As the instrumentation dances upon your mind, you have no choice but to submit to the elusiveness that naturally fits this sonic venture. Hearing Cinthia Rivas’ musical inspirations of H.E.R., Jhene Aiko, and Doja Cat speak into her creations. She manages to pull pieces of influential material from these artists while creating a sound that is a signature to who she is as a creator. Amplifying our sound waves in the best way possible, the Lo-fi essence of “Emociones” heightens our senses and releases us into a euphoric bliss that we’ll gladly own up to. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Cinthia Rivas. Congratulations on the release of your latest single, "Emociones." We adore the intimate wave of vulnerability that comes flooding through our speakers. Do you always create songs with such expressive lyrics? Thank you. I get my lyrics through inspiration from what I experienced in my life. I try to do my best in making sure that the listeners can relate to them, feel what I feel in that moment. Was there a moment or story that inspired the creation of this song? Could you please give us some insight into how this brought "Emociones" to life? Yes. I have been having some rough times with my emotions- with my self-esteem and my ups and downs, but I can't give up on myself. I need to work on them, look on the brighter side. That's is what the song is about. What has it been like working with Lit Honey Productions? How did this union come to be? It's been an amazing experience for me. Dan and Viktoria with LHP are always helpful and kind; since it's my first time, they give me advice in making better music. It was always my dream to sing, perform, and make music, and so I decided to look for someone who could help me accomplish it. I began to search online and came across Lit Honey Productions, and I was able to talk to Dan on the phone about what I would like to accomplish, and from then on, they have been and continue to be a blessing. What is your mission statement as an artist? How do you make sure that's grasped through every piece of music that you create? Music is a window to expressing who you are, to feel, to express love, and to be true to yourself. What's next for you? To make sure it's grasped in my music, by having the beat/instrumental go with the feeling that I'm trying to portray as well as the lyrics. Instagram

Singer-songwriter, and producer Cristal B., hails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with a passion for music and the art of performing. She would spend her time in choir, performing in musicals, and singing at local events from a young age. Then, at the age of 13, she picked up a guitar and taught herself how to play, using Taylor Swift as inspiration to transition that into songwriting. Spending her days fighting on the frontline as a nurse, it was the pandemic that brought her back to her passion for music. Using music as an outlet for her mounting stress and anxiety, she decides to take a chance on herself. Propelling through the scene with her second single release to date, "Broken Heroes," allows Cristal B. to indulge herself in the deeper perspective that she has struggled to collect properly for the past year and a half. Commencing with golden horn notes and soft keys performed through this composition, the musical arrangement has us embracing an elusive essence that brings a liberating feel to the lyrics poetically strung together. Minimalism is a key factor that allows Cristal B.'s tender vocalization to reside at the forefront of the captivating piece. Unveiling a series of emotions that have lived inside Cristal B. for the duration of the pandemic. We hear how she blends her universes of music and nursing as the worlds collide to show how the healthcare heroes have been suffering through these times. The exact sentiments trickle into our speakers as the tantalizing croons take on a prevailing mask in lyrical motifs such as 'We are the champions of a world that's falling to pieces, we are the broken heroes amounting to nothing but screaming into the void.' With a well-deserved stance on the state of the world and a desire to let her voice be heard. Nothing is standing in the way of Cristal B. as she charismatically lets out screams for better days ahead. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Cristal B.! We admire you opening up about your struggles on the frontline and blending that into the music you create. What was the breaking moment for you that allowed you to shift your emotions to make this song? Thank you, I appreciate that. I always want to make music that is honest and real. When the pandemic started, my anxiety got the best of me. Even though my experience wasn't' nearly as challenging as for other nurses, I was still really struggling. I didn'twasn't know how to cope with how overwhelmed I felt all the time. At that point, I hadn't written a song in several years. It wasn't until I started writing songs again in May of 2020 that I found some peace. Through making music, I found my voice again. I found a way to talk about what I was dealing with and a way to process life. "wasn'tBroken Heroes" resulted from that. It felt like no one was talking about how mentally and emotionally taxing those first