His willingness to embrace vulnerability adds a compelling depth to his music, captivating listeners with its honesty and emotional resonance. This genuine portrayal of human experience perfectly embodies his moniker, 'The Honest Poet.' Collaborating with fellow Welsh artist and producer MINAS, this soulful R&B ballad has undergone a remarkable transformation from its original acoustic roots, showcasing the evolution of The Honest Poet's sound. Reflecting on the single, The Honest Poet revealed, "Fun fact, 'Made Me Stronger' was originally written a few years ago and just resided as an attempt at writing a pop song that could potentially be on the radio. It started with an acoustic vibe until the idea of the EP came about. Minas did what he does best and unlocked its potential. The feel contrasts with the others on the project, so I thought it would be the perfect lighthearted song to end the EP. It’s one of my favorites on the project because we play it a lot in my band, 'The Honest Poet Society.’” After captivating listeners with his 2023 single 'Toxic City,' ‘Made Me Stronger’ is a second preview of his forthcoming EP, 'Love Complexity'. This EP explores love's intricate and often darker aspects, a thematic departure from his debut EP 'Letters To My Queen.' While his initial project beautifully narrated the love story between himself and his fiancée, 'Love Complexity' delves deeper, delving into the complexities that define modern relationships. As fans eagerly anticipate the EP's release on April 5th, 'Made Me Stronger' serves as a poignant precursor, inviting listeners to embark on a soul-stirring journey through heartache and resilience. Available now on all major streaming platforms, 'Made Me Stronger' is a testament to The Honest Poet's artistry and emotional depth. INSTAGRAM FACEBOOK

The talented musician continues his streak of releases that pull on the heartstrings. Having grown up surrounded by good music, Victor Flores’s earliest childhood memories were filled with the sounds of legends like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Michael Jackson, and more. Having started playing the piano at the tender of seven, learning through pure intuition, it’s fair to say that young Flores was marked for the big stage early on. Having caught the attention of the masses and industry alike with captivating releases like 2022’s “Mappa Mundi” and “Todo Sigue Igual,” this talented artist seems destined for big things. Born in Los Angeles, California, but spending most of his life in Mexico, music was a consistent and steadying factor for the budding star. From the moment he bought his first electric guitar, all Flores wanted to do was make music. This fierce passion underlines his release and is a majour factor in what makes them great; with every release, it almost feels like Flores has imbued a part of himself into the music. In Flores’s eyes, music makes life magical, and his music reflects this heartwarming belief. From the moment soft, gentle piano keys ease us into “DIOSA” (Goddess), Flores sets the stage for his gentle vocals to steal our hearts. Almost whispering at times, delicious lines like “Una diosa / Un poco tóxica y preciosa” are delivered with the perfect balance of trepidation and longing. As expected from an artist of Flores’s caliber, the instrumental and vocal performances feel harmonious, bringing out the best in each other. Make no mistake, though; Flores’s vocals still steal the show, and we can’t wait to see what he will show us next.

