Representing Connecticut with each endeavor, songwriter, rapper, and hip-hop artist FreeChains pairs up with Kurupt for their powerful single, "Never Fair." Living by his motto, 'why be the best in the game when you can change the rule book?,' songwriter/rapper FreeChains always held a profound passion for freestyling and writing meaningful bars. Striving to leave the world better than he found it, FreeChains is truly changing the hip-hop game for young rappers and hip-hop heads across the globe.

While rapping over a fiery and scorching hot beat, FreeChains and Kurupt make the experience all the more empowering with their authoritative and assertive performances. Jumping into "Never Fail," the track takes off with a blistering hip-hop beat that takes us back to the powerhouse era of early 00s hip-hop with their electrifying synths and dense drum breaks.

As the catchy and fiery hook blazes through our speakers, FreeChains grooves his way into the second verse while portraying immense confidence and vitality through his in-depth and honest bars. As the track comes to an end, we're left feeling rejuvenated and motivated to get the bag we've been working towards. Chase your deepest desires with help from FreeChains and Kurupt's latest single, "Never Fair," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic FreeChains, and congratulations on the release of your powerful and striking single, "Never Fair (feat. Kurupt)." When did you begin finding ideas and writing bars for this hit? What inspired the creation of this single? My music is really for the hard-working hustlers who are just like me. Chasing a bag and on their way to make it out of whatever situation they're in. My music also mainly revolved around my climb to the top and changing the game. Hence the line, "Take the game keep spitting flames till they put me everywhere." So when I heard the beat, I thought to myself, "I gotta go crazy on this!" My verse took about a week to write officially and even then, I rewrote making sure every line, metaphor, rhyme, and scheme would hit perfectly on the beat. The main inspiration was really my hunger and desire to make something that not only could really be a hit but also relate to the fans I have already built up to this point. Who produced the hefty sonic arrangements within "Never Fair (feat. Kurupt)?" What sort of sonic atmosphere were you aiming for when creating the production? Anno Domini Nation really put this song together. They seriously did their thing on this beat and I'm glad to have the opportunity to work with that team of producers. However, when I was in the studio, I was aiming for a loud banger that can not only be played when you're working on a goal, but also win a huge concert to really get the crowd going. If you pay attention to the build-up after my verse, you can almost imagine the excitement I intend this song to explode with. Why did you choose to feature rapper/songwriter Kurupt in "Never Fair? What initially drew you to his stylings and sound? Kurupt of Tha Dawg Pound's speed of rap really seems to match the bpm of the beat. However, his verse can be very similar to mine as he shows his distaste for how hip hop looks today. "I'm sick of all these b*****. I'm sick of how these b**** n***as tripping. And how y'all give these passes to these snitches." This man is a west coast legend in his own right and it seems like he is proving to hip hop that he still has dominance over the game. "We've heard that "Never Fair" is your biggest and most significant release yet. Why is this so? What makes this song stand out from the rest of your discography? There are two things that really make it stand out compared to other songs I have released. The promotion and the work ethic to put this song together. This is the first article written about my music and it was to this first song that adds a feeling of nervousness and accomplishment. I'm a bit nervous because I have never really gotten this level of exposure before but I also feel accomplished because this is the highest level of exposure I have received. It makes me think "Wow. I've come so far and it still feels like I'm just getting started." This leads me to the second factor: Work ethic. I have been making music for almost 10 years and I have been releasing music on services such as SoundCloud and Youtube for about 6 to 7 years now. This song was by far the most difficult to record. Eight to nine months of writing, rewriting, finding places to record, rerecording, even finding ways to get distribution which I am still dealing with at the time I'm writing this. It was a long battle of determination from the beginning to the end and I will learn from the mistakes I made along the way. Overall, I know for sure that in the end, it will be worth it. What's next for you? As of right now, I'm just trying to finish out the year as strong as I possibly can. Everything I plan on releasing is written. I just need to get ready to put it all together through a couple of sessions. Afterward, I won't release as much as I did this year in 2022 but I will definitely still be on my grind. Best believe that. Instagram

Janice Lee gave a real performance within this track and set her EP up in the perfect way, as listeners get an idea of what she has to offer. "Get Away" had an extremely eclectic production, which was a factor in the song's allurement. Janice Lee knew what she was doing here, and the same kind of strategy was applied for the duration of her EP. Listeners may very well hone into the old-school, electronic style that Janice Lee pushes in "Get Away," and will continue to push for the majority of the songs present within this EP. Janice Lee modulates her tone in the following track, "Wanna Be Alone With You," which encapsulates more of a glamour-pop flair from the artist.

