Song of the Day: H.O.M.E. (Here On My Everything) – Chef Porter

CHEF PORTER is the musical moniker of seasoned celebrity chef and musician, Ed Porter. In the culinary world he is known as a veteran Executive Chef with experience in some of the most influential kitchens in New York City. He has competed on and won Guy’s Groceries Games, and he had a starring role in Netflix’s hit reality culinary competition show, Pressure Cooker.

Earlier this year, Chef Porter dropped his debut single ‘Pressure Cooker’, inspired by his time on the show. That track introduced a skilled emcee and singer with a taste for old-school beats and organic R&B vibes. The multifaceted artist continues the evolution of his sound with his sophomore single.

He follows up with ‘H.O.M.E. (Here On My Everything)’. The track opens on a jazz guitar intro before the beat drops on a chill 90’s groove. Chef Porter and J Isaac trade verses, rapping and singing a sweet hip-hop slow jam about the true meaning of home, love, and personal growth.

Hace said in a recent interview with Stopbeefinradio “I created my new project “Away From Evil” as a way to keep in contact with him”.

Now that he graduated high school, he is ready to travel the country showcasing his music and telling his story…and through telling his story, Hace has already garnered a lot of support from djs and promoters.

Following the release of her EP, ‘Lucid Dreampop’, which claimed the blog’s Album of the Month back in March and also scoops the Album of the Week title twice, visual artist/musician THYRA HILDEN continues to push the boundaries as a new singer/songwriter with album debut, ‘LOVE DRUGS’.

With the help with fellow musicians, Lucas Caddeo (Production, keys, bass, guitar), Martin Drago (Guitar) and Mads Jensen (Drums), the album goes on a journey of ironic twists and happy-sad sweet-pain paradoxes, where Thyra has a minimal and very direct language that captures the most difficult things in life.

Thyra says of the inspiration behind the album: “Love and loneliness are basically chemical processes in the brain and body, and this knowledge creates a slightly absurd twist to joy, longing and devotion”

Danish-born Thyra Hilden have attracted international media attention from Reuters, Euronews, BBC and many more for her mesmerizing dreamy sound which is widely described as existential pop.

‘LOVE DRUGS’ album is now available across various music platforms. Why not check it out below…
