Scot Stoddard is an independent artist from Syracuse, NY, who relocated to Kentucky. Scot is a veteran guitarist and drummer on the local Syracuse music scene. Scot Stoddard recorded his first full-length album in 2012, a total solo effort, titled "Stories" which was his first release on Spotify and featured a song which reached success titled "Desire". Scot's album "Stories" contains music ranging from metal, to jazz influence, to rock ballads. Scot began to hone in on his craft and self-proclaimed his artistry as “Art rock”. A unique and new style of rock music which makes the release of his single “Transcend” feel more refreshing and idiosyncratic. The record "Transcend” felt more like an instrumental more than your average single due to the limitation of lyrics and vocals. You can tell the main focus point of the song was to showcase Scots ability to convey a story through an instrumentalist point of a view. It was interesting and made the song more valuable for me. One of the cool aspects of “Transcend” would have to be the artistic vision Scot had for the record. He was able to really electrify us with the classic and retro feel in a chaotic mix up and mash up of different background instruments. His vocal resonance was intriguing and different from your average singer. He had a nice tone and contagious melody, exceeding our expectations. Overall, "Transcend" has this FX rock type of vibe I’m sure people will love! Listen to Scot Stoddard's new song "Transcend". We had the pleasure of interviewing Scot about his music and what we can expect in 2019. Hi Scot, care to introduce yourself to our readers? Sure, I'd enjoy introducing myself to the readers!  I'm Scot Stoddard, an independent artist, formerly from Syracuse, NY, but I've recently moved to the Lexington, KY area.  My main instrument these days is guitar, although my first instrument was drums, which I started playing at age 10, and I also play bass guitar, keyboards, synthesizers, MIDI instruments, and sing.  I was a veteran on the Syracuse music scene, playing in many bands over the years as either a drummer or guitarist, and often as guitarist I doubled on keyboards.  I've played many styles of music in these bands, both cover bands and bands that wrote and recorded original music, ranging from blues to classic rock to grunge to metal to prog rock to pop and/or Top 40.  I've always had in interest in recording, and around about 2012 I was getting a little tired of the Syracuse gigging scene and made the choice to put more efforts into writing and recording my own music; thus, becoming a solo indie artist.  I wrote and recorded my first album, "Stories", around that time, and I played all the instruments myself:  Guitars, bass guitar, drums, synthesizers, and sang the vocals.  Stories was finished by 2015, but not released until January 2017, shortly followed by my second album, "Transcend", again, a solo album, in July 2017, which I had been working on since "Stories" was completed.  In September 2017 I released a single in collaboration with my friend Catherine Corelli called "Cassini Drive", which was a house/trance/techno song, but also featured Catherine on saxophone and myself on lead guitar; something a bit different, a kind of genre mashup that turned out to be very interesting!  In 2018 I formed a project called Conspiracy Theories Project with some friends from Long Island, NY, which again was an online collaboration project, and we released a couple classic rock cover songs.  So that's a quick summation of my history as a musical artist. How was it growing up in Syracuse, New York? I actually didn't grow up in Syracuse, NY, but about a hundred miles east of there in a small town.  There wasn't much to do there, so I spent a lot of time learning how to play drums, and played in all the junior high and high school music organizations:  Band, orchestra, jazz ensemble.  I was heavy into music then, and still am!  I moved to Syracuse when I was 17 to attend the music program at a local community college and earned an associate's degree in music performance, majoring in percussion, but this is also where I learned music theory and had two years of piano instruction.  This is also where I started learning guitar, as I had a couple good friends that were guitar majors and they helped me get started. When did you first knew that music was the lane for you? Well, as I've said here, I've always been into music.  My dad was a music teacher, and my mother was also very talented on piano and singing, so I was always around music from an early age on.  When I really decided that I liked the musician life, however, was at age 14 when I started gigging with my dad, playing commercial music for private parties, weddings, bars...all over the place.  So I caught the gig bug early on, and just really enjoyed playing music for people and entertaining.  Then after music college, I starting joining bands in Syracuse, one of which went into a local recording studio and cut a few tracks; so that's where the recording end became a passion. How challenging it is to learn an instrument rather than vocals? Well, vocals IS an instrument, and it's one of the most difficult, really, so this is a difficult question to answer.  I'm not a trained vocalist, I've never taken voice lessons or concentrated a lot on singing, it's just something I always did and, in retrospect, I wish I had taken lessons, because it's a tough thing to get a grip on to get the most out of your own voice.  So I guess for those blessed with an awesome natural singing voice, there's less of a challenge there, but that's not me!  The thing with me, in learning any instrument, is that I challenge myself to get better.  I started playing drums at 10, was gigging at 14, and had already gone beyond what my school instructors could teach me, so I started playing prog rock like Rush, for example.  To push my skills, I enjoyed the challenges of prog rock in the varying tempos and time signatures utilized therein.  Same thing with guitar; if I got comfortable playing a certain style, I then went for something more difficult.  Bass guitar was an offshoot of playing guitar, and I didn't really get into that until I started recording my solo albums and, well, I needed bass tracks; so I studied my favorite bass players and tried to learn their techniques and licks.  Keyboards I was trained on heavily in college.  But I also played trumpet in the marching band and pep band in high school,  because there was a lack of trumpet players and we had a lot of drummers!  So I mean, sometimes the challenge comes out of necessity, sometimes it comes from your own inner drive to be better.  To me, that's where the challenges lie in any instrument; how far can you push it?  And it's the same with vocals, I've just not gotten that far into singing and honestly prefer instrumental work. In your artist perspective, how would you interpret “Transcend” for our readers? Ahh, Transcend, yes.  Well, Transcend IS the title track from my album of, obviously, to be redundant, the same name.  Transcend the album is actually somewhat of a concept album, with the actual dictionary definition of the word transcend being the theme.  So let's look at that definition, which is 1:  Be or go beyond the limits of (something abstract, typically a conceptual field or division); or 2:  Surpass (a person or achievement).  Now Transcend, the song, narrows that concept down to a simple principle:  Being better.  And again, going beyond the limits, and surpassing achievements.  It's about trying to find ways to BE better:  A better person, a better man, a better artist.  It's about taking the good things in your life and building upon those.  It's about self-reflection, searching your soul for the good and ignoring the bad.  It's about analyzing your past, correcting your mistakes and living in the present to its fullest.  And even in a more personal sense, I'd had some tough times at and around the time of recording my "Stories" album, and I wanted to get the hell over it, I wanted to be a better person, and truthfully, I wanted to make a better album.  So it's really about self-improvement, as well as improvement of the human race; it's meant to show that we can all do this, be the best we can possibly be, with a bit of thought, education, desire, motivation and introspection. What major plans do you have for 2019? My main goal for 2019 is to finish and release my third solo album, currently already in the works, with the first song, entitled "A Day To Remember", already up on my website as an example of things to come.  This yet-untitled album will be comprised entirely of instrumental music, as I'm looking into the area of marketing this for licensing for TV/movies/commercials, etc.  Ancillary goals are to improve my mixing and production skills on this album, as well as further develop my skills in video editing, social media and marketing.  So basically, I'm going to be working, learning, and again, trying to improve in all areas.  I'm also recording again with Catherine Corelli, and we're on the second track of her album called "Heaven Syndrome", with the title track already completed; and it's amazing.  And I'll again be recording with the Conspiracy Theories Project.  So I've got my work cut out for me, and I'm on it!

