write my music from piano. Thats where I start with everything. Actually I don’t really have a solid formula what and where do I start. But I know I always like repetitive pattern. So the pattern is like the beginning of the songwriting. The pattern can be from the harmonies, lyrics, melodies etc. From there you develop the instrumentations, sounds until you reach to the most important aspect: the vocal.
What is your main inspiration? My inspiration is always about survival, trivial and struggle. I think from the survival and struggle experiences that I went through, I always able to interpret through the music. And I can share my personal experiences to the universal.
What musician do you admire most and why? My taste has been changing for too many times. I just like someone who can sing and play groovy. I admire Tori Kelly so much ! Demi Lovato is definitely on the list as well. Recently I like Raye so much! For a pianist I’d say I like Hiromi the most! Hard to say one
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? Definitely. The way i write, sing, arrange and produce has been changed a lot. More references, more experiences had evolved me in my musical experiences. I can slowly identify myself who I really am as a musician
Who do you see as your main competitor? It’s a tough question but even my boyfriend who happened to be a musician is my definitely my contender. Please check Jims Wong ! He’s amazing btw !
What are your interests outside of music? I love to cook and dancing so much! Travelling is definitely one of the activity that I like the most.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing? I think I will be in a restaurant business or I become a content creator making for cooking show or anything else.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Financial situation for sure! You have rent to pay while you still need to make a living from music. And the road is very long to reach to the point where I can pay myself from the music that I make
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? I think if I can change one thing that would be the work environment. It is still being under appreciated especially this industry for women.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? The other side is one of the songs that I like the most. Sometimes you feel uncertain with your own writing. But this time it feels very natural and the fact that it genuinely coming from your experiences and transfer it into the song. It’s just incredible
What are your plans for the coming months? I will release another single and in the middle of the year the album will be released. Don’t miss it!
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans In the future I will be for sure. For the upcoming music I have collaboration with the musicians not the other artists yet. But on my previous songs I did have some of it 🙂
What message would you like to give to your fans? For an independent artist like me! Don’t give up with your dreams! Your story deserve to be sung into a song ! Keep dreaming!

Where do you find inspiration? It come in varies forms like the music I love to listen to, playing video game, watching films or even just going out for a walk or night time drive.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life? Music didnt really have a role in my early years, it wasn’t till I was a teenager that music really had an impact and role in my life.
Are you from a musical or artistic family? Other than my dad being a mobile DJ in the 70s and 80s I dont really come from a musical family.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? I like to think the artists I’ve listened to over the years like Daft Punk, deadmau5, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia & Hardwell (In that order) inspired me to make music but the moment happened when i saw Axwell /\ Ingrosso live at Creamfields; thats what pushed me to start making music.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I learned on my own by making mashups and remixes but watching tutorials on Youtube from big producers and channels specific to music production definitely helped me learn and I am still learning alot to this day as im progressing with my music which is good cause i believe there’s always something new to learn.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? The first ever concert I ever went to was Hardwell’s I Am Hardwell World Tour in Manchester at the Victoria Warehouse, I was a huge fan of his music when he became the number 1 DJ so seeing him live was an amazing experience.
How could you describe your music? I would currently describe my music as “Melodic / Progressive” as all the elements I use come from genres like Melodic Techno and Progressive House.
Describe your creative process. My creative process isn’t always the same, It can start with an idea for a drop, for a breakdown or from vocals ive heard and like which I then build a track around; ive never really had the same creative progress when making music.
What is your main inspiration? My inspiration in the early days of CHINSON was to make it big like the artists I love but as ive grown and made my music the inspiration has changed to wanting CHINSON to represent a feeling of emotion and to help, inspire and impact peoples lives. A quote from deadmau5 that stuck with me was “If you can impact just 1 person with your music it makes it all worthwhile”
A quote from deadmau5 that stuck with me was “If you can impact just 1 person with your music it makes it all worthwhile”
What musician do you admire most and why? Alot of musicians have inspired me over the years but right now there is a DJ / Producer called Aaron Hibell that is inspiring me the most right now because no producer has had such an impact on me emotionally then his music. Every track or snippet of music hes working on always hits me on an emotional level which I love and aspire to do with my own music.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? It definitely did! In the beginning I wanted to make EDM tracks like Big Room and Electric House which then turned into Deep House and Commercial House after I started DJing in commercial / mainstream nightclubs and bars in the UK and now my style has evolve to the Melodic / Progressive concept I have create for CHINSON.
Who do you see as your main competitor? I dont have one, I see every DJ / Producer as an equal and ive always had the same feeling back whenever ive talked to one which is great.
What are your interests outside of music? I’m a big gamer with the Halo series being my favourite, I like football with Liverpool being the team I support, I love fashion with my favourite brands being Represent, Cole Buxton and Against All Odds and quite recently ive taken an interest into Formula 1.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing? Probably what im doing now which is working for my family business as a day job or maybe stick to being a commercial / mainstream DJ in the night life industry.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? Id say for me the biggest problem i’ve had is staying consistent with making music especially when you’re not feeling inspire or have “Producers Block”.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? I’ve honestly never thought about that so I dont know what i would change but thats probably for the best cause wanting to change something you can’t can be a distraction which is something want to avoid.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? The title for this project “Want You Now” came after I received the vocals form Karen Inder who did an amazing job! after listening to them I knew instantly what the title of the track was going to be.
What are your plans for the coming months? My plans are to finish more projects and hopefully get them released whether thats with a record label or independently and to do it consistently.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans I do have a few projects that im currently working on with more featuring artists which i hope to finish and release in the next few months.
What message would you like to give to your fans? Thank you for your continued support over the years, thats been the driving force behind my music and keep your eyes and ears open for whats coming next.
Harmony in Diversity: The Many Faces of Nathalie Bonin's Music
Nathalie Bonin, a professional musician and composer with great ability, is admired for her wonderful songs and her charming performances. She has a long time experience in making music and has experimented on different types of beats.
For Nathalie Bonin and Simone’s album “Taste of Light” the collaboration is nothing less than magic. Each song takes the listeners on a trip, that blends Nathalie’s inspiring works with Simone’s epic scores to make them experience the movie as if they were there.
A song named “Prestigious Emblem” stands out in the album which has received additional attention for being included in the trailer and marketing campaign for the coming season of the Netflix show BRIDGERTON.
