Alice Pisano

New single « Ink »

Spotify

Introducing Italian-born, London-based, Alice Pisano, a contemporary pop artist who made a bright entrance to the scene back in 2018. Since then, she has garnered a fantastic name for herself, offering listeners an ecstatic realm of lyrical bliss and contagious musicality.

Now, Pisano releases « Ink », the second single from her upcoming EP Shattered But Still Cool following the relatable « Boys Like You ». Written and produced alongside Anthony Goldsbrough (Sam Tompkins, Charlotte OC) and Gavin Powell (Emeli Sandè, Jake Isaac), her new single explores how intense love can be for an introvert. Pisano confides, « I can get a bit shy in social situations, especially at big parties. But I also have a more bubbly and outgoing side, and having a crush on someone tends to drag me out of my shell. When I wrote it I was dating someone and I was in that initial infatuation phase, when you get butterflies in your stomach. It didn’t end well, but that is another story! »

As Pisano’s dreamy vocals rise above energised synthesisers, « Ink » is enveloped by blissful melodies and a blaring bassline that would find a home on any dancefloor. She has released yet another single that genuinely encapsulates her burning desire for true pop-perfection. Pisano explains, « I hope Ink can be a mood booster and make someone dance, feel good and energised! »

With shining global success, her debut single “Celebrated Life” garnered over four million Spotify streams alone. Following her successful debut, Pisano also had four singles enter the iTunes Pop charts, numerous radio plays on stations including the BBC and over one million views on TikTok with her single “September”. Her single “Open Up” was featured as the soundtrack to the summer trailer of the British hit TV series Hollyoaks. This year, Pisano played two shows at The Great Escape Festival and was one of the first 50 artists to be announced. Accumulating a huge amount of Spotify editorial support, her latest single « Boys Like You » made its way to Spotify’s Global Fresh Finds playlist, 6 New Music Fridays, New Pop UK, as many more editorial playlists. As well as garnering critical acclaim from online tastemakers including Clash, Earmilk, Wonderland and Atwood Magazine, « Boys Like You » is regularly played on BBC Radio Wales and Pisano was also interviewed live by H from Steps on his Friday Night show. Alice Pisano is truly proving to be a rising star in the contemporary pop scene.

Kevin Ross shares the acoustic version of his new single « Sweet Release »

Dernière mise à jour :

19 sept. 2022

Kevin Ross

New single « Sweet Release »

Spotify

“Sweet Release” uses waterfall resemblant guitar reverberation and wispy vocals to create a romantic atmospheric highway escape song. Ross’ vocals both captivate and soothe the ear as he officiates an original spin on romanticism and respite from daily life. On his stripped down acoustic performance, Ross brings a new level of vocal definition and tactful intimacy to “Sweet Release” as he blends surrealism and sensation to create a sonic dreamscape. Kevin Ross showcases his refined, delicate vocals while simultaneously captivating the acoustic show with his powerful range and grounded stability.

“Sweet Release” is an ode to impending possibilities.

When you take the wheel, you control your own destiny.

An accomplished singer, songwriter, producer, and performer, Kevin Ross determines his course on his own terms. The Washington, D.C.-born artist elevates R&B through eloquent songcraft, rich sonic architecture, and downright traffic-stopping vocals. Since launching his career in 2016, he has quietly risen to the forefront of the culture with over 100 million streams and counting,

#1

Billboard

entries on the Adult R&B Songs Chart, and countless sold-out shows. Now, he continues to forge ahead with more music in 2023 under his artist-owned label Art Society Music Group (ASMG).

“I love to collaborate, and the music never stops,” he explains. “It still has to get done, so I’ll make it myself. Whether I knew it or not, producing was already written into my DNA as an artist in terms of who I was supposed to be all along. That’s not just an artist who can sing, but an artist who can write, produce, perform, and execute at the highest level possible in order to deliver to the masses.”

Kevin vividly recalls his first memory of music, listening to Lisa Stansfield’s “All Around The World” from his car seat as a baby. He went on to obsess over the likes of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, and Smokey Robinson. Following his high school years at Duke Ellington School of the Arts, he earned a scholarship & degree to Boston’s prestigious Berklee College of Music. Settling in Atlanta, he initially made waves behind-the-scenes, penning hit charting tunes for the likes of Trey Songz, Toni Braxton, Tank, and many more.

As a solo artist, he wrote, recorded, and produced “Long Song Away” in 2016, toppling both the Adult R&B Songs Chart and the Urban Adult Contemporary Chart at

#1

. In between collaborations with Kevin Hart, Ne-Yo, and T.I., he built a bulletproof solo discography highlighted by

The Awakening

[2017],

Drive EP

[2017], and

Audacity Vol. 1-2

[2020]. From the latter, “God Is A Genius” generated 13 million streams across platforms. Along the way, he also toured alongside legends Babyface, KEM & Maxwell, in addition to picking up nominations at the Soul Train Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and iHeart Radio Music Awards.

