Heart on sleeve, sleeve on fire, Dinzy is ready to leave it all on the floor. Delivering a harmonious, on-demand adrenaline shot that unravels rock with an unabashed sincerity and snarl, the Nashville-gone-nitro artist is blazing the torch of big, loud rock and roll. Dinzy unleashing the electric surge of a new single is something that has our ears perking up almost immediately. Bringing forth the most recent hit that gives the Paramore hit “Hard Times,” a Dinzy makeover, she teams up with Davie Smith to shine a beaming light on 2017 single we know and love. Wrapping us in a high-octane performance that has us analyzing the shocking resemblance between the charisma that Dinzy shares with Hayley Williams, we’re thrilled that Dinzy chose to let loose and give us a dose of all that is this eclectic rock forward bop. The sporadic guitar riffs by Smith and tom hits courtesy of drummer Kyle Edmonson create an impactful universe that takes your attention on a tour through the perfected musical elements across the sound system. Hearing the grit in the vocal performance that Dinzy offers up, there’s an unmatched determination and hunger that lends itself to the inner warriors within us. Grasping onto each note she effortlessly hits while keeping the crisp performance so heavily rooted in an unapologetic persona, and we adore Dinzy’s twist on this favorite. There’s more than meets the eye when it comes to the high voltage appeal of Dinzy. Continuously wowing her fan base across the world, we’d like to think that her rendition of “Hard Times” is giving life to every listener tuned in. Welcome to BuzzMusic Dinzy, and congratulations on the release of “Hard Times,” with Davie Smith! What moment or story inspired you to create your version of this highly intoxicating single? What was it like working with Davie Smith? Thank You so much! Davie and I have been friends since I moved here to Nashville and really connected musically. Together we both jumped at the chance to record a Paramore cover as it's no secret I am a huge fan of theirs and really loved the sound of this new funky dance single. Davie was quick to be the band recording the guitar, bass, percussion, and vocals! Although Davie and I have a few tunes waiting to see the light of day, "Hard Times" was a scream for help for how life has been for quite some time now. Living through these uncertain times, financial hardships and all the while keeping attention and importance on mental health really inspired me to dust this one-off. I had to take this into the studio at Wire Bird Productions where we brought the song to life with the talent of Drummer Kyle Edmonson and Engineer Producer Brett Ryan Stewart who really catapulted this song into the stratosphere. We love the fact that you chose to cover another femme-led act! How important is it for women to stick together in the music industry? I am often involved and a performer of most of the celebrated female-fronted tribute and original shows that are put on around Nashville and I have absolutely loved to be a part of them and meet all of these incredibly talented musicians. In an industry like this, It is extremely important to support my fellow femme musicians and together raise our voices. Have you performed this single live yet? What are some differences in your creative process when it comes to your artistry in the studio versus on stage? We have not rocked this out live yet, but come 2022 my record will be released and I'll be back live to promote the album and Hard Times will definitely be on the setlist. The studio is a little more calculated and thought out for recording although you never know what will inspire and when I take it to the stage, it's a speeding bullet where anything can happen. It's raw, it's alive, it's rock and roll. What do you hope that your audience can take away from you when they hear “Hard Times?" I hope that "Hard Times" can be an anthem for the current state of emotion and strife we are all experiencing. Ultimately it's a friend reaching out showing they are going through the same thing, that you're not alone and that it's okay to not be okay. There is that light at the end of the tunnel. What's next for you? I am currently writing and recording my second studio album due 2022 and will be releasing my first single entirely written and composed by myself called "I Wish", premiering the first of the year.

