We adore the playful and confident vibe of your latest single, "Dial Tone." What inspired you to write a song about being uninterested in someone's dull ways? Thank you! And I hate to say it but… experience lol. It seems I’ve been caught in many-a-conversations recently that I wished I could have “hung up on”, so to say. And my go-to way of pouring out my frustration is in the form of a song, so “Dial Tone” was born! How did you want to make the listener feel after listening to the groovy instrumentals and playful lyrical content in "Dial Tone?” What did you want them to feel and experience? Well, I definitely want the listener to have fun while listening to this track. It’s a playful party tune laced with sass, so I hope it makes people feel like having a good time or telling it like it is. If either one of those emotions pops up, then the song is doing what it’s supposed to. Did you work with any producers or musicians to help bring "Dial Tone" to life? What was that process like behind the scenes? Yes! This song would not be what it is without my producer Jeff Dalziel and co-writers Jesse Slack and Daryl Scott. They truly are a talented bunch. This song is a pandemic recording, so the behind-the-scenes secret is that every part was tracked separately from each musician’s home, and written over zoom. Very different from how I would normally go about bringing a song to life. But I’m thrilled with how Jeff made everything sound. It’s amazing what we can pull off over the internet these days. Do you usually release such spirited and feel-good tracks like "Dial Tone?” Are confident and playful songs like this a usual occurrence for you? Honestly, not really! Lol. I tend to fall under the “sad/chill” aesthetic when it comes to writing music. Which hey, I definitely love. But I’m happy that more upbeat stuff is coming out of me as well. It’ll be nice to have a fun party tune to play at shows and for people to sing along to. I guess all I needed was some real-life inspiration! Instagram Artist Website

Canadian artist Darwin Topz has his sights set on perfecting his craft and overall artistry. With a desire to consistently evolve and grow his sound, Darwin Topz hopes himself and his music are representative of his impassioned musical soul. Darwin Topz's music can be described as an eclectic take on the trap music scene, as he extracts influence from artists such as A$AP Rocky, Mac Miller, and Future, all while embedding his own impactful twist. The latest track that Darwin Topz released was titled, "Self Love," and it proved to have a considerable flow from Darwin Topz himself. The concepts of self-love and being self-made are two heavily present reiterations throughout the song, solidifying the overall theme of "Self Love." The single takes on both an underground rap style and modern flairs from today's hip/hop scene. That quality vibe is present as a result of Darwin Topz's insane wordplay. With his utterly clever wit, Darwin Topz was able to say quite a few one-liners in "Self Love" that will definitely get a listen thinking. All in all, "Self Love" was truly a delivery of Darwin Topz's witty charm, as he strategically arranged each and every lyric in the track so that it served his ultimate entertaining purposes. Soon you'll be able to catch more vivid soundscapes from Darwin Topz, as well as visuals with his recent experimentation with videography. Let's start off by chatting more about the inspiration you received in order to write the lyrics of the track. What went about during the writing stage that made you choose and arrange each lyric in the way you did? The song came about in a really organic way. I had been going through a period of time where I was lacking inspiration. Since I hadn't been making a ton of music during that time, I had been devoting my time to taking care of myself. I was really focusing on "self love." One day I had enough of this lack of creativity in my life so I put on a random beat as I began my shower, and decided I would freestyle until I found inspiration for a song. The first beat that played was the beat I used for "self love," and the first thing I freestyled was the chorus. It almost felt like a reward for the hard work I'd been putting into bettering myself as a person. After the chorus had been freestyled the rest of the song came easily. I ended my shower and had the song finished in under 20 minutes. I'm all about catching a vibe in my more upbeat songs so I did not focus on the lyrics too much in the verses. I'm heavily influenced by trap music and that certainly influenced the style and lyrics of this song. The chorus has a great takeaway message and the verses are something to get hype and party to. If there was one takeaway message each listener could extract from "Self Love," which were you hoping it was? The main message is of course to take care of yourself and give yourself love. It's rare that a trap-style song comes with a title like "Self Love." I'm trying to make trap-type music without the negative messages and influences that listeners are left with when they listen to trap music. It's not something I've mastered yet but I definitely got a lot closer with this song. The chorus is the part of the song that most people will remember, and it's the part with the best message. Another message I'd like people to receive is that hard work really pays off. It's an obvious message but people still need to hear it. I remade this song and video more than once and it was scary because I didn't know if I'd achieve the final product I wanted, but the hard work did pay off. What do you believe was the most versatile