Indie | Casper Sun Makes his Descent Upon Earth with “Wavy Luv”
Posted by VMan on June 18, 2021
An otherworldly figure making his descent upon Earth, Casper Sun‘s scope isn’t bound to one singular universe. Transcending the confines of planetary restrictions, Casper Sun now excitedly unveils “Wavy Luv,” the lead single from his highly immersive debut LP Sunshine Radio.
A lead single rooted in acknowledging that what one needs is different than what one wants, “Wavy Luv” is an ode to introspection. Fusing indie instrumentation with a compelling vocal blend of hip-hop and R&B, Casper Sun’s single is a nuanced amalgamation of classic styles. Showcasing an impressive mastery of genre-blending techniques, “Wavy Luv” is Casper Sun at his outright best. Singing from the heart, the ethereal creative chronicles a tale of self-desire and passion with an emphasis on treating oneself with unconditional kindness. Speaking on his album’s lead single, Casper Sun says the following: “I know how it feels to get something you’ve wanted for so long, and realize in the end that it’s not what you need. I wrote a story about Casper coming to terms that what he needs is different than what he wants, and the rest of the album explores what those needs are, and how they battle with his passion and desires.”

Alternative | LA Parties Unveils Impressive Debut Single “LA Parties”
Posted by VMan on March 19, 2021
“LA Parties” is a song about looking at the ‘Instagram life’ – what we see on TV and social media – and discerning it as fake. It was written amidst chaos as LA Parties (real name Andy Gorel) was enduring during a very difficult and depressed period of his life. The breakout artist had just turned 20 years old, and had mangled his hand in an accident – leaving him to believe he’d never play music again. “I struggled greatly with how this visual world we live in would see me, and the prospect of not being able to pursue my greatest passion, music,” says Gorel.
That was in September 2017. Gorel spent every moment he could, re-learning how to play the guitar. By March 2018, he had miraculously recovered enough to write “LA Parties” alone in his West Philadelphia apartment. It began with the simple guitar part heard in the intro. Coming off of a booze-packed, party weekend full of new friends and new crush, “LA Parties” came to fruition.
Hitting the ground running, “LA Parties” is the wondrous debut single from LA Parties. A hard-hitting alternative rock single tailor-made for the 2020s, LA Parties is an artist you’re going to want to keep an eye on.
