Moonlight By Glass Lord

0

An appreciation for Kid Cudi, Doja Cat, and Mac Miller brought Nys and Glass Lord together during their time at the University of Southern California. When they returned from their summer vacation in California, they were inspired to create ‘Moonlight,’ a laid-back ambient summer tune.  

The mood, tone, and feel of the tune along with the lyrics make it ideal for those late summer nights and lilac evenings. It will undoubtedly find its way onto car-ride playlists this season. The gentle laid-back melodies are wonderfully complemented with a lively disco-Esque baseline and a catchy melodic guitar riff, both of which flow perfectly with the soft ambient vocals.

Overall, this song possesses all of the characteristics of a nostalgic 2017 alt-pop/vaporwave hit. The dreamy arrangement compensates for the generic lyrics, and the vocals compliment the track’s tone; it’s a strong 7/10. 

 

BTW by Josy B

An L.A Pop/R&B artist who released a new single “BTW” on the 29th of April this year and had over 30k streams on Spotify, “Josy B,” who started her music career in 2007 with “Red Rum” and kept leveling up since then with groovy beats.

The new single “BTW” was written by Sidnei Tipton and produced by Travis House, and the lyric video is so clean and gives a levitating vibe that can be listened to at a pool party while giving those moving beats in the song.

Put on your dancing shoes as Josy B’s music is rejuvenating with her sick beats similar to her latest singles “BTW” and “Crybaby,” which hit 90k streams and are popular among the dancers on Tiktok, as well as “XX bad,” and “Taknology.”

Josy’s music is worth listening to with a mix of old but gold R&B and modern music flow.

ألبوم – Mr Morale & the Big Steppers  لـ كندريك لامار

بعد قرابة ٥ سنوات على طرح ألبوم Damn، يعود كندريك لامار أحد أبرز نجوم الراب في العالم للصدارة من جديد بأحدث ألبوماته الغنائية Mr Morale & the Big Steppers.

الألبوم الجديد هو الأطول والأكثر تنوعًا في تاريخ كندريك لامار، يضم ١٨ أغنية بينها فاصلين موسيقيين و٨ أغنيات فيت تعاون فيها مع نخبة من أهم نجوم الراب والسول والآر أند بي أبرزهم: Sampha وSummer Walker وGhostface Killah وTanna Leone وBaby Keem وSam Dew. 

جلسة علاج نفسي

مدة ألبوم Mr Morale & the Big Steppers تصل لأكثر من ٧٣ دقيقة ويمكن اعتبارها بمثابة جلسة علاج نفسي لكندريك لامار، الذي لا يتوانى عن فتح قلبه وإطلاق العنان لمخيلته والحديث عن كل ما يشغل باله.

عدد تراكات الألبوم الكبير وموضوعاته المتنوعة تكشف لنا عن الصراع الذي يخوضه كندريك لامار للوصول لمرحلة السلام النفسي والاستقرار، فصاحب الـ٣٥ عامًا لا يمكنه السكوت عما يحدث في العالم من حوله، سواء في حياته الخاصة أو عالم الراب وصراعاته أو في السياسة.

يتحدث كندريك لامار بجرأة شديدة عن فلاديمير بوتين وكوفيد ١٩ واللقاحات والصوابية السياسية وثقافة الإلغاء، يخشى المصير القاتم لحرية التعبير، يرفض بشدة إلغاء الشخصيات العامة التي وقعت تحت مقصلة الصوابية السياسية ودعاوى التحرش الجنسي والاغتصاب، يطالب بالغفران وإعطاء فرص ثانية لـR. Kelly وkodak black الذي يشاركه في تراك Silent Hill.

علاقات سامة

العلاقات العاطفية عند الفائز بجائزة بوليتزر معقدة إلى حد بعيد، يلمح كندريك لامار أكثر من مرة عن خياناته المتعددة لشريكة حياته ويتني، لا يخجل من أخطائه ولا يبررها لكنه مع ذلك يتحمل نتائجها.