component to "Self Love?” The song has a medium-range tempo so it can be listened to in multiple settings from driving in the car to a party or anything in between, it also means people can enjoy it in multiple moods. On top of that, it also has a mix of melodic hip hop as well as faster rapping, which allows for a wider variety of listeners. Can listeners expect your future music to share a similar style to that presented in "Self Love?” My sound varies depending on my mood, circumstance, and what I'm writing about. However, I have two main sounds that a vast majority of my songs fall under in some way or another. The first is a melodic trap style sound which self-love definitely fits under. The second is a more lyrical and complex style of writing. Both of these styles cast a large umbrella of different sounds and styles that I can experiment with, this allows me to remain versatile while still carving a unique and distinguishable niche for myself. It's safe to say that most of my future songs will fall somewhere under that umbrella. What's next for you? My main focus is to become a master of my craft. I want to be fluent in writing, recording, mixing, mastering, and producing. I'm well on my way but I definitely haven't the 10 thousand hours they say you need to put in to become a master. In terms of releasing more music, I have a number of singles locked and loaded at the moment. My plan is to drop those simultaneously and then follow up with the album I'm working on with the other members of the artist collective I'm a part of, and then drop a solo album after that. I'm also in the process of starting my clothing brand which will debut this winter, but I don't want to say too much about that at the moment. Instagram

From Montreal to Toronto, the Jamaican rapper, multi-instrumentalist, and hip-hop artist Reno Valay releases a hard-hitting and blazing single entitled "Just Another Story." After learning the piano at the age of seven, Reno Valay later became entrenched in co-writing and filming, so much so that he starred in a documentary entitled I Love Burgz. Falling in love with writing and recording music, Reno Valay went on to create smash hits and host gigs around Toronto to put his name on the map. With inspirations like 2Pac, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar, it's no wonder why Reno Valay creates such heavy and powerful anthems, especially his latest single, "Just Another Story." The single takes listeners through rather intense and serious scenarios that amplify Reno Valay's innate passion and power. Without further ado, let's get to the goods. Taking a listen to "Just Another Story," the track kicks off with a sparkling synth arrangement that brings us into a powerful and explosive sonic atmosphere right off the bat. As the tappy and crisp drum breaks begin to pound through our speakers, Reno Valay jumps into his dominant flow while demanding our attention and delivering the utmost powerful and intense bars. We love the hard-hitting feel of this single, as it leaves us nodding our heads to Reno Valay's authoritative and attention-commanding flow. We must also mention Valay's unique rhythmic delivery; he truly takes us by surprise with each bar and lyric that tells an intense story, leaving us feeling invigorated and stimulated. Get a power boost from Reno Valay's latest anthemic single, "Just Another Story," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Reno Valay, we're totally impressed with your authoritative and attention-commanding performance in your latest single, "Just Another Story." What inspired your intense lyrical content in this track? I remember hearing about the passing of King Von. At the time I was really getting into his music and felt a connection with the stories he would create through his songs. I myself like to tell stories in my songs that I have either gone through or someone in my life has. As of late, I've just been making music I personally would want to hear, like King Von, Pop Smoke, etc. So specific for this track I would say that King Von was the biggest inspiration for this song. I wanted to challenge myself to make something that is not really expected from me which I believe I delivered with Just Another Story. Did you work alongside any producers to help create the sonics for "Just Another Story?" What was this process like? I have a home studio where I basically go through the process of creating every song. I remember hearing the beat for Just Another Story on youtube and I decided to message BeatzByBTeam. At that point, I had completed writing and recording the demo of the song and figured I would send it to him so he could hear how it sounded. Keep in mind he has no idea who I am at this point and I'm just a random person sending him a DM on Instagram. He actually ended up answering and saying it sounded like I was possessed by King Von, so I took that as a win and proceeded to make the official track. When you work with a great producer it can always make the songwriting process easier. BeatzByBTeam is definitely one of those producers that can create something that you can easily write to and express yourself the way you want to. How did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing your hard-hitting single, "Just Another Story?" Well, I had two things in mind when someone would hear Just Another Story. First I wanted to change everyone who already knew of my music perspective and show that I can make more than just heartfelt music. I felt that not a lot of people were really rocking with that type of music because they wanted something more hype or more energetic. I