What a thrill to have you with us at BuzzMusic Delaurentis and your equally thrilling and transcendent single, "Unica's Cloud." What inspired you to create such a dreamy and ethereal piece like this? It's a song about my digital sister "Unica". She is the main character of my concept album. It is a modern and feminine version of the Pinocchio story. Throughout the album, Unica grows, emancipates herself, and like Gepetto, I dream that one day she will become a real autonomous artificial intelligence. In this single, she invites us to her “cloud”, to the heart of her most intimate thoughts. I wrote this song one summer night. I had spent the day on a beach in Brittany and inspiration came the night after. I started improvising and for hours I followed many ideas, directions, explorations until the song came out. Could you take us through your creative process when creating your dense sonic arrangements for "Unica's Cloud?" How did you begin such an intricate process like this? I started first with the G minor chords with an aerial and ethereal pad sound from Prophet REV2. Then I added an arpeggiator with an ARP 2600 synth ... and for hours I followed the inspiration by adding elements. Then I wanted to put some rhythm so I looked for hip hop sounds drum rack and I recorded a loop. I added Unica's voice bypassing my voice through an arpeggiator and vocoder. The night ended and I had a cohesive scenario! All that was missing was a text ... then a few days after I had the idea of playing with the word “cloud”, between cloud-music and Unica's Cloud. And it became the single of the album! Did you bounce your ideas off of any co-producers when creating "Unica's Cloud?" Or did you tackle this song's creation entirely yourself? On the 'UNICA' album, I had the chance to collaborate with the talented English producer “Dan Black” on several songs and it was a great experience to share our ideas, our different cultures, our sensibilities… And I wrote and produced the single Unica's Cloud alone, during a trip to Brittany. Regarding your recent album, 'UNICA,' what inspired the entire album itself? Who is Unica, and what role does she play throughout the album? 'UNICA' is my first album, a concept album developed over 2 years of introspection with my machines. I created an intimate relationship, a mystical connection with digital worlds, transforming happy accidents into the inspiration that finally giving birth to my digital sister: 'Unica.' I believe in emotional and fusional links that exist between musicians and their instruments and it’s the same for the creators of electronic music and their machines. I perceive my machines as extensions of my vocal cords, and 'Unica' is the allegory. It’s a contemporary digital tale, a feminine parable of the Pinocchio story through the sorority. Like Gepetto, I dream that one day Unica's digital spectrum will be embodied in a real robot and become a true autonomous artificial intelligence. A dream that becomes true with the track "Somewhere in Between" that I produced and recorded in collaboration with artificial intelligence developed by Spotify research lab CTRL. A great adventure supervised by SKYGGE, a true pioneer in the AI world. As the blue fairy says: Make your dreams come true! Artist Website

