Cal in Red

New single « Replay »

Spotify

Entitled “Replay (Lounge)”, the song narrates a deep and important bond and friendship complete with ultimate trust. The duo confides that the track « is a tale of camaraderie that’s all dressed up to dance. » Featuring pulsing 80s drum machine inspired beats fused with swirling synths, blazing horn solos and atmospheric vocals, “Replay (Lounge)” is a delicious first taste of the duo’s sophomore EP

On The Dance Floor.

Cal in Red have found success being added to notable playlists including New Music Friday (Spotify), Today’s Indie Rock, (Spotify), All New Indie (Spotify) and New in Alternative (Apple Music), among others. The duo have further been added to rotation on SiriusXMU and NPR’s KCRW. They are set to perform at this year’s Treefort Music Festival.

Cal in Red is an indie pop/rock project started by brothers Connor and Kendall Wright (Grand Rapids, MI). The band is named after their youngest brother Cal, who at one point had a particular fascination with red t-shirts. The band formed in the summer of 2019. The music was hazy and summery, jangly and guitar driven. The yearning, hopeful tones of these early sessions morphed into an indie-pop congruence riddled with nostalgia, lamenting the loss of past summers and desperately grabbing at simpler, youthful times. Cal in Red effortlessly slide vocals with guitar and synths to create a summery casualness. Their music is the soundtrack to a road trip: the top spot on a playlist also featuring Beach House and Tame Impala. Their new single “Replay (Lounge)” is a tale of camaraderie that’s all dressed up to dance. Featuring pulsing 80s drum machine inspired beats fused with swirling synths, blazing horn solos and atmospheric vocals, “Replay (Lounge)” is a delicious first taste of the duo’s sophomore EP

On The Dance Floor.

Opāru shares her new Ep « Gold »

Opāru

New Ep « Gold »

Spotify

Entitled

Gold,

the four track EP represents the transformation of the human mind as it moves from the dark to the light.

Opāru confides, « Gold is the hope in us all for a better place, the internal drive of our heart. This EP takes the listener on a journey through the various stages of becoming clear on their journey to their path to greatness. Each song represents a different part of the journey. Gold is the final destination. »

Opāru is the stunning musical endeavor of Los Angeles-based songwriter, singer, and actress Dianna St. Hilaire. Opāru’s music can be described as electro with a dark ethereal undertone. Combined with dreamy operatic vocals, Opāru’s work creates a unique depiction of modern synth-pop culture.

Originally from Albuquerque, New Mexico, St. Hilaire started to write and perform music at a very young age in choir and musicals. Self-taught, her first instrument was the piano and she worked tirelessly at the craft of reading and writing music. When St. Hilaire was in her late teens she began performing with punk bands and for producers as a backup/ studio vocalist in New Mexico, where she took on her first musical alias, the highly successful group Versailles. Partnering with the infamous Kim Fowley (The Runaways, Kiss, Joan Jett, Alice Cooper), she has toured the US extensively, been featured on the official Grammy ballots, as well as charting on Billboard. Versailles’s music was also on rotation with popular stations across the U.S. including KROQ and NPR tastemaker KCRW.

St. Hilaire reinvented herself in late 2015 with the new project Opāru, deriving from the Japanese name of the birthstone opal. Opāru’s roots stem from experimental electronic, 80s synth-pop, and alternative rock. She confides, “The underlying theme in my music is the workings of the inner voice. The internal person that lingers buried under insecurities and fears. Why are there so many? Why do we as human beings tolerate environments where these feelings are projected onto us?” Her influences range from Madonna, Kate Bush, Tori Amos, The Cure, Lykke Li, Lana Del Rey, Halsey and SOHN.

Currently, Opāru is working with various music libraries in the United States including Megatrax, MPath and APM. Overseas EMI, and Universal Music. She recently just finished her second release with Megatrax music We Are Eternity which can be found on all major outlets including Spotify and Pandora.

Opāru’s current EP is GOLD, produced by Niko Korolog and mixed by Nick Dillinger. The EP is a testament to the human struggle and the many stages of that struggle. Featuring dark melodies, acoustic guitars, shimmery 80 synth pop beats and powerful orchestral movements. Gold is the hope in us all for a better place, the internal drive of our heart. This EP takes the listener on a journey through the various stages of becoming clear on their conquest to greatness. Each song represents a different part of the journey. Gold is the final destination.

Mood Supachild présente son nouveau clip « Boy Convoy »

Mood Supachild

Nouveau single Boy Convoy

Disponible chez Paper Heals Music / Big Scoop Records

Après la sortie de Hate On You en juin dernier, Mood Supachild dévoile un tout nouveau single, Boy Convoy, issu de son EP à venir.