يخصص للأمر العصي على الفهم أغنية كاملة بعنوان We Cry Together

تشاركه في تقديمها المملثة الأمريكية Taylour Paige، نسمع فيها خلاف أسري بين زوجين يجمعها الإنجذاب الجسدي وتفرقهما الأفكار والطباع، يتحدث فيها كل طرف عن أسوأ ما في الآخر محاولًا قلب الطاولة وإلقاء اللوم عليه، يكشفان عن صراعات الجنسين، عن الخيانة والتمييز والاختلافات، تحمله كل مشكلات العالم وتتهمه بالنرجسية، ويواجه اتهامه باتهام مقابل بالجحود، يتركان الخلافات عالقة دون حلول ليمارسا الحب أملًا في أن تنتهي الخلافات وحدها.

مشاعر متضاربة 

السنوات الأخيرة شهدت تقبل أكبر للأقليات الجنسية وفكرة العبور الجنسي، لكن هذا التقبل يأتي بعد قرون من التجريم والقيود المجتمعية والتروما، ومع هذا يظل البعض غير قادر على تقبل الاختلاف، حال كندريك لامار لا يختلف عن كثيرين متهمين بكراهية المثلية الجنسية والهجوم على العابرين جنسيًا.

في تراك Auntie dairies يكشف كندريك لامار عن مشاعره المتضاربة تجاه الأمر، يحكي عن خالته التي أصبحت رجلًا، وابن عمه الذي تحول لامرأة، لا يحترم رغبتهما ويتلاعب بالضمائر التي يرفض العابرين جنسيًا استخدامها، يكرر سُبة مهينة، يتحسر على ذكرياته مع شخصياتهما الزائلتين لكنه في النهاية ينتصر للحب ويتقبل واقعهما الجديدين.

الإيمان والعائلة

يصف كندريك لامار نفسه بأنه شخص مؤمن تلعب الروحانيات دورًا كبيرًا في حياته، يتحدث في أغنية count me out عن شخصيته المعقدة وروحه المعذبة، وشعور الذنب الذي يلاحقه، علاقته بالرب والغناء تكملان بعضهما البعض، حتى في الوقت الذي يفقد إيمانه تفتح لها الأغاني طريقًا جديدًا يجد فيه خلاصه.

الألبوم الخامس في مسيرة كندريك لامار الفنية يأتي في مرحلة مميزة من حياته حقق فيها نجاحات عدة مثل الترشح للأوسكار والفوز بالبوليترز، لكن التحول الأهم في حياته وهو تكوين أسرة، وهو ما أظهره في البوستر الخاص بالألبوم، والذي يحمل فيه طفلته البالغة من العمر ٣ سنوات، فيما تحتضن خطيبته رضيعهما. 

يكشف كندريك عدة مرات في الألبوم عن حياته التي تغيرت بعدما أصبح أب ورب أسرة، يذكر أسماء طفليه وخطيبته في أكثر من تراك، نستمع لخطيبته في تراك  Mother I Sober التي تهنئه على تغلبه على كسر لعنة الأجيال التي لاحقته، تتوجه ابنته بالشكر له ولوالدتها وأخيها، يقدمون معًا نموذجًا مثاليًا لأسرة صغيرة محبة وجودها كان بمثابة علاج لسنوات عذاب كندريك لامار الطويلة.

كسر حلقة العنف   

يؤمن كندريك لامار بأنه خُلق ليغني، اللعثمة التي كان يعاني منها في طفولته خفت وجودها بسبب موهبته في الكتابة والغناء، لذا يرغب في أن يسمع العالم صوته، يكشف عن معاناته مع العنف والجريمة، في طفولته شهد جريمتى قتل، لا يزال يعاني من كرب ما بعد الصدمة، يسعى للتخلص من ماضيه العنيف ومعاناته مع الذكورية السامة وإطلاق الأحكام المسبقة وحلقة العنف التي تمتد لأجيال، يخشى أن يوجه العنصرية بعنصرية مماثلة، يدرك أنه إنسان ضعيف له نزواته ويعاني من الإدمان وعقدة الأب، لا يزال يصارع للتوفيق ما بين حياته قبل الشهرة والثراء وما بعدهما، لا ينسى التغني بمميزاته كونه ملكًا متوجًا في عالم الراب، يشبه نفسه بأنصاف الألهة، مع ذلك فهو يدرك جيدًا إنه لن يستطيع إرضاء الجميع لذا يختار نفسه في النهاية.