few months of the pandemic had been. The phrase "that healthcare hero "B's "would get tossed around constantly, but I felt like the opposite in reality. I felt burned out, alone, and a little broken. This song was born of a combination of sorrow and the tiny bit of hope that sprouted in me when I realized that we might be going through hell, but we're all in it together. Being you're "second single released, what noticeable similarities and differences have the creative and release processes been? With "My Therapist," "that the song came together really fast. It felt like an extension of myself, and I knew exactly what I wanted the song to sound like from the day it was written. I took more time to promote that one than I did" broken Heroe" because I was genuinely afraid that no one would listen to it. Thankfully it was well-re Unfortunately, lived." "Broken Heroe" was the opposite. I wrote that song back in September of 2020 and would come back knows every, so oI didn't Ididn'tt know what to do with music. The song felt special to me from day one, so it was hard to move forward with iI didn't I didn't want to meet wasn't It wasn't until this summer that I finally did the production on it. Things had started getting horrible again, hospital and its reign, ted that fire in me to put"HeroesnHeroeshe "out into the world. What do you hope your audience can reflect on when taking "Broken Heroes" to its full extent? I hope that when people listen to "Broken Heroes," they feel understood and comforted, knowing they're not alone in their feelings. This past almost two years have been traumatic for so many. But, I want my listeners to know they don't have to go through it by themselves. We're stronger together, even when we're apart. As someone embracing their artistic side while being a healthcare hero, what has been your biggest takeaway from the pandemic and finding your love for music again? My biggest takeaway is that it's important to prioritize my mental health just as much as my physical health. For me, making music is like a form of therapy, and it has made an enormous difference in managing my anxiety. The moment I started doing the thing I love most again, I saw a significant shift in myself. The pandemic has been a stark reminder that life is too short not to do the things you love with the people you love. Instagram

Ilford, Essex, UK, is home to the one-man band known as Dread Fury. The singer-songwriter immaculately creates an invisible band that submerges listeners in infectious grooves as he makes it nearly impossible to not want to dance to his musical creations. A multi-instrumentalist, Dread Fury has built a reputation as an exciting live act, performing as a one-man band in open mics and gigs in venues such as The Dublin Castle and The Mildmay Club. His vibrant performances are loaded with plenty of grooves, impressing watchers and earning him acclaim amongst his peers. Handling all production duties on his own as well, the end result of his most recent release is an EP that tells a story both lyrically and sonically. Catching our eye with the sonic and visual pairing of “I Think of You,” the Neo-Soul creations has us delving into a myriad of emotions as we take it to its full potential. Black and white footage fills the screen as moments of love and adoration seize memories that the lyrical motifs touch on. Propelling a falsetto that lingers in our mind, we follow the raw melodies as the filmic component transitions through what happens when a loved one is no longer around to the darkest of its extent. Admiring, what seems to be, the heartfelt story as it unveils itself in an expression of reality, we see how love can truly knock you off your feet when it takes over your very being; but this time it’s not all sunshine and rainbows. The use of split frames gives us the feel of the back and forth emotions that the protagonist explores as he runs through these obsessive emotions when he doesn’t get what he wants with his love interest. Pulling us deeper into the storyline as things aren’t always how they appear, these toxic behaviors take a turn for the worse as his obsession overpowers him, and ultimately scares off the one he wanted to spend his life with. In an attempt to escape, Dread Fury acting as the protagonist catches up to her, and an entirely new theme of domestic violence is touched on as he unleashes his true colors. Widening our eyes to the dangers of manic fixation, we grasp the undeniable storytelling techniques that the emerging artist masters. Allowing us to be invested in a piece as powerful as such. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Dread Fury, and congratulations on releasing the music video for “I Think of You.” With such an out-of-the-box theme showcased in the visuals, what moment or story inspired this concept? Thanks for having me back, and thanks for the congratulations on the video. Working with a professional photographer, Martin Petty (who directed the video) inspired the video. In the UK, there has been an alarming rise in violence against women. The murders of Sarah Everard and Sabina Nessa, in particular, were shocking to the point we felt we had to make a video that highlighted this issue. It’s great that, compared to my other videos, we have pretty powerful and tell a story. It was also great to get Ronnie Morato (the girlfriend) involved to bring some realness to the video. How does “I Think of You” compare to the other songs heard on your EP? What would you like this song to say about you as an artist? Stylistically, it is probably the most romantic song in a strange way. The protagonist longs to be loved and to know where he stands, and eventually, it gets to a point where it almost sounds like he is obsessed. This is a point hammered home by the music video, except that the protagonist has gone beyond the end of obsession to just being a nasty, controlling individual. Compared to the other songs, it’s the most intense track on the EP, yet it is done without going too hard musically. I wrote the song as a love song, but complex, so I hope this shows I can write without being too simple or too soft. In your own words, what is the central concept and messaging that you hope listeners can take away from this project? In regards to the video, I want people to be aware of domestic violence and violence against women. I want people to be able to have these conversations on how we can prevent this in the future and what we (men) can do to be better allies to women. I hope that victims of domestic violence get the support needed. As far as the EP is concerned, I’ve been blown away by the response from people who’ve listened to it and bought it. I hope the video for “I Think Of You” will also bring people to check out the EP and to feel they always have a voice. What is your mission statement as an artist? How do you allow that to speak into your music? I write and create music to express myself in the best way that I see fit. I like to tell stories that come from deep in my mind and my life experience, if possible. I like to be as real to me as possible, and that shows in the eclectic nature of my music. The fact that I could create the EP in my own bedroom and it being well-received has given me joy I couldn’t describe. I don’t care about writing and releasing music for hype and boosting numbers. I like to create art to make me feel good or bring awareness to particular issues, and if that passes on to anyone listening or watching, then mission accomplished. I enjoy being independent musically and hope it stays that way. What can we anticipate hearing next? I’m working on some new music. Most likely, it will be a double album. I’m not a fan of the current trend of just releasing singles on Spotify, hoping something will catch. Albums tell stories, and nowadays, it seems that’s become a lost art. You get one life. Make your mark. So there will be a new album at some point within the next couple of years. There will be a mixture of soul, blues, hip-hop, rock, funk, etc. Watch this space. Instagram Facebook

During the quarantine, Brian Buckley was compelled to complete a solo album. Comprising songs that lived a universe away from the safety blanket he felt with his brothers in the band. Since 2007' 'For Her', having not released any material alone, he reached out to BBB's longtime producer, Johannes Raassina. Working safely and remotely, they finished this new record, entitled 'COLOR,' and are finally thrilled to share it with the world. One song, in particular, has caught our attention with the bold and cinematic feel it instills. "A Thousand Times" exhibits a myriad of musical elements that tiptoe between futuristic and heartfelt hues as it blasts off into a significantly memorable soundscape. A true sonic destination unfolding right before us, the storytelling components unveil themselves in both the lyrical motifs and instrumentation that make up this composition. Brian Buckley has a mysterious tone that simmers in his timbres, leaving us anticipating the next lyric each time. As we absorb such a robust concept that lingers in a narrative representing catharsis, we're exposed to a vast array of emotions that he has experienced throughout the pandemic. Bringing in innovative sounds as the chord progressions float upon a medley of pure tenors, there's something special about "A Thousand Times." It's the essence of hope that surfaces through the music professed as Brian Buckley carries forth an undeniable charm. His presence leaves us wanting more, all while being fully satisfied with what he conveys. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Brian Buckley, and congratulations on the release of "A Thousand Times." You bring such bold energy to this song. What was the moment or story that inspired this track? "A Thousand Times" is an anthem to those willing to back up the one you love. That feeling of being a chameleon for your partner, morphing into whatever is needed in defense of that someone that is your world - but of course, there is a price to pay, a cost - because that infinite kind of love certainly doesn't come free. What is the meaning laced into this record? How does it fit into the entire concept of "COLOR?" The song is a dot-connecting the through-line of the overall lyrical approach of the album. COLOR, in its original concept, has everything to do with refusing to see existence as strictly binary. The portrait of the record attempts to make sense of not one perspective of the