- Jan Edwards Shakes Off The Winter Blues In New Album, 'LIGHT'
Midwestern-born singer-songwriter and versatile recording artist Jan Edwards releases her highly-anticipated follow-up album to her 2023 release, DARK, with the new, uplifting 14-track album LIGHT. From Minneapolis to Nashville and now Naples, FL, Jan Edwards is known for her genre-bending fusion of country, jazz, soul/R&B, pop, folk, and blues. Her talented songwriting has landed 1st place in the country category for the USA Songwriting Competition, not to mention her single "I Will," which was recorded and released by Darrin Morris, landing #1 on the Texas charts for three weeks. Now, Jan Edwards is back and better than ever after the cold winter months, moving forward from the DARK and encouraging listeners to embrace the LIGHT. The album unlocks with the inspirational opener, "Dream Girl," kicking off the experience with Jan Edwards's tender vocals and warm acoustic guitar, encouraging listeners that their dreams are never too far out of reach. If we never chase them, we'll never know how close they truly are. She ramps up the emotion in track two, "You and Me," painting all sorts of passionate images and scenarios in the listener's mind from the get-go. The soothing instrumentation paired with Edwards' vulnerable lyrics makes this song deeply impactful. While the energy heightens in track three, "Heart First," the impact can be said to be the same. Jan Edwards reminds us that when we keep ourselves open to new things, people, and experiences, we open ourselves up to the love we deserve. Setting off on a sonic daydream is track four, "Butterflies," and it sounds like Jan Edwards just might've found the love of her life. The whimsical and light-hearted instrumentation perfectly highlights Edwards' fairytale lyrics of getting ready to settle down with someone special. And what results from that? In "Pretty As A Picture," it seems that everything is coming up roses. The sun's shining, people are smiling, and being alive feels better than ever. Reaching song six, "Light In The Dark," Jan Edwards shows us just what good the darkness can bring. Sure, it might feel like your world is falling apart, but at the end of that tunnel, even inside of it, there can be light in the dark. The same inspirational theme continues in "Bless The Beautiful," opening with tender piano melodies and Jan Edwards' breathy vocals that encourage humankind to never give up on saving the world around us and how the people (and places) in it are pretty amazing. Onto the album's second half with track eight, "Perfect World," Jan Edwards opens this stunning song with soulful piano melodies and her warm vocals explaining how the stars and sun shine brighter in her perfect little world. The album's emotion reaches its peak on track nine, "Beautifully Broken," sonically serenading listeners with soothing instrumentation and Jan Edwards' lyrics that champion growth, inner beauty, and how the darkest times bring the greatest transformations. So, what does one do to treat oneself to some self-care? In "Paris Is Calling," Jan Edwards says all it takes is an imaginary vacation to the moonlit outdoor cafes of Paris. It's her 'happy place' - that inner sanctuary when the going gets tough. On track 11, "Rise Up," Jan Edwards provides what might be the most motivational song on the album. It's an anthemic, powerful, yet comforting reminder that we mustn't give up when obstacles arise. We get one life to live, and it's our duty to "Rise Up" and move forward. Jan Edwards has mastered the art of impactful, emotionally-driven songs that depict the human experience, as heard in "Walking With Angels," an emotional reminder that angels are upon us, whether we see them or not. And just like that, she takes us on a cathartic journey into "Set You Free," a truly empowering listening experience that highlights how it's okay to rely on others for help. Your meaningful connections can help "Set You Free" from life's burdens, but it's on you to accept them. Reaching the final track of the album "Let's Do Summer," Jan Edwards infuses this song with the utmost radiant energy that leaves us itching for the upcoming summer season. It's a perfect track to help you shake off the winter blues and prepare for bright days, warm nights, and good vibes all around. We love this choice of outro track for such a hopeful and positive album, and we're ready to see what Jan Edwards has up her sleeve next. Allow the serene and uplifting stylings of singer-songwriter Jan Edwards to transport you through a journey of the 'brighter' side of the human experience with her 14-track album, LIGHT, now available on all digital streaming platforms.

With feel-good release after feel-good release, this talented island reggae singer/songwriter has steadily positioned himself as one of the brightest talents to watch for in the future. Although he’s probably most well known for his single “Thank You” (which currently boasts almost three million Spotify plays), Suite’s rapidly expanding discography has impressed with its consistent quality as well. Releases like 2020’s “Beast Mode” also saw great success, and more recent releases like “God Gave Me You” and “I Choose To Love” further show why the Hawaiin native is quickly showing himself to be one of the best in the business. The story behind the creation of Suite’s latest release, “Dancing Shoes,” is unexpected but also heartwarming. The spark for “Dancing Shoes” came about when Suite’s wife recalled a moment in Hollister, where a song prompted Suite to dance without a single care in the world as to who saw. When Suite created “Dancing Shoes,” he envisioned a musical pick-me-up. Reflected in the relaxed beat and Suite’s comforting vocals, lyrics like “Put on your dancing shoes, moments you can’t refuse” lift your mood and invite you to let the music and positive vibes take over.