Ethan Lumus, an independent American pop artist based in Austin, TX, who began playing the piano and singing in his childhood church at the early age of four. As a kid, secular music was not played in his home but at the age of twelve, Ethan was first exposed to pop, electronic and country music. These genres in addition to the gospel music of his upbringing, impacted Ethan in a massive way and inspired him to begin writing and composing his own songs! By fusing these influences with his own artistic sensibilities, Ethan has crafted a unique brand of dark pop that is both captivating and energetic. Ethan Lumus instantly captures us with the lyricism of his latest release “Rich & Famous”. The profound genuineness behind the lyrics while keeping the motivational realistic approach with a hint of dreamy detail, Ethan has a relatable hit record that we can’t help but to love! “At the end of the day, we all want to be rich and famous, baby who can blame us” Ethan sings, “We all want to be pretty like the models, and say we met Madonna, and if not at least we know how to dream”. Ethan is basically telling us it’s absolutely okay to dream big, as long as we keep our faith and hard work ethic there’s nothing that can stop us, nor is there anything standing in our way! I think it’s great Ethan created a song like this because just like myself, many people have large dreams in life and it’s always great to hear a song that can give us a little reminder on why it’s okay to aim high! Ethan will no doubt in my mind connect with many people and “Rich & Famous” could be a hit for all! Listen to Ethan Lumus's new single "Rich & Famous". Check out our exclusive interview with Ethan, we chat about his music background and about his new album releasing this year. Hi Ethan, care telling our readers about yourself? Thank you so much for taking the time to talk with me! my name is Ethan Lumus and i’m a singer, songwriter and producer from Austin, Texas. I’ve got 7 brothers and sisters, I majored in English in college and I've been writing my own songs for 10 years now. Is there any specific reason why secular music wasn’t played in your household at a young age? Secular music wasn’t played because I was raised in a very strict denomination of Christianity. So, no TV shows, no secular music and no Harry Potter. It was definitely a little isolating to have all my peers consuming these things and talking about them all the time and I just had no clue what was going on from a pop culture standpoint until 2007/2008. Do you remember your first impression of pop music when you were 12 years old? If so can you describe it for us! Taylor Swift was the very first non-christian artist I ever heard. My family was driving back from vacation and my Dad was listening to a country radio station while we were all sleeping. I woke up and heard Tim Mcgraw and was like, wait - people can sing about something besides Jesus?! it was a life changing experience for me. How important is it for an artist to connect with their listeners in your opinion? I think it’s so important for artists to connect with their listeners in a literal way online but I think it’s even more important that an artist knows what their listeners want over time in an emotional and human way. “Rich & Famous” is a fun yet motivational song. What inspired you to write it? Thank you so much for saying that! I had a blast writing it. I was really feeling low one day back in the summertime and I felt like I was never gonna break out into music the way I want and that I was going be working two jobs trying to pursue my dream forever. I wanted to turn that stress on it’s head and be kind of sardonic about this whole generation of 90s kids who grew up on Britney and the Spice Girls and reality TV and who just want to be rich and famous. It was super therapeutic to write and produce and even more fun to record. I’m also so grateful that this song was mixed by Geoff Swan who is just a total mixing pro and has learned from the best in his field. He really created a space for the production to thrive and i’m so glad we were able to work together. What can we expect out of your album you’re planning on debuting in June 2019? The album is all about exclamations. Each song is a big statement that I wish I would have made to myself or someone else or a realization that i maybe stumbled upon too late. It’s a really reflective album in terms of the songwriting. Production wise, it’s so fun. I made ten songs that I love listening to over and over again. There are songs that belong in a club, songs that sound like you’re crying on the deepest part of the ocean floor, songs that sound like you’re in a virtual world, songs that are inspired by music from the 80s and 90s. It’s all really cohesive though in spite of these varying influences and i’m really proud of the work we’ve done so far.

