Chantal Jüppner Emphasizes on 'Don’t Quite Belong'

Chantal Jüppner never seems closed-minded, which is also apparent in her music, despite having moved to Berlin and growing up surrounded by the influences of rock, pop, and orchestral music.

Don’t Quite Belong’ brings out a high sense of intimacy, whilst creating a safe space for everyone who has experienced a form of social anxiety before. Berlin-based, independent artist Chantal Jüppner describes the dilemma, to lack a sense of belonging.

People are made to consider feelings that they typically have forgotten about because of her gritty vocals, melancholic lyrics, and frequently undemanding message. ‘Don’t Quite Belong’ describes the feeling, to lack a sense of belonging.

“Don’t Quite Belong is a mirror showing myself at a time, where I was stuck in my own alienation. I isolated myself, due to overthinking and social anxiety. Knowing that many other people might see their selves in the reflection of Don’t Quite Belong was reason enough for me to write it.”

– Says Chantal Jüppner

In 2022 Chantal started studying Songwriting at BIMM University, through which she finally found her style and since she hasn’t looked back, she keeps striving to be the greatest.

Hey Daddy is one of the most sentimental songs I have ever reviewed, the song carries so many emotions you end up being overwhelmed with emotions that you might burst out with tears.

The theme of the song is based on true life story, something that happens in some families, he used a portion of his life as an advice to every father.

When asked about the major inspiration behind the song, this is what Mick J. Clark had to say about Hey Daddy:

“Like all kids, I thought my mum and dad were really happy together and so in love, and then he walked out on us.”

He added

“Men don’t realize when they walk out on their family how much hurt, fear and upset they leave behind and how confused and useless kids feel in this situation. Played slightly off key to make the song dark !!”

When it comes to songwriting its undeniable Mick J. Clark has a niche, the words e used for the song are perfect as they hit the nail on top, how Mick J. Clark is able to make the listener feel the anguish of the child is something he must be commended for.

The lyrics to the song are relatable, and this is brought to life by his slick voice and wonderful guitar riffs, he chose the right instruments and arranged them carefully in creating this masterpiece resulting in a whirl of feelings.

Dazzling Dance of Duality – “Gemini (Part 1&2)” by Benjamin Corson

Dazzling Dance of Duality – “Gemini (Part 1&2)” by Benjamin Corson
Dazzling Dance of Duality – “Gemini (Part 1&2)” by Benjamin Corson

“Two faces of the same coin” – this notion of duality is at the core of “Gemini (Part 1&2),” a powerful and emotional single by New York producer Benjamin Corson. In this track, he truly showcases his mastery over composition, arrangement, and mixing. The result is a stunning sonic journey that blends the aggressive energy of rock with the soulful passion of anthemic melodies.

The track kicks off with an explosion of heavy riffs, driven by the piercing vocals of Tim Pitchford, who has also penned the lyrics for the first part. The opening part, which sweeps the listener into a maelstrom of electric guitar licks and deafening percussion, is reminiscent of iconic bands like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple. It is during these first moments that Corson’s attention to detail and creativity shine through, producing a sound that is both fresh and familiar.

Just as the intensity of the first part peaks, the listener is swept away into a more mellow and aerial second half. Here, Benjamin Corson displays his versatility as a producer, as he crafts a dreamy soundscape that feels like a balm for the soul. The transition is seamless and captivating, akin to the unfolding of a kaleidoscope of emotions. This duality mirrors the underlying theme of the release – the Gemini, or the two sides of life.

The second section’s beautiful instrumentation is given more prominence while the male vocals are subdued. The result is a soothing blend of soul rock that conjures images of the legendary works of Pink Floyd and Dire Straits. The soaring guitar melodies intertwine with a soothing bassline and delicate piano chords, weaving a tapestry of sound that feels both epic and intimate.

It is clear from beginning to end of the song that music producer Benjamin Corson is a force to be reckoned with. It is extremely admirable how he is able to blend intricate melodic textures and elements while yet keeping focus and direction.

