Albums | Kimezaa Shares New Single “Young Boy”
Posted by VMan on September 1, 2022
Kimezaa is a performer, producer, songwriter and poet coming all the way from Burundi by way of Montreal, Canada. His music is inspired by a legendary yet eclectic mix of artists such as Sade, The Weeknd, Bob Marley, Beach House and Kurt Cobain which you can tell on his latest single, “Young Boy”. While it is, genre wise, primarily an alt hip-hop / alt r&b song track it still dabbles into other soundscapes and spaces that make it more genre-less. Read a quote from Kimezaa on the new release below now and stream “Young Boy above!
“‘Young Boy’ is about the adolescent child with ambitions to be greater than their current circumstance. This song is for the people who will do anything to make their life better. It was inspired by events that have transpired in my life. Once I heard the instrumental, it brought me to a reflective place in which the hard times (like being homeless) began occupying my thoughts. This song is me at my most vulnerable state of being.” – Kimezaa

Feloneye is a Berlin-based rapper and singer on the come up who actively fuses together hip-hop, pop and trap.

“My inspiration on this track is an example of my life – like I’m a rockstar but I don‘t want to grow up. Been traveling all around the world living that life. I was in the studio with producer THEPLUGPABLO, and he opened up the sample that was orchestrated by rizzo8, who is an RIAA Platinum sample maker. We were really feeling the vibe so THEPLUGPABLO and me came up with the melody, then I wrote the hook, laid down the verse, and he was like, ‘Yo my mate Staccz in New York would sound crazy on this one.’ That’s how the feature came into existence. Upon coming to New York, we went crazy shooting the video – it’s a whole movie. Staccz gave us the whole New York experience!”

Albums | BARRON Taps Into Porter Robinson & Odesza’s Lane on “Feel Love”
Posted by VMan on August 21, 2022
BARRON is shaping up to be one of my favorite up-and-comers on the rise. The Nashville, TN based talent is clearly influenced by the likes of Porter Robinson, Odesza and other producers in that space who create emotionally evoking electronica and he is on to something here with this project, specifically this new track “Feel Love”. It’s well worth diving in to, so do yourself a favor and keep a tab on this dude. Check out “Feel Love” by BARRON above now and read a quote from him on the release below!
‘Feel Love’ is a unique track for me in that it’s more upbeat and dance-able than my previous releases. It could definitely be classified as a house track which is a genre I don’t normally write, but I enjoyed the experience of meshing my more euphoric/melodic sound with a style that you would normally hear at a night out at a bar or club. It definitely opened up a world to me that I plan to revisit again in the future.” – BARRON