Toga Doin’ Work is from Prince George’s County, MD, got his stage name inspired by a documentary on his favorite player Kobe Bryant did with Spike Lee called Kobe Doin’ Work. He’s an indie artist who likes to explore different types of vibes and sounds when it comes to his music. Toga Doin' Work released his first project last year titled “I’m Goin Up”. Toga Doin’ Work released his new single “Hit My Phone”, a slow-jam with a whole lot of urban vibes to manufacture a hit we can add to all our playlists where the energy is right and the mood is perfect. The perfectly tuned vocals are what’s in today. It makes “Hit My Phone” more appealing and thoroughly enjoying for the listeners. The lyrics in "Hit My Phone" are fun and fitting for today’s generation, for those who love a good vibe song to zone out in and repeat the lyrics on their social media’s and sing along with. I can see this becoming a hit for significant amount of people who simply loves smooth-sailing and intricate music that’s equipped with lots of detail and characteristics. “I’ll be right there when you hit my phone” was the highlighted lyric in the hook for me. What I interpreted from this single is that “Hit My Phone” is simply your typical “thinking about your crush” bop. However, we need songs such as this one to get us through any slight hint of dwellsome feelings when thinking about somebody special. Toga Doin’ Work does absolutely that and more with “Hit My Phone”. Listen to Toga Doin' Work's new song "Hit My Phone" and be sure to connect with him on social media for the latest new releases! Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? I go by the name of Toga Doin' Work, I am indie artist from the DMV are, specifically P.G. County, MD. Been putting out music since 2017 and I released my first project called I'm Goin Up which was like an experiment to see which type of songs people like from and kind of see what direction I wanted to go musically. I guess you can say I was finding myself and what my audience would like to hear from me. What was your favorite song off your first project “Im Goin Up” ? My favorite song is actually the song that I have just released called "Good Morning". Which is out now on all streaming platforms. The reason why that is my favorite song is because of the fact that it is one of those songs that represents being thankful for the opportunity to see another day, the opportunity to further yourself in life, or what ever you may pull from the vibe of the song. With New Year's here, many people are grateful for another year to make their lives what they want it to be whether it is going to the gym, eating better, treating people better, or helping others. The mentality over all I want people to pull from the song is just be go getter and know that time waits for no one so the time that we have, we must take advantage of it. Who did “Hit My Phone” feature? Hit My Phone was my last release before Good Morning, and the song featured Kora the Artist @koratheartist who is also a DMV artist. She was great to have on the track and she totally killed the track which I was confident that she would. Look forward to doing more work with her in the future. How would you interpret Hit My Phone for your listeners from an artist perspective? Hit My Phone from my listeners perspective should be interpreted as a vibe of whoever in your life who means something to you at the time, this song should make you think about them. With it being winter time right now, people always want to be around loved ones and family and especially that special person in their life so that it the feeling I hope they receive when hearing it. From an artist perspective, Kora and I just wanted to speak from a male and female perspective of how men and women interact with their feelings. We both pretty much shared the same sentiments of I could be with any man/woman but I want to be with you also we just tried to cover that dynamic. What’s next for you in 2019? For 2019, I am very excited to just keep releasing music month after month, accompanying them with visuals and most of all, getting out and performing a lot. I got my first taste of performing in 2018 and now I'm looking forward to being able to move around even outside of my area and really build my fanbase up.

All Follows Eve are on the road of launching a pop revolution. The producer/musician duo is sneaking timeless song craft, emotional depth and organic musicianship into the mainstream music world through adventurous production choices. Now, with a brace of lushly orchestrated, imaginatively arranged and infectiously catchy singles, All Follows Eve is posed to break into the Top 40 with a new strain of pop music! Their single “People, Listen” breaks down the barriers between closed off emotions and connecting with others. What’s truly interesting about this song would have to be the use of lyricism. I took from “People, Listen” that All Follows Eve was attempting to understand their listeners and the negative emotions people feel. Basically, telling us to stop overthinking and dwelling on the depressive moments and thoughts we have and rather uplift ourselves and channel in more positive into our lives. “All Follows Eve” demonstrated a motivational and empowering single with ingenious pop elements and a fun danceable tune. You can receive an open-minded perspective and encouraging words while also enjoying your typical charismatic groove we all like to dance too. Listen to "People, Listen" and connect with All Follows Eve on their social media linked below! Hey there, care to introduce yourselves to our readers? Hey there! We are Angie & Noel! The female duo that makes up All Follows Eve. How did All Follows Eve form? We came together in 2017 at the Musician’s Institute in Hollywood, CA. On paper we seem like an unlikely pair. Musically, our backgrounds could not be more different. But our common love of modern pop & electronic music and our desire to innovate/create is what brought us together as a writing/ production duo. What’s the overall vision you guys want to pursue with your music? We strive to create strong melodic leads that our surrounded by heavy electronic production, while still incorporating organic and more ‘traditional’ instruments. We also always try to exude a mystical and theatrical pop presence. “People, Listen” seems to have a strong message behind it. Mind touching base on it for our readers? “That song is a conversation between the listener and us. It’s about dealing with heartbreak and relationships. So many people in these situations look for reasons to blame themselves. In the end, I'm asking these martyrs to stop being afraid of love, and, instead of torturing themselves, experience how pure, real, and healthy love feels.” What’s your opinion on the current status of pop music? We love it! What a great time to be alive right now! With artists charting such as Charlie Puth & Bruno Mars who bring a lot of old school R&B influence in their music, it’s such an amazing thing to see new artists being creative while using influences of the greats who came before us. What is All Follows Eve looking to accomplish in the new year? we are set to release a series of singles for 2019, accompanied by some very special featured artists. We will also be booking some live shows to play around the LA area to promote our new music.

