Although the EP is grouped under the electronic classification, each track delivers Luca’s unique and original take on the genre.
‘Birba’ lasts an impressive ten minutes and forty-six seconds and sits at 122bpm. From the systematic percussive drops, phased synth and inventive instrumental transitions, this track will keep the listener captivated from start to finish.
‘Every Exit is an Entrance’ lasts five minutes and twenty-five seconds and sits at 110bpm. This track features a foundational sub-bass that provides the perfect platform for the plethora of electronic instrumental elements that are driven by the steady percussion.

to the clean transitions, ambient synth layers and subtle swells, this track provides the perfect amount of instrumental diversification. It is clear that Luca has been well cultured by the variety of places where he has lived over the years; drawing from the dark rhythm of Berlin, the foundational structure of his first home in Italy, and the “exotic radiance” of Los Angeles combining to inspire his original style. Make sure you follow Luca on all his social media to keep up to date with his upcoming releases!
17-year-old Christine Lee is back with her latest song, Fallin along with a stunning visual that highlights the beauty of the song. Standing amidst a hilly area, Christine is depicted singing her heart out surrounded by nature.
Christine says, “The song is young, innocent and shy. The heart and soul of the song capture that butterfly feeling inside of you when you have your first big crush.”
Fallin is also an evolution sonically for Christine. The young artist worked on the song in-house. She shares, “This is one of the first songs we produced all on our own, from playing and recording the instruments, to mixing down the sounds, to mastering.”

In just a few short years, Christine Lee has continued to grow and mature into a new artist with each release and Fallin showcases this growth while staying true to who Christine is as a person and artist.
Christine goes on to share, “I want people to feel excited and happy when they listen to Fallin. Maybe it’s about a classmate you have a crush on, or maybe it’s about a friend who you want to be more than just friends with. Maybe it’s someone on the other side of the world who you connected with online. I want that someone to imagine and dream along with the song’s lyrics and catchy melody.”
Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez has dropped his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
Vinema chatted with teen sensation Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez who has just released his debut music video for his second single ‘Your Smile’ – quarantine style.
VINEMA ARTIST INTERVIEW:
Can you tell us a bit about your new record ‘Your Smile’?
I wanted to release a summer song that showcased someone’s smile using the backdrop of a few of Southern California’s stunning locations. I love the beach and so incorporating surfing or flip flops into the lyrics along with a girl’s smile was a must!
‘Your Smile’ is centred around a young girl’s captivating smile that is suddenly noticed by one of her friends, who is looking at her with a different appreciation for the very first time. Her admirer dreams of whisking her away for sandy toes and snow cones on the beach. The lyrics are about how she shouldn’t change a thing as she is fly just the way she is. It is fun, light and bursting full of summer!
Tell us about the music video.
Well, due to the current COVID-19 filming restrictions in Los Angeles, we had to be really careful, so I just had two of my friends and one videographer, plus my mum of course, on set.
We tried to incorporate some of Malibu’s most gorgeous hotspots, and of course me catching a wave at my favourite place, the beach.
Since releasing your debut pop record ‘My Crew’ in July, you have had some great results on the streaming services. Congratulations!
Oh yes, I am thrilled with the response to my music so far. We released my debut record ‘My Crew’ on July 7th and it’s so exciting to see it is currently pushing 200,000 streams. ‘Your Smile’ has been climbing at a rapid rate with over 105,000 streams on Spotify today. I am so grateful to everyone who has listened to the songs so far.
What’s up next for you?
I recording three songs at age twelve during the Los Angeles lockdown, and I am releasing one song consecutively each month, ‘My Crew’, which released on 07.07, ‘Your Smile’ on 08.08 and next in line is ‘Up To You’ on 09.09. I have a further three records penned for later in the year as well as a special Holiday song. I am super excited to tell you about that!
‘Your Smile’ from Alexander James (AJ) Rodriguez is currently out and available for download on iTunes and all digital streaming platforms including Apple Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, TikTok, Pandora, DEEZER and more!

