Chill | “Down” by Mokita is a Shape-shifting Original Single
Posted by VMan on September 5, 2020
Raised in a small town in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley, and, later, western North Carolina, Mokita — born John-Luke Carter — took to music at a young age, beginning 13 years of classical piano lessons at age six, before picking up the guitar and trying his hand at songwriting as a teen. Relocating to Nashville after college, John-Luke took on the Mokita moniker, a name adopted from Kivila, a language native to Papua New Guinea. The word Mokita roughly translates to “the truth we all know but don’t talk about,” and it’s that sentiment that has always informed Carter’s approach to songwriting, exploring themes like depression, anxiety, the joy and stress and uncertainty of budding and fading relationships, and other personal themes, all in ways we all too often feel but rarely so truthfully articulate. His latest offering is “Down”, a slow-burning sadly yet eventually upbeat single that will have you clicking play a few times back to back. I’m really ready for a full blown album via Mokita, every single I’ve heard has been great and had some real replay value. Check it out above now!
Alternative, Chill | Chaz Cardigan Gets Honest on “Middle of the Ground”
Posted by VMan on August 22, 2020
“‘Middle of the Road’ came from ruminating on what my life would’ve been like if I’d stayed in my hometown, I realized I would’ve been miserable, stuck in a cycle of debt and probably addicted to something, pretending to be someone I’m not for the rest of my life.” said Chaz Cardigan on his dark new single “Middle of the Road”, the indie alternative track. I’ve re-listened to this one a handful of times and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon. The Nashville singer/songwriter keeps stepping it up and doesn’t look like he’ll be stopping anytime soon. Billboard has named Chaz as one of the main LGBTQ Artists to watch In 2020, so if this article doesn’t make you pay attention, their word should!