Nevertheless, Janice Lee continues to inspire with her narrative of inspiration and looking past such difficult situations to grow and achieve mental peace. "Remedy" was one of our personal favorites, as it hit a ton of those spots that spark genuine emotionality. Lastly, Janice Lee presents her final track, "Burnin Up."

Offering a ton of personal insight, "Burnin Up" was the perfect track to end Janice Lee's EP. Her lively, gallant intonation was extremely pleasant to be a part of for the duration of her EP, and we can't wait to continue to involve ourselves in her eccentric music style. Welcome to BuzzMusic Janice Lee. What an EP you have constructed. How does it feel to finally release your work? What kind of response were you hoping to receive back from your listening base? I honestly feel so relieved and proud now that the EP has finally been released. We worked really hard on it and put everything we had into this project. I spent a lot of time with my fiancé, Audiowavmusic, and LABHITS to get this tailored exactly right, and it has truly been a wonderful experience. We're all so thrilled to put this out into the world and share it with everyone. As far as audience response, I wanted to showcase my newly discovered sound more than anything. After taking the time to explore my niche, I'm really excited to share the kind of music I feel is most genuine to me while sharing relatable themes. The songs were intended to bond with my listeners and build an authentic kinship. I wanted to shed light on love, elicit a wide range of emotions paired with the desire to dance. Where did the influence of the content within your EP come from? Is there a particular track that has more meaning to you, compared to others? I was influenced by a bunch of music while writing this EP. I was listening to a lot of music all through the '60s up until today's modern music. I listened to Miley's Cyrus' "Plastic Hearts", CHIC, Elton John, Survivor, The Weeknd, Dua Lipa, Toto, etc at the time. The album is a mixture of everything I love and am inspired by and simply pieced all those feelings altogether. "Never Gonna Stop" holds the most meaning to me as this was the first completed song from the album, and the content really set the tone for my emotional and mental focus throughout the entire project. The groove, the uplift, and the overall vibe really inspired the rest of the album. One of our personal favorites from your EP was "Remedy." The song held such a poignant tone and we were highly affected by its narrative. What kind of emotions and thoughts were you having upon the writing and recording for this song? I tapped into my past experiences and drew from that place of reflection, and wanted to create a picture of the journey, a relatable picture for my listeners. I made sure to be absolutely descriptive and paint a connective visual with the lyrics but pair it with uptempo production. The conclusion to the song is ultimately about growth, self-love, and healing, so it was fun to combine two disparate themes and create something we all seem to love. Were there any obstacles you encountered during the generation of your EP? How do you typically overcome obstacles within the creative stage of songs? The biggest obstacle was the mixing phase of the project. I, of course, learned a lot and have developed my listening skills through this process. I wanted to make sure every part of each song was absolutely perfect, which made it hard to finally give myself the approval on the finished product. When it comes to obstacles within the creative stage, I find it best to simply step away and return to the project with a refreshed state of mind. The most important thing is to see the project through from start to finish, so there is a dedication to completion, and reminding myself that everything will come together in the end. Can you describe the certain edge you feel your music has compared to other music within your genre? I would say that the greatest edge I feel my music has is its commercial appeal, paired with its retro, 80s feel. We're not afraid to experiment with a variety of sounds, yet we're able to create a modernized version of what still feels throwback, but also signature. What's next for you? I have a music video coming out soon! The release should be within a month's time. The track will be a surprise, but I'm really excited to share my first music video with everyone. Instagram Facebook