The History of BSR
Busking since high school, the college dropout has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees.
Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which:
“lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
The brand new single ‘Some People from ‘By Small Ruin’ is out now.
Cast my lot
The only one that can take a shot
By myself a lot
I'm all alone, but I'm all I got
And there's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
Take you down a notch
Damned if you do, damned if you do not
You know it's all a game to them
I'm gonna win it, rob them blind
And there's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
The less you give it, the more it takes
And unless you live it, it will fade away
Write it off to 'my head's in the clouds', it can plague some people
Lighters up in a room with a crowd, let me find my people.
The more you give it, the less it takes
And until I live it, I won't go away
There's a growing trend
Some people want me to just give in
But I got news my friend
Some people will never box me in
Yeah
Some people want me to just give in
Oh, but I got news
Some people will never box me in
They'll never box me in
N2BLÜ are back with another pop dance hit in the form of ‘King of Broken Hearts’.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ follows their well supported LGBTQIA global smash ‘NSA’.
When asked about the meaning behind the song, Jonathan Arceneaux fromthe world famous dance pop act N2BLÜ said:
“King of Broken Hearts is a biographical look of my romantic history and patterns. I’ve never been in a long-term relationship, yet that’s all I’ve ever wanted. To find my person and have the fairy-tale happily ever after. Unfortunately, I kept repeating the same choices over and over. Choosing the wrong person, over-compromising myself for them, trying to be who they wanted me to be and always ending the same”.
It’s time to break the cycle and become the King/Queen of your own heart. It’s time to Love yourself!
LYRIC VIDEO PREMIERE: N2BLÜ release a majestic soaring synth dance sound with big electronic hooks on ‘King of Broken Hearts’ – Vinema Lyric Video Premieres
LYRICS FEATURE – N2BLÜ – KING OF BROKEN HEARTS
I may not be your ever after
We had fun at first and moments of rapture
You wouldn’t be my first mistake
But now I’m trying my best to change my fate
And just one time
I’d love to be the first one on your mind
But no matter how it starts
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be the second choice
A novelty just to fill the void
Eyes open kissing, looking for better
All the love I spent was just a ticket for never
But just for now
I’d love to be the wanted one somehow
When it all falls apart
I guess I’ll be the King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I sit of this lonely throne, built on heartbreak
Should I go it alone or try to tempt fate?
Under a heavy crown, made of frozen tears
Could there still be hope after all these years?
My kingdom is cracked by a spark of hope
Coming out of the black, learning to let go
The door is my heart and I am the key
Cuz I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
Of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Kings
I don’t wanna be, wanna be, wanna be
The King of Broken Hearts
The King of Broken Hearts
I don’t wanna be
I don’t want to be
The King of Broken Hearts
N2BLÜ – THE FULL STORY
The previous hit single from N2BLÜ was entitled ‘NSA’.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
‘King of Broken Hearts’ is out now and follows up from their previous LGBTQIA global hit ‘NSA.
I think we can all agree that young music with an old soul vibe is the best you can get in today’s music world, and none fills the criteria more than young Alabama native, Dricka.
And when we say young, we mean it, since this gifted rapper and songwriter is only 23 years old, and yet comes across as if she’s lived at least seven decades. That is not to say that her music is in any way old or outdated. On the contrary, she’s got one of the most modern sounds we’ve heard in recent years.
And yet, her latest release, entitled simply “Mama”, will win you over through its old school kind of vibe, and the sheer wisdom inherent in the lyrics.
VINEMA GLOBAL RAP STREET PREMIERES: ‘Ain’t nobody touching me’ spits dope newcomer ‘Dricka’ as she stands on her own feet and tells ‘Mama’ the way it is on fantastic new music video – Vinema RAP HIP-HOP
Dricka is obviously a girl whose mind is as sharp as can be. She’s observant and demonstrates a real skill for paying attention to detail, the sort of skill that is characteristic of true artists.
Her lyrics paint a somewhat grim, yet at the same time hopeful view of life and difficulty, of finding strength and growing up in a world that seems to pay less and less attention to you with each day.
Then, of course, we have her fantastic voice. It has a soulful sort of edge to it, wonderful, and appealing.
Dricka encompasses both a great tenderness and fragility in her singing, but also a sense of resilience. It’s the perfect voice for the song, if that makes sense, as it highlights and expresses the duality of her feelings in writing this. Feeling both strong, as any person who’s growing up and standing on their own has to be sooner or later, but also expressing an almost childish vulnerability.
It’s a very coming of age song, except it has none of the cutesiness we tend to attach to those words. It’s a gritty tune with killer vibes that will really make you think, and we highly suggest you go listen to it if you haven’t yet.
July 2020 – Max M. is an artist with a focus on blending the dream-like textures of EDM with the timeless melodies of great pop music. Recently, he took to the web to release a brand new EP. The new project stretches out towards different directions, highlighting Max M.’s incredibly remarkable artistic versatility.
One of the most distinctive perks of this release is the high quality of the production. The brand new release from Max M is entitled ‘Imaginary Problems’.
VINEMA SUMMER UK EURO EDM MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERES: The incredible ‘Max M’ is back with a break-free uplifting pop single and fun music video that will have you dancing free away from your ‘Imaginary Problems’ – Vinema POP UK
The sound is very punchy and immersive, yet it has a warm, organic and down-to-earth attitude, which really showcases the “human element” of the production side, and not just a sample-driven electronic arrangement. Unlike many releases in this particular genre, Imaginary Problems is far from becoming a collection of the usual cliches, readymade presents, and recycled thoughts.
A lot of heart went into the making of these songs, and the reward is a much more intriguing listening experience. If you enjoy the work of artists the likes of Avicii, Halsey and Steve Aoki, you are certainly going to enjoy what you hear now.
Learn more about Max M., and do not miss out on “Imaginary Problems” as well as other releases from this talented artist.
He’s seen as one of the world’s French experts in his IT field but this hasn’t stopped Max M from having two careers. Who says you can’t be an electronic music producer and a key player in an American multinational. Max M is planning to release a lot of great music in 2020, fresh off the successes of ‘Never Wanna Leave’ and ‘Under Water’ which ranked first and fifth on american DJ site: Digital DJ Pool.
Both tracks generated a lot of attention in South America, Denmark, Germany and the United Kingdom.
The tunes are infectious and will seduce from the very first notes. Max M’s love for music began in his teens when he used to compose and DJ. He then went on to concentrate on his other passion: computer science, which he studied at university. Through this, he embarked on a brilliant career. When he reached the age of 40, he decided to rekindle with his first love and took piano lessons and trained in production in order to get back behind the synthesizers for our greatest pleasure.

