Ghost Nation advocated idiosyncratic autonomy in their dark pop/rock amalgam, Insane

Posted on 20 July 2023

Ghost Nation advocated idiosyncratic individuality in their latest addictive anthem, Insane. With a Shinedown-esque rock backbeat and razor-sharp pop hooks that pull you into the emboldening future-ready synthetics of the down-the-rabbit-hole single, it’s a feel-good anthem for every outlier who knows how hard fought for sanctity can be.

Uniqueness may now be celebrated to a certain degree in society but there are still boundaries to keep quirks inside of, Ghost Nation broke every boundary in their liberating anthem, which also borrows a few industrial rock tones. It may be darker and infinitely more twisted with the carnivalesque propensities of the melodies, but insane is the epitome of a radio-ready earworm. If Muse and Imagine Dragons managed to mainstream their sonic signatures, Ghost Nation is easily capable of doing the same.

Ghost Nation has already had its fair share of successes since forming in Stockholm in 2016. Their debut release was a hit worldwide, and their seminal single, Unforgiven, reached No.1 in over 20 singles. To date, the single has clocked up 1.4 million streams on Spotify and 3.6 million on YouTube.

Insane was officially released on July 14th; stream it on SoundCloud and Spotify.

Samiyyah wonders why they won’t see her for the kind soul that she is on ‘How Much Time Do You Need’

Posted on 13 March 2022

Taken gently off her recent 4-track EP called ‘Insane‘, Samiyyah projects frustration with why her crush keeps her waiting for so long when she is ready for more on, ‘How Much Time Do You Need‘.

Samiyyah is a youthful neo-soul, RnB/pop solo artist who sings with a really peaceful style and will have your head nodding with her exquisite ambience.

With a comforting atmosphere that has so much love and tender care wrapped beautifully inside as she waits for that phone call, Samiyyah performs with sweetly-sung energy that will have you thinking back to when you couldn’t stop thinking about that ideal lover. This is a highly promising musician who is truly herself and sings from the heart as she lifts the lit on those emotions – that she has been hiding away – as he hoped things would have been clearer by now in her path for romance.

‘How Much Time Do You Need‘ from the indie neo-soul/RnB singer-songwriter Samiyyah, sends a message that should be heard loud and clear. This is single that will strike the heart like lightning to so many, who have wished to be with someone who perhaps doesn’t deserve your kindness.

In a world filled with selfish souls who don’t actually care about how you feel, this is a reminder to be so careful with who you let into your heart. Being with that special soul who connects yours kindly to theirs without a sketchy motive, is the only way to avoid wasting time on something that is perhaps not meant to be.

The Way She Moved: The Industrial Cult Orchestra tells us the story of the contagiously dangerous smile on ‘Insane’

Posted on 5 September 2021

With a life-changing temptation that could unlock the powerful mind if you aren’t too careful who to trust with the key, The Industrial Cult Orchestra wonders about the almost-promises that made you think twice on the body-shaking new single ‘Insane‘.

The Industrial Cult Orchestra is an indie genre-defying group that like to keep things different and always evolving. They wish to form a bond with many people all over the world, in the name of breaking away from the way the current world is moving.

”The Industrial Cult Orchestra was forged in 2019 between a Viking, a Celt, and a Saxon, who, being unable to time travel, and growing anxious about the increasing inanities of modern society, decided it was time a new cult was formed.” ~ The Industrial Cult Orchestra

This is the story about how a relationship can take you to places it shouldn’t – the message of an intellectual man who foolishly enters into a misplaced relationship with a mysteriously attractive woman – who clearly isn’t a good fit for his soul. You feel the tension and energy which could take you to a place you wish to avoid, loving someone who is actually a poisoned chalice.

”It was clear that people needed refuge from the extremities of political correctness, blame culture, fake news, populism, and the growing extinction threat to polar bears. 21st century humanity needs a cult that is not only just about orgies and intoxication, but also peace, tranquility, and a general ability to live in harmony alongside psychopaths, politicians, thieves and other sources of anxiety.” ~ The Industrial Cult Orchestra

‘Insane‘ from The Industrial Cult Orchestra, is that rather brooding track which takes you to a deep place of thought. You recall the time you almost when down – or did briefly go into that dark place – which had you under the spell of someone powerful who could do anything they wanted, whilst you just froze and let them take charge of your heart. Sung with a deep tone and a wondrous soundscape, this is that ultimate movie-like story which can turn real if you don’t take control of your romantic movements in life.
