Chill, Indie | Florida’s Pagu Showcases Open-Ended Indie-Pop Style In “Tell Me”
Posted by VMan on November 4, 2020
Single “Tell Me” brings together many popular music elements and arranges it in smooth way, the edge built-in giving it a certain ‘pop’ that grabs and holds the ear.
A trait of the Florida Panhandle displayed is his seeming skill to sort-of juggle all the right elements creatively and funnel it down into something distinct and his style, “Tell Me” being one of many singles that feels rendered through a frame such as this.
With genres such as indie-pop/electronic being inspirations, equipped with a sense of modern online culture, and a unique balance music/tech/graphic design skill at his side – Pagu doesn’t leave anything off the table when it comes to what may play into his music and releases.
“‘Tell Me” is about finding purpose and meaning in life. My friends and I are personally sick and tired of being forced to be distracted and stuck in ‘going through the motions’ mode. The song was made in this mindset and sort of rebels against those ideas.”
– Pagu (Jonah Tatum)
Social and streaming channels shows Pagu is hitting some high marks, future success thresholds of his career are more than likely nearer than what appears.
“Tell Me” can be heard in full above.

Having stayed really consistent this year, while showcasing his unique knack for combining electronic with orchestral elements in his music, producer Mel Ody is stepping out of his comfort zone once again, teaming up with charismatic German vocalist Dominic Donner for “One To Blame.”
An irresistible, indie-flavoured tune with hints of electronic and pop, “One To Blame” is out via tastemaker label CloudKid. Driven by a minimal guitar riff and punchy yet organic percussion, Mel Ody’s instrumental leaves the perfect space for Dominic Donner’s captivating voice to shine, a result that is as intricate as it is infectious.
“‘One To Blame’ was a real challenge for me, but I’m always looking to get out of my comfort zone as a producer,” revealed Mel Ody. “When I was making the instrumental, I was hearing this kind of indie-pop song in my head that had this orchestral-electronic flair to it, and I love how it turned out. Dominic Donner’s vocal tone and lyrical content took it to the next level, I couldn’t have found a better person than him so I’m really happy we connected so well and brought this tune to life.”
