Electronic, Pop | CHYLD Hits with Latest Bop ‘Headache’
Posted by VMan on July 7, 2020
Following his breakout release “ANTIDOTE” with Mickey Darling, CHYLD is back with another genre-bending tune that is truly meant for all music lovers. “Headache” is a multi-faceted banger that brings about intense feelings of both hopelessness and reenergizing resolution, a dichotomy that only the most talented of virtuosos can portray.
The Boston-based multi-instrumentalist/producer utilizes touching guitar licks and buzzy synths for the first half of the song, allowing the sounds to constantly deconstruct one another but nevertheless falling into cadence without missing a beat. CHYLD’s emotive vocals complement the confusing but eerily familiar vibes of “Headache” and supply a much needed comfort that makes the track inescapable intimate.
Almost without warning, the syncopated guitar-based song transforms into a flutter of revitalizing synths that are complemented by an angelic voice that proclaims “It’s over my head”. The song then de-escalates into near-silence with the lyrics echoing in another voice, and before the dust can settle another wave of synths hit. The listener finds themself in a newly-constructed soundscape of crashing synths and it feels as though a tension has been lifted. The sentiments of hopelessness and loss are recycled and repurposed into a vivacious state of feeling. “Headache” truly is unique in that it really is a musical journey, developing and veering in different directions.

Posted by VMan on July 6, 2020
Following on the heels of the anonymous producer’s most recent single “Home,” Slow Magic looks to the horizon to begin his Closer 2 U journey with lead single “Somewhere” featuring Woven In Hiatus, produced with Shallou. “Somewhere” is out now via Moving Castle.
“Back when we were going on tour together, Joe (Shallou) sent me a work in progress of what this song started as. I thought it was a super great track and wanted to add my own touch. After the tour ended, we met up in LA and finished the song together. I’m super happy with how it turned out, especially the ending section, which makes me want to go run as fast as I can down a road and forget everything.” – Slow Magic
A blissful reentry into the mind of Slow Magic, “Somewhere” serves as a bustling testament to the producer’s strengths. Kicking off with buoyant staccato synth work, Slow Magic quickly unfurls into his illustrious effervescent sound. Woven In Hiatus’s coos crescendo into the mix as the pair carry on in sweet serenity. A track born on tour with Shallou, “Somewhere” is a hypnotizing treat riddled with deep repose.

Electronic | Mel Ody And Like Lions Unleash Ominous New Gem “Living With Ghosts”
Posted by VMan on July 3, 2020
Greek talent Mel Ody is back on tastemaker label Lacuna, enlisting frequent collaborator Like Lions for ominous cut “Living With Ghosts”. The two artists linked for the second time back in January to create “Oizys”, another dark gem that was named after the ancient Greek goddess of grief, anxiety and depression.
Their new collaboration undoubtedly displays a similarly dark theme. “Living With Ghosts” sees Mel Ody fully embrace his ability to incorporate orchestral elements into his music, creating a menacing instrumental that is as captivating as it is sinister. Electric guitar melodies, lively strings and massive brass stabs are brought together to create a truly dystopian soundscape, that is perfectly topped off by Like Lions’ distorted vocal lines; with his songwriting the Seattle-based singer and songwriter chooses to reflect on the long-lasting impacts of global crises and conflicts.
“Earlier this year, before the pandemic, there were other global tensions happening that had me looking back at some of the major crises that have been playing out around the world in my lifetime,” revealed Like Lions. “When I sat down to write lyrics for “Living With Ghosts”, the horns and the drums felt like a battle call and I wanted to use that energy and power to try and amplify some of the stories and sentiments about the effects of war and conflict that have been passed onto me by friends who spent time on front lines.”
Hip-Hop, Trap | GHOSTLUVME Drops ‘Reverend’ LP
Posted by VMan on July 1, 2020
Rapper, singer, songwriter and producer Clayton Lisy, also known as Ghostluvme, first fell in love with the sounds of music when he picked up a guitar at the age of ten. Born in Philadelphia and raised in Broward County, Florida, part of Lisy’s diverse taste in music can be attributed to having lived on both the East Coast and West Coast throughout his youth, before settling in Florida. Reverend is his new project and it has some real replay value from a fresh face on our radar. The hard hitting production showcases his lyricism and flows while keeping the energy high. Definitely keen on seeing what he has in store for us for the rest of 2020.
