To coincide with the EP release, the band have also shared a special ‘london session‘ performance of title-track ‘no song without you‘, which was filmed at Tate Britain in September – watch it HERE.
Released in July, ‘no song without you‘ formed HONNE’s first material since the release of 2018 album, ‘Love Me / Love Me Not‘, and saw the band strip everything back to channel the psychedelic and infectious, care-free romanticism of the ‘60s. “It’s ok for things to sound a bit rough”, the duo explained, “rather than going into the studio and compressing guitars over and over. The more character that you leave in it, the more the listener can dive in.”
Picking out six standout tracks from the mixtape, including the title-track, ‘free love‘ and ‘by my side‘, the dream edits EP... less

Multi-talented band Why Don’t We have officially returned, announcing their highly anticipated self-penned/produced new single “Fallin’” – arriving Tuesday, September 29th via Atlantic Records.

The return of Why Don’t We also marks the beginning of the band’s partnership with HeadCount and Atlantic Records’ task force ATL Votes to encourage voter registration.

As one of the UK’s most exciting recent breakthrough artists, Beabadoobee has been on a stratospheric rise since the release of her first acoustic songs, crafted in her childhood bedroom. A raw, confessional album with real trauma at its heart, Fake It Flowers is by far Bea’s most mature body of work to date, tak- ing a sonic journey that documents the delicate sounds of her early EPs all the way through to huge jan- gling guitar anthems that nod to her 90’s grunge heroes.
To celebrate the album’s release, this evening Beabadoobee will be playing a full band live performance of the album on Youtube. The show will be broadcast at 8:30pm UK time, tune in at YouTube.com/be- abadoobee
“a thrilling debut from Gen-Z’s newest guitar hero” - 5*, NME
“The diary-entry nature of Bea’s songwriting... makes the fuzzy, bubblegum grunge of ‘Fake It Flowers’ a perfect brooding soundtrack” - 4*, DIY

It talks about the elements a person holds on to whether it be religion, family, or friends. Without the needed support, it is difficult to overcome. The song talks about a very dangerous state of mind and the struggles not to be a victim of it.The band wanted to go back to its roots to record a heavy guitar driven track. The song still stays true to the Moonshine sound with its odd-timed verses in an unconventional song structure. The verses are sung in a high angry pitch, as the melody of the choruses’ somber down to a harmonizing eerie feel. “We really pushed our vocalist, Gian Sison to sing the “hell out” of the verses”. Moonshine’s 8-piece entourage is definably heard with the layers of electric and acoustic guitars, heavy drum and bass line, percussions, harmonica and the twin back-up vocals blanketing the melodies throughout the track. The song was composed with one guitar and one vocal melody. “Everyone... less

The latter include Warner Music Indonesia's star-in-the-making Rahmania Astrini who's promoting her upcoming all-English EP and collaboration with our very own soul duo, Leanne and Naara.
Rahmania Astrini's first self-written English song "It's Amazing" opened the doors for the singer-songwriter to become one of Indonesia's promising new artists. Her debut single charted in six countries, and peaked at Apple Music's Top 30 during its first week, while her follow-up single "Tak Lagi Sama" garnered more than 600k YouTube views and 300k Spotify streams in less than a month.
Before closing the year, Rahmania decided to release her newest single "Runaway" and introduce herself outside of her home country. "Runaway" is produced by Björn "Mr. Fantastic" Djupström, whose achievements include creating hit songs for Nicki Minaj, Jessie Reyez,... less

FRIDAY 2 OCTOBER - Singapore producer-songwriter Eve Alai collaborates with Sri Lankan pop artist Senara again on his brand new single ‘For Life’. The second single of his upcoming debut EP, For Life features Eve Alai’s signature blend of deep house and nu disco influences with relatable lyrics carried by Senara’s undeniable voice.
For Life was inspired by the sets of deep house played at nightclubs in Eve Alai’s native Colombo. “The song is catered for the dancefloor. This is what nightlife sounds like in my head. I want my song to move people physically, from a head bop to a full on shuffle”, declares the underrated producer.