Born and raised in the southwest, singer-songwriter, recording artist, and multi-instrumentalist Lucid Aisle (Brent Joel Jones) encourages us to put our phones down in a new and hazy single, "Digital Wasteland." Brent Joel Jones felt an inner need to embark on his solo career with help from the blazing sounds of rock while focusing on experimenting with various techniques and recording methods. After forming Lucid Aisle, he began to delve into elements of psychedelia, pop, and folk, thanks to like-minded musicians who helped bring the sound to life. Hitting us with a powerful concept is Lucid Aisle's latest single, "Digital Wasteland." After our first listen, we were taken aback by Lucid Aisle's production and overall psychedelic vibes; it not only keeps us locked in and engaged but focussed on his hefty lyrical content at hand. Expanding on the single, "Digital Wasteland," the venture begins with a plucky acoustic guitar and a broad instrumental breakdown with incredibly soulful drum breaks and hazy electric guitars. As Lucid Aisle begins to serenade us with his grunge-like stylings, he fades into the song with incredible poise, encouraging us to focus our attention on his meaningful lyricism. Lucid Aisle shines a needed light on how society continues to stroke narcissistic egos via social media while also reminding us of how much valuable time we waste when scrolling through our pages and gawking at the facades that will never match up to raw and direct experiences. It's an understatement to say that we adore this song, as Lucid Aisle's natural angst and energy lets us experience the song on a more personal note. Allow Lucid Aisle to remind you to put your phone down with his latest single, "Digital Wasteland," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Lucid Aisle. We highly appreciate such an honest and powerful single like "Digital Wasteland." What inspired you to write a song based on society's ego-stroking, vain, and online ways? Thank you! And thanks for taking the time. The lyrics were inspired by a topic that was surfacing for a while and that kept coming up in conversation with people and friends. Getting on social media-like platforms it’s clear the online world has become more and more saturated with a plethora of content that does not carry any real value and gets millions of views. Like people filming themselves grossly eating food alone at a table or someone popping their own zits as entertainment. People pay to see this. The smoke and mirrors, false information, scams, cyberbullying, excessive attention-seeking, and endless streams of opinions washing over facts and truth. It's everywhere. A few months ago a friend said the words “digital wasteland” referring to the internet and social media. I found it pretty funny and clever. Since the topic was brewing into a song at the time it made sense to use that as the title. In a nutshell, the lyrics are a rough summary of the current indulgences and interactions that continue to drill into the collective human psyche with this digital space we’ve become so reliant on. How did you create your instrumental atmosphere to enhance your powerful lyrical message in "Digital Wasteland?" What vibe or overall feeling did you want the instrumentals to offer? The main rhythm guitar part came first on my acoustic this last Spring. After getting musically inspired while watching this music documentary about Danny Fields, I hit pause and grabbed my acoustic. Started strumming a few chords. So the music and vocal melody formed first. A few weeks later I started tracking, including bass and drums then decided for certain that is what the song will be about…sat down and started writing. The chorus was already repeating in my head and figured I’d fit some of these topics into the verses. My first intention of the overall vibe was at the first strum wanting the rhythm to be something you can groove and dance to. From there I kept giving it attention. The chaotic guitar slide at the end does kind of give off an audio representation of the crazy circus the internet can be. I guess I should give some credit to that documentary I was watching at the time. The song may have never existed otherwise. How did you want to make the listener feel after experiencing your single "Digital Wasteland?" Did you want to evoke a sort of realization surrounding how much time we waste on our phones? There was no intention to evoke but rather just write down what I'm feeling, what's been on the mind and what I've been seeing. An idea will be laying around to eventually grow to the point that it's staring at me in the face. So I turn it into art or write about it. Being in public places looking around and noticing a great percentage of people are on their phones. Who knows what they're looking at but stepping out of the box for a sec, looking in, it’s kind of like some weird twilight zone, black mirror sh#%. I mean I’ve gotten on my phone while cooking or writing to do a quick task like set an alarm and instead find myself under some hypnosis aimlessly scrolling down a social media timeline for no reason and realize… “I just wasted like 5 to 10 minutes of my time" And it interrupted this productive flow I had going. It was a distraction, an intrusion to the attention span. It wasn’t like this in the pre-internet world. We didn’t have televisions and cameras in our pockets. This song is like a painting on the wall. Art is always open to interpretation through the "painting" is pretty straightforward, saying in a sort of upbeat and satirical tone to take a few minutes and interpret the context in this picture as a whole". If the song ends up setting an inspirational tone to leave the digital devices at home and go smell the roses… that's cool! Do you normally create songs with such meaningful and powerful lyrical content, similar to "Digital Wasteland?" What themes does your music often deliver? Each song takes shape the way it does base on what I’m feeling at the time. Songs about growth or enlightenment, love, romance, heartbreak, a psychedelic experience or the chaotic state of the world, etc...There have been some cases I write the music, then go through old poems, find the right poem or lyrics that stand out, and match it with the music. There are some songs I wrote years before, bring them back, give them a makeover and they feel like a new song again ready to record. Some songs can go deep enough that there can be multiple interpretations and may have an abstract and more poetic feel. Others are simpler and straightforward. Like this song we're mixing now called ‘Pedal to the Floor’ which is basically about moving forward, making the reality I choose, buying that one-way ticket, and taking the ride. What's next for you? Currently working on a full-length record. Most of the tracking is done now and the mixing is taking shape as we speak. As that is moving along I’m planning on doing some moving around and traveling starting mainly on the west coast for now. Station in Portland for a bit this Fall while backing on drums and guitar for a great friend of mine, singer/songwriter, Cassandra Lewis. She is also releasing a full length soon. As I get my record wrapped up with the mastering and release, I plan on continuing to write, play shows, and road travel. Instagram Facebook

Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and recording artist Erinn Alissa marches to the beat of her own drum in a new and refreshing single, "Gypsy Soul." Falling somewhere between Shania Twain twang and Colbie Callai cool, Erinn Alissa is an inspiring country-pop artist who never falls victim to cookie-cutter genres. More recently, Erinn Alissa became a finalist in the American Songwriter Competition and licensed her music for the short film "Evie Rose" created by award-winning filmmaker Elizabeth Blake-Thomas.

