New Track: Time – Sevdaliza

time-new-single

After the success of her self-released enigmatic EP Children of Silk and the worldwide screening of her debut short film The Formula, SEVDALIZA  had an incredible year of touring the world independently without having to release her debut album. Now the songstress/producer is back with her latest piece of music, Time.

The avant-garde number has been crafted over the past year and a half, and was composed in five different countries by SEVDALIZA. 

Her melancholic, visceral voice floats over beds of mechanical instrumentation, creating dynamics of chaos and order. Hailing from the Netherlands, SEVDALIZA’s songs have a philosophical questioning character and her air of independent power is strongly present throughout her career.

Diverse comparisons have been drawn yet it remains a difficulty to specify her in a particular genre. Rhythmic tensions build slowly into chaotic climaxes. Every retribution of her lyrics become more intense and personal, yet she isn’t able to break from that obscure statue of a woman.

So get ready to hear innovation at its best; it’s time to check out Time.

DISTRICT 11 duo, singer/songwriter Melinda ‘Mel B’ Burns and producer Isaac Reid, released a brand new single entitled Sunshine.

Forms the initial spark to the last note, the Michael Jackson -esque lyrics embody a calm tranquil energy that carries raw emotion through every measure.

So it’s time to iron out your stress…have a listen to Sunshine.

Album Review: A Band On Hope – A Band On Hope

a-band-on-hope

Award-winning alt hip-hop duo A BAND ON HOPE have released their 13-track album of the same name last week…and you’ve been warned; it’s not your run-of-the-mill mainstreamer.

Producer/multi-instrumentalist Kristian Sharpe and lyricist Ill Literate do not present a single dull moment. The two cleverly fuse hip hop, rock, funk, soul, blues, electro and a hint of jazz with raging guitar riffs and infectious (80-ish) flying synths which gives a respectfully wayward and futuristic feel to each offerings in the collection.

A Band on Hope is just like Marmite – you’ll either love it or hate it; there’s no in-between with this one…but the only way to find out is to hit that play button on the four-track sampler.

Must Listens:  Dead Angels, Low Budget High Life, Phantom of Hipopera, Russian Dolls, Spaced Out Break Out