Dorothy by Darcy Kate

0

Hailing all the way from the other side of the world, Darcy Kate will have you dancing with folk goodness with her new single “Dorothy”. This is the fourth single she’s released, which will all be a part of her upcoming debut album, set to be released soon this summer 2022.

The dreamy folk guitar, paired with Darcy’s soothing voice, is what gets me in this song. You can’t help but to feel cheerful to the joyful beat and merry lyrics about friendship, it just puts an instant smile on your face.

Though it’s no surprise that this track sounds stunning, with the song being produced by STONEWAX, who has produced for the likes of Ziggy Alberts and Deer Donan.

All in all, I give this track 5/5 stars. The danceability of this song far exceeds anything I’ve personally heard, not to mention the happy state of mind this song puts you in, almost a hypnotic state of delight.

EP: Element 1 by MOLTENO

0

It seems that MOLTENO decided to amaze our minds, with a mixture of pop and trip hop music accompanied by a wonderful sound performance, taking you out of this land, to swim in the rising music space in its surreal future touches, while you are here at the same time based on its realism, which makes you want more. .

Element 1 is the first of four designed to celebrate the elements of nature and the way they connect us. MOLTENO’s dream soundtracks begin to take shape in her bedroom studio, which was built with collaborators to fuse realism with surrealism. A new 5-track project, MOLTENO takes us on a dreamy journey from start to finish. Often described as an affinity for dream pop, alternative R&B and trip-hop rhythms, MOLTENO’s sound is a powerful blend of amazing ingredients, blended together to create something unique. 

MOLTENO’s heavenly voice leads us into a dark and dreamy lunar realm, caressing memories with clarity and discipline, braiding words with pearly wings to fly over changing life situations, exploring the positive and negative aspects of the element of fire, from its destructive power in Our house is on fire to the luminous power of Illuminate.

For example, Our house is on fire is a piece that isolates you by yourself and dances with it in great sadness. How words like this magically blended with Chillout’s music express an extremely hot mood.

Also try to listen carefully to Tripping Up and you’ll be amazed when you discover how trip-hop music with lyrics drive you toward nostalgia, trial and the subtle power of a guitar.

Hail and Blaze by Andrew Bees

0

Andrew Bees just released his latest single ‘Hail and Blaze’, a powerful song with a defiant message and purpose. Bees is not a typical musician who likes to write music, he’s not just a performer, entertainer, or even just following his passion.

Andrew Bees is revolutionary and a patriot who believes in the higher purpose and meaning of life. The artist refers to bees and compares them to our way of life; he believes that “this is the music of pollination”, where we spread out (pollinate) the world with love, this is how we all connect and how we are all dependent on each other in a cycle that is powered by love, peace, and happiness through music. He believes that loving ourselves, one another, and our surroundings is the greatest accomplishment of all. He also believes that music is the best way to leave a legacy and to pass his ‘Bees philosophy’ that we always must keep going and work on our purpose even if we’ve had a bad day or phase, “The bees don’t put up with foolishness” and “The Beehive is set on the task to pollinate the world with love and joy to grow in the next generation.” This is how he chose to pass the strong values and good vibes to the next generations, through music.

His new single is a beautiful showcase of the Rasta tradition and Reggae music with a hint of rock, combining cultures and genres to create a captivating sound. It’s the 2nd song in his yet-to-be-released album “Real Life”, with a guitar riff and a solo that’ll blow your mind away, a Santana-like style that just gives you the chills, played by Valter Vincenti on lead guitar with Andrew diamond on guitar, keyboards, and backing vocals. Bingy on drums and percussion, Devon Bradshaw on bass, directed by the manager, agent, project manager, and artistic director Robert Oyugi of Ujama Designs.