- Catch Kyunaa in a Sonic 'Spiral,' With His Latest EP
From Russia to Cyprus, singer-songwriter, producer, and recording artist Kyunaa introduces us to his versatile electronic inclinations with his latest 5-track EP, 'Spiral.' The Cyprus-based artist began creating music around the age of 13, which later transitioned into a heavy mix of electronic and underground music. Fast forward to today, Kyunaa's broadened his horizons with the sounds of pop, hip-hop, and trap, describing his sound as "Gorrilaz binge-watching Bladerunner with Rammstein." Recently releasing his 5-track EP, 'Spiral,' the project opens with the high-energy introductory track, "Moon Eyes." As Kyunaa's powerful delivery makes its initial appearance, he livens our spirits with help from his plucky and versatile sonic background that brings us all the heat and fire we've been craving. We love the dynamic range of this song, as Kyunaa opens the track with this heavy hip-hop rap while transitioning into a dark-pop atmosphere with his crunchy vocal filters and overall energetic performance. We can't get enough of this spicy and exhilarating project opener, as it perfectly introduces us to the versatile sound and style that Kyunaa has to offer. Moving into the next track, "BassHound," this track opens on a more eerie and haunting note with Kyunaa's powerful vocal delivery and the accompanying electronic sonics that later drop into a plucky hip-hop beat. As Kyunaa begins to dive into the song's lyrical content, he expands on the false realities that vain and self-centered artists create for themselves while biting off more than they can chew. As we reach the bass-heavy hook, Kyunaa rides the scorching hot beat while the sonics pump up the party and pierce us with incredible energy and sonic zest. The EP's midway point "Sleep in Your Sleep," opens with a plucky synth arrangement that drops into the powerful hip-hop beat while Kyunaa makes his upbeat vocal appearance and jumps into his lively rap. The song's lyrical theme touches on the experience of waking up only to find out that you've been dreaming this whole time. We can't help but feel that this track acts as a needed wake-up call to anyone who's lost themselves in unhealthy fantasy or the false realities that society encourages through social media. As the lush and dynamic sonics float in the background and lead us to the outro, Kyunaa jumps around the fiery hook one last time to close the track. Reaching the title track, "Spiral," the tune opens on a more ominous and haunting note through the short synth bursts and Kyunaa's introspective delivery. As he begins to elaborate on how we are all living probabilities and how we must keep our guard up in a world as busy and vain as today, Kyunaa moves into the powerful hook that punches our speakers with a blazing synth arrangement and a hefty bassline. We can't get enough of the song's intense and gripping sonic production, as it's a perfect blend of modern hip-hop, pop, and crunchy electronic music. Closing the EP with the outro track, "Hand in the Rain," the song steadily opens with a lush background pad alongside fluttery keyboard melodies that bring this incredible and soothing ambiance. As samples of rain pour through our speakers, Kyunaa makes his vocal appearance and begins to serenade us with a more relaxed and reflective vocal approach. Listening to his lyricism, Kyunaa expands on the relatable theme of feeling pressure in order to grow and develop. As the sonics drop us into the dreamy and hazy hook one last time, the song closes on this deeply introspective note that has us questioning whether we're doing all we can to be the best version of ourselves. Experience the sonic and lyrical versatility of Kyunaa and his recent 5-track EP, 'Spiral,' now available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Kyunna, and congratulations on the release of your recent 5-track EP, 'Spiral.' What inspired you to create this EP? What theme or concept did you want to deliver in this project? Thank you very much! The main drive for "Spiral" was the situation I got myself into - In early 2021 I decided to drastically change