After the massive, multi-continent, two-year-long “Eras Tour,” Taylor Swift is taking a much-needed break from touring. When discussing her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, on BBC Radio 1 with Greg James this morning, Swift immediately shut down the possibility of touring behind the record. “Do you have the itch for another something soon?,” James asked in reference to another outing. “No,” Swift said (swiftly?). “No, I’m just gonna be really honest with you, I am so tired when I think about doing it again. Because I want to do it really well… again. You know?” So while there may…
Green Day are celebrating the 25th anniversary of their sixth album, Warning, with a super deluxe 25th anniversary edition featuring 49 tracks. The robust box set and other configurations will be released on November 14th. Warning was released 25 years ago today (October 3rd), and features the singles “Warning,” “Waiting,” and the fan favorite “Minority,” which still stands as one of Green Day’s finest tracks. The album saw Billie Joe Armstrong and company stripping down their raucous punk sound in favor of a quieter vibe. In addition to remastered versions of the album’s original 12 tracks, the super deluxe box…
This is the kind of electronic music I absolutely love. Italian producer Kawari – the newcomer, discovered by Parra for Cuva, and who now releases on the Fejká Coexist label, returns to our feed. His single “Kali” got a majestic rework by Barcelona duo PALLADIAN, who turned the song into an out-of-this-world electronic experience, finely balancing melancholy with uplifting energy. PALLADIAN have tastefully blended deep melodic piano, subtle vocal lines, and a Kalimba with pulsating, punchy beatwork. Understandably, Kawari & PALLADIAN joined Fejká on his EU tour – it’s a dream team that can’t go wrong. posted by Nasko 27…
I found about Elle Eliades in 2021, with her & R.L. KING’s “You”. Today, the Melbourne-born, LA-based singer is back with a new r&b single, called “One Last Time”. The song is about that “bittersweet space between holding on and letting go” – something a lot of us can relate to. Staying true to her slow-burner aesthetics, Elle will melt your every cell with her silky vocals, deep beatwork, dreamy guitars & hazy synths. Her debut EP is just around the corner, so keep an eye out. posted by Nasko 12 min ago Source link
PIANIKA has finally unveiled her lush, introspective new EP Lune, with the title track serving as the centerpiece for listeners to intentionally ground themselves into their inner world. The New Zealand-based composer and producer has built a catalog that offers a haven for those in search of tranquility and peace of mind. “Lune” beautifully captures that sentiment too with it’s delicate piano presence and dreamy pads floating across the mix. The overall melodic arrangement and progression acquaints us with a sense of hope, gradually unfolding like light breaking through clouds. I can’t neglect to mention the role of the subdued…
In 2021, we introduced you to K.ZIA’s “I Got Your Back”, then earlier this year, the Brussels-born, Berlin-based singer unveiled a marvelous joint EP TWIN FLAME, with UK’s Sedric Perry. Today, she’s back with “I Got Your Back II”, out via Vokall Records. The new rendition of K.ZIA’s tune features Belgian rapper with Senegalese roots K1D. The song is about “always being there for your soulmate, through both good times and hardships” and tastefully blends r&b/neo-soul with hip-hop. You’ll get sucked into the smooth but uplifting groove, warm keys, honey vocals & captivating flow – where both artists intertwine so…
HNNY is an enigma and I absolutely love that about him. Given the fact how much I love his music and his prevalence in my collection, I know very little about the Swedish producer and DJ and I’ve come to terms with that. It adds the perfect layer of mystery to his music, which I usually describe as healing electronica. It reminds me of our label artist PIANIKA and it’s the kind of music that elevates your soul and patches every rapture in your heart for a short, but extremely blissful moment. With a cryptic title as “⋆.✩ ࣪₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧”, I…
Loves of crazy drum patters, insane brass grooves and energy that will add an insane amout of flavour to your Fridays, thanks to our brand new label release with producer, multi-instrumentalist and all-round amazing human being Vladislav Michev AKA VLADKO. If musicianship had to be described in the form of a sound, then I’ll probably have to pick “NEON BEETLE” because this &*$# sounds insane. Jazz, funk, and anything in-between, perfectly tied together thanks to some of the most talented musicians in the genre out there. VLADKO isn’t walking this sonic path alone. Major thanks to drummer Nikolay Danev, who…
Taylor Swift has released her new album, The Life of a Showgirl, and on the track “Actually Romantic,” she seemingly takes aim at Charli XCX. The origins of their apparent “beef” began last year when Charli XCX released her acclaimed album Brat, which featured the song “Sympathy is a knife.” While not explicitly referencing Swift (or really a “diss track,” at that), the song captures Charli XCX expressing her anxiety towards an unnamed woman, singing “This one girl taps my insecurities” and later “Don’t want to see her backstage at my boyfriend’s show/ Fingers crossed behind my back, I hope…
It’s the next best thing to catching a surprise Foo Fighters show. Dave Grohl and company have a shared a new live album, Foo Fighters – Are Playing Where ??? Vol. 1, for this week’s Bandcamp Friday. The album is made up of “absolutely ripping live tracks recorded in front of dozens, possibly hundreds of lucky fans at the band’s recent surprise club gigs,” according to a press release.