Raw, real and apologetically reckless are some adjectives to describe this fiery dynamic rising star, Kerrigan Barry who was born with a fire in her heart, stoked by rock n roll in her bones. The Cleveland, Ohio native found catharsis and truth in writing lyrics and melodies after watching Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band Live In New York City on DVD as a 5-year old kid. Quite possibly the only 4th grader in her generation to have The Rolling Stones’ Tattoo You on their iPod shuffle. Kerrigan began her lifelong love affair with music, and it has since then proved to be the most beautifully intoxicating relationship she ever imagined experiencing. Sanctified by rock, punk, folk, hip-hop and R&B, Kerrigan fused her diverse respect for the written word and passion for seamless pop production to create a sound that she lives and breathes for everyday. More than anything else in this life, Kerrigan Barry yearns to make music that saves the struggling from sorrow and ignites freedom in restless souls and she proves that with her single “We Don’t Talk Anymore”. “We Don’t Talk Anymore” immediately begins with a passionate introduction with a production of high end pop sounds setting the tone for the song. The instance you hear Kerrigan’s voice you’re captivated by her feisty swagger she has, projected by her stylistic voice. Her vocal resonance is equipped with much range however she keeps her register in a sassy head voice delivered with much power. Kerrigan presents us her subtle and vulnerable emotion in the hook where she propels the overall message of the song of heartbreak and losing a bond between you and another person deemed meaningful to your life. It’s a song most of us can relate too and we can add to all our playlists. I label “We Don’t Talk Anymore” as one of those singles where they vent for us. Sometimes we need songs like this single, to speak for our emotions and connect with us while also creating a tune where we can enjoy seamlessly. Listen to Kerrigan Barry's new song "We Don't Talk Anymore" and be sure to connect with Kerrigan on social media! Hi Kerrigan, care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hey guys, I'm Kerrigan—like Nancy Kerrigan, without the crowbar. My friends call me KB, never Kerry... everyone always ask me about that. I'm a songwriter turned artist, based in Nashville, TN, but I was born and raised in the birthplace of rock n' roll, Cleveland, OH. I studied songwriting and music business in college, and I wear my music like a second skin. How was the music scene in the area of Ohio growing up? Well, I'm a closet history nerd, so I can tell you that Alan Freed coined the term "rock n' roll" in 1951. The Rock Hall is sacred ground. One of my greatest influences of all time is Bruce Springsteen, and Cleveland was a city that supported him before he was "The Boss". The weather might be shitty, but there's a spirit alive in that city; it's a home for the underdogs who defy all expectations. Cleveland is a city of champions, rockstars and heroes who fought like hell to earn their stripes, and I think that's pretty powerful. Do you think your environment affected your music style? I actually grew up outside of Cleveland in a super small suburb called Bay Village, and the lack of 'music scene' with in my hometown probably shaped me more than anything else because it weirdly made the dream seem more attainable; it's such a small town, and I kind of became known for music pretty early on, so when I moved to Nashville after high school, I felt like I had a perception I had to live up to... It was like I owed something to the people that saw my future career in music before I knew how to conceptualize it, beyond saying "I'm gonna be a fuckin' rock star". How meaningful was “We Don’t Talk Anymore” for you? "We Don't Talk Anymore" is the beginning of a journey that I've been planning since I first picked up a guitar and wrote my first song. As cliche as that sounds, it's the truth; this was the first song I released on my own. I've had cuts by other artists before, but this was my way of announcing I'm a writer AND an artist. Did you face any challenges in creation of this single? Absolutely, I fought with myself throughout the entire release process. I shit you not, 72 hours before the single dropped, I texted my management and a few of my close friends telling them I wasn't going to put it out anymore, I was scared shitless! For a long time, I was really insecure about my singing voice, probably because I've been surrounded by some of the most phenomenal vocalists in the country for the past 5 years, but I've started to learn to love it. Thankfully, I got over myself and dropped "WDTA". How would you interpret “We Don’t Talk Anymore” for your listeners? Obviously, it's a break-up song, but it was a new kind of writing for me because it wasn't about one specific person or situation. In the verses, I throw out a few examples of some bullshit arguments I've had with former flames, but it goes a little deeper than that because if you read between the lines, I'm not necessarily criticizing the guy in question—I'm actually taking shots at myself and my own shortcomings. From start to finish, I'm assuming that he (whoever he is in whatever given scenario) dislikes the same things about me that I dislike in myself, and eventually, that becomes our reality because I don't give him any other option. After a certain level of heartache, we stop giving people the benefit of the doubt and start looking for reasons to run. Looking back on all these relationships with all of their unique, convoluted layers, I realized that they all have the same end game. Each relationship that inspired this single took a lot out of me, and it became easier to just say "we don't talk anymore" when anyone asked why it ended. It's complex because every story is different, but it's simple because it's a kind of pain everyone can understand. What do you hope to accomplish in 2019? In 2019, I'm planning on finishing my EP. It's officially been titled 'RECKLESS', and I can't wait to share it with you all.

When did you get into pursuing music? How long have you’ve been pursuing it for? I’ve always had a passion for music for as long as I can remember. I first began writing poetry around the age of 10 and shortly after that began developing my poems into song lyrics. I got into the booth at 15 and haven’t left it since.

