  • All Good Vibes From B. Lamar With His Latest Release "East LA"

    B. Lamar is a self made musician by producing, writing and sometimes even mixing his own songs. His genres range from club bangers, catchy pop singles, rap and love songs. His fanbase has continually grown as he releases a song every month on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal and all streaming channels. Echoing reverb runs are heard in the intro of Bryant Lamar’s track “East LA”. Smooth and collected, the song progresses into a chill, longing love song. Reminiscing over a lover, B. Lamar recollects memories of when he was in high school while continually providing a chill beat. A collection of somewhat R & B as well as slight reggaeton is what this song primarily consists of. Although, the mood is somewhat nostalgic and the topic is rather sad, B. Lamar is able to keep the energy up in a way that encapsulates his story for the listener. B. Lamar definitely has his own sound, and should be given props that this track was produced and written by himself which is a talent in itself. It is no wonder he has over 10k listens on Spotify and has been put on over 300 playlists. This artist will definitely be on yours.

  • From Seattle To Los Angeles Follies & Vices Release Their New Song "Red Wine"

    This kick off with a contemplative mood, on Follies & Vices’ song “Red Wine.” But the Seattle band, now living in the City of Angeles, quickly picks it up. You'll probably notice your head nodding from the start gate right to the finish line. Essentially, Rob Auerbach and Tanner Houghton have dropped an action-packed song that’s staged-managed to perfection. There’s a lot of meat to it. You picture the blinding sun almost bringing them to tears. Because the lyrics touch on a difficult situation. “It felt like love,” you hear. “And I think I’ve had enough.” The questioning, the frustration, the laments. It’s all so disheartening. Or at least that’s what you would think if you just read the liner notes. In fact, the song just sounds fun and hopeful. It’s a pop number with a lot of energy. And btw. It’s a big win on the kid vocal snippet. Plus the muffled attack that follows is only marginally so. The song lets the guitar run of into excess. But even that fits neatly between the raucous body of the track and the final chorus, which functions almost as a fade out. I’m just left with one question… Why did they decided to write a kind of tragic song that leaves you feeling so damn good? The only thing we can figure is they want us all to remember life is for living, and that you should have fun even in your failures. Listen to "Red Wine" here, and learn more about Follies & Vices in our interview below! What made you pull the trigger on the move from Seattle to LA? When we got started with this version of the project in mid-2017, we were huddled away in Seattle writing and producing in solitude. After finishing three demos that we were proud of, we sent them out to producers and one of them invited us to his studio in LA to record for a week. As they shopped us to major labels we felt like it would be best for us to make a permanent move here. Have you been touring, and if so what’s that been like? We haven’t toured on this material yet, but we would like to as soon as the opportunity presents itself. Last year we mainly focused on getting better at writing and producing so that we can have a body of work out that we really believe in. Who is the yin and who is the yang? I think that Tanner is the yin and I (Rob) am the yang. Early on, I noticed that some of Tanner’s demo lyrics had a nihilistic undertone with no positive twist or ending, and I would always try to convince him to write something a little more inspirational. I also had a tendency to write celebratory sounding instrumentals and he would tell me they sound too cheesy. What’s up with how Red Wine sounds super positive, even though the song itself is kinda sad? It mainly has to do with the separate roles we play in the project. I listen to a lot of dance music and my role in the band is to write and produce the instrumentals, so I made what I wanted to hear. Tanner’s role is to write the lyrics, so he wrote about a difficult situation he was going through as a means of catharsis. If Tanner was writing the instrumental, the beat probably would have matched the underlying tone of the lyrics. Connect with Follies & Vices: Instagram Facebook Soundcloud #BvuzzMuisic

  • Dembe' Releases "Holy Girl"