Playing since he was 17 and now releasing a mix of albums and singles, Ryan Richmond is proving himself as an artist to watch in Arizona's Metal and Rock space. And he's doing just that through hot new singles like his latest, "Banshee Hellfire." While the entire 2 minutes and 7 seconds are instrumental, Ryan Richmond commands our attention with every split second, even without saying a word. His guitar prowess and dexterity are wildly impressive, and we're thrilled to get this powerful sound into your speakers. Hitting play on "Banshee Hellfire," the experience opens with a quick glimpse of drums, which Richmond has done all the programming for, alongside his hellish electric guitar that melts our faces. As he kicks the song into gear, his rhythmic transitions and panning from left to right through his crunchy guitar licks take this track to the next level. It doesn't get much better than a song that vibrates your speakers, and that's an understatement when it comes to this bold track. Ryan Richmond has showcased his vast guitar and production skills and impressive ability to capture the listener's attention and keep it throughout an entirely lyricless track. And with today's attention spans, that's not something you see (or hear) daily. Do yourself a favor and introduce yourself to one of the newest threats in the Metal scene, Ryan Richmond. His latest single, "Banshee Hellfire," is now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to Buzz, Ryan! We're wildly impressed by the sound and style of your recent single, "Banshee Hellfire." What inspired you to create this powerful, attention-grabbing track? And what inspired its title? There is a song called AC-130 from the band Attack Attack! That song has always inspired me, and I wanted to make my own kind of song like that, but in my style. I’ve always been attracted to short but sweet bangers. And well, I needed a title that matched the song, and it just so happened to be Halloween time, so I tried to make it hellish and gripping haha What was your creative process when crafting your guitar riffs, the drum programming, and the song "Banshee Hellfire?" It started with the opening riff, and I built the song around that. I wanted to make it kind of thrash metal but with breakdowns. That combination allowed me to make the drums as hard and as fast as I possibly could, which is always secretly what I want to do anyway. Since "Banshee Hellfire" is purely instrumental, how did you ensure your listeners would remain engaged throughout the entire experience? Doing so many instrumentals has hopefully taught me a lot about keeping songs engaging from start to finish. I don’t quite feel right unless I change something every few measures, whether it’s drums, the way I’m playing a riff, what the bass is doing, or anything else. I know it won’t keep anyone else’s interest if it's not keeping me interested. What did you want your audience to feel when listening to "Banshee Hellfire"? What feelings or sensations did you want to convey? I want to give ‘em that Rock ‘n’ Roll feeling! I want to make you feel like you can do anything! Listen to it and work out; listen to it and crush your enemies; go grab that lightning! What makes "Banshee Hellfire" different from your previous releases? What makes this song stand out to you? So far, I believe my production on this song is the best I’ve done! The song also really reflects my adrenaline-fueled side. It’s always nice to think about how those two elements came together to make fire. Instagram

British singer-songwriter, performer, and producer Max Cinnamon is back with a hot new release to scorch your speakers titled "City On Fire." The 22-year-old recording artist began his musical journey at age 5 by playing guitar, violin, piano, and drums. At 14, he was busking around France, eventually leading him to work alongside Emmy-winning CBS technical director Fountain Jones, not to mention co-writing Croatia's 2021 Eurovision entry "Tick Tock." Max Cinnamon has landed over 16 million Spotify streams through his many collaborations with artists and producers worldwide.

It's a reminder that society is set to face extreme challenges, and we must be prepared. Keep the energy high and channel your inner fight or flight with Max Cinnamon's sweltering new single, "City On Fire," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We're head over heels for your recent powerful single, "City On Fire." What inspired you to create this wildly catchy, anthemic new track? Was there a specific message or concept you wanted to convey to listeners with your lyrics in "City On Fire"? What did you want them to take away? I wrote City on Fire with Jonathan Bluth and producer Vincent Ott in Los Angeles, which inspired me to add several interpretations to the song. It could represent the city being highly energetic, fun, and exciting, or the way I see it, when we wrote the song, it is more about how world leaders can so easily manipulate the urban population to cause chaos and division, quickly imposing new mandates to gain complete control over their lives. However, I didn’t want to make this too evident in the lyrics. I still wanted the listeners to have a song they can simply jam to, whether alone in their bedroom, in the shower (where our inner rock star comes out), at the gym, or on an epic road trip with friends. I wrote something that I’d want to add to my playlist. Something that makes me feel good as a music fan. It’s easy to forget that. Ask yourself, would you add your song to your playlist? That’s when I started becoming more proud of my work. I started to enjoy the process much more, and it was exciting to delve into unknown territory, a style of music I hadn’t done much of before. How would you describe the sound and style of "City On Fire" in terms of genres? Do you usually create songs of this nature, or was this a new experience for you? I see my music sitting in the Pop/Rock world. When I’m on stage, I’m automatically drawn to the rawness of a band, the energy, and grit you can get out of a rock performance while keeping those hypnotic, catchy pop hooks. A healthy mix of Imagine Dragons and Harry Styles. Being in LA opened me up to this world. Collaborating daily with new artists, writers, and producers makes it much easier to identify what sits right with you as an artist. I had time to figure that out and ensure I was ready and confident with my sound. Many people say you must find your lane and stick to it, but I disagree. I can’t wait to show people the different sounds I’ve been experimenting with. No, the 4th song won’t be identical to the first, and yes, the next EP/Album might be completely different. But it’ll always be me, my honest take on songwriting, and the emotion will always remain. City On Fire was the perfect “here we go” moment. Big and anthemic. But I can’t wait to take people on a journey - I have so much I want to say. Did you work alongside any artists or producers when crafting the powerful instrumentals and production for "City On Fire"? What were those collaborations like? I met both Jonathan Bluth and Vincent Ott in LA. Jonathan has a way of creating such a safe space in sessions. It’s always such a lovely time—always filled with laughter. We always speak the truth, which can often be the best therapy session. You learn so much about yourself and others in six hours of sitting down and writing a song. Working with Vincent was easy—he’s a great producer and musician. He quickly turned my vision into something epic! On a more personal note, what was the highlight of creating "City On Fire?" What part of the process did you enjoy the most? The highlight of creating this song has to be a mix of all the above. The fact that it’s become my first release makes it more unique and special. If only every session would go as smoothly as this one did! Instagram Facebook

