Thanks for joining us to talk about your single, "Everywhere." What was one major lesson you learned from writing this particular song? This song really was my “moving on” song. It was the last song that I wrote from a broken heart. After finishing the song and hearing its release, I have finally let go of some hurt. So, I learned through this song, that healing takes time and is okay, and music has the power to heal. Can you share more about the creative process for "Everywhere" and what brought about the inspiration for the song? I wrote this from my feelings of loss after a break-up, and I was just expressing how hard it was to move on when everywhere I look, I see his face. I see the streets we used to walk down every day, the friends we used to share, everywhere I look it was so hard not to see him. As for my process, I wrote it at home on my keyboard after looking through some old pictures of us on my phone. Then I had a phrase in my mind that I couldn’t get out of my head. So, I went to my keyboard and started creating the melody that I felt at that moment. As I played, the words came. After I finished the song, I sent it to my co-writers at Off the Row, Erin McCaffrey, and Sarah Morey. They added their thoughts. We began collaborating on making it better. When we were all satisfied and in agreement, it was done What were you hoping your audience would take away from "Everywhere" after listening to it for the first time? I always hope my audience feels that they are not alone, and time will heal. When you get out of a relationship and you’re not over the relationship right away. It’s okay to let yourself cry and feel the pain. Eventually, the memories of that person will no longer hurt but, you will genuinely be able to look at them and wish them the best. Your voice is incredibly thorough, nuanced, and seasoned. Was this something that came naturally to you or was it crafted over time? I have always loved to sing since the time I was little. I came from a musical family and was always encouraged to sing. When I was twelve years old, I began to sing at my church. This prompted me to continue to want to grow as a vocalist. So, I continually work towards training my voice on my own through practice and study of vocal techniques that I find online. What's next for you? I have two more songs that will be released in the next couple of months. I, hopefully, will be working towards recording an EP this year. Also, I want to start pursuing opportunities for more live performances and just see where the music takes me. Instagram TikTok

House of Idol Hands is the brainchild of Solomon Murphy and Marie Lewis, a Los Angeles-based husband and wife duo who weave dream pop, ambient, and electronic sounds together to explore the fringes of the sonic sanctum and usher listeners into a shared dreamscape. Releasing their 2022 E.P titled 'Opaque,' we get to bask in the atmospheric realm of the fifth song on the tracklist, "The Others." Reverberated drum hits spark up a sense of anticipation as the almost ethereal timbres caress your mind with the hunger to grow with this dreamscape. Carrying forth harmonies that shimmer in the dark essence of "The Others," we're drawn into the mesmerizing tenors that further pull us into being one with this masterpiece. Utilizing a brilliant sense of timing through the composition, we get a perfectly balanced sonic cocktail that leaves us wanting more with each lyrical motif that dangles us to the next. Poetic and abstract with the carefully curated wording sprinkled upon this track, lyrics like "There are the others, under star-spangled skies. Encircled by obelisks of stone, locked from the inside," have us hanging onto the edge of our seat as we explore the depths of House of Idol Hands. Taking us into their embrace and shedding the wisdom of their world with their audience, it's rather uncanny just how dominant the kaleidoscope of imagery is that sits in our minds. So, if you're looking to expand your horizons and take in the irresistible sounds of House of Idol Hands, we suggest that you start with their E.P' Opaque' and all it has to offer. Welcome to BuzzMusic, House of Idol Hands. We love the atmosphere that you've crafted in your song "The Others." Could you please share a glimpse into what inspired the creation of this song? We see writing songs as a form of world-building, so whenever we start writing a song, we ask ourselves the question “What does this world look like, feel like, and how can we paint a visual picture for the listener using only sounds and words”. For The Others, we drew inspiration from a lot of non-musical media including Kay Nielsen’s artwork, Miyazaki’s films, and the poem “Enter This Deserted House” by Shel Silverstein. We wanted to make the listener feel like they were traveling through woods that were shrouded in folklore. Woods that legends say spirits