“Heaven & Hell represents light and dark, good and evil, and the devil and angel on your shoulder,” said Ava on the meaning behind the album. “I’m discussing the dualities of the challenges we face each day. Some songs have darkness; other songs are more positive. Heaven & Hell is the middle ground.”
Ava has also today revealed the video for her track “Naked,” which was directed by Hannah Lux Davis (Ariana Grande, Halsey, Doja Cat).

With its exquisite fusion of lo-fi, jazz, and hip-hop, Wovensound’s latest jam exudes a feel-good summer road trip vibe while leaning towards a classic, stylistic lineage in terms of production and overall sound.
According to the underrated producer, the song was recorded during the lockdown period in Singapore, with no access to the studio. He collaborates extensively and roped in 4 artists from Singapore on this track, including rappers Ihasamic!, SHAK, Andrew Marko, and singer Raina Sum. “I just love how this song takes different turns throughout its different sections, with each artist bringing their own flavour to the table and bouncing off each other,” Wovensound shares.
Lyrically, “Sickleberry Sunsets” doesn’t adhere to bland compromises. It’s a slickly produced hip-hop anthem that tackles two sides of a familiar persona. “In the song, there... less

Stripping everything down to essentials while exploring a more sonically adventurous approach to musicality, Estepa deflates any kind of conceit for a song that touches on hindsight and self-reflection. He strives to keep his narrative distinctly more intimate and closer to home without sounding contrived at all.
“Lyrically this song touches on how quickly life can change both for the good and the bad,” the folk rock artist explains. “But just as importantly is how we react to it. There's never gonna be a perfect response to life's curve balls but we just deal with it the best we can.”
Having been inspired by phrases and passages that he encountered or read on a daily basis, Bryan Estepa remembers being instantly drawn seeing the sign “Admit... less

Following up the lovelorn R&B hits “Running on My Mind” and “If I Fall in Love,” this instantly memorable new single proves Ali Gatie is on track for global pop domination. “Welcome Back” arrives as an optimistic sign of things returning to normalcy as we navigate through a global pandemic and highlights one of the singer/songwriter’s most charming qualities: He finds hope even in heartache. “I’ve been keeping doors unlocked just hoping you would walk back in,” he croons over a brightly reverbed guitar. Cara effortlessly slips right in with her soulful voice repeating his words before their vocals melt together: “Feels like you were never gone; I’m glad you’re back / If it doesn’t last, at least we had that time that we had.” Not only is it a song written to a lover,... less

In less than three years, Project Orange has slowly but surely gained traction outside of Bacolod City’s relatively small but thriving music community. Thanks to their maiden singles “Ctrl + Esc” and “Sputnik Sweetheart,” the promising quartet earned their chunk of streaming listenership on cities such as Taipei, Manila, and Hong Kong—a proof that their brand of music sees no boundaries, and resonates on a universal level.
Formed by vocalist/guitarist Diana “Moose” Mapa, guitarist Ann Marie Pillado, bassist Martin Garces, and drummer Miguel Gabriel San Miguel, Project Orange returns with a distinctly laid-back affair that chronicles the growing pains of young love and the unsteady circumstances that define it.
Their new single “Play Pretend” captivates listeners with their sophisticated blend of bedroom pop and indie rock. The four-piece outfit employs a lush and dream-like palette in terms of musical approach, fully embracing a deceptively simple arrangement that wouldn’t feel out... less

We hear about heartache and loneliness in different forms during different parts of the day, and it can either inspire you to move on or fall even harder. Now that we're nearing the end of 2020, Meryl decided to conclude their "two-year narrative" with their latest single, "Paghilom".
Meryl calls their music the soundtrack of their listener's own love story. According to the band, their songs serve as the score to "the common romantic's tale of love and tragedy". In addition to their past songs "Colors", "Vincent", and "Dagat", the new single "Paghilom" ties the narrative together. For their loyal audience, this song marks an appropriate ending.
Previously called "Untitled Song" by their fans, the band described "Paghilom" as a serenade of a romantic to his/her sweetheart. "It is about staying hopeful despite knowing that the relationship is about to end. It tells the story from the perspective... less