The whole album was recorded at Nice n Up, and AXX studios, and mixed by Andrew Seidel at SUB80 who also produced it under his stage name Andrew Diamond. The album is executive produced by Bees himself under O’Neil Beckford, his legal name and it’s the first project produced through his BeesHive Music, his own record label that he founded back in 2019. He’ll be collaborating with LAW Records for the distribution of his album to be released in July.

EP: Slow Down by Ned Holland

0

To all of the youthful moments we once had in our lives, we live once again in despair to re-live such moments. As kids, youngsters, or youthful adults; we don’t lose our grip on having fun and enjoying time and never letting it slip. 

Amongst the battles with time, comes a moment where you wish for moments to never end, and you never feel like resting from having fun, and it’s not an option for your youthful joyful soul to “Slow Down”.

 Ned Holland -a solo artist from the south of England, Salisbury- is simply explaining our battles with our current slowly-paced lives compared to our youthful past in his EP “Slow Down“.

The EP kicks off with soft guitar chords mixed with light drum kicks, and all of a sudden I felt like “Whoa! Is this Tom Odell’s step-brother singing?” but no, it turned out to be that I was amused by Ned’s awesome catching vocals. Apparently, Ned’s influences were exposed in his style, as Ned stated “I take huge inspirations from the Beatles, Coldplay’s earlier music, Sam Fender, Tom Odell, and bands such as Catfish and the Bottlemen.”

Synths in the album are perfectly placed and give a warm heartly touch to the record. It delivers you the emotions you have been burying and concealing for years.

The vocals are astonishing, but on specific tracks, it had a few backgrounds echoes more than other tracks and If it was a mastering technique, I believe it could have been done better; I guess that goes back to the fact that Ned wasn’t recording at the same place “The EP was recorded at my home in Salisbury and my university house in Falmouth, Cornwall. It was mastered by HP Music. I mixed and produced the whole EP. I recorded the piano for Away with my friend Tom Brans in AMATA at Falmouth University, and I had Willow Murray, singing the harmonies on Away too. I also had Lewis Jackson -a, a good friend- help with the production on Slow Down.” Ned stated.

The production and mastering could’ve levitated this record much more in the listeners’ view, as some tracks weren’t produced with high quality, though they are fascinating on the musical level.

My favorite track on the record is definitely “Slow Down” as it has meanings and emotions that I’m personally experiencing right now and it has a special place in my heart.

And if Liverpool has Jamie Webster, Salsbury Is competing with Ned Holland.

Listen to the EP and tell us what is your favorite track!

Maybe by Jon Sandman

0

Jon Sandman is back with his 2nd single release from his upcoming EP ‘Spooky Action at a Distance’. It’s a solo project where he essentially writes his songs on guitar and piano as well as the vocals yet introduces acoustic and electronic beats and orchestral sound effects. A healthy mix between the house, electronic beats, and the organic, traditional way of actual instrumentation. He was able to reconstruct and revive the song after his early demo was lost due to a hard drive failure.

The song is very different from his first single ‘Dear Friends’ in this EP, a loud, alt-rock track with a strong sound. While ‘Maybe’ has a special ambiance, a light feeling like the spring breeze taking you on a trip to the suburbs with lots of greenery and serenity. It starts with a simple vocal line, a melody on a piano with very few sound effects and synths that builds up gradually by adding more instruments, layers, and sound effects, transforming the track into a different mood yet keeping its identity. The context of the song is about letting go and releasing our emotional baggage and tension To leave some space for our inner voice, passion, and instincts to take over through our journey with love. The artist’s style is mainly influenced by Sufjan Stevens, Beirut, Grizzly Bear, and others, while more recently he’s been inspired by Big Black Delta, Joywave, Metronomy and Miami Horror inspire the electronic side of his music. ‘Maybe’ was released in another edit ‘Cassette Mix’ which is faster in tempo resulting in a change in the drumline giving it another flavor and a more uplifting feeling. Jon is also a member of the alt-rock band “Pylon Heights” and the folk-rock duo ‘Jon & Abbie’. He is aiming to release his back catalog with over 60 songs starting with the upcoming EP.