    Born in Columbia, South Carolina and later raised in Charleston, Dembe’ (meaning peace in African),has been making music since the third grade. He has released three tapes with his latest called, “Wonderland”. Dembe’ has worked with many other artists and producers such as Matt Tuton, and Lefrais to name two. Some artists that influence him are J.Cole,2Pac,Kendrick Lamar, and Foster the People. An electronic piano starts off the track as we continue to the verse. Dembe’s production and lyrics are witty and explicit. “She says she’s Christian but she judge me”, gives the basis of the song. “Holy Girl” which is the title of the song, is also the chorus which makes for somewhat of a theme. Dembe' describes how these girls are saying they are holy and proper but in reality they are not what they seem. Dembe’ is a real lyricist and knows how to keep his flow going to make an impact. The production value of this track is very strategic in which it shows how in the beginning it is this very sweet piano sound and by the end of the song it is like the piano has broken just like the girls he has described. If you enjoy rap and hard beats this track will make it on your playlist. Listen to "Holy Girl" here, and learn more about Dembe' in our interview below! Hi there, care to introduce yourself to our readers? I go by Dembe’ and I’m from the westside of Charleston, SC. I’ve been making music with same few people since I was about 12. Me and my homeboy since second grade (Lefrais) started making music at 12 with his cousin (Nappy) and my younger brother (Dcmvp). I listen to every genre of music and all eras. Music is important to a lot of people. It saves lives, makes people happy, dance, party, chill, make dreams come true and more. I spent a lot of time and money on my craft and things about to start happening. Why do you look up to J. Cole and in what ways does he influence you in your music? J. Cole is unique and original. He does his own thing and tells his own stories. Seems like he’ll run out of ideas sooner or later but keeps coming up with hits, his creativity is wild. Cole is bringing rap/art back to hip hop and it’s much needed. He influences me with the knowledge he gives. What inspired you to write “Holy Girl”? "Holy Girl" is based off true stories. I grew up going to church and it always helped me get through a lot. I met someone who was cool, but her family didn’t approve of us kicking it and they didn’t even know me. Just went off assumptions and things they heard. Long story short, I poured my crown and wrote it down. Her and a whole lot of other people ended up loving the track. What should your fans look forward to with your new music? I think my fans should look forward to some big things in the near future. Visuals, performances, music and most importantly a different sound. I feel like I’ve kept my own sound throughout all the “waves” and trends. I can only be me. Why do you go by Dembe’ and what is its significance to you? The name thing is new to people who’ve listened to since I started dropping music in middle/high school. I was always known as leanboy but I had to switch up once I stopped pouring heavy and sipping on it. Dembe’ came from my first rap name from middle school “Deezle D.” The D stood for Dembe’. I put my government name in a African name translator online and the name came back as Dembebushiki or something long and crazy, so I just went with the first part of the name. What do you think your impact will be in the music industry? My impact would be a whole new different wave. I want to be able to be one of the southern artist with a new style from Charleston, SC. Im looking forward to all the oppurinities and doors that will open for me in this industry to make a positive impact in the music industry. Connect with Dembe': Instagram Soundcloud #BuzzMusic

  • Piper Madison Releases “Hard Feelings”