once dwelled in. You convince yourself that the specters you see are just your imagination, but as you venture deeper into the woods, it becomes more apparent and finally, aggressively undeniable. How does "The Others" tie into the overall concept of 'Opaque?' What's your reasoning behind making this track the lead single from the project? Opaque is an exploration of the mutual enchantment we share for dark whimsy. We wanted to create a bit of an epic tale like those that we are often inspired by. The Others is really the long journey of the album. It slowly pulls the listener in with a steady marching build-up and then blooms into a wide and distorted finale. After reaching the proverbial top of the mountain at the end of the song, the listener is guided softly out of the album experience through the two more experimental and meditative closing songs. The Others is not the final track on Opaque, but it is certainly the apex before the exit. We love the abstract lyricism that's used in this particular piece. Is this always how the lyrics are approached in your creations? A good rule of thumb for us is that once the lyrics read like they were lifted from an ancient manuscript, we know we are onto something. We often subscribe to the David Bowie way of writing music; write anything you can, put the words on strips of paper, then arrange as desired. Songwriting becomes a puzzle that you need to put together, but this particular puzzle has no box with the final results on it! You just keep mixing things up until, boom, it all seems to click and the precession of words and meaning just fall into place. What's your mission statement as House of Idol Hands? We are both lovers of dream pop, ambient, electronica, and folk music. We’re always seeking to distill our favorite elements of these musical styles and fuse them into something new that feels like home to us. We want to whisk the listener away to the vespertine dreamscape that is House of IdolHands. Instagram Artist Website

Los Angeles-based r&b recording artist and singer-songwriter Holiday highlights the stunning second track, "Who am I," off his recent 3-track EP, 'Toxic Adulations.' Holiday is able to write music that's relatable to the listener by drawing from former flames; this entire process is pure cathartic therapy for the young recording artist. Holiday prides himself on his lyrical mastery, helping us get to know his every way through his biographical, vulnerable, and authentic words. Holiday's new hit, "Who am I," is the mid-way point of his latest 3-track EP, 'Toxic Adulations,' and this song is the perfect representation of the toxic habits we can build with age. This song captures it all, from turbulent love to intrusive thoughts, while Holiday opens his heart and lets his lingering thoughts be heard in the smoothest and most delicate way. Acquainting ourselves with "Who am I," the piece gently opens with a serene string section, tender piano melodies, and Holiday's soft, melodic vocals. As the singer-songwriter begins to ride the soulful, rhythmic, and down-tempo r&b beat, he lets us in on the many intrusive thoughts that idle his mind regarding the trials and tribulations of an unhealthy relationship. The song is like a page out of the artist's diary; Holiday has such a way with words that leave us chilled to the bone. As he continues displaying his tender emotions, the continuous pressure to be the best version of himself, and dissecting the difficult situation, he serenades us with the utmost soul and vulnerability until the very last second. Ride the wave of emotion that is Holiday's recent hit, "Who am I," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Holiday. We're more than impressed with the vulnerable emotion you've delivered through your recent hit, "Who am I." What inspired you to create this deeply introspective piece? "Who am I" is a self-reflection. A lot of my songs are. I couldn't pinpoint an exact situation or time in my life. But I know whatever is recorded in this song was once a feeling that I felt. I usually make songs when I feel down and I need a pick me up. This song is meant to draw in listeners and give off raw emotion. Who produced the wavy and tender sonics for "Who am I?" What vibe or atmosphere did you want this song to offer? The producer for this song is "Eros". He also produced the song "All on Film" from the same EP. He just seems to understand my vibe and sound selection. We have more work coming out this year. Whenever we link up I know a hit is on the way. The atmosphere is toxic, always toxic. Did you find it challenging to be so open when writing your vulnerable lyrics for "Who am I?" Or was it easy to let your emotions flow through your pen? I never find it hard. I find it easy to say what I'm feeling into a mic. I rarely open up to people, unless it's in a song. The hard part is making it rhyme. How does "Who am I" fit into the concept and theme of your 3-track EP, 'Toxic Adulations?' I think "Who am I" fits perfectly. This whole music journey for me has been all about self-reflection. I have received some feedback from my music and people are starting to catch on, but this started as something for me and just me. I am happy people are starting to catch on to what I am creating here. What's next for you? I am releasing a new single "Goodnight" produced by ODDZ. You can expect that to drop in February. Here is a pre-save link. I will also be releasing a visual to go along with this in March. Instagram Twitter

