August 17, 2020 Rising pop singer Aaron Sibley shares melancholic song

Rising pop singer Aaron Sibley shares melancholic song

Aaron Sibley has just released his new single ‘In My Head’.  The new single is a contemporary pop arrangement with acoustic roots, fusing Aaron’s warm vocal timbre and well-honed technique with interesting instruments and production. The underrated architecture of the song fuses Aaron’s rich vocals with emotive and melancholic melody lines.

Recorded exclusively in Aaron’s ‘bedroom studio’, the song was arranged, produced and mixed by himself. ‘In My Head’ was Aaron’s excuse to “take the plunge and create my own music, on my own” Aaron has been learning new techniques to production and the quarantine period proved to be the perfect opportunity to apply his new skillset. 

The song is a story of a time in Aaron’s life where he felt lost. A feeling that most people can identify with; Where am I going? His longing to succeed in his music career mixed with his mundane working life and lack of motivation propelled Aaron into a difficult period of confusion and depression, resulting in Aaron taking a break from music altogether.

The lyrics focus on the feeling when the weight of the world is on your shoulders [In my head sirens call, blur just gets thicker]. Aaron says: “Everyone goes through their bad days, and some last longer than others. This song is an attempt to explain how I felt when I just couldn’t bring myself to get out of bed”

Just 23-years-old, Aaron has made a mark on the London music scene already. In 2017, Aaron was a Pride’s Got Talent finalist, performing on the main stage of Pride in London in Trafalgar Square. His soul influenced acoustic pop music (think Billie Eilish meets Tory kelly with Sam Smith and Bruno Major) has been played across the UK and Europe. His 2018 song ‘Once upon a Time’ reached Moldova’s Eurovision National Finals and last year he released a 6 song EP titled ‘Holiday Love’.

Andy Martin is an Australian indie-rock musician that is currently making waves with his latest single ‘Heat Of It All’, which is now accompanied by an official music video. The single premiered via the renowned CLOUT Magazine. Andy only began his solo career at the beginning of 2020, and has already seen a flood of support from radio station Triple J as well stream rate spiking over 80 000 streams with his previous singles. 

Andy adds his thoughts on his latest single release, “Most of the songs I write come together in a matter of hours. ‘Heat of it All’ was not one of those. I actually wrote the hook/chorus for this around 3/4 years ago. I had been playing around with progressions and some of the verse lyrics. That is why I am so proud of this song. It shows how I have evolved as a songwriter of the last few years. If you want to dance, cry, laugh or hold somebody, this ones for you (so everyone!).”

Inspired by a varied range of musicians, including Sam Fender, John Mayer and beloved Australian musician Gretta Ray. Andy provides similar invigorating energy like his inspirations in the new single.

August 13, 2020 Music duo Foreign Affairs shares striking music video for ‘One Minute’

Music duo Foreign Affairs shares striking music video for ‘One Minute’

Foreign Affairs have shared the video for their new single, ‘One Minute’. Striking and minimal, the video accentuates the track’s powerful biographical air with its direct intensity reflecting the song’s confessional atmosphere. 

Featuring lead vocalist Lawrence Purnell singing directly to camera, the video is an intimate and honest visual postcard, delivering a stark and arresting account of the emotions surrounding life, love and loss. 

“‘One Minute’ is such a personal song to us, it’s like an open letter and one long thought,” explain the duo. “We wanted the music video to show just as much emotion as the song itself, and we thought the best way to accomplish this was to make it simple.

“Delivering a monologue directly to the camera lets the audience see every moment of emotion, and being that close to Lawrence’s eyes creates a feeling that it is being delivered directly to you. There are no camera tricks or frills to this music video as we knew the most important thing was focusing on the emotion and lyrics.”

Foreign Affairs is the musical collaboration of brothers Adam and Lawrence Purnell, who began writing together in their early teens. Drawing from influences including The Lumineers, Johnny Cash and The Kings Of Leon, the duo blend hints of powerful Americana with pop sensibilities to create infectious, soulful and evocative anthems.

Their first single, ‘Sell My Soul’, received both local and national BBC radio play, with Bob Harris proving a big champion at Radio 2, and in December of 2018 the brothers released their first EP The Old Fire Station. The EP garnered widespread critical acclaim and was followed by a 22-date European tour with Grammy-nominated artist Larkin Poe.

‘One Minute’ is Foreign Affairs’ first original music since the release of their debut EP and sees them return powerfully charged and ready to make a bold mark in 2020 with a host of new music to follow.

August 11, 2020 Modern-blues infused band shares Gnarls Barkley ‘Crazy’ song remix

Modern-blues infused band shares Gnarls Barkley ‘Crazy’ song remix

Los Angeles, CA. – Shadow & The Thrill, the modern blues-infused, groove-laden, hook-filled, melodic Rock band from the streets of Los Angeles and New Orleans, bring you songs of salvation to soothe the soul! Their incredible new rendition of Gnarls Barkley’s, “Crazy” off of their debut album, Sugarbowl, is no exception.

Shadow & The Thrill is Tony Cardenas-Montana from Great White, who is also a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum, Billboard-charting writer and musician along with Brentt Acrement, a much sought-after touring and session drummer and producer. Together they have created a musical experience that rivals their iconic rock and pop influences. 

Cardenas-Montana says, “I love this song and wanted to cover it from the first time I heard it. Gnarls Barkely’s vocals mesmerized me. My impression of the song was that it was about depression. I related to it in that way, having dealt with that illness myself since I was a teenager. I let the re-arrangement and treatment ideas gestate for years. Finally, this blues groove and feeling took hold and it just kind of flowed out. Recording this was an emotional experience for me as a vocalist and guitarist.” 

“Crazy” was mixed by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System Of A Down, Johnny Cash, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty, The Black Crowes).
