Song of the Day: Lonely Again – JVSTN

New York-based pop artist JVSTN.’s latest single ‘Lonely Again’, possesses an upbeat electro pop sound, documenting the joys of being single again after a rough breakup. Since the successful release of his first two original songs last year – ‘Lost & Found’ and ‘Dancing with the Enemy’ (which claimed the blog’s Song of the Month title in February 2022) – JVSTN. has been working on new projects and can’t wait to add to his collection with this pop bop.

JVSTN says of his latest offering, “This song started years ago when my barber pointed out how he liked the Weeknd’s use of disco samples. Playing around with some disco sounds and sending ideas back and forth with my writing partner Charlie Aldrich, we landed somewhere really special. The song is about the excitement and relief of being single after a recent breakup and reclaiming your autonomy. Dancing between bitter grudges and blissful indifference, we can all now sing along about how happy we are to be ‘lonely again’.”

Song of the Day: Draco Malfoy Freestyle – Junior NRB

Written and recorded on the spur of the moment after discovering the beat online, JUNIOR NRB‘s single ‘Draco Malfoy Freestyle’, showcases the rapper’s prowess in dominating any beat with his signature witty lyricism and fast flow. The track samples children singing in another language, which is pitch-shifted to give an eerie feel before Junior and the bass come in hard.

Junior makes his intentions clear that he’s “Tryna be the greatest there has been / I ain’t tryna end up a has-been”. Describing the process, Junior says “it was about having fun, I wanted to get things out my system before my next project drops which will be more serious”.

The music video for ‘Draco Malfoy Freestyle’ was shot in Sheffield, soon after the Coventry-based rapper moved there to study Fashion. Director GM, who worked with Junior previously, creates a DIY-feel as, like the track, the video was made quickly, being shot in Junior’s home and neighbourhood. When writing the song Junior saw its visuals and brought them to life in the music video, with rapid, energetic shots that match his lyrics. Junior makes his mark on his new hometown in the video, with the final shots being him rapping whilst overlooking Sheffield.

I just wanted to write a song that described this idea of love as something romantic, that transcends all distances, something that’s not really under your control.”

Originally from Modena, Italy, Her Skin – real name Sara Ammendolia – started writing songs when she was fifteen years old and always had a huge passion for music. The first song she ever liked was Le Freak by Chic and she now takes inspiration for her own music from many bands / artists including, Sibylle Baier, Vashti Bunyan, Mac DeMarco, Beirut, Joni Mitchell, Jay Malinowski, The Kinks, the Head and the Heart.

This year she has performed at numerous festivals including SXSW in Texas, The Great Escape in Brighton, Mondo in New York and Primavera in Barcelona. She has also done multiple tours around the world taking in Italy, France, Germany, Holland, Hungary, India and United States.