the musical direction of Kyunaa and explore genres and styles I had close to zero knowledge of. This has opened an endless number of paths and directions to explore and has given me enough passion to get lost in for a good while. Thematically, I did not care about cohesion or anything specific as long as it represents the new Kyunaa in a clear way - energetic, bouncy, melancholic pop with hip-hop elements. The lyrics mostly speak about my influences, background, fears, and incompetence that I am working on, a lot of it has to do with realizing your flaws and failures and working on them When did you begin forming ideas and sonics for the EP, 'Spiral?' How long did it take to create and finalize the project? In late 2020 I decided to make an album. Back then it was meant to be something synthwave and dark electro, but the moment that my new pop/hip hop inspirations hit me I realized that I most likely will not be pursuing that direction at the moment so in February of this year I started drafting the ideas, 95% of which were very terrible replicas of the songs that influenced me the most. Around May I had a shortlist of around 60 demos which all had to be ranked and eliminated in a sort of contest of terrible song ideas and so I ended up with a set of 10 tracks I believed in the most. In the end, I think that through the pain of these awkward steps I think I have managed to put together something more like "me". Do you have a favorite song within the EP, 'Spiral?' Could you elaborate on why you're so drawn to this track in particular? The idea behind the songs of "Spiral" was always to make it as diverse as possible, to pack different sides of Kyunaa into it, so by definition there is no one song I like amongst others, it really depends on the mood or mental/spiritual state. "Moon Eyes" is very mysterious and bouncy, while "Sleep in Your Sleep" is sensitive and light. "BassHound" and "Spiral" are more heavy and edgier tracks of the EP, while "Hand In The Rain" is an ethereal ambient song for rainy days. They are all very different, and this difference is my favorite song Did you work with any producers during the creation of 'Spiral?' Or did you handle the EP's sonic production entirely yourself? The entire writing, production, mixing, and mastering was done by me, but that is not to say that there were no people who helped me and supported me throughout the EP creation. German-based producer "Faderhead" was especially helpful in organizing days of mass rebuking which consisted of people I have never spoken to in the past messaging me to finally stop messing around and finish the EP. He also gave a lot of production and song-writing insight that helped the EP to end up more cohesive and effective. How does this EP, 'Spiral,' represent you and your music? What can listeners learn about you through this project? Right now I am making the very first steps in this musical direction that is very new to me. I am very happy about it but on the other hand, there are times when I feel scared and uncertain about what I am doing: "Is this music good enough,?" "am I doing a good job at speaking myself through this music?" But beyond the fears, mental loops, and questions there is a greater joy of being certain that in this exact moment this music and this EP speaks "me" pretty well. It is at times hard-hitting and strong, and at times it's vulnerable and sensitive, sometimes certain and direct and sometimes dreamy and ethereal, I think these sides apply to me as well. I hope that the listeners connect to some of these songs and their natures. Facebook Instagram
- Yng James Keeps His Head Held High on New Single, "Leave"
Giving us the goods by way of Ottawa, Canada, singer-songwriter, musician, and recording artist Yng James releases a soulful ode to new beginnings with his latest single, "Leave." Although James only started creating and producing music in January 2019, he's already mastered his craft with the sole inspiration of allowing others to enjoy the music he loves to create. Living by his motto, if the music is good, it will speak for itself; Yng James's artistry is a perfect representation of this, as he lets listeners into personal and relatable life experiences while keeping them engaged with his dynamic instrumental approaches.