human experience but multiple. Which, I adamantly feel, is what troubles us all collectively. Societally, it seems as though it is 'our way or the highway,' and I firmly believe that without empathy and compassion, the world will remain in bordered black and white. What a shame that would be, particularly when there is so much colored texture out there to embrace! This collection of songs is an attempt to avoid that entirely. If we dig into the album a bit more, could you please take us into what it was like working with Johannes Raassina to bring the vision to life? Working with Johannes Raassina (producer) is, to be blunt, a dream. We worked with him twice before with the band, and when this opportunity presented itself, he was a perfect choice. Johannes has a way of both empowering the artist's authenticity and lifting the best from them without (seemingly) an ounce of effort. He never judges what the song demands and is consistently honest with his reactions. Since this was only my second foray into the solo world (the last was 2007's "FOR HER"), I was notably unnerved as to how to begin. Jo quenched that from the get-go. I am terribly grateful for his talent… Throughout the pandemic, what has been your biggest takeaway? How have you applied that to your craft? The pandemic opened a wide array of musical experiences for me. I had to get fill the void of recording without the ability to step foot inside a studio. So I began, piece by piece, building my little haven inside my home office and teaching myself how to press record without an engineer to save the day. Although it took quite a while, I was able to slowly get my footing, and in all transparency, were it not for the quarantine, I most definitely wouldn't have even tried. It has fundamentally changed the way I see songwriting, singing, and ultimately making a record. A silver lining in a deeply and profoundly sad time… What can listeners expect to hear next from you? I miss the band. We are brothers and have been creating sound together for over a decade. Unfortunately, the pandemic forced an unwanted separation that I am desperate to dissolve as soon as humanly possible! I would love to work on another BBB album when the time is right and begin playing live when the coast is clear and all safety guidelines can be met with confidence. In the meantime, I'll retreat into my little studio den and continue to create with fervor. Instagram Facebook

From Cyprus to Atlanta, Georgia, the singer-songwriter and versatile recording artist Olympia Papageorgiou releases her sweet and spicy single, "No Titles." While growing up in Cyprus and later moving to Atlanta, Georgia, Olympia Papageorgiou fell in love with music as she learned her way around the piano and began honing her vocal skills. Olympia Papageorgiou holds her Greek-Cypriot heritage close to her heart and makes many efforts to incorporate her roots with her current tunes for an authentic Papageorgiou experience. Basking in the radiance and energy of her latest single, "No Titles," we were taken aback by the amount of passion, charisma, and authenticity that this single has to offer. While effectively paying homage to her Greek-Cypriot roots, Olympia Papageorgiou sings an empowering and sultry message to get our speakers bumping. Listening to the new single, "No Titles," the song opens with the flamenco guitar that later transitions into a plucky and heated hip-hop/r&b beat. As Olympia Papageorgiou makes her breathy and angelic vocal appearance, she melts through our speakers with the utmost passion, confidence, and soul. As she begins singing about not needing a man to make her happy, she reminds us of the importance of living independently. There's something about Olympia Papageorgiou's vocal tones that are almost like a lovechild between Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande, especially as she continues to take her time to deliver her words of wisdom calmly. As the fiery and stimulating r&b/hip-hop beat grooves towards the outro, Olympia Papageorgiou closes the song and leaves us wanting more where this came from. Don't miss out on Olympia Papageorgiou's exciting and empowering performance in her latest single, "No Titles," available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Olympia Papageorgiou. We can't get enough of the rhythm and vibe of your latest single, "No Titles." What inspired you to create such an independent and empowering single like this? Thank you very much! Honestly… it just came to me. I fell in love with the beat when I first heard it and for some reason, this empowering feeling came up. It felt like.. I got this, nothing can stop me from what I am going to do with my life, essentially. It was such a cool feeling! I think when writing the song, it wasn’t supposed to be directed towards a person necessarily, I think the song, in general, empowers ridding toxic and unhealthy things, people, thoughts or behaviors. It can be interpreted in different ways! Did you work with any producers to help navigate the sound and feel of the sonics within "No Titles"? What sort of atmosphere did you want this song to give off? Once I heard the Mediterranean and Latin elements, I then developed an original melody to go with it and the lyrics came