Giovan has made a haunting debut with ‘Listen to My Demons’ featuring Aria Chablis King.

Posted on 25 June 2021

‘Listen to My Demons’ is the hauntingly introspective debut single from LA alt-indie artist Giovan. The tender ballad pulls in neo-classic nuances that run right alongside contemporary, artful styling that we hope will become synonymous with the Guatemalan-American singer-songwriter’s sound.

Listen to My Demons is easily the best duet released since Alex Cameron’s collaboration with Angel Olsen. Aria Chablis King’s quiescently vulnerable vocals bring an intense depth to the release. You won’t get much choice when it comes to falling into the pensive command of the release that is constructed with intricate piano progressions and layered vocals that conceptually never harmonise.

Giovan orchestrates music to help pull people through the hardest times in their lives; it is safe to say he succeeded in his debut. The way he brings beauty to the raw and alienating concept of your demons being your only friends amplifies the signal that you are never alone in your loneliness. Our superficial reality practically enforces it. Naturally, we can’t wait to hear what he has in store for his sophomore release.

Listen to My Demons will officially release on June 25th; you can check it out for yourselves via Spotify or Giovan’s official website.

Posted on 5 June 2022

Showing that he is ready for the next step of his life after many years inside his own head, THISMINORITY is rather incredible on this new single to shake your ears awake like John Wick, ready for a rampage on ‘MEDI‘.

THISMINORITY aka Theo Minori is a mysteriously masked indie Hip hop artist who performs under a pseudonym to add to his thought-provoking enigma.

”This PLACE being one of SELF LOVE and ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. Took me a long time to find the love that is the foundation and explanation for why I create I create what I create.” ~ THISMINORITY

Guiding us through hardcore rhymes that seem to shatter all the glass barriers you have put up inside yourself without even realizing it, THISMINORITY shows us a level of lyrical skill that has been hiding away for too long. His self-enlightened aura seems to grab your soul and wake it up from that pandemic slumber that has closed your eyes when you needed to be awake the whole time.

”The reason This Minority’s face is hidden is not because of fear— it’s to show change, the metamorphosis out of the shell. A shell that was filled with inherited insecurities and generations of untouched potential. This change will inspire moments that will enhance revolutions.” ~ THISMINORITY

‘MEDI‘ from the underground Hip hop artist THISMINORITY is a devastatingly extraordinary song that shows us it’s possible to win the war inside your head, if you click into action when you’re ready to fulfill your destiny. Slicing his demons into half like a true samurai – this is a ninja-like experience – that might send your mind into overdrive. With a fierce mentality that knows that he is better than those sad small-minded folks who just try to bring you down to their sewage-smelling levels, this might the track your ears have been craving for all year.

When your eyes open at the precise time they need to, you know you’re ready for more than the scraps you have eaten before.

Posted on 29 November 2021

Ravaging our delicate souls with a mightily strong display from a character piece about the leader of a revolution, Fearless Union drops a track from his well-built 12-track release ‘The Supreme Leader‘ with an intensely strong effort on ‘Shadow of My Grave‘.

Fearless Union is a Salt Lake City, Utah-based indie dance/hip-hop act which was formed by Brent Walker who is also a writer and music producer.

”Brent’s music draws from a series of original stories based on a sci-fi fantasy world steeped in mythology. “The Supreme Leader” represents the first of those stories, and focuses on spirituality (pain, death, and hope) to bring to life the strengths and flaws of its titular character.” ~ Fearless Union

Fearless Union shakes the nucleus of our vein-popping hearts with a stunning display that has been made with a real show of strength. This is a highly-evolving artist who makes that entertaining music – that is such a wondrous listen – and filled full with a really outstanding beat that grabs you close and never lets go for a second.

The Start: Italian singer Luca calmly brushes off his demons to find that right path on ‘Yet/Still’

Posted on 24 June 2021

After unnecessarily worrying about others drama-filled burdens and not following his own dreams, Luca starts his heart-enlightening chapter one to be truly happy in what he is pursuing with ‘Yet/Still‘.

Luca Nesciobelli aka Luca, is a deeply thoughtful The Netherlands-born, Germany-raised, Italian-bred indie RnB singer-songwriter. He has a clear picture of what he wants to portray to the world and prefers to let his music do the talking on his behalf.

”He‘s here on a mission. This mission is also not something to be spoken about greatly, he would much rather just take you by the hand and embark on a journey with you and anyone who will join him. Step on the ship, it‘s gonna be a long and great ride.” – Luca

You feel his dreamy-cool vocals simmer through like a smokey chimney, his kind mind is ready and just needs that final push to do whatever he wishes. His tremendous tone is backed organically by a breathless beat and calm piano, as he tackles his demons down like a perfect Paolo Maldini tackle to win in injury time. With some smartly edged raps too, this is so good to listen to, as you will want a second listen.

