  ' BlakJak ' releases a new track titled Same Way  Maintaining a soft sound throughout, it oozes a real floatiness, with occasional flashes of keys lifting its vibes even further skyward.

The complex organisation of this song feels upbeat and action packed, and at times leaves you wondering what to pigeon hole the sound as, but there’s no time or need to, and you continue to marvel at it for what it is. Too unique to be a pop, afrobeat or RnB track, it's a new modern mix of genres. It's a great piece of song writing, and it needs to be heard.  The real strength behind this track, however, is not just the ambient instrumentation, its the vo...

  “VOILA is the debut album from The Grin Lines, a musical project written and produced by bedroom-lofi artist Chloe Navarre.  Clocking in at just over 34 minutes, these sixteen tracks guide the listener through a medley of curiosity within the realm of “art punk” and garage rock, a departure from Chloe's previous work.  As a concept album it is both layered and compact, but ultimately sticks to and explores themes of self awareness, self discovery, and his artistic process with playful and true sincerity.” ~ Tres Brown https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/thegrinlines/voila

What got you into music and made you realize that it was your chosen path?  - My legal name is Brittany and like a lot of 90s kids I grew up idolizing Britney Spears! People actually had me singing opera for a while but that never really lasted as I feel better doing other genres!  Tell us about your single.

   Radio Drive - Cast out Your Light https://www.radiodrive.net/ The piano introduction of 5 minute track,  "Cast out Your Light" is hauntingly beautiful and sets the tone for the emotional journey that the song takes the listener on.

  Germany based artist, Pios Phantom has released an incredible new track, titled ' The Celtic Rock'  Artist's website here The Celtic Rock immediately draws you in with fast paced guitar that feels like it hints towards connotations of a mix of early brit-pop mixed with more recent indie-rock. (More on this with the aweinspiring solo's below) Musically, the track is based around a minimalistic arrangement with catchy guitar chords and drum beats, yet Pios Phantom is using complex lyricism to showcase his unique song writing ability. Electric guitar solos reminiscent of early indie rock dominate as each verse reaches its end, before fading back into the rhythmic drumbeats and allowing the vocals and storytelling lyrics back into the soundscape. I've only listened to it a few times by the time of writing, and I already remember all of the lyrics, in fact, I'm singing along! This is what makes the song great. It's memorable, fun, and the lyricism is rhyming a...