“Gemini (Part 1&2)” by Benjamin Corson is a rare gem in the ever-evolving landscape of modern rock music. Its exploration of duality, through the clever juxtaposition of aggressive and mellow soundscapes, is a testament to the artist’s talent and vision. This single is bound to captivate music enthusiasts from diverse backgrounds and tastes, leaving them yearning for more of Corson’s genre-defying creations.

The Meteoric Rise Of Vanda A Multi-Talented Singer

Hailing from Chicago, Vanda is a singer-songwriter-producer who made the bold move to Los Angeles in 2018 to attend the prestigious Musicians Institute.

That same year, she made a significant contribution to rapper Lucidious’ album “Enough” co-writing “Right Reasons”.

Fast forward to 2023, and Vanda’s music has been streamed by over 1.5 million people. Her popularity continues to soar as she experiments with new sounds and genres, drawing inspiration from artists like Charlie XCX, Audrey Nuna, Remi Wolf, and Julia Wolf, as well as songwriters like Sasha Sloan and Jessie Reyes.

Vanda’s unique blend of talent and dedication has earned her a devoted fan base and caught the attention of major players in the music industry. With her enchanting, sweeping voice and serene yet ecstatic production, Vanda has firmly established herself as a bona fide hitmaker on the rise.

Anticipation is building for the release of Vanda’s latest album, “Sober in Another Life,” set to drop in July. The first single, “Indigo,” showcases her undeniable prowess as a triple threat, having written, produced, and sung the track herself.

The song delves into the beginnings of a long-distance romance, further demonstrating Vanda’s ability to connect with listeners through relatable storytelling.

What would you say is your greatest strength as an artist?
I would say my ability to navigate different genres of music while staying consistent and accurate to my voice is something I’m proud of and have developed over the past couple of years.

What is your creative process when making music?
I have a few different creative processes – one more free form when I’m creating with my main collaborator, Joel Woods, where we get to experiment with sounds and ideas on the spot and come up with ideas on the mic, so to speak, which is always so much fun & then I have a more thought out approach to creating which is usually me alone in my studio coming up with different song concepts and melodies.

The Meteoric Rise Of Vanda A Multi-Talented Singer
The Meteoric Rise Of Vanda A Multi-Talented Singer

How long have you been making music and what attracted you to it?
I started writing music at age 12. I come from a family of musicians, so growing up around music definitely played a huge role in developing my love and passion for it! I performed in my first musical at 3 years old and caught the performing bug very early on but once I learned about the concept of songwriting, I was completely hooked on it & decided to dedicate my life to music right then and there.

What is the biggest challenge you have had to overcome as a band/artist so far?
I think being an independent artist comes with many challenges. As a female, I have dealt with my fair share of misogyny in the industry. Because of those experiences, it was essential for me to claim autonomy over my sound which is what initially prompted me to get into producing. Once I was able to have more confidence in my ability to communicate my ideas, a lot of the challenges I faced in the past started to dissipate and clear up more room for the art I wanted to make!

What streaming sites do you think offer the most value to a band?
Although I wish Spotify paid their artists more, I do think they’ve developed a great tool for music discovery and listener experience. As an artist, I’ve been able to reach new fans through user-generated Spotify playlisting and tools such as Radio, Discovery etc. And as a listener, I love the ease of the Spotify experience – but, I do think there need to be big changes made to support the artists who make it possible for them to exist!

How do you think social media or the internet has affected the music scene in your country?
Tiktok & IG reels are huge in the U.S. & such powerful connective tools. I am a big fan of both personally and professionally!

What are your friends and parents thoughts on your career?
I have a great support system. All of my family and friends are behind my career & are always very encouraging, even at times when I suffer from self-doubt. I feel extremely blessed, because I know for some families, pursuing art is frowned upon but I think because I come from a family of artists, pursuing my passion was celebrated instead of frowned upon.

What does your current song mean to you?
“Indigo” will always be special to me because it’s the first track I’ve released as the executive producer. It came together very quickly at home where I was sort of writing it and creating the atmosphere at the same time. I wanted the soundscape to feel like a dream state, grounded with lyrics from real-life experiences. It was important for me to keep it pretty lo-fi while making sure to keep the shimmer & sparkle in there, which is what I think makes it pretty unique!