Guantanamo Bae took inspiration for this single from time spent working as a prison guard in Guantanamo Bay.

James Jager’s remix of the single adds to the original intention of GB by creating an epic dance track that is expertly produced, allowing the listener to disappear into the euphoric flow of the melody effortlessly. Various instrumental drops throughout the track, like the one found around the three minute mark, add just the right amount of space for anticipation to build, resulting in a gratifying sound that will absolutely please fans of dance music.
A powerful bass-line, coupled with panned instrumentation, an energetic beat and an addictive vocal line amalgamate to form a sound that is both unique to James Jager and true to the original single.

In the spring of 2018, Mackenzie Nicole unveiled her debut album, The Edge.
It’s songs tallied over 1 million Spotify streams, and her videos totalled 8 million-plus views.
On the outside, Mackenzie seemed to be a happy and fearless 18-year-old whose hard work and talent was starting to pay off. On the inside, she was literally fighting for her life.
She explains, “The first time I remember contemplating suicide, I was six years old, so I’ve been no stranger to mental illness. However, I learned how to cohabitate with my demons, viewing my suicidal ideation, depression, anxiety, and OCD as a sort of haunted house in which I was forced to reside.”
She continues, “When I thought I could suffer no more surprises at the hands of my mental state, I was blindsided by an acute mental breakdown that overtook my entire life. When my psychiatrist diagnosed me with bipolar I disorder, I felt a sense of relief.”
As Mackenzie dove into her ongoing journey of recovery, she also had a responsibility to start writing and recording a new album.
With a sense of obligation to her own mental health and a need to reach anybody else that might be struggling, Mystic was born.
“I knew immediately the story must be told. I promptly began recording an autobiographical chronicle of my odyssey through the stages of mental health.”
Tapping into a reflective and ethereal vibe throughout the songs and visual story, she shares her innermost insecurities, struggles, and triumphs, hoping to connect with others through shared experiences. Mystic is more than a concept album. It is a personal yet relatable journal both musically and visually.
“This is an important topic,” says Mackenzie. “I wanted to handle it in an artistic and personal way. If you have been in the dark place, you know it is a little monster always ready to destroy you. I hope people walk away with a greater understanding of themselves and others.
Mystic is out now on Strange Main (the pop music division of Strange Music.)

Pop Dance masters N2BLÜ return in true style with an incredible, epic and different pop single.
The new single ‘Better Now’ comes packed with an electro ‘Cloudbusting’ beat vibe and ‘The Might be Giants’ pop flair and could be their biggest hit yet.
Shimmering synths, pounding drums, warm sensitive vocals and lyrics, 80’s pop sensibility and a big song treatment.
If this doesn’t stick in your head nothing will.
When asked about the meaning behind the single Jonathan from N2BLÜ said:
“Better Now is a very personal song about a past relationship and a past version of myself (Jonathan). I used to feel unworthy of love and that lead me to relationships and people that weren’t the healthiest. The journey to self acceptance is not an easy one and it never really ends. It’s something we have to work on every day and all we can really hope for is to be better now than we were then”.