From Ukraine to New York City and finally Nashville, singer-songwriter and recording artist BILETSKA releases a hazy and passionate tune entitled "Obstacles." With a dream of fleeing Ukraine and making a name for herself in the United States, that vision came true for BILETSKA when she moved to New York City as a part of her university's "work and travel" program. Having studied stage performance, singing, and earning a bachelor's degree in tour management, BILETSKA was later accepted by The Voice and toured Europe with Michael Angelo Batio. Now residing in Nashville "Music City" Tennessee, BILETSKA is taking her career one step further with prominent releases like "Obstacles." The song is the perfect representation of living life with a bounty of obstacles ahead, navigating your way through the trials and tribulations of love and its long-lasting effects. Expanding on the new single, "Obstacles," the song brightly opens with chiming keyboard melodies and groovy mid-tempo drum patterns. As the heavy kick begins to pound through our speakers alongside a hazy and mysterious synth, BILETSKA makes her warm and haunting vocal appearance while expressing her thoughts on the obstacles of tragic love. "We're on the crossroads of our love and fear" is a perfect example of BILETSKA's thoughtful and compelling lyricism that paints several relatable and unsettling images in our minds. She carries a certain relentless attitude that's equally as infectious as it is motivating, allowing listeners to understand the depths of her emotion while inviting them to relate with her tender words of love and loss. Jump over your "Obstacles" with help from BILETSKA's new single, now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, BILETSKA. We're truly impressed with the depth and passion you've brought to your new single, "Obstacles." What inspired you to create this emotional piece? You know my life has not always been easy and I’ve been through a lot to become who I am right now. I would say that I’m in control of everything in my life but my emotions, I always act impulsive and express what’s within my heart, even though it’s very wrong in most cases. Obstacles are about someone abusive that makes you feel like you are on a rollercoaster all the time. It’s always extreme and you are living on the edge, minutes before your mental breakdown, but also you don’t want to live a boring life after all. What was your songwriting process like for "Obstacles?" What images or scenes did you want to offer the listener? My songwriting process always comes out of the blue. When I’m feeling a lot and need to get it out of me. Lyrics normally just pour out of me and I can write it really fast, and record melodies/progression on the voice memos. The first thing that comes to my mind is when someone is choking you and you are about to pass out, as the song goes: “leather gloves, choking rough”. Another scene would be an emotional sacrifice “but I’m still here for you, even though the pain you know I love you too” to make someone else feel better in a very dark time, but nobody does really care about how you feel. What sort of vibe or atmosphere did you want the production to give off in "Obstacles?" Who helped create the song's production? It’s kind of a dark/hopeless atmosphere mixed with some sexy vibes, don’t know how better to describe it. Chris Gill and Gavin Shea were working with me on the production for this song. They are amazing and I love working with them, in fact, we are meeting tomorrow for a new song I wrote recently, that's going to be on my EP. Do you usually release songs with mysterious, hazy, and dark undertones, similar to "Obstacles?" Is this sound la regular occurrence for you? Yes, it’s more of a regular occurrence. The next couple of songs I'm working on is also dark, sexy, but upbeat. My other mysterious/dark songs would be “Truce” and “Changes”. What's next for you? As I mentioned earlier, I’m working on new music, that's gonna be turned into an Ep. My first music video for “Changes” is coming out in mid-February. I’m very excited. I'm planning on shooting another one in March for the song that I'm recording tomorrow. After I release the ep, I’m gonna look for band members so I can finally play some live shows.

