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
Bass, Trap | Joyzu & Lilianna Wilde Unleash Chill Trap Laced Single “Famous”
Posted by VMan on December 9, 2017
The talented future bass duo Joyzu continue their musical evolution with the new single “Famous” featuring Lilianna Wilde. Providing a unique mixture of sounds throughout, Joyzu builds up from simplistic and stripped down vibe during the song’s verses to a layered and energetic hook. Meanwhile, Wilde’s lyrics describe how fame can corrupt anyone, even those closest to us. Comparing an unnamed one-time associate of hers to a mannequin, she pulls no punches with her words. “Famous” rises above the flood with meaning and subtance.