Hollywood Hills is home to the mesmerizing electronic dance artist Elektra Prince. With what began producing music in his apartment in 2016, while completing his bachelor’s degree at The University of Arizona, the Los Angeles transplant rerouted in 2018. He would spend the next two years getting serious about his craft. Having a copious amount of experience under his belt and a hunger to delve into electro-pop, Elektra Prince continues to put forth genre-bending electronic music different from the norm yet mainstream in appeal. “Expectations” is the highly anticipated single that Elektra Prince has been waiting to serve up to his audience. Through a resonated baseline that takes on a hefty nod to captivating distortion, the electric vibrations surging through your speakers take on a hypnotic feel. Caught up in the intoxicating tempo that has you tapping your fingers and toes to the beat even long after the song comes to a halt, we’re wrapped up in the seamless blend of mystery and the desire to pry further into our eclectic mindset. Knowing exactly how to draw us into the alluring essence of “Expectations,” the amalgamation of delicate and prevailing musical elements make for a listening experience that has us floating in the wavy ambiance cast before us. Latching onto the reverberated chamber of croons that the intimate performance of the female vocals convey, we’ve effortlessly transported to the mystical universe that Elektra Prince intended for us to venture to. In an atmosphere that inspires you to let loose and dance your way through the soundscape so generously offered up, the prolific nature of the emotions propelled forward has us enthralled with everything “Expectations” stands for. Eager to follow along on the journey of Elektra Prince, we’ll put “Expectations” on repeat until we get the next stroke of creative genius from this emerging starlet. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Elektra Prince! After hearing "Expectations," we're thrilled to unravel the song's more profound meaning. What is the meaning compacted into the striking lyrical motifs we hear in this piece? Thanks for listening. I've worked hard for several years to reach a point where I'm proud to present my work to the public. My song "Expectations" generally embodies the anxiety and uncertainty of trying to navigate one's social and dating life, especially in a big city such as Los Angeles. I paired it with an upbeat electro-pop sounding beat to capture a night out where these circumstances often arise. What does a song like "Expectations" aim to convey to the listener as they take it in? What does it say about you as an artist? With this song, I aimed to convey a feel-good sleek, and confident sound that would make the listener want to dance or feel empowered to take on the day's work or nightlife. When putting this song together, I wanted to state that I won't just be making EDM songs strictly and that I would like to continue combining electronic dance music with a more mainstream pop sound. Do you find that Los Angeles plays into the signature sound you've adapted? What have you noticed about your growth from making a move from Arizona to Hollywood Hills? Absolutely. I wanted this song to combine EDM, pop, and hip hop elements. Mustard's distinct LA sound directly inspires the "chant" fx, and the vocalist has a significant hip LA feel to her voice. The prominent bassline, I believe, is a sound lots of Angeleno's can identify as being true to the essence of the city's ambitious culture. After moving to Hollywood, I noticed my increased ability to build a career while managing daily struggles and unexpected events. What's next for Elektra Prince? It's so hard to tell where your career will lead as an artist, but I've found that continually taking small actions each day ultimately leads to something greater. My goal now is to continue developing my artistry and focus more heavily on promotion. I hope people will find joy in my music and that one day I can bring it to life in unique and creative shows.

Jennie Harluk, the Calgary-born and raised musical protégé, began her musical career at the age of six honing her skills and fine-tuning her ears on the piano and acoustic guitar. Performing her own written songs regularly since the age of ten, the eighteen-year-old has performed at various impressive events and venues, including the Calgary Stampede and Alberta’s Country Thunder Festival, garnering her team’s attention as the most exciting emerging talent in years. With her emotional vulnerability on display in blinding lights, Jennie Harluk guides the listeners into her rollercoaster-like turmoil, allowing us to connect with her on a deep and grounded level in her latest single “The Fool.” The heartbreaking storytelling, crafted in such a masterful manner, reels the audience into a vivid depiction of devotion and deceit. Unable to wash away the everlasting stain of tainted love, Jennie Harluk struggles to give up hope and becomes “The Fool,” with an awakening instigated by a force-fed serving of self-awareness. Her soft yet powerful voice, carefully layered at the most opportune moments, caresses your ears and speaks directly to your soul. Conveyed by the strumming of her acoustic guitar, tiered with spacey electric guitar riffs and timely potent percussion, the instrumentation permits the vocals to perfectly display the turbulence in which Jennie Harluk found herself during the creation of this masterpiece. The correlation of all aspects in this hit allows the listener to fully escape and emerge themselves into her world, giving it an abundance of playback ability, no matter what mood you may find yourself in. We can’t help but perk up and exude excitement at the natural talent and potential of the young singer-songwriter. Recognizing that she has just entered the mainstream scene while still working on her debut EP, yet already possesses such a well-rounded skill set, we look forward to experiencing all the wonders her career will bring. Congratulations on your new release! Can you