LYRICS SPOTLIGHT – BETTER NOW
Better Now by N2BLÜ
Just like a hole in the heart of the ocean
You make me wish that I could drown
Keep pouring myself into your void of emotions
As your anchor pulls me down
And I’m losing myself just to feed your ego
But it’s never enough to make this love grow
Even though we don’t fit, you don’t stop me trying Leaving me the only one crying
But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now
Better now Better now Better now Better now
Wearing the mask of someone who knows love
Your flashing colors draw me in
Painting my fantasy as you fit me like a glove
Where you end and I begin?
You keep drawing me in with flames of passion
When all that I want is your love reaction
Even though it’s not right, I still do it for you
Hoping someday you’ll be the one that’s true
But I know better now I know better I I know better now I know better I I know better now Better now
Better now Better now Better now Better now
You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve
You were the one I thought I wanted You were the one I thought I needed You were what I thought I deserved I deserve…

HISTORY OF N2BLÜ
The previous hit single from N2BLÜ was entitled ‘Again’.
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
Jamaican born rapper, Midnightview has been in the music scene for nearly a decade.
The music style of Midnightview has been compared to that of JayZ, J Cole and Drake with mixes of rock-n-roll.
His New Single “I Was One Orgasm Away From Falling In Love With You All And Then I Woke Up” features the lyrics:
“If I had to f**k a Kardashian it had to be Kendell” and his spit “I’m trying to be the next nigga on RiRi’s (Rihanna) hit list” is definitely worth a listen.

By Small Ruin is an anagram for Bryan Mullis, keeping his music and lifestyle as true to self as possible.
Following up from his recent single ‘All is Well’, By Small Ruin returns with the incredible new single ‘Feel Your Breath’.
‘Feel Your Breath’ is a beautiful, melodic and smooth voiced single with a dreamy, romantic and emotionally driving sound and vibe.
‘Feel Your Breath’ ifts you up and delivers you to the one that you LOVE!
When asked about the meaning and inspiration behind the new single, By Small Ruin said:
“A true story of two young lovers who must spend the first year of their relationship living across state lines, six hours apart from each other. Only getting to see one another every few weeks – the anticipation they feel grows stronger and stronger as they travel the long dark roads between each other’s houses”.
VINEMA UK POP ROCK PREMIERES: ‘Feel Your Breath’ is the best long distance love song ever from the prolific and melodic songwriter ‘By Small Ruin’ – Vinema UK
Busking since high school, the college dropout has made his way across the country playing to anyone who listened. His talent and dedication lead to sharing the stage with artists like DAWES, WILD and Briston Maroney.
As a teen, one of Bryan’s favourite activities with his friends was climbing water towers and hanging upside down from the top by only their knees. Bryan was notorious for doing what he wanted, when he wanted, including sneaking out of his parent’s house and hitch-hiking a 10-hour ride to Florida to surprise his girlfriend on the beach.
More recently, Bryan’s brother almost lost his life in a car accident. Dealing with those feelings inspired his musical journey that brought him unforetold adventures.
He often tells the story of being attacked in a convenience store which:
“lead to a full-fledged movie-like fight that included knocking over shelves and throwing beer bottles. The store was destroyed.”
From waking up to SWAT teams thinking the band’s van was owned by a nearby active shooter, to unexpectedly playing a nudist pool party of 100+ people, BSR’s thrilling lifestyle is certainly rendered in their music and performance.
The brand new single ‘Feel Your Breath’ is out now globally at all good digital music outlets on Elicit Hip Records, LLC.
LYRIC SPECIAL – FEEL YOUR BREATH – BY SMALL RUIN
Months alone
Long distance love with just our phones
I’ve travelled through the night
To knock on your door, turn on the lights
Now we’re face to face
And closer to the edge
Our hearts are racing fast
And I can feel your breath
My memory Won’t serve me well, I had to see
The smile that always gave me comfort
That soon one day, I could say
Now we’re face to face
And closer to the edge
Our hearts are racing fast
And I can feel your breath
When morning comes
I’m headed back, don’t worry, love
I won’t be sad
I’ll play in my mind this time we had
How we are face to face
Slow dancing to the edge
Our hearts are racing fast
And I can feel your breath
Now we’re face to face
And closer to the edge
Our hearts are racing fast
And I can feel your breath
Many people are led to believe that they should follow their heart. But from what we’ve learned about the 24 year old American Rapper Stefan Ross is that your conscious may be the move to …
The Soul/Funk group Kleopetrol from Braunschweig, Germany used the time and emotion that the corona lockdown brought to deliver a message of love, unity and Soul Power to the people.
Recording the horns and shooting the official music video was quite a challenge keeping safety distances but in the end it felt very much relieving for everyone. If something seems dismal and heavy try dancing to it and you will see that the clouds will soon wash away.
What are you going to do when all this sh*t is done?

