Cutting-edge singer/songwriter Adam James is here to show off his extensively crafted, raw alternative sound. Extracting influence from various artists, such as The Beatles, Beach Boys, Death Cab For Cutie, and Beach House, Adam James is able to inspire himself with his wide-ranging music taste. The recent work of Adam James' includes the release of "The Willows," which is the perfect song if one desires to understand his experiences spent in Los Angeles and New York. The utopian soundscape created by varying guitars, smooth synth collections, and reverb-fixed rhythms is astoundingly serene, which is able to offer a soothing and therapeutic escape for listening minds. Adam James is known for establishing incredibly soothing and mellow soundscapes that lift up listeners' minds, bodies, and souls. In a specific sense, his articulated vocal style can be compared to the likes of artist Vance Joy, as that same nonchalant, yet the impassioned technique is applied. Give yourself some real self-care by indulging in Adam James' "The Willows," on major streaming platforms. The successful release of "The Willows" went underway recently and the product ended up being incredibly smooth. How are you feeling about the way "The Willows" turned out? I’m happy to hear that it comes across as smooth! It was definitely crafted with care and is meant to be listened to as a complete album. The irony is that there were so many moving parts in my life throughout the making of the album to its release that I’m super relieved to have made it to “game day.” In short, though, I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. It’s my greatest accomplishment…so far. Can you share with our readers the more vulnerable details behind "The Willows" and the inspiration you acquired in order to write the song? As with most of my songs, they serve as a form of the confessional booth. It’s where I go to vent, lament, and express the deeper feelings that I can’t seem to reconcile without musical therapy. The songs on this album come from varying parts of my journey, the keyword being journey. From moving from the suburbs of Long Island to Bushwick / Ridgewood to Los Angeles. It chronicles the risks I’ve taken in life, and in relationships. Moments I’ll always remember and others I wouldn’t mind forgetting. You can’t change what’s already happened but you can certainly learn from your mistakes and move forward. This is your life, do your best to participate, and don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do. The song, “The Willows”, goes back to a time when I realized the relationship I was pursuing wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. It’s essentially about how your doubts can poison the well. As an alternative artist, how do you go about expanding the levels of your creativity? Do you feel that you stepped out of your artistic comfort zone with the way you went about writing and recording "The Willows?" This album was the first time I went into a project without having to fulfill any genre expectations. Other bands I’ve been a part of were so heavily associated with a certain sound that it became difficult to break the mold. So I’d have to say that I stepped INTO my artistic comfort zone, free of inhibition. Do you see yourself working with any genres in the near or late future that are completely disparate from the alternative category you reside in now? One hundred percent. I think the most exciting part of doing a solo album is that I’ve swung the doors wide open. I’ve got plans for all kinds of genres of songs, eps, and albums. Time will tell if it will be gradual or if I’ll be hopping fences. Aside from that though, I’m looking forward to collaborating and working on my band projects again very soon. “The Willows” has successfully reinvigorated my creativity. Instagram

The concept independent alternative band and trio 94RCADE introduces us to their uplifting stylings by way of their debut single and music video, "High Speed Chase." The concept band tells the story of how they met in a rather unique way. As Dave Choi (drummer) was on a routine time-traveling trip to 1994, he was left stranded after the machine broke down. While beginning to build a new time machine, he accidentally created 94RCADE. Twenty-four years later, Trevor (vocals/guitar) and Christian (bass/vocals) were out on the town when their car broke down, and that was the moment they encountered 94RCADE and were transported into the time machine. Recently dropping their conceptual single and music video for "High Speed Chase," 94RCADE mentioned that the music video is like a "Netflix Sci-fi comedy or a reimagining of the cult classic, Weird Science." They also stated that the concept for the video is centered around how the band met their drummer Dave for the first time. Peaking at the music video for "High Speed Chase," the scene opens with two scientists making some sort of error while a code red alarm blares. With playful cuts to scenes of 94RCADE beside a broken-down car, the video