The rising alt-rock outfit from Atlanta, Atticus and Luke Roness, is known as The Corduroy Blue. They took the local scene by storm with their debut single 'Gimme Love,' and between their retro sound and the simply electric live performances, this band of brothers has their sights set far beyond that of the hometown heroes. Releasing their third single as an alluring duo, The Corduroy Blue presents us with a 70s inspired anthem titled "Wonderman." Taking in the piano-forward ballad in all of its captivating glory, there's a seamless unity when each musical element is introduced to us in this composition. The prevailing keys blend with the rhythmic essence of the uplifting grooves found in the drums and bass. Offering up a triumphant feeling to hold onto, we're rushed with a sense of nostalgia that sweeps us off our feet. Reminiscent of the sounds of legendary artists such as Billy Joel and Elton John, the authenticity that comes pouring in from this celebration of humanity is rather remarkable. It's clear to us why this is The Corduroy Blue's most impactful piece to date. Crooning us with passion-fueled timbres that gently glide into an authoritative command throughout "Wonderman," it's hard not to be drawn towards the glory found in this soundscape. Tying together the old school sounds of classic rock and rock n roll in its most recent form, The Corduroy Blue gives us all a little something to look forward to, and that's the ability to bask in the dynamism; showcased in "Wonderman." Welcome to BuzzMusic, The Corduroy Blue, and congratulations on the release of your latest single, "Wonderman." Before we dig into the nitty-gritty with this release, we have to ask: how did you two come to form The Corduroy Blue and come up with such a comforting name? The Corduroy Blue is me (Atticus Roness) and my younger brother Luke Roness. We had been playing in bands and stuff before, but we wanted to make a brand for the two of us and base it off of the rock and roll heroes of the past that we are inspired by. The name itself just came from me feeling a bunch of clothes in my closet, and I wanted our music to sound the way that the corduroy felt. Blue is just my favorite color! When it comes to "Wonderman," what moment or story inspired the creation of this record? Did the vision come to life exactly how you imagined it to? "Wonderman" is an interesting case, as most of these songs of ours so far are from a kind of 3rd person perspective; in that, I (Atticus) wasn’t currently going through a lot of the stuff the songs are talking about, but Wonderman was very different. I just got sad one morning, no real reason. It was just how I was feeling, and I just started hammering the G chord on the piano, which starts the song and is the main piece of the verse and sing-along part. That song was just about cheering myself up, and calling myself the ‘wonderment’ just made me feel good. Like Elton John (Rocket Man), Billy Joel (Piano Man), or Bowie (Star Man), I wanted to just give myself a rock n’ roll nickname I guess haha. The tune came alive way better in the studio than we anticipated because it is such an audience participation song, so I think we are really happy with it. What does this song mean to you both as the creators? What message would you like your audience to take away from it when consuming this piece? I kind of answered this with #2, but to expand, I want the song to instill hope in people. Not in a cheesy way, but in a “when no one’s around, applaud yourself’ kind of way. I think the cover art one by the brilliant Aidan Lyerly also helps that message come across more as introspective rather than tacky which was the purpose. What has been the best piece of advice you've been given throughout your music career? We have been given lots of great advice over the years, I mean a big one for us is the idea that the music business, and the recording industry at large if it’s something you truly want, is attainable. A producer told us that if you work hard and smart, the dream is not in the clouds, it's more like a mountain. Mountains have peaked, naturally, they’re finite then. So just keep working and writing and getting better, and we will hit the dream, whatever that looks like. What's next for you? On a short-term scale, we are gonna put out this single, play some great shows with some great artists, but our big thing this year is to finally record a debut album. We feel like we have the songs, the message, and the means, so why not make a statement? Instagram Twitter