The eclectic pairing explores the glitchy but shimmering surface of pop music while maintaining a slightly experimental production for good measure.
Turning the spirit of collaboration into a messy kind of fun, “Miss Me” is a brash, unapologetic kiss-off that takes a swipe at someone’s past relationships. According to Rhodes, he wrote the PC-inspired jam for all his exes who are trying to come back into his life, now that things are looking up and exciting. “They were nowhere to be to be found during the tough times of extreme depression,” he adds.
After writing the first verse, the Aussie hyper-pop act realized that he needed another voice to air out his frustrations, lyrically and musically. “I found Ysa through an online zoom show and I was so impressed with her performance that I reached... less

Award-winning singer-songwriter and former General Luna frontwoman Nicole Asensio is back home with Warner Music Philippines. Nicole has devoted fans and a successful career, with General Luna hits under her belt, a solo album, songwriting awards, and unreleased tracks waiting to see the light of day. And this year feels like the perfect time for the "schizoprano"'s return to form with her new single, “Silong”.
“’Silong’ is a song I gave up on many times because it wouldn’t lend me an ending. It is also the only original song in my upcoming album that I did not predominantly write the lyrics for, instead I focused on the melody and being involved in instrumentation ideas with my bandmates. Nicole’s new material, initially written in English and had five rewrites, is a delicate topic as it took a while until it was finished. “One early summer afternoon, I was cleaning up my old hard drive and found 49 unfinished songs and poems. This happened to be on top of the list so I decided to give it... less

The latest single follows his previous collaborations with Singaporean electronic producer Xinister on ‘Break’ and with Malaysian lo-fi producer OnlyM on ‘Perfect.’
On the sparse, trap-influenced track, Blahza rhymes about hustling in life, minding your own business, and keeping your cool when the chips are down. Blahza shares the story behind ‘Bandz:’ “The hook is about not worrying about what another person has. And when you don’t have it yourself don’t hate - just go out and get it for yourself.”
According to the Umami Records hip-hop artist, the first verse was written to document his struggles and humble beginnings, trying to make a fortune out of hard work and perseverance. He lays down the second verse with details about his romantic preference, seamlessly changing subjects like a pro. Blahza says, “When... less

Gin Rum and Truth (GRT), is bringing hard rock intensity back on the map. GRT is spirited, headstrong, and willing to give their all on the stage to give any crowd a memorable show. Bound in brotherhood and strong ties of friendship, GRT never fails to awe audiences with their performances.
With “I Got The Flu”, the song that held the Top 5 slot on Jam 88.3’s year-end countdown a few years ago, GRT brings in their usual grunge-rock intensity in full-force. As the former frontwoman of the metal-electronica band, EVEN, Trish Reyes, lends her vocals to the track in a duet with GRT’s own, Yok Tano, “I Got The Flu” bridges their complementing styles in a single song. Filled with the intense and spirited riffs, the resonating guitar leads, and the vocal rasps GRT is known for, along with Trish’s equally spirited and soulful vocals, the song is packed with... less

Heading the OPM Archive Foundation are the “next gen” members of the group, Moy Ortiz, President; Krina Cayabyab, Vice President; Dinah Remolacio, Treasurer and Chevy Salvador, Secretary, while the more senior members will stay on as board members and advisers.

Beyond the suggestive title, “my type” alludes to navigating the feelings that come with loving someone. Messages of acceptance and understanding are accompanied by a wistful chorus set against a tropical beat that is sure to leave you bopping.
Steeped in radiant electronic beats and soulful production, brb.’s latest jam brims with experiments gone right. But make no mistake: it’s a song that grapples with optimism—the kind that surges with both finesse and adrenaline, but delivered with the occasional oddity that we’ve come to experience from the alt-R&B group’s previous material.

A music genre is a conventional category that identifies some pieces of music as belonging to a shared tradition or set of conventions. It is to be distinguished from musical form and musical style, although in practice these terms are sometimes used interchangeably.
The sound of thrash metal was shaped by a group of guitar players who would quite literally build a genre from the ground up. Four bands led the way, each with a duo of guitarists who have since gone on to legendary standing. While these eight musicians claim influences as diverse as Venom, KISS, and the Beatles, what they created was perhaps the most significant revolution in the history of heavy