What is one message you would give to your fans?
Just a big thank you to everyone who has streamed my music over the past couple of years. Feeling like I am, even in a small way, contributing to someone’s day with music is something I hold super close to my heart and am grateful for every day. It motivates me to keep going and creating – I just hope to continue connecting and making people feel something through music.

Keep an eye on this remarkable artist as she continues to make waves in the music world and get ready to be swept away by the irresistible allure of her upcoming album, “Sober in Another Life.”

Vanda’s journey is just beginning, and there’s no telling what heights she’ll reach as she continues to captivate audiences with her undeniable talent and infectious sound.

– i have none. Ain’t no competition, only opposition. Every motherf***er who opposes my people, the movement or the message in any form. From the government down to the passive supporters of it and all in between, you either the opps or the potential opps and we don’t rock with such.

What are your interests outside of music?
– The Creator/Source, Universe and the ancestors. Besides that my people, my family and the M’s. Big 40 on deck!


If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?

– What I am doing now in and outside of the music, revolutionizing my people.

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
– Resources, financing and opportunity. Most Black artist have the same issues anyway, at least initially, but because the M’s music is what it is – it’s especially hard you know.

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
– Control. The industry and all its extended components have too much control over not just our people, the whole world. The control belongs the people.

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
– It’s lit a** title, would’ve been BLK PWR (Black Power) but I didn’t want to give away too much of the sauce or end up running motherf***ers away with the title before they even hear it.


What are your plans for the coming months?

– More M s***! More music, more visuals, more platforms, more work, more community projects and more awareness. We building, M by M – day by day!

Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
– Only the M’s at the moment.


What message would you like to give to your fans?
– Tap in! If you are Black or what we call a “Melanite” then this is for you! @Vof40M on all platorms, get in tune! If you are not, f*** with the vibes anyway – you know we lit for real!

Gabriel Bishop Impresses With "Fall Together"
Gabriel Bishop Impresses With "Fall Together"

From the sun-soaked streets of Brisbane, the multi-faceted artist Gabriel Bishop, the solo project of talented producer Harry Wells, has crafted an unforgettable sonic experience in his latest single, “Fall Together.” Gabriel Bishop continues to establish his unique blend of early 2000s hip-hop & RnB, and folk roots in this release, unveiling a new side to his persona and deftly blending vulnerability and raw emotion with an undeniable energy.

“Fall Together” emerges as a follow-up to the playfully flirtatious first single of 2023, “Off My Mind,” and stands as a testament to the emotional range and depth of Bishop’s artistry. Through the song’s emotionally-charged lyrics and infectious pop-ballad melodies, Bishop addresses the daunting prospect of uncertain love, urging his audience to dive headfirst into it despite the risks.

The genius of “Fall Together” lies in its intricate fusion of different musical elements – an exhilarating mix of EDM synths, South American rhythms, and tender vocals. Gabriel’s ability to navigate the delicate balance between intimate storytelling and anthemic soundscapes speaks to the sophistication of his writing and production skills. The result is a single that feels both timeless and incredibly relevant, as it taps into our innate desire for connection and the trepidation that often accompanies it.

One cannot help but think of Justin Timberlake’s earlier works when listening to “Fall Together.” However, Gabriel Bishop distinguishes himself by incorporating elements of folk songwriting into his music, evoking the raw and stripped-down essence of artists like Ben Howard or Damien Rice. This masterful blend of styles and influences allows Bishop to stand out in an often-crowded genre and create a sound that is diverse yet unmistakably his own.

The vivid emotions conveyed through “Fall Together” are a testament to the fact that Harry Wells, as Gabriel Bishop, is an artist unafraid to delve into the depths of his heart and explore the complexities of love and human connection. This willingness to lay himself bare serves as a captivating invitation for listeners to join him on a rollercoaster ride of emotions, ultimately allowing them to “fall together” with the artist through his musical journey.

In conclusion, “Fall Together” is a powerful and engaging single that showcases Gabriel Bishop’s distinct voice and artistic vision. This single is guaranteed to appeal with a wide range of music aficionados due to its intricate blend of musical influences, sincere lyrics, and strong emotional core. As Bishop continues to evolve as an artist, it is thrilling to imagine where his talent and unyielding passion for music will take him next.

