IAMCORNELIUS – Life: A Sonic Altitude Check at 35,000 Feet

Posted on 22 March 2025

Life by IAMCORNELIUS escapes easy articulation and categorisation. Even if you think along the lines of electro-infused soft melodic rock-tinged folk pop with Avant Garde motifs of soul, you’ll still struggle to run in parallel with the single, which is driven by emotion instead of restrictive genre parameters.

IAMCORNELIUS doesn’t need to make a statement with his moniker when he does it so viscerally through his sound. With his consolingly gruff timbre lifting in the light of the chorus, his intricate acoustic guitar notes bleeding intimacy into the single, and the artful electronic sequences shaping its filmic soul, Life nestles you in its expansive interstellar embrace. If you’re ever caught up wondering about the meaning of life, this track doesn’t offer answers—it reflects the weight of the question in exquisite, untethered form.

Originally from Kenya and now based in Cincinnati, IAMCORNELIUS has spent a life between continents, filtering experience through a diverse musical history. He’s not confined by genre or form—his work is rooted in honesty, written for those tired of looking in the mirror and ready to search their soul.

There are no clean comparisons here. The only adequate metaphor is watching the clouds disappear from the window of a plane as you realise, with both clarity and quiet panic, just how infinite it all really is.

Life by IAMCORNELIUS is available to stream on all major platforms.

Trevour Amunga wonders who will be there to turn to on ‘Piece of Mind’ (feat. Josh Berkely)

Posted on 30 March 2022

Taken off his inspirational 7-track album that has helped his soul heal from all the recent sadness, Trevour Amunga shows us inside his healing feelings that are taking time to process that devastating loss on ‘Piece of Mind’ (feat. Josh Berkely).

Trevour Amunga is a Los Angeles, California-based Hip hop artist who makes that desire-filled combination of spark-filled class that sends you into a new stratosphere altogether.

”I lost my dad in November 2020, and working on this Ep was the only way I could cope. This is my reflection on my life, faith, grief and home.” ~ Trevour Amunga

After moving forward to a new mission that has him feeling like 2022 is going to be his year if he can find that new source of support, Trevour Amunga delights with a terrific new track that is baked in originality and cooking hot with a tender taste that will have you looking forward to the new possibilities which are ultimately endless.

‘Piece of Mind‘ (feat. Josh Berkely) from Los Angeles, California-based Hip hop artist Trevour Amunga, shows us into a talented musician’s eyes that is now ready for the next step. He sends us into a mesmerizing tunnel that is shaking with promise after a cold period, which almost cost him his sense of humour forever. With a click-the-fingers mood of optimism, this is a seriously impressive single that is for anyone who needs to be inspired again.

Dreamy Sci-Fi Electronic Experiments with ”Life” from Dreamsonic

Posted on 3 June 2020

Taken off their latest 9 track album ”Reverie”, Dreamsonic are here with warped Science fiction electronic track ”Life”. This is an experience that takes you into a different galaxy, full of mystery and intrigue. I feel like I’m in an episode of Rick & Morty while listening to this.

Denton, Texas is the home of Dreamsonic, a 1 piece act that is fairly new in the music game but taking steps forward to become more and more well known. Surely a candidate to be included in a movie, ”Life” takes you on a rather strange journey that makes you feel a bit uncertain at times and very unsure about yourself. I feel a bit paranoid while listening to this song I must admit. Perhaps that was the point of the whole track, life is a very up and down trip.

With constant music coming out which is probably due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Dreamsonic will definitely have their fans who urge to soak up as much of this style during the nights, the music fits the late night club scene. ”Life” is a good song, very different from what I have heard before and for that, this kind of creativity must be celebrated.