In 2019 he founded Art Society Music Group as the home for all of his releases. With Kevin at the helm 2021’s Drive 2 [ASMG/Empire] represented another high achievement. It bowed at

#1

on the iTunes Top R&B/Soul Albums Chart, while “Looking For Love” vaulted onto the Top 10 of the

Billboard

Adult R&B Radio Play Chart.

Beyond acclaim from

Billboard, Rolling Stone

, and

BET

,

Washington Post

proclaimed,

“Ross doesn’t sound like he’s trying to find a musical identity. He knows who he is, and his album reflects that.”

“

Drive 2

definitely shows growth,” he notes. “It’s been five years since the last one. I was producing a lot more on the second installment. I’m way more confident in my ability. It’s leaps and bounds better than the first. It’s all just time, growth, and awareness.”

You can hear it, see it, and feel it on his standout single “Sweet Release.” Proving to be another smash produced and written by Kevin with bright guitar threads around a simmering beat as his voice flutters from vulnerable verses into a vital hook highlighted by hypnotic high register.

“Everybody has a guilty pleasure or something to take them away from the daily monotony,” he observes. “It’s more so about escapism than it’s meant to be sexual or sensual. For me, the main key is the escape. If you’re riding in the car, you can play the song. It could just feel liberating like a cool breeze. This song is transformative in a sense. Wherever you are, it can be your soundtrack.”

Ultimately, Kevin keeps creating the soundtrack to your life.

“When you listen to me, I hope the music makes you feel something, puts a smile on your face, or provides comfort,” he leaves off. “It’s much bigger than me. I want you to make memories to these songs. I couldn’t ask for anything else. For me to be complete, I need to write, produce, arrange, mix, and perform on stage to affect people. I feel like I’m doing what I need to do, and this is where I’m meant to be today.”

Natalie Shay

New single « Heaven »

Spotify

Natalie Shay is an indie-pop artist hailing from North London. The multi-award-winning musician has established an ever-growing presence and loyal fanbase through her explosive live performances and unforgettable anthems, recognising her as one of the UK’s hottest emerging talents. With indie synth pop leanings and ferocious guitar playing, Shay’s references range from Haim and Taylor Swift to Little Comets. Her relatable lyrics touch on love, self-discovery and the everyday experiences of a twenty-something.

Combining her youthful and charismatic aura with her classical training and time spent at the prestigious BRIT School, Shay has finessed the ability to produce undeniably catchy music, whilst maintaining musical maturity. Written alongside George Gianluca in his Brixton studio, Shay’s incredible new single “Heaven” came to life. Her new track comes of age in an ode to personal growth, exploring the point in time in which a girl feels like she has become a woman. Shay confides, “I feel like in lockdown I learned a lot about myself and growth. In essence it’s a song sung to my younger self about what I’ve discovered and how I see myself getting through life now. I think it’s important to reflect on the most unique parts of your personality, and as a songwriter I think transparency comes from writing about your own flaws, not just those of others. »

Shay’s dynamic melodies pair with soaring vocal energy and the layering harmonies that bring an overarching warmth to “Heaven”. The familiar acoustic arrangements pair sublimely with Shay’s unique musicality, as her lyrical reflection captures key moments of her life. Portraying her personal story across her repertoire, “Heaven” is the next single ahead of Shay’s highly anticipated EP, where each track explores a key feeling sensed when writing during the lockdown. She continues, “I hope I can inspire other girls in particular to get into songwriting as so many female singer/ songwriters inspired me to do so and it’s saved, changed and made my life.”

Shay continues to pique the interest of audiences across the globe. Garnering attention from notable publications such as

Billboard, Clash

and

The Line of Best Fit

, to name a few, Natalie also performed « New Wave » on CBBC’s « Saturday Mash Up! » late last year, and has landed on Spotify’s New Music Friday playlist in 12 countries. She has also worked on EDM tracks with the likes of Grum and Kryder, racking up millions of streams to date. Having sold out venues across London, most recently the Camden Assembly and Oslo, tickets are now on sale for Natalie Shay’s upcoming headline show at The Omeara in London on 25th November. After a very big summer appearing at renowned festivals such as Reading, Y Not, Hyde Park BTS and 110 Above, it looks like 2022 will continue to be an explosive year.

the Loopholes

(Future, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Moneybagg Yo) to produce the hard-hitting, razor-sharp sound of “Weight Up”.

With a natural talent for crafting hooks and creating relatable lyrics, Sir Will has built a dedicated fanbase of avid listeners.

