The solo journey begins: Glasgow’s Laird goes solo and speaks the truth on ‘Rock & Roll Has Died’

Sometimes solo artists work out after being in bands half their lives. Sometimes however, they crash, burn and go back to the old band or form a new one. This time, we find an artist with an extra edge and a hunger that will clean out the buffet table.

Glasgow’s Laird has gone solo and speaks the truth on ‘Rock & Roll Has Died‘. He loves this genre of music and it’s inside his bones, his blood flows with kick ass tunes that rocks the house down.

After being in a few well-respected local bands in the Glasgow area that were blessed enough to share the stage with Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Biffy Clyro and more, this artists career has come full circle.

New York legend Nas famously said that Hip Hop was dead. This has the same kind of energy and truth to it. That pure Rock & Roll vibe that was huge for many years has gone down in terms of mainstream appeal as electronic and other watered down music dominated the airwaves and radio.

Rock & Roll Has Died‘ from Scotland’s Laird has that old school feel to it as he expressed his love for this style of music. The energy is high, his vocals are so good and this is a track that takes you back to the good times. The genre will never fully die but it does feel that it could be much better. Hopefully Rock & Roll rises from the dead and returns to the top of the minds of music fans globally.

Los Angeles singer Arcana speaks on personal addiction with ‘Back To You’

Los Angeles singer Arcana speaks on personal addiction with ‘Back To You‘ and this is a true story about how some people have a piece of your soul in their hand.

After the success of ‘Stockholm Syndrome’-the moody alt-pop gem, this is a return to these very high heights of effortless music.

“This song seemingly wrote itself for me. I was laying in bed past midnight when the chorus presented itself in full. The next day I sat down with it and created a very basic production outline; really just the bass and a beat idea. I handed it off to my producer RIKI who immediately understood my vision for the track and put his unique twist on the production.”

Arcana sings with such determination on ‘Back To You‘. The LA singer is experiencing something that is quite rare, that strong love with someone that won’t go away. You think of them so much and you are addicted to their style, what they say and you can’t do anything about it. It is like you have been taken over by a different spirit, this can be good but also bad, depending on who you are with.

This is a lovely indie pop song with a great vibe, terrific production and a new talent has emerged from 2020.
