The country cowboy with big goals: Pop singer Caesar gives us ‘The Chills’

Posted on 25 December 2020

Cat lover, singer-songwriter and young cowboy Caesar, is back to further enhance his music career with the new single ‘The Chills‘.

This charismatic indie artist has huge goals and a funky fresh fusion of genres intertwined in his soul that makes him stand out from rest of the curious crowd. His vocals are pure and genuine, the flamboyance only makes him more likable to each listener, as he grows his name around the world.

This is the story of love and how you feel so much for that special person in your life. All you want to do is be them and you will do whatever it takes.

If he can stay focused, put the hard work in to master his craft, get brand merchandise and other streams of income flowing nicely to help him pay for studio time and music videos, this is an artist that can rise to wherever he wants to take his music. ‘The Chills‘ from Caesar is a step forward for a young artist that shows the potential needed and just need to put the time in, stay patient and make quality music that inspires.

Hear this awesome new single on his Spotify and see how his music evolves on IG.

Kei Dii lays their amorous soul bare in the genre-transcending single ‘New Girl in Town’

Posted on 19 November 2020

Breaking artist Kei Dii transcended the notion of genre with their EP ‘Bar-Bies’ which dropped on October 15th, the perfect introduction to their unique brand of urban aural alchemy is undoubtedly ‘New Girl in Town’.

The amorously evocative single laces the romanticism of RnB with the convictive adoration which you will frequently find in Hip Hop, but you’ve never heard a track quite like this before.

It’s practically paradoxical for a track to offer such idyllic resolving melodies while simultaneously delivering hard-hitting energy. Yet, as New Girl in Town runs through, you’ll find that the momentum stems from Kei Dii’s galvanising vibe and passion which they project into the mix without filter, assimilation or constraint.

You can check out Kei Dii’s single New Girl in Town via Spotify.

London Alt-Indie Trio Alchemy3 Has Made Their Lockdown Debut with “Ride Us Through the Storm”

London-based trio Alchemy3 made their Alt-Indie debut on October 29th with the mesmerically compelling release “Ride Us Through the Storm”. Hit play and you’ll quickly come to realise how they came up with their moniker.

The high-vibe creative expression runs rampant through the tantalising soundscape, which is a minefield of aural curveballs, but each unexpected evolution in the single affirms that Alchemy3 have the ingenuity and the positivity to make a difference to the airwaves.

Ride Us Through the Storm is a track which utterly consumes you when you hit play, and I think we can all agree, aural escapism is more valuable now than ever. With vocals which share hypnotic reminiscence with the likes of Nadine Shah floating atop of the intricately orchestrated instrumental arrangement which mixes acoustic instruments with dreamy electric guitar notes, the single unravels as one of the most stylistically and lyrically profound singles I’ve heard this year.

Conrad Ashton’s ‘The Longest Night’ is a true life story about saving a friend from inner demons

Posted on 8 November 2020

Conrad Ashton’s ‘The Longest Night‘ is a true life story about saving a friend from inner demons and this is an incredible song that digs deep inside your soul. This is the type of release that is so rare to hear and comes from a well-respected artist that sings about real stories and experiences.

Soulfully real singer-songwriter Conrad Ashton is a modern indie-rock artist that adds that classic pop sound to to fantastic results. He is a well-respected musician who always puts on a great show live.

You care about them so much and don’t want anything to happen. This is your time to step up and you do, things will be better, you can just feel it. You know that you need and want to be with your friend now, as you will reach their conscious and they will take a 2nd breath to clear out any doubts.

‘The Longest Night‘ from Conrad Ashton is an inspiring track that shows us the importance of speaking up when you are down. Kind people who can help are out there and you just need to ask for help if you are having suicidal thoughts.

With the way 2020 has been, its so understandable that you can feel helpless right now. This is sung with such passion from a musician who truly gets it. He makes music that is meaningful.

Wavesy and Recet rip through on the electro-rap track ‘Reflections’

Posted on 3 November 2020

Wavesy and Recet rip through on the electro-rap track ‘Reflections‘, this is one of the best tracks of 2020 without any shadow of a doubt.

Wavesy is a personified dream that Cameron Poe created to help convey the old school rock and roll sound with a modern, darker R&B/rap sound that floats through the speaks like a bubble in the wind. This is a quality artist with lots to offer.

Recet is an acclaimed vocalist, drummer, composer, and producer from the thriving Denver music scene. He is a massive name to watch and this song showcases the great work that him and his music partner have made.

You reflect at what you have done in your life. You want to be different and to be yourself. Following your dreams and being yourself is so important to you. This is the core of your beliefs and you will carry on until you have achieved your goals. This is what really matters, not by how cool you are or how many fake friends you kinda know. This is the grown up world that you like to live in.

Wavesy and Recet are on savage form here and this rips a massive hole through the shame that has been 2020. ‘Reflections‘ is one of those songs you can’t stop listening to, the energy is electric and this is a proper song to chew on.

Posted on 2 November 2020

‘Old Enough‘ from new act Now Defunkt is an ode to past as this is a fantastic new single release.

At the start of the current pandemic, 3 friends- Scott, Steve and James created a song with the expectation that they would simply release the track and then return back to normal life.

After the virus continued, the trio, with the help of their equally talented children and also some loyal friends- are releasing a full album titled ‘Skills Are Handy, Feel is Gold‘ under the name Now Defunkt. This is a good bunch of friends and family who are doing amazing things right now with their music. Sometimes music comes from strange times to help heal us.

Now Defunkt is a creative collective producing primordial sound-box of the soul shifts. With a summer sax vibe, there is lots of sexy people cruising on roller-blades here. This is the song that makes you remember good times, when you were free and not worrying about life.

What started as a simple song evolved into a whole new crew of music and this is one for memory lane. Now Defunkt are a fresh group and ‘Old Enough‘ is a track that needs to be slipped on while with friends. This is an indie summer jam that makes everything feel okay again.