give us some insight into the inspiration behind the story of "The Fool?" Thank you! I'm excited about this single. "The Fool" came together right when it was supposed to. Nearing the end of a healing process from a breakup, I think this song was my mind and heart pushing out the last bits of anger, confusion, sadness, and loneliness so that I could move on. This song captivates the messy, regretful, lonely, stupid emotions that a person feels after a breakup. They have people telling them cliches like "it's their loss," "what goes around comes around, "the joke's on them," etc. - and while all that may or may not be true, you still got left, hurt, broken up with after staying with someone who didn't treat you right or know how to love you properly. And that's tough! Your new single has such a solid and emotional pull. What kind of toll did it take on you when working on something so personal during the creation process? Like I mentioned before, I think this song came for me when I needed it. I think I got fired up and excited because I know that these kinds of emotional songs only come to me when I'm ready and over the hump of hurt … so I knew that by this song being created, I was close to moving on ultimately. I wrote this track with Jackson Willows and Joseph of Mercury in December of 2020, they are so awesome to work with, and it was a fun session - lighthearted but understood. It was a great experience. How has it been working with the well-renowned A&R veteran Fraser Hill? Fraser has been a great addition to our team and has offered lots of insight into the music. He's introduced me to so many great writers and producers, and all around is a great guy who loves music like the rest of us! It's been a great year working together, and I'm excited to see what comes next! With such grounded and relatable subject matter, what do you hope your audience takes away from your message when they hear "The Fool?" I hope my audience takes what they need to take from this song. For one person, maybe it's simply a song they like and gets stuck in their head; for another, it might be the message or the sign they've been waiting for that lets them know they're not alone and their feelings are valid. Music is beautiful because it's so interpretive and means so many different things to different people. So ultimately, whatever emotion this song makes you feel, I hope you dig into it and get whatever you need out of it. What's next for you? I will consistently release new singles into the New Year and am so excited to continue writing and sharing music with listeners! My next single will be coming very soon, so stay tuned to my social media for news on that. I love sharing my life and interests on my social platforms (@jennieharluk) and feel it's the best way to connect and show viewers all parts of my life. I'm so excited for "The Fool" to be released and the official music video following shortly after on YouTube. Thanks so much for the great questions! Instagram Artist Website

Music is many things, to many people. It is a source of inspiration or a conduit for emotional release. It can be uplifting and exciting or thought-provoking and controversial. Some see music as something to have in the background of a club to dance to, whilst others like the journey an album takes you on. Albums are increasingly obsolete these days; once upon a time, they were a story, a tale of chapters taking you through highs and lows. These days, you’re more likely to have a playlist, your own story, speaking directly to you. A playlist can be personal, tailored to an event or milestone. One such event is poker night. Poker is popular in the US right now, not least because of the ongoing World Series of Poker. It is the most famous live poker tournament on the planet, lasting two full months. It arrives at the perfect time when nights get darker and the weather gets cooler, meaning that you’re likely to be inspired by the big Las Vegas poker event and maybe get buddies over for a few hands. It’s the same at any big event; the nation follows what it sees on TV. With 60 million poker players worldwide, there’s little surprise many will be picking up cards this fall. If you do, you’re going to need a playlist to get the mood going, but what to play? You could add obvious poker-related songs, but we think we’ve got something of an alternative set of songs here that will work brilliantly when you’re dealing the aces. Tim Armstrong – Hold On Tim Armstrong is a ska, punk, and reggae legend, and his 2007 album A Poet’s Life is well worth adding to your poker playlist. It’s quite a chilled reggae-fusion experience, featuring the Aggrolites as the backing band. Hold On has poker relevance; it’s imperative that if you’ve got a decent hand, you hold on even if the game doesn’t quite go your way; every hand is a winner; it depends on how you play it. Aerosmith – What It Takes Rock legends Aerosmith have a few tracks worth playing at your poker night, not least Dueces Are Wild, which has a heavy poker theme. If you want to feel a bit old school when your friends pile around, stick on ‘Big Ones’, a collection of some of the band’s top work. What It Takes is a country-style ballad, not too heavy for your game but enough to keep the tempo high. Do you have what it takes to see the handout? Café Del Mar – Energy 52 (Three’N One Remix) We’ve gone with reggae and a bit of rock, but why not think about adding a bit of trance to your playlist? Trance tends to be all about the beats and tune, so there’s no worry about words clouding your judgment as you study the cards. EDM won’t tell a story; you’re likely to put a ‘best of EDM’ playlist on if you want a full experience. Cafe Del Mar do trance right, and their song Three’N One has a real poker message; if you get three of the same card in one hand, you’re likely to be a winner. Remember, if you’re looking to keep your poker playlist fresh, always check out this new releases page to find exciting new music that you can introduce your friends to whilst checking and seeing those cards.