The album has a total of 10 songs on it and each song has a wild feeling to it, I like the fact each song comes with a unique style. The inclusion of the magnificent Dinamika Ensemble, that has been conducted by the Grammy-winning violinist Nathalie Bonin, helps the song create a scenery full of refined and elegant elements of 19th century British way of life.
In this conversation, we’ll listen to Nathalie’s musical story, how she started learning classical pieces as a kid and now is able to experimenting with all kinds of sounds. We will uncover what drives her, how she managed to learn the art, and what her goals for the future are.
Is there a story behind your stage name? Not much haha!
Where do you find inspiration? In art, nature, meditation, beauty in general and the pure human nature of emotions.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
I started playing the violin when I was 4. My parents are music lovers and so we started every day by listening to Classical music. Music was definitely a large part of my childhood and I became very serious about it at a very young age, participating in National competitions and contests from the age of 8, to becoming a member of a the NY Youth Symphony Orchestra when I was 12 and starting to play professionally in orchestras and recording sessions by the age of 17.
Are you from a musical or artistic family? I am from a family of music lovers. My dad was a choir director earlier in his life but did not pursue in music. My mother played cello for a few years.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry? Initially my mom, by bringing me to that concert as a young child. Later, my mentors and friends that have believed in me throughout my career and have encouraged me to pursue my dream.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play? I had private teachers to learn violin, piano and singing and later I went on to study at McGill University in Montreal, Canada where I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Music Performance. After about 10 years, I got interested in composition and studied with Berklee Online where I got my Master’s Certificate in Composition for Film/TV
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform? The first concert I remember going to actually became the reason why I am playing today. My mother brought me to a violin school end-of-the-year concert and that is where I asked her if I could also play with them. Later, she took me to a concert with the violin virtuoso Yehudi Menuhin who became somewhat of an idol for many years as I was getting more serious in my music studies.
How could you describe your music? Rooted in classical yet always exploring new styles from jazz to pop, world and beyond. I am definitely an “Explorer” type and for me the most important is the story and the message I want to convey. I tend to infuse mystery and soul-stirring emotions in my melodies and other times more passionate and fierce bravoura J
Harmony in Diversity: The Many Faces of Nathalie Bonin’s Music
Describe your creative process. I usually start by meditating and stretching in the morning which helps clear my mind. Then, depending if I write to picture or not, I will either get into the mood of the story I need to score by watching it numerous times and improvising to it until I find a thread. If I write a piece for an album, I start by imagining the story I want to tell or the core emotion I want to convey. And then, again, it’s about finding that thread until it just “clicks”.
I feel it in my heart, and I know it’s right. Once I have the thread, it usually goes like a river flowing at least for part of the cue or piece I am writing. The important thing in the process for me is to be taken by the music I write. I need to be moved by it with some emotion. It may be tears, passion or joy but I need to convince myself. If I don’t, I keep searching or just start over. This is my way of knowing that what I write is authentic and I find that it usually resonates most with my audience.
What is your main inspiration? Nature and Love
What musician do you admire most and why? This is a tough one! I admire so many musicians and composers, it’s impossible to pick just one, but I’ll say that lately, I’ve really admired the career of Nathan Barr. Not only is he an incredible musician and composer but he is also an innovator, an educator, a creator and quite the entrepreneur having build the incredible Bandrika Studios to house the old Fox Studio Wurlitzer organ he recovered and restored. His passion for music, sound and storytelling is so inspiring!
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career? OMG!! Haha!! I feel like I never stop exploring! This has been actually the most interesting side of my career but also the most challenging as people find it sometimes hard to figure out who I am as an artist. I’ve finally come to peace with it by defining myself as an explorer and a creator.
So, I initially started with classical music up to a top professional level, then I went on a journey of exploration through world music performing with a tango ensemble, a Moroccan band and a jazz fusion trio “à la Jean-Luc Ponty/Mahavishnu”, I rocked the stage with Metal bands playing electric violin, performed at the JALC with Wynton Marsalis and Ted Nash, performed, recorded or toured the world with pop stars like Stevie Wonder, Charles Aznavour, YES and Chance the Rapper, composed numerous soundtracks from romantic to horror films and even created my own aerial violin act that I performed for 12 years(!).
How did my style evolve through all that? I think my music today is impregnated by all these flavors of culture and styles and it makes my sound what it is today. The sound of an explorer J
Who do you see as your main competitor? I have to split this question according to the hats I wear, but on the performance side, I’d say between Lucia Micarelli/Lindsey Stirling/Anne Akiko Mayer while on the composing side, I’d say Rupert Gregson-Williams, Rachel Portman or Alexandre Desplat.
What are your interests outside of music? I love biking, hiking, good food and going out with friends
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing? Nothing else! Seriously, I would not be in music if I thought I could do anything else. No plan B as Hans Zimmer says haha!
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music? The fact that musicians are given such a small portion of the pie especially since the advent of streaming while the big corporations actually make billions from the art we create. It is a very unfair and hardly sustainable system.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be? Give back more to the creatives. They are the soil and seeds of all that blooms in the industry. Without creatives, the corporations would not make money. Also, I believe in the new blockchain technology and its potential to pay artists their royalties and residuals instantly for their plays or synch licenses (not 1-3 years later which is usually the case at the moment)
Why did you choose this as the title of this project? I think we are all in search for more light in our hearts and our lives. This album will hopefully give the listeners a Taste of Light.
What are your plans for the coming months? I am working on another project right now with Radhika Vekaria, a wonderful Indian British Singer. This Indian infused cinematic album will be recorded later this summer in Europe.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans Yes, Simone Benyacar and I have continued working on new pieces together; I am finishing the album with Radhika and I have other projects for immersive performances in the next year…
What message would you like to give to your fans? I am very excited to share this new album with you and I hope it resonates in ways that will light up your imagination and stir deep emotions.
Juliana MacDowell Pours Her Heart Out On 'Big Old Yellow Moon'
The record kicks off with a heart-wrenching line, “I never thought I would live without you,” which immediately paves the way for the next one, the long awaited album of singer-songwriter Julianna MacDowell. The way MacDowell sings, it is evitable that she puts all that she has into her music, her lyrics are something you can connect with, so are her tunes which are both gentle and emotional.