continues to blast us with comedic takes of our two scientists spiking their coffees and going in for the donut haul. As the video comes to an end with 94RCADE zooming down the freeway during their "High Speed Chase," they've truly left us wanting more conceptual and thorough songs/videos like their big debut. Catch 94RCADE's debut single, "High Speed Chase" on all digital streaming platforms, and watch the music video on YouTube. Welcome to BuzzMusic 94RCADE and congratulations on releasing your stimulating debut single, "High Speed Chase." Why did you want this song to kick off your band's music career? How does this song introduce us to who you are? “High Speed Chase” was the first song we wrote collectively, and everyone we showed it to (prior to release) seemed to really enjoy it. It has a lot of electronic elements as well as production going on which is showcased throughout our music. To us as a band, it seemed fitting to debut with the song that started our journey as 94RCADE. Could you expand on the concept behind your music video for "High Speed Chase?" What themes did you want to get across to your audience? The theme of the video (without going into too much detail) is basically how Christian, Dave, and I (Trevor) met inside this mysterious universe known as the 94RCADE (which is also our band's name). As you can tell from the video, it looks very much like a sci-fi/comedy short film. In the video, we show how we meet in a laboratory that was using Christian and me for absurd wacky experiments. Dave was also one of the scientists, but unknowingly to us at the time wasn't one of the mad or evil ones. In the end, it shows the three of us driving away together, leaving the laboratory behind. Who helped you out on set for your music video, "High Speed Chase?" How did your team execute the ideas and concepts you had in mind? We are lucky to have a great group of friends who helped us not only on set but also as actors in the video. The only exception was Anita (actress @anitavosk), who we hired for the day to play the female lead. All of us (Christian, Trevor, and Dave) have experience doing music videos and being on set. Due to having a very small budget, we decided to direct and produce the video ourselves. We spent a couple of weeks preparing for the “High Speed Chase” shoot and planned out almost every detail prior to doing anything on camera. Funny enough, this was our 2nd music video for “High Speed Chase”. We learned a lot about what not to do on that first try and despite it being a tough decision; we’re very happy with having scrapped the first video. Without having gone through the lessons we learned during the first shoot, we would have never been able to reach the final product. Could you tell us a bit more about your band and what you strive to represent with your music/brand? This whole project revolves around a mysterious Arcade game (known as 94RCADE) that keeps taking the 3 of us into different realities, realms, universes, times, and situations. This project is heavily influenced by classic film and television. We want to be a band that's branded like a long-running TV series, or movies with a huge cult following (haha). When you see it, you know exactly what it is. In the end, we want to show the world what we’ve been through these past three years with the 94RCADE; the good times, the bad times, and everything in between. Instagram Facebook

From Dartmouth to Toronto, singer-songwriter and r&b artist Evans delivers an emotional confession in his latest sweet-sounding single, "My Fault." After serving in the military, Evans fled out west to Los Angeles, couch-surfing and taking odd jobs while developing his artistic sound. He then decided to move to Toronto and make a name for himself with help from collaborators like Marcus Letts (Yung Tory, Anders, Ca$tro Guapo). Now releasing his expressive r&b hit, "My Fault," listeners can witness a more personal and emotional side to Evans as he expands on how he was the cause of his relationship's downfall. We adore the song's punk approach to hip-hop/r&b, as Evans offers incredible emotion through his passionate delivery while backed up by the soothing and warm sonic background. Hitting play on "My Fault," the song opens with Evans' bright and beautiful vocals while emotionally expressing that he doesn't like to admit when he's wrong, but now is a better time than ever. As the punchy drum arrangements begin to pound through our speakers, Evans jumps into a warm and melodic rap while leaving our hearts fluttering. We admire the emotional maturity it took to create this single, as Evans expresses his deep and vulnerable emotions for anyone to relate with. We also appreciate the modern feel of this hit, especially as Evans infuses his passionate punk vocals while riding the smooth and savory beat. Refresh yourself with Evans' emotional and relatable single, "My Fault," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Evans. We love the raw emotion you've delivered with your latest single, "My