After a short hiatus, London based Slovenian artist Ina Shai has returned with the sophisticated, soulful and passion inducing love ballad ‘What Is’. Showcasing the pure and ample capabilities of her stunning vocal, she effortlessly swings from soft and sultry R&B to a powerful, soaring, soul-captivating chorus accompanied by a layered gospel choral backing. 

With an impressive range to rival even the most seasoned of vocalists, Ina’s blissful tone is simply made for the recording world. Expertly produced with a multitude of varying elements ranging from electronic drums and synths to a more organic sax solo, ‘What Is’ caters to all musical palates. Filled with emotional eloquence, celestial riffs, depth and dynamic, the track rises like the ebb and flow of the tide, laid back yet ever-evolving. The perfect reintroduction to this next wave of music from Ina Shai, perfectly sealed with a kiss.

Some Words from Ina Shai:

“The song ‘What Is’ was inspired by a deep, one-of-a-kind soulmate love. It talks about the beauty and intricacy of love as it leaves us wondering: »how do we know this is the real thing«? This song means a lot to me as I’ve written it whilst still in a relationship and now it sort of represents my goodbye to the person I was and everything I thought I knew about love. I think that showing love to yourself is the most important thing as only then we can truly love everyone around Us.”

Today, the 22nd of June the music video directed by award-winning writer/director Maj Jukic has been released to accompany the single. It was shot in the beautiful South Coast of England in Bournemouth and Lulworth in Dorset.

Folk-Hop Vol.II Jesse Aymon Dettwiler, most commonly known as C4C, is a multi-instrumentalist composer and music producer. This is the second chapter of C4C's Folk-Hop Movement Debut LP. This new "Folk-Hop" style has been described as "indie-folk culture finally catches the hip-hop bounce"  Us at IndieX couldn't disagree with that statement at all. C4C blends together sounds that work on so many levels. All the tracks move seamlessly as you're taken in by the immersive listening experience. Somewhat minimalistic, the calming, tranquil tones introduced in the tracks sit atop a hum of a variety of different instrumentation. Having already released dozens of tracks, it's little surprise just how much soul is poured into this art, and the outcome is staggering in its beauty.  The impressive element of the music is how tender and immersive it is, whilst still portraying a real and undeniable sense of power. It all passes with wonderful flying ...
