Chill | Rebekah Ignites Passion With Her Empowering Single “Poison”
Posted by VMan on February 23, 2019
“Poison” by Rebekah sends a powerful message with an equally as powerful beat behind it. It draws parallels between the self-indulgent nature of our global consumer society and it’s hindrance on humans to reach their full potential. A message and angle that is refreshingly direct and true in 2019. Rebekah’s focus on production in this single plays an equally strong role. The 80-esque drums and modern vocal effects – having an almost Foxes type influence – locks the pieces of the song together tightly creating a fitting flow.
Rebekah received praise from outlets like Clash Magazine, Nialler9, The Thin Air, has toured in the UK and Ireland, and has played along Koko at a sold out show. On the streaming from Reebekah flexes her strength with tens of thousands of streams under her belt and a music video that struck a cord with UK music fans. Rebekah has the pieces in her artist career well-oiled and running smart. One can expect more quality content from this soloist soon.

Posted by VMan on February 22, 2019
It’s hard to find the right words to categorize the atmosphere, theme, and message that “Broken (feat. Sky Roses)” bestows on the first listen. The single envelopes elements of a pop track with several influences in between – sprinkled high-hats, electric guitar, heavy-overarching percussion all finding their way in into the fluid nature of this track. The single delivering a more meaningful spirit no just through the vocal verses here but just as much through the drama that surrounds the listener via instrumentation. The track delivers a trending sentimental sound that feels very original, minus alot of noise you may find in other tracks.

Apollo LTD are a bubbling band out of Nashville who released this angelic record “Heaven” fairly recently and the more I watch the video the more emotional I get. I really think these dudes have an extremely bright future ahead of themselves if they stay in this lane of alt-pop. They’re sort of like a more talented version of Imagine Dragons. Watch Apollo LTD’s video for “Heaven (All Around You)” above now.