How is everything these days for you? Thank you for having me. It is such a pleasure to be here with you. Things are going extremely well despite the pandemic. I’ve been blessed. It would be interesting to know about your early life and how it shaped you into the person you are today? I’m glad that you asked me that question. I’ve had a colorful and stimulating upbringing. My mother and grandmother certainly shaped my future from an early age. They offered me a different experience with a similar theme. My grandmother, who taught my mother, inspired me to design clothes and taught me the basics of making them as well. My mother inspired me to sing and compose music. I was then lucky enough to travel extensively as a teenager and live in different countries and continents. Life was not always easy but I learned to always persevere in the face of adversity. Your songs have made it to the Billboard Dance charts. We want you to tell us about the hard work and efforts you put into your work to reach this point. I’ve been very lucky to have had the motivation to work hard. Sometimes it seems that difficult circumstances make it impossible to concentrate and devote oneself to create or push oneself to their limits. I’ve always had an innate urge to go beyond what I believe my limits are, which has translated to today as well. I still take many music classes, for example. I enjoy bettering my craft and know that time is limited and am always pushing myself to improve. What has been your biggest achievement as a singer? Growing up I always wanted to sing at Carnegie Hall. When I was able to achieve that twice it gave me a sense of accomplishment at a relatively young age. So, Radmila Lolly, we know that you are an amazing Fashion Designer as well. How did you start your journey as a fashion artist? Well, as I previously mentioned my grandmother taught my mother about sewing and designing. My mother then taught and inspired me to learn the craft. From there I was lucky to be able to sketch designs rather quickly and often if I had a line that needed to be put together quickly. I enjoy designing to this day. It surely would be difficult to manage both of your fields together. How do you manage to excel in both, as a singer and fashion designer simultaneously? Time. I put a lot of effort into both crafts which demands a lot of my time. I really don’t see any other way to accomplish what is necessary without devoting a lot of work to each endeavor. Everyone has a weak point in their lives when they are on the verge of giving up. Ms. Radmila, we want you to share one of your experiences with us and tell us what encouraged you to never give up throughout your journey. I always remember that 24 hours can make a difference in my situation and state of mind. Never give up, because all the time you’ve put in, will be wasted. When you start your race, you need to finish it off, don’t stop midway, no matter what, because how else can you win the race? Being a resourceful artist and having such success in the industry for years now, what life lessons have you learned so far? Never allow anyone to tell you what your path should be; dream, work, achieve! Diva is one of the most ambitious projects. Details show that you have been working on it for 7 years. What is Diva and why is it so important for you? DIVA is a novel album and I already have a book trailer. I will be shooting a short film next month based on the audiobook. The whole project takes place between 1928 and 1970. It’s very upbeat, nothing in the middle, like me...haha. It’s all about fictional characters. The project includes; a novel, a 27 movement album, short film, and couture line that corresponds with the novel’s storyline. I’m applying all my artistic mediums into one. That’s why it means so much to me. I can’t wait to release it to the world. What are your future plans and where do you see yourself in the next 5 years? The release of the DIVA novel, album, short film, couture collection is set to be released for 2022, with the grandiose show in Miami. From there I would like to get a residency show, based on the Diva storyline, around the world. One at the time of course:) Your fashion line and songs have already inspired masses to look up to you and your work. Where can they get to know more about you?

