Bella Deer - Care Too Much
Singer-songwriter and pop artist, Bella Deer has just released her sophomore single, ‘Care Too Much’. Blending silky weaves of soul and R&B with plush synth colors, the track takes on a lilting dream pop dimension. The melancholy is resonant throughout the composition, unraveling in the buoyant capsule of Bella’s vocals. Her sonic artistry manifests both in the lyricism and melody design. Candid poetry percolates through layers of acoustics, patterned synthetics, and hyperbolic melodies. The world she creates is self-sustained by contemplative woe and philosophical ponder in a way that is reminiscent of artists like Hozier and Adele.
Edea - Le radici del tempo
Italian-African artist, Edea, styles pop to suit her heritage and provenance. Blending Latin rhythms with earthy beats and resonant vocals, her tracks are imprints of herself, her life, and her experiences. In her latest release, Le radici del tempo, the artist borrows from a plethora of music cultures to set out world folk-pop. In addition to her Italian-African influences, we see some eastern mystique infused into the composition. It has a very organic design. Quivering violin and cello melodies away into the baritonal mist of her vocals. The Italian verses string into English chorus lifts, seasoned by the fluid neo-classicals, and ethereal harmonies. Listen Now!
leo reimer - 21st January
Leo Reimer is a lo-fi dream pop artist who engages in mercurial and meditative storytelling. The artist has just put out his debut LP titled, ‘songs for a long train ride home’. Each track presents a life-paced frame of mundanity in a way that is both nuanced and generic. Taken from this album is January 21st. Sprinkled with ambient synths, dazing textures, and muted vocals, the track absolves time of itself, suspending the listener in the middle of nowhere. There’s a lot of existential themes that manifest throughout, a clarity that unfolds, and an aching melancholy that melts into you.
Macarena - Libre
Amsterdam-based indie pop and neo-soul artist, Macarena weaves tinsel compositions. With remarkable lo-fi sensibilities, her work is all about gentle and soft music detailing. Her latest track, Libre, is made with sonic minutiae. Dainty lines of synths are textured by glinting melodic pulses, wispy harmonies, and sprinkled beats. They take on mellow funk and modern blues accents, as they frolic through the soundscape, patterning the mild breeze that is the song. And her vocals, weightless sifts through gracefully through pastel frames of cultured trumpets, funk synths, and cosmopolitan tonalities.
X-R17, Imperative Reaction - Information
X-RL7 is a unique pixel art cyberpunk animated Youtube series and music project featuring awesome musicians. For their latest release, Information, the banner collaborated with the band, Imperative Reaction to create a post modern electro-rock track. By creating a haunting and dark soundscape, the release is meant to bring out themes like privacy violations, digital profiling, unauthorized personal data dissemination, surveillance, etc. With incredible peaks, visual grandeur, and evocative vocals, the tracks compels the listener to confront the sordid realities of information and its use in the modern world today.