Too caught up in someone else's unhealthy ways? Allow Yng James to help you "Leave," with his latest single, available on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic Yng James. We adore the optimistic and carefree approach you've taken with your latest single, "Leave." What experience or encounter inspired you to create this single? Honestly, the way I feel on Leave is a direct reflection of the relationships I had going on in my life at that moment. Between being kicked out of my home and a very toxic person who was attempting to become my significant other; I couldn’t yell, I couldn’t scream, I had no words left other than, “leave me alone”. From there the idea sprouted. It just became a tale of what I was doing in my life and how it was going for me. The song is very literal, I did that on purpose; I didn’t want to leave any space for interpretation. If listeners could take one thing away from your honest lyricism in "Leave," what would you want that to be? If anyone listening to the lyrics of the song could take away one thing, I would say that it would have to be “Be true to yourself, you only have one life and live that one life healthy. There is no need for any avoidable pain or strife in it.” Why did you choose to create this lush, laidback, and dreamy instrumental atmosphere for "Leave"? How does the song's instrumental vibe enhance your lyrical message? When I always start with a new project, I want it to be a true reflection of what I’m feeling and my thought process at that very moment. In the case of Leave, before I even wrote the lyrics, I was envisioning nice beaches laid back for any and all stress of the world. Knowing that that’s how I pick the guitar style, percs, hats (which I wanted to sound like rustling sand), and everything in between. In the case of how it enhances the track, I’ll put it like this. If the music can put you in a state of relaxation you are more willing to open up to the lyrical message, whether consciously or unconsciously. In addition to that, when the backing tracking is more uplifting it is easier to digest a more serious topic. We get the feeling that you're a rather explorative artist when it comes to your sound and style. Where would you say you're most comfortable in terms of genres? At the end of the day, I feel comfortable in every genre (whether or not it sounds like that genre is out of the question). To classify myself to a genre would not be based on comfort but based on a spectrum of difficulty. The easiest genre of music that I have found to produce for myself is Hip hop with RnB trailing behind it. I dabble in more contemporary styles and EDM put since I am not a seasoned producer of those genres it is more difficult to create the sound that I am visualizing. What's next for you? Hopefully, the future holds experiences such as this one that helps me develop my career within the music industry. What’s over the horizon is unknown but I’d like to keep all my options open as much as I can. In the near future, set in stone, I will be releasing an EP that will have a few unexpected tracks from myself and hopefully you check it out. Instagram

Nevertheless, Chasemill$ dominates with his own matured and refined perspective when crafting "Can't Lose U" and creates a truly original song. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Chasemill$. "Can't Lose U" gave a varied listening experience! What kind of energy were you hoping to expel with your latest single release? The energy I wanted to present in my single “ Can’t Lose U “ is fire passion. The song explains the feeling of not dwelling on the past, but at the same time not losing everything that’s right in front of you. Of course, I had to address it one more time for my fans hahaha. At the end of the song when the hook “Baby, I can’t lose you, I’ve seen it” I am expressing that I’ve lost you before and I won’t lose what I have now for nothing. Referring to loved ones and family. Considering the long history of your artistry, how do you believe your sound has evolved from your first single to the release of "Can't Lose U?" I have come a long way! My sound started on a sidekick cell phone recording. I am able to articulate what’s going on in my life a lot better, definitely because of life lessons that I’ve learned after trials and tribulations. Also after I graduated college, I saw everything much clearer. This allows me to keep evolving in my music creation. What inspired you to write about the content covered in "Can't Lose U?" My own past. Tapping into feelings I felt at that particular time in my life. The song was inspired by A bad relationship in high school that just ended in a way where I wanted revenge. Then compare it to how I am happy with my relationship now. It wasn’t written before listening to the beat, so everything you hear is what the beat made me feel. Can you see yourself gravitating to any genres outside of the genres you currently work with for your music? Yes, I consider all genres. I actually listen to a lot of genres, so I am open to or enjoy almost every popular genre. I love Dancehall, Soul, and Pop. I don’t have many songs in those genres, but I plan on making some in the future. What's next for you? I have a lot coming up to wrap up the year. First and foremost, I have two shows coming up in NY, PA, and ATL. With promoter connections, my team plans to do at least 5 shows before the end of the year. Also, my EP “ $ummer Heartache$” is planned to release this September. “Can’t Lose U” will be the very first song. It does a great job of presenting a theme that you will see throughout the project. The balance of summer heartbreaks, and summertime love. Instagram

- Venture Through the Streets of “Brooklyn,” With Mariessoul
Paving the way for female hip-hop rappers by way of Brooklyn, NY, songwriter, rapper, and hip-hop artist Mariessoul unleashes the eerie tales of her hometown in a new single and music video entitled “Brooklyn.” Raised on the sounds of Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, and more, Mariessoul’s brother later broadened her horizons and introduced her to Biggie Smalls, DMX, Eminem, and Method Man, where she instantly grew a profound passion for the art of rap. After her brother decided to part ways with his rap career, Mariessoul felt compelled to pick up where he left off and venture into the music industry. Now releasing her intense and cut-throat single, “Brooklyn,” Mariessoul also released an equally compelling music video that expands on the scary sights seen in her hometown. While delivering a ferocious and heated vocal delivery, Mariessoul leaves us in a state of shock with help from her accompanying visuals. Hitting play on the single, “Brooklyn,” the track opens with a plucky guitar sample and crisp drum breaks that set the song’s moody and intense tone.

