Apryll Aileen shares her new single “Catch Me”

Apryll Aileen

New single “Catch Me”

Atlantic Canadian pop singer-songwriter, Apryll Aileen has released her new single “Catch Me” , from her upcoming album “Bad Things”. What began as a sultry jazzy piano song, has turned into a full on electro-pop hit that could rival soundtracks from any of the most recent James Bond films.

The chorus lyrics “I walk a lonely road, oh so far from home, cause I can’t let ‘em catch me” leaves the listener wondering who she’s truly on the run from. Is she a spy or is she running from commitment, they may ask, as she taunts both lovers and villains to catch her as she sets sail onto the next journey, in pursuit of her mission.

The video was shot & directed by Ginevra Syperek (“This Hour Has 22 Minutes”) and drone operator Michael Smith of Flying Fish Halifax. The video features Aileen sailing a catamaran, getting alongside the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) – the lead ship of her class of United States Navy aircraft carriers, on its maiden deployment voyage outside of her home country, in the Halifax Harbour.

Apryll Aileen is a classically trained pianist with a touch of science & spirituality; an alt-pop soulful vocalist, guitarist and songwriter hailing from Atlantic Canada. Her next show is on Saturday, March 25th with award winning singer-songwriter Dave Carroll, at Yip Cider on the Kingston Peninsula in Southern New Brunswick. Tickets available here.

After a successful World Junior Hockey Championships show this year and a summer tour that had her performing at the legendary Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto, the Carleton in Halifax and headlining the stage at the 2022 Canada Games in Niagara Falls, Aileen is preparing for the upcoming release of her full album “Bad Things” in Spring 2023.

Guillaume Léglise présente son nouvel album « Auto Fictions »

Guillaume Léglise

Nouvel album Auto Fictions

Sortie le 14/03/2023 chez La Tebwa

En concert le 05/04/2023 au Popup du Label / Paris

Guillaume Léglise publie son premier album Auto Fictions le 14 mars 2023 sur le label La Tebwa avec deux invitées de choix, Cléa Vincent et Lisa Li-Lund.

Voici enfin ce musicien de l’ombre sous les feux des projecteurs après avoir oeuvré depuis des années dans le paysage de la pop indé française, que ce soit à la réalisation, production ou mixage de nombreux projets d’artistes…

Avec Guillaume Léglise, la chanson française est baignée d’influences pop 80’s et new wave. La sortie de l’album Auto Fictions marque pour ce producteur, compositeur et multi-instrumentiste l’aboutissement d’un travail d’écriture et production long de 4 ans.

Pour mettre en image Auto Fictions, Guillaume Léglise a imaginé avec le réalisateur Jérôme Walter Gueguen une

série vidéo

nous emmenant dans une course poursuite amoureuse au cœur de Madrid. «

Je voulais faire de chacune de mes chansons des récits scénarisés, des histoires de rencontres, de séparations, d’amours heureux ou contrariés. Chaque histoire pouvant se suffire à elle-même ou être écoutée comme un puzzle, se répondant les unes aux autres. Pour chaque titre j’ai cherché une orchestration et des sonorités qui bousculeraient le format « chanson française

»

 »

Une certaine idée de la variété à la française, convoquant ainsi un phrasé dandy, posé sur une composition synthétique, le tout porté par une basse obsédante

 » Les Inrockuptibles

Producteur, réalisateur, mixeur, remixeur notamment pour des artistes des labels Pan European Recording, Her Majesty’s Ship, Kwaidan, Icy Cold Records, La Tebwa, musicien muti-instrumentiste (au sein du groupe Vox Low), compositeur pour le théâtre (Philippe Calvario, Nicolas Kerszenbaum, Pauline Ribat) ou la danse contemporaine (Marjory Duprès, Aude Lachaise), Guillaume Léglise se réinvente au gré de ses multiples collaborations.

Son premier véritable album Auto Fictions paraît le 14 mars 2023 chez le label La Tebwa. Sur scène il est accompagné depuis deux ans à la basse et aux chœurs par Clémence Lasme qu’on a pu notamment voir sur scène accompagnant Pomme, Moodoïd… Seul maître à bord de son studio de Belleville, il compose une galerie de portraits, qu’il dévoile peu à peu en EPs aussi sensuels que conceptuels, mariant la musique de club aux mélodies limpides des dandys pop français (Serge Gainsbourg, Alain Chamfort, Philippe Chany), le français lettré à l’ivresse du noctambule, la poésie décadente à la langueur d’une after.

Après un EP qui convoquait d’éphémères rencontres amoureuses dans la torpeur urbaine des années 1980, puis Riviera, un EP estival, distillant une moite langueur synthétique, comme une idylle entre New Order et Metronomy, Guillaume Léglise annoncent ses Auto Fictions, un premier album accompagné d’un road movie de six vidéos à découvrir sur Youtube et en invités, Cléa Vincent et Lisa Li-Lund.

The band confides, « You know when you go to a party or really anything with crowds, and you have that sort of pit in your stomach because you don’t feel like you belong and you really just don’t to be there? That’s what loner is about — being in those situations and knowing you’re better off just sticking to your own corner and keeping to yourself. But, it’s also about someone walking into that party that sees you and gets you and feels the same way you do and you’re thinking, “i’d rather be alone, you’d rather be alone, should we alone together?” and all the sudden the thought of being with someone doesn’t seem so bad. »

New single « Addicted to Misery »

Spotify

Entitled « Addicted to Misery », the confessional indie rock meets folk-dipped pop single chronicles « a portrait of a time of feeling low, explored through a conversational journey. It’s about feeling powerless to help the one you love and the sense of spiraling through that feeling, » confides the songwriter.