“Big Old Yellow Moon” album by MacDowell brilliantly demonstrates her ability to write country-pop songs with the classic old flavor which would still sound original today. Whether harmoniously mixed soulful ballads or vivaciously loud country-pop anthems, each song in this album carries an underlying charm and attraction of the artist.
“Big Old Yellow Moon” album by MacDowell brilliantly demonstrates her ability to write country-pop songs with the classic old flavor which would still sound original today.
The title song with all its musicianship sprawls as an apt representation of MacDowell’s artistry. With well-crafted melodies and a story of finding yourself after breakup- the song brings out emotions and boost the viewer. MacDowell’s intense singing and the song’s distinctive harmony, in turn, give birth to a cozy sonority that one fidgets over.
Introducing Ellery Twining: A Musician Crafting Sonic Narratives
Ellery Twining, among the countless maestros, stands out in a unique fashion in the music scene. This multi-talented artist has made his own road with an iron will that led to the emergence of artistic sincerity-a characteristic that is dearly cherished of these fans and critics all around.
The singer’s musical career began with the intimate album “REVENGE,” but he has already been through the transformation of his whole style. Lately, he dropped an album,” RESULTS” which is not just a compilation of new songs but an audiovisual fabric that has got to do with the narrative established in his debut album. Not only is this album remarkable, but also what really makes it remarkable is that Twining plays every instrument himself and writes all the lyrics by himself, giving it a unique sound that no one else can possibly make.
The song “S.B. Butler” is also worthy of note, accompanied by a powerful music video full of visuals describing Twining’s adventures in the soundscapes of post-pop. Directed by the photographer Michelle from Mystic, CT the video does a detailed piece on meshing together pictures and story that evokes with nostalgic feeling and self-reflection. Filmed in Mystic CT and with model Carly Straub, the video essentializes the song.
In our featured session, Twining reveals to us his artistic process, sources of inspiration, and future goals. Since the early days of music to now, he is able to reveal the process of understanding and developing his own style.
Come with us as we discover the world of Ellery Twining- an artist breaking rules and offering his fans a trip along the path of self-exploration through his music.
Yes. I’m not a big fan of my given name, certainly not as a musician. There was a guy in Mystic when I was a kid who had a mastless sailboat docked next to the drawbridge. Year after year he was there, but no mast was ever raised. I think his name was Charles Thompson, but he had a brother, who was a painter, and occasionally Ellery Thompson would show a few paintings on the deck of his brothers’ boat, complete with sign ELLERY THOMPSON PAINTER. I loved that name, Ellery, even as a kid. When I started to do social media, I decided to use Ellery Twining so I would have a layer of anonymity. Years later when I began to write songs as a solo act, the name was already set up for me.
Where do you find inspiration?
“I have a million ideas that I ain’t even rocked yet.”
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
I was lucky enough to be a kid in the 1970s, and I had no idea disco was “uncool” or that anything WAS anything. There was so much good music on the AM radio, and then the explosion of FM in the late 70s, I was surrounded by music. Great music. But I was setting up pots and pans as early as 4 years old banging away with wooden spoons in the kitchen of my parents home.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
HA! Not at all. I used to think I was mixed up with some other kid at the maternity ward. I do have a kind of funny story about that. I work at Mystic Disc, one of the great American record stores. Every once in a while I get a shy customer who is afraid they are not going to look “cool” in the record store if they ask me a certain question. I always tell them how my parents had no taste in music, but my mother had a bunch of Barry Manilow records. And of course I listened to them incessantly. No one can surmise what music affected you in what way at a certain period of your life.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
Seeing The Police live in 1983 at the height of their powers.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I don’t really sing, so I am not going to claim that, but I did perform extensively on the spoken word poetry scene in the 1990s. So, what I tried to do was use the syntax of spoken word, and utilize that method to combine the height of the lyric within the proper moment of the song. I basically taught myself how to play the drum set. At first I would bang out vocal melodies on the toms, and gradually figured out how to layer and combine the cymbals and the drums and pace.
But where I truly became a drummer was playing snare drum in the marching band during high school. The drum section had 15 additional hours of practice outside of the band practices. It was rigorous and challenging, and you also could not make a mistake. That is where I understood musical discipline.
As far as guitar goes, I was in an electro rock band for 5 years in the mid -90s, and I taught myself how to play simply by playing every day and forcing myself to get better at it. When that band ended, I didn’t pick up the guitar for another 24 years. And I had to basically start from scratch.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
The Police in Hartford, CT August 13 1983. REM actually opened the show but no one had ever heard of them before, so I was secretly praying they would be over in at least a half hour.
How could you describe your music?
Post Pop. What I am trying to do is write without using conventional ABACAB arrangement. I have no choruses in my songs, no verses, and no solos. When I begin to write a song, I want to find four chords, or “figures” that can all revolve around each other melodically. Then, I find another group of four voicings. Then a third set, and often a fourth set. Once I feel I have four “movements” that all relate to each other, I arrange them so the song unfurls like a train of thought, or a novel/narrative.
Describe your creative process.
When I am working on songs, what I do to begin is come up with nine lyric ideas- a song about the neighborhood fire, for example, and then I will write the entire lyric before I have any music. I will write the entire album full of lyrics before I write a note of music. Once I have nine musical ideas arranged, I match the lyric to the music that matches the intensity or integrity. At that point, I weave the spoken word lyric around the rhythm of the beat, matching emotional levels accordingly.
What is your main inspiration?
Mystic, Connecticut and my desire to let people know they can do it if I can do it.
What musician do you admire most and why?
Prince, for obvious reasons. Now, as a kid, we had no idea Stevie Wonder had already achieved what Prince was achieving, because Stevie was just another “singer” on AM radio.
Now, as a kid, we had no idea Stevie Wonder had already achieved what Prince was achieving, because Stevie was just another “singer” on AM radio.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
As Ellery Twining, yes. My first record REVENGE was fairly stripped down, partly because I wanted to keep things under control, and partly because I didn’t want to take a long time in the recording process. On RESULTS I leaned more into my intuition about how to mix and match frequencies and create more dimension in the music.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
One of my biggest weaknesses as a young musician is that I brought my athletic background into the music scene, where success was not only being great but beating everyone else. It did not serve me well. I have a pretty funny story about how I think I got my first band banned from New Haven CT clubs because I ripped a local band in an interview. Whoopsie…
What are your interests outside of music?
