New Music Video: Liar – Andreas Wijk

Swedish singer/songwriter ANDREAS WIJK unveiled his debut video – with such poise and style, I must say – for single, ‘Liar’,

Boasting an elegant fusion of R&B and electro pop, the three-minute production sees Andreas – also a model for YSL and Tommy Hilfiger – expresses his agony over a lost love, through his rich pop/soulful false falsetto.

Music has always been Andreas’ passion and at the age of 15, he put up his first cover on YouTube – but his experience in the industry hasn’t been so straightforward. After a consistency releasing videos, which caught the eye of a major label in Los Angeles, he found himself trapped in a dispute label deal for years. “I wrote music all the time, but couldn’t release anything.” Andreas said of the experience.

Instead, he created a name in media by working on huge campaigns for brands like Tommy Hilfiger, Dolce & Gabanna and YSL. Today, Andreas returned to the music by releasing his project 100% independent.

So here your chance to check out Andreas’ latest offering…enjoy!

The video was directed by Andreas Wijk and Joel Hordegard.

Song of the Day: Half of Me (Acoustic Version) – Yasmeen

The acoustic version of ‘Half of Me’ is a brutally honest portrayal of how YASMEEN felt when she met her ex’s girlfriend for the first time – which happened one night in the studio.

While working on another song, she felt the need to do something more stripped back musically. Something more real and honest. She wanted to let out the raw emotions, of letting her ex go, and how meeting his new girlfriend forced those feelings onto paper. Her manager, heard the song, and said it was her best vocal performance. Have a listen…

Album Review: Lightheaded II – Dizzy Rambunctious

For his latest project, DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS braves it out and goes on a turbulent journey of dealing with a heartache from a relationship.

Starting off with melancholic tones, reflecting the first stages of a break-up, ‘Lightheaded II’ offers glimmer of light with an upbeat offering through ‘Heartbreak’, possessing the raciness of guitar plucks with along the EDM-ish drive.

With the tempo tuned down a notch or two, the second half of the album is free of the moody presence of the dense bassline and makes way for those carefree moments which is conveyed through a chirpy, modern take of boombap and a rather flirtatious jazz/soul combo (we’re talking Al Jarreau style).

Through ‘Lightheaded II’, DIZZY RAMBUNCTIOUS shows no boundaries to his talents, taking on a Simply Red’s Classic ‘Holding Back The Years’, through track, ‘Holding On’. What I love about this album is that it tells a clear story with minimal words…check it out…

Must Listens: Broken Love, Depression, Brighter Days, Holding On, Just To Get By