It’s majestic, it’s explosive
A young Soul/Funk group from Brunswick, Germany that combines the love for 60s and 70s R&B Music with a political message of unity, self-determination and Soul Power.
Vocalist Tiana Kruškić knows what she is preaching; beginning with her refugee background and evolving into her outspokenness for women’s rights all around the globe. Her Bosnian heritage promises a glimpse at Balkan folklore and strikingly supported by the three-piece horn section.
The three siblings on drums, bass and guitar round up the unique groove of the band that reminds of Funk-activist luminaries like Sly Stone, Tina Turner and James Brown.
Even if their debut EP is set to be released later this year they already got the attention of Soul and Funk legends like Greg Boyer (Parliament Funkadelic, Maceo Parker) and Gary Winters (Bootsy Collins, Fred Wesley).
I Passed Away has already gained global attention from world famous names in the industry, working alongside Charlie Shuffler who was with Lil Peep and soon to be released songs made by 16yrold and CashMoneyAP. …
Extraordinary times requires the same extraordinary efforts to equalise the situation and none more so has been exemplified by the Keyworkers around the world.
While we all in our own small ways did our bit to ease the pressure on our health infrastructures, it seems incomparable to the front line staff who in many cases have literally given their lives to save others.
The word Hero should only be used in such cases where someone stepped out beyond the call of duty and gave everything to make the world a kinder and more stable place to live in.
Feeling the need to honour this sacrifice and bravery Irish solo artist Dar.Ra has stepped up to the plate and written the ultimate anthem for the Key Workers, to thank and remember long after this situation has changed.
It’s all too easy sometimes to forget what previous generations have done to change the world for the better. People sit in the luxury of criticising actions of people who showed leadership in times of crisis. The classic statement of ‘What Did You Do In The Great War or The Great Pandemic’ will always ring true, and for those of us with a conscience will be able to say I did my bit.
The tribute song is titled ‘Stand Up For The Heroes’ is a solemn, strings, vocal and piano arrangement that drives home the enormity of the situation with a lyric that tells the story of the every day fight in the frontlines. While some gave all, some just caused more confusion, amplified by the lyric
“The world is unsteady on its feet, some trying so hard while others close their eyes’
Equally followed by the lines
‘So much is owed to you, and that sacrifice will never be repaid’.
While we are reminded by the vocals that the ‘Tears that have fallen will never be forgotten’ we are urged to pay our respects by ‘Standing Up For Heroes’.
That standing up is not just about applause but by valuing their services with the money they deserve.

Dar.Ra is currently the Music Blog Cover Star for Top Hitz UK Music Blog. Dar.Ra will also be taking the UK New Music Radio station, Londonfm.digital over once every hour at a random time.
Dar.Ra will be talking directly to Londonfm.digital listeners about the song and share their messages of Coronavirus related stories of hope, love and triumph.
Every piece of history needs a piece of music that sums up the moment as Vera Lynn’s ‘We’ll Meet Again’ did during in WW2, maybe ‘Stand Up For The Heroes’ will do the same for generations to come.
Stand Up For The Heroes will be released as a stand alone track on Kusha Deep Records and proceeds will go towards funding for people who are in the frontlines helping to change the situation.
“Rock and roll is a nuclear blast of reality in a mundane world where no-one is allowed to be magnificent.” – Kim Fowley, Manager of the Runaways.

When asked about the meaning and inspiration behind the powerful new single, they revealed that:
Romantic nostalgia is the inspiration behind ‘Again’
Just when you think you’re done with Love, you find out that Love isn’t done with you.
‘Again’ explores the wants and desires inside each of us. Even when we have convinced ourselves that Love is too painful or isn’t worth it, a “Spark” inside each of us is there to remind us that we’re not meant to be alone and that we will all be found in our own time.