What a powerful and exciting listening experience you've provided with your latest single, "About Tomorrow." What inspired this sultry and invigorating tune? "About Tomorrow" was inspired by the nights we spend without regard for what the next morning might bring - A time simply meant for good company and a toast to all that you choose to leave behind at that moment. Could you expand on how your band tackled the creative process for "About Tomorrow?" How did you work off each other to reach the final product? The creative process for "About Tomorrow" was one of the lengthier ones in regard to the rest of the songs on the EP. We would spend weeks at a time writing, revisiting, and re-writing the track, doing our best to make sure it embodied the sonic and lyrical environment we had in mind for it as best as possible. We were constantly bouncing ideas for lyrical changes, guitar riffs, and chord changes back and forth from each other - It was definitely one of the tracks with a large amount of revision and collaboration put into it. How does the single "About Tomorrow" prepare us for your forthcoming EP, "Revival?' Why did you choose to release this song as the lead single? "About Tomorrow" is the second single to be released in anticipation of our upcoming EP, 'Revival.' It embodies the energy and empowerment that we really wanted to showcase throughout this collection of work. Could you tell us a bit more about your brand and what you strive to represent? How does your music reflect who you are as a group? The word "Redamancy" literally means, "a love returned in full." We often talk about how that has become a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy for us over the years of being a band; we went from being classmates to bandmates, to best friends, to a family who shares a huge love for one another and the art we create together. What's next for you? The full EP comes out on November 19th, with a release show and merchandise drop to follow on December 2nd at Globe Hall in Denver, CO. Instagram Facebook

The Pittsburgh-based singer-songwriter and pop/country recording artist Demi Michelle sweeten our days with her vulnerable and explorative 11-track album, 'Dear Diary.' When listening to Demi Michelle's radiant tunes, one should always expect a heartfelt, charismatic, and unique listening experience. She's known for wearing her heart on her sleeve and turning her life experience into memorable and catchy tunes. Through inspirations like Julia Michaels, Kelsea Ballerini, and Taylor Swift, Demi Michelle is able to create her honest and warm-hearted music to share with listeners. More recently, Michelle dropped her thorough 11-track album, 'Dear Diary,' and opened up on incredibly relatable and meaningful experiences. Jumping into the project, we're met with the introductory track and lead single, "Will I Ever." The song opens with Demi Michelle's warm vocals and an accompanying piano melody that sets the song's uplifting and feel-good tone. Listening to Michelle's lyricism, she tells a relatable story of having a big imagination but not wanting to replay romantic scenarios inside her head; instead, she yearns to fall in love while wondering if she ever will. We love the honesty that Michelle brings to this piece, especially as she floats alongside her fluttery and bright instrumentals; she leads us to the outro with nothing but introspection. Making our way into the second track, "Perfectly Imperfect," the song begins with a groovy electro-pop arrangement filled with anticipation. Once Demi Michelle's whispery and breathy vocals appear, she delves into more of a mysterious vocal delivery while making her way over to the hook. A fluttery string-like synth plops down alongside Michelle's vocals to amplify the song's reflective lyrical theme. Expanding on Michelle's lyricism, she lets us know that she's perfectly imperfect while striving to quit focussing on what she thinks needs changing. We admire this song's message, as it reminds listeners to love themselves wholeheartedly. Moving into track number three, "Sensitive," this song begins with Demi Michelle's powerful vocal alongside another haunting electro-pop introduction. As the sonics begin to heat up on the first verse, Demi Michelle's background vocals start to pour in to amplify the song's heavy atmosphere. Listening to Michelle's lyrical content, she touches on wanting to trust those who walk in her life but is plagued with her sensitive emotions that get hurt easily. This song doesn't feature much in terms of instrumentation; it's more of a reflective and mysterious sonic landscape that emphasizes Michelle's lyrical message. The next track, "Be Yours," takes a spot in our hearts right off the bat. As Demi Michelle begins to pour her emotions through our speakers with her vibrant and colorful vocal portrayal, the soothing piano melodies begin to seep into our ears while enhancing the song's emotion. As Demi Michelle makes her way over to the hook, she wears her heart on her sleeve and exclaims her love for someone special. While yearning for their love and touch, Demi Michelle offers a deeply charismatic performance to emphasize her limitless passion. The soothing acoustic guitar, minimal synths, and soft piano melodies end the song on a highly passionate note. Continuing through the project, we're met with the fifth track, "Nobody Like Me," which takes off with an exciting string-like synth arrangement and Demi Michelle's energetic vocal delivery. We love Michelle's synchronized melodies with the background synths; she truly demands our attention with her creative and innovative takes on modern pop. As Michelle continues to serenade