Charli shares her new single « Little Love »

Charli

New single « Little Love »

Spotify

Entitled « Little Love », the song is about loneliness and a cry for help. Charli confides, « I wrote it when I really thought that nobody loved me, and that feeling was deep – it was like I was screaming with my last breath that I was here and that I needed help. » Featuring a stripped back melody and warm, intimate vocals, the song is a confessional diary that inspires empathy and togetherness.

When I was in France, everybody called me Charly Gee. I was this singer-songwriter, super creative and powerful who is hiding by collaborating with different persons ( 96 records, The ware, Jule Aston as Anoï, Feard and so much more…). After fighting with myself to understand who I was, I realized that my dreams were somewhere else: In LA.

It’s a new beginning, a new adventure, a new chapter, and a new name. Music helped me to be the woman I am now. Doing music and writing what I feel, and also writing what I want to be, helped me to overcome all the difficulties. I want to help others to feel as powerful and happy as I am now. Never forget that you deserve to be happy!

So here I am: My name is Charli, I’m an Indie pop artist based in Los Angeles. As an artist, I love to play with the 60s and the 80s to do my own sound.

Music helps me to express myself on many levels. It’s a puzzle between my emotions, the music, and the words, if you’re good enough and if you know what you want to express it’s magical! I was raised with the music of Anastacia, Alicia Keys, Michael Jackson, Nina Simone, and Destiny’s child. I admire them a lot and I am inspired by them a lot too.

MORFINE présente son premier album ‘Blinding Nights’

MORFINE

PREMIER ALBUM ‘BLINDING NIGHTS’

DISPONIBLE

– UNDERSCOPE –

Après la sortie de son single ‘Crédo’, accompagné d’un clip, Morfine dévoile son premier album ‘Blinding Nights’ ce mercredi 14 avril.

Toujours dans une ambiance expérimentale aux effets électro-futuristes, elle nous transporte dans un univers ou l’obscure côtoie le lumineux.

Imprévisibles, sombres, rêveurs, les paysages sonores de Morfine nous plongent dans l’intimité de ses expérimentations. Son approche singulière des voix et des harmonies, combinée aux effets futuristes qu’elle affectionne participent à repenser les frontières entre pop et musique électronique. Mais aussi à tisser des mondes illuminés de joies et de peines, qui n’auraient de limites que l’imagination.

C’est dans le Sud de la France qu’Estelle Morfin découvre très jeune le piano, puis le clavecin et la musique de chambre au Conservatoire de Nice. En parallèle de cette formation classique, elle est déjà captivée par les synthétiseurs et la production. C’est en arrivant à Paris en 2013, alors que la ville est en pleine renaissance artistique, qu’elle peut enfin nourrir pleinement ses compositions et sa passion grandissante pour l’électronique.

Après plusieurs remixes et premiers morceaux, le projet Morfine voit le jour, suivi par un premier EP AOTH (Affairs Of The Heart) sur le label Goldmin en 2015. Après un bel accueil critique, elle multiplie les dates à Paris et ailleurs en France (I.Boat, Nova Mix Club…). En 2019, Morfine remporte le concours INASOUND organisé par le groupe de recherche INA-GRM et se voit décerner le premier prix par le parrain et juge de l’édition : l’incontournable Jean-Michel Jarre. C’est lors des mois suivant ce succès que Morfine compose Blinding Nights, son premier album, qui mélange textures expérimentales et influences pop, et qui reflète, tant par les paroles que son style, ses expériences personnelles.

Mais Morfine a plusieurs vies : après des études en littérature, arts plastiques et en musicologie, elle écrit aussi pour la presse spécialisée musique et développe son autre projet musical, Roman Delore, davantage tourné vers l’ambient, la techno et la musique expérimentale. Productrice de plusieurs EPs, résidente sur la radio Rinse France avec une émission mensuelle, elle compte parmi les membres actifs de la scène parisienne underground.

Francesca Louise shares her new single “Second Time”

Francesca Louise

New single “Second Time”

Spotify

“Second Time” is a song which covers the emotions and life lessons that we all experience, through storytelling lyrics and a rooted narrative.