I have built extensive gardens at our house that I enjoy watching reveal the seasons.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
I would be running a fastpitch professional Whiffleball league.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
I have an interesting story about that. In 2012 I was asked to play drums in a new band found by a bunch of kids twenty years younger than me who hung out at the Mystic Disc. I hadn’t played a live gig in 7 years, but I agreed to become the drummer. And the manager ,and the roadie, and the booking agent…
Our first out of town show is in New Haven at an all ages club whose owners I sort of knew through the years in the “scence.” We had a good bunch of kids travel down from Mystic, we probably played to 80 people. I was so excited by the response, I didn’t even think about getting paid, just getting everyone and all the equipment back to Mystic. The next day I realized I didn’t ask for money, so I emailed the club and asked if there was something we could work out. I’ll never forget that response email:
“ You did not make prior arrangements for payment.”
And these guys knew me! There was only one conclusion: I had forgotten it was The Music Business. Now magnify by 100.
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
What we really need is a reinvention of the Indie Label / Touring circuit that Michael Azzerod so succinctly describes in his book “ Our Band Could Be Your Life”.I have always felt that the thing that weighed the most on Cobain’s mind is that he knew that the success of Nirvana had destroyed that ecosystem, that culture that allowed a band like REM five albums to hone their craft before signing to a major label. That was all gone in an instant when Nevermind was released.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
I named my first record REVENGE because I was getting some for all the musician’s I worked with before who left me holding the bag. RESULTS is the name of a collaboration LP between the Pet Shop Boys and Liza Minelli, and it is easily one of most cherished records. So, by actually following up REVENGE itself was RESULTS.
What are your plans for the coming months?
My plan is to record the third Ellery Twining album by mid-September at Dirt Floor Studios with Eric Lichter.
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
I’m currently recording a new single with my electro rock band from the 1990s Delta of Venus. We are looking at an early June release.
Ghanaian/French singer and songwriter Tee Kae has just dropped her latest single titled “My Last.” This poignant song is Tee Kae’s fourth release since the beginning of her career in 2023.
My last tells a story of a toxic relationship that takes away the energy, mind and soul of the victim. Love can sometimes numb the pain of being manipulated and you keep asking yourself if you’re the blame or not and how leaving will affect both the individual and yourself. But Hey! Your mental health comes first before anyone so you have to draw the line when the person you once loved is the same person you hate more than anything Love is really a losing gain!
Madeleine Badu, also known as Tee Kae, discovered her passion for music at a young age through singing in and leading her church music group. Influenced by iconic artists such as Alicia Keys and H.E.R, Tee Kae embarked on a journey to create her unique sound, combining Afro-R&B/Soul, Indie vocals, and a hint of Trap with Alté rhythms. Her music effortlessly blends her native languages with French, resulting in an exceptional fusion that sets her apart as a versatile artiste within the Alté genre.
Tee Kae fearlessly experiments with genres, drawing inspiration from diverse musical backgrounds. Her artistic versatility shines through as she continuously pushes the boundaries of her music, captivating listeners with every release. Starting with promising acoustic covers of popular songs, Tee Kae showcased her exceptional vocal abilities and musical finesse. After a transformative year of introspection and growth, she emerged with a renewed artistic direction.
As an Alté artiste, Tee Kae is at the forefront of redefining contemporary African music. She seamlessly blends cultural influences with global sounds, creating a fresh and captivating musical experience. Tee Kae’s passion for storytelling through music, combined with her unrivaled vocal prowess, positions her as an artist to watch in the industry.

Hey, did you get a chance to listen to the new track “In the Vein” from FARI yet? This Zimbabwe-trained and Brighton-based artist is introducing some seriously smooth neo-soul/R&B vibes that are completely addictive
Yet, despite the smooth beat of the song, the lyrics dive deep into the complexities of life and the persistence of those hard-hitting, heavy emotions of sadness. FARI is exceptional at how she lays down the fast beats and the flavors of beatboxing. They symbolize the strength and variety of life.
The atmosphere of the whole song is an outstanding interlacing of styles and ambience. Both the rich guitar licks and moody string twirling amazingly well with FARI’s sensual voice and the sweet bass. It’s a sonic odyssey which will thrill you from beginning to end.
I think that what makes this song so great is that despite the fact that FARI experiments with her own sound, she remains so true to herself as an artist. In “In the Vein,” we see a strong character and clear emotions. It’s the kind of jam that will have you humming along, even when the song is over. Trust me!
Trust me, FARI belongs on the A-list of up-and-coming artists. “In the Vein” is a very serious musical success which will definitely consolidate the position of new, original artist of neo-soul genre. Favor yourself and make this single your new favorite ASAP!It’s pure audio bliss.
In a recent interview with Mister Styx of musicarenagh the multi-talented artist has more to say about herself and her music
Is there a story behind your stage name?
I was born with it- my full name is Fariraishe (Zimbabwean)- all my mates call me Fari so i thought that it was a great stage name.
Where do you find inspiration?
My family and my experiences.My mental health and my frustrations with the music industry, religion and my jealousy with my peers. I find it from books and stories my parents tell me. I write from different perspectives of the same situation. When you’re as dramatic as me- the world is a wealth of inspiration.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
My family is very musical, my dad plays bass my mother is an amazing writer and me and my sister grew up singing and writing together. The first time I performed live was with her.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
My parents. They encouraged me to drop out of my original degree and do something I’ve loved doing all my life. They still push me to continue making music even when it feels like I should stop altogether.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
Everything I do is self-taught (my dad was adamant about that). In most of my songs, I just feel out. I know chords and timings at a very basic level, but nothing is concrete and I couldn’t take a test.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
Honne 2017. I was never allowed to go to concerts (despite my family being all for music) so I snuck out with my BF at the time and had the best night. At the time Honne was barely filling a room- it was like a private concert just for us.
How could you describe your music?
Honest. I hate beating around the bush. I really don’t write unless I want to and I don’t release unless I feel like I’ve said what I need to say.
Describe your creative process.
I take a very holistic approach to writing music and don’t really write unless I have something I want to say or release. Most of my songs start off with a hum or motif that I can’t get out of my head.
Other times, my producer George Campbell will have an idea and I take it home and begin that way.
I take a very holistic approach to writing music and don’t really write unless I have something I want to say or release.