What is your stage name
The Magic Epic

Is there a story behind your stage name?
I intended to have a band once I’d recorded an album and after getting told my songs were epic more than once and my belief real music comes from the magic of the universe I decided that The Magic Epic would be the name that best represented my music.

Where do you find inspiration?
I find inspiration on the journey of life and convey my experiences , hopes and dreams through song .

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?
I always remember what music I listened to in significant times in my life.
I think music is best described as a sound track to life.
Music has always been my best friend to get me through the hardest times and accompany me on the best.

Are you from a musical or artistic family?
Both of my grandfathers were musical , one played drums in the army band and the other played piano around south London bars.

I also have an uncle that had a number one record in Germany with a band called the Bermuda Triangle .

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?
I am more inspired to keep music alive than anything else and restore it back to its former golden era.
Watching a live show passenger in pink pop really lit something in me that I had to record my songs finally .

How did you learn to sing/write/to play?
I thought myself pretty much everything apart from the first chords I learnt on guitar , by repetition.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?
The first real concert I ever saw was guns n roses , it was epic

How could you describe your music?
A bit of the the last 7 decades combined .

Describe your creative process.
It all starts with a feeling, which is the title of the intro track to my first album.
I will usually start a new song whilst doodling on the guitar or piano , I use these instruments to release my feelings like meditation I guess and I will hit upon something I think sounds amazing, then I will sing the initial melody once I’m totally connected to the tune , I then freestyle and words will come to me and then it’s all about playing it over and over till it takes its best and most natural direction.
I never work with the best until the song is the song , as I feel that a meaningful song is more about melody than anything else.

Once I’m fairly happy with the ghost version , I go to the studio where I work with my friend and producer Andy Brook and under my direction we put the track together and I always run through different options for the lyrics with Andy until we have the finished piece .

What is your main inspiration?
My main inspiration is not to get to the end of my life with the music still inside me.

What musician do you admire most and why?

I think I admire Elvis Presley the most as he changed the face of music , his self belief was out of this world, his voice charisma and presence haven’t been seen since, there’s a bit of Elvis in so much music .

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?
My style evolved hugely through out the years , I had to stop performing covers to truly find my own style and step away from Listening to music for a while completely for that process to happen .

Who do you see as your main competitor?

I don’t see any competition as that’s not what music is , my music is unique to me so therefore shouldn’t be compared.

What are your interests outside of music?

I live by the ocean and spend a lot of time by the beach , I love animals , mindfulness , working out , boxing and cycling

If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?
I am music so I am lost without it , I can’t imagine what else I’d be doing but I know I wouldn’t be happy

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?
I think the biggest problem is that people don’t buy records or cds so it’s a lot of work and investment that is hard to get much return from unless you are selling out big stadiums , which is a struggle when the biggest struggle is getting the music to peoples ears in this time.

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
I would stop the record companies brainwashing the public with low vibrational genres of music that are usually bad for society and the conscious vibration of the planet

Why did you choose this as the title of this project?
It just came to me with the music at the same time .

What are your plans for the coming months?
I have 2 more singles and an album coming so I am now focusing on making live videos so people can hear the songs in their natural state as well as the fully produced versions

Do you have any artistic collaboration plans
None

What message would you like to give to your fans?
Always make the right decision at the right moment and your life will be glorious.

For Torin Craig, the lead vocals for Pretty, Wait For The Sun is not just a literal saying but a gateway to escape all the depression, and despair, that most people have to battle with on a daily basis.

This is how he said it

“It was winter during a lockdown, and I was living in a pretty bleak apartment, quite literally waiting for the sun to come back in the spring. The song is about yearning for the end of depression and despair, and trying to hold the memories of better feelings to remind yourself that no matter how bad something is, it will end, or at least change.”

Wait For The Sun is an inspirational song a blend of garage punk with retro guitar riffs, the raw and hazzy vocals on the song gives the tune a different feel, emphasizing the lyrics of the song.