Go and show Brando AR’s standout EP 'HighSight 2021' some much-deserved love, available on all streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Brando AR! We are so happy to have you here and want to congratulate you on the great work you’ve done throughout your EP 'HighSight 2021.' Can you tell us a bit more about a few of your inspirations when creating this project? First and foremost thank you for your interest in my project, I'm truly humbled. I would say consistency was the main inspiration of this EP. I've spent all of 2021 creating music, both writing and honing my craft as a producer. The end of the year came fast and we hadn't released any material besides some visuals from a project I dropped at the end of 2020. I personally felt the need to have some kind of a release in 2021, even if it was New Year's Eve. It technically counts right? We made the decision to drop this EP about 2-3 weeks before we released it. Normally we wouldn't rush something like this but as I said I wanted that 2021 release plus I had so much content it made sense to pull the trigger to release it. That was the actual inspiration for the title. We picked songs that we felt summed up my year as an artist/producer. Did you face any challenges or roadblocks throughout the writing or recording process of 'HighSight 2021?' I didn't have any challenges really. All the songs came organically, no crazy thought or time was put into the creation. It was a normal process of creating music. When I wrote each song it wasn't with the intention of going on this project with the exception of "Guard Your Vision" the last track. I produced that one for the EP specifically, the other tracks were done throughout the year. Did you have a specific idea in mind of you who hoped this EP would resonate with the most? What do you hope listeners will take away from the project as a whole while listening? I didn't have a specific demographic in mind when creating this project. I feel like in general, the music I make is pretty diverse which suits all walks of life, so I tried to embody that with this effort. There are tracks you can work out or party to, as well as tracks you can chill and smoke to. If you like lyricism, catchy hooks and hard beats it's got that as well. There are very distinct production elements that carry on throughout the EP, blending the project together really well and supporting your vocals throughout each song. Did you have an idea of the kind of atmosphere you wanted the instrumentals and production to give off in 'HighSight 2021' when you began writing the project? With the exception of the last track "Guard Your Vision" all the other songs were already complete prior to the "idea" of the project. I had visuals shot to "150 Sheets" and "Oh Well" directed by Matthew Scott of AR Film House, which we planned on releasing as singles. When deciding to put out this EP those 2 were easy picks because we had already shot the videos and they played well off of each other. "Wake Up" was the first song off the project that I actually recorded. From the time I did it, my business partner, Relz Reliano said it would be a dope intro for an album. Keeping that in mind, that's how we started it off. The tempo and energy on "Wake Up" is much higher and more aggressive than "150 Sheets" and "Oh Well" so I needed to offset it with another high energy record so we added "Status" produced by Dj Skillz B out of London. This was another track we were sitting on for a minute but always felt like when we released it, it would get some great responses. And it has, it seems to be one of the crowd favorites so far. "Guard Your Vision" I actually produced with the idea of the EP in mind which represents me and where I come from hence how I was inspired to create it plus I also wanted to wrap up the EP with a nice wind-down track you can vibe to. I made the tracklist to be almost like a rollercoaster ride of emotions throughout the journey. What's next for you? I have a lot going on at the moment actually. As I said we spend all of 2021 creating so 2022 it all comes out! The goal is to release an EP along with visuals every month through our label America's Reality Entertainment/A.R. FilmHouse. I'm also producing projects for label-mates as well as other international artists around the world. To sum it all up I want my 2022' to be full of consistency, creativity & substance. Thank You to all of Y'all at "Buzz Music" for the Love & Support. Instagram Twitter

Alternative Rock duo WØLFDARLING has done it again, creating a dynamic yet intimate new track that is sure to leave you wanting more. Hailing from Detroit, MI, these brothers have joined forces in their latest dynamic single, "send the sun my way," following their already very well-received song, "chemical violence." WØLFDARLING is made up of Sam Urich (guitar, piano, and vocals) and Jack Urich (bass). "send the sun my way" was recorded at Pearl Sound Studios in Canton, MI, with the help of producer Chuck Alkazian (Pop Evil, Soundgarden, Tantric) and Jason Hartless on drums. Written when they were in high school, "send the sun my way" is a story of navigating the mental health battles that Sam was facing at the time. Yet, despite grappling with themes of darkness and pain, the song manages to remain uplifting. Sam notes, "Essentially, the song is a love letter to the sun…A poem to remind us that we are brave, we are mighty, and we are beloved." We applaud WØLFDARLING for letting us in on this vulnerable and emotional journey and are incredibly inspired by what they've managed to create with "send the sun my way." "send the sun my way" opens with a beautiful guitar riff, as listeners ease into