When you mix a passion for music + ADHD, you get me lol What does music mean to you, and is there any advice you’d like to give all the up-and-coming artists trying to follow in your footsteps? I found music to be a gift of mine entrusted by God to inspire, encourage, and motivate others with the message He puts on my heart to share with the world. My biggest advice to upcoming artists is always this: Know who you are before embarking on this journey. If you step into this industry with no idea or concept of who you are, you will be eaten alive, and the world will create your identity for you. Know who you are and know your purpose. Do you have any favorite music-related memories you’d like to share? Some of my favorite memories include touring Japan with some of the childhood greats that I grew up listening to (Laga Savea, Kiwini Vaitai) and touring in New Zealand, Australia and Cook Islands with one of my best friends “The Artist Fia”. Also, traveling to Jamaica with JBoog was a moment to remember. If your listeners could take one thing away from your music, what would you want it to be? If my music flows through your headphones or car or whatever medium you choose to listen to; and you are inspired, encouraged and want to run through a wall- My mission has been accomplished. What’s next for Johnny Suite? Can we expect to hear more new music soon? Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans? Music. Music. And more music. We are about to take over 2024.

- May Fall Explores The Depths Of His Subconscious In “Sleep”
Soaring in from Tel Aviv is indie, alternative, and synth-pop artist May Fall. With his recent dreamy single, "Sleep," he explores the enigma of slumber. Israeli artist May Fall is best known for his progressive metal background with Rotev/Road to Evenmind, leading him to gain traction in the electronic realm with synth-driven singles like "Blind Zone" and "Same Code." Now settled in his mix of synth-pop, avant-pop, nu-funk, and retro wave, May Fall is ready to continue winning over listeners far and wide with intricate synthesizer layers and undeniable grooves. With his latest single and accompanying music video on YouTube, "Sleep," May Fall's newest single comes from his sophomore EP, Submerge. While the video, directed by Thanos Kallianiotis in the historic city of Thessaloniki, Greece, offers hypnotic, dreamlike visuals, the song stuns the listener with pulsating beats and ethereal harmonies. Expanding on this lush listening experience, "Sleep" starts with dreamy synths and twinkling keys that transport us into a new dimension. As May Fall begins blessing listeners with his warm vocals, he sings introspective lyrics that explore sleep as a refuge, a path into one's psyche, and an escape from our busy, fast-paced world. What remains impressive is the song's timeless nature, with sounds reminiscent of 80s synth-pop infused with modern twists and turns for a genuinely refreshing listening experience. He effortlessly helps listeners travel into the depths of their subconscious while keeping their feet tapping with wicked basslines and stunning melodies that leave us starry-eyed. It's a beautiful, meaningful song with us looking forward to that end-of-day shut-eye. Looking to catch some ZZZs? Hit play on May Fall's newest single, "Sleep," and consider yourself refreshed. Find the new song on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to Buzz, May Fall! We're so impressed by the dreamy nature of your recent single, "Sleep." What inspired you to write a song about the enigma that is sleep? Thank you for having me here. I’m excited to be on Buzz and happy to know that you like “Sleep”! The human mind, and the place of sleep in it in particular, is a theme I’ve been revisiting in my writing for a long time, back from my band’s Road to Evenmind 2010 concept album “Diagnosis: Unsolved” that had the image of a bed with someone sleeping in it on its cover artwork, just to illustrate how central this topic was to me even then. However, “Sleep” takes it even further; it’s a eulogy to sleep. It’s inspired by my complex relationship with it, as many times in my life, it was the biggest comfort I craved, which turned it into a sweet and sublime yet dangerously addictive habit. It is dangerous because sleep in these situations is more than just sleep. It perhaps reflects the fulfillment of a momentary will to die (sorry for the seemingly narcissistic self-reference to a line from RTE’s song “Casket Bed”), and the more you are attracted to it could be a warning sign to your true aspirations. There’s a lot to it, and “Sleep” was a great opportunity to explore it. How does "Sleep" relate to the theme and concept of your upcoming sophomore EP, Submerge? Why did you choose to release it as the lead single from the project? Submerge explores the dark side of the human mind. This thread connects all the songs and the unpleasant internal struggles that some of us go through. The tension between the secret wish to disappear versus the primordial survival instinct. The previous single, “Determinist,” touched on that topic, but its focus was more philosophical, with whether we could have chosen other than what we did and, if not, what the point of regret was. The upcoming singles will deep dive into the dark depths of the inner self, but I think “Sleep” reflects the entry point. It moves through the two sides of that portal – the painful awakeness – being above water in terms of consciousness but below them in terms of feeling, and the enigmatic sleep – where your mind dives underwater where you find a sweet, uplifting nothingness or a surreal parallel existence that can be either wonderful, horrible or both combined. The cover artwork of Submerge also captures that dichotomy, watching yourself underwater from above the surface, so I think that “Sleep” is probably the most suitable to draw you in to listen to the full EP. What was your creative process when creating such dynamic, soul-soothing instrumentals and production for "Sleep?" How did you go about it? Thanks for this great question and compliment. “Sleep” is a very untypical May Fall song in terms of its atmosphere, as most of my songs are more upbeat and funky. However, like most of them, it started with composing its melody on the piano. It’s always important for me that the harmony will