Allow Erinn Alissa to take you through the life of a woman with a "Gypsy Soul." Find the single on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Erinn Alissa. You've truly swooned us with the release of your lush and honest single, "Gypsy Soul." What inspired you to write this autobiographical piece? Aww, that’s really nice to hear. Thank you so much. Well, someone told me that I had the energy of a “Gypsy soul,” I am pretty independent and free-spirited, and I immediately thought that would be a great title for a song. I looked up articles on the "Gypsy soul" archetype and used that to inspire the lyrics, as well as my own attitude. What was your songwriting process like for "Gypsy Soul?" Was it easy for you to be so open and vulnerable? I remember the chorus came out very quickly and the rest just fell together. I played it acoustically for my sister when she was visiting me and she loved it, so I knew I wanted to perform and record it. It’s funny; I don’t really see this song as being that vulnerable! It is about a part of me, but a few of the other songs on the album are more revealing of some painful emotions I was moving through. But overall, as hard as it is to bear myself to others, I find that to be the most rewarding part of it all. Hopefully, my honesty will allow others to know their feelings are ok and worthy. Did you work with any producers to help navigate the feel and tone for your single, "Gypsy Soul?" What sort of atmosphere did you want the song to offer? Yes, a producer named Max Allyn, who I’ve worked with for a few years (he produced the entire EP). I wanted the feel of the production to match the tone of the song- free, driving with the top down, good vibes kind of day. I think he did a really great job of capturing that. What thoughts or feelings did you want to evoke in your audience after listening to "Gypsy Soul?" Like I mentioned in the last answer, I wanted it to be a “feel good,” free bird kind of energy. Just light and free, and I’m sure many can relate to feeling a bit like a "Gypsy soul" in our rigid and structured world. How does "Gypsy Soul" tie into the concept and theme of your new EP? I chose the title “Restless,” because it was a play on another song “No Rest for the Woman,” and also bc it seemed to sum up the energy of all the songs. The character in Gypsy soul is “restless” because she’s free and wild and wanting to be out on the open road… not caged up or living by the confines of what our society deems is right. I felt like the production of it conveyed that as well. Instagram Facebook

From New York to Los Angeles, actor, writer, host, and voice-over artist Nazanin Nour teams up with Iranian-Canadian recording artist Afta Hill for their conceptual short film entitled, "I Don't See The Point." Nazanin Nour has always had an affinity for comedy and political satire, as she was trained in improv and sketch writing at the notorious Upright Citizens Brigade Theater in both NY and LA. She's also had the opportunity to appear in hit shows like Madam Secretary, Criminal Minds, and Political Animals. Now releasing her 2-minute short film, "I Don't See The Point," Nazanin Nour initially created the concept without wanting dialogue, but music instead. The concept surrounds feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and lack of real human connection. As Afta Hill heard this, he encouraged Nour to use his song, as it would perfectly fit the theme that she was trying to convey. Expanding on the short film, "I Don't See The Point," the video opens with Afta Hill's dreamy and emotional vocals alongside his fluid electric guitar and chilling synth arrangements. At the same time, Nazanin Nour is seen at a gathering while locking her gaze onto the camera as it slowly pans out. She stares for exactly 48 seconds until unleashing a treacherous scream while no one seems to hear. As she later gets a phone call from a friend who invites her out to a party, a look of distress washes over Nour's face. As she jumps in the car and ponders, she snaps back into reality where she's back at a party, only to meet up with Afta Hill, where the two share a passionate and nervous stare. Experience the highly relatable concept within Nazanin Nour and Afta Hill's short film, "I Don't See The Point," now available on YouTube. It's a pleasure to have you with us at BuzzMusic, Nazanin. We truly appreciate the relatable theme of your recent short film, "I Don't See The Point." What inspired your initial concept? Why did you want to create this short film? I wanted to create something that conveyed the feelings of loneliness, anxiety, and a desire for genuine human connection that was being unmet. It started out as a short film concept that I had, one in which I envisioned not having any dialogue, and it evolved into the official music video for Afta’s newest song. I had told him about this idea I had where a girl is at a party, surrounded by people, and that it would start with this close-up shot of her looking straight into the camera, forcing the viewer to hold her gaze. I wanted the viewer to feel uncomfortable, be unable to look away, and hopefully relate with the look in her eyes, her expression, her emotions. I knew that I wanted there to be this loud, pained scream, her literally and figuratively crying out for help, but nobody batting an eyelash because they’re too wrapped up in their world to notice, nor do they care to. I wanted to create this as an expression of feelings that I have definitely had before, but that became exacerbated throughout the pandemic. I felt that others would be able to relate in some way. What was it like working with Afta Hill when figuring out how his single, "I Don't See The Point," would fit into your short film? Working with Afta was very fun and freeing. Freeing because he is such a giving artist, and he supports and nurtures the vision of other artists, so it was super comfortable and easy to collaborate. I truly felt like he had my back. Afta, Kia, and I got together a couple of days after I had told them about the concept, and we began brainstorming on how to expand on the original idea. What was the shooting process like with your team and cinematographer/director Kia Mozaffari for "I Don't See The Point?" What was your experience on set? Kia is a gem. He is so talented behind the camera. I had seen a couple of other music videos he shot for various artists, and I was really impressed and knew I wanted to work with him. He really cares about every single detail, and all of that immense focus and dedication really shines through on set. Kia and Afta had suggested that we shoot a few vignettes that would act as flashbacks. Which would break up the party scene, and would enhance the story. It also allowed a glimpse into the life of this girl on that day, which I thought was a really interesting idea. Fun fact: Kia and Afta came up with the transition idea of the scream going into the covering of the mouth and the ‘sshhh’ sound, and then straight into the water overflowing in the kitchen sink while walking down Sunset and eating In N Out. Very LA. We shot the entire video in 10 hours, and we had so much fun. A few of my friends came through to play the roles of the partygoers, so it ended up just feeling like an LA rooftop party, albeit with lights, camera, and action. Which, honestly, is how most regular rooftop parties in LA are anyway, right? What did you want your audience to take away from the short film, "I Don't See The Point?" I wanted the audience to perhaps see a bit of themselves reflected back to them. I wanted them to see how genuine human connections are necessary for all of us in order to not feel like we are isolated and alone in this world. I wanted them to see that sometimes we can be in a room full of friends, family, significant others, but that we can still feel alone, or unseen. That we should all be a little softer with the people we interact with because while some things may appear fine on the outside, they could be falling apart on the inside. Also, that connecting with someone on a real human level can make you feel less alone, and truly seen for who you are. When you experience a genuine connection like that with someone, nothing can break it unless you allow it to. It’s like what we saw at the end of the video. While people were staring and walking around The Boy and The Girl, shocked and taken aback by two people who were understanding one another on a deeper level, The Boy and The Girl’s gaze remained unfazed by the moving parts around them. What would you like new listeners to know about your music? I would like new listeners to know that my music isn’t a product. My music will never be a monetary commodity to me. I do not make my art for the sake of money and I never will. Unlike a decent percentage of today’s artists, I will never disrespect your time by releasing half-baked ideas in nice packaging. I make all kinds of music in different genres and there’s a little something for everyone in my catalog. Instagram Nazanin Nour Instagram Afta Hill Instagram Kia

