Welcome to BuzzMusic Dan. “My Heart Belongs With You,” is such a beautifully crafted song that showcases your talents in remarkable ways. Was there a particular moment or story that shaped the song's concept? Disappointingly no. Most of my songs have those moments or stories that ground them, but this one came from my long-time fascination with love stories from the twisted point of view of a dangerous stalker. The TV show Criminals Minds have on more than one occasion had a storyline about delusional dangerous people. I tried to make this song sound like a straight-up love song, but with that certain twist as the seed for it. Did you know that this track would serve as the title track before creating it? How did the body of work come together for you? The song has been a live favorite at my gigs for a few years, but it never found a home on my album or EP, it just didn't fit. So when I decided to release a small compilation of outtakes from other recording sessions, I got in touch with producer Jonas Hammer and we made a new version of the song and made it the big title track for the release. I'm working on my next album and I just knew that this song wouldn't fit on that one either, so I came up with that whole idea of the compilation because I really wanted to release the song in some way. Certain artists have either an easier or more difficult time writing about themes of love, where would you find the ease of the process on your creative scale? In a way, it comes fairly easy once I have an idea that inspires me. There has to be something to ground it, a story to tell or an implied twist. Something that excites me. Love (and the loss of love) can be many things - I just have to find the inspiration and then I can work on the song to make it what I want it to be. What is your mission statement as an artist? To be an honest artist and connect with those that can relate and appreciate what I'm doing. I'm big on being understated, low-key, and lo-fi. I try to keep my songs and my live set-up as simple, as possible, so I can just look you in the eyes and share an honest moment with you. Auto-tune and pitch correction have become so standard that I'm almost sad about it. I'm one of those who prefer the acoustic versions and demos of songs because of the raw and honest sound, rather than the album versions simply because those are just a bit more "processed." I prefer the Nirvana demo boxset to the MTV Unplugged album. I also love the Bob Dylan songs that others can't stand because he sings too off-key and I preferred The Mountain Goats when they recorded songs on a boombox rather than in a studio. Don't ever put me in charge of the music at a party! What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? I'm a good friend and touring partner with Nominated Decade who will release the single '2019' later this Summer. Having heard the song live and a few snippets from the recording, I can say that I'm very excited by hearing the final result. Americana duo Select Captain released a stripped-down version of their album 'Comes In Waves.' I'm a big fan of stripped-down versions and acoustic demos so I almost feel they released the second version of that album just for my sake! A shout-out to cool electro-pop artist Nille Nyc who released the chill track 'Someone Else' in March. Instagram Facebook

Romanian songwriter and producer Razvan Mitroi have released his exciting summer single, titled "Looking for Somebody." His release comes after garnering international attention with his 2020 summer track, "Summer Vibes." Focusing more on lush styles, Razvan Mitroi mixes a very diverse sound that sparks many stimulating feelings for listeners. "Looking for Somebody" has Razvan Mitroi's characterizable, tropical, summer-time feel quality. It is the kind of song you imagine yourself listening to poolside, or in the midst of a road trip, as it has that fun-loving, energetic feel that sets the mood right for such occasions. The vocal integration occurs effortlessly in "Looking for Somebody," with silky mannerisms being presented, which work to heighten the warm embrace the song elicits. The rhythm in "Looking for Somebody" is absolutely freeing, and its melody raves inspiration. If you listen closely enough, the heartwarming storyline will unravel, and might very possibly allow vivid imagery to construct itself within one's imagination. "Looking for Somebody" was simply a fun listen. The mixing of Razvan Mitroi was very particular, and he never fails to impress with his unique style. "Looking for Somebody" was immediately added to our summer playlists so that we can enjoy the rest of the season in pure, Razvan Mitroi-inspired bliss. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Razvan Mitroi, and congratulations on releasing your summer single, "Looking for Somebody." How do you feel that this single compared to your 2020 summer single, "Summer Vibes?" First of all, I would like to thank you for this opportunity and the people who have taken their time preparing for this interview. It's been a while since 'Summer Vibes' was released, and it would be hard to outreach the performance of this one since it started a trend on TikTok and Instagram Reels, but I am confident that 'Looking for Somebody' will perform well since it has almost the same vibe. Can you elaborate on the type of atmosphere you were hoping to instill with "Looking for Somebody?" What kind of emotions were you hoping your listeners would experience upon listening to your song? Because 'Looking for Somebody' is a bit slower, tempo-wise, than my other songs, I wanted to combine two different genres, Reggaeton and Tropical House. I tried to share a happy feeling with my listeners; the relaxing marimbas, the melodic groove, and the tropical vibe made a perfect combination with what I had in mind. Was there a certain strategy used within "Looking for Somebody" that was disparate from when you created your other songs? Yes, of course! All my songs are different, and every single one of them has its creative process and feeling. When I first heard the vocal, I immediately thought about a Reggaeton vibe with its specific rhythm. Since then I have tried to implement my style and to create a happy and melodic feeling. What kind of elements do you believe were used in "Looking for Somebody" that set your single apart from other electronic music releases today? What makes this song special and unique are the organic elements used in the production and the combination of the two genres. What's next for you? This question is a tricky one, mainly because I am working on so many things at once. Building my brand, trying to reach new milestones, working on new music, DJing, and getting media exposure are just a few things that I am working to accomplish in the nearest future.