Jonny And The Jazzuits Proclaims 'I Can See Clearly Now'

Jonny And The Jazzuits is a four-piece band that is heavily rooted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, the band aims at giving hope to the downhearted and strength to the weak, and light to the lost.

The band is greatly inspired by the word of God and that serves as the main inspiration for the band, yet the quartet has another source of inspiration which is Jazz, the love they have for these two necessitated them to blend them together, and that was where “Jazzuitswas born.

In a recent interview with Mister Styx of Musicarenagh, the band shared the origin of the band name, they said

Yes! It’s a sort of play on words with the word ‘Jesuits’. We aren’t actually jesuits, but we do love Jesus and jazz – hence the name Jazzuits!

Jonny and the Jazzuits has released their latest single titled I Can See Clearly Now which is a prelude to the forthcoming 𝙎𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙤𝙛 𝘿𝙚𝙡𝙞𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚 album coming in the Autumn.

I Can See Clearly Now was taken from the Holy Bible – Hebrews 12:2a NKJV which says -Let us continue to “𝘭𝘰𝘰𝘬 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘰 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘴𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘰𝘧 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩-

How the band is able to touch the heart of many through their soulful jazz tune makes it whole song enticing and captivating, the lyrics are heavenly and divine, transcending deep into the hearts of their listener.

The song is the safest way to assure the broken that there is light at the end of the tunnel in Christ.

The band shared more about some of the challenges they’ve faced on their musical journey amongst other things.

What is your stage name:

Jonny & the Jazzuits


Is there a story behind your stage name?

Yes! It’s a sort of play on words with the word ‘Jesuits’. We aren’t actually jesuits, but we do love Jesus and jazz – hence the name Jazzuits!

Where do you find inspiration?

Our primary inspiration is God’s Word – the Bible. It is a book that has stood the test of time and offers inspiration for both this life and the next.

What was the role of music in the early years of your life?

Jonny (bandleader) started playing piano aged 8, but the changed to woodwind instruments when he attended Christ’s Hospital school in Horsham, England. There was also a military band there and the school would march into lunch each day. Also there was a school big band that Jonny played in that got him hooked on that genre of music.

Are you from a musical or artistic family?

My grandfather (who lived to be 102) played the piano. He was more into classical music. Not really anyone else in my family.

Who inspired you to be a part of the music industry?

It probably started with the legendary Ben Webster (tenor saxophonist), but also Louis Armstrong and other jazz artists.

How did you learn to sing/write/to play?

Had music lessons from an ex marines bandmaster on clarinet and saxophone, and sang in the school choir as head chorister.

What was the first concert that you ever went to and who did you see perform?

Wow! That’s a difficult one to remember. I do remember going to see the British All Stars – a jazz band that were touring the Middle East when my father was based in Bahrain. The clarinet player had a few too many to drink, and so in the break I had to step in to play (aged 15).

How could you describe your music?

We play ‘heavenly jazz gospel’. It’s got it’s roots in jazz music but it’s all about Jesus!

Describe your creative process:

Lyrics or melodies can come to me at different times. I always record ideas. Later I finish the song and then go to Gert-Jan, the pianist to get the arrangement finished. This is followed by 2 full band rehearsals. Then the song can get played in on gigs.

What is your main inspiration?

Jesus Christ

What musician do you admire most and why?

Gosh! This is again a difficult one to answer. I think I admire any musician that has struggled to get heard and stays committed to making something beautiful.

Did your style evolve since the beginning of your career?

Yes. I started as a professional aged 18 played in traditional jazz bands. This developed into more contemporary jazz and songwriting myself.

Who do you see as your main competitor?

We don’t really have many doing what we’re doing – jazz for Jesus – but in The Netherlands where we’re based Maria Markesini is now going for more jazz gospel. She has a new album coming out soon called ‘Nearer’. Well worth checking out!

What are your interests outside of music?

Reading, running, snooker.

If it wasn’t a music career, what would you be doing?

Probably something with computers – IT or something like that. I’d probably be a lot more well off financially! Haha!

What is the biggest problem you have encountered in the journey of music?

In this line of work it is often quite underpaid, and that can be a challenge, but I always say … it beats working in a mine!

If you could change one thing in the music industry, what would it be?