Los Angeles-based instrumental project and "Electrojazz" band Vatomico sweeten our speakers with their newest groovy release, "Fantabulous." Vatomico, comprised of musicians who met at jazz events, through mutual friends, and social media, formed in 2018 over their shared love of funky jazz. Since their inception, the band has been playing in sync as if performing with each other their entire careers. Their unique fusion of funk, mambo, and jazz isn't something to miss. Now, bringing it to the masses with their latest single, "Fantabulous," this new track is a comprehensive, insanely groovy, and complex combination of various sounds and genres to create something truly memorable. It's the perfect introduction to Vatomico's dynamic sound...so let's dive in. "Fantabulous" opens with a funk groove from the 70s with funkalicious drum loops, sweet keys, plucky guitars, and wicked basslines. Right from the bat, Vatomico sets the tone with a killer groove that makes you want to swing your body and move your feet. With subtle transitions, hypnotic piano solos, and sweet electric guitar licks, this instrumental banger will surely please anyone with rhythm. While maintaining the initial groove and swing, Vatomico has no problem switching up the vibe with incredible transitions, sinking deeper into a mysterious tone that adds a layer of depth to the track. As they head toward the outro with lush saxophone solos alongside their tight-knit instrumentals, Vatomico ends this song on a note of passion, confidence, and letting the good times roll. It doesn't get much better than instrumentals that tell a story. And that's precisely what you get with Vatomico's discography and their latest single, "Fantabulous." Find the new song on all digital streaming platforms. Your recent single "Fantabulous" is insanely groovy. What inspired you to create this sort of vibe and atmosphere? I have been working with different types of loops and samples. I have been trying to create an atmosphere that blends electronic music with jazz, and occasionally cumbia and mambo, in a more urban way. This time, I wanted to go a little bit more organic and expand on the territories of the key-bass. "Fantabulous" features an eclectic mix of genres. What was your band's creative process behind blending these genres into this vibrant piece? First, I started experimenting with the groove. I started jamming over the drums with the bass guitar, but I didn’t like where it was going; I didn’t want anything too elaborate or complex. Then I switched to the key bass, and things started to take shape. The key bass made me play more straightforward to get the full effect and feel of the key bass, and that took me to the simple yet hypnotic bassline. Once I concreted the foundation, the other elements came on board. The transitions within "Fantabulous" are pristine. How do you approach creating these dynamic transitions without losing the song's cohesive groove? Since I know from the beginning that the piece is not going to have major chord changes (because intentionally, that’s how I’m planning it), then I have to think of options to give ways for the song to breathe, refresh, and regenerate. I can transition through different parts without losing the song's cohesive groove. Since "Fantabulous" is an instrumental, how did you create the song to ensure it tells a story without a single lyric? What's your formula for sonic storytelling? A lot of it comes from the different musicians who contribute to recording every track. For example, Nick Gomez ngomezmusic@instagram.com has been helping for some time now, and every time he collaborates, unexpected and great things come up. For Fantabulous, I had the opportunity to count on a couple of musicians from Mexico with whom I had been wanting to work for some time. They are Aldo Max (aldomax@instagram.com) on keys and Paquito Gomez (paquito_gomez@instagram.com) on saxophone; both from the band Los Musicos De Jose (musicosdejose@instagram.com). This time, they were responsible for weaving those cohesive dialogues through the song with their instruments. What was your band's favorite part about creating "Fantabulous?" What was the highlight? My favorite part about creating "Fantabulous" was definitely collaborating with these different musicians and seeing how this piece took off and grew into what it became. It is such a rewarding feeling to collaborate with people who can understand the direction you are going in, vibe with your vision, and want to contribute to it. Instagram
