Zø Marie Releases 'I Wanna Love You (For the Night)'
Zø Marie is a clever and highly gifted singer, songwriter, and composer who has just the right amount of strong vocal chords to ensnare you in her universe. Zø Marie is also a composer.
Her mother used to play her some soothing classical music before night so that she could go off to sleep. This is one of her first recollections of music. Every morning, her father would wake up and greet the day by holding her in his arms and singing her songs by the Temptations.
She embarked on a journey that culminated in the release of her newest song and music video, titled “Alright,” after recalling her childhood memories and coming to the conclusion that she enjoyed singing.
Zø Marie spent his childhood listening to soul music on the radio at home, including tracks by artists such as The Temptations, Michael Jackson, Prince, The Isley Brothers, Marvin Gaye, and Teena Marie.
On Zø Marie’s mildly seductive debut single, “Alright,” evidence of Zø Marie’s birthright into Soul can be heard. The song has a melancholy R&B guitar over a musically mellow feel that transports you to a more straightforward era.
Zø Marie’s talents as a songwriter as well as his vocal training have substantially improved while he has been working with the famous R&B/Pop vocalist Jean Carn as his vocal teacher. Working with Ms Carn has been beneficial to both Zø Marie’s voice training and her development as a person.
The English major at Columbia University in the City of New York feels that her personality puts her different as a real individual whose word is solid in an industry where people are frequently fake. She believes that this sets her apart as a standout in the business.
The audience that she is speaking to in “I Wanna Love You (For the Night)” is between the ages of 20 and something, and they are often mired in a “hookup culture.” This song was written as a response to the rude behaviour of males she experienced while living in New York City.
She penned this song late one night in response to a man who kept contacting her at three in the morning and begging her to come over. She had finally reached her limit with his condescending remarks, so she decided to write a song from the point of view of a woman who is objectifying her possible partner.
The song “I Wanna Love You (For the Night)” is taken from the album Soulmate, which is structured similarly to a braided road, complete with twists, turns, highs, and lows, and depicts her experience with love when she was in her early 20s. The songs that makeup Soulmate are her life.
Nonsensical Dream is the latest single from Aylesbury based metalgazing project Shockpowder, the British Shoegaze/post-metal project Shockpower was actually drawn to music at an early age, to him, music was something he wanted to be part of, and this became his driving force and propelled him to keep making great songs. The nonsensical dream is an unleashed energy.
Shockpowder is the latest take on post-metal, much in the vein of Alcest and Deafheaven but with more subtle references to explicit black metal and more references to 90s shoegaze such as Slowdive.
”To me, it feels like songs that elevate your senses. Every piece of music hits you with emotions, it’s what they do, but what I’m trying to do with Shockpowder is appeal to a set of feelings that you can only get when you’re really taken away from this world. Like a deep meditation. This will all inevitably be flavoured with my 90s rock inspiration!”
This is what Shockpowder had to say when he was asked about his type of music, he revealed this during a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh. He later went on to say more about his music and revealed his driving force and the type of person he is when is not making music.
My stage name, or band name really if I ever find new players, is Shockpowder.
Is there a story behind your stage name?
I’m not really sure. I came up with it when I was 17 and can’t remember why! But it started to mean things as my sound developed. Now, I like to see it as soil from another planet. Like, there are so many planets out there, imagine a perfect planet that’s completely empty right now and silent, like an empty haven. Shockpowder brings you the soil! This is on par with my overall theme of dreaming, because these worlds you can imagine so vividly in your dreams. Shockpowder can also be perceived as dream dust!
Where do you find inspiration?
I always just really clicked with the Post-Metal scene, that idea of soft ambience really touching the deepest parts of you with this really heavy, brutal overtone that makes the whole thing seem almost spiritual and sombre in its message.
What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
Well, because I loved guitars from such an early age I always saw music as “that thing I want to be a part of”. So it contributed to my identity in so many ways.
Are you from a musical or artistic family?
My Dad tried to learn guitar when he was my age, although he grew up in South Shields in the 70s so it was generally seen as pointless to pursue creativity when you should be trying to get a better life through work. But, by the time I was born he was doing a lot of small roles in local plays!
Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
It’s hard to pinpoint any one person. I think when it comes to the concept of the music industry, it’s hard to know if you can really say you’re a part of it when you’re an independent musician trying to get your music into people’s ears. But the inspiration to be part of it just comes from knowing you’re a passionate musician and knowing that’s where passionate musicians get recognition.
How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I learnt to play mostly in secondary school, but was trying to teach myself from quite a young age. As I learnt, I was always singing as well, so practicing the two skills in unison was a natural progression. Writing was also something I felt inspired to do while I did this!