a trance-like state. As Sam's vocals enter the soundscape like the sun rising in the east, placed front and center within the alt-rock soundscape. His delivery is powerful yet intimate all at once, allowing the listener to fully understand his harmonious message. He demonstrates extreme vocal range throughout the track, leaving us enamored with his dynamic delivery and buttery timbre. Intimate acoustic guitar sections transition into rich soundscapes throughout the track, incorporating drums, slick bass lines, heavenly keys, charged electric guitars, and stacked harmonies. WØLFDARLING has created an extremely dynamic and engaging sonic soundstage, filled with energy and prowess that allows the listener to fully immerse themselves within the production until the last second. Go and show some love to WØLFDARLING and their latest single, "send the sun my way." Welcome to BuzzMusic, WØLFDARLING, and congratulations on your latest release “send the sun my way." We are really captivated by the vulnerability you express within the track. Was it challenging to write about and share such a personal experience? Thank you for the warm welcome. We are thrilled to have the chance to speak with you! Yes, this song is definitely a deep bleed, but these darker emotions are an inexhaustible well of inspiration for me. To answer your question, no, it is not a challenge to share my experiences with my listeners. The challenge lies in finding the right words and sounds to tell the story. Nothing is as visceral to me as an artist pouring out their guts for everyone to see, whether that be over sound waves or on a canvas. It is scary, and you are stunned by the experience, but trust me, when you look into the eyes of your shadow, you see that it just wants to be held, to be heard. Only then can it heal. I want my listeners to know that it is okay to hurt and that this is an opportunity to practice unconditional love and kindness. Be vulnerable. You will find that it brings those around you even closer, drawn to your fearlessness. We love that you are brothers who collaborate to make such incredible songs together. Can you tell us a bit more about growing up creating music as a team, and what sparked this process? Since we are not Carolingian princes murdering each other for our father’s crown, it was actually a very fair idea to embark upon this path together. No one will be as loyal to you as your own kin. We both believe in these songs, with all our hearts. Ego is the band-killer, but here, we are brothers and we only want bliss for each other. So there is no hostility stemming from “who has the spotlight” or whatever. Jack’s victories are mine and mine his. He's my younger brother. So there is an instinctive function to provide for and protect. Though honestly, Jack is built like an Olympian, so I would advise not trying anything anyway…We grew in a musical family. My mother has been singing since she first carried me home as a doughy bundle in her arms. Her three brothers have been making music since their teens, and my father has as well. Music was always around us. I was gifted a strat for my 13th birthday, and have not stopped playing. Jack grabbed the bass only several years ago, which speaks to our amazement at his prowess. I will bring melodies and lyrics to Jack, and he and I will begin to take it to the next level with bass and additional vocals/harmonies. Our longtime friend and drummer, Harrison Long, will then swing by and throw down some beats, and we will workshop everything until we have something we enjoy, and really just dig playing. Jack, Harri, and I all swim in the same lake of sound, but we each have different focuses. So when we come together, we have all these lovely, complimentary sound influences that blend into what you hear on Spotify now. Did you have a specific idea in mind of you what listeners would take away from the track when hearing it for the first time? Hearing the track for the first time, I just want listeners to enjoy the sound. And if certain lyrics immediately catch them, I am stoked. But I find it important, for that first listen, that people are simply struck by what they feel in their bones. The following listens can provide a better grasp of the lyrics and arc of the song. But the sound is primal and universal, so if my songs are being played for someone who doesn’t speak English, but still dances to the sound, then I know I have accomplished my goal. Enjoy the track. That is most important. I hope that my songs help speak for those of us who do suffer and at the same time, cultivate brightness and hope. I call our sound optimistic emo for a reason. Yeah we are broody, and sure I cry more easily than most, but I never stop believing in a new sun, new dawn, to haste the fear away. And it is my hope that my songs convey this. Did you have a vision for the production of the track when you initially wrote it? How did producer Chuck Alkazian help you bring it to life? For “send the sun my way” I knew I wanted it more on the folky, ambient side. A cooling river of sound to gently carry you. So finding the right tones