Rachel Ana Dobken has a knack for blending Indie-rock with soul and jazz. She represents her unique artistry in her single “Learning How To Let Go”. The soulful single with a bluesy feel while sticking to the classic elements of indie-rock music. Gorgeous guitar strings, augmented chord progressions and electrifying subdued sounds. “Learning how to let go, trying to find the words to say goodbye, thinking you should know though, that happiness is just a state of mind” Rachel sings, the contextual lyricism evokes an honest message. In that specific stanza, Rachel drives the song meaning forward, front row for us to view and feel a snippet of the song before the actual song. However, what I also interpreted from this song is that it could even become more sinister in meaning as in the artist could possibly be battling depressing thoughts and unconsciously saddening emotions. If that was the case, “Learning How To Let Go” could play as a letter to oneself. Regardless of the lyrical meaning behind the song, Rachel still undoubtedly delivered us a hit. Listen to Rachel Ana Dobken new album "When It Happens To You". Check out our interview with Rachel where we talk about her new single "Learning How To Let Go". Hi Rachel! Care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hey guys! Well thank you for having me! I’m Rachel Ana Dobken and I’m a multi-instrumentalist who just released a record “When It Happens To You.” On it, I played some drums, guitar, piano, and sang and I also produced it! In other words, a maniac hah! Mind telling us where you’re from and where you’re currently located? How’s the music scene there? I’m from Asbury Park, NJ and the scene here is incredible. There are big things happening for a number of reasons. Location-wise we are about 1.5 hours from both New York City/Brooklyn and Philly. We are geographically sort of located between the two on the Jersey Coast. The scene is exploding with indie-rock talent and a lot of support and love. It is a place where not only do the audience members appreciate good music, but there are so many musicians and so much talent, and we are all very supportive and loving of one another. It’s truly a unique. Do you have any specific musical influences from specific genres (soul, blues, rock, pop) if so who? So, I’m a massive music nerd and I listen to everything. I describe my sound as “Indie-Soul” and tell people it’s like “Lake Street Dive or Amy Winehouse meets My Morning Jacket.” I pull from influences all over: Rock, Jazz, Indie-Rock, Soul, Alt… Some of my favorite bands: The Band, Incubus, Paul Simon, My Morning Jacket, John Mayer, Jeff Buckley, Fiona Apple, Patsy Cline. I also love and studied Jazz— Monk, Bill Evans and Wes Montgomery )… then there’s all the blues and soul (Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Marvin Gaye). I also love and listen to a lot of Indie-Rock (Caveman, White Denim, Grizzly Bear, Sam Cohen) and all the amazing bands coming out of Asbury Park (The Front Bottoms, Deal Casino, Lowlight, The Burns, Avery Mandeville, Tara Dente, Cranston Dean… there’s sooo many! What do you think most of your music means? For me, it’s a conversation. It’s a means to talk to someone, or about something that you are trying to say but can’t necessarily find the means or appropriate context to do it otherwise. A lot of times I’m not even in control of what comes out of me, it just happens when it needs to be said. I feel that my job as an artist, and what I have been given in this lifetime, is that I possess the ability to express my emotions in a way that people can digest and relate to (both musically and lyrically), and hopefully feel better and less alone in the world. It is all about a desire to CONNECT and RELATE. Love the new single! Can you tell us about the creation process of  “Learning How To Let Go” ? The first part that came to me was the chorus- the melody and specific open guitar lines. You hear it in the first chorus as just guitar and vocals (“Every night I’m losing sleep…”) then the band comes in and plays it together. Then came the intro/verse and I built the rest of the song around that. My engineer said this song was like a dream. It takes on a unique moody journey. As my process typically goes, I hear parts and lyrics in pieces. Sometimes I hear lyrics immediately in conjunction with a melody, and other times I hear it after the entire framework of the song is done. Almost immediately I hear the groove and how the song will “feel”. “Learning” has my favorite groove of all songs on the record, although it took me the longest to figure out. I sat with the drums for a while not knowing what the song needed and then realizing what it did. Dan Haase (bass) worked his magic to make that bassline groove and sway so perfectly around it. I can’t hear the song without that now. I also love so much what Mark Masefield did on B3. What's your favorite lyric from the song? Why? I think it’s “Every night I’m losing sleep / Can’t figure out whats, botherin’ me.” It’s something I live frequently. For me it’s simple but loaded with the content of the entire song— about being in your mid-to-late 20’s in a state of limbo trying to navigate a future that is unstable and unsteady... just feeling all of these emotions (good and bad) and grappling with how to ACCEPT whatever it is! Existence is vibrating in a way that has you a bit wrapped up, but not necessarily in a bad way. The song touches on the unknown nature of what the future holds, which can be daunting, but is also extremely exciting and wonderful. But in realizing that, it’s the beauty of “Letting Go,” where you can truly live. The song is kind of a note to myself to let me know, whatever is going to happen it’s okay and that ultimately, we have no control. Life is beautiful, short and the same for ALL of us (the inevitability of life and death). I hope that wasn’t too heavy!!! Who are your musical influences that have helped shape your career in music? So like I said above, I’m a huge music nerd and so there’s a lot! For me all of art, especially music comes back down to what is REAL and staying TRUE to the music. A lot of times this is not what is mainstream. There are a couple: I love the unique-ness and sheer musicality of The Band. They are a perfect example of a group with natural talent, chemistry and not giving a shit what other people thought about them. Next up, Paul Simon. He’s a genius story-teller and his arrangements are always flawless. The way he so simply but INTENTIONALLY chooses those things. Brilliant lyrics like: “I should have believed you when I heard you saying it / The only time when love is an easy game / is when two of the people are playing it.” I love the guitar-tones and unique songwriting structures and musical chemistry of Incubus, one of the best live bands I’ve ever seen. I love the conversational nature, both musically and lyrically of John Mayer, and I feel of all of my influences him and I most closely speak the same conversational lyrical language. Continuum is one of my faves. And above everything else, the music has to have groove, gotta have feel! Ok, there’s more but I’ll leave it there for now. What can we expect from you 2019 Rachel?? Well! I have another single that will be coming out, probably in the spring. I’m also planning to shoot some music videos and hopefully get a mini-tour going! Some one off dates on the East Coast, and some shows in Asbury coming up. I hope to make it out to the West Coast soon as well!