Dressed to the nines in her beige trench coat and Dior pendant, Mariessoul and her confidence beam through her performance like a bright sun-ray.

Take a virtual trip to “Brooklyn” with Mariessoul’s latest single and music video, available on YouTube and all digital streaming platforms. Thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic Mariessoul. What an intense and punchy experience you’ve given us with your latest single, “Brooklyn.” What inspired you to write a single based on the ins and outs of Brooklyn? I was born and raised in a borough I watched change right before my eyes. When gentrification took place, I watch a lot of my friends and family leave the city due to the skyrocketing cost to live in taxes. In many ways, Brooklyn changed but in many ways, it still stayed the same due to the crime and violence it’s also known for. There are certain parts of Brooklyn one being the projects you can’t go to for good reason. If you're not from there or know someone from there you don’t go unless you looking for trouble. I wanted to shed light on the city I knew and the city I know. Expanding on your music video for “Brooklyn,” did you work with any directors, videographers, or editors when creating the video? I worked with one videographer to shoot & edit the video. I came up with the visual direction of the video. I styled myself although I did consult about it I ultimately choose to dress. Only I could bring the vision of my music to life. What inspired the cemetery scenes in your music video for “Brooklyn?" How does this scene enhance your lyrical theme? The cemetery scene was actually a dedication to my stepfather that passed away. The relationship with shared change my life. He was my best friend. Losing him changed my life. It was my first experience with grief. When I began my music he was always advocating for me to pursue my dreams. Before he passed he wanted to join me at the studio and he never got to. So I brought the music to him. How does the track “Brooklyn” fit into the vibe and theme of your recent 11-track album, ‘The Evolution of Mariessoul Personified?' It fits perfectly into the story being told in each track. It shares a piece of me. Starting from the first line. I left the wound unhealed years later what it revealed brought back demons swore I killed. It’s a metaphor for not dealing with my pain and trauma thinking I can leave it behind just for it to catch up to me. What's next for you? I’m currently working heavily on my next album. I may not release another project this year because I wanna make sure it meets my standards. I construct my albums and visuals from beginning to end. So I want my listeners to hear the growth and difference in my sound as I continue to grow as an artist. I always look to work with new artists and producers. Instagram
- Nuda Brings A New Light to Industrial Music
Nuda is a solo ambient, gothic, industrial artist based in Seattle, Washington. Previously a guitarist for the electronic band Possessed Tranquility, she brings instrumental soundscapes with a feminine touch to industrial music. Now venturing on her solo instrumental electronic project, Nuda, she has been gaining traction in the industrial music community with notable features and performances that enlist guest vocalists in order to blend together sound and lighting for an immersive experience. In a multidimensional universe that brings life to the underground music scene, Nuda’s latest single “The Waking,” takes our mind to extravagant imagery that’s inspired by the weighty synths in the composition. Through the textured layers of distortion, we hear the percussion patterns illuminate in a delicate manner as the focus prominently remains on the progressions of amplified synths from within the musical arrangements. There’s a complexity that’s laced into the various sounds we hear as Nuda’s evolution conveys various themes of urgency intertwined with “The Waking.” The resonance carries dark undertones that dip into a foreboding essence of intensity that further transports us to an atmospheric eminence that is up for interpretation. Notes of cyberpunk electronica are sprawled throughout the futuristic sounds as we further enter a metropolis of congealed anticipation. Gritty with the substance that’s further explored in the musical elements at hand, Nuda modulates sounds in order to explore the full use of MIDI and VST. Locked into the shadowy barrel of industrial sounds, “The Waking” has us eager to hear what Nuda has in store for us next. Instagram Facebook
- Get Caught Up in Reflections of 80s Pop With Xinovia and Aimie Lovett Sommer's "On Your Side"