be captivating and emotion-provoking when stripped from all layers of production. When I felt, I got this with “Sleep” and went on to realize how the sound would be built on top of the harmony, but I encountered a challenge as there were two main parts of the song – the verses and choruses, that were very different from one another in their atmospheres. The verses are groove-driven and punchy, while the choruses are mellow and fluid – which perfectly serves the duality of the song’s theme but makes it challenging to stitch together seamlessly. So, I started experimenting, layering, and tweaking synth sounds. I got to this wet and fuzzy synth-bass sound that worked well for both the soft yet punchy bassline verses and soothing legato chorus bassline. However, I had to build two different sets of drum samples for both parts – an 808ish-sounding dry kit for the verses and a spacious, slappy-sounding one with a long reverb for the choruses. Now, I realized I needed synth pads throughout the song to keep its flow, but the pads that fitted the verses were evolving with a sweeping filter while the chorus needed a warm and steady caressing pad sound. So I found the piece that joined everything together in the form of a dreamy bell that gradually leads into the choruses, where it becomes the melody that carries the chorus alongside the ‘sleep sleep’ whispers. What was your experience working alongside director Thanos Kallianiotis for the Greece-filmed music video "Sleep?" What was that collaboration like? Working with Thanos Kallianiotis on this video was a great experience. He’s a true artist, he shot and edited the video, and directed it alongside Angelo Kalfopulos, who’s also a great visionary. I was searching for videographers with unique styles when I came across Thanos’ work. His creativity and ability to convey feelings through the screen blew me away. He really liked “Sleep” and was excited to make its music video. I flew to Thessaloniki to shoot the video in an incredible location he found, an enchanting 200-year-old house. It was pristine and looked like it was frozen in time. Walking around there just gives you the chills, and walking around in this place is so inspiring. Every room you enter brings up new and crazy ideas. We experimented a lot with weird and creepy shots. While the shooting sessions were intense, it was also great fun. Thanos, Angelos, and I instantly clicked, both on the artistic and personal level. We share a similar sense of humor, which made the whole experience more relaxed and enjoyable. After that, Thanos worked his magic in the editing room, and I was just stunned by the result. He managed to capture the essence of the song, its theme, and atmosphere and bring it to life in a mesmerizing music video. If your audience could experience anything when listening to "Sleep," what do you hope that is? What was your goal in terms of the listener's experience? There are a few songs that manage to drive me both emotionally and intellectually, both musically and lyrically. It takes a bit of unusual and surprising yet pleasant composition of harmony, melody, beat, and sound with lyrics you can deeply relate to. Musically, I find songs like Duran Duran’s “New Moon on Monday”, Aerosmith’s “Hangman Jury”, Type O Negative’s “Love You to Death”, Chesney Hawkes’ “The One and Only” and Louis Cole’s “Things” to do this to me. I can listen to these songs repeatedly, return to them a few years later, and still get that feeling of warmth and watery eyes. I hope “Sleep” will cause some listeners to feel that way too.

"Where Do I Go" is a testament to Drey's prowess as a songwriter and performer, and it's a track that demands to be heard, celebrated, and replayed. Welcome to Buzz, Drey! We love your latest release of "Where Do I Go." Can you please share the inspiration behind this and how it reflects your experiences? Where do I go was an idea born out of frustration and feeling like I had no idea where I was supposed to be. The song deals with a recurring theme of asking if things will change and where I should go. This song is a culmination of the last few years of my life. I think that the older I get, the less sure I am of anything, really, and this song, I feel, reflects the question I am constantly asking. With a background in classical music and self-taught guitar skills, how do these influences shape your unique sound? How has your sound evolved? I would not be the musician I am today without having had that experience in the classical world. So much of how I write and sing is reflected by my time in my music program. I decided to learn guitar while writing so many songs so quickly that it seemed more reasonable to have an instrument that fit in my car. I didn't think it would stick, but most of my favorite songs have been written with just my guitar, my guitar, and a Logic file. My sound has matured, as have I. I will always love pop music; that is where my strengths lie. "Where Do I Go" has a cinematic and theatrical quality. What led to this creative choice in the production of the song? My favorite parts of any song are the parts that immerse you in a cinematic experience where you are the main character. I love string swells and any element that gives a song that magical touch. My husband is a master at adding that on a track, and we had a great time collaborating for the production. Experience plays a huge role in songwriting. Could you please elaborate on how these moments shape the themes and narratives of your songs? I think COVID was always what I thought about when writing this song. I had plans for a very different life pre-2019, and at times, it still feels like I'm navigating unknown waters. This song is also a great pep-talk for being afraid to go for something. Especially in the line, "Will I still feel this way?" I wanted it to come across as, of course, you will unless you change something. What do you hope listeners take away from "Where Do I Go," and how does it contribute to the larger narrative of your musical journey? I hope listeners take away that if they are feeling unsure, lost, or even discouraged, they are not alone, and I hope they can find comfort in that. This song is a great representation of my musical journey, as most of my new material deals with experiences everyone has throughout their twenties. Instagram