Born in the North East council estates of Paris where hip-hop and funk were strongly apparent, Julie Bernouis aka Turismo Girlfriend World Tour, grew up on a diet of zouk and pop. Obsessed early on with the 80's LES-era Madonna and pop music, she rekindled her passion for Caribbean rhythms and catchy pop tunes during her travels to Jamaica and american living life. With echoes of Madonna and Rihanna and with a twist of Charlotte Gainsbourg. The EP is straight out of a dream where Robyn might have been raised in Kingston, Jamaica. It races through four epic melodies with haunting, eerie harmonies, embracing bleak subject matter. The songs linger on the dance-floor like dark shadows of a cloud, a little twisted for sure but also upbeat and seriously fun. It brings those real life moments to the party. Rather than being dramatic about the ups and downs, it encourages you to forget about your troubles and dance. Turismo Girlfriend released their single titled “So Fucking Cold”, the dark and nostalgic hit with augmented and stretched out harmonies and an oddly supernatural aura that makes it a little bit more magnetic and captivating. A unique trait I’ve noticed in this song is that whenever Turismo Girlfriend World Tour sings she has backup vocals in a falsetto range alongside a third added on vocal in a sort of distortion sound, making it way more chilling and hauntingly cultivating. If you could paint a picture with this song the way I have, I’ve pictured “Numbness”. Lost in the moment , absorbed by the content in the music, relaxed in the vibration of the song. All are emotions I’ve felt while listening to "So Fucking Cold". At the end of the song, she repeats the hook without any background instrumental or studio recordings, it is haunting and raw leaving you completely captivated. Listen to Turismo Girlfriend World Tour's new song "So Fucking Cold" and be sure to check out our exclusive interview below! Hi Julie! Care to introduce yourself to our readers! Hi BuzzMusic readers! My name is Julie aka Turismo Girlfriend World Tour. I'm French but live in New York. Can you tell us a bit about your musical career? I got into music very young and went to music school for a while. I used to love writing poetry age 7 and singing and started singing in a choir and doing ballet. I was told at age 11 I was no good at dancing and stopped music school altogether because of that, but the passion for dancing and singing stayed. You couldn't stop me from humming during dinner or organizing choregraphies at school when we had birthday parties going on. Then I was briefly in an indie rock band when I turned 18 with my friends. I had been writing lyrics for a little while now. I guess the poetry helped. I actually turned to working in the music industry. I met a lot of inspiring people along the way which led me to New York and drove me to reconnect with my original love. I started writing songs in the studio next door to the record label office I was working for. They were indie rock demos in the style of Courtney Love (I was always a fan as a teen, must have been the angst) but I didn't release them and then I kept writing and it became apparent that was really what I wanted to do. I jumped in and created songs that fitted my new life and personality more. I was managing a band at the time and one of the guys was building his own studio in Greenpoint and was a producer. I made two songs with him. And then I put fillers in totally randomly and found my second producer that way, all the way in LA where we had a try out on the track Fussy. He’d already made the instrumental and I improvised on it and we both liked it. Turismo Girlfriend World Tour is a unique name! How did you choose this name? It is right?! Some say it's a bit long but I don't listen to them… Well, I had a long winded story about it but I guess it’s a little personal but I guess it’s about holiday flings and being a tourist girlfriend and having a man in every port. Have I said too much?! It all started in Cuba when on travels with a bunch of girlfriends. It started as a joke like everything else but it sounded good so I kept it. Out of all the locations you’ve traveled too, do you have a personal favorite? If so which and why? I love traveling and like a lot of places. The Caribbean islands are one of my favorite area but also South America. I just love the culture and the people there. They are more open minded, kind and simple. They seem to appreciate life more than people anywhere else and seem to be more grateful and content although sometimes life is more precarious. The streets are always full of sounds and joy. The nature is beautiful too. It's green and vast and luxuriant and the beaches are incredible. The colors are vibrant. And obviously I love the music. Rhythmically It's all pretty African based: soca, zouk, reggaeton, dancehall etc… I love it all, it puts me in a good mood. So those places are pleasing for my ears, my eyes, my taste buds. You have a unique style, we love it a lot. Do you have any inspirations? Thank you! I do have very eclectic inspirations and references. I love RnB and hip hop but my main references would have been Fka Twigs and maybe Banks for the darkness of the tones. And then I also wanted to add some very tropical rhythms to the mix. I grew up in the suburbs of Paris and all my friends were from Martinique and Guadeloupe so I have always been surrounded by this sound. As I said before, the places I travel to inspire me a lot. I forgot to mention Brazil. Brazil is very important to me. When I recorded the E.P. I had just come back from Jamaica and I was totally obsessed with it so I introduced some baile funk and reggaeton / dancehall elements to the tracks too. I guess you can guess that there is a huge influence from 80's pop as well. I was obsessively crushing on Madonna when she did the whole True Blue/ Like A Prayer albums. That summed through the whole concoction without me even trying to include some of those references. It organically happened. “So Fucking Cold” seems to be a little more complex and detailed. How would you summarize the single for our readers? "So Fucking Cold" was written fully without music at first and I gave it to my producer- it's actually the first song that got worked on altogether- and he came back with a very dark, cold, echoey sounding track enriched with metal eerie noises that I thought was very fitting. We both made changes and added some instruments including violins and refined vocals, as you do.We left it there for a few months and finished the other track. I thought something was missing. I got my audio files back but there was a problem with them so I decided one day to just tweak the mp3 track in my bedroom on my laptop. Ghetto style. I added a lot of extra harmonies and haunting backing vocals, another violin and cello loop and a few more things and I guess that's the version you can now hear. It’s pretty busy with a lot of weird lines coming in and out and also a lot of layering. It's also a very emotionally heavy song as it's about domestic violence and abuse. So it had to be complex I think. To reflect the spirit of the song. It’s not an easy subject. What’s the appeal your songs have on others you feel? I think the songs have a message but it doesn't take away from the entertaining quality to them. People only read lyrics every so often and that’s only when they have passed the stage of liking the melodies I think… So that shouldn’t stop anyone from enjoying the songs despite the serious topics. I think the main appeal and draw of the E.P. is how catchy and infectious the melodies are! they make people dance. I hope so anyway!!! What’s the next step for you entering the new year? I am very excited about the forthcoming year. This was my first stepping stone in the creative process. I absolutely love writing so am gonna write loads more. Maybe for other people? In the meantime, I am going to release some remixes of the E.P. tracks. Some really good versions are currently being worked on and there are some great surprises and some dance floor club bangers!  More videos in the work too.  I am going to play a string of shows in New York, LA and London in the spring. And last but not least… I also have a single mixed and ready to go that I am very excited to release so that will come probably later in the year. It's gonna be hard to keep it under cover though I admit!