Fault." What compelled or inspired you to release your emotions via song and write this heartfelt piece? So much was going on when I wrote this, and it just kind of became a way to get that off my chest all at once. There's a lot in there that references times when I was younger, remembering mistakes we used to make and how we are still dealing with some of the outcomes. We appreciate how you maintained this emotional r&b atmosphere within "My Fault" while adding hints of punk elements. Do you normally fuse genres like punk into your sound? Would you say that your sound is rather versatile and explorative? Only recently I've been expanding my vocals to be more out-of-genre than they normally are. I always try to be versatile when it's appropriate, but having a loud and more aggressive vocal style is something I'm definitely going to keep for future projects. Was it challenging to own up to your actions during your songwriting process for "My Fault"? Or was this process rather therapeutic? It's always therapeutic in a way, no matter how nerve-wracking it might be. This one wasn't as tough as I expected, considering the majority of it is me reminiscing, but the anxiety of it all was definitely there at times. Who created the emotional and punchy r&b sonics for "My Fault?" What was this creative/collaborative process like? Angelo Carreiro made this beat, someone who works on a lot of my music. He sent me a huge pack of sample beats, and I'm pretty sure this was one of the last ones I really looked at. He came down from Barrie to Toronto one night to really dive in on it, and we did the entire thing at Adam Daley's studio. There were 5 or 6 other people in the studio when we made this, which was strange for me, but it surprisingly helped set the tone for the end result. Instagram

Canadian multidisciplinary artist and producer julesdrools invites us on a thrilling 'Odyssea' with the release of his recent 6-track EP. When experiencing complex and intricate sounds like IDM (intelligent dance music), it becomes a more elaborate and imaginative experience that allows the listener to place their internal visuals within the sounds of its music, which is precisely what julesdrools has to offer. His authentic sound dissects the realms of his psyche while emphasizing themes of fictitious places and otherworldly beings. Recently releasing his 6-track EP, 'Odyssea,' the listening experience commences with its celestial introduction, "metal flowers." As the song opens with ethereal pads that float in from the distance and glimmer through our speakers, a soothing sample begins to expand on the infinite worlds, opportunities, and their abundance. As julesdrools showers our speakers in beaming and melodic synth arrangments, we can almost picture a blossoming garden coming to life but with slight crunches and kinks due to his overall fuzzy electronic textures. Onto the second and title track, "odyssea," a glimmering synth pierces our speakers' high end while samples of splashing water quickly grab our attention. As a punchy midtempo drum arrangement begins to pump through, a haunting and demonic vocal sends a chill down our spines while a ghostly male vocal follows up with words like "I love you, always forever." We can't help but feel that this track might highlight a relationship's long and tumultuous "odyssea," that's equally as dangerous as it is refreshing. Reaching the EP's halfway point with "nowhere_texture_foliage," this song undoubtedly highlights the more haunting and eerie side to julesdrools' sound, as the track floats through our speakers with a distant vocal echo while spiraling synths and a massive electronic roar leave us feeling chilled and thrilled. Seeing that this track is the project's halfway point, the minimal melodies, quick drum breaks, and focus on sonic space might represent a shift in the project's overall theme as we switch from one dimension into the next. As an expanding brass-like synth shimmers through our speakers like a ray of light, we transport into track number four. Moving into the demonic sci-fi escapade, "sweet xvi," this track quickly gets our blood pumping right off the bat with its eerie alien-like synth arrangments while a ghostly and low-toned male vocal continues to repeat, "the body is mine, the blood is mine." As a thumping and toe-tapping drum arrangement continues to punch through our speakers, julesdrools grooves his way into the outro while leaving us drifting through the celestials. We also admire how there's an underlying sexual and sultry tone to the song, especially within the sultry vocals that ooze passion and desire. Dropping us into a new plane is the next track, "venlafaxine," which opens with a spiraling and chaotic sonic introduction while a wailing synth melody cries through our speakers alongside a mid-tempo house beat. As an alarming effect begins to blare, an eerie and drippy drum beat grooves through the song's middle while leaving us feeling alert and aware. If there's a particular image that comes to mind