    Piper Madison is a 16 year old multi instrumentalist as well as singer who knows how to produce quality sounding music such as the release of her single “Hard Feelings”. Best known for her work previously on Nickelodeon's 100 things to do before high school, she knows how to cultivate a unique and detailed sound that many people can become engrossed by. “Hard Feelings” begins with a slight sultry aura with a dazzling rock pop tune that can become widely popular and a mainstream success across many radio stations. “Love is just a feeling, I don’t like this feeling” “No hard feelings, just quit reeling me back in”. The romantically melancholic lyrics are perfect for this valentine season where people are more prone to listen to music that helps them reflect on their significant others. Besides the relatable lyrics, the whole melody of the single was just really addicting for us. It’s so memorable where we will find ourselves randomly singing the hook in the office. It’s nonetheless a hit that will spark chemistry between you and that special person on your mind. Listen to "Hard Feelings" here, and learn more about Piper in our interview below! Hey Piper, mind telling us a little bit about yourself? I'm a singer-songwriter, instrumentalist, and actress, born in Louisville, KY. I moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting about seven years ago. You can catch me in a national Domino's commercial right now, and I have a short film coming out called "Afterthoughts." Aside from acting and music, I love dogs, nature, food, and fashion. What inspired you to write “Hard Feelings”? "Hard Feelings" was inspired by an on-again off-again relationship that was super annoying and wouldn't end. I wrote the song out of anger, but it turned into my form of closure. Does it become challenging for you to connect with your songwriting or is it something you’re natural at? Songwriting is something I just connect with. I use songwriting as an outlet for my emotions because it has always been easier for me to write and sing what I'm feeling than say how I"m feeling. All in all songwriting comes pretty naturally to me. How does “Hard Feelings” differentiate from your other releases? "Hard Feelings" is more upbeat and has a faster-tempo than my two previous releases! My vision for this track was to make you want to dance and sing along. What’s next for you through 2019? I'll be releasing more singles over the next month or two, leading up to the release of my debut album! I also have some performances coming up: You can catch me at SXSW on March 15 with colourscouture.com/sxswand listen for me on Good Morning La La Land on February 25th.

  • Toronto Band Black Creek Reign Releases New Song "Now I’m Free”

