Belau drops new single Faraway ft. Hien before their third LP

Rising dreamtronica duo BELAU is back with a new single called ‘Faraway’ featuring Vietnamese alt r’n’b artist, Hien.

The dynamic pair shed some light on their new single: “It’s a milestone in a person’s life when you are able to separate what really serves you from what you want. it is an operation that reflects such human greatness that paradoxically leads to the convergence of the two. through pure letting go, something will be at our service if we do not want it to be ours. ‘Faraway’ is a correlation of two people who live in each other’s hearts, but one or the other lives cyclically under anxiety – once and then again. it is not clear why the contradiction cannot be resolved despite their will; their relationship is eternal, bound forms. they always affect each other, distance has no influence. the idea comes to fruition in the next songs of the upcoming full-length”

Belau are currently finalising their third LP called ‘Apriori’, coming out on 27th of October. Hungary’s No.1 musical export good, Belau will continue their European tour in 2023 included some clubs shows and summer festivals in France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Romania.

K-Riz drops video for ‘Middle Finger U’, a track for naysayers

K-RIZ makes a quick return with a new video for track, ‘Middle Finger U,’ an ode to haters. Served over succulent beats, ‘Middle Finger U’ is one of many standouts from his highly-anticipated third full-length album, One Way Ticket, released last Friday (15th September) via Birthday Cake Records.

Directed by Sergei Subbotin and Jason WH, and featuring cameos from Edmonton hip-hop artist Moto and Mexican rapper La Tytan, the video radiates with optimism as an act of resistance, while highlighting various locations from K-Riz’s recently adopted city of Calgary.

“The video is a representation of joy and being carefree,” says K-Riz. “It’s that feeling that no matter what people say, or how they feel about it, we’ll be out here having fun in the world. It’s very unapologetic.”

Opening with the crackling of vinyl and cuts courtesy of scratch DJ Fatrok, ‘Middle Finger U’ nods to the golden era’s most rousing boom-bap rhythms. On the track, K-Riz offers a message to the naysayers who oppose the musical life path he’s chosen: “There’s no ceiling/Only space above me to occupy.” All the while, wishing cynics well in his eternal quest towards self-betterment (“Don’t Judge”), and lifting up the next generation of unsure artists (“Be Great”). Exposing the loneliness of making art when others don’t support you, he offers some words to live by to anyone aspiring for more: “They may tell you that you can’t be great/So tell them you already are great/You’re just on your way,” he raps on “Be Great.” Indeed, it’s a statement of true growth and gratitude for the gifts that life has given him, and his sense of obligation to give back to others like him.

Song of the Day: Too Young For That – Emma Ogier

Rising singer and songwriter EMMA OGIER continues to introduce listeners to her Americana-flavored indie-pop sound and undeniable lyrical prowess with latest single, ‘Too Young For That’. Wading through the muddy emotional waters of young adulthood, Emma reminisces on a relationship that took place during most of her formative years. “‘Too Young For That’ is about love that has been separated physically but still holds ties mentally,” she says.

Hailing from Houston and currently based in Nashville, 19-year-old Emma Ogier is quickly making a name for herself. Drawing inspiration from established artists like Lori McKenna, Phoebe Bridgers, and Joni Mitchell, her unique sound blends elements of country and indie pop, creating an evocative atmosphere that captures the hearts of her listeners. Her talent has not gone unnoticed by her musical heroes, as evidenced by Maggie Rogers joining her for multiple duets on TikTok.

She’s already performed shows in Nashville and Los Angeles, and recently wrapped up a US tour supporting Michaela Slinger. As she continues to gain recognition and accolades, there’s no doubt that Emma Ogier is poised for a successful breakthrough this year.

Released via Olympic Recordings, ‘Too Young For That’ is her third single released thus far, following her debut ‘First Base’ and follow-up, ‘Consider Me A Winner.’ All three tracks will be included on Emma’s upcoming debut EP, due out later this year. Have a listen to ‘Too Young For That’ below…