when listening to this track, it's the sensation of awakening yourself from a dizzying nightmare to the sound of your morning alarm. Landing on the EP's final adventure with the outro track, "calyptra thalictri," the listening experience kicks off with a crunchy and quick hi-hat that rattles the song with incredible energy. As the smooth and gentle keys begin to float into the song, a distant pad starts to expand with the anticipation that comes with it. As sultry and haunting vocal samples deepen the song's passion and emotion, a ghostly choir drifts in from the background while providing an insidiously stimulating sensation. As the track comes to a crunchy close, we're left in a state of wonder and reverence after experiencing something as intricate as julesdrools' EP. Awaken your subconscious with help from julesdrools and his adventurous 6-track EP, 'Odyssea,' now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, julesdrools, and congratulations on the release of your refreshing, electronic EP 'odyssea.' Could you please go into detail about the shared concept that’s laced into the collection of songs heard on this project? Thank you! I actually taught myself music production during quarantine so 'odyssea' was the result of that. It was a dark time, what with the state of the world, etc, and I definitely went deep into my personal feelings and memories; nostalgic love, addiction, and obsession. It’s a sort of closure and love letter to an ex-lover and to my younger self. I wanted the song 'odyssea' to feel like an oceanic prayer or a sea ghost or something. With each track sounding vastly different from one another, did the creative process remain the same for all songs heard on this EP? I had no idea what I was doing and was all over the place. I was experimenting with genre and some of its more pop. Sonically they all have similar sounds and textures that tie them together. I actually used the same two notes on like every song What main themes are you hoping that your listeners can reflect on when listening to 'odyssea' from start to finish? Perhaps, feelings of nostalgia, longing, love, obsession, desire, addiction. Have you learned anything about yourself from the process of creating this EP? What does this mean for your music moving forward? I learned how to make music. I also got sober during the production of it. I really enjoy creating soundscapes and would love to compose a video game. I have two singles coming out this month, I’m also working on an experimental mediation album, some darker dance stuff too. I’m stoked for this new journey in sound for sure. When did you begin creating tracks for the EP 'Odyssea?' Did it take you a while to formulate such a dense and complex listening experience? I started working on it last summer after Covid first hit. I had a lot of time to myself which was nice but also got a bit dark and introspective. Instagram

Emerging Bay Area singer/songwriter Brooke Amor is here to share the fruits of her labor, which includes her knowledge obtained from the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music in Los Angeles. Brooke Amor explores the depths of various genres, majorly including pop, hip/hop, r&b, and rap. The product of such exploration is impressive, a great example being her recent release, "Orgia." "Orgia" has sensual and flavourful tones that elicit a deep, discernible ambiance that is truly exclusive to Brooke Amor. The various genre styles that we mentioned she dabbled in are all combined in an effortless way that crafts that district Brooke Amor sound. "Orgia" offers real poetry on Brooke Amor's end, and simultaneously, a chance for listeners to get introspective. Sit down and truly listen to her song. Extract what you can because there really is a ton of meaning that one can take away from her words if you're looking for it. Each line in "Orgia" is delivered with care by Brooke Amor, so hone in carefully and don't miss out on her wisdom. Welcome to BuzzMusic Orgia, and congratulations on releasing "Orgia." How did this particular single come to fruition for you? Thank you! I feel like I had been writing a lot more upbeat type music so I wanted to slow things down but still keep people engaged in an interesting story. This song was different for me too because it does not have a chorus at all, it is just a continuing story. When I was done with the first verse I just didn’t feel the need for any type of chorus and I am glad I stuck with my gut and didn’t try to fit a mold for this one. Once I had the story down it was just executing it, which was a challenge because I had never really sung that low before, so it took a minute for my voice to adjust to that range but I am glad it all came together how I envisioned it. How do you hope listeners feel upon listening to "Orgia?" I hope they are confused a little and that keeps them wanting to listen till the end lol. I wanted the title and cover photo to be kind of strange enough to draw them to listen and then you really have to listen to the