Francesca Louise is an indie/folk singer-songwriter, who’s soulful, Carole King inspired vocals paired with songwriting influences from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Lucy Rose, Flyte and The Staves, makes this artist one to watch.

Following the release of “For Michael”, Louise unveils “Second Time” a song which covers the emotions and life lessons that we all experience, through storytelling lyrics and a rooted narrative. “Second Time” is a song about not giving up, not losing faith and realising that an end doesn’t always mean the definition of the word, it can just mean not now. The songwriter shares, “The characters in this particular story are fictional, but the concept and the events that I’m talking about happen to us all. Of course I metaphorically describe this in love, but it could be portrayed as many other aspects of life, career, family, friends, personal life goals.”

Written during a period of angst in both the songwriter’s career and personal life, the stunning lyricism proves how her songwriting is her way of healing and creating rational reason for things happening in her life at the time. Doused with sincerity and painting with no outline, her music allows for further imagination and potential, as her thought-provoking words dance atop organic instrumentation, delivering an overall raw and unfiltered atmosphere. The musician confides, “It lends itself to the security and privacy of your own safe space and encourages you to find comfort in the lyrics.”

BBC Introducing stations across the U.K, independent radio stations alike and radio, magazine and podcasts in U.S.A have shown huge support towards Louise’s career, especially since her latest release. Louise’s songwriting ability is catching the attention of industry known producers and other established songwriters that are active in today’s industry.

Robin Foster présente son nouvel Album « PenInsular III »

ROBIN FOSTER

NOUVEL ALBUM

 » PenInsular III »

Après quelques albums parus en format digital, alors que dehors le monde tourne au ralenti à cause de la pandémie, Robin Foster retourne en studio, seul, tel un naufragé sur une île déserte. De cet isolement “insulaire” naît l’album

PenInsular III

, dernière pierre d’une œuvre en trois mouvements commencée il y a 9 ans. Tous les éléments qui font la signature de Robin Foster y sont plus présents que jamais : mélodies suspendues dans le temps, plongées en abimes, atmosphères de bout du monde… et toujours avec cette même force dans la composition, capable de dégager un profond sentiment d’apaisement et de sérénité. Il s’agit là certainement du disque le plus introspectif et personnel de Robin Foster, une invitation à voir le crépuscule d’une époque – ou l’aube d’une nouvelle. Et sans doute les deux ;

Dernier volet de sa trilogie dédiée à sa terre d’adoption – la presqu’île de Crozon

– PenInsular III

sort aujourd’hui sur le label M/2L

Hommage pudique et témoignage vibrant,

Herr Kut !

aborde la résilience d’un ami proche face à la maladie. Sourire en pleurant, pleurer en souriant, comme un antagonisme furieux d’exister, une déclaration de vie plutôt qu’une déclaration de guerre. Campé dans son Finistère, son île refuge, Robin Foster prouve une nouvelle fois que la lumière peut parfois briser les ténèbres.

Laissons là entrer.

Dans les volutes tantôt subtiles tantôt puissantes où ondule le « post-rock cinématique » de Robin Foster, des influences se distinguent par petites touches : Talk Talk, Sigur Ros, New Order, Ennio Morricone, les images de Michael Mann et David Lynch.

Le cinéma occupe une place de choix dans la B.O. personnelle de Robin Foster, aussi en retrouve-t-on naturellement la marque dans ses musiques, aussi bien dans ses albums que dans ses compositions au générique de films, séries comme récemment Criminal sur Netflix (2019) ou encore Truth Seekers sur Amazon Prime (2020), ainsi que dans des publicités pour des marques prestigieuses (Cartier, Hugo Boss…).

Josia présente son nouveau clip « Rythme 0 »

Josia

Nouveau clip « Rythme 0 »

Après son grand retour sur « Les Affaires », Josia poursuit son voyage introspectif dans « Rythme 0 ». Sur ce morceau, les mélodies entêtantes mêlées à la production planante renforcent la direction artistique pop cloud empruntée par l’artiste.