really naturally to me. My producer and my manager assisted me through the recording process specifically. My producer, manager, engineer and my good friend Broderick, all helped me put the song together at the studio to finalize it. It was a collaborative effort! The song gives off a fun, summer dance atmosphere! How did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing your gripping single, "No Titles"? How did you want your audience to react? I want my audience to feel confident when listening to the song! I want them to feel good about themselves, empowered and ready to take on the world and say “no” to things that bring them down or harm them. How would you describe your music to a new listener in terms of style and genre? Where would you say "No Titles" lands on that spectrum? I always find this question a little hard to answer. I don’t necessarily have one genre that I stick to. I would say I am an international recording artist but I sing whatever moves me. If I hear a track that I love, I am going to work with it! I love to work with different kinds of music such as Latin-influenced, to Greek-influenced all the way to old school R&B. If I love the beat, I’ll sing on it! “No Titles” definitely lands on the spectrum of my interests when it comes to international sounds and wanting to dance! What's next for you? I am working on putting together a music video for “No Titles” and I pray that I will be able to execute it well! It takes a lot of energy and time to put together music videos but I think this one will be so exciting and fun because of the energy in the song! Other than that, I will continue to release music as we go and I hope you join me on my journey! Instagram Facebook

Growing up in Baldwin Park, California, as a first-generation Mexican-American, Emvee Harlan first experienced music on a deeper level when she was introduced to an orchestra at nine years old. With musical influences that cover genres of all kinds, she is learning to find herself within the music she creates as she connects with other like-minded individuals. Aiming to stay authentic and reach out to souls similar to hers, her main goal is to shed some light on their journeys as well. The rich sounds that fill our speakers as we take in her most recent single and video for “Masquerade” sit with us in an antedating fashion. We hear the punk-rock nature of the song amplify through our ears, with Emvee Harlan’ unapologetic personality taking the forefront of this edgy record. With a filmic component that matches the grunge-esque styling of the musical foundation, we have Emvee Harlan sitting in the corner of a room with a mask on as we observe her from a mysterious topical view. The black and white footage may open up the visuals, but what pulls us in are the colorful scenes that sprinkle the right amount of vivacity through this care-free track. Pairing up close and personal scenes with the cinematic art of abstract shots of Emvee Harlan all dressed up for the masquerade ball, there’s a diverse visual representation that brings us into the inner mind of her workings. We have to admit that the eye-catching intermissions of those luscious guitar chords being plucked away have us appreciating the zesty sounds that continue to trickle for the sustaining presence they leave on us. Touring us to the final moments as the musical foundation fades out and we’re left with a bad-ass shot of Emvee Harlan in a stunning red gown, “Masquerade” is a song that has us eager to learn more about the boisterous artist herself. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Emvee Harlan. We love the sonic and visual pairing of your latest single "Masquerade." What inspired such an abstract concept for the music video? I felt the beginning of the song expressed solitaire and uncertainty of the Self. It inspired me to create different versions of "me" with varying selections of wardrobes and masks. The song begins with the line... "never knowing who I am," and that's currently my reality as a New Artist. I'm still learning what that means and how to be authentic while creative at the same time. How does the meaning of the song tie into what the visuals portray? Was that always what you envisioned when crafting the set? I've had a lot of trouble being seen by others, so I wanted to make sure this music video pushed me to expose my vulnerability. But I wasn't sure how it was going to be created until I started shooting. That's when I decided to make it a stand-alone video of just "me." It ended up being three different personas: the shower scene of a more exposed and insecure Self (in connection with the start of the lyrics of feeling lost), the simple jean and shirt persona playing the guitar in darkness (the want to remain authentic and behind the scenes where I'm more comfortable and still part of everything, as the chorus suggests), and the elegant woman in a gown who has more confidence in herself and what she's becoming (connecting with the second verse of the lyrics of feeling stronger). Could you please take us into the rest of your team that helped bring this concept to life? How did they help reiterate your vision? I filmed, produced, and edited the music video by myself. I selected the clothes/masks and