whole song to get the full picture. I purposely wanted the song to kind of end abruptly because it kind of fits with the story... if you get what I mean. I wanted the song to end and people still taking in what they just heard. As an artist who is known for adding mysterious elements to her songs, what kind of cryptic component did "Orgia" contain? If any? Okay, this story is kind of weird so I am going to try to explain it as short and simple as possible. So originally this song was just about a singular woman who seduces a man and then eats him, and I thought it was cool but I wasn’t too crazy about it. But I was taking comparative mythology class at the time and my professor told us a myth of the Maenads, who were the female followers of the god, Dionysus. He explained that they would go into the forest and dance crazy and drink heavily, and in this state, it was believed they had unusual strength that allowed them to hunt down and kill animals with their bare hands. This is actually where the word “orgy” came from, the Greek word “orgia” meaning “secret rites.” The women went on to actually kill a human once while in this crazed state, who was an enemy of Dionysus. This story made the light bulb go off in my head and I went back and rewrote the song to make it about a group/cult of women that killed and ate the man in the song, based on the myth of the Maenads. After I made this switch I got a way more clear picture for the song and I was so excited to release it. I originally wanted to call the song just “Orgy”, but I decided to go with the root word “Orgia” cause it was a little more unique sounding and hopefully wouldn’t make my little cousins ask me what an orgy is lol. Do you feel that attending the UCLA Herb Albert School of Music is aiding you in the construction of your own personalized sound? Can you elaborate on the work you do there and how it has benefited your overall sound? I actually do not start at UCLA until late September because they are on the quarter system, so I actually have not taken a class there yet. But I will be majoring in Music Industry and History. I attended a different music school in 2019 and was majoring in songwriting, but I made the switch because I felt like it was the business side that I was going to need help maneuvering and understanding as I branch into the industry. I could write songs and make beats all night on my own, but I am less likely to sit and read about business deals and such. So I figured to become a well-rounded artist it would be good to work on my creative side in my spare time and the business side in the classroom. But I would like to take some songwriting or producing classes as electives if I am able to. Instagram Twitter

Abi Mia is a London-based singer/songwriter that works to uplift and empowers her audience with a pop-inspired sound. She packs emotionally stirring lyrics into soulful deliveries, and her debut single, "Shadow," gives listeners a pretty good idea of what this artist is truly able to accomplish. "Shadow" contains a beautiful piano introduction that is soon filled with Abi Mia's deep, emotional vocals. Her vocal pitch is extremely varied throughout the duration of the song, and it's the chorus that shows a great representation of her true vocal capabilities. "Shadow" is meant to portray the narrative of putting yourself first amidst feeling otherwise in order to avoid burnout. Abi Mia explores the depths of burnout and how it can lead to becoming a "shadow" of your former self. Abi Mia writes "Shadow," based on personal experiences, and writes an affecting song in order to convey the advice and wisdom she's starting to take on herself. With an emotionally inspiring story, Abi Mia awakens her own veracity and helps others explore theirs when it comes to self-love. We're simply left encouraged by Abi Mia's anecdotal narrative and we can't wait to see what kind of wisdom she will share next with future music. Welcome to BuzzMusic Abi Mia, and congratulations on the release of your single, "Shadow!" As an emerging artist, how does it feel to finally get this song of yours out to your listeners? How were you hoping your listeners would react and feel upon listening? Thank you! I am very excited to be sharing 'Shadow with my listeners! It is always a great feeling to release a new track after so much hard work has gone into it! Each time I release a song it is a chance to connect with others and I love that about music. As with all the music I love when my listeners enjoy the track, the vocal delivery, connect with the message, and then feel whatever they feel while listening! Each person takes something different away from a song but I hope this song reminds people to put themselves first sometimes and to make sure they still have their own identity as well as being someone else's sister, son, partner, etc. Can you elaborate more on the story you shared within "Shadow" and how you came to the realization that you had to put yourself first? Of course! Shadow wasn't written specifically