don't believe my music at that time really brought what listeners may have wanted, though it is what I wanted and needed at the time. Second, for anyone new, I wanted them to question who I was. I wanted the song to pique their interest enough for them to wonder if the story was real or even start looking into who could be making this kind of music. Hopefully, I did a good enough job to pique some people's interest haha! Could you enlighten us on what you strive to stand for and represent with your artistic brand? How does your music reflect who you are and your life experiences? A lot of artists are known for 1 sound and that's about it. I don't want to conform to that idea that I have to sound the same for the rest of my musical career. I strive to have my music in every genre of music. Nowadays you're seeing hip-hop country artists and gospel rap music all over the place. I want to have my foot in everything so that no matter where I go, I got a song that can touch someone. I'm striving for people to know my brand as the artist that can do every form of music. My music is a spot-on representation of me because I'm all over the place when I'm thinking. The same can be said about my music, it's all over the place from political to life experience to the street. A lot of my life experiences do make it into my music but not in the direct way some people would think. Something could happen to me and in the song, I decided to talk about what I wanted to do instead of what I did. What's next for you? I'm going to be doing more shows all over the place! I'm calling that right now. They say you got to speak it into existence so that's what I'm going to do. I plan on getting on Spotify editorial playlists and building a loyal fan base that will rock with me on this journey. I want to sell out concert halls and maybe even stadiums God willing. Get my music on more radio stations too because who doesn't want to be driving and hear something they created being played for thousands of people? That feeling is pretty intense when it first happens and every time after that it just sends dopamine surging through your body. As I continue to grow I'm hoping to connect with more people through making the music I want to hear. I'm just hoping that other people want to hear it too haha! Instagram Facebook

The Georgia-based recording artist, rapper, and songwriter D.O.L.O. drops a poised and haunting single with his latest heated release, "Move Differently." D.O.L.O. (Dedicated On Life's Objective) took an interest in writing bars as early as the second grade, so much so that he would often battle older emcees on the bus to challenge himself. After moving to Stone Mountain, Georgia, D.O.L.O. met his newfound brothers Amarri, E, and Ja, which led to the creation of their collective Enfamous Familia. D.O.L.O. and the rest of his Enfamous Familia strive to bring new and exciting change to the industry, which starts with heated and powerful singles like D.O.L.O.'s latest release, "Move Differently." This robust and melodic single is bound to leave any listener feeling like they have to hush their motives and move with quiet courage. Diving into the single, "Move Differently," the track takes off with a haunting piano melody and D.O.L.O.'s authoritative vocal entry that leaves us stunned with his dominant power and boss energy. As the punchy and tight drums begin to pour through, D.O.L.O. continues to ride the beat with nothing but rhythm while showcasing his vocal talent and ability. We adore this track's contemplative and intense tone, as it inspires us to analyze our surroundings and share our ambitions with those closest to us. As D.O.L.O. continues taking the track by storm, he drenches us in nothing but fires with his tightly-wound and deeply conceptual bars. Moving towards the outro, the song ends on another haunting and serious note that lets us reflect on the concept that D.O.L.O. powerfully delivered. Experience the unforgettable sounds of D.O.L.O.'s latest single, "Move Differently," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic D.O.L.O., we love the power and intensity you've brought to your latest single, "Move Differently." What inspired you to create a track about making moves in silence and not flaunting your success? The motivation for "Move Differently" was actually the beat itself believe it or not. I have been creating music and studying the music industry for a while now and I came to the realization a lot of the same things were going on. Most artists were following the trend culture of sounds and not coming with alot of originality. I figured I had to let people know you don't have to follow what's so-called "hot" but you can make yourself a movement just by moving differently... paving your lane. Who created the haunting and powerful beat for "Move Differently?" Did you take part in the creative process when formulating the production for this track? The production comes from a producer by the name of Palaze. He and I have a couple of records together I plan to release at a later date. His sound is different from most young producers these days. He has a certain ear for depth and creating a certain sound I naturally gravitate to, so I always regularly check in with him and see what he has for me so I can keep bringing the heat. How can listeners get to know you better through tracks like "Move Differently?" How does this help us get to know who you are? With songs like "Move Differently" and my previously released record "It's Up" I feel like I let people into a little bit of my thought process on life. I'm always pushing for positivity, more business, and