Messages By Treasure Gnomes Pulls At Those Pining Heart Strings

18 Oct

Treasure Gnomes redefines what a love anthem should sound like. With the upbeat tempo and ebb and flow of tracks you would hear in a club, everything works together into its own masterpiece. The song originally started out as a love and hate letter to an ex. A lot of pining love songs usually set you up in the place or time where you saw them last. The unique thing about Treasure Gnome’s song is the rawness and realness of the lyrics as well.

With lyrics such as you got me leaving messages, you got me on that hang up call, saying things no one ought to hear definitely connects to that energy post breakup. As the song goes on and it morphs into the feelings of having to go on without that person connects to the almost second phase of melancholy the person going through the heartbreak will have to endure. Paired up with the fueled energetic beats and layered tracks, there are tones of anguished resilience of the heart as well.

The vocal contributions of Lachi throughout add a level of softness to the anger of a breakup or love lost. High and low the lyrics, music arrangement, and vocals all wrap up to bring you heartbreak in a song.

With Hip Hop & Rap musicians rapidly fusing original beats, collaborating with crossover genre artists, and evolving in sub genres, Bulgarian Hip-Hop/Pop artist Robbie Z hops into the world at a perfect and opportune time.

GEA Sings With Her Heart First In Newly Released EP Snow

20 Apr

GEA is a master storyteller as she crafts her songs with her unique sound. With her EP Snow, there is a mixture of easy listening tunes and heavier ones as well.  The song Snow itself was influenced by a death of her friend. The story is of a young boy who tells his mother that he came to the world to be a snow angel. Fast forward 10 years later, and he passed away when their town got the first snow of Winter. Linking up that song with the way GEA delivers the memoriam is breathtakingly heartfelt. The musical arrangement is that of another world, with piano, violin, and synthy dream pop working together to yield a galaxy signature sound. Additionally, when listeners pair up GEA with similar artists she spans more than Nordic rock, but also can be put in the categories of EDM, Indie Pop, Dream-Pop. Only gaining recognition in September 2017 with her music, she has been nominated by the NBT Music Radio in Germany for that album and many others ever since including Hollywood Intl Golden Film Award Best Soundtrack Award for other songs. Hard work pays off as she recently released her single Time at SXSW this March and her showcase was completely sold out. By the power of connection and having a pure and organic sound, listeners recognize that GEA is unapologetically herself and the popularity follows.

Now You See Me EP Unleashes Electro-Beats & Riveting Pop

9 Feb

David Browning wows with his modern tracks from his Now You See Me EP. Upon first listening, his music sounds like a mix of theatrical songs and Canadian pop that has been playing in my headphones since high school.
