Albums | Chaz Cardigan & The Gifted Connect For “Feels Like I Know You”
Posted by VMan on May 14, 2021
Nashville singer/songwriter Chaz Cardigan connects with L.A. based duo The Gifted for a feel-good new collaborative single called “Feels Like I Know You” that goes over a relatable topic that only some people are lucky enough to fully understand. The indie pop anthem proves once again that Chaz is a rising star in the alternative pop space and excites me for what’s next for his project. Read a quote from him on the meaning of “Feels Like I Know You” below and check out the track above now!
“Social media really nurtures this desire we all have to be seen, and to find intimacy with strangers. You see someone’s life in pieces every day on your feed, and your brain puts them all together, like, ‘yes, I know them, we’re close! Just yesterday they went for a drive to their parents’ place.’ We’re all guilty of becoming friends with people who have no clue we exist. “Feels Like I Know You” is about that disconnect between following someone at a distance everyday, and the easy, honest jump in logic to considering them a friend — or more. The weird consequence of everyone being a brand is that everyone, famous or not, we’ve all got these parasocial bonds with total strangers now; I really wanted to follow that idea to its extremity. Everybody’s a stranger, so no one’s a stranger; “1’s and 0’s, it’s just as real as skin”.” – Chaz Cardigan
Trap | RYDEN’s Sophmore Single “Ready” A Strong Follow Up To “Dear God”
Posted by VMan on November 7, 2016
RYDEN previously released her single “Dear God” a few weeks back, a single that had a deep message than most electronic music songs. This time she takes it a step further with ‘Ready”. A single completely created by her from start to finish. The actual sound of her voice is good in itself, making the lyrics easily insert itself into your brain. “Ready” is raw, gritty, tough, and gets more intense as the single progresses.
The orchestral aspects of the single are probably my favorite part, next to the drop, adding a nice little atmospheric that makes tune feel important.
RYDEN received a ton of support on his last single, “Ready” is set to go just as big if not bigger, stay tuned.
Future Trap | EGZOD and CROIX’s “Need You Forever” Delivers On Epic Future Bass
Posted by VMan on November 3, 2016
EGZOD and CROIX are a force to be reckoned with, they are also not the only duo involved in this release. Tribal Trap and Fated Records approved of the sound to an extent that they decided to team up on the single. With that said, “Need You Forever” delivers serious power add a satisfying, fluid rate.
“Need You Forever” delivers many classic future bass elements but in a construct, rhythm, and pattern that is just fresh and appealing to the brain.
Just when you think the song delivered everything it could, the second drop hits in just takes it to that epic, euphoric, “you’ve dropped everything and been fully absorbed by the track” feeling – damn that’s nice.
The two elements that EGZOD and CROIX have in common are that they both produce a wide spectrum of sounds, but have a common thread that you can sense between them all, the two together was a nice experiment that played out just right, definitely fusing the best to both artists here.

BANKS, one of the hottest vocalist vixens in the game right now, just released her latest single, “Brain,” produced by the musical magician Shlomo himself. A follow up to her absolutely stunning London EP, this track opens with her signature sultry sound, then proceeds to showcase her vocal versatility. If BANKS didn’t totally rock your world in 2013, then keep an eye out for her now because she’s about to make some serious waves. You can catch both Shlomo and BANKS on tour this spring.
