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…

Today, MASEGO shared the official video for his new single, ‘You Never Visit Me.’ The GRAMMY®-nominated artist shot the video in Brazil with director Malison Soares. While Masego savors all that the lush, tropical environment has to offer – the stunning coastline, the cobblestone alleys, gathering with friends to eat, ride motorcycles and party – he still yearns for a lover that may never return.
‘You Never Visit Me’ has amassed over three million combined global streams since its release last month. The jazz/hip-hop/R’n’B multi-instrumentalist prodigy recorded ‘You Never Visit Me’ with GRAMMY®-winning producer Wu10 (J. Cole, Ari Lennox) and Todd Pritchard (Trippie Redd, Tinashe) at Wu10’s Huntsville, AL studio, and with co-producer Louie Lastic (Kehlani, Ambré) in Los Angeles.
Masego, who has amassed nearly two billion combined global streams in his career to date, will kick off the You Never Visit Me Tour in March with a series of West Coast shows. The North American headline run will include two nights at New York City’s Terminal 5 (April 1 & 2) and a pair of shows at The Wiltern in Los Angeles (April 27 & 28).

Following the 2018 release of his debut album, ‘Lady Lady’ – which contained the breakout hit ‘Tadow,’ has been certified Platinum in the U.S., Diamond in Brazil and Gold in Mexico – Masego embarked on a multi-year headline tour that found him selling out shows and playing festivals on every continent but Antarctica. Studying Abroad: Extended Stay, the deluxe edition of his acclaimed EP, earned a GRAMMY® nomination for Best Progressive R&B Album. The collection included the RIAA Gold-certified hit ‘Mystery Lady Ft.’ Don Toliver.
With a mission to bring together talented musicians from all around the world, HARMONY DREAMERS is a unique musical endeavor led by Byron Lee Scott. With their latest album, featuring a roster of diverse musicians from different fields of expertise, the band raced to the top of the UK iTunes and airplay charts with two singles. ‘I Come From Earth’ currently sits at #2 on the UK Talk Radio airplay chart, while the “Nashville Jam mix” of the song reached #12 on the country sales chart. Now, Harmony Dreamers share an emotional new single, ‘Without You,’ which is an ode to people who will be celebrating the 2022 holiday season without a loved one. The emotional single aims to infuse listeners with hope, while also letting them know that someone out there is going through the same situation.
Scott says, “The more I listen to this song, ‘Without You,’ with the upcoming holidays, it just tears me up, the timing. Two people very close to me, my older brother and my adopted son, just broke up with long time live-in partners, just within weeks. When I worked on the cruise ships, it was not uncommon during the holidays for people to be grieving and trying to find peace.”
He further added, “There were certain healing songs I played for them that they still message me about years later, even though I only knew them for 15 minutes.”