Growing up in Compton, California, Sir Will overcame a difficult childhood with his family members selling and abusing drugs and loved ones involved in gang activity. Inspired by Los Angeles icon and local rap hero, “DJ QUIK”, who performed at his neighborhood’s annual block party, a young Sir Will wanted to achieve that same human “superpower” of becoming an influential rap icon who enthralled and motivated audiences around the globe. At just eight years old, a young Sir Will began songwriting, rapping and entering in local talent shows and performances showcasing his original music.

Since 2021, Sir Will has released a series of infectious hip hop and R&B singles under his label, Will Do It Entertainment. Working alongside West Coast legendary producer Rhythm D and other icons such as Battlecat, Drumma Boy, Bobby Keyz from the Loopholes, and LA Reid’s son Antonio Reid Jr., is a sought after artist who has established himself as a rapper known for slick metaphors, great hooks and a captivating vocal clarity. He confides, “I want any listener watching me perform or listening to me wherever you are, to hear every single word that comes out of my mouth. I feel we do not have enough of that in today’s music, and I want to bring that feeling back.”

Sir Will’s “Moment of Truth”, which features Arizona rapper JudgeDaBoss and showcases the artist as a powerful thought leader and a musical force to be reckoned with in the hip hop world. Thematically, the song explores undeniable confidence, determination and ultimately finding success after life’s trials and tribulations.

With production by Pandora Nightz, the song’s masterful and dynamic elements keep listener’s on their toes for a fresh and invigorating musical listen.

His single “Weight Up” is a modern hip hop anthem dedicated to appreciating the beauty, decadence, and finer things in life with his signature charismatic feel-good flow. “Weight Up” is all about investing in yourself; putting in the work and celebrating the results. As Sir Will puts it, “The term ‘Weight Up’ stands for whatever you’re doing in life. You can always do it better and go harder.” Antonio Reid Jr. brought together multi-platinum, Grammy nominated West Coast legend Rhythm D (Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Mack 10, Paperboy) and Grammy nominated, Billboard award winning icon Bobby Keyz of

the Loopholes

(Future, Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Moneybagg Yo) to produce the hard-hitting, razor-sharp sound of “Weight Up”.

With influences such as 2 Pac, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne as well as notable battle rappers Tay Roc, Tsu Surf, Geechi Gotti, and Math Hoffa, Sir Will has no limits when it comes to fusing musical styles. “I’m from the West Coast, so you will be able to hear that in my slang, the way I talk. But I want you to hear the East Coast lyricism, all the way to that South bounce. I want to be able to deliver it from all areas like it’s never been done before.”

Outside of music, Sir Will finds purpose by giving back to the community and educating inner city youth on financial literacy. With more music on the horizon, Sir Will is not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. “The message is simple – I’m here to create great music and deliver it from the perspective of someone who came from nothing and who has seen success before all the music and fame.”

Braveweather shares their new single « missing pieces »

Braveweather

New single « missing pieces »

Spotify

On « missing pieces » the band confides, « the message behind the song is that no one’s situation is perfect – a lot of « happy » people are struggling – and they’re putting on a brave face, despite what might be missing in their life. Everyone has their own cross to bear, demons to fight, situations that they may struggle with. This song is meant to empower those who are struggling and recognize how far we’ve come, regardless of our struggles. » With explosive anthemic melodies, hard-hitting drums and rapid-fire bright guitar riffs, « missing pieces » is an unforgettable rock single.

Founded in late 2019, braveweather is an Orlando-based indie rock band whose music explores the concepts of intimacy, infidelity, loss, mental health, struggle and personal purpose. Elements of their unique sound are influenced by late 90’s and early 2000’s indie-rock and modern indie rock and punk.

braveweather came together for the first time as a band 2 months before COVID-19 spread across the world, locking everyone indoors for months. For the duration of 2020, Christian, Maria, and Tony only saw each other – writing and recording songs in unusedfront office of a casket warehouse that they got to use as a practice space.

Being in solitude for most of a year gives you a lot of time to think, and to reflect. These thoughts, feelings, and reflections are at the core of braveweather’s writing.

An enchanting vocal rides an entrancing bassline, galloping through moonlit fields of growing techno-infused rhythms. Refusing to stand still, the record drives further and further toward a penultimate peak, reaching it effortlessly.

A singular unforgettable moment sparked the French-born producer’s desire to pursue music: In 2012 he watched David Guetta and Nicky Romero perform what would become his all-time favourite song, ‘Metropolis’, live in Montpellier, France. He was certain he had glimpsed his future and, after receiving his first DJ controller for Christmas that same year, began exploring the realms of electronic music, where, ultimately, he found expression in House music. Expanding his abilities as an artist, he learned to produce the genre, taking inspiration from the likes of

Jon Hopkins, WhoMadeWho, Moderat, M83, Adriatique, Max Cooper

and

Lane 8.