    Do you like to swing with a partner at the dance after a community potluck? Are you someone who appreciates a good “I have no regrets” ballad? Do you wish the radio still sounded like it did when Marcy Playground and Third Eye Blind ruled the airwaves? If so, you might be a candidate for falling in love with Black Creek Reign’s track “Now I’m Free.” These Torontonians play music that has an appreciation of the blues while keepin’ it 100 as a straight pop-rock band. BTW that’s guitarist Darren Armoogam (also on lead vox), drummer Shane “Sixbuttons” Schlesinger, and bassist Lex Stultz. They’ve released a single independent EP titled “Excommunicado,” and profess influences for funk and reggae. Mostly this reminds me of the inoffensive and middle-of-the-road tuneage from my regular AM station in the 90s, before they turned into a Disney-fied FM station. This is music that doesn’t fit distinctively into any niche category and therefore can be consumed by anyone, as long as it hits you at the right time. There’s something to be said for music that can be potentially embraced by the masses. The guitar solo ends before you realize you’ve been gifted one. There’s a basic verse-chorus structure and even a tiny bridge! The best part of the song is the final line, where the singer digs in pretty deep and you feel like he’s letting it all out. But even then, it’s not over the top or anything. Listen to "Now I'm Free" here, and learn more about Black Creek Reign in our interview below! In your humble opinion, what’s the key to sticking together as a band? Darren - I think it boils down to having everyone in the band being on the same page about the overall vision. Where are we going, and what do we want to accomplish? If you can’t agree on that as a band, you aren’t likely to go every far. We’ve been lucky to have everyone demonstrate how passionate they are about the project, and it’s translated into the little success we’ve found. We all want to take Black Creek Reign as far as possible, and all 3 members are on board for the long haul! Lex - Yeah, we’ve been very lucky that we get along as friends first and bandmates second. Naturally, between writing and rehearsing we have to spend a lot of time together, being able to be relaxed around each other goes a long way, especially at the end of a long night or writing session. We can always step back and we know that we’re there to support each other no matter how dumb our ideas get. Shane - I have to agree with what Lex says about being friends first. A successful band isn’t always about finding the best musicians - it’s about finding that personal chemistry, which we’re fortunate enough to have. The fact that I’m working with guys that I would hang out with anyway is a huge part of why I wanted to stay on as the drummer after we recorded Excommunicado. It also helps when the guys are already solid musicians and songwriters, but I believe that the camaraderie needs to be there for a band to thrive. Who drives the songwriting. And who is your secret weapon that takes the songs to the next level? Darren - The songs on this EP were written by Lex and myself mostly, Lex is a rhythmic and lyrical mastermind, and I think I’ve been growing as a harmony/melody constructor. Shane joined all of this after the EP was already written, but his ideas on pushing a catchy beat or steady percussive foundation can’t be understated. In terms of secret weapons, it’s actually Lex & Shane. They’ve done a GREAT job of taking the mish mash of ideas I’ll come to rehearsal with, and steering it in the right direction. Like cutting down on pointless chord extensions and pinpointing hooks that drive songs. Goodness it makes life easier having great bandmates. Lex - It sounds cliche, but it’s truly a team effort. Darren and I were the lead on this album, but Shane has put his own drumlines in and really made those parts his own. We like to write together for the most part, and what we’ll do is prepare a bunch of ideas that we think are good individually and show them to the other guys. We know we’re going to get a completely honest opinion from each other, so if an idea is terrible, and there can be lots of terrible ideas, we know it’s going to be called out right away and dealt with. I think the secret weapon lies in our different strengths. Darren is great at harmony, I’m good at writing the lyrics, and Shane is good with shaping the dynamics of the song, either through arrangement or rhythm. We just got really lucky that our skills are in different areas, and no one’s ego is too big to defer to a guy who has another idea or perspective on the problem. Shane - I don’t think we have a secret weapon to be honest - at least not a specific person. Each band member brings a unique skill set to the project and when we put it all together, it just works perfectly. Between Darren’s solid vocals and guitar chops, Lex’s great sense of rhythm and riff-writing, and my ability to just lay down the groove and focus on feel instead of flare, we’ve created what we believe will be a signature sound. If anything, I’d say that our secret weapon is our ability to walk into a rehearsal room, pick up our instruments, and feed off each others’ ideas effortlessly until we have a song. We’ve written new songs so quickly as a result of that chemistry and it’s sometimes almost hard to believe how easy it is with these guys. What do you like about playing music that can connect with people? Darren - It’s a high that can’t be put into words. There aren’t too many feelings better than having a song truly resonate with an audience. Digging deep into feelings that