 Los Angeles-based alt singer-songwriter NAKAYA shares her brand new EP, Fire Becomes Me (out now via Better Company Records). This new four-track project is about growth and resilience as it chronicles Nakaya’s journey towards self-acceptance.

Speaking on the EP, NAKAYA wrote: “Honestly, I started this project feeling completely directionless but what I found was that Fire Becomes Me became my source of healing. I would love to tie the theme up with a singular bow but life is not so linear so I will say that it chronicles a vast change. I always made frail attempts at controlling the way my life went, but in this record you can see me grow from a person who fought with circumstance to one that embraced a sense of acceptance through my experiences. I am mutating and growing and shifting and I think the work reflects that.”

Native Instruments parent company Soundwide announces artist board

Names like queen of R&B Alicia Keys, prolific mix engineer Ann Mincieli, and rapper  EL-P  have joined forces with Soundwide. This new music ecosystem was launched this week and is a platform for music producers and artists to make music without the hassle and minimal fuss of switching between apps. Musicians like  Alicia Keys form part of this artistic evolution with her role in the artist board, where she will give input and advice to the Soundwide team along with other industry professionals and artists on how to create a more sustainable brand.

This company and board were all conceptualized with the partnering of renowned music tech brands Native Instruments, iZotope, and more recently Plugin Alliance, Sound Stacks and Brainworx. All designed with unique functions, they all form and brand together to be part of this revolution of how artists can band together. 

The Soundwide CEO shared a public statement: “Going forward, we’re asking ourselves: ‘What do our community members need to tap into their ultimate creative workflow and how can we help get them there?.’ By first uncovering and understanding our community’s needs, we can map out our goals and move one step closer to the future of sound. Soundwide’s Artist Board provides a unique opportunity to offer up more seats at the table and collaborate with board members to bring new voices into the conversation.”

April 1, 2022 Producer jackLNDN shares ‘Perfect’ progressive house single

Producer jackLNDN shares ‘Perfect’ progressive house single

jackLNDN launches us into the weekend with rhythmic rolling beats and smooth lyrics. The producer is working his way into the more bluesy side of things with his latest release as he laments unrequited love and the bittersweet tones that encompass it. The single, released today via Jack’s House, is the artist’s second release for the year as the aptly named Return caught listener’s attention just last month.

‘Perfect’ on Spotify iTunes

The artist tells us about the inspiration behind his latest song: “This song is about dating the perfect woman only for her to end up choosing someone else. The emotions that come from rejection and the helplessness of realizing that there’s nothing you can do. I tried to make the song musically & harmonically as beautiful as the person that inspired it. There’s a touch of melancholic self-pity in this record, but an underlying feeling of hope as even in rejection, the reminder that there are people out there for you can still be comforting.”

The producer has recently announced that he will be appearing at the Dreamscape festival which is expected to take place at the end of May, just in time for the spring to properly set in and start turning towards summer. Other artists appearing at the festival include Rusko and Megan Hamilton while the second main act remains to be announced.

Previously featured on Chill Music, the blog mentioned: “ Lo-fi rhythm patterns and acoustics collide with a downtempo base on this latest gem. Although the motivation behind this track is somewhat heartwrenching, one can also admire its sophistication and beauty.”

The producer has admitted the inspiration behind his new single came from a darker mental space where he struggled to see a light at the end of the tunnel. You wouldn’t believe it if you didn’t know the background behind the song, but we are so thankful that the producer created and shared this work of art with us to absorb with its lush downtempo tone that swirls around lo-fi embellishments. Listening to this track, one can definitely escape with its comforting embrace.