Dans « Rythme 0 », Josia s’interroge sur les fragilités et les échecs que l’on garde en nous. Pour se faire, il s’inspire de l’œuvre du même nom (Rythm 0) de l’artiste serbe Marina Abramović, une performance réalisée en 1974 qui questionne sur l’humanité, la morale, le contrôle, la violence…

Le clip, réalisé par Studio 96, est un clin d’œil direct à cette œuvre et permet d’apprécier l’univers que Josia construit pour son prochain album.

Fasciné par la chanson française et la pop, Josia, multi-instrumentiste (trompette, guitare, batterie, MAO…) décide d’emménager à Paris en 2018.

Il sort alors son premier EP de 8 titres « LEMNA ». Ce projet bercé de sonorités pop/urbaines, planantes, lui permet de travailler avec des artistes confirmés de la scène francophone tels que Georgio, ou encore Némir.

Son grain de voix singulier et enraillé reflète le doux-amer de son univers. Il aime explorer des thématiques personnelles et introspectives. La quête de soi et l’espoir sont des sujets omniprésents dans ses textes.

Flyght Club shares his new “Different Side of Me”

Flyght Club

New single “Different Side of Me”

Spotify

“Different Side of Me” is the result of the artist experimenting with fusing distorted guitar riffs and psychedelic rock elements with modern trap drums and 808s, creating a unique and fresh rock sound.

Flyght Club is the contemporary musical project of Indian artist Shauvik Sharan. Having moved to Los Angeles to pursue his music career, Flyght Club’s music demonstrates his extreme versatility, exploring a multitude of genres and themes, with every song being made to cater to different moods and emotions, essentially leaving him unchained from the boundaries of musical genres.

Originally from Pune, India, Sharan grew up on classic rock artists such as Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton and Pink Floyd, all of which contributed to his strong foundation in music and inspired him to pick up and master the guitar. His time spent in Los Angeles allowed him to master the art of production and engineering, as well as singing and songwriting, shaping him as the artist he is today.

His latest single “Different Side of Me” is the result of the artist experimenting with fusing distorted guitar riffs and psychedelic rock elements with modern trap drums and 808s, creating a unique and fresh rock sound. A kaleidoscope of textures and instruments, the track continuously switches between soft, floaty, twinkling arrangements to a more dark, gritty and aggressive side. Along with combining two different musical genres, Sharan also emphasizes this idea of duality through the narrative of the song, which speaks about the contrasting sides we all have to ourselves. He shares, “I wanted to bring forth an attempt to identify and acknowledge how we all have a dark side within us and it’s just a part of being human and how sometimes circumstances and situations force the dark side to take over and lead to actions we later regret.”

The accompanying music video once again stays true to the idea of bringing together two worlds, emitting a dark yet slightly comedic experience. The musician explains, “I wanted the concept of duality to follow through on the video too and wanted to show my good side having a meal with my bad side and eventually my bad side corrupting the good and taking over. Together with a super hectic day of shooting, we were able to pull off my idea and got to play around with video tricks to cast me in double and triple roles.”

With an ever-growing fanbase, Flyght Club has performed at prestigious venues across Los Angeles and continues to forge ahead with 2022 set to be a promising year.

Michèle Ducray shares her new single « Manifesto »

Michèle Ducray

New single « Manifesto »

Spotify

Entitled « ‘Manifesto’ the track is a pop-infused horror story about a serial killer chasing a victim, who might not be such a victim after all,” reveals Ducray. The daring single highlights Ducray’s vocal prowess soaring over pulsating euphoric EDM-infused beats. The thrilling story is one that the listener sees unfold, switching their perceptions on right and wrong.

New Zealand based dark pop artist Michèle Ducray creates spellbinding songs about fantasy intertwined with the mystical. Inspired by mysterious and sinister themes such as horror and the colorful characteristics of circus life, Ducray’s songs are laced with vivid imagery and suspenseful storylines.