‘Yet/Still‘ from the soulfully joyful Italian indie RnB singer Luca, is his reflection on the struggle of aiming for the stars up above – but yet standing still for now at the same time – as he carefully works out how to achieve his greatest desires, You feel like he knows where the slippery key is, and just needs to search a bit more so that he may be free where it matters most. His beating heart awaits this moment of pulsating excitement, when he reaches that destination. This is just the beginning.

Recorded and produced while in lockdown on canal boat in Leicestershire; Folk artist Calum Read inspires us with ‘’Demons’’

Posted on 18 May 2020

Her voice is stuck in my head. What a sad but inspirational story this is. This is what real music is, in the grand scheme of life. A true Folk singer-songwriter who makes music to express his pain about a close one’s heart-breaking suicide and the after effects emotionally, that are attached forever to such a traumatic experience. 

Manchester’s ‘Calum Reed’ has found solitude on a canal boat during this terrible pandemic and has made inspirational music to escape the madness and give us a piece of beauty to enjoy. 

Calum had very little resources but wanted it badly enough, so made it happen somehow with the support of family and friends closest to him. This is the 3rd track from his debut release, ‘’Long Cool Girl EP’’ and it’s a beautiful song, full of emotion and realness. I found my eyes watering up while listening to ‘’Demons’’. The passion in the track is clear to see and it was so well executed. Well 

I hope to meet Calum one day soon and see his boat Long Cool Girl that he has been living on. Calum seems like a guy with incredible stories and with his soulful voice and music, I’m rooting for his success, no matter where or what it is.

AYE FIB – “My LIFESTYLE” MVMIX Finally Found Its Groove

Posted on 12 January 2018

AYE FIB’s new album is all shades of awesomeness. The songs in the album are perfectly placed in the archive of Hip-hop and Rnb genre. The album, however, just like most other hip-hop songs have many explicit languages that are used in it but it’s got quite a lot of nice songs in it. I personally love “Vroom” and “Issa Wrap” tracks.

It a rare thing to see hip-hop artist switch to a different style of rapping in their album and AYE LIB nice demonstration made it look like it’s not really a nut that’s so hard to crack.

From its Inception, the first song on the album “Laz Gang” was mired in dissonance, it started off sparingly, and the sound was meagerly pitched and represented. Although after some few minutes, the song got back to its fine tune. The subsequent songs are well laced if you somewhat was able to love the first song then you’ll surely fall in love with rest of the songs.

There’s a sense of purposefulness in this album, it’s got a ferocious and uptight lead off song although there are some minutes of poor sound issues and vocal clarity experienced.

“Animal” on its own is a gripping, enthralling and a beautifully laid song which has a consistent sound behind its plethora of high-pitch cameos. There’s a stylistic ink that binds everything together in the song “Vroom”.

Most of the songs in this album are ostensibly well pitched; the beats are like the normal rap hip hop beats that’s well mastered and smooth. Virtually everything comes with an array of super high vocal that can coherently cause a ripple effect in the mind of its listeners.

The album track list includes: Laz Gang, Issa Wrap, I told em, I’m back, Vroom, Hittin my line, Animal, Either way, Make it rain, and the last but not the least; Rollin.

This album has in stock a good collection of nice and frenzy hip hop/rap songs that will interest you. Be sure to check them out here

Keisha Sounds Releases ‘Demons’ FT DJ BENJ!

Posted on 28 September 2017

Music has saved countless lives, and not just by inspiring good times. A lot of time, when people are down, they want nothing more than to know they aren’t alone in their troubles. This can be one of the most powerful feelings we can receive from music. The idea of intimate, interpersonal connections being made possible through capturing expression and having it played back to the listener is powerful and worthy of all artistic praise. KeishaSounds is here to deliver on that premise with Demons.

Demons features DJ BENJ!, whose approach to the song about being plagued by the monsters inside of us is a dedication to bringing the listener into an atmosphere of anxious, panning instruments that could become overwhelming if not for a grounded, centered beat. Focus on the beat. Hear KeishaSounds voice and realize that you can exist safely in this space. The fear is palpable but the song provides a guiding light that listeners can hold onto. This is a song with not only a strong message but also production tailored with that message in mind. That combination is what distinguishes this song from many similar attempts. If you’re feeling isolated and out of sorts, press play and get ready for reinforcements to fight those Demons.
