Please Insert Coin: ‘Games’ by The Octopus Division

‘Games’ by The Octopus Division If you love the 80s and don't know Matt Muncie (aka The Octopus Division), you've definitely missed something. But as it's never too late for good music, you can catch up on what you've missed anytime and almost anywhere.  The Octopus Division's latest work is called ‘Games’ and once again represents the decade of neon lights perfectly. The major sequences are classically chosen, and you'll be hooked from the start. Back in the world of arcade games, the song becomes an intense journey of self-discovery, describing personal growth. Timelessness and shared experiences emphasize the importance of interpersonal bonds. ‘Games’ creates a dreamy atmosphere that allows you to immerse yourself in another world and makes you think about the future - all because you pressed the start button.  The entire production clearly bears Matt's signature, with classic drums, synth arrangements, and above all, the usual concise vocal part, which...

"Crazy" by Alayisha

Alayisha

... has been singing since she was a young girl, but it wasn't until 2017 that she started to take the creative outlet seriously. That same year, she became a part of the music duo, Spilled Honey. Together they performed at venues around NYC including: The Sidewalk Cafe, Pianos, and The Shrine.
As a solo artist, Alayisha's songs tend to focus on mental health and relationships. Although Alayisha makes music to express herself and release intense emotions, anyone who is on the journey of self love and reflection will find themselves connecting to her songs.


Crazy

Heute besuchen wir Brooklyn, NY und damit die dort ansässige Indie-Künstlerin Alayisha, welche am vergangenen Freitag ihren neuesten Song "Crazy" veröffentlicht hat. In „Crazy“ geht es darum, zu erkennen, dass eine Beziehung nicht mehr dort ist, wo sie einmal war, und dass sie vielleicht auch nie mehr dorthin zurückkommen wird. "...seeing the other person and seeing them doing things and living their life without me...", so Alayisha selbst. 
Diese Erfahrungen zu machen bzw. diese Emotionen zu durchleben war ihre Inspiration. Musikalisch ist es eine brillante Mischung aus Singer & Songwriter und Jazz, mit einem Hauch Pop versehen a la Raveena oder auch Arlo Parks. "Crazy", ein trauriger Background, aber ein fantastischer Song by Alayisha!