Ducray’s musical influences include Pavarotti and Ladysmith Black Mambazo, reminiscent of her early childhood. Her sound is “haunted pop,” characterized by a mix of intoxicating vocals, deep drum & bass, and lucid pop melodies for a melancholic yet energetically upbeat immersion of seductive tones. When she creates music, Ducray visualizes fantastical scenarios, utilising metaphorical subconscious imagery. A self-confessed « fan of the peculiar », this, perhaps, is best demonstrated through her enigmatic « Peter Pan » style on stage.

Raised in both South Africa and China, Michèle Ducray emerged from a culturally diverse childhood and discovered her immense affinity for music at the very young age of eleven. By the time she was just fifteen years old, the artist realized her raw talent for songwriting while in a recording studio in ChristChurch New Zealand and decided to further her studies at a local jazz institution for formal training. From there, her music career took off, and she began writing, recording and playing shows in both New Zealand and Australia.

Michèle Ducray’s single “Midnight,” released in 2021, is an enthralling slow-burned existential dark pop debut. Written during the COVID-19 lockdown period, this hauntingly, majestic piece tells a tale of tragedy and the awareness of how isolated one can feel in times of uncertainty. Working with famed producers Simon Gooding (Hailee Steinfeld, Shapeshifter) and Devin Abrams (P!nk, Dua Lipa), “Midnight” features vast cinematic soundscapes under Ducray’s signature hypnotic soulful vocals. The track received critical acclaim being added to heavy rotation on New Zealand’s most powerful radio stations.

The artist’s upcoming single “Manifesto” is “a pop-infused horror story about a serial killer chasing a victim, who might not be such a victim after all,” reveals Ducray. The daring track highlights Ducray’s vocal prowess soaring over pulsating euphoric EDM-infused beats. The thrilling story is one that the listener sees unfold, switching their perceptions on right and wrong.

Finding success performing at major festivals including Rolling Meadows, Soundsplash and Electric Avenue, Michèle Ducray is one of New Zealand’s most exciting rising artists. With “Manifesto” set for release April 8th, Ducray is bringing her unique and captivating brand of dark pop to the world.

SYTË share their new single “Where Did the Love Go”

SYTË

New single “Where Did the Love Go”

Spotify

“Where Did the Love Go” features sultry-hued vocals, a funk-driven bassline, twinkling keys and groove-laden percussion, resulting in this vibrant, yet sonically textured track.

Fusing pop-perfect hooks with a laid back indie style, SYTË (meaning « eyes » in Albanian) are making their mark in the alt-pop scene. Based in New York, the group has an abundant blend of musical backgrounds, with elements of R&B, pop, indie, metal and Jazz, creating a sound and vibe that transcends genre, geography, age and gender.

The group initially formed when vocalist Nita Kaja was visiting her family’s hometown of Prishtina, Kosovo and met future partner and band mate Drin Tashi. Falling deeply in love with the free-spirited and alternative lifestyle of the city, and being surrounded by a thriving and youthful music scene, Kaja felt inspired to create her own music, forming a duo with Tashi in 2018, before teaming up with drummer Granit Havolli and bassist Fatlind Ferati; evolving into the four-piece band we know today.

The new single “Where Did the Love Go” was written after three long months of isolation. Feeling disconnected from the world and missing out on a European tour due to the pandemic, Kaja penned the lyrics after finally reuniting with a friend, causing a burst of inspiration and the creation of this soulful tune. The sultry-hued vocals are a perfect complement to the funk-driven bassline, twinkling keys and groove-laden percussion, resulting in this vibrant, yet sonically textured track.

Hoping to encourage people to express their seemingly-niche emotions, the band write music about acknowledging and navigating through destructive thoughts and patterns. Wanting to see popular music shift to a more introspective and intentional place, the band expressed, “Documenting these overlooked emotions can help bring humanity together and highlight how much more similar we are to one another than we think”.

Known for their electrifying performances, SYTË have already played a number of well-known festivals including Pop Kultur Festival, Localize Festival and Sunny Hill Festival, where they opened for powerhouses like Dua Lipa, Action Bronson and Martin Garrix. Returning to New York City to work on new music and grow as artists, and with nods from publications such as

i-D, Noizz.d

and

The Line of Best Fit,

the band are in for a swell of a season!
