Dave Curl – Soulful singer-songwriter releases ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ Single & Video

Independent Australian-Swiss singer-songwriter and producer Dave Curl releases his iconic single & video ’Don’t Talk Anymore’. He recently released a unique sophomore LP, Lockdown – Seven Nations, on February 23, 2024. Boasting over 1.5 million streams on Spotify, airplay on numerous indie radio stations in Germany and abroad. With performances in the respected Kulturkoller Club and around 20 other locations, Dave Curl has shown no signs of slowing down. The prolific performer has released nearly two dozen singles, two EPs, and the 2021 full-length album, Introducing. His newest project promises listeners an infectious and thought-provoking concoction of rock and roll.

With a glitchy introduction ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’ beckons the listener with bluesy guitar and an edgy bass line with a syncopated drum groove in a classic tone. Dave Curl offers up an electrifying rock track connected to the times. In the animated lyric video we are introduced to Dave in stillness, observing reality through virtually reality goggles. With scenes of life unfolding behind him, he identifies the indifference a tech-infused lifestyle creates.  

Dave Curl shared: Don’t Talk Anymore’ captures the modern epidemic of disconnection, as people immerse themselves in smartphones rather than meaningful conversation. Inspired by a train journey through the Italian part of Switzerland, Dave Curl was struck by the eerie silence of fellow passengers glued to their screens. Expecting lively chatter, he instead found an irritating scene of silence. This moment sparked the idea of ‘Don’t Talk Anymore’. The song serves as an ironic reminder of the importance of meaningful communication in an increasingly virtual world.

Nastiya Kai – Nomadic soul and boundless musical spirit releases a wild & raw new single and video ‘Demons’.

Emerging alt pop sensation Nastiya Kai shares another single and music video, ‘Demons’ via her imprint Nastiya Kai Music. The single offers a taste of what is to come with her debut album, Demon Era, slated for release on May 31st, 2024. Her recent singles garnered support from NOTION Magazine, CLASH Magazine, Wonderland Magazine and EARMILK as well as landing her an interview with Numéro and airplay on Flux FM. With her music accumulating more than 141 500 streams and counting, Nastiya Kai is carving a place for herself in pop’s prolific world, and she’s here to stay.

‘Demons’ is a glitchy and upbeat ode to the dizzying experience of bypassing somebody’s red flags as you fall in love with them. Nastiya Kai creates depth with catchy vocal layering coupled with an infectious dance pop beat, occasionally giving way to passages of haunting ambience. The accompanying video is a neon-clad chronicle of Nastiya and a lover, steamy yet tender and intimate, and at times painful.

Nastiya Kai shared: ’Demons’ is a love song, contrary to how it sounds. It’s about loving someone so

much you keep ignoring the red flags over and over again and at some point you stop fighting and just give in. It’s also about rushing into something without having the time to think things over so it’s a little more fast paced compared to most tracks on the album.”

Co-written with Rick Nowels in Santa Monica, ‘Headphones’ seamlessly blends melancholy with upbeat pop sensibilities, capturing the bittersweet essence of heartbreak. Beginning as a sweet piano ballad, it breaks into an upbeat dream pop heartthrob instrumental that Pilar’s angelic vocals soar over. 

Pilar Victoria shared: “I wrote this song during a time where I knew I was going to be losing someone and I couldn’t handle it. I wanted to block out all the pain and intense emotions I was feeling. I thought the metaphor of putting headphones on was a cool expression of saying how I wanted to tune out all the noise and what was going on around me. I just wanted to be alone in my thoughts. I think sometimes we all just want to put on headphones.”
