#listenNOW! Riverwoods - "Vagabond"

A song that speaks to the nomadic spirit within us, reminding us that we are all travellers on the road of life. Despite the challenges and obstacles, 'Vagabond' encourages us to embrace the journey and find strength in our vagabond identity. It's all about resistance and perseverance, expressing the deep emotional pain that can be experienced, but also emphasising the importance of moving forward and leaving the past behind. Musically, the sound design is good and varied, and the vocals, which have a bit of Nordic and Celtic flair, are completely convincing.

#ListenNOW! "Zu Hause" by TEYNA

Mit „Zu Hause“ liefert TEYNA Akustik-Pop, der sich sanft an unsere Seelen schmiegt und uns verzaubert. Sie verwandelt die Sehnsucht nach einem Hafen der Ruhe in magische Noten. In einer hektischen Welt thematisiert sie Zweisamkeit und stille Momente. Ihre stimmliche Performance transportiert Emotionen meisterhaft und wird durch das Arrangement perfekt untermalt. Die Percussions setzen dabei gekonnt Akzente. Das Gesamtbild bleibt zurückhaltend und harmonisch, aber mit der Erlaubnis, die Grenzen der Zurückhaltung zu überschreiten. So verschmelzen Instrumental und Gesang zu einer wunderbaren Einheit und machen „Zu Hause“ zu einem perfekten Begleiter auf der Suche nach diesem magischen Ort.

#ListenNOW 'AREA CODE' by ARPRAXIS

The beats per minute increase and the nostalgic flair that hovers over the track is constantly pushed to its limits. You are practically involved in a chase that accelerates at breakneck speed. With 'AREA CODE' ARPRAXIS is, as always, in the fast lane and pushing the boundaries. No limit - full fun" seems to be the motto. Unbridled energy that cannot be tamed, in the form of notes, drives the listener forward. ARPRAXIS is the driver, 'AREA CODE' the vehicle. Another great surprise from ARPRAXIS.

#ListenNOW! ‘One Last Kiss’ by Me & Melancholy

In the past, Me & Melancholy focused more on societal themes, whereas with ‘One Last Kiss,‘ he is taking a new direction. Both lyrically and musically, Peter Ehrling presents himself as more open, personal, and accessible, showing a greater affinity for pop. The night is over, the day is dawning, and with it comes a new chapter. Although ‘One Last Kiss‘ maintains a recurring connection to the past, it simultaneously keeps a certain distance, allowing for a reinterpretation of the past. Peter moves almost weightlessly across the floor, stepping out of the shadows, and presents an outstanding synth-pop song with ‘One Last Kiss.‘

#OUTNOW! #BrandNew! 'Forbidden Kind of Love (ft. Angie Gooden)' by The MasterBlaster

With 'Forbidden Kind of Love,' The MasterBlaster once again opens the doors to the 80s and lets us immerse ourselves in his musical living room, where the lamp gives way to the disco ball and the funky flair flies groovily around our ears. Together with Angie Gooden, he ventures onto the dance floor and takes a successful leap in the direction of disco meets funk. Sparkling like a fizzy drink and a little lascivious, 'Forbidden Kind of Love' unfolds its effect and shows The MasterBlaster fully in his element!

#ListenNOW! ‘Nouveau jour’ by Les Passagers

With ‘Nouveau jour,’ Les Passagers from Montréal deliver another highlight from their latest EP/mini-album 'Tu n'es pas seul'. The entire EP describes the journey through the adversities of existence and the resulting new beginning, with ‘Nouveau jour’ representing one stop on this journey. The slightly psychedelic song exudes the charm of the 70s and lets the listener oscillate between pop and jazz. A wonderfully delicate piece that radiates a certain lightness on one hand and is interpreted in a very sophisticated way on the other. ‘Nouveau jour’ by Les Passagers shows how multi-faceted pop can be interpreted and that it is worth listening to the whole work.