success. Through tracks like these, I sort of layout how I maneuver through my daily life and how I keep pushing forward with different life skills I've built over the years. What was your songwriting process like for "Move Differently?" Is it easy for you to create such conceptual and cohesive bars like this? My songwriting process is very old school. I take my time and actually write out my records while listening to the beat. Palaze had named the beat "Different" and the majority of the time my inspiration comes from the title the producer places on the beat. It makes me feel like we were on the same wave when it came to the creation of the song...give it more authenticity... to me at least. It will take me a few days to write a song sometimes because there are certain metaphors and a certain wittiness I need in my songs. I like to make people think just a little bit. I feel like it gives a song character and I like to properly put it together if I have the time that is. What impact did you want to make on the listener with "Move Differently?" Did you want to trigger any thoughts or ideas with this track? With this record, I really just wanted to let people know you have to make yourself stand out. With anything you are involved in doing the same thing is only going to produce the same results, so adding a little flavor or moving away from how everybody else is trending could be the best thing that happened to you. Might give you some different insight, may open your eyes to something that was always there... you never know. Move Differently. Have people wondering why you doing what you're doing until it's time for them to know for real and it'll all make sense. They'll see why you were moving how you were and by then you're UP and could care less about what everybody else is doing! Instagram Twitter

The Fort Wayne-based songwriter, rapper, and recording artist A Certain Energy leave us with nothing but inspiration through his latest heavy-hitting anthem, "Fake Love." After graduating high school, A Certain Energy (ACE) joined the U.S. Marines and served overseas. Prior to his service, he quit music three times due to personal reasons. After he experienced the unfortunate passing of his best friend, A Certain Energy thought it was a better time than ever to get back into music in honor of the late Darian Asher-Layman. Now signed to Sinclair Media Group Limited, ACE recently released his powerful and inspirational single, "Fake Love." He dedicated the song to those who wish failure upon someone attempting to make their dreams a reality. "This song honestly brought a lot of emotions out of me during the writing process. Looking back at the days where people told me I couldn't even be in-arms-reach of my dreams took a toll on me," said ACE. Jumping into the single "Fake Love," the track opens with a haunting piano melody alongside a warm brass sample that later drops into the hard-hitting and bass-heavy beat. As A Certain Energy joins the party, he instantly grabs our attention with his melodic vocal delivery and emotional tones. Diving deeper into his lyrical content, ACE raps about making it on his own and striving to make his dreams a reality even when the sirens (haters) are blaring. We can't get enough of the empowering sensation that this single has to offer, especially as A Certain Energy offers his attention-commanding performance alongside the punchy sonics; he leaves us ready to reach for the stars. Get your dose of motivation with A Certain Energy's latest single, "Fake Love," now available on all digital streaming platforms. We're truly impressed with your passionate performance and inspiring lyrical content in your latest single, "Fake Love." What moment inspired you to create a song that slaps the haters? Everything that got me to this point inspired me to compose “Fake Love” honestly. The triumphs compared to the over-abundance of failures, the supporters compared to the fakes, and the day ones that never were there in the first place. These all coincide with each other which helped my team and I create this composition titled “Fake Love”. There have been plenty of times where one person says one thing to my face but will do a complete 180 to someone else about this career path. At least earlier in my career. Now all of it has changed, but it still will always be in the back of my mind. So, something needed to be done about it. At least for me to have closure with the situation to let them know that we’ll make it happen regardless of their “Fake Love” or not. Who created the dense and powerful production for your single "Fake Love?" What was it like collaborating with the producer on deck? David Sinclair-Black, the founder of Sinclair Media Group Limited, was the lead producer of the track. Since he stays overseas we took advantage of digital meetings via Google Meet to get the ball rolling. The mixing engineer is Aidan “Ack” Ackerley, and the mastering engineer was none other than Bobby Balow. The creation of “Fake Love” had so much high energy there was no surprise at how easy it was to compose. Personally, it is one of my favorite tracks that has come to fruition in my career so far. We noticed that you also dropped a music video for "Fake Love." How does the music video enhance the song's powerful lyrical theme? The concept of the music video was created by Amir Hussain and I who also was the director of the “Foreign” music video that dropped in June. The idea of the video was to visualize the ideology of “Fake Love” from my position whether it’s from agents, fans, close friends, and relationships. David Coley plays the agent, Jordan