Today we will be reviewing a song from a great upcoming artist "Gozie Ukaga" Beginning with haunting, electronic melodies, reminiscent of the early days of Electro Music. The introduction is radiant and engaging. This slowly leads into the vocal introduction, which is quite sudden, and sets the scene for the rest of the track. Lyrically, "Grudge" is rhythmic, meaningful and heartfelt, and relatable to anyone who has ever experienced the pain of love. The chorus, which brings a narrative style of lyrics, is incredibly catchy and is perfectly mixed with the ever changing, unique backing instrumentation. "Grudge" ends dramatically after a period of musical drama and fulfillment, leaving the listener wanting to hear more of what "Gozie Ukaga" is to bring.  Take a listen  here

"Arda G, the central figure of Arda & The Stolen Moon, is an Armenian-Cypriot singer-songwriter from the Indie-folj school whose material cuts right to the heart of her life and loves. Her vocals are earnest and the band's performance dramatic when necessary." - Norman Records Today I will be reviewing Arda & The Stolen Moon's new 9 track album, "Outsider In Perpetual Motion" The first action packed track is "Emotional Hacking".  This engaging track features incredible guitar and drum sections, like a rollercoaster of talented rock musicians topped with Arda's tranquil but seemingly powerful vocals. Talking about how normal people can't keep up with the top celebrities even when they try as hard as they can, It could be relatable to many listeners.  Towards the end of "Emotional Hacking", the track becomes more experimental and ambient, and harmonic vocals are introduced. The next track "The Duke Of Icicle...

New York based rapper "Rayne" has released a new track titled "Rambo" This track begins with a tranquil but powerful introduction that slowly cresends and exposes the listener to a wide variety of musical and vocal styles. Lyrically very fast paced - and clear. It's hard to do this, Rayne is a natural rapper. She's very rhythmic and holds great upbeat vibes. The backing beat is repetitive however it isn't a bad thing, it's very engaging and intrusive of the music. The heavy bass filled instrumentation isn't found very often in new music, so it adds a sense of uniqueness to "Rambo" This track ends dramatically and it makes the listener want to hear more...

Ruben Gausel Torkelson & Jessica Chertock have released a new track called "Rebound" Beginning with a tranquil guitar introduction, it really sets the scene for the rest of the song. When the main vocalist is introduced, you immediately know this song is gonna be incredible. Vocally powerful, complex and ambient, Jessica has a very commercial voice but also has seemingly unique and original characteristics.  As the song goes on, it cresends dramatically, the backing instrumentation becomes heavier and more inclusive, it is very intriguing. The chorus is catchy and engaging "baby I'm aboutta rebound", you could sit there singing it for hours. Towards the end of the song there is a key change, and a short but prominent bridge is featured, the track is laid out perfectly. It ends dramatically leaving you desperate to hear more.  Take a listen on Spotify  here

My Wave - (concept) by Ryan SamueŁ Introduced with "he's a pirate", it introduces listeners and fans to what is to come and what to be expected.  Beginning with experimental sounds and quiet narrative vocals, it creates a haunting ambient atmosphere. After "he's a pirate" comes the great bass boosted track "find my way"  This upbeat harmonic track is common pop and harmonic, but also has high senses of originality to Ryan. The next track "stowaway" is similar to the last track.. my favourite feature is the fast paced vocals, incredibly clear and meaningful. The song changes keys and styles throughout, this feels very unique. (Love the british accent!)  "old-fashioned" begins with a tranquil cresending feel, introducing with high pitched harmonic vocals alongside the bass filled backing beat. Lyrically rhythmic and catchy, and musically action packed and well composed. This has to be my personal favourite.  The 5th tr...

Diesel Hampton releases Foreign. Begins with a cresending introduction, giving the listener a taster of what is to come, with the upbeat action packed beat that eventually leads into the main vocals...  The main vocals are upbeat, fast paced and work perfectly with the beat, Lyrically rhythmic and catchy, its really something unique. Half way through the song, fast rap verses are introduced... It changes the listeners original expectation of the track, fast paced, clear and the vocalist can hold their breath for a long time, A feature of this track that I enjoyed the most is the mix of different vocal styles and different singers + instrumentation, it's easy listening and tranquil but also seemingly powerful.. it's really unique and a great showcase of what Diesal Hampton is to bring in the future.  "Foreign" ends with a fading beat that leaves you eager for more.