us with nothing but heart and soul, she expands on incredibly confident themes of knowing that she's the perfect match for someone she has her eye on. The hip-hop-inspired drums offer another intriguing aspect while rounding out the song to be a modern listening experience. Reaching the album's halfway point with "Obvious," the track kicks off with a sultry and energetic sonic soundscape while Demi Michelle enlightens someone special that she couldn't be more obvious when displaying her love and affection for them. We love the sweltering pop sonics, as their anticipation is stimulating and leads us to the captivating hook. While Demi Michelle opens her heart and explains how deeply she feels for this person, the smooth and sensual sonics continue to take us on a brilliant journey through the experience of yearning for someone's love. We also love the electronic inclination of this single; it rounds out the album perfectly. The album's seventh track, "Can't Get Over You," begins with a plucky guitar-like synth that sets the song's ominous and mysterious tone. As the bright and luminous keys begin to rain down from above, Demi Michelle jumps in and douses us with her fiery and energetic performance. We must mention that Demi Michelle's articulation and pronunciation are impeccable; we're able to understand each lyric she delivers flawlessly. The song's title is rather self-explanatory; Michelle goes into depth with her rhythmic lyrical delivery while expanding on the tragedies someone's love put her through. That said, she still holds a profound desire for this person after many attempts to get over them. Continuing the same heartfelt theme with the next track, "Since I Met You," the song kicks off with Demi Michelle's bright vocals alongside an exciting electro-pop arrangement that glimmers and gleams with nothing but excitement. As Demi Michelle makes her way over to the hook, she expands on how she wishes to leave a relationship in the past. The hook brings listeners through the relatable experience of being over love and never asking for the big old mess that comes with a breakup. This track offers the perfect amount of sass, attitude, and vulnerability to effectively impact the listener. Reaching the project's final tracks, we land on the ninth piece, "I Don't Know Why," which starts with a beaming and energetic synth arrangement that brings us into the lively atmosphere of contemporary pop. Demi Michelle's vocal appearances have been nothing but powerful and head-turning throughout this album, and this track is no exception. As she continues to serenade us with her passionate vocals, she expands on the relatable theme of wondering why the love she offers is never enough. It's interesting how Michelle sings such a vulnerable message over the energetic and uplifting sonics, as it adds a level of authenticity to the record. Nestling into the project's 10th track, "Find Love," we're welcomed with a soothing acoustic guitar melody that foreshadows the forthcoming soothing performance from Demi Michelle. As she begins to display her magnetic and heartfelt vocals, she later delves into passionate lyrics about waiting however long it takes to be with the one. This is the perfect song to close out the album, as we heard Michelle expand on past relationships, new attempts at love, and her lingering emotions that sometimes get in the way. With the addition of twangy country guitars and soft drum arrangements, the song takes us through a passionate and optimistic listening experience. Landing on the album's outro track, "Will I Ever (Acoustic)," the song opens with the same bright melody yet through a passionate and soothing acoustic guitar. As Demi Michelle takes the track by storm with her soft and breathy vocals, she puts a more heartfelt and sincere spin on the original introductory track and lead single. We adore this honest and genuine approach to the original lively single, as it has a way of emphasizing Michelle's lyricism even more than the initial sonic production. This song is the perfect way to close the album; since it began with a more energetic version of this song, the acoustic version perfectly sums up the entire album's emotion, wonder, and passion. Experience the pure and passionate emotion of Demi Michelle's latest 11-track album, 'Dear Diary,' now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Demi Michelle, and congratulations on releasing your emotional 11-track album, 'Dear Diary.' What inspired you to create this honest and passion-filled project? First, thank you so much! I can't believe Dear Diary is finally out. This is an album that I had to write for myself. Over the past two years, I've felt super weighed down by many of my thoughts, feelings, and insecurities. I turn to songwriting when I have to work through things, so that's what I did for the songs on the album. All of the songs are so personal and meaningful to me, so I decided to call the album Dear Diary. I truly think of each of the songs as musical diary entries. It takes a lot to open up and wear my heart on my sleeve, but I found the courage to share my story through writing, recording, and releasing this project. Did you work with any producers and musicians to help bring your album, 'Dear Diary,' to life? Who helped you out during this process? I have so many special people to thank. I couldn't have created 'Dear Diary' and everything surrounding it without them. I'll start with the album itself. Even though I wrote all the songs 100 percent myself, I didn't bring these songs to life alone. I want to thank my incredible producer, Robert McCutcheon, for working on this project with me. He let me be super