Rothgeb plays the fan, Joey Nelson plays the friend, and Elizabeth Isaacs plays the relationship. David Coley, a good friend of mine in the entertainment industry who is a model & actor, is seen during the beginning of verse one. The storyboard here is that everything seems to be going smoothly until a call comes which ends the scene. From there we transition to the fan with Jordan, who is only there for the hype and nothing else. After the scene, we transition to Joey where he plays the close friend. This aspect is extremely important because it plays close to my professional and personal life. Everybody wants to eat, but what are they willing to do to get that plate? Some will go above and beyond to get their plate full regardless of who is feeding it. I’m all about the grind, but when it comes to the “backstab” concept that’s when you know they’ve gone over the line. The visuals for “Fake Love” is something I hold dear to me because it’s a glimpse of why I’m the way I am today. I keep a very small circle and barely talk to many. You just don’t know who really is there and who isn’t without a contract or them giving their all first hand. What was your personal songwriting process like for "Fake Love?" Was it easy for you to write such motivational and meaningful bars? The songwriting process was probably the easiest writing I’ve ever done. When it comes to writing music in general though I stay as original as possible. I don’t depict a false image. I feel like false images are the hardest way to write. It’s not you, so it’s not true. If it’s true, then you’ll know from the way the song is delivered that the lyrical content hits close to home. I have to thank my father again for that because performance is about what comes from your soul and heart. It’s the only way to be original. How does "Fake Love" represent your artistic brand? Do you often release tracks that inspire and excite the listener? "Fake Love” represents my artistic brand as it states on my logo: “The Original”. Like I said before, I stay as original as possible. This is why I write the way I do. I don’t write to fit a false persona. If I haven’t lived it or been influenced by it in some way then why should I write about it? It’s just not who I am as an artist, nor as a person. Be who you are. That’s the only way to live a pure, happy life. I love releasing tracks that listeners do request. I love engaging with my fan base. They’re the reason why I made it this far. If there are a certain number of fans that are going through a particular time in their life I’m sure I was there at some point too. As I said, be who you really are. That can create lifelong inspiration and motivation to go after your ambitions. Instagram Artist Website

Introduce yourself to the new hyper-pop duo _spaces and their debut single, "sad reacts only," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMsuic _spaces. A big congratulations on the release of your vibrant debut single, "sad reacts only." Why did you want this song to be your debut? How does this song introduce us to you and your sound? This song is great as our debut as it thematically represents where we’re at in life and the attitudes we face on a regular basis. We wanted the sound profile itself to be driven, energetic, and heavily electronic without worrying what kind of subgenre it might fall into. What inspired the creation of your electrifying debut hit, "sad reacts only?" Were there any moments or experiences that inspired you to create such a vibrant piece of music? When coming up with themes, kyootbot’s lyrical inspirations for this song pulled largely from her own mental and emotional afflictions and her struggle with managing them. We pulled from the kind of detachment that she, as well as many others, may feel regularly, focusing on the juxtaposition of these negative feelings with our desire for constant stimulation. Could you break down your duo's creative process behind the scenes for "sad reacts only?" How did you divide the process between the two of you? We are both good friends, so working together on this single that we mutually felt passionate about came easily to us. The production leans heavily on spacefixer’s background as a bass music producer, with a focus on metallic drum hits, heavily distorted vocals and vocal harmonies, and bright, airy synths throughout. After the general layout for the song had been formatted, kyootbot wrote and recorded the vocals. From there, we worked together to create an overall sound that we both were satisfied with. What did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing the single "sad reacts only?" We ultimately wanted this song to be an energizing, upbeat take, with an emphasis on its excitable vibes, as opposed to its lyrical contrast, wherein a much more melancholic experience is described. We would want the listener to come to the realization of why the song is called “sad reacts only” in spite of its happy delivery. Could you tell us more about your duo's overall brand and what you want to represent? How does your music reflect what your duo stands for? We want to be a manifestation of the feelings associated with living in and navigating this mostly online world. All of the excitement, anxieties, happiness, cringe, and even inability to feel color every aspect of who we are as well as our creative process. Instagram