« Addicted to Misery » is the first single off of her highly anticipated second full-length album set for release later this year. Nat Vazer has found success as a rising Australian artist who has received acclaim from the likes of

A self-taught guitarist, she stole her father’s guitar during highschool and started to learn Nirvana, The Strokes and Death Cab for Cutie based on internet guitar tabs. In true DIY fashion, she soon began writing songs in punk highschool bands, capturing early sounds on old PCs with built-in microphones and free software.

Mixed by Ali Chant (Soccer Mommy, PJ Harvey) and produced by Robert Muinos, the album features hit singles ‘For A Moment’ and ‘Higher Places’ as featured on Rolling Stone Australia.

Moonlight Jones shares his new single “I Like The Way”

Moonlight Jones

New single “I Like The Way”

Spotify

“I Like The Way” combines eerie notes of synth, dazzling beats, and supernatural vocals for a sonic vibe that is enticing to the point that you can’t pull away.

Written about a mysterious woman who catches the eye of Moonlight Jones and puts him in a trance, the single is centered around a captivating and darkly romantic narrative. Moonlight Jones admits, “The song is about a man-eater who gets whatever she wants, however she wants it.” The single draws together a dynamic team including Nino Valentino, Doug Emery, and the first ever recorded backup vocals from the iconic director David Rousseau (Pitbull, Jay Sean, Afrojack).

Moonlight Jones lends his unique perspective on genre to all his music. He’s received high acclaim from

Earmilk, Deco Drive, NBC’s 6 in The Mix and Great Day Live

to name a few. “I Like The Way” is his latest release combining influences of 80s darkwave with a pop twist for a track that’s sure to make waves.

Music has taken Moonlight Jones to many corners of the globe and from coast to coast in the United States. A self-taught guitarist, he was fascinated with how easily music could open up whole worlds of creativity and inspiration. He promptly learned as much as he could from every musician he knew in his hometown of Tampa, Florida and set off on his musical journey.

Born to an Egyptian father and an American mother of Czech heritage, MoonLight Jones’ introduction into the world of music was wide ranging and has influenced his musical style ever since. Latin, Middle Eastern and World music was always playing in MoonLight Jones’ household, as was Blues, Bluegrass, Asian, and Folk music.

The sound of the flamenco guitar in particular inspired him to move to Spain and learn as much as he could about the style while living and studying in Barcelona and Granada. Trips to Puerto Rico, Cuba and Colombia further opened up his world to the rich musical cultures of those countries and many others.

His professional music career started in Los Angeles, CA. His first job in L.A. was working for famed graphic designer Kyle Cooper, in Malibu. Shortly after, Jeff decided to pursue sound engineering to round out his growing musical experience. Whilst working with many local bands he got an opportunity to tour with the 100 Monkeys, which was “Twilight” alum Jackson Rathbone’s band and headlined shows at The Whiskey-A-Go Go, The Mint, The House of Blues on Sunset and The Viper Room, to name a few. He also produced hip-hop for The Jugernox, with Scott “The Scientist” Coslett and Jerry “J-Strong” Armstrong for artists like James Jr, a Memphis rapper and also H-Town rapper, Rock.

Moonlight Jones’ love of film music eventually landed him a job with Heitor Pereira, famed film composer, who had a studio at Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Studios in Santa Monica. Moonlight Jonesalso lived in Nashville, TN. where he plied his trade in Southern Rock band, Suthurn Swaggur, with the talented lead vocalist and lyricist, Joseph Dawson.

More recently, he moved back to Florida, this time to Miami, where he began working with local Haitian artists, Claude Cajuste of Gemini All-Stars fame, and rapper/singer Purple Gorilla. Together, they formed the group Echo N Dream and have played shows all over Miami.

In 2021, Moonlight Jones teamed up with International recording artist and producer Nino Valentino. Together they created a unique genre of music called « Cosmic Soul » which is a blend of Flamenco music, R&B and Rock. When asked why they chose the name « Cosmic Soul » Moonlight Jones responded, « Through our music we want to connect with our fans on a universal level, that’s what Cosmic Soul is all about. Connecting with each other using our music as the vehicle ». Moonlight Jones released his debut single, “Hot Night”, written by Moonlight Jones and produced by Nino Valentino and recorded at Mambo Cat Studios owned by Grammy-winning Trumpet Player Dante Vargas. The song also features the amazing vocals of Karina Iglesias, a Miami native and finalist on “The Voice” and was then mixed by Grammy winning engineer Sean Moffitt and mastered by Grammy winning engineer Joe LaPorta.

His second single in 2022, “Whatcha Doin To Me”, blends sensual, Latin-inspired undercurrents with vibrant electric guitar solos and captivating vocals. Directed by the iconic David Rousseau (Pitbull, Jay Sean, Afrojack) and his team at Doozy Films, the music video for “Whatcha Doin To Me” follows Moonlight Jones as he serenades a sultry stranger on a chance encounter train ride. The story takes place in France during 1954 and is shot in black and white film to suggest an air of classical romance. At the climax of the song, the film switches to color as Moonlight Jones pops a bottle of champagne and plays his silky-smooth electric guitar riff over a black-sequin dressed dancer. It is a seductive celebration highlighting Moonlight Jones’ vocal prowess and warm ambiance.

« I Like The Way » is Moonlight Jones’ third single, further showcasing his versatility as an artist.