about myself or anyone person but was inspired by seeing a general trend of people finding it hard to put themselves first in a world where there is so much responsibility and pressure to be successful and productive all the time. Over the years I have seen friends and family working hard to help others and putting themselves last at the detriment of their health and identity and it is so important to keep hold of who we are. I can also relate to this as someone who really does enjoy feeling useful, being helpful, and getting things done, but I did realize over the past couple of years especially that if I don't put myself first and look after myself no one else will! We are no use to anyone burnt out, and putting ourselves first sometimes is not selfish - it is self-care! We need to pace ourselves and keep who we are whilst helping others, this will benefit everyone! What new/fresh components did you bring into "Shadow," unlike your previous releases? For "shadow" we used live strings and layered harmonies to create that Orchestral, atmospheric vibe that suited the more emotional style of this track. The production in general was also more simple than the previous track 'Good Intentions' as we wanted the main focus to be on the vocals and message of the song. Sometimes less is more! How are you hoping to transform the pop genre, especially with the release of "Shadow?" I am not really looking to transform anything in particular. All I am looking to do with my music is to stay true to who I am as an artist and person and be the best 'Abi Mia' there is. I feel a lot of music nowadays falls between genres and I feel sometimes putting music into boxes can limit one! I just want to write and sing how I feel works best for me and for that individual song and reach people through the relatable messages and emotions in my music. What's next for you? I will be releasing many more singles and I am looking to do a lot more live performances now that things are opening up again! I have many aspirations as an artist but I am trying to stay grounded, open to new opportunities, and put in that day-to-day work to build a strong base with which to work in the future! Instagram

Don't miss out on the powerful experience that is Black Wonder Twins' latest single, "BACK IT UP," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMuisc Black Wonder Twins. You've truly stopped us dead in our tracks with the release of your powerful single, "BACK IT UP." What inspired your duo to create this intense and robust single? It was inspired by us letting go of a lot of the stresses going on at the time. Such as a lack of funds, family issues, the fear of an uncertain future, and deciding just to be present and have fun. Could you take us through your duo's creative process when formulating the haunting beat for "BACK IT UP?" What sort of sound or atmosphere did you want the sonics to offer? Well, this beat was made by our good producer friend BABBIS, a gem of a producer really. When he sent the beat over that's when the twin-telepathy kicked in and both of us hopped on the phone screaming “BRO, DID YOU HEAR THAT BEAT THO!?”. The writing process was very fluid and easy. We did not want to overthink it. When it came to the recording session we already had good chemistry with Babbis; it just made the session flow seamlessly. What impact do you want to make on your audience with the single "BACK IT UP?" What do you want to make the listener feel and experience? The Impact we want to make on our audience with “BACK IT UP” is mindless fun or for a lack of a better term “Dancing like nobody's watching”. As corny as it sounds, we feel that it is an important phrase. At times as a society, we get so caught up in our heads without a moment to look around and enjoy the little things. We want this song to help find joy through your day-to-day moments, like sweeping the floor at work, cleaning your room, or going to the gym, etc. Because we had to find joy despite all the challenges we were facing at the time, in order to create this song. We had blast doing it and I hope other people will have the same experience when listening to this song. How do songs like "BACK IT UP" represent your duo and your overall sound? Are your songs usually this assertive, confident, and angst-ridden? “BACK IT UP” I think represents one of the many sonic roller coasters that we can take our listeners through. No, not all of them will have this vibe but a lot of them will present a strong emotion whether it's sad, happy, or rage like “BACK IT UP." We want our audience to really be immersed in what they are listening to. What's next for you? The next thing is to continue releasing singles consistently, nurturing the bonds with the people who enjoy our music, and eventually building a global community around our name. Also, LIVE SHOWS! This is a huge priority for us, creating that intimate experience with our fans really helps to cultivate a strong long-lasting connection. We can't wait to share more with the world.