filmed inside my Condo. As a brand new independent, I found it cost-efficient this time around to take over the project. However, my mom did help me with fitting into the dress! Thanks, mom. What message would you like your listeners to reflect on as they take this song in? I think we all struggle with identity in different phases of our life. What we fail to do sometimes is connect with others in that journey because of fear or insecurity. And I think that puts a strain on our growth when trying to discover who we are or what we want to be. So realizing that we are all a part of this journey, I think, is the main message of the song. Together, feeling like we are sometimes fake or pretending but actively trying to figure it out and wanting to be better versions of ourselves. The more we see and feel connectivity, the easier it will be to be there for each other. Instagram Facebook

MKHL is a London-bred artist, who has been making a way out of no way since day one. Starting off as a Country artist with influences like Kings of Leon and Coldplay, he made the most out of what he had when he learned to play music on his five-string guitar that should've been six. Now delving into the genre of Hip-hop, he admires the elements that comprise where the soul comes from. Recognizing that this genre is like no other, everything surrounding the authenticity of these sounds has led MKHL to where we see him today. Playing upon the latest craze that is the hit Netflix series Squid Game, MKHL recruits Nate the Great and Young Bizzle in order to make a memorable track that fits the pandemonium struck. The dark yet enticing drill-style beat has us embracing instrumentation that keeps us on our toes. The impeccable use of beat drops and sporadic drum patterns allow MKHL to cascade his powerful emcee abilities across the production. Complementing the vocal hues in a way that leaves us with a significant amount of anticipation, this collaborative track takes us into the depths of the lyrical dexterity that these artists showcase. Each bringing their own inimitable styling to “Squid Game,” we get to hear the expressive essence of this record skyrocket your energy as you’re fully locked into the three-minute masterpiece. Leaving us to navigate around the crafty rhyme schemes, MKHL knows exactly how to engage his audience. The peaks and valleys that are created through the icy slick cadences have us in a trance and wanting to grasp onto more from not only MKHL as an emcee, but the featured artists he chose to recruit for “Squid Game.” Making this a track that you’ll want to turn all the way up, MKHL exceeds our expectations through the ‘red light, green light’ metaphors, and witty use of timing. We love your latest single “Squid Game.” With there being such a craze around the hit show, when did you know that you would play into the uproar and craft this song? I knew after episode 1 that I was going to make a song with that "Red light green light" theme. I actually wrote the song while watching episode 2 before I even got the beat How did the collaboration between yourself, Nate the Great, and Young Bizzle come to be? What was it like working with one another to bring this hit track to life? I Had the song but no verse or hook yet, I just knew I wanted it to be a mix of energies just like the people in the show. I record Nate the Great and Bizzles more recent music and we had just finished recording Nate's song "Chaos." The energy was right and I showed them the verse I did, the rest is history. We all live in NYC so we actually got together to record this one, something we haven't had much chance to do with the whole pandemic going on. Do you usually take inspiration from pop culture? What musical and non-musical influences play a role in the music that you create? I make anime music all day on Soundcloud. I actually found my way into rap using Anime and movies as my influence. One of my biggest songs on SoundCloud right now is "Uchiha Gang" (named after the Uchiha family in Naruto) with over 200k streams. With being such a hard worker of your craft, what is the best way that your audience can support you? Right now I'm working on a few projects involving NFT's so the best thing my listeners could do is learn about Crypto and get into collecting. I guess they could also stream Squid games on Spotify and add it to their playlists What's next for you? You'll see it in a few months. It'll be everywhere Instagram Facebook

Hailing from Nashville, Tennessee, the DJ, and electronic producer Feelz pairs up with vocalist Lena Luisa for their lush and passionate new single, "Waiting For You." The Nashville-based producer took his first steps in the music industry during his college years, playing DJ sets for many local clubs and bars. After gaining popularity and traction in his hometown, Feelz went on to perform alongside major-label musicians around the world like Waka Flocka Flame, Slander, and Allison Wonderland. Recently releasing his passionate and chilling collaboration with vocalist Lena Luisa, their single, "Waiting For You," is nothing short of an electronic masterpiece. As the days of house, music begins to fade out, artists like Feelz are storming their way through the industry with uplifting, trance-inducing, and