We love the exciting and powerful feel of your latest single, "Spacy Kacy." When did you begin writing bars and forming ideas for this track? How long was it in the making? So I actually was in the studio just kinda messing around, then I got an Instagram message asking if I had any songs in the style of fast and furious for a project. I told them of course and I’ll send it over in an hour. I did not have anything like that at all. So I started cycling thru my beats and opened an older folder I had from some collab beats and the spacey beat just grabbed my attention. The first sentence out of my mouth was “my wrist looking kinda froooooze” and the rest kinda wrote itself. I don’t normally make stuff like this so it was a challenge trying to capture the feel of a luxury muscle car in a song all while maintaining the whimsical spaced out sound I’ve cultivated it was really fun just kinda not thinking too much and just having fun it took me 20 minutes to make! What drew you to the likes of DoloDuceDuke to feature on your single, "Spacy Kacy"? Is this your first time working together? I’ve know Dolo for about 3 years now we use to live in an artist community when we got to LA. We worked on one of the first songs we both put out of our Career called DMs and it was so bad but at the time we thought it was so good. 3 years later we both are a part of a collective of crazy good like-minded artists called HiiiTriiibe and have just been training and making great music with these guys lookout for the HiiiTriiibe project coming along with several solo projects from all of us. What did you want to make the listener feel and experience after listening to "Spacy Kacy?" After listening to "Spacey" I want people to be geared up.

It’s now time for you to enjoy the situation that you have earned! Work hard play hard! How do tracks like "Spacy Kacy" represent the music you make today? Do you normally create such powerful, energetic, and party-fueled bangers? I would say all the music I make is meant to make you feel like the powerful and emotional being you are every hmm and ahh is tuned and placed to make you feel comfortable. Spacy is different for me because I normally don’t give in to the braggadocio side of music and party themes so it felt strange to be this bold and in your face. But it felt good and feels even better knowing that it’s deserved because I put in a lot of work. It takes all my friends around me to push me to step into the type-A Leo side of my personality because I normally run from it. It scares me but that’s another story! Instagram

