5OMERSET’s latest single, ‘Sonnet #18’ , on the surface, is about summer ending too soon, but underneath that it’s a song about living every moment to its fullest potential because you never know when the moment may end.
‘Sonnet #18’ is a catchy little Folk/Pop tune all based around an Ovation acoustic guitar with atmospheric slide guitars and a pulsing rhythm section that keeps the head bouncing along.
5omerset wrote, recorded and mixed Sonnet #18 in his little home studio and then sent it to Juno nominated engineer Dajaun Martineau in L.A for the finishing vibrant touches to brighten up those cold months ahead.
Rising dreamtronica duo BELAU is back with a new single called ‘Faraway’ featuring Vietnamese alt r’n’b artist, Hien.
The dynamic pair shed some light on their new single: “It’s a milestone in a person’s life when you are able to separate what really serves you from what you want. it is an operation that reflects such human greatness that paradoxically leads to the convergence of the two. through pure letting go, something will be at our service if we do not want it to be ours. ‘Faraway’ is a correlation of two people who live in each other’s hearts, but one or the other lives cyclically under anxiety – once and then again. it is not clear why the contradiction cannot be resolved despite their will; their relationship is eternal, bound forms. they always affect each other, distance has no influence. the idea comes to fruition in the next songs of the upcoming full-length”
Belau are currently finalising their third LP called ‘Apriori’, coming out on 27th of October. Hungary’s No.1 musical export good, Belau will continue their European tour in 2023 included some clubs shows and summer festivals in France, Belgium, Denmark, Poland, Czech Republic, Serbia, Slovenia, Slovakia, and Romania.
