Song of the Day: Gundam – Danny Polo

It’s time to turn the lights down low as independent artist DANNY POLO‘s latest musical offering, ‘Gundam’ has a highly seductive lick of his signature Latin touch…

With vibrant Dominican and Colombian roots, Danny’s sound has already been on quite the journey. From Nashville to Los Angeles, he has been praised for his “pure flair, smooth flow and hot beats”, which earned him recognition from industry tastemakers like A&R Factory and Spotify, where his songs have previously been highlighted in New Music Friday Finland and Denmark, as well as Fresh Finds R&B and Latin. Multifaceted, he also achieved success as a producer and songwriter for esteemed artists such as CUBE, Devin Morrison and Landon Sears, solidifying his position as the “up next” talent, according to
iHeart Radio.

Ever dedicated to honoring his rich heritage, Polo recently traveled back and forth to Colombia, immersing himself in the cultural tapestry that fuels his artistic expression. The result is the mesmerizing ‘Gundam’, where Spanish and English share a passionate dance. Co-written with Sebastian Ferreira, the sultry track narrates the timeless tale of a distant rendezvous, embracing the fleeting yet intoxicating allure of a transient lover.

Elevating the auditory experience to new heights, ‘Gundam’ will be brought to life through visuals directed by the visionary Zarza, channeling the nostalgic aesthetic of yesteryear.

Milan Ring Releases New Single ‘Leo’

Celebrated Eora/Sydney R&B musician, producer and engineer MILAN RING shares her new single ‘Leo’, the latest to be lifted from her love-struck forthcoming second studio album, Mangos, due out May 10 via Astral People Recordings.

Cut from the lust-colored first half of the record, the glittery disco-funk of ‘Leo’ saunters in with co-production from polyrhythmic trio OYOBI, lithely fusing hip hop and R&B influences with accents of Milan’s ever-expressive guitar playing in a way that only she can. Chanting ‘You bring out the Leo in me’, ‘Leo’ represents the highpoint of Mangos’ infatuation, signaling the astrological alignment of compatibility and honoring an appreciation for someone who really, truly sees you.

Playful and inquisitive, Milan Ring’s Mangos is the epitome of radiant summer, oozing endless possibilities and a profound sense of lightness as she flirts across genres from alt-pop to electronica whilst also staying true to her R&B roots. A hopeless romantic, Milan Ring asks us to surrender to love on Mangos, inviting us inward as she embarks on a journey of love that is universal yet individually complex. Through her lyrics, experimental mixing, multiple string arrangements and voice memos recorded by close friends, she outlines the stages of a relationship across one year, likening the journey to the inevitable change in seasons, reminding us that nothing stays still forever.

Threading together previous singles ‘Mangos’, ‘Quicksand’ and ‘Photograph’, ‘Leo’ arrives as the fullest and most distilled expression of her beguiling talents to date. Between them, the singles have already garnered praise and support from the likes of COLORS, NME, The Guardian, CRACK Magazine, Wonderland Magazine, ACCLAIM, Northern Transmissions, AUD$ and many more, alongside rotation adds from Double J, FBi Radio, 2SER and extensive airplay across BBC Radio 1’s Future Artists with Jack Saunders, Future Sounds with Clara Amfo, Chillest Show with Sian Eleri, BBC 6Music, triple j and community radio stations around Australia.

Chilean Hip-Hop group Scott Y Los Pelmazos tackle social claustrophobia on ‘Naftalina (2022)’ from Self-Titled Compilation LP

Formed in 2018, SCOTT Y LOS PELMAZOS is an alternative hip-hop band hailing from Puente Alto and La Florida, Chile. They present themselves as an alternative to traditional hip-hop, drawing from modern influences, unafraid of experimentation and rejecting confinement to a particular style.

The group has released a self-titled compilation of previous records for Analog Machine Records that’s mostly composed of tracks taken from their Scotty Tape 01. It features the somber single ‘Naftalina (2022),’ a track inspired by social claustrophobia and feeling lost in life.

Scotty Tape 01 taught us that we work better when we allow for ideas from all the band members. Everyone came with their own demo, and then the rest of us would add to it, so the project never resolved around one person. We also learned more about how the music business works since we had to release the project on our own. We had no label or media outlets to help us, and had to secure our own distribution. – member Claudio Vasquez.
