Neil Armstrong’s ‘In the Borderlands’: A Nostalgic Journey Through Love and Loss

“In the Borderlands” by Neil Armstrong Neil Armstrong steps onto our blog stage for the first time as an artist. His music pays tribute to the icons of the 80s, including The Cure, Tears For Fears, Pet Shop Boys, and Howard Jones. Oscillating between the realms of Synth-Pop/Rock and New Wave, Armstrong’s transnational work, fluctuating between Spain and Scotland, is expressed in his latest piece, “In the Borderlands.” The song takes us on an introspective journey through the nuances of human relationships, unfolding the complexity of interpersonal dynamics . It exposes these nuances on the operating table of music, bringing them to life with a nostalgic touch reminiscent of the 80s, thereby endowing the work with a soul. The arrangement, inspired by the musical giants of that era, is a testament to Armstrong’s exceptional talent for composing and arranging songs. Every note, every melody in “In the Borderlands” is carefully chosen to tell a story of love: its loss and rediscovery, wit

"Bigger" by Ally Cribb

Ally Cribb

... has been on this earth before. Her voice is heavy with a soul that defies her sixteen years. While her home city of Toronto, Canada has exposed her to a rich and diverse musical scene, for Ally, “What I do is all about creativity and imagination: two things that can be found and fostered anywhere.” She always understood music. It was a gift she inherited from her father who, too, is a musician and a writer
Through her own flair for creative expression and an instinct for conveying sentiments to sonics, when she started singing lessons at the age of eight, Ally never looked back. As a natural empath, Ally Cribb’s experiences have given her song-writing sensitivity and resonance. Just like her heroes Taylor Swift and Joni Mitchell, what she sings demands to be felt. 
Her debut release, a cover of Radiohead’s “Creep”, sees the track transformed beyond recognition, swapping guitars for the gravitas of the piano, which brings the song newfound dimensions of vulnerability and strength. 
For Ally Cribb, this is only the beginning: “Music is the one thing I wanted to be really good at. I’ve been working harder than ever to advance my abilities to write and create.

Bigger

Das erste Ziel unserer musikalischen Reise, führt uns heute nach Kanada und damit direkt zu Ally Cribb, welche ihre Debütsingle "Bigger" vor ein paar Wochen veröffentlichte. Hindernisse zu überwinden, das Scheitern als Quelle der Kraft zu akzeptieren um daraus gestärkt hervorzugehen und seine Träume ohne Angst verfolgen um sie schlussendlich leben zu können, so die Thematik. 
Ein Hymne, die in den bunten Farben des Pop-Genres strahlt. Einerseits zeigt sich die junge Künstlerin sehr persönlich andererseits verrät sie uns "The trick is holding on"
Die Produktion, das Arrangement perfekt ausgearbeitet, die talentierte Sängerin zu unterstützen, zu pushen die oberste Prämisse. Ally nimmt dankend an und zeigt eine mehr als gute Performance. Ally Cribb liefert mit "Bigger" ein herausragendes Debüt und legt den Grundstein für ihre Träume, macht sozusagen den ersten großen Schritt Richtung "My dreams come true". 
Gespannt warte ich auf die nächsten "Steps" da bereits ihr Album in Arbeit ist. Was wir bereits jetzt sagen können ist, Ally Cribb, definitely a promise for the future!