What is your main inspiration?
My family. Family drama is so juicy and I find I write a lot from the perspective of my husband, my mum or my sister. I think a lot of my songs are about stuff I’ve gone through but I find it therapeutic to distance myself from my issues and mental health and just write what other people might be seeing.
What musician do you admire most and why?
Kimbra. I’ve been a fan of hers since ever. She writes in such a raw and honest way that it speaks to me. I could listen to a song she wrote at 16 and again now and it’ll mean something completely different. She creates such a beautiful world in each of her records, and it was a welcome escape when I was younger- I would love to have that impact on someone one day.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
Yes, I never thought Neo-Soul would be where I landed but it’s what comes out of me when I sit down to write. I want it to continue to change.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
Almost everyone. I am a huge cheerleader for every one of my friends anyone who is just starting out and anyone who releases. Maybe not so much competitor but co-workers going for the same promotion?
What are your interests outside of music?
I love knitting and crocheting. If I’m not writing I am sitting on my big green sofa, knitting a blanket.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
I would probably be a counsellor or something in the mental health field. I love talking to people and working through issues.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
Imposter Syndrome. I think that’s every artist’s biggest problem though…
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
I would love for the music industry to be less about who you know and how much money you have to market yourself and instead be about the talent and the person you are. There are so many hoops to jump through just to get in the room and it’s so difficult if you don’t have the right person talking you up.
If you don’t know what the industry is like (like me) it’s super difficult to navigate. Everything is just so mystified and secretive. I wish there was a foolproof plan.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
In this vein, I wrote during a really deep depressive episode. I have MDD, so these aren’t unusual. It’s deep but I feel that everyone can relate to feeling an emotion so intensely that you feel it in your bones, in your blood, in your veins. It’s all consuming and it feels like it’s eating you up from the inside. That’s what In the Vein is about, that intense loneliness you feel, specifically on that walk home after a night out.
What are your plans for the coming months?
Release, then gig, then Release then gig, then release then gig. Then maybe a little EP but thats just between you and me ….
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
What message would you like to give to your fans?
Welcome 🙂
Know More About Tate Sedar And His release "Find A Way"
TATE SEDAR, a generational talent who hails from Los Angeles, United States is out again with visuals for his release “Find A Way”. We had a few questions and answers with him. Below are exclusive details on TATE SEDAR and his new release.
Continue reading to learn more about this amazing artist.
What is your real name?
Tate Sedar
What’s your official Stage Name (showbiz name)?
TATE SEDAR
What do you do (fashion, music, comedy, artist, dancer, etc.)?
I’m a producer/DJ/songwriter.
How did you get into what you do (music, modelling, art, dance, etc.?)
Before my current career roles, I always wanted to sing. I was about 10 when my voice changed and I had to look at different musical outlets. I used to go to Apple Stores in the [San Francisco] Bay Area when I was 10 while my family shopped nearby. There, I discovered music production on GarageBand. Soon after, I discovered Daft Punk.
When I moved to London, I got my own MacBook at 11, loaded with GarageBand. I discovered Fatboy Slim & Justice in the UK and fully fell in love with electronic music. At 13, I learned to DJ at the Point Blank School of Music. I found my interest learning more towards electro house and started taking production seriously in 2010-11, during “the golden age of EDM.” I took classes in high school for production and focused my college degree & postgraduate years on advanced production & music business.
I also took a songwriting course at university led by Bob Halligan (written for Cher, KISS & Michael Bolton). I’ve been writing songs after his course for 6 years.
What field or genre are you into and give a brief description of what your career/profession/ field feels like?
I consider what I make a mix of electro house & dancepop. I meld different synths with analogue sounds like guitars, bells & keys – all under electro beats.
The barrier of entry into music production can be considered low now, but those that succeed put the hours in to advance their skills, stand out with their “sound” AND know how to market it. This mostly includes basic music theory & keyboard, composition, arrangement, sound design, recording, mixing, engineering and/or mastering. That can take years to get proficient in, depending on your own learning curve or personal/psychological obstacles. And unless you’re investing your savings or treating music like a job, people won’t look at it the same.
Who or what inspires you or motivates you? And why?
I’m inspired by messages in music. Electronic music, or more specifically house music, has never really had a unanimous message over the years. I look at artists from the 70s & 80s in rock, hip-hop & pop (one of my favourites being Michael Jackson) and use their thinking to challenge what message(s) I want my music to provide to others.
Know More About Tate Sedar And His release “Find A Way”
What was your first project and the people you worked with and which year?
A GarageBand project in the Apple Store, 2005, haha. I never got to take it home. I think after the third time I made a project in one of the stores, one good samaritan of an employee burned some projects on a CD. I’ll have to find that one day.
How many projects do you have so far?
I currently have 6 projects out on music distributors that are not Internet-based (i.e. Soundcloud, YouTube, etc). I have plenty more on the Internet-based ones and probably a hundred or so in total if you want to count all the ones that never got released (laughs).
How long have you been doing what you do?
I have been producing since I was 10, although my musical ambitions come from four.
What do you look out for in this line of business?
I look for people who value creativity over business but also see creativity as their livelihood and strive to make a living out of it. I would rather work with people that want to make a career out of music than not (i.e. just treat it as a hobby) because our goals usually align and they invest in their actions/decisions.
I also look out for (in this case, steer away from) people that take advantage of talents, generosity or finances. The music industry operates in “the grey” a lot, but you have to be thorough and keep a lookout for yourself. Some do not value skill, fair/ethical business as much as others. It’s easy to work with people who can overlook you, scam you, don’t deliver to expectations/as they promise or use you as a stepping stone into somewhere else. Use both your best foot & reasoning, get things in writing when you can and know your worth.
Have you won any awards or been nominated for an award? Or in short, any achievement? Both in and out of your career path.
I won a spot & performed on the EDC Virtual Rave-a-Thon lineup in 2020.
What is this new release about?
The new release focuses on my story (so far) and mental health in music. The track, in its structure, follows a similar journey to my own. It’s a rise, fall and get-back-up timeline that played out just like my past. I tried to juggle life with music, school and work, but then fell to the weight of it all and my own perfectionism and expectations. In 2020, I realised I had given up on trying to advance my skill set, kept working in old habits, and needed to break the cycle to move forward. This series of events is also shown in the music video I made with Chris Adams (shot for Insomniac Events & Golden Voice) and Eugene Luu (Armada Music and Pyro & Eclipse Records).
