Thyra Hilden explores love & loneliness with debut album ‘LOVE DRUGS’

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…

Song of the Day: On With The Show – 5omerset

5OMERSET‘s latest single, ‘On With The Show,’ is an acoustic pop song inspired by the Shakespeare quote: “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women merely players.” 

Written with Juno nominated songwriter and producer Dajaun Martineau in L.A., 5omerset perfectly conveys the pressure of everyday life as he trembles:

“Curtails close, shed my clothes, drop the act, let out a cry and clear my throat. Take my time, I’ll be fine the world could be mine but I’m about to lose my mind”

5omerset played all the instruments live Gold Standard Records in Toronto, to create a bitter-sweet sample, with the help from legendary musician and engineer Paul Phelan who played the beautiful pedal steel.

So here’s your chance to listen to ‘On With The Show’ and remember – “when the acting gets harder, shut up get on with the show” (5omerset’s favourite line from the song).

Saneit brings real R&B back with latest EP ‘Automatic’

R &B sensation SANEIT‘s (pronounced Suh-Neat) along-waited EP, ‘Automatic’, is a culmination of clever nostalgic samples from the late seventies right through to the mid-noughties, so expect to hear the familiar sounds of soul/R&B heavyweights, Rose Royce, Michel’le, Mary J Blige, Faith Evans and Bobby V – with the sultry Chicago twang she’s known for.

Throughout the years, Saneit has shown herself to be focused, driven and passionate about honing her gift and this project is the sum of that work. Her voice brings back the style of R&B many people wish was more prevalent in music today, while also providing a contemporary and unique twist to the genre.

Saneit’s confidence and love for her work is a testament to her growth and the control she takes over her creative process. Although, she writes her own music, this project is collaborative; she teams up with songwriters Jean Michael, Trayne Write Hits and Grammy nominated vocal producer, David Je.

So if you’re missing that real R&B, well this mini collection is for you. Have a listen below…