melodic approaches like his recent single to keep us on our toes. Hitting play on "Waiting For You," the song gently opens with a melodic keyboard melody and an array of background pads that lift our spirits above this plane. As Lena Luisa's soothing and calming vocals begin to pour through, she takes us through her passion and devotion for someone special and how they're well worth the wait. As Feelz's upbeat drums begin to punch through, we make our way over to the drop. Feelz's radiant and breathtaking drop is like a breath of fresh air; he sonically punches us with his powerful drums while ghostly vocal chops rain down from above alongside his chilling and bright synth arrangements. As we make our way to the outro, Luisa ups the experience with her lush vocals to end the song with the utmost passion and vibrance. Get your dose of sonic bliss with Feelz and Lena Luisa's latest single, "Waiting For You," now available on all digital streaming platforms. A warm welcome to BuzzMuisc Feelz. We love the passion and vibrance of your latest single, "Waiting For You." What inspired you to create this heartfelt and moving piece? I was looking to do a track that would really hit the international market. I was really into Kaivon and Illenium style music at that time. I listened to a lot of their live sets and wanted to bring my vibe and style into something similar to theirs. I came up with a basic idea then sent it to my co-producer. My co-producer Ronald Black really helped me put a polish on the song by playing the amazing piano live and giving my basic chord progression a one over to something a bit more complex. It made it more heartfelt and really brought the track together. What was your collaboration with Lena Luisa for "Waiting For You" like? Did you write the song's lyrics together, or did you leave that process up to Luisa? I reached out to her to see if she would like to be the singer of the song. She was interested and we set up a write-through zoom with the co-writer on the song Austin Hutchins. They knocked out all of the lyrics through zoom. Lena had a studio session recorded the stems and then sent them to me. Working through zoom makes things a bit harder but we got it done. Her living in Austria and me living in Los Angeles at the time was really not as bad as I thought it would be on the project. When people truly love what they do they make it happen no matter what. Could you take us through your creative process for "Waiting For You?" How did you begin navigating your way through the song's dense production? Once we had the chord progression right, it was really about what we wanted the main elements of the song to be. We decided the vocal followed by the piano was going to be the two main elements of the track. From there, it was just about making sure our melody would get stuck in the listener's head. I feel like we did that really well on this track and I am very happy with the outcome. Would you say that your music often falls under a particular sub-category of electronic music? Or do you consider yourself to be rather explorative and genre-defying? I would say my music would be considered pop-house to pop future bass if I had to put it in a category. I am honestly still trying to find my sound, and I am just really trying to find amazing singers that want to work. Any good vocals with relatable lyrics I can get a chance to work with. I am going to produce what I am feeling at that moment, my sound will come but right now I am just really trying to work with as many people as I can and put as much music out as I can Instagram Facebook

Following the successful release of her debut EP titled 'Aura,' Mississauga Music's Best New Solo Artist of 2020, and Dropout Entertainment's winner of the Best Pop Video of 2020, Dani Kristina has established her sound as an up and coming artist. Known for her melodic bops, she takes after musical influences such as Taylor Swift, Lennon Stella, Halsey, and countless other inspirations. Finding her footing amongst her signature style, Dani Kristina is a confident, mature, creative, and open-minded artist with diverse musical roots, which allows her to experiment with complex harmonies within her songwriting. The captivating essence of her most recent single, "Habit," has us feeling the pulsating 808s as we enter the hypnotic trance she conveys. Thriving in a realm that contrasts upbeat tenors and mid-tempo dynamism, Dani Kristina's elusive timbres sculpt an intoxicating vivacity laced into the soundscape present. Allowing us to conceptualize the deeper meaning behind "Habit," Dani Kristina makes it, so you're hanging on to each lyrical motif shed. 'Is it true that you moved out of this good for nothing little town?' is a prime example of the carefully crafted wedding that Dani Kristina uses to elevate her storytelling techniques to have us feasting on a sonic buffet of picturesque melodies. With flashbacks of nostalgia that fill our hearts with longing, the emotion struck up in this record is rather undeniable. You find yourself sifting through a bank of moods, more potent than the last as "Habit" progresses. Dani Kristina has a little bit of something for every listener to place ears on her music, from danceable pop anthems to moody, emotional ballads. Wrapping us in the auditory eclipse that is "Habit," we'll be using the repeat button rather frequently on this one. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Dani Kristina, and congratulations on the release of your most recent single, "Habit." You use an array of descriptive lyrics to make this composition leap from the speakers. What inspired the detailed storyline that you've placed into this song? "Habit" is a really personal song for me. When I first started writing it, I wanted to capture the feeling of falling out of love, and so I reflected on the ways that the little things about life might remind us of a past relationship. Little things like getting a coffee or hearing about what an ex is doing can sometimes be hard, but "Habit" explores what happens after you're done grieving. While we might still remember the exact date and time of an event in our life, sometimes we can do that without it hurting so much and without feeling a single thing. We might count the days since someone broke our heart, but at some point, we forget why we even started counting. It's really a song about acceptance, and I feel like detailed, seemingly unimportant parts of our storyline can affect us quite deeply. I wrote "Habit" to show how you can go from seeing the pain in everything… to no longer seeing a person in the faces of strangers and finally moving on. Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process entailed when bringing this song to life? What was it like tapping into your vulnerability to allow this song to thrive at its full potential? When bringing this song to life, it started just like most of my songs, at the grand piano in my house with all the lights off. I like writing in the dark because it helps me compose my thoughts without any distractions. I remember when I first got the idea for this song, and it was actually at about 3:45 AM (or something), and I realized for the first time in a while that I was over a pretty intense heartbreak, and that's something I wanted to put into words. Up until 2021, I had been pretty vague about my personal experiences in the music I released, as I preferred to reveal my personal life through imagery and metaphors in my lyrics. So, it was pretty scary to be this vulnerable, knowing I would release this for everyone to hear, but I just had this overwhelming joy that I was finally feeling like myself again after feeling so sad for so long, and I wanted to put that into words. Once I poured the song out of me, it felt like a letter to someone I used to care about, and once the song was finished in the studio, it felt like the perfect way to end off a trilogy of songs I released this year. Writing is my therapy, and after writing so many heartbreak songs, it was refreshing to pour my heart out for my own peace. What's your favorite lyric from "Habit?" Why? That's such a tough one! I think it would probably be, "I could've sworn I saw a man that looked like you when I went to get my coffee." I feel like it sums up the overarching emotion of the song, how things that usually would have made someone feel either uncomfortable or overwhelmed with emotion no longer have the power to do so. With a music video available for all to see, what can your audience expect when tuning into the "Habit" visuals? Was this your vision from the beginning? I am such a huge fan of creating visuals for my music. Whenever I write, I have a certain image in my mind that fuels the lyrics and inspires me during the writing process. When anyone tunes into the "Habit" video, they can expect to feel like they're peering into an album of photographs of a love that once was, to be taken on a journey through a city that I've lived in my entire life and felt so many feelings in. I visit a parking lot near my house, a park, and some other landmarks, taking the viewer on a little tour of my home city, kind of how "Habit" references memories made in one place. I knew from the beginning that I wanted dancers to be going throughout the city as I sang in it, and Jelena Latkovic and Mya Lazic made that vision come to life. The whole video is meant to show a person revisiting places they fell in love with, and the dancing is meant to show how places that once broke your heart can be beautiful again. Do you have any other releases planned before the end of the year? I've been keeping it sort of lowkey, but listeners of mine can definitely expect something to drop around the holidays… stay tuned!

With a skewed perception from the view of the protagonist as he seeks out meaning on his mission, the white, glossy-eyed close-up of his wandering self has us realizing he may be more absent than we thought. The brilliant use of slow motion, and bird’s eye view cinematography have us feasting on the impact that the visuals make in coalition with the music performed. As we transition to Redsix in triangular isolation in the wilderness, their performance is rather unforgettable. Through the amplification of the song's intensity changing over the course of the musical journey, we remain seeing the young man through ever-changing locations including Mt. Merapi, the famous Malioboro St, and beach locations at Parangkusumo and its surrounding areas.
