April 16, 2024 Emerging multicultural marvel Daada shares a new single, ‘Moonlight’

Emerging multicultural marvel Daada shares a new single, ‘Moonlight’

Daada, aka Maike Valentina Kusserow, dropped her single ‘Moonlight’ on April 12th via Daada Music. She’s gained viral fame on TikTok and Instagram in Kenya with over 500K views on two videos of her singing. Her music has been featured on Spotify and Boomplay playlists, and she’s been interviewed on various radio stations across Europe, Africa, and Latin America. Daada has also received nominations and attention from Amazon Music Germany and media outlets like The Citizen and RBB Kultur. In June 2024, she’ll release her second EP, blending genres from around the world, sure to please fans of multicultural artists like Mayra Andrade and Ibeyi.

‘Moonlight’ is an enchanting listen with a captivating melody and irresistible rhythm. The synergy between Daada’s exquisite vocals and the pulsing Afro-Colombian beat weaves a spellbinding dance, drawing in listeners in with breathtaking ease.

Daada revealed: ‘Moonlight’ is the result of a great deal of inner turmoil rushing out of me and into a song in an hour or two last September. It is an explosion of emotions. The best thing about it is that it’s also an explosion of the different places I am from and a journey through them. It’s trilingual. On one hand it was made by two Colombians (myself and Claudio), so you will feel Reggaeton and even Cumbia vibes. At the same time you will hear an African vibe rhythmically. And of course, it was made in an apartment on Sonnenallee, one of the busiest, loudest streets of Berlin. So there’s some Berlin in it too.”

January 24, 2024 Les Biches release a mesmerizing music video for their single ‘The White Shape Of Noise’

Les Biches release a mesmerizing music video for their single ‘The White Shape Of Noise’

LA-based rock supergroup Les Biches released a music video for their touching track, ‘The White Shape Of Noise’. The song is taken from their album The Mysteries, which was released on the 10th of November, 2023. Named after a Jaques Brel song and a 1968 French film, Les Biches began initially as an open-ended collaborative project whose sole constant member was songwriter Keith Joyner. The current lineup of Joyner, Chris Candelaria (bass), Dusty Starr (guitars), and Kevin Pinnt (drums) share a roster of bands including Twinstar, Revolux, Chihuahua, The The, Caterwaul and Seven Simons.

‘The White Shape of Noise’ is a moving rendezvous of epic sixties psychedelia, reanimating the sounds of legends like Pink Floyd and Procol Harum in its lengthy, full arrangement soaked in echoes and reverb. 

The accompanying music video showcases the band performing the song, with frames full of overlays and kaleidoscopic colours, beautifully complementing the song’s dreamlike and somewhat melancholic hypnosis.

Walk us through your creative process?

I think it’s changing all the time. I make creativity a priority and apply it to everything I do.

Who are your biggest artistic influences?

Probably my closest friends and collaborators. They inspire more of my artistic expression than anyone else.

What instruments do you play?

Guitar, bass guitar, piano and ukelele

What would you like to work with if you weren’t a musician?

Maybe wood!

Whats one piece of gear you can’t live without? What equipment are you using?

I could live without all of it. I’ll use whatever I’ve got, even if it’s my voice, clapping my hands and stomping my feet. I have collected a hand full of instruments that were built by my friend Gary Zimnicki. Other than that, I have a few toys that help me execute my creative choices! The computer is essential these days…

Tell us something unrelated to music. What are your hobbies?

I love to dance and find myself in a park with a coffee or tea and a book. I also love to support other people’s art when the opportunity arises.

If you could meet one performer/artist who would it be?

Thats a tough one… too tough.

What does the future hold for you as an artist?

Surprises 🙂