After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
Cajun electro/industrial act SINthetik Messiah has released a new EP, titled Split Damage.
Although his past work has taken on the more abrasive sounds of industrial, rock, and aggressive electro, the EP’s two tracks find Bug Gigabyte pursuing a down-tempo atmospheric style, which he describes as “post-trip-hop.”
Appearing on the EP’s first track, “Languish,” is Cat Hall of fellow electronic act Dissonance, lending her signature layers of emotive harmonized vocals; she describes the track as:
“a song that is about the pain of separation, longing – suffering that goes along with unrequited love; always wanting to dive into those feelings and know that the love was personal and real, while bleeding from the frustration of being helpless to dull the sensation.”
Delving further into the ’90s trip-hop influences, the EP’s second track, “Emotional Therapy” is as its title suggests a “therapy session” for Gigabyte as he addresses the loss of his birth mother to stage four lung cancer one year ago.

Musical Artist, Amel Rose, Debuts 2 New Singles, ‘Your Story’ and ‘Atrocity’.
Amel Rose’s music can best be described as a cross between pop and hip-hop with some soul and rhythm and blues rounding out her signature style. The catchy, toe-tapping tunes have earned her some early rave reviews and more than 90K streams since early release on Spotify, iTunes and other major streaming services last month.
VINEMA UK MUSIC PREMIERES: ‘Amel Rose’ never fails to deliver as she releases two exciting singles in a worldwide double drop of the catchy, dope and cool ‘Your Story’ and ‘Atrocity’ – Vinema UK
Yet, what helps drive the special sound that allow her vocals to shine is the collaboration with internationally acclaimed DJ, producer and songwriter DJ Fredy Muks that help bring these songs to life. Muks is a member of The Recording Academy, best known for his eclectic DJ slant and mash-ups of popular hits with classic favourites.
And while the pair would seem to be a mismatch on the surface, the blend of their talents is an ideal match. Rose grew up in Bellevue, Texas – population 347 – before moving to Los Angeles – population four million – with her sister to pursue her music career.
Her love for music blossomed early, inspired by her grandmother who introduced her to songs of an earlier generation through lullabies by night and classic vinyl spinning on the family turntable by day. To date, her fan base has been largely in Arizona, Texas and California but that is expected to all change as the broader launch of her singles expands access to the rest of the country.
“I’m really excited to introduce myself personally and artistically to a bigger audience through Your Story and Atrocity.
I feel it is important to start out new relationships with fans by showing them who I am so they understand the heart of my songs,” said Rose, who’s Instagram following has spiked.
“I am really encouraged by the positive early reception from new fans and can’t wait for my old fans to see how Fredy has helped me spread my wings and bring my sound to a whole new level.”
Rose and Muks are already working on additional music to be released later this spring with live acoustic appearances to be scheduled later in the year after the COVID-19 pandemic has eased restrictions on public gatherings.

The incredible N2BLÜ return with their original electronic pop flavour on their powerful new release entitled ‘’Dance’.
When N2BLÜ were asked about the real life story behind the song ‘Dance’ they said “We dedicate this song to the memory of Chris Allen Mason (DJ C.A.). Chris was one of my (Jonathan) best friends, a fantastic DJ, and one of the reasons I am still making music today. This song is a celebration of our friendship & mutual love, music. Chris helped me during one of the darker times in my life and believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself.
His catchphrase, “Life may not always be the party you had hoped for, but while you’re here, you might as well dance!” is what this song is all about”.
N2BLÜ who have recently released a string of Independent hit releases are a creative and inventive dance pop duo with a very strong lyrical outlet hidden in their shiny pop sensibility.
When asked about the production and creation of the track ‘Dance’ they revealed that “Jay is the Artist/songwriter/singer and Kosat is the producer”.
BRAND NEW SINGLE – DANCE
Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.

‘Wrista’ releases ‘Stay Please’ that will touch you with it’s melodic and heartfelt Hip-Hop Vibe – Vinema UK
Wrista, a Hip Hop artist from a small Island called Bahrain, located in the Middle East, releases a beautiful, picturesque track that will literally gravitate and transcend you into a different dimension. ‘Stay Please’ is built upon broken affection, misplaced love and human tendencies to seek affection even if it can be damaging and painful.
Piano based hip hop beats and velvety female vocals on the song lay the groundwork, only to be accompanied and followed by Wrista’s deep vocals that truly provide that rugged, yet smooth flare to the song. Inspired by hurt, Wrista takes elements from his life and incorporates it into a musical masterpiece.
A call & response outlook is the theme of the song, by which the female expresses her strength as a woman and her ability to be independent, whilst still clinging on to her broken relationship, seeking the flame to be rekindled yet again.
Stay Please, the second official track from Wrista’s upcoming album ‘Diverse Thoughts’ is only one of the fine pieces of work Wrista has released as a music video. The visual accompaniment is just as stunning as the song. Hip clothing and vibrant colors are the main components of the video, which are supported by smooth transitions and creative cinematic approaches towards the song.
Wrista believes that true music derives from personal experience and is making waves with his music, waves that are yet to be discovered. Being in a country that consists of roughly a million people, making it as an artist would appear to be easy. However, authentic and genuine music doesn’t get the hype it deserves where Wrista currently resides.
The authenticity behind his music however, is recognizable by anyone who appreciates good music.
Check out this fine piece of work, you won’t be disappointed.

