Finding the true answers: Exodus drops fresh new single called ‘Left Your Mark’

Posted on 9 February 2021

Exodus is back a blazing performance on his latest laser-like delivery fused track called ‘Left Your Mark‘.

Connecticut-based Hip-Hop artist Exodus raps about true-life events that happened while growing up without a real home, as he was chased in and out of foster/group homes and at times he felt like he was left for dead. He is a fighter who never gave up and believes in his abilities on the mic to become an artist who has respect and is known all over the world for his skills.

”I want to show the world that you can achieve your dreams if you believe and work hard towards it”.-Exodus

With an earthy-feel and a gripping acoustic intro that gets you in the mood to be thoughtful, we soon hear a passionate emcee/singer who tells us the story of a man that speaks on how another guy left a mark on someone he truly cares about. He doesn’t know what to believe now and this is a tough situation to be in, as it can consume your mind long-term as you play it out in your mind again and again- which can cause you to overthink everything,

‘Left Your Mark‘ by fast-emerging emcee Exodus is the sound of an artist that performs with a gritty edge and a new school pop-rap style, that is so popular at the moment. With so much hunger inside his bones, you feel that he is only going to get better and better with each new release.

Life can be so tough growing up and you can find yourself in difficult positions that can either make or break you. Having that positive mindset is so vital though those dark days, as you can find the light and break free if you believe in your talents.

Don’t let the past define you, rather design the future by chasing your goals and dreams. Its your journey after all.

Hear this fast-rising emcee show his class on Soundcloud and follow his journey via IG.

Anna May sends the world a masterpiece with Americana-Folk infused ”Careless”

Posted on 15 June 2020
careless. by Anna May

I’m still shaking from listening to this absolute work of art. You can hear the pain in her voice. I feel like giving her a big hug but can’t. This is a marvelous masterpiece in every sense of the word.

Anna May is currently based in New London, Connecticut in the USA and performs traditional folk music with a transcendent twist. She puts you under her special spell during her latest release ”Careless”. Anna’s voice is magnetically attracted to your heart and doesn’t let you go from start to finish. She has real soul, her lyrics are about heartbreak. Anna May sings about past memories and moments that have effected her deeply. I get lost in her voice and the words float into my heart as I wonder what she has gone through. This is immense music, so rare and has just warmed my soul like only a few artists can do. I really hope that Anna understands how stunning her music is and how she can influence so many fans and fellow artists out there. If she ever tours in your town, you will want to see her live.

Please don’t be careless with Anna’s heart or her music. We are in the midst of witnessing a truly incredible musician that deserves to be touring all over the world with her Dad Vince Thompson right beside her on stage with his guitar.

You can listen to this fabulously created song that is sung with such passion right here on her Bandcamp page.

Posted on 24 October 2017
Washed Up by Mandala

Straight out of the Connecticut music scene, Mandala are quickly growing their reputation, based on the band’s hard working ethics and remarkable songwriting skills.

The group set out to perfect a very personal blend of alternative rock and dream pop, with somewhat of a shoegaze twist. The resulting sound is a very charismatic and interesting blend of different influences, highlighting the band’s diverse musical background and their ability to cash in from listening to a lot of great music.

Mandala recently came out with their latest studio effort, an single titled “Washed Up”. The single has an upfront, bright and warm tone to it, marking the band’s fondness for immediacy and textures. Overall, the sonic aesthetics of the song are really essentialist, favoring a no-frills production style that highlights the natural talent of the band. Having said that, the record sounds modern and lush, with a very clear and intelligible tone that highlights the sheer talent of these great musicians.

This is certainly a release to be enjoyed from back to back, as it stands out as a powerful, well-arranged and compelling indie tune that will make you long for more from this band!