sometimes can’t be put into words is a cathartic experience, and we’re happy to make memorable music for an appreciative audience, it’s a literal dream job and we’re hoping to make it full time. Lex - If I (or we) as a songwriter, is feeling something that I need to share, it’s a very vulnerable place to be. It’s hard to put yourself out there like that, but the amazing part is, sharing that feeling you find that a lot of other people are feeling it too. If we can connect in a visceral way to people and have them share those feelings with us, it’s a very powerful thing, and we really strive to form that connection with people, where they can feel that song speaks right to them personally. Shane - When you put your heart and soul into writing a song and then later you see other people dancing or singing along to it at a show, it’s a huge compliment. When you write songs, you’re essentially putting a piece of yourself out there and it can make us songwriters feel very vulnerable, so when a person connects with that, it feels like you truly share something special with them. How do you feel about where the music scene is at these days? Darren - Incredibly excited. You don’t have to wait around to have a big label sign you if you’re a band who wants to go out and perform. Literally anyone can do it these days with the power of social media and marketing, so it’s a great time to be a musician if this is really want you want to do. That being said, it’s definitely hard to kick up a fuss, but sticking to your guns and making sure that the music comes first is always the key to any type of musical success. Lex - Ditto. It seems intimidating at first, because there are a lot of talented people out there trying to do the same thing, but at the same time they’re equally driven to succeed and, especially in Toronto, where we play, we’ve fostered a group of other musicians who are always willing to play shows and get their voices out there for people to hear. Shane - I have mixed feelings about the current music scene. It’s a very different era now that everything is so driven by social media and streaming services. It’s so easy to keep people in the loop about what your band is up to and it’s definitely easier to access the music compared to 20 years ago. At the same time, I feel like less people these days are willing to go out and actually see an indie band play on a Wednesday night at some random small venue when they could just watch someone’s live stream on Facebook. In Toronto, we’ve seen several venues close down and be replaced with coffee shops and condos, which is pretty sad. I remember playing places like The Reverb and Third Floor Reilly’s for some of my first shows out of high school. I feel like the Toronto scene is constantly fighting to stay alive, but fortunately, we have some great people (and musicians) in our scene that are fighting hard to promote live music. We also have an awesome growing music scene up in York Region, which is beginning to become a hot spot for independent musicians to play gigs. Hopefully, we see some of that spill back into the Toronto scene in the near future. >Any crazy stories about recording this song or your album Excommunicado? Darren - I take a lot of time to think of names for albums, songs, and all that. I think it’s SO important to make sure every detail is something you’re happy with. I was watching John Wick, an action movie, and that’s where I got the album name from. At the end of the 2nd movie, John is pretty much exiled from his underworld connections, and Ian McShane looks dead into the camera and says “John Wick….Excommunicado”. A light bulb went off in my head and I loved how the word sounded. I had been trying for ages to come up with a title that didn’t sound like it was trying too hard to be edgy, but was still unique...and THAT was it. Excommunicado for me is cutting all ties with my past, and moving forward as a brand new man and musician. A direction for the band, new possibilities, and new members, we’ve successfully placed our past in exile, and couldn’t be more excited for the future. Lex - The idea of excommunication obviously carries religious connotations, and the denial of sacraments in the church. I’m not religious, and I wasn’t fully on board when Darren brought the name to me. But I took some time to process it, and thought about the idea behind it more metaphorically than literally, and that idea of being rejected by the majority, or whatever is recognized as the institutional norm is one I could absolutely get behind. Pursuing a career in the arts is definitely outside the what would be considered a normal career, and personally I’ve always felt a bit like an outsider around other people, so it’s an idea I think is meaningful to me, and hopefully will be to anyone else who doesn’t feel like they quite belong in the majority. As far as crazy stories, I think it’s crazy we did 90% of the EP in basically 2 takes live off the floor! Shane - Yeah, we basically recorded the whole foundation of the EP in 5 hours. I joined the band three weeks prior, learned the songs, rehearsed a few times, and went straight into the studio with Darren and Lex. I think all 5 drum tracks were done in about 90 minutes. Lex nailed virtually every bass track in one take. Then, just when I think I’ve seen it all, Darren walks into the booth with his guitar and starts tracking vocals and rhythm guitar simultaneously! That was probably the craziest part to me - how quickly everything came together and how much we accomplished in those first 5 hours. Connect with Black Creek Reign: Instargam Facebook #BuzzMusic