My past and this track touch on mental health. There are a lot of parts that go [specifically] into the producer career, in terms of education & processes. Everybody’s experience is different, but the process of mixing, engineering and mastering are dense in nature. I felt that my struggle with my own shortcomings became more evident at the time that big figures in dance music like Avicii & Pierce Fulton passed away. I started to take mental health seriously at 17, but it was only until after their deaths and in 2020 that I made serious changes in my life, ultimately bettering my psychological health. The whole project follows an active discourse on mental health care in the lives of creatives, especially for producers and those in the electronic music scene.

Who and how many people worked on it?
I created the whole track but can’t forget all the feedback I got from friends and colleagues, most notably from my unofficial musical aid, consultant & closest friend: Jeremy Joshua.
What can your previous and new audiences anticipate from you in the future?
Keep your ear out in the next 2 months for a remix. And further down the line, you can expect more original music of which I intend to get signed by labels!
Austin Willacy: Bringing Hope Through Music With 'Gonna Be Alright'
Welcome my music fam! Brace yourselves for the best energy that descends from Austin Willacy himself. This singers’s new EP titled “Gonna Be Alright” is just purely what we need right now which is motivating and truth be told uplifting songs to keep us happy always.
For the past twenty years, Willacy has been dropping pure musical magic and we are glad about that. He went from harmonizing with his dad on the recorder years ago to playing along with legends on huge stages, and his story could not be more of an epic. Not only that, but what I like most about his latest work is the authenticity and warmth to it.
Every tune on “Gonna Be Alright” brings as if it’s Willacy making the music with you, and making physical contact, you know what I mean. With their catchy tunes and powerful message, they invite you to take an amazing journey through self-love and resilience. It’s sort of an album you put on when you need a little reminder that, in spite of all the mess that is going on, in the end everything will be okay.
This interview showcases the man himself and the mind behind this musical ray of sunrays. We’re talking about creativity behind the songs, stories from the roads, and the whole idea. Strap in and let’s run to Willacy’s musical world all at once.
Whether you have been a loyal fan for long or just awakened to his sound, you must give “Gonna Be Alright” a try. This EP serves as a soundtrack for life with its heady beats and you’ll end up rejuvenated and ready to take on the world.Let’s dive in!
“Austin” is my first name. My parents called me “Keith”–my middle name–when I was growing up. I always loved my dad’s signature, and modeled mine after his, with a flamboyant “A” before my middle and last names. A lot of people asked me what the “A” stands for and asked if they could call me “Austin”.
I’ve always liked the name and always said “sure”. 90% of those people forgot and continued calling me “Keith”. One of the 10% happened to be the guy who introduced me onstage for a while. He introduced me by my full name, but people started calling me “Austin”, and I liked it.
Where do you find inspiration?
Sometimes I find inspiration in a word or a phrase. Sometimes I’m moved to write something I read about in the news or by a character in a book I’m reading or a movie I’ve seen. Sometimes I find it when I’m goofing around. Often, I find it when I’m playing guitar and make a compelling mistake. I’ll mess up and then be like “Ooh! That’s cool!”
Then, I just keep asking myself “What comes next?!” I try to follow that initial spark of creation as far as it lights the way. As I’ve gotten more into music production over the past few years I’ve started to find inspiration in beats and textures that tickle my imagination and make me wonder “What comes next?!”
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
My earliest musical memory is playing recorder duets with my dad. There was something incredibly sweet about that. I feel like I can still kinda remember the melody of my part–the higher part. After recorder, I took piano lessons for 5 years and played clarinet for a year and sax for 4 years before I quit. After a point, I fell out of love with the music my teacher was having me play. She wanted me to focus on more traditional music and I wanted to play songs I’d heard on the radio. I didn’t want to practice, and that was that. I never had that sweet, warm feeling I got from the recorder duet when I was playing anything else.
My parents listened to a lot of great music, Motown, Bill Withers, Earth, Wind & Fire, blues, and Stevie Wonder. There was always music playing in the car, and when we’d have family game nights. I heard different music at some of my friends’ houses and loved a lot of it. My ears were wide open.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Yes, and no. My mom loves theater and museums, and both of my parents love music. I grew up hearing them sing along with their favorite songs and seeing them dance at parties or when they loved the song that was playing. My dad even had a short-lived band in college, King Bee & the Yellowjackets. He was King Bee. They loved music and knew that knowing how to play and read music would help me be a better rounded person. I don’t think either one of them had any idea that I would fall in love with music so deeply.
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
There wasn’t any one person. I joined a band that had a lot of gigs. In the middle of one of our tours, we had a gig at The Bitter End in NY. Kenny Gorka was kind enough to let us know there would be some industry peeps in the house that night. We did a killer show and wound up the subject of a minor bidding war. We got signed to a major label and suddenly, I was in the music industry. I had spent zero time thinking about it before that all happened.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
Because I played instruments so young I feel like I’ve always been familiar with the architecture for some of the basics of pitch, rhythm, and harmony, but I didn’t study it when I was a kid. I’d officially quit making music the summer before 10th grade. But 2 years later, I got pressured into joining the school chorus by a girl I had a huge crush on.
I didn’t want to suck, so I sang a lot during the summer before senior year. In choir, I got put in an octet to sing a barbershop song and was completely floored by what was possible with just 8 voices and 4 parts. I went to college and got into an a cappella group that rehearsed 6-7 hours a week.
And suddenly, though I’d only been singing for a year and a half, my range grew rapidly and I started exploring my voice. I’ve never taken voice lessons, so I guess you could say I’m self-taught, however; I’ve spent a lot of time around very talented singers and tried to absorb as much as I could from them.
Every now and then, I’d be moved and I’d write a song, usually for my girlfriend, but I didn’t consider myself a songwriter.
I was inspired enough by my experience in the a cappella group that I took music theory so I could learn to arrange music for us to perform. It was here that I was able to concretize a lot of the stuff I’d been exposed to as a kid that I understood on an instinctual level.
I was inspired enough by my experience in the a cappella group that I took music theory so I could learn to arrange music for us to perform.