Tylur Starks has been singing and songwriting since the tender age of five years old. Perfecting her vocal and songwriting skills while learning from her life experiences, she left her home in Columbus, OH, to attend Musicians Institute in Hollywood, CA. Exhibiting the pure growth that her songwriting skills showcase, her most recent single “Safe Place,” reiterates the story of her life experiences in the love and relationship department, as she is firm with her worth as a woman. We admire the ethereal soul that is combined with Tylur Starks’ prominent vocalization as she shares sultry timbres that etch themselves into our minds. “Don’t put me in a safe place,” is the protruding lyrical motif that captivates us as soon as Tylur Starks introduces us to it before her powerful chorus comes into lay us down with ease and grace. There’s buoyant energy that is radiated from the passion she charmingly parades. Permitting us to tune into her needs and desires as a woman who is cemented in what she wants from the apple of her eye, the influential aura that she places in the spotlight has us wrapping ourselves in the familiarity that is conveyed. We know the fervent showcase of talent comes from a place of personal experience, and to us; that makes a song like “Safe Place” that much more meaningful. Caught up in the themes that love tends to display in the real world, Tylur Starks has us simmering in her encapsulating allure. Welcome to BuzzMusic Tylur Starks, and congratulations on the release of your striking new single, “Safe Place.” With the topical themes explored through your honest lyrics, was it difficult for you to tap into this headspace when bringing the vision to fruition? Thank you so much! No, it was not difficult at all to bring this song to life. At the time of the relationship, I was in I felt like I was giving 110% and never getting anything back in return so that relationship really became the director of "Safe Place." When I think back at all of the arguments and the frustration that was surrounded by that relationship it was only a matter of time before "Safe Place" was created. What was the inspiration that took you to the creation point of “Safe Place?" Honestly, it sounds silly but "Safe Place" was created because I lost my social security card. I have a really bad habit of putting things away for safekeeping and then not being able to find them. So when I couldn't find my social, my mom asked me, "well where did you put it?" I responded with "I put it in a safe place and now I can't find it." It was then that I realized that was the metaphor for the relationship I was in. He kept me for safekeeping because he knew that I would always be there for him so there was no need to make anything official with me because I would always welcome him back with open arms no matter what. I did end up finding my social security card. Certain words mean more to the creator than others. Do you have a favorite lyric in the song that holds a significant meaning to you? Could you please elaborate on that? I think my favorite lyric is "you save me for a rainy day" meaning you only call on me when all of the chips are down. The only time you need me is when you need something from me. Moving across the United States, do you find that your sound has been impacted by the other places that you’ve lived? How does your signature style fit into the music scene in Columbus, OH? I think my style has gone from Soft Rock and has evolved into R&B. Although my voice has always been R&B the music behind has not. Luckily, Columbus offers such a diverse music scene I don't have to fit in, I can just be who I am. What's next for you? I have another single being released on August 31st titled "The Cool." Hopefully more live performances and definitely getting back into the studio to record more music. Instagram Artist Website

Founded in 2018, Whiskey Flowers started out as most bands do; playing covers for their own enjoyment. After a few private gigs, they knew they had something legitimate. As a group of seasoned songwriters and musicians, including Justin Pines, Brian Isely, Bill Gallagher and Dave Santoli, it didn’t take long for Whiskey Flowers to define their sound. Mixing elements of Rock, Americana, Pop, Blues, Classic Rock, 90’s Alternative, and Folk into their songwriting. With three distinct songwriters, the range of influences the band has is obvious. The buoyant soundscape that is their latest single “Just Another Day,” has us accepting the offer of this warm, sonic invitation from Whiskey Flowers. Commencing the track with a steady presentation of chugging guitar riffs and tightly formed rhythm, there’s no denying the infectious grooves that simmer in the stew of this track. Riddled with transparency through the vessel of enticing tenors that are laced into the tightly formed percussion patterns, Whiskey Flowers has us riding the vibrato of “Just Another Day” with an eager mindset. Incorporating the boisterous energy from the smoldering vocal performance in our grace, there’s a solidified hunger that lies upon the effervescent melodies we grasp onto. With the bolstered resonance leading into the bands' forthcoming album release of ‘The Long Road Back,’ you can’t help but wonder if the musical arrangements heard are a direct reflection of the meaningful body of work to come. Allowing us to feast on the timeless quintessence that they bring to their music, “Just Another Day,” has us ready to hit the freeway with all the windows rolled down, and the volume set to full blast. Driving home that nostalgia in a way that sends nods of familiarity our way, we’ll happily cruise to Whiskey Flowers on repeat. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Whiskey Flowers! Congratulations on the release of your single, “Just Another Day.” Could you please share the background story behind the inspiration that led up to this release? We were a cover band for 2+ years and the pandemic forced us to rethink ourselves. Bummed that we couldn’t practice live for an indeterminate amount of time, we had a majorly failed attempt at practice over Zoom. So, we made the decision to try our hand at writing some original songs. One of the reasons we wanted to release “ Just Another Day" as our first single was that it was the only song on the album that was written collaboratively, in-person before the world shut down. The inspiration behind the song came from Dave, our drummer, who was feeling the repetitive nature of his day job and the routine that surrounds it. Who hasn’t felt that kind of monotony or automaticity before? It just seemed very relatable, regardless of what