was critical. Chuck was able to help us discover them, with his vault of sounds, and keep the track delicate but also give it the strength it needed to keep listeners swaying throughout. Chuck has been at this many years, so he was a steady guide in suggesting which way we should pull the reins of this sonic steed. I also want to take this chance to thank Jason Hartless for tracking the drums on “send the sun my way.” Hyper talented fellow and super fun to work with. We are grateful men. What's next for you? What’s next!? We are only just setting out. We haven’t even left the Shire yet! We have another single on the way, launching sometime in the coming month(s), and from there we will be back in the studio crafting new sound potions. Depending on our availability and where the current global situation steers, we intend to return to the stage for live performances. Jack and I are at University, and Harrison has a grown-man job, so it is a balancing act when it comes to live shows. But we intend to fill the books as we stride into 2022. I will also leave you with this. WØLFDARLING is currently creating a short film saga that will accompany our music. This will be a visual narrative that follows an original storyline. It will be another way for our listeners to connect with our world, by having the ability to actually experience it both audibly and visually. We are hyped! Instagram Facebook

Serenading us from Salt Lake City, Utah, is a singer-songwriter and hip-hop, r&b, Afrobeat recording artist Obeeyay with his latest anthemic single, "Let'm Know." The 25-year-old songwriter enhanced his artistic skillset while working alongside the likes of Brandy, Queen Latifa, and Jojo. After moving to Los Angeles and broadening his creative horizons even further, Obeeyay moved back to his native state Utah and blossomed his solo career with hits like his remake of Sunflower from the Blockbuster Spiderman film, "Into the Spider-Verse." You can hear Obeeyay's love for hip-hop, Afrobeat, and r&b shine through in one cohesive mix through his latest single, "Let'm Know." The song emits this sense of power and confidence that's equally matched with Obeeyay's passionate vocals. Expanding on the new single, "Let'm Know," we're met with a pulsating synth that waves a feeling of 00s r&b nostalgia over our speakers. As the slow and poised drums begin to tap in alongside Obeeyay's melodic vocal appearance, we shift into the exciting prehook where we get to know the range of Obeeyay's sound as he moves into a quick rap. Dropping into the hook, Obeeyay grooves his way alongside the song's powerful and dreamy sonics, letting us sing along with his catchy and empowering lyrics. Before we know it, he makes his confident vocal appearance that keeps our heads bopping with a rhythmic, charismatic flow and braggadocious energy. Obeeyay takes us around the hook one last time to close the song with an anthemic outro. Don't be shy, "Let'm Know," and check out Obeeyay's latest single, now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Obeeyay. We love the energy and empowering feel of your latest single, "Let'm Know." What inspired you to create this anthem of success? THANK YOU BUZZMUSIC! Really whatever I create has to do with what I am feeling at the time. I had recently moved back to LA with a dream and a goal to take over, and that was at the forefront of my mind when I wrote: "Let’m Know." Honestly, I just wanted to write a song for the ones hustling to be champions, looking to dethrone and be at the top at whatever they do. This world can get you down when you forget who you are, so this is just a reminder to the underdogs to never give up. Do you usually create rather motivational and high-energy tracks like "Let'm Know?" It depends, I love to inspire, but I also love to love. So a lot of my music is a mixture of past relationships and a hustling mentality. A good time is a goal when I write my music. I want people to join the fun, wherever they are, whatever walk of life. Just to hit the party or play ball to this music, both work. What was it like working with veteran rapper King Los for "Winnin?" Was that your first time collaborating with him? It was dope! He brought so much, blessed the track with his vocals. To witness how effortless it was for him to come up with brilliance just blows my mind. He is very passionate and very certain about his music and knows what he likes. The first time I worked with him was as an audio engineer for one of his recording sessions, we were able to generate a vibe, and soon after I asked him to hop on the track, he agreed, spoke good things about the record too. I hope we work on a song again. Does "Let'm Know" represent how you plan on taking 2022, seeing that it's your first release of the year? Absolutely. This is my year, and the year after that too. I want to set the tone right, I love to be my biggest fan. And I am glad that fans are reacting so well to this song because that’s what I want more than anything, is for people to relate on a deeper level with this song, whatever that means to them, and use it as fuel.

