The Sigma Strikes with ‘You Left’: A Melodic Force of Dance-Pop

Posted on 24 October 2024

The Sigma’s new single, ‘You Left’, channels heartbreak into an energised dance-pop anthem with a sharp edge. It’s a track built to fill club spaces, with progressive rhythms that will sit comfortably alongside Avicii and David Guetta in any playlist. The melodic structure draws you in, while the undercurrent of emotional intensity amplifies the rhythmic magnetism.

Despite emerging from the underground, The Sigma’s production chops speak volumes about his potential; the track’s seamless synthesis of pulsating beats and pop-infused guitar elements echoes the finesse of Mark Ronson’s EDM pop style; every instrumental was interwoven to give listeners more than just a casual earworm; it’s a kinetic dancefloor hit that merges emotional weight with undeniable energy.

It is only a matter of time before The Sigma becomes a regular feature on the dance scene. Get him on your radar now.

Skinny G Radio showed trauma the door in his euphoric indie-pop anthem, Pain, Go!

Posted on 9 June 2023

Fans of The Airborne Toxic Event, Sam Fender and Mark Ronson will want to grab themselves a slice of the latest single, Pain, Go! from the indietronic pop innovator, Skinny G Radio.

In contrast to the high-energy production, which rivals the euphonic records under the deft touch of Jon Bellion, the lyrical themes tread through the darker waters of our deeply personal relationships with trauma.

Anyone who has lived through it will know the fear of not being able to recognise themselves without it, as much as they want to show it the door for the final time. The Connecticut-born and raised songwriter, producer and performer, with his John Mayer-ESQUE songwriting chops, paid euphoric homage to that conflicting experience while orchestrating the ultimate indie pop earworm you can turn to time after time for the solace of the stabbing synth lines, soul-soaked vocal harmonies and layers of funk wrapping around the pop hooks to alchemise the perfect aural remedy for ennui.

Pain, Go! will be available to stream from June 9th. Hear it on YouTube.

Forstory Release Funky Soulful Track “Lion’s Den”

Posted on 21 October 2017

With a rich velvety vocal tone that is capable of portraying a variety of colours, a steady laid back funky groove and bass line, smooth saxophone phrases and an immersive performance quality “Lion’s Den” showcases Forstory’s ability to capture the atmosphere and essence of a live concert into one very well crafted song. Forstory’s collaboration with DTale creates an exciting combination of soulful sounds which blend extremely well with each other and indeed create one homogenous sound.

One thing that stands out is actually the use of the voice like an instrument, adding scat-like melodic phrases and unison parts with the other instruments towards the end, which gives the song its very particular character while showing that the music is created and performed by true musicians who know what they’re doing. The harmonic and melodic content are among the many interesting aspects of the song, providing great shape which brings out that vibrant “live” sensation making the music a perfect show starter as well as an exciting and immersive track to listen to on the radio. These guys know what they’re doing and they are ready to take you on a brilliantly crafted sonic adventure and experience so definitely keep an eye out for their upcoming performances and releases!