Boy Convoy, un tout nouveau morceau aussi doux qu’entrainant. Mood Supachild vient y poser sa voix calme et rassurante, sur un instrumental délicat. «

Boy we on your convoy

», une formule livrée par le bordelais, vouée à rappeler l’importance de l’entourage. C’est entre Hip Hop et RnB, couplets kickés et refrains chantés que le chanteur d’origine rwandaise offre quatre minutes de réconfort. Ce nouveau single vous rappellera sans doute l’ambiance de Brother un titre de Fatbabs, sur lequel Mood Supachild abordait un thème similaire.

La sortie de ce single sera évidemment accompagnée d’un clip. Un clip efficace, réalisé par Mood Supachild lui-même. Le bordelais y met en scène ses potes de la vie de tous les jours. Un clip tout simplement stylé…

Né Anthony Musoni en France, à Bordeaux, Mood Supachild est un musicien, chanteur, auteur et compositeur d’origine Rwandaise. Membre du collectif WorldWide Kids, il crée avec cette même équipe le label Paper Heals Music en 2015.

Le collectif écume les salles, premières parties, festivals, se construit un répertoire musical avec celui qui se nommait à l’époque Kool A. Kool A est le pseudonyme sous lequel Mood Supachild sort en 2011 son premier EP acoustique intitulé Symphony of my thoughts produit par son entourage. Il réalise ses clips et se fait remarquer pour son timbre de voix atypique et une proposition musicale originale, un genre de « acoustic hip hop soul music ». Depuis petit, il apprend les chansons d’Outkast, Musiq, Lil Wayne, Kendrick, Dwele, Lauryn Hill, Jay Z et en décoche un flow.

Mais Mood Supachild aux côtés de son collectif va plus loin et se diversifie. Il multiplie les casquettes. Il apprend notamment la réalisation, la composition, le montage… Il consacre son temps à d’autres artistes tout en enregistrant quelques feat avec des artistes de renom tant dans le reggae avec Naâman que dans le Hip Hop avec Fatbabs.

Fan de sampling, de break beat, de rap classic, d’afrobeat et évidemment de Rnb, Mood Supachild performe peu importe le style.

En parallèle, Mood Supachild compile des maquettes qu’il façonne, peaufine, fignole à destination de ses futurs projets solo. Et après des années d’affinage, nous y sommes ! Son nouvel EP est sur le point de voir le jour. Un EP tant dansant que conscient, une piqure de rappel pour conserver son âme d’enfant dans le monde actuel. Mood Supachild raconte la vie, son histoire, ses amis, ses galères… un flow de conversations dans les- quelles chacun saura se retrouver.

Mood Supachild avait dévoilé en Juin dernier un premier single Hate On You, il revient

avec Boy Convoy, un second single issu de cet EP à venir.

Anie Delgado shares her new EP « You Ruined Forever »

Anie Delgado

New EP « You Ruined Forever »

Spotify

Anie Delgado is a Cuban-American artist and songwriter. Born in Miami, Florida, she grew up in Melbourne, FL and now resides in Los Angeles. Enjoying a colorful childhood with a dichotomy of culture and music, Delgado grew up immersed in her Cuban-heritage by way of dominos, late-night dancing, and blaring traditional Cuban music in the Florida Keys. Upon receiving her first guitar in 4th grade, she spent her adolescence writing songs and later moved to NYC to study at The American Musical and Dramatic Academy.

As an exceptional multidisciplinary artist inspired by the diversity of New York’s music scene, Delgado joined an experimental rock band and gigged with them until she decided to leave the band to pursue a solo career. Having moved to Los Angeles in 2018, she has since exploded into her very own realm of alternative pop. Upon the success of her first single “Galaxy”, Delgado has continued to evolve exponentially as an artist and is now back with her highly anticipated EP

You Ruined Forever.

Produced alongside industry newcomers George Gleeson, Gary Dillon, Caziel and Harry Egan, this six-track offering takes a more confrontational direction to its predecessors.

You Ruined Forever

is a self-confessed breakup album about healing, despite lacking closure. Delgado confides, “The EP is called

You Ruined Forever

because when I broke up with this person, they shifted the narrative and made me the villain even though I left the relationship because it wasn’t healthy, due to infidelity and personal growth that was needed on his part.” As Delgado takes back her narrative with the determination she displays so brightly, her next release explores breaking up with someone before you’ve fallen out of love, because it’s ultimately the right thing for you.

She continues, “Although the EP has a lot of tones of resentment and nostalgia and clinging to the past, the journey of the EP is that these relationships are what make us. I felt the need to release this project because this relationship shaped my 20s and who I am as a person.” Inspired by the likes of Taylor Swift, Joni Mitchell, and Phoebe Bridgers, she found nostalgia in the streets of NYC. Taking perspectives and personality and pouring them deeply into her EP, Delgado’s echoic vocal energy rises above warming melodies and tender rhythms that exemplify her sublime musicality. Delgado’s worldly wisdom shapes her chronicles in a truly unparalleled way, as she brings the authenticity of her inner journey to the ears of many.