Singing in the a cappella group eventually led me to sing in bands. Because I wanted more agency, and more power in determining the repertoire, I started playing bass. I took 2 months of bass lessons in Cleveland and started writing a LOT when I went back to college. Suddenly, riffs and chord progressions and melodies and lyrics were just kinda flying out of me.
When I decided to take my writing seriously I dissected my lyrics and decided they were too literal and analytical and set about liberating my lyrics. I spent my lunch breaks working and reworking my lyrics and my evenings singing and playing bass for 2-5 hours.
Eventually, when I started touring in an a cappella group, I switched to acoustic guitar so I could have more harmonic information to work with in my writing, and because basses are heavy AF and I didn’t want to lug an amp, too. I’m self-taught on guitar, but I was lucky enough to spend a lot of time around some excellent acoustic guitar players who opened my mind to how much was possible.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I saw James Brown! He almost never stopped moving. He was a whirling dervish of funk and soul. He shrieked and keened and hollered and begged and testified and sweated and sweated and danced and danced and it was INCREDIBLE! Thanks Dad!
How could you describe your music?
I love a lot of different genres of music. Usually, the music that seems to want to come out of me blends rock, pop, blues, and soul. The messages I express in my music are often about empowerment, hope, dignity, self- acceptance, love, and interdependence. Sometimes I share interpersonal observations or offer broader cultural reflections. Depending on the nature of what I’m expressing, both lyrically and energetically, I’m drawn to lean more or less heavily into a genre and follow the inexorable pull as far as it takes me. As often as possible, I want my music to actively support whoever chooses to sing the lyrics.
Describe your creative process.
I try to start with whatever is pulling on my attention the hardest. Sometimes it’s a lyric or a lyric attached to a piece of a melody. Sometimes I’m playing guitar and a riff or a chord progression finds me. I do my best to keep listening to whatever wants to come. I love that feeling of being pulled and getting into a flow state. Time disappears and it’s just Yes/And…I follow that pull as far as it’ll take me. I’ve learned to honor the powerful singularity of that moment of genesis; I have to tune in to it in that moment or else I can almost never find it again, which can be incredibly disappointing. That moment is almost like a glowing power up in a video game that’s only active for a certain period of time. I always try to let each of my modes of expression inform each other, in real time. So, I may start with a lyric and then jump to a chord progression which leads me to a bassline which leads me to a drum groove which suddenly liberates a melody with more words. As I’ve gotten more into music production, I’ve been able to draw inspiration from a broader spectrum of sources. There are more voices I get to listen to in this “conversation.” (Laughs) And now I recognize how frickin’ weird all of this might sound. Oh well!
What is your main inspiration?
I draw a lot of inspiration from people in my life who I love deeply. Sometimes familial-ly, sometimes romantically, sometimes friends who’re going through something that inspire me to whom I want to offer extra support. I’m also inspired by the beauty and the ugliness of the times in which we live and the fact that so many people in the world have so much and are persuaded to believe we have so little, that we are so little…I guess a lot of what inspires me is trying to create space for healing and reconnection, for/with myself and for/with others.
What musician do you admire most and why?
I have a HUGE amount of admiration for Bruno Mars. He does it all. He plays, sings, and dances his ass off. He doesn’t take himself too seriously.He writes incredible songs for himself and for/with others. Even after he became a superstar, he was still willing to do great music written by others. He created a whole new project with Anderson Paak based on a joke they shared on tour. He’s able to pay tribute to his influences without ever losing the powerful originality of his own voice.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
I don’t know that my style has evolved so much since the beginning of my career. My first album is pretty eclectic, and I still write songs I love and variety of genres. That said, I feel more confident tightening the parameters of what I’m writing when I want to. I also feel confident owning the diversity of musical expressions that comes through me at others. I’ve also learned to not take myself so seriously; the fate of the world does not hinge on the lyrics, the mix or the chord progression of anything I’ve ever worked on. So I can’t necessarily say my style has evolved, but i guess I can say I have.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
Interesting question. I don’t think of any person as competition. I think it ultimately all boils down to access. Right now, the most daunting competitor is the overwhelming volume of content that’s readily available at a moment’s notice. And all of it is vying for attention from people who have limited time and who have devices of infinite distraction on–or near–their person, almost all the time. Some artists have access to millions of people. Most of us don’t.
What are your interests outside of music?
I love travel. I love strategy games and word games. I love falling into one-on-one conversations where It feels like time stops. I love cooking with friends. I love going out for great food. I love dancing to great live music and old school hip hop. I love playing with kids. Somehow, no matter where I go, they all seem to want to jump on me! I love reading and listening to well narrated audio books. I love going to movies.
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
If I wasn’t a musician I would either be an actor, photographer, or filmmaker. Much to my parents’ chagrin, those are also unlikely to be lucrative. (Laughs)
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
I chose “Gonna Be Alright” as the title of my EP because–in addition to being the title of a song the EP that I adore–it ties together the themes of all of the songs on the EP. .
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans?
I do! One of the things I love about where I am as an artist is that my engineering and production skills make it possible for me to collaborate with artists in a lot of different genres. I have a handful of people I collaborate on a regular basis, and I just met some amazing artists at the Durango Songwriters Expo that I can’t wait to work with!
What message would you like to give to your fans?
Thank you for taking the time to listen to me and for sharing my music with those who are dear to you. Having an audience is a privilege, not a right. Thank you for honoring me with your attention.
Proklaim Has Outdone Himself Again - Listen to 'Scars'
MY. GOD. Proklaim just dropped his latest single “Scars” and it is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE! This Namibian lyrical genius has outdone himself yet again.
Right from the haunting piano intro, you know you’re in for an emotional ride. Proklaim’s velvet vocals glide over the melancholic melody, immediately pulling you into his intimate world of vulnerability and self-reflection. The lyrics hit like a semi-truck: “Your secret’s safe with me” – goddamn, I felt that deep in my soul.
As the beat builds with those atmospheric synths and knocking drums, Proklaim switches into his trademark rap flow and the introspective bars start raining down. His lyrical dexterity is out of this world as he seamlessly blends sung melodies with rapid-fire rhyme schemes. The way he poetically explores embracing your scars and inner demons is nothing short of profound.
The production is an audio feast too! Those rich piano refrains intertwine perfectly with the head-nodding hip-hop groove. Each element from the weeping guitars to the stuttering vocal samples creates this lush, cinematic backdrop for Proklaim’s words to just soak into your psyche.