hands-on in the studio and during the mixing process, and I'm so grateful for that. Also, a huge thank you to my friend and guitarist, Luke Wood. He played on "Find Love" and "Will I Ever (Acoustic)." Luke and I have so much fun when we're recording together, so I'm glad he was part of 'Dear Diary.' Next, I would like to thank the other artists who were part of this project. First, thank you to my two photographers: Austin Lange Photography, who shot the photo on the album artwork, and Lonigro Photography, who shot all my Dear Diary press photos and the photos that are found inside the physical CD and on the back cover. I would love to thank my graphic designers as well. Rebecca Scassellati designed the album art, and my good friend, Eddie Davis, designed the other four pieces of artwork found on the physical CD and other promotional graphics. Also, a huge thank you to Lily Gongaware for creating my merch design and lyric graphics. I'm so blessed for everyone who played a part in making 'Dear Diary' such a special release. Which song from 'Dear Diary' is your personal favorite? Why do you feel so drawn to that track in particular? This is such a hard question because I love all the songs, but I'd have to say my overall favorite is "Will I Ever." This was the album's lead single and definitely one of my favorite songs I've ever written. I'm so drawn to this one because the message is so real for me. I've never been in a serious relationship, so falling in love is something I wonder about a lot. I connect to this song as much as I did when I wrote it, so it's a special one. Also, "Will I Ever" is what really sparked butterflies being a part of my brand. The second verse has the lyrics: "I fall for dreams, trust butterflies, keep counting my clouds, but they don't add to nine." Those lyrics alone led me to tie butterflies into the single cover art, which snowballed to being part of my merch design, my fanbase being called Butterflies, and more. This was unexpected, which is what's most special. Also, the whole meaning surrounding butterflies is so inspiring and fits 'Dear Diary.' I feel like I've gone through a metamorphosis of my own through creating 'Dear Diary.' Butterflies symbolize growth and breaking through the darkness and into the light. They're very colorful and give a sense of wonder and imagination. I never dreamed a single lyric from a song I love could lead to so much. "Will I Ever" will always be one of my favorite songs. I even released the acoustic version as a bonus track on Dear Diary, which captures the raw vulnerability of the song. This song made me realize that it's okay to open up about very personal things in my music, so writing it was a major turning point for me creatively as well. All in all, "Will I Ever" is such a meaningful song to me. What impact do you hope to make on the listener with your album, 'Dear Diary?' I hope my listeners realize that it's okay to talk about their difficult thoughts and feelings. I hope they also recognize that it's okay to accept that they have insecurities because we all do. For such a long time, I felt ashamed talking about my emotions and insecurities. I thought I had to hide it all and always put on a happy face and pretend everything was fine. I wrote Dear Diary because I had to heal, and through writing the album, I went on a journey of self-discovery. I allowed myself to feel what I needed to feel and reflect on my thoughts and feelings. Self-reflection is so critical, and I've grown stronger over the past two years. So, I hope my listeners can embrace my story and go on their own journeys of healing and self-discovery, whatever those might be for them. Dear Diary isn't mine anymore. It's out there in the world to inspire. How does this record represent you and your artistic brand? How can we get to know you better and more personally through the 'Dear Diary' album? 'Dear Diary' is authentically me. I poured my heart and soul into this album, so what you hear is from a place of truth. This fits my brand perfectly because I believe it's extremely important to write, record, and release music that is meaningful to me. I aim to be authentic and honest, and staying true to myself in my music is something I always do. No matter where my music goes in the future, no matter what genre my upcoming music falls into or what the lyrical concept is, I promise every single song will be meaningful and personal to me. That is the common thread found in all of my music. I hope that by doing this, my fans and listeners know that I'll never stop being authentic and sharing my story through my music. 'Dear Diary' is just the beginning of that, and I'm so glad this project is out because I hold it close to my heart. Instagram Facebook

The singer-songwriter, vocalist, and dynamic recording artist Lotus Kay releases an abundance of emotion with her debut 6-track album entitled 'Feelings on Display.' Lotus Kay's music isn't the only intriguing factor about her; she's also a writer and author published in various media outlets like Kindness Magazine, Thrive Global, New Leaves, Light of Consciousness Voya: Voice of Youth Advocates, and more. Recently releasing her debut album, 'Feelings on Display,' listeners are able to introduce themselves to Lotus Kay's unique sound as she quite literally puts her feelings on display for the world to hear and experience. We're impressed with the authentic feel of this album, as it's truly like nothing you've ever heard before. Hitting play on the album, we're welcomed into the introductory track, "Heartbreaker Boy," which opens with a snazzy drum beat and bright electric guitar melodies alongside a plucky bassline and Lotus