Born and raised in the Washington DC area, KHA is a singer and songwriter with a vast vocal range that is soulful, smooth, and powerful. She has performed at various notable venues in DC like The White House and The Kennedy Center, and at significant events such as the 53rd Presidential Inauguration Ceremony on the steps of The U.S. Capitol. KHA has also sung in different countries for many international audiences, and she continues to share her soulful pop style with all her fans around the world. Recently, KHA released her debut album "Retrospective Love" and it’s a soulful masterpiece about the one who (thankfully) got away. Her thoughtful lyrics and compelling melodies match perfectly with the brilliant musical arrangements of each song. And KHA’s powerhouse vocals bring all the elements of this incredible record together, making it a truly unforgettable production. This reflective and empowering album begins with "The Hurting Kind" – a dynamic opening song that showcases the retro soul and powerful pop tone that defines KHA. With lyrics about realizing the truth behind a fairytale relationship, KHA sets the tone for her fiercely solid album with this first song. As she perfectly transitions into the next track, KHA delivers a sassy performance with "Lose My Number" – the ultimate ‘know your worth girl power’ song! The hook is simple and direct – ‘just lose my number, no don't you call me anymore, hang up the phone, leave me alone, we've been through all this before’ – and it very clearly paints a picture of a woman who is no longer interested in a man’s emotional back-and-forth. This song will no doubt be relatable and relevant to anyone and everyone who has ever been in a seemingly never-ending on-and-off again relationship, and the addictive melody and next-level musical arrangement will certainly grab every listener’s attention. From sassiness to tenderness, KHA’s third track "Let You Down Easy" is a soulful tune about the heartache of being on the giving end of unrequited love, which is a surprisingly sweet contrast to the general tone of her album. This song is a fitting segue to track number four titled "Brand New Day" where KHA boldly combines old-school vibes, harmonies, and instrumentation with new-school melodies, beats, and spirit. This song is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" mixed with Meghan Trainor's "All About That Bass", but with a flare and tone unique to KHA and her own personal brand of pop soul music. The album’s midway point is an instrumental interlude titled "Lover's Lament" – an immediately attention grabbing 30-seconds that induces images of speakeasy lounges filled with red satin, candle lights, and cigar smoke. All of which leaves you wanting more until you happily realize that the interlude serves as a transition and introduction to the next track. "Trouble" is an up-tempo hit song, and a definite leading single on this album. In this song, KHA delivers a powerful performance as she sings about the vexing circumstances of being played for a fool by a heartless con-man in love. But as the story in the song unfolds, it’s clear that KHA goes from emotional victim to victor by not giving into bitterness and self-pity. Instead, she bounces right back in a badass and rebellious way as she refuses to let heartbreak taint her soul, thus proving once again the importance of having a strong sense of self-worth. In the opening lines of the hook – 'you're nothing but trouble, like a thief in the night, yeah you cut me deep, but I took back the knife' – it’s obvious that KHA doesn’t want or need anyone or anything negative in her life despite how much she must have loved this man. "Trouble" superbly captures the message of her “Retrospective Love” viewpoint, and it highlights the emancipating soulful force of KHA’s entire album. The final three songs on KHA’s album are far from anticlimactic, and in "Love Me Or Leave Me" she gives a hard-hitting bluesy performance. It’s evident from the lyrics of this song – ‘you keep pulling me in, you keep messing around, got me running in circles, you keep letting me down, I don't know what it is babe, we keep playing these games, and I want to get out’ – that KHA doesn’t have time for heart-rending games. Nor should she! But as much as “Love Me Or Leave Me” is defined by KHA’s directness and confidence, it’s the exposed emotion of the next track that makes it another standout hit on this album. "Waiting Game" is a riveting track from beginning to end, and it’s not difficult to become immediately captivated by the intro of this song. As the piano’s hopelessly love-sick tone eases together seamlessly with the vibrant sound of the horns section, you feel compelled to hum along with the catchy tune. But then the music recedes into simplicity and is accompanied by a beautifully sweet melody as KHA sings ‘I know you know I loved you all these years, you let me chase your heart, you let me cry these tears.’ In “Waiting Game” KHA breaks down the barriers between her strength and her vulnerability, revealing a surprisingly hopeless romantic side of her heart. This song prominently showcases KHA’s sincerity, passion, and authenticity as a singer and as a songwriter. It’s a standout classic with an unforgettable melody, which also rings true for the closing song on this album. "No Good For Me" is the final track on “Retrospective Love” and its strategic placement is genius! If this album is meant read as a reflective journey through the pages of KHA’s heartbreak book, then this last song is the perfect ending chapter! ‘You're just no good for me, I know you’re just no good for me’ is the single phrase that repeats throughout the hook, and KHA skillfully belts out these lyrics as she demonstrates the full range of her incredible voice. But it’s the haunting tone of her emotions as KHA sings the second verse – ‘I hate you babe, cause you know my heart a thousand ways, I hate you babe, cause you know the things I truly crave’ – that blends powerfully with the grittiness of the guitar, horns, and piano in this section. This hit song will most certainly be a fan favorite, and it’s a defining piece on this album that will no doubt become KHA’s signature sound. By the end of this album, you realize that KHA took us on her own personal journey from heartbreak to empowerment. And it’s the raw lyricism, compelling vocals, captivating tunes, and relatable messages that combine together masterfully to make “Retrospective Love” an exceptional debut album that everyone will most definitely enjoy. Click HERE to listen to "Retrospective Love" and check out our interview with KHA below! Hi KHA! Care to introduce yourself to our readers? Hello! I’m thrilled to be here and am so excited to have Buzz Music bring my debut album “Retrospective Love” to a whole new audience. This project was truly a labor of love, and it was a year long journey of fun and hard work. Prior to officially kicking off production, I had spent a few years bouncing lyrics and melodies around in my head, but it wasn’t until I met Johnny Black that my ideas became a reality. Johnny is an incredibly talented producer and songwriter, and together we brought my songs to life for this album. I really enjoyed all of our writing