From Colorado Springs and Southern California, singer-songwriter and recording artist iBleazy releases a hopeful and inspiring single with an accompanying music video entitled "Note 2 Self." Making his debut on American Idol and choreographing World Dance festival performances led iBleazy to Long Beach, CA. Fast forward ten years, iBleazy has now released a plethora of inspirational hits fueled with endearing expressions. After releasing his debut EP, 'Get to Know Me Pt. 1,' iBleazy gained incredible recognition and secured a loyal following. "The song is a look into the darkest point of my life and also a perspective of what I am currently going through. I have been sober now for nine months, and this song talks about substance and my depression/mental health," said iBleazy on his latest feel-good and inspirational single, "Note 2 Self." Listening to "Note 2 Self," the song opens with a plucky guitar sample that drops into the lush and melodic r&b beat. As iBleazy makes his way in, he melts our speakers with his passionate and warm vocals while singing incredibly personal and vulnerable lyrics and encouraging us to do what makes us happy. Peaking at the music video, we're met with a distorted and crunchy voicemail vocal that reminds us of past pain and trauma. The music video emphasizes conceptual scenes where iBleazy is slipping into a bathtub, representing his lowest times. Later, he's seen emerging with neon paint and running into the sunset to remind viewers to live for themselves unapologetically. Experience the motivational music video for iBleazy's "Note 2 Self" on YouTube, and find the single on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome back to BuzzMusic iBleazy. We highly appreciate such inspirational and vulnerable pieces like "Note 2 Self." At what moment did you feel inspired to write this motivational piece? I think at many times during anyone's artistry you always try to put stuff out there that is going to make a lasting impression, a forever thought or memory. With Note 2 Self, it was a really bittersweet moment. I was introduced to the production and it was almost like, these thoughts, this time in my life, were ready to not be a "secret" anymore. The pen-to-paper flow was very spiritual and almost magical as cliche as that sounds. What I mean by that was the words just fell onto the paper. There was no thought behind the words. Like they had been bottled up, the bottle tipped over and it was word vomit. Anytime I sing this song out loud, I feel my smile and how big it gets and that's how I know/knew it was going to be something special and something that needed to make its way to this earth and your ears. What did you want your audience to learn from the single "Note 2 Self?" What thoughts you emotions did you want to provoke? Outside of just blatantly not giving a fuck and doing you and living your life....the message is that you may feel alone in your dark times, you may feel like the only option is the run with the Devil, but the bottom line is your mental health starts with you and sometimes that start is the thought process and reclaiming that you are worthy. Looking back at the happy times and the memories you are worth this space on earth. Taking a note from your higher being who is working so hard to make you feel at peace, listen to that self. Learn from that self. I hit rock bottom 9 months ago and many times before that, I was ready to commit, be done, hands washed of it all, but I decided to listen to that little voice of reason, and I am so happy I did. Did you direct the music video for "Note 2 Self?" Who helped you on set to bring the video to life? The Video was shot by J Angel Visuals and directed by Zone3. Zone3 also helped me with the creative thought process behind it. We were introduced (shout out to DJ PARRISH) and from the very beginning, it was a solid creative connection. My mind is weird, especially when it comes to my creativity, so to have someone where you explained something once, they listened to your song and had a video treatment within a few weeks and there were no questions or needing to re-explain myself, I knew it was going to be a special kind of collaboration. Between his direction and J's visuals he captured, I couldn't be happier with the video. The first time I saw it, I squealed like a child. Would you say that most of your discography comprises inspirational songs like "Note 2 Self?" Why are you so adamant about leaving the listener feeling motivated and content? I would say that's pretty accurate. Inspiration through stories. Let's be real, I feel like anyone can write a song these days about "bustin' caps," "Drinking bottles with shawty," "spending all this money," etc., I also feel like anyone can write a song that has inspired through personal struggle or life stories, but 9 out of 10 times because of INDUSTRY standards, you're going to put out what society deems acceptable at that time or what we are obsessed with at the time and it tends to be the typical party and bullshit persona. I also feel like as a guy, we are thought out to be the creatures of pure masculinity which is fucking damaging. I don't think there are enough guys out there talking about their feelings, their thoughts, their stories, our bouts with Mental Health, etc. because we as guys shouldn't wear our feelings on our shoulders or be expressive of them. For my guys doing it, I see you and I am a Fan. So for me, I want to be that "other person" outside of the norm, because normal is boring and if my stories can help 1 other person I've done my job. What's next for you? Gosh, what isn't next for me! World Domination, lol! No, I'm ever-changing and ever-growing, so I can't fully answer that, but I can say Live Shows this year maybe a Festival Roster slot for yours truly next year (hint, hint), more visuals, and bringing my dance side back to life in future projects. Content, Vlogs all of it! I'm in my season of YES, so if it fills my cup and has some sort of benefit you will be seeing me participating in some sort of way. Lots of music is vaulted up right now, so we will see where 2022 takes us. Instagram Facebook

