Alternative, Pop | Martin Weston Releases “Loose Knit Heart”
Posted by VMan on August 22, 2021
Martin Weston isn’t your everyday singer-songwriter. The up-and-coming London based musician possesses a potent motion in his storytelling with folk music running through his veins from a young age. His latest offering “Loose Knit Heart” has elements of acousitc, folk, and pop blended together which reminded me a lot of early 2000’s music in this space like Jack Johnson or Ben Harper. This track few on me a ton and well worth it. Martin explains the meaning behind “Loose Knit Heart’’ below. Stream the song above now.
“I wrote Loose Knit Heart after fully realising how brilliant a thing the perfectly crafted pop song is. Loose Knit Heart is my attempt at something along those lines, trying to add catchy hooks and melodies everywhere I could.
It’s an acoustic singer-songwriter, collaborating with an experimental electronic music producer called Tom Arniel. I came along with an acoustic pop song and he added a really textural groove by recording pots and pans in his kitchen. Making it was so fun.”
Albums | Halfofyou Gets Playful via “Diablita”
Posted by VMan on December 15, 2020
Cuban bred artist Halfofyou returns with his latest single “Diablita.” The single is a genre-blending vibe that molds sounds of reggaetón, hip-hop, and a touch of electronic into a groovy sounding banger. Carrying a slick rythmic beat and bold flair that is full of flavor, this is a great introduction to the upcoming artists music. Check out a quote below now from Halfofyou on the track and listen to it above now!
“”Diablita” was my first ever attempt at making a reggaetón beat, shortly after releasing ‘Por Ti’ on platforms. I was listening to a lot of Ozuna and Bad Bunny to get inspired and that’s what came out.” – Halfofyou
Alternative, Pop | Conal Kelly Drops”Control”
Posted by VMan on December 6, 2020
Bristol, UK based Conal Kelly releases his new track, “Control.” With shimmering synths, dynamic percussion and a grooving bass providing an already irresistible soundscape, the song grows even more magnetic on its outro. Conal is a new name to me but I was blown away by this new single. Check out “Control” above now and read a quote from Mr. Kelly below now!
“The writing/recording of this song was the most I have ever consciously pushed myself out of my comfort zone… it can sometimes be easy to find yourself a little boxed in when you’re writing and recording/mixing every part of a track, but this was my most determined attempt to break away from the habits I’d formed. The whole thing took a couple of months to complete, but the finished track is something I’m really proud of and can hopefully show some diversity in my songwriting! The vocal part really drives the song in my opinion…this is also the first time an outro has been my favourite aspect of a song I’ve written, I love that ending vocal hook.” – Conal Kelly
Progressive House | Michael Jackson – Love Never Felt So Good (Fedde Le Grand remix)
Posted by Mel on May 19, 2014
Today is the day that Fedde Le Grand’s remix for “Love Never Felt So Good”, the lead single off MJ’s recently released album is out and it is, perhaps surprisingly, pretty good. The chorus is the only part of the vocals retained and has been paired with an anthemic piano, strings and drop. The Youtube comments are not overly positive towards this remix, with their main criticism being, at least from what I can gather, that it sucks. The Soundcloud comments are more positive however, so it seems like you’ll either love this song or hate it. Thinking it is just okay is also a possibility. Whatever your opinion may be of this track, an official progressive house remix of Michael Jackson is clearly an attempt to make him popular with the younger generation and that can only be a good thing right? Probably.