So I just did all of this because it was natural behaviour when you really love doing something, before the big busy tidal wave of stuff hits you in later life and everything becomes about work! Channeling that feeling again when you write is SO important; writing not like a machine performing a task but a human being enjoying expressing themselves.
What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
I think the first one I went to was Opeth in London. It was amazing. Seeing a group of pro musicians, knowing who they are and what they’re doing, putting on a fantastic show like it’s easy and hitting you with their collective atmosphere. I miss performing myself! Maybe this year, who knows!
How could you describe your music?
To me, it feels like songs that elevate your senses. Every piece of music hits you with emotions, it’s what they do, but what I’m trying to do with Shockpowder is appeal to a set of feelings that you can only get when you’re really taken away from this world. Like a deep meditation. This will all inevitably be flavoured with my 90s rock inspiration!
Describe your creative process.
I try to either take a riff or chord progression I really like the sound of and run with it, or I get an idea in my head, how I want the song to sound and feel, and develop it with theory such as modes and inversions and whatever else to really bring it to life! Another thing I try to do is take music from my dreams. I think there is nothing purer that sound from dreams. It’s directly out of your mind, it hasn’t been twisted and pushed around by daily life yet. Shockpowder, being the sound of dreams, really lives up to its slogan this way!
What is your main inspiration?
I take so much inspiration from music that tries to paint a picture. Whether that be an entire ambience, with clever musical motifs that create a landscape of textures, or if it’s just really solidifying the vision of a story or feeling.
I take so much inspiration from music that tries to paint a picture.
What musician do you admire most and why?
For a long time, Alcest has been my idea of perfect music. I like to imagine how the concept of Shockpowder exists in the world with Alcest and other great bands.
Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
Absolutely! For so many reasons. Even if it’s just hearing the same song I love again and hearing new things in it (which I find happens almost every single time) or practising so much that I normalise a technique and get a new idea for a riff or something from that. Then any time I heard a new song or band I really love over the years, that inspiration would inevitably get worked into my creative process.
Who do you see as your main competitor?
I don’t see music as competitive. I can understand why some would; you might see someone doing something really similar to you stylistically. But that’s the best time to collaborate and learn from each other!
What are your interests outside of music?
I’m currently doing a bit of voice acting, but I’m also really interested in computers. I’m learning about coding and cybersecurity, who knows how that will go…
If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
I can’t imagine it! I’ve always loved music. But the reality is I’m already doing other things for work, at the moment I’m a studio engineer, so probably just that. But in the grand scheme, as in pursuing a whole other life passion other than music, I was always good at languages, I used to be fluent in French, so maybe a French teacher.
What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
Everybody, musicians, the industry and the general public, are all still processing how much the internet has changed everything. It happened so quickly that all of my musical heroes growing up were operating in a completely different world to me.
For example, once upon a time, you’d disappear for a year to do an album, which a label would sign you up to do if they liked your live performances, then you’d reappear to release it and people would still remember you and pay money for the music.
Now, you have to constantly be in the social media spotlight one way or the other, always coming up with creative and engaging ways to talk about what you’re doing, always releasing fresh material, and even at the end of it, the only payment is people loving what you’re doing and appreciating you.
But, to be honest, I do it for the wonderful people who appreciate and listen to it more than anything else! So the pennies from streaming don’t bother me!
If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
I would want to see more wealth spread out over smaller labels and artists. The most creative and passionate people often never see the biggest mountain in music, the major labels I think there’s only a few now that own everything, and that’s where all the resources are. I’d love to see a world one day where music is valued again and people with a passion and a gift can dedicate their lives to music and not have to juggle it with other jobs bar being unbelievably lucky and getting onto a colossus of a label.
Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
It originally just sounded cool. I’ve panicked about the name ever since over the years, really worrying about where it came from and what people think of it, but it’s just a band name. Band names are never perfect. They change to the meaning you give to them with your music. And I still think it sounds cool.
What are your plans for the coming months?
At the moment, more of the same! Releasing fresh tracks, coming up with awesome ways to promote them creatively. Hopefully this year I find players to join me on stage but we’ll see. Either way, I’m very happy with the direction I’m headed!
Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
None yet! But who knows, I’m always trying to get myself out there with other musicians, open mics, groups etc. Hopefully soon!
What message would you like to give to your fans?
I don’t think I could ever put into words how important my fans are. All questions about meaning and purpose are satisfied for good when I hear from them and how much they enjoy what I’m doing. It’s why I do what I do. It’s what gives any semblence of life to the music I write. We’re all together!