Orange Animal, the Ohio-based three-some who create, 'rock and roll made for CD's,' has kicked off 2022 with a bang as they introduce their latest single, "Battleship." Comprised of John Ramsey (guitar & vocals), Bill Derivan (bass), and Adam Thurman (drums), Orange Animal has been together since 2017 and has managed to gain fans from all walks of life with its catchy hooks and clever lyrics. Never straying from the formula that has garnered them the attention they deserve, "Battleship" instills an electric sense of life into the lot of us all while delivering a timeless piece of melodic energy. Recorded by John Ramsey and mixed and mastered by Jason Reminger, we hear how Orange Animal plays into classic rock n roll roots, and we can't help but shake the immediate submersion in a pool of nostalgia. Orange Animal structures its songs in a way that brings in a flood of memories while producing a quality record that holds up in today's wave of technology. "Battleship" will have you fixated on the mesmerizing hold it has on you while you tap your fingers and toes to the beat. With smoldering vocals that echo in a reverberation chamber of excellence, you get everything from shredding guitar solos, hypnotic percussion that grooves impeccably with the bass, and of course, the type of unison that shows Orange Animal working like a well-oiled musical machine. As Orange Animal diligently works to finish up their forthcoming album, 'Donut Shopping,' we suggest that you take in this dose of reminiscent tunes as you revisit the edgy amplification of "Battleship." Congratulations on the release of "Battleship." We love how you tap into the core of rock n roll with this record. What was the exact moment or story that inspired the creation of this song? ​ "Battleship" came into existence from three things: My Les Paul, my wah, and my Friedman amp. It was a simple set of ingredients but it all just felt right. What meaning does "Battleship" hold to you? What are you hoping your audience takes away from the release? ​ "Battleship" is a rock and roll song pure and simple. So far, we've played it out about five times, and every time it gets the response that echos how I felt when writing it- just raw music. Nothing fancy. It tells the story of two mad lovers constantly going in and out of a beautiful disfunction. I originally called it "A Thousand Times, A Thousand Miles" but changed the title when we were trying to put it together as a band. We were calling out the notes and measure changes, and it ended up sounding like we were playing a game of battleship. So for fun, we stayed with the name. What does your audience have in store with your forthcoming album, 'Donut Shopping?' Could you please share some concepts or sounds that we can anticipate? ​The title, 'Donut Shopping,' came from my then three-year-old son. His joy and excitement about "shopping" for donuts one morning just captured how I was feeling about music and being cooped up for such a long time. I was writing an eclectic mixture of songs for a party of one. So with this album, you will find varying styles and compositions. But they all came from the same place and time. In your own words, what does creating mean to you as a band? ​ Creating music is an unmistakable friendship. It has its laughs and jabs but also has these magic moments that are so rare and special. What's next for you? ​ The release of 'Donut Shopping' is likely in May and hopefully more shows in cities around the country. There is really nothing that compares to finding and meeting people with whom you get to share your music. Instagram Facebook