Irish-based singer/songwriter Deepin Pradeep prefers to lock and load his heavy, impressionable sound with even more inspiring instrumentals. With a bold and rich approach to his sound, Deepin Pradeep crafts songs with modern yet potent alternative flairs. His latest offering, "Streetlights," zooms into this very distinguishable characteristic of his music. Deepin Pradeep has released his electronic, rock, and indie-inspired tune, "Streetlights." The strategic combination of all three genres creates an insanely attractive, alternative ambiance. Backed by a more easygoing and chilled production, "Streetlights" hosts a deep melody that solidifies the ominous tone of the song. Deepin Pradeep enjoys embedding thought-provoking stories into his tracks, with "Streetlights" being all the same. Please keep a close ear on the lyrics he delivers, as there's a ton of content to focus on and apply to your mindset.

Deepin Pradeep quickly reaches listening minds and hearts with "Streetlights." "Streetlights" is now available on major streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Deepin Pradeep. How does it feel to have "Streetlights" finally released to your listening base? It took merely a few weeks in the studio with With my featuring artist Flash Kelly. It took a day to jam out the idea for the song and once we recorded it we knew exactly where we were heading. The direction of the song was so clear for us. A bulk of our inspirations come from the type of music we've previously written. I’m more into heavy alternative sound with heavy sounds blended with melodic riffs whereas Flash Kelly purely came from singer-songwriter gashing with bold lyrics. Two and two put together it helped create a gem of a song for us! How long did it take for "Streetlights" to fully come to fruition for you? Where did you extract the bulk of your inspiration for this song? We both have our meaning to the song just like our audience/fans can write out their own meaning to it. What kind of narrative would you say was pushed with the content covered in "Streetlights?" Was there a certain mindset and/or understanding you were hoping your audience would latch onto? For me, it was a very special cause. Growing up in the Middle East every streetlight in every district was unique, you’d know there exactly where the levee saw them. So using streetlights as a metaphor for when you’re astray in life and you’re lost, streetlights could be a friend, a memory that reminds you that you’re not lost but instead you’re really close to home. The song was written during the pandemic where many people lost their way, their mental health, and going astray from what they do and love, we hope this song helps remind you of what you’ve lost, and it’s not too late to get back to. How do you continue to ensure that you're growing as an artist? How do you feel you've grown with your release of "Streetlights," in comparison to other music releases from you? The more I make music, the more I find MY sound! And with the past few releases, I’ve acquired it and slowly improving in it! "Streetlights" is a song that has a blend of different styles and I’m a huge fan of blending genres and trying something entirely new! What's next for you? I’m working on more projects at the minute. My next release would be mid-October which isn’t very far off and I’m happy to say it’s quite my unique sound and I’m quite proud of myself the featuring artist to come up with a sound like that.

When performances, travel demands, and social engagements stopped I watched my own energy settle like an agitated carbonated soda going flat. It wasn't until I had permission to stop moving that I realized how tired I was of going, going, going. The song is a prayer for more awareness of ourselves, a reach for power to stop the dial of time and meet one another in a less shallow, more present, and attuned place. Did "Deep" have any relevance regarding your own personal life? Yes, the song was me watching myself - deep tired, deep hungry, deep worried - for what? Nothing was missing but the ability to quiet down. What was the integral message you were hoping was the main takeaway for its listeners? Permission to observe and meet yourself in the deepest truth, knowing others will meet you there. And, ultimately, permission to rest. Are you content with the way "Deep" was generated? How was the songwriting and recording process for you? Yes, very much so. The melody and lyrics came at the same time and I was singing both as if I was floating above myself, like the ghost of Christmas past (from The Christmas Carol), except me talking to myself. The production started simply, it was just drums and those angel bells because of the melancholy, reflective mood. I introduced the intense bass the next morning because I was like - this message is important! we have to listen up! I think it did the trick. As a vocalist that has an incredibly distinguishable tone, would you say you're one to frequently practice your vocal style, or is it one that comes naturally to you? I LOVE this question. I've taken and taught voice lessons for years so have strong opinions on "natural" talent. Yes, the voice I record my own songwriting with is natural and 'lazy' to me, it is instinctual instead of performative but it has been rehearsed for decades. As a child, I transcribed hours of Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men vocalizations. In college, I devoted myself to jazz singers like Carmen McRae and Ella Fitgerald. After running into vocal problems from a heavy rotation of gigs, I revisited the classical training of my youth thanks to an amazing speech pathologist and a dear friend with a degree in vocal pedagogy. And I've recently developed a healthy obsession with Whitney Houston! in adulthood! The work never stops, you can always sound better, healthier. Always. Singing is a sport. Instagram Facebook