Residing in Los Angeles, Aimie Lovett Sommer is a singer-songwriter who has extensive experience in the music industry. Collaborating with the Australian, LA-based producer Xinovia, who showcases her understanding through a complex demonstration of her craft, the two have teamed up to bring forth their sonic brainchild, “On Your Side.” Delving into the underworld of innovative Pop, the musical force field that is this single tours us through an exclusive atmosphere that is rich in effervescence. Unleashing a remarkable dynamism through the melodically charged sonic canvas, there’s a nostalgic hue that protrudes through the blend of synths, tightly knit percussion, and mesmerizing timbres that propel you to an uncharted dimension. We’re obsessed with the 80s style Electro-Pop drive that has us clasping onto the harmonious bliss spiraling from “On Your Side.” Aimie Lovett Sommer’s delicately, charming vocalization pours an enthralling essence of magnetism through this record as her intimate resonance pairs with Xinovia’s prevalent production skill set in a way that has each artist bringing out the best in one another. Attaching ourselves to the witty brilliance that comes in the form of lyrical motifs like, ‘Life alone, love abandoned you don’t know what you had. Narrow minds, in shallow water seeing only single paths,’ we get to experience the ebb and flow that love brings into our lives through various layouts of unplanned moments. Incorporating us into the intricately woven significance that is made apparent through budding emotions, we’re thrilled to be taken on this reminiscent journey of “On Your Side.” Triggering our thoughts in a manner that has us swept up in the vivid soundscape presented to us, Aimie Lovett Sommer and Xinovia take us to exactly where we need to be. A huge congratulations on this wonderful collaboration! How was it that you two came to work together on “On Your Side?" Thank you so much. We have worked together in a few different ways in the past. Aimie met Danni when she recruited her as a solo artist to play for Tom Pretty, a Softer Sex Production’s annual All-Female tribute night. Danni at this time was performing under her name ‘Danni Ammon’. Later Danni joined Aimie’s band Loretti as a drummer. In 2021 Danni moved on from her solo project and recreated herself as Xinovia (producer/artist). When Danni began writing and producing as Xinovia, it was a natural fit for Aimie to join in with songwriting and vocals. We are good friends and have an excellent collaborative working relationship as well. Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when letting this record flourish into how we hear it today? How did you two bring this vision to life? Collaborative writing was fairly new to both of us, so we began with several hearts to hearts about what the Xinovia vision was and how our blended skills would work creatively. Honestly, we just love hanging out together and are equally inspired by one another’s talents. Our instinct was for Xinovia to write and soundscape the instrumental tracks and send them to Aimie. This was ideal for a 2020 collaboration since we couldn’t be working together simultaneously in the studio due to covid. It just so happened to really be the perfect process for Aimie’s lyrical and melodic construction. With the foundation and direction from Xinovia, toplining came easily and we are both so happy with the results for our debut single together. Radiating a nostalgic feel in the instrumentation truly fits the entire vibe of this piece! Was this always the plan when you came to the understanding of what this vision would look like? Absolutely. Xinovia delivers each song with details about her inspiration, mood, soundscapes and clearly explains her desired end result for the song. Aimie immerses into the music until a melody arrives, then narrates with lyrics. With such tantalizing lyrics, what does this song mean to you? What are you hoping that your audience can reflect on when taking this composition in? On Your Side is a testimony of undying love that exists across a divide. A love that may be originating from either platonic or romantic relationships, but continues on well past any breakaway or breaking up. Often people who we become intimately familiar with and then distant from need reminders that no matter when we last spoke, they still have someone caring for them and will show up for them. Sometimes that distance can be physical, psychological, or emotional. But no matter what type, love matters and is offered. We will always be there for you, On Your Side. What's next for you? We actually have several more tracks in production with some amazing vocalists lending their talents. During the same time that we created ‘On Your Side’ together, Xinovia had produced 4-5 other tracks for Aimie to write on. These are all still in the working stages but we hope to release the next one in a few months from now. Our community in LA and beyond is crowded with beautiful creatives that we can’t wait to tap into and bring forward with our songs. Xinovia Instagram Aimie Lovett Sommer Instagram