CONFLUENCE

describes the record:

“’Azul’ is a Progressive House and Melodic Techno song with catchy a Hispanic vocal and melody. I was so inspired when I started to work on it that the track was finished in one day.”

Christophe Alévêque dès le 04/10 au Café de la Gare

Christophe Alévêque

Nouveau spectacle Vieux Con ?

A partir du 4 octobre au Café de la Gare à Paris

Tous les mardis à 21h

Christophe Alévêque est de retour avec son spectacle Vieux Con ? dès le 04 octobre à Paris. Après le Théâtre du Rond-Point, nous pourrons le retrouver tous les mardis à 21 heures dans la salle mythique du Café de la Gare, pour un rendez-vous hebdomadaire.

Avec le spectacle Vieux Con ?, Christophe Alévêque tente d’expliquer le monde à son petit dernier. Un monde pasteurisé et anxiogène où l’on vous sauve la vie en la pourrissant.

Avec ses petits poings et le cerveau disponible qui lui reste, il a décidé de lutter contre la mièvrerie, l’hypocrisie et le lissage de la pensée. La tyrannie de la bienveillance n’a pas de limites, lui non plus.

En libre penseur, Christophe Alévêque est entré en résistance. À tel point qu’il se demande s’il ne serait pas devenu un vieux con. Et vous ? Venez-vous tester les mardis à 21h au

Café de la Gare

à partir du 04 octobre 2022.

Christophe Alévêque s’attaque aux inquisiteurs du nouvel ordre moral dans son nouveau spectacle Vieux con ? qui arrive à Paris au Café de la Gare tous les mardis à 21h à partir du 04 octobre 2022.

Il en a marre et le dit. Il s’en prend à la bien-pensance des Bisounours en place, aux bières sans alcool, aux journées sans tabac et autres charcuteries maigres. Il fonde le club des « Vieux Cons Modernes », en réponse à la dictature molle d’une pensée tiède, et raconte le monde à son jeune fils.

Irrévérencieux, Alévêque l’est sans aucun doute, mais avec talent, panache et goût du risque, lui qui a pour adversaires toutes les formes de superficialité et d’aliénation contemporaines.

Humoriste engagé, dégagé, à la marge, clown dérisoire ou missionnaire, Christophe Alévêque défend une liberté d’expression totale et sans entrave, une imagination débridée, sans autocensure, ni censure du tout.

« Vieux con », écrit et interprété par Christophe Alévêque. Mise en scène : Philippe Sohier – Durée : 1h30.

Au Café de la Gare à Paris à partir du 04/10/2022, tous les mardis à 21h.

MALU shares her new single ‘Never On Time’

MALU

New single ‘Never On Time’

Spotify

MALU has a tradition of collaborating with some of the hottest names on the Danish music scene, and her new single ‘Never On Time’ is definitely no exception.

In the producer’s chair we find the 24-year-old pop star Alexander Oscar, who, in addition to having a credible solo career himself, can now also write ‘producer’ on his CV. MALU’s new single ‘Never On Time’ was both written and produced in collaboration with the massively streaming pop star.

The one that got away

“When I was heartbroken as a teenager, my mother always comforted me by saying that it’s all about timing. When I was younger it always sounded abstract to me, but today I completely understand what she meant. We always talk about finding the one and only, but in reality I think it’s just as much about the timing being just right before we dare to commit ourselves to a relationship and really believe in it », she says of the theme of the song.

The other day she told her friends about the new single, which is about a relationship that never came to fruition: « I realized that we all had ‘the one that got away’, so it’s a story that, I think, many can identify with », she says and smiles. A story of a relationship that never was because the timing for some reason was just never quite right.

« It’s a little too soon cause you’ve gotta figure out yourself // it’s a little too late cause now I am with somebody else // I should leave it all behind, cause I can never be on time with you », she sings on the opening lines of the energetic chorus, which is a little more pop than what we’ve heard from her her so far.

More pop than RnB

In April, MALU released the EP ‘Evergreen’, from which several of the singles received a lot of attention on Danish radio. A number of international blogs also praised her laid-back, tasteful vocals and songwriting.

“MALU’s music is a great option for a first dive into R&B. She will be gentle and make you discover the beauty and nuances of a very complex genre”, Good Because Danish wrote about the EP for instance.

Nevertheless, ‘Never On Time’ probably leans closer towards pure pop, although the elegant nuances in MALU’s understated vocals still reveal her origins in and love for the RnB genre.

With haunting choir voices, whipping drum rolls and a melody that instantly resonates with lovers of pop music, MALU kicks off the fall with the release of ‘Never On Time’.