From tragedy, there often comes something beautiful and uplifting. It’s definitely the case of young pop musician Jillian Ferrara.
Coming off from a life of bullying and struggle, as well as dealing with abandonment and an array of mental health issues, the talented Ferrara found her solace in the arts world and decided to pursue a lifelong passion for songwriting and music.
Her latest single, entitled “Full Circle”, explores precisely this story of growing through pain and finding yourself when the whole world seems to be against you, hence the name of the song.
‘You can’t bring me down,
I’ve been down and out’
Ferrara’s pleasant, flowing voice sends out a reassuring message that there is good, even in the worst times. This is very well captured by a scene in the accompanying music video, where the grown-up Ferrara, exasperated, locks herself in a bathroom and runs her hands over her face. Brought down by the constant abuse from her peers, she glances in the mirror and sees herself as a small child, standing behind her and reminding the singer of the years of suffering she’s endured.
In the end, this vision helps Ferrara emerge stronger and more composed, for her younger self’s sake.
But let’s go beyond the powerful message of the song and the great lyrical flow, for a moment.
https://youtu.be/PjgsPYGv9J8
The melody itself transcends any one particular genre, classifying itself most likely as pop, though not being limited to that genre. Bearing an almost esoteric feel, “Full Circle”s melody is happy and uplifting and paired with the tasteful dancing of the girls in the video (among which, Ferrara herself) it doesn’t fail to inspire the listener to dance, too. That being said, it’s a great track for the clubs.
The song mixes Ferrara’s seductive voice with almost aggressive beats, referencing both her rich cultural influence (from Shirley Temple to Madonna) as well as her extensive preparation as a modern dancer.
Fresh from the release of her debut EP, called ‘Intimacy’, featuring the hit track “The Worst Way”, Ferrara gives no indication of stopping or tiring of music and her young, but prosperous career, promises to blossom immensely in the next few years, under the guidance of Beat Author Records.
Let’s face it – we all love music that tells a story, but at the same time sounds really great. Whether it’s a smooth-flowing love song, a growing up story or indeed, a heavier subject, it fills you with the most incredible feeling, when told right.
One such song is Nomina’s brand new single “Fetish Daddy”, a mesmerizing track that almost forces you to sit still and pay attention. Zimbabwe-born and now residing in Germany, Nomina is the ambassador for the “United Nation World Peace Berlin”, and as such, she’s a young woman on a mission.
“Fetish Daddy” has remarkably upbeat vibes and an easy-flowing melody, almost deceivingly so, for in truth, it deals with one of the most serious and upsetting issue of our world – that of sexual abuse, something that millions of girls face today. The music video, in particular, illustrates this really well. It tells the story of a man who objectifies the women around them, treating them as little more than sexual playthings. It also tells the story of a young woman, presumably his lover, who gets tired of his sexist attitude and breaks free from him, understanding her own worth.
With its’ catchy, easy rhythm, “Fetish Daddy” is a most empowering tune. It guides listeners towards peace and breaking free, while at the same time bringing joy to their souls. What I love about this, both the song and the accompanying video, is that it’s obvious they are born out of great passion and desire to make something beautiful, but also meaningful, perhaps to help someone who is in a bad place right now.
To me, that’s equally important in the making of a great artist, not just talent. And it seems Nomina has it all – looks, a smooth, mesmerizing voice, ample talent, as well as great vision and a good heart.
But then, Nomina was never one for ‘easy’ pop songs. Having finished a business studies degree, she turned her attention towards her true passion – music, and conquered the hearts of millions of listeners with hits like “Mamaland” and “Don’t Cry Africa”.
And now, she’s putting the finishing touches on her debut album, which I must say I definitely look forward to, as this young woman has great potential in the music business, in my opinion.