Kay's raw and emotional vocals. As she begins to enlighten listeners on her experience with turbulent love, we move over into the hook where Lotus Kay merges genres like grunge, pop, and alt-rock with her captivating instrumentals and equally engaging vocal performance. We love this track's passionate and anthemic feel, as it's the perfect way to kickstart the project. Moving into the next track, "Little Miss Rebellious," we feel a compelling ballad coming on, especially as the song opens with a melancholy piano melody that moves into the first verse. As Lotus Kay makes her vocal appearance, she begins to peacefully sing the tale of little miss rebellious, who's constantly told to follow the rules and not make a scene. We love the empowering feeling of this track, especially as Lotus Kay's vibrant instrumentals pick up the energy and passion on the hook to demonstrate the trials and tribulations of someone who was constantly put in the background. Onto track number three, "Droppin' Like Flies," this song opens with a brighter piano melody and Lotus Kay's rhythmic vocal performance. As she begins to merge genres like hip-hop, alternative, and jazz, we feel this refreshing sensation grace our speakers once we meet with the chilling hook. As Lotus Kay continues to sing of the haters dropping like flies, she makes it clear that she couldn't care less about those who attempt to bring her down. We adore the attitude and sass that Lotus Kay delivers in this track, as it puts her on the map as a force to be reckoned with. Passing the album's halfway point with "Dirty Little Secret," this song opens on a more haunting and alluring note with plucky electric guitar melodies and radiant background pads. As we drift into the verse, an array of keyboard and synth melodies drench our speakers in passion and lust, especially once Lotus Kay's vocals appear. She proceeds to hold our hands and take us into an alluring sonic atmosphere that's equally matched with her whispery and airy vocal stylings that sing a desirous and mysterious message. This song might just be our favorite off the album, as it serves equal amounts of passion and revenge for a gripping experience. Spicing up the album's energy is the fifth track, "Irrelevant Information," which opens with Lotus Kay's lively vocal portrayal right off the bat. Accompanied by a smooth acoustic guitar, Lotus Kay jumps into her lyrics surrounding not caring about the irrelevant information given by others. As the upbeat piano melodies and warm drum breaks begin to bounce through our speakers, Lotus Kay moves and grooves with her rhythmic vocal approach while blocking out the negativity and powerfully emphasizing how she lives her life unapologetically. Landing on the album's final and outro track, "Rule The World," the song opens with a warm and nostalgic keyboard melody that drops into a powerful and mysterious atmosphere. Lotus Kay later sings of feeling sick of the haters who bring her down and attempt to tell her what to do. On the hook, Lotus Kay reminds us not to worry because one day, she'll be ruling the world with her powerful, conceptual, and authentic tunes. As she makes her way to the song's end, Lotus Kay leaves us feeling inspired to live life how we want to and steer away from those who try to bring us down. Do yourself a favor and get your dose of inspiration from Lotus Kay's debut album, 'Feelings on Display,' now available on all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Lotus Kay! Congratulations on the release of your debut album, 'Feelings on Display.' What inspired you to write and create this dynamic project? A lot of the songs on this particular album I wrote when I was pretty young, going all the way back to 13. And it was what I needed to write to get through the times I was going through needing to build my own confidence. Did you work with any producers or musicians to help navigate the sonics and instrumentals within 'Feelings on Display?' Yes, I worked with a local musician and mentor. We figured out a cool way to make the music, although I didn’t have a traditional way of writing songs, I don’t really play an instrument, just with the lyrics and melodies I came up with, we found a cool way of matching it with production. What was it like writing your lyrics for the songs in 'Feelings on Display?' Was it easy for you to put your 'Feelings on Display?' Well, the first draft is always for you first. So saying exactly how I felt was easy for me when the songs are for myself. As for putting them out, I had a lot of fear, but once it was out it suddenly became a lot easier to start sharing now that I’ve done it. If you could describe the overall sound and genres within 'Feelings on Display,' what would you say? Pop, since I love catchy hooks, and since I’m a lyricist and most focused on the lyrical aspect of my music, it makes it so you can hear some rap elements, sort of a slam poetry thing. And you can hear some R&B elements since I like to keep everything within the rhythm, as well as classic singer-songwriter elements. Even a bit alternative indie, because it’s not trying to be any particular set genre. A lot of people have a sound they are going for, “I want it to be this genre, sound like this person.” For me I just let it be its own thing. Is there a song on 'Feelings on Display' that's the most personal to you and closest to your heart? Probably Little Miss Rebellious. It definitely tells a bit of my own story and I hope it can relate to other people's. I was a really shy kid and it’s a song about breaking out of your shell and speaking your truth. And it’s something definitely personal to me and my journey. Instagram Twitter