Naia Lika Is Making Waves As An Innovative Artist Through New Single 'Gas Station Bouquet
Naia Lika is an up-and-coming artist who has made her mark in the music industry with her unique blend of R&B and pop.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Lika’s early love for musical theatre and her journey through self-discovery have both shaped her sound and her artistry.
Growing up, Lika’s parents encouraged her passion for musical theatre, leading her to study at the Boston Conservatory at Berklee College of Music. However, during her time at college, she began to question her own identity and her place in the world. This led to a period of self-reflection, during which she came to the realization that she was bisexual.
Leaving college to move back to Los Angeles was a pivotal moment for Lika, as it marked the start of her journey as an independent artist. Throughout the pandemic, she honed her craft and found solace in creating music for the first time, drawing inspiration from artists like Remi Wolf, Dua Lipa, Leon Bridges, and YEBBA.
Lika’s sound is a blend of old-fashioned soul, R&B, and pop, characterized by its honesty and passionate delivery. Her debut single, “Gas Station Bouquet,” is a testament to her unique style and the emotional depth she brings to her music.
As a twenty-one-year-old, Lika is making her mark in the music industry and has already garnered attention for her dynamic sound and raw emotional delivery. In a recent interview, she spoke candidly about her journey as an artist and her hopes for the future.
With a bright future ahead of her, Naia Lika is one to watch in the coming years. Her unique blend of musical influences, emotional depth, and undeniable talent make her a standout in the crowded music scene.
Who are your biggest musical influences?
When it comes to the overall vibe of my music, I love the realm of Remi Wolf, Amelia Moore, Dua Lipa, and Leon Bridges.
Vocally, I take a lot of inspiration from Ariana Grande, Beyonce, YEBBA, and Adele. I want my music to be groovy and fun while maintaining vocal health, technique, and agility.
Naia Lika Is Making Waves As An Innovative Artist Through New Single ‘Gas Station Bouquet
What inspired you to write your latest album/song?
My latest song, “Gas Station Bouquet” derives from an eight-song project I created with my team last year. Since this is my first project, we wanted to pinpoint eight different, significant aspects of my life that we could turn into their own songs.
In this song specifically, I wanted to write about something good in my life. I often focus so much on the negatives and bring much weight to them, but I wanted to give space for the positives as well.
What message do you hope to convey through your music?
It’s important to honour and validate all emotions: good or bad. I usually put so much pressure on writing things that are extremely emotionally evoking or writing something that has brought me pain in my life and it made me forget to focus on the things that were bringing me joy as well.
I think, often, happy songs can be seen as surface-level or dull and I just want to be able to remind myself and my audience that it’s okay to hold space for emotions on every end of the spectrum. They hold equal value. My old teacher used to always say that all emotions are just energy and that “if you numb the bad, you will also numb the good.” I want my music to encapsulate everything that goes on in my mind without valuing one thought over the other.
What was the most challenging aspect of recording your latest album?
I had just gone through what was probably the worst two years of my entire life. When we went to write all my songs, I was completely shut down. One of my coping mechanisms is to disassociate and essentially numb everything I experience.
I co-wrote these songs with 4 others and I remember on the first day, one of the co-writers (Victoria Skie) asked me to list off ten things I loved, ten things I hated, and ten things that evoked emotion out of me. I couldn’t even get more than five things for each list and even with my answers, I wasn’t connecting to them.
I used to be so sure of who I was, so seeing this happen right in front of my face made me realize how lost I was and how much self-awareness I had been sacrificing just to stay alive through the pain I was experiencing. It made me shut down even more for the rest of our writing sessions. I noticed myself feeling cold and unresponsive the first few days, which is entirely out of character for who I always felt I was as a person – only sending me deeper into an identity crisis mode.
I am so grateful that they didn’t give up on me, though. They continued to dig and push down the walls I had created. It wasn’t perfect, but I’m not sure anything ever is. I am still so happy with the outcome of this project and I am excited to grow from it and see what’s next.
What has been your favorite moment or experience as a musician so far?
Honestly, I don’t think anything will ever beat what I used to feel on stage when I was in a choir. Something about the collaboration of tens to hundreds of voices was always super impactful to me.
I hope that further down the line, I find the opportunity to do more collaborative efforts and find more people to sing with. No matter how deep I get into modern music, the choir nerd will never leave me. It has established such a strong foundation of harmonies and melodies in me that has allowed me to be where I’m at today.
How do you balance your personal life with your music career?
I’m really bad at this, honestly. I have intrusive thoughts, which make me obsess over things and start to hype and fixate on them. It’s caused me to become super impulsive and emotionally attached to something, without weighing out the negative consequences.
When it comes to music, if I have an upcoming project, I spend every waking moment working on it – whether that’s creating it or promoting it. I lose sleep over it because I wake up in the middle of the night and my brain is immediately swarming with hundreds of thoughts reminding me of all the things I still need to do.
I am still learning how to find the balance between working hard and protecting my mental state, which has definitely improved over the years, but it’s a journey for sure.
How do you handle negative criticism or feedback on your music?
My response to criticism is all over the place, which I think can be said for a lot of people. Sometimes it doesn’t bother me; I can understand that music is subjective. But sometimes, there are just people that really know how to dig at you and find that sensitive spot.
I am a sensitive person overall, so it’s not very difficult to find that spot with me… But the most important thing that I do now allow myself to feel whatever I want to feel after receiving the criticism – then I let it go.
I experience whatever my body feels is necessary, I validate it, and then I let it pass. I try not to dwell on things because my teacher in college always ingrained into my mind: “The body never lies, but the mind always does.” So I let my body tell me what I’m feeling and I let any intrusive thoughts pass on by, or at least I try to.
What advice would you give to aspiring musicians trying to make it in the industry?
Don’t get lost in the excitement of creating to the point that you sacrifice what you want to be conveyed in your art. I did this a lot with my first project. I went to shoot a music video and was just so excited to be a part of it that I sacrificed a lot of what I wanted to be told in the story.
If this does happen as a newer artist, it’s also important to remember to be gracious with yourself – it’s common if you’re just starting out. With each project, you will learn so much about yourself and who you want to be as an artist, no need to rush the process.
Also, having a strong community behind me was something that was essential. I have been gaslighted in the music industry and belittled on multiple occasions by people I felt I could trust. It’s easy to fall into the ideas and thoughts coming from someone who thinks they hold more power than you, especially if you start to believe that they do.
Take a step back and breathe before making a decision or before you say something you might regret. Without having such a strong community around me to remind me that I was worthy, I probably would’ve sunk. Some people are great alone, just make sure you have the tools and resources to take care of yourself – whatever that may be for you.
Do you have any upcoming projects or releases that you’re excited about?
Yes! As I stated earlier, there are eight songs that were created along with this release. My next release will be in April and I have a music video as well. I am hoping to be releasing music every one to two months from then on out.
Do you have any plans to branch out into other genres or styles of music?
For sure. My other upcoming releases are all genre-bending in their own way. I have some synth-pop, and R&B feel songs, while some others are very mainstream pop. I am so new to releasing my own music, so I am still very much experimenting with my sound.
I already think I am leaning more towards the synth-pop, R&B vibes of music because I have found more room for my voice to sit and float somewhere comfortable. But who knows, my mind changes every day.

I have had the opportunity to encounter many talented musicians, but Mira Sthira stands out with her unique singing style and captivating lyrics. Born and raised in Bath, United States, Mira draws inspiration from the everyday experiences and emotions that surround us all.
Her musical journey started with a diverse range of influences, from the pop anthems of Mariah Carey and Michael Jackson to the alternative rock of Beck and Faith No More. As she entered her teenage years, she discovered her love for electronic dance music and rave culture, which left a lasting impact on her sound and songwriting.
Mira’s latest single, “Let The Armor Go,” showcases her impeccable vocal layering and emotionally charged delivery, while the ambient synth soundscapes and crisp rhythms create a captivating soundscape. The song is a testament to her ability to create alternative pop music that is both emotionally expressive and musically sophisticated.
Her previous release, “Weird Girl,” received recognition from prominent publications like the “Portland Phoenix,” which included it in their “Best of 2021” playlist, and it was also distributed in major Zara outlets.
The release of “Let The Armor Go” will be accompanied by a music video produced in collaboration with Mikheil Music, adding a visually stunning element to this already mesmerizing piece of music.
In a world where pop music can often feel generic, Mira Sthira is a refreshing voice that stands out with her unique sound and captivating lyrics. I have no doubt that she will continue to make a mark in the music industry with her innovative approach to alternative pop music.

Mira Sthira Shares A Brand New Single ‘Let The Armor Go’
What inspired you to write your latest album/song?
The song that I most recently released is “Let the Armor Go.” I wrote this song in stages. I first wrote the parts “Lies eyes traumatized” and “You built up what you wanted” years ago when I was just trying to leave a relationship I was in where this person would make up elaborate stories.
Some of these stories were designed to manipulate me and others were designed really as this person’s own defence system from their past which I had great sympathy for. This “built up what you wanted” part refers to how this person created a false reality to win people’s attention because of how they felt inadequate inside and also to convince himself that this was a better reality.”
The “violence in the honeypot” part refers to how I would come back into the relationship or with other people who were causing me emotional damage and that the relationships felt compelling to me, like honey. That there was something violent combined with a sweetness that kept me stuck and which would return again of my own volition.
These words and melodies remained dormant in my memory until a new situation arose where I found out a man I had been interacting with and friends with for many years had a secret partner he was not telling me about and had cheated on her with me. When I found out the connection with this person who I thought was a best friend stopped completely.
The “I dive into the mirror” part is about looking at myself, stopping these patterns and no longer needing to be at ALL responsible for taking care of another person who is not able to face themselves enough to take care of a partner.
“The Let The Armor Go” part is the newest addition to this song, asking myself and my higher power of goodness and love to help me release the armour I’ve built up from these experiences so that I can step into something vibrant and healthy, as I know I have before enjoyed healthy experiences and relationships and I know I can get back there.
What message do you hope to convey through your music?
These songs of mine are written not only for healing but in the hopes that it causes self-reflection and growth for listeners. I want to convey that resilience is important, as is self-care and time to really look and feel inward. Do not just fill the voids with the next addiction, stay strong and build up your heart and mind into something powerful.
What was the most challenging aspect of recording your latest album?
Trying to work professionally with a group of people with different perspectives on how something can sound can sometimes be a challenge. I would say the other challenging aspect is that it’s costly to work on musical projects that have the quality of sound that I’d like.
What has been your favourite moment or experience as a musician so far?
My favourite moments are the moments where my music has carried me through deep pain and suffering and provided me with a silver living or phoenix that bewilders me and provides me care and nurturing. I also really enjoyed first watching a professional music video that was put together. It felt like participating in the practice of magic with my friends.
How do you balance your personal life with your music career?
Ha, good question. I’ve become a hermit. I’ve used music as a way to take care of myself but it’s also caused me to become a bit of a cat lady. One of my realizations is that I would like to make a point to get out more to connect.
I tend to right now see a friend every week or two and to see my family regularly. I have not gone on a date in over a year. I think I have used music to avoid dating but I would like to change this.
So I am open to that! I tend to like to develop friendships with those I work with musically however and that is actually important to me as music is not really a “career” to me but something spiritual that I am sharing with others and also sharing so that I can keep making it in the way that I do.
How do you handle negative criticism or feedback on your music?
It’s funny, I remember getting really offended once when my Mother said something about a song of mine. I think I was so upset because I wanted someone close to me to validate me.
But what I realized over time was that she was actually right about that song! I was able to remix and re-do the vocals and it came out way better. I’m not very sensitive to criticism from strangers, in fact, I consider it vital information that’s needed to improve and grow. On the OTHER hand, I think it’s JUST AS vitally important not to JUST change something because you received criticism.
It’s important to stay true to what YOU genuinely like. The criticism can help shape what you genuinely like but it should not DIRECT it in an authoritative way, otherwise, as an artist, you will wind up REALLY confused.
I will also say, that when you’ve shared a vulnerable piece of artwork with someone intimately and they begin critiquing it in an unsolicited way this can feel hurtful unless they ask if you’d like feedback.
Unsolicited critique is not something I would recommend when interacting with the artists you love as they may not share anything with you again and it may be very vulnerable sharing 1:1 despite how many other people have liked or listened to the work.
Artists receive more rejection and criticism than most people do each day, which is generally something more seasoned artists are used to. Just because a lot of people like something doesn’t mean an artist hasn’t heard just as much criticism and rejection as they do likes.
What advice would you give to aspiring musicians trying to make it in the industry?
I feel like I kinda said it above. Be yourself. Stay true to your integrity. Make music for you. You will find an authentic sound this way. Go out into the woods, take a break, and then also schedule time for a whole week to yourself to focus on your task. Avoid addictive behaviours and relationships. They really get in the way.
Do you have any upcoming projects or releases that you’re excited about?
Yes! I’m working on developing a music video for a dark pop/alt-pop song I have as well as another dark pop/alt-pop song. It’s going to be quite different and perhaps startling. But it’s important to do shadow work.
This song I’m going to release is again about addictive relationships and is called “a fix” it’s about having a dialogue between different parts of myself that are seemingly in battle and wanting different things. One that wants “a fix” to fill the void and another, that wants to just be still and meditate in her own blood.
Do you plan to branch out into other genres or styles of music?
I think I need to be branchless. I have songs that are hyper pop, alt/dark pop, commercial 90’s sounding, EDM mixes, an alternative shoegaze rock song, and quirky Europop-type stuff. I have been told so many times it’s all over the place. So right now I’m focusing on an EP that is going to integrate some of these varying styles but perhaps with some more cohesion.