The Wyoming-based singer-songwriter and recording artist Jamie Hansen releases a stunning and deeply conceptual single entitled "Mama." Her latest single, "Mama," is the follow-up release to her well-received and fun-filled track, "Waitin' for the Weekend," which helped Jamie Hansen secure a loyal and energetic fanbase. Hansen holds a unique vocal prowess; she's able to serenade us while engaging us into her conceptual, emotional, and dynamic lyrical concepts. Now releasing her free-feeling and heartfelt single, "Mama," Jamie Hansen serenades us with nothing but her tender vocal stylings alongside a soft piano melody. The song's message might seem like your average love letter to your mother, but Hansen managed to tie in the deeper theme of feeling out of place in this fast-paced world. "'Mama' holds a special place in my heart, and I hope it finds one in yours too," said Hansen. Expanding on "Mama," we're met with a deeply reflective and emotional piano melody that sets the song's heartfelt and soothing tone. As distant background pads begin to fade in, Hansen's vocals appear and begin to sing a sweet tribute to her mother, who attempted to shield her from the cruel exterior world. Moving through the single, a warm acoustic guitar makes its way in alongside minimal percussion to enhance the song's bursting emotion. Jamie Hansen continues to sing her powerful message of feeling out of place and wondering why she was chosen to sing these melodies. We truly adore this vulnerable and lonely-wanderer single, as it's more relatable than Hansen might think. Take a breath of fresh air with Jamie Hansen's latest sparkling single, "Mama," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Jamie Hansen. We truly appreciate the vulnerability and emotion you've delivered within your latest single, "Mama." Did any specific moments or experiences inspire you to create this piece? “Mama” was inspired by a dream I had, that was brought on by inner turmoil. I dreamt I was moving back to Nashville to pursue my music career, and my mom was so upset with me. The whole following day I couldn’t get it out of my head, so after work, I sat down at the piano, and I just let it out. It wasn’t just a letter to my mom – I knew that much when I started writing the song. “Mama” is about taking a road less traveled because God called you to do it. I ended up not moving back to Nashville, but I am pursuing my music. This song was somewhat of a turning point for me, you could say. How did you write your lyrics for "Mama" to not only showcase your tender emotions but to be so relatable with the listener? What was your songwriting process like? I think the best lyrics come from moments where you must be brutally honest with yourself. I have always believed that listeners can tell the difference between a song that was written for radio, and a song that was written for the soul. Both types of songs have their role in the industry. But for this particular song, I was just trying to get the anguish off my chest. I wanted so deeply for my family to understand why I can’t walk away from music. I wanted to be truly understood for who I am. I can’t speak for everyone, but maybe that’s why people relate to this song. Everyone wants to be understood. Everyone wants their mom or dad, or somebody they look up to to be proud of them. The writing session for “Mama” was one of the easiest sessions of my life. I didn’t have to think about the rhyming scheme, or what chord progressions to use. It was just sort of sitting there like I had known the song my whole life. Who was the featured male vocalist on the hook for "Mama?" Was he a part of the team that helped bring the song to life? Zach Radcliff was kind enough to lend his beautiful voice for the harmony on “Mama.” Zach was one of the individuals that helped bring this song to life. He took my basic piano melody and embellished it in the studio, adding his magic touch. Zach is also an incredible vocal coach in the studio, and this was the first song we recorded together. I should also mention Chuck Alkazian, who produced this song and did an extraordinary job. What thoughts or emotions did you want to get across with "Mama?" What impression did you want to leave on the listener? I think I’ve touched on this a bit already, but I’ll go a little deeper. When writing the song, and when filming the music video for it, I wanted it to be more than just a letter to my mom. I was almost afraid that people would listen to it for that, and think ‘Oh how nice, she wrote a song for her mom’ and go on with their day. And not that there’s anything wrong with that, but you would be missing the layer underneath. There is underlying desperation to “Mama”, and it grips me every time I play it. It is a desperation to be understood and a need to be extraordinary in a world that tells you every day that you are neither. I hope that resonates with the listener. What's next for you? I was back in the studio this September, finishing up some songs that should take me well into 2022! I am currently working with my team to create music videos for those singles. I don’t want to give away too much, but I have several projects I am working on that I cannot wait to share. In between all of that, I have been working as a camp jack for some elk hunts in Wyoming – so needless to say, I have plenty of inspiration for more music. Instagram Facebook