I’m talking full body chills the entire runtime. “Scars” hits that sweet spot of being vibey and introspective, but still packing enough energy to keep you locked in. Proklaim’s versatility to blend genres from neo-soul to rap is so incredibly impressive.
Thematically, this track is a massive triumph. The lyrics confront pain, growth, and radical self-acceptance in a way that feels universal yet still viscerally personal to Proklaim’s story. It’s the kind of song that makes you yudipose at the truth-bombs he’s dropping.
Musically, lyrically, emotionally – “Scars” is a 10 out of 10 tour-de-force from an artist operating at the peak of his powers. Mark my words, this song is going to be a seminal part of Proklaim’s iconic catalog. The hip-hop world better pay attention because this man is truly one of the greats. I’m still speechless, what an incredible song! Taps to the infinity for “Scars”!
"A Place Called Home" by Richard Green - An Auditory Quest for Belonging
Imagine if Vivaldi took a detour through a 21st-century speakeasy, where the lead act is not another flapper reincarnate but one Richard Green, flourishing in his latest single “A Place Called Home”. With Irene Veneziano’s fingers dancing on ivory keys like fireflies on a meadow at dusk and the Archimia Strings Quartet resonating with the heartbeat of ancient woodlands, you know this neoclassical rendezvous is set to tug at strings—both metaphorically and musically.
The air within this track vibrates with an almost sentient yearning; longing embodied so palpably that it could well be another guest musician credited alongside. Bittersweet affection oozes from every chord progression as if the music itself wistfully remembers nights spent under foreign stars and craves only the lullaby of its own bed.
Richard Green
Mixing honeyed nostalgia with sophistication (a linguistic cocktail I like to call ‘sophistalgia’), “A Place Called Home” pivots around home’s contradictory nature—the permanence in transience, joy in sorrow. The vibrations seem old-soul-esque while concurrently tapping into modern serenity, offering whisperings of what made our funky toes tap during Mr. Green’s pandemic partnership with Irene.
Irene Veneziano
And yet… amidst classical harmonies harkening back to powdered wigs and majestic halls emerges an unexpected tranquility—a musical oxymoron serving us chill-out previews from his upcoming EP before bowing down gracefully. What even is genre anymore? Who knows! But surely Beethoven would’ve sipped green tea to this?
Archimia strings quartet
Quixotic comparisons aside – or are they embedded within? – let’s declare “A Place Called Home” less of a song, more of an emotive expedition painted upon silence itself. Its transcendent timbre feels akin to flipping through sepia-tinted photographs but knowing your place isn’t just amongst them but beyond them too.
Richard Green gifts listeners more than mere melody; he provides passport stamps for auditory exploration—no queues at immigration required—just ears wide open and perhaps eyes gently closed as we bask in homespun bliss till summer whispers anew with chill vibes… Await those tunes as though they’re postcards sent from tomorrow—you won’t want them lost en route.
My People, have ever heard Jordan Kinsey’s cover of “Together Alone” by Melanie Safka? My goodness, it gets down to the nitty-gritty. The moment those sensitive piano keys and doleful violin scratches hit you, you are nowhere else other than this strange communion with humans.
The title “Together Alone” itself just shows that the song tackles the paradoxical feeling of being intimately close yet cast-iron alone that is the hallmark of relationships. However, Kinsey raises the bar in terms of her whiskey-smooth, soulful singing. When she gently whispers “I’ll be your sister, your mother, your lover”, we see the full multiple-faceted complexity of the human connection.
To conclude, we should recognize that for Kinsey this is not just another cover. It’s sad she sees that music can be a unifying factor which creates a bond between people and also give peace of heart.
To conclude, we should recognize that for Kinsey this is not just another cover
Nevertheless, her vocals are the one stealing all the show. Kinsey’s voice has this effect on you where she absolutely steals the show with these incredible, yet genuine pipes comparable only to that of a few She doesn’t sham the shirk – these feelings are really genuine. The voice reminds you in moments of turmoil for it also helps you find the pathway to healing.
Cinematography is just as beautiful in the music video with the slow motions of Kinsey being captured dreamily. I would add that the visuals add that more powerful hit to the emotions evoked by the music.
Although “Together Alone” by Kinsey somewhat diverges from the original, it at the same time pays due respect to Melanie Safka’s version and leaves her own personal touch in it. Composed with words that’ll make you doubt everything, sang in a manner that’ll stop you on your tracks, and played with such passion as the tune stays in your ear for ages, the tune is a true work of art. The sky is the limit for Kinsey’s popularity now. It’s about to go up and up.
Cosmic Carousel: kidd noir's Mr. Who Knows (Messiah)
In a kaleidoscope of sound, Kidd Noir delves into the labyrinthine psyche with “Mr. Who Knows (Messiah)” – an opus that spins you into the cosmos on a shoegaze carousel laced with indie pop cotton candy and psychedelic rock licorice. This emerging enchanter of auditory experience pitches her tent in the indie/alternative campsite but camps under a sky bursting with stars from distant musical galaxies.
As percussive Latin grooves shake hands with narcotic vocal harmonies, it feels like Santana took a detour through My Bloody Valentine’s dreamscape on their way to The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper rehearsals. Inside this track lies not just music, but also theatre: the story veers dramatically between light and shadow as we hear duel guitars echo each other in camaraderie before darting away on divergent quests, one for melody, one for dissonance—much like our own internal battles.
Cosmic Carousel: kidd noir’s Mr. Who Knows (Messiah)
The journey through “Mr. Who Knows (Messiah)” is less about finding answers and more about appreciating questions; after all, who needs certainty when you’ve got entrancing rhythms guiding your tapping feet? Imagine attending choir practice inside Salvador Dali’s mind while he paints hypnotic swirls around you – that’s Kidd Noir singing symphonies alongside voices that compel even shadows to hum along.
In summing up this cryptically brief encounter with genius: It’s part confession booth wailing against humanity’s own reflections−a chorus omnipotent yet intimate whispers directly upgraded from her soul-stirring “LNBR.” Whether monks chanting ancient verse or neon-clad hipsters nodding to beat poets’ rhythm––all ears will perk at something eerily familiar within this new proclamation by Kidd Noir—an anthem for every Mr., Ms., or mystical being who knows too much or too little…but never enough.