sessions, which made all of the trips back and forth to Nashville (where I actually recorded the album) extremely worthwhile. It was a wonderful experience getting to work with a Grammy nominated producer like Johnny, who not only produced all of the tracks on my album but he also did all of the instrumentation and arrangements for each song as well. I’m also very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with my friend and long-time vocal producer, Chris Rafetto, who is an amazingly talented sound-engineer too. And when Chris was done with all the mixes, we sent my album to 7-time Grammy nominated Vlado Meller for final mastering who made everything sound perfect! Hopefully your readers will agree once they listen to the whole album. I can’t wait to hear what they think! Such a unique name! How did you come up with it? Well, I have my parents to thank! Kha is actually my real name, but I just type it in all caps as KHA to differentiate it for anything related to my music. I figured it’s a unique enough name, so I didn’t see the need to come up with a different stage name. Woohoo! When did you begin singing? How long have you've been making music? I started singing and performing at a very young age, but it wasn’t until a few years ago that I decided to pursue a career in music. I started off by covering popular songs that I loved from the 60s through today, and I did this as a way to introduce my voice to fans around the world. Of course my main goal was always to write my own music. And once I felt like I had a sizeable enough following, I started working on “Retrospective Love” over a year ago. Besides singing, do you play any instruments? If so which? Yes, I play the piano, but it doesn’t come as easily or naturally to me as singing does. I started playing classical piano when I was 5, and I stopped playing the piano when I left for college. I can still pick up sheet music for Chopin or Beethoven and play it reasonably well, but I’m not naturally gifted at piano the way a true musician would be. Can you personally relate to any of the songs from "Retrospective Love" that you wrote? Why or why not? Yes, definitely! Every song on my album is autobiographical in some way. Of course, they’re all embellished a bit for the sake of artistry (LOL), but they’re all about a relationship or experience that I had in the past. My closest friends have been able to guess who each song is about, but I doubt any of the four guys who “inspired” my album would have a clue. I’m sure they would all think that the entire album is about them, but it’s not. I named the album “Retrospective Love” because it’s a collection of moments from multiple heartaches that I wanted to reflect on again. But thankfully they’re all moments and heartaches that I don’t feel anymore. What encouraged you to put this album together? As I mentioned above, I wrote this album as a way to reflect on my past relationships. And while I don’t feel the heartache and emotions that I felt during each of those moments, I did feel compelled to write this album as my final take on how and why everything ended with each guy. If you listen to the whole album, you’ll know that there’s only one song on there where I was the heartbreaker and not the heartbreakee like the rest of my songs. But what all of my songs have in common is the fact that despite the heartache and pain, I came away from each relationship understanding what not to accept and tolerate. Ultimately, this album is about emotional empowerment. "Retrospective Love" seems to carry strong and substantial lyrics on heartbreak, which song was the most challenging for you to execute? “No Good For Me” was the most challenging song by far, both vocally and execution wise. I remember getting choked up a little during not only the writing sessions but also during the recording session. And when I heard the first rough of the song (before it was mixed), I started crying. This song makes me emotional for a number of reasons. Partly because the words and the melody had been rumbling around in my mind for years before I started working on it officially, so hearing it out loud was overwhelming in a good way. But the main reason this song makes me emotional is because I still somewhat harbor the sentiments in this song. Do you have any personal favorites on the album? Why? Goodness. This is a really tough question. I feel like I birthed every song on this album, and how can you be expected to choose a favorite child?! LOL. If I have to pick, however, I’d say “No Good For Me” for reasons I mentioned above, and “Trouble” because I love how that song plays with different tempos and tones. It’s such a great “I’m not gonna take your nonsense” kind of song! How did you determine where you wanted to chronologically place the songs on the album? I have Johnny Black to thank for that. He basically locked himself in his studio for hours and listened to every song repeatedly until he came up with the perfect song order! We debated the final three songs a bit, but ultimately his original recommendation felt right. I definitely agreed with him about the importance of sound and vibe progression playing the main factor in choosing the song order. Story-telling was important too, but it took a back seat to which songs sounded best next to each other. The song order was less about chronology of events, and more about mood. We wanted the listener to feel a certain way from beginning to end. From your artist perspective, what was the main message of the album you wanted to promote? That it’s always important to learn from your past hardships, regardless of it was your fault or someone else’s fault. And that it’s ultimately a valuable lesson, and nothing more. I know it feels hopeless and dreary when you’re in the thick of your heartbreak, but it’s really true what they say – time heals all wounds – and emotional scars should serve as helpful reminders of what you should not be willing to endure in present or future relationships. Are you planning on releasing any music videos alongside any of these tracks!? Definitely! I’ve already released one music video for “Brand New Day” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sBm530tW-0I), and I will for sure be doing more music videos in 2019 for a handful of other songs from the album. I have a bunch of concepts in mind, but I just need to sit down and figure out production schedule and timing. Stay tuned! How excited are you for the upcoming year of 2019? VERY EXCITED! I have a number of things lined up for next year like doing more music videos and live performances, revamping my web site and social media, putting out KHA branded merchandise for my fans worldwide, and so on. But most of all, I’m excited to see how far “Retrospective Love” goes next year. It’s my hope that my album reaches many different audiences both here and abroad, and not for commercial reasons, but because I just want to bring really good music to everyone. In creating this album, it was important to me that my songs were not only authentic and relatable in meaning, but that they had thoughtful lyrics and great melodies as well! I’m really pleased with how everything turned out, and I am so excited to share this project with the world!