Her single “Dancing While the World is on Fire” was featured in

Billboard

and celebrated for raising awareness and funds for a youth climate change activism group called Zero Hour. She also donated all of her NYC performance revenue to the Brooklyn Pride Center and performed for the Sunrise Movement to raise money for climate change activism. With streaming numbers hitting the hundreds of thousands, Anie Delgado proves that there really are no limits to her capability.

Verra Cruz

New single “The World Is Crashing In”

Spotify

Verra Cruz form the British alt-rock infused musical project of trio Marc James (guitar/lap steel/vocals), Henry Cross (bass) & Jimmy Cooke (drums). Known for their hard-hitting anthems and signature lap steel guitar, of which they stumbled upon in a small boutique guitar shop in Memphis, TN, the three-piece band have been creating mighty, raucous tracks, laced with spiritual and personal themes. The band admits, « We’re not afraid to sing out about injustice in the world. »

Following an incredible repertoire to date, the trio are back with their next single “The World Is Crashing In”, a gripping ode to love, loss and simply raw emotion. Marc explains, “The World Is Crashing In” was written during the painful season of Henry’s divorce. It was tough going for all of us to watch 2 people we loved dearly, separate. For me it brought up painful memories from my own childhood. The second verse was written from a time in my own childhood. Our family home had been flooded due to a burst pipe, it wrecked so much stuff including my mum’s wedding dress that she had kept. It seemed like a dark and apt metaphor for the impending carnage of what was to come.”

Recorded in Germany with producer and engineer Udo Rinklin, their compelling chronicles pair sublimely with sonic abilities to produce a tune that mirrors their subject matter sublimely. They continue, “We re-recorded the drums at The Old Chapel Studios down the road from Jimmy. Bob & Jen at CatBeach hired Bryan Cook to mix and we loved his mix instantly!”

Taking influence from rock and roll greats such as Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and Rage Against The Machine, their dark chord voicing and anthemic energy come to life in a way that provokes emotion, energy and purely authentic melancholy. As they inspire listeners to be honest and walk through tough situations together, they confide, “It’s ok to not be ok, you can always start again.”

Verra Cruz continues to storm into the scene, surpassing sonic expectations with their flair and purely inspirational fables. With stand-out support highlights with the likes of Biffy Clyro, X is Loaded, and Switchfoot across the world stage, they’ve played at renowned venues such as the Shepherds Bush Empire, and a whole host of European festivals since the 90’s, including Download Festival! Featuring in Kerrang! as an ‘Incoming Band’ in 2008, their first first single “Soul Collides” was spun on BBC Radio 1 and KROQ’s Jed The Fish also featured the single as his catch of the day. Needless to say, their explosive career continues to take off.

Cherry Lena

New single « Toxic Woman »

Spotify

Cherry Lena is an alternative Pop R&B singer-songwriter from Montreal, Canada. Having first captured the attention of audiences with her performances on The Voice Quebec in 2018, she has since been making a name for her stunning combination of warm R&B tones and subtle 1950’s jazz vocals. Her music is rich and timeless, resulting in a sound which effortlessly displays the musician’s undeniable talent and passionate delivery.

Her next single « Toxic Woman » explores the idea that people should not see their pain as a weakness, but rather as an opportunity to grow into an elevated version of themselves. Lena confides, « This song is a sort of letter to myself. I wrote it last summer, at a dark time of my life. Whenever I feel down, I have this strange sensation that I’m stuck in a web of eternal negativity. Losing my sense of time, It’s like my sadness overpowers every part of my being and I feel incapable of relating to others. Relying only on myself in these moments, this song kind of represents the interaction between myself and a past happier version of me. »

Written in producer Jay Lavigne’s home studio, Lena set about encapsulating her truly cathartic musical messages. As she sings, « I know you’re gone, You always needed more, you, ‘Til I’m your ghost, No one gets to come close to you », her new single soars with passionate vocal energy, rising synthesisers and contagious melodies. Lena continues to showcase her migration into a realm of dreamy alternative pop, solidifying her remarkable sound and likening musical persona.

Hoping that listeners will find resonance amongst her rhythms, She continues, « I believe It’s only when we feel down that we really truthfully hear music’s messages. I think that applies to this song too. Anyone who’s experienced any sort of deep sorrow in their life will feel connected to this song. I’m hoping it’ll bring some sort of comfort. »

Racking up an impressive amount of streams on Spotify, the artist continues to win over the hearts of listeners across the globe. Her cover of Nina Simone’s “Feeling Good” in collaboration with Apashe has received more than eight million views on YouTube alone. Garnering humbling praise from tastemakers such as METAL Magazine, Earmilk and Atwood, she is proving to be a force to be reckoned with. Expect to see a lot more from Cherry Lena in coming months!