From the first few beats, QüeDavinciYO’s “Yes I do” gives you the feel of one of those old school Hip Hop tracks, reminiscent of street music’s golden era. As one of the young ladies that appear in the music video for QüeDavinciYO’s dope new track says, we’re looking at some of Brooklyn’s finest here.
https://youtu.be/7aEkPgz2EXI
The song is repetitive, in nature, which makes it catchy and easy to listen to. Although I first listened to it while working, I got the feel of a good driving song. You know, something to listen to on the radio and just drive, perhaps with no real destination in mind. It’s catchy not just for the easily memorable lyrics, but also for the way it makes you feel good about yourself. As one can guess from the title, “Yes I do” is a very positive tune. By constantly chanting “yes I do”, QüeDavinciYO manages to get you feeling better about yourself, even when you’re not all that happy.
Getting back to the video, I think it’s perfect for the song. Combining random shots of crews of young people just hanging out on the streets with images of QüeDavinciYO singing on the hood of a car at night, it offers the viewer the ideal insight into the neighborhood, which is important, because these are the people and this is the place (presumably) that inspired QüeDavinciYO to write this song. It’s undoubtedly the mood of his day-to-day and by seeing it, we can better appreciate the song.
“Yes I do” is about affirmative action, it’s about believing in yourself, a trait many young people lack these days, which makes it that much more necessary.

Born in New Orleans, Jonathan Arceneaux started singing not long after he learned to talk and hasn’t stopped singing since!
At a very young age Jonathan began his career as a singer in a church choir and started taking voice lessons in both classical and musical theatre styles. During his High School years in Baton Rouge, LA, Jonathan continued singing in the choir and participated in several musical theatre productions. He also started to tap into his writing talents as a freshman in High School, drawing inspiration from some of his favourite bands and artists like Better Than Ezra, Duncan Sheik and Savage Garden.
Over the years following, Jonathan began to realize that his true passion was singing and writing Pop music, so he changed his focus from classical and music theatre to be a full time Pop singer/songwriter. He is a passionate, true artist with emotional expression through his writing, production, and performance. Jonathan also enjoys collaborating with other artists to meld unique tastes in sound and texture.
Collaborations
In 2008 he worked with hit producers I-ROC (Universal Music/HappyMadison Productions/BZEE ROC) and RADIO (Chris Brown’s “Dreamer”/Blake Lewis’ “End of the World”).
As a result of the collaboration with RADIO in 2009, Jonathan released “From TheAshes”, under the name Jay Arseno, his sophomore follow up to his debut album in 2008, “Face In You Crowd”, under the name Jonathan Adam.
After the loss of his father to kidney cancer in August of 2009, Jonathan took some time off from music and in 2013 he decided to move from his home in Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA for an immersive experience in the heart of the music industry.
While he learned a lot about the industry and himself, Los Angeles was not a good fit for him. So, in 2015 Jonathan decided to get back to his roots and move back home to the Big Easy, New Orleans. Not long after moving to New Orleans, Jonathan met Konstantin Smorodnikov, a personal trainer originally from Russia who had a love and talent for music as well.
Jonathan and Konstantin had an instant connection as friends and decided to start working on music together. While Jonathan came from more of a pop music writing background and classical vocal training, Konstantin’s background was in the club and dance music scene. The next couple of years lead to the duo developing a seamless blending of Jonathan’s lyrics and vocals and Konstantin’s beats and instrumentation to create a sound all their own. In July 2018 they were approached by Loren Israel to participate in his song writing mentorship program.
Little did Jonathan and Konstantin know that this would be an integral turning point in their musical journey.
After a year of instruction, guidance, and tough love from Loren and by honing their skills in song writing and lyricism, they have emerged as the duo, N2BLÜ.
Born and raised in Kostroma, Russia, Konstantin Smorodnikov fell in love with music at early age. It was the structure of rhythm and arrangement that most interested him.
Around 15 is when he was introduced to computer music production.
At 18 moved to America where spent most of his 20’s going out to local dance clubs and learning all he could about technical side of production and sound engineering. He drew inspiration from DJ’s like PeterRauhofer and Abel Aguilera.
In 2016 he met Jonathan Arceneaux. They realized that they both shared a passion for similar sounds and ideas in music and decided to give a musical partnership a shot.
When asked about the release and it’s inspiration they said “This song is about finding the person/people who “match your kind of crazy”. We all have our issues when it comes to love and relationships and finding the person who gets you can be one of the biggest challenges. Personally, I (Jonathan) struggle with depression and anxiety, which is generally stigmatized, unfortunately. Match My Crazy is about my struggle with love and relationships,
but hopefully a way to help end the stigma against mental health”.
is a singer/songwriter, producer and poet who lives in New York City.