  • Live The "Dream Life" With Ryan Reddy

    With his musical career starting at age 14, Ryan Reddy saw commercial success with “Take Me To The Clouds” by Black Moss which was playlisted across South African radio. This single charted on YFM along with other stations and even appeared on Black Moss’s Mind Trip EP. Since Ryan has reached the Hip Hop charts on iTunes in South Africa before, he intends to take his career in music to new levels with his latest debut project. In his latest single “Dream Life", Ryan Reddy brings us a cool modern hip hop track reminiscent of his predecessors such as Usher. Ryan has a nice flow and knows how to easily transition to his catch chorus of “Dream Life”. The song itself is uplifting and has many ornamental values to it vocally and musically. The backing vocals by Devonte really pull it together giving it an extra layer of excitement. This is a new taste for the genre of hip hop and this can easily be played on the radio in the States. Reddy’s production is great with added musicality from Devonte's harmonies and inserted drum beat. Devonte's vocals are strong almost taking after Khalid with his soulfulness and sound. Overall this is a breath of fresh air for the hip hop genre and hip hop lovers alike. Listen to "Dream Life" here.

  • Petite Celine Gives Us A New Sound With “Man Made Fire”

    Petite Celine is a Franco-American indie singer-songwriter & multi-instrumentalist based out of Brooklyn, NY. Celine rebelled into the arts, excelling first in acting for film & TV, working with directors such as Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood by the age of 10, and picking up a handful of instruments along the way. It wasn't until college, when Celine found herself homeless with only a small suitcase and the guitar on her back, that she started performing her own compositions for complete strangers. Busking on the streets of Lower Manhattan, she discovered the power music has to bring people together from all walks of life. Today, Petite Celine plays regularly across the Tristate area, where her LED paintings have also become accompaniment to the act. Her mission is to celebrate cultures from around the globe and build bridges not borders. Tuning in to Petite Celine’s latest “Man Made Fire”. This single is one unique composition! I have never really heard a sound like this but to describe it, it is like a blend of electronic, soul, alternative, and just all around sound! There are so many different sounds that melt together into one perfect sound that is really one of a kind. This could easily fall into some lounge or relax music vibes maybe even under a blacklight. This song truly just gives you all the feels. Sultry, lucid, seductive, layered, I mean the list goes on and on. I would be curious to see a visual paint session to this song! Listen to "Man Made Fire" here, and learn more about Celine in our interview below! Hey! If you could would you please introduce yourself to our readers? Hola, je m'appelle Petite Celine, and I am a Franco-American Indie Pop artist based out of Brooklyn, NY. Growing up between two countries as a kid really fostered an ear for fusion, and it also cemented my love for international pop. I thought it was really cool that I didn't need to know what a singer was saying in order to feel what the song was about. My aim is to explore that universality of music in my own compositions. It's precisely in these "mad-scientist moments," when I decide to fuse polka and reggae in the same song, or write a song that incorporates both koto and trumpet, or that is as much in Spanish as it is in English, that I am assured that beauty is everywhere, and it is interconnected and harmonious. Inspired by artists such as Sting, Brazilian Girls, and Sia, I believe in the power that music has to build bridges. My favorite thing to witness is how the right song can bring people together from all walks of life. My album releasing March 15th, featuring 5 languages and instruments from around the world, is tailored to that experience. What was the first instrument that you learned to play? My first instrument was the piano (then it was percussion/drums (I was in the drum line in his marching band), then voice, then guitar, then trumpet, then ukulele, then mandolin, and now I am trying to learn the cello!) While you were homeless what really motivated you to keep composing and performing? Necessity. At the time, all I had was my guitar and a carry-on suitcase. Arguably, that's was encouraged me to perform in the first place. I had performed as an actress before, in TV & film, and I had sung in choirs and school musicals, but my compositions had been a private therapy up until that point. It was that experience that really pushed me to share them with others. And when I saw the positive response, not only did it make me feel seen and heard, and no longer so alone, but I could see I had an effect on others too, and I wanted to continue pursuing that heartfelt exchange. Can you give us some insight to “Man Made Fire”? Written on the harmonium, "Man Made Fire" is a song that came to me from a deep meditation. I began sobbing out of no where for Mother Earth and humanity's relationship to her. I began thinking about how we have abused and used her and how much we have disrespected ourselves in doing so as well. I had always been more or less conscious of this stuff, but I had reached a new level of awareness and sense of responsibility. The song is an attempt to act upon that. To speak a message but also profess being a part of the collective problem, and the beginnings of healing that. Sonically, I wanted the track to reflect this relationship between the organic and the industrial with harmony and dissonance. I combined Portishead-esque electronic and glitchy percussion with the acoustic qualities of the harmonium, shakers, and and a choir of voices. The song, written mainly in English, also features a passage in German, "Engel tanzen auf einer blauen Flamme; Es gibt keine Rückkehr von diesem Drama," which translates to "Angels dance on a blue flame; there is no return from this drama." What we can expect to see or hear from you throughout this year? So this track, "Man Made Fire," is the title track off my new 10-track album releasing March 15th. I'll be at SXSW playing a show the same day at The Infinite Monkey Theorem in Austin, TX at 7pm. Then, kicking off with a show at Pianos in NYC on April 20th at 8p, my incredible live band and I will tour the album this spring & summer on the East Coast and hopefully play some festivals in the fall. Possibly trying to plan a little Euro-tour soon as well. Connect with Petite Celine: Instagram Facebook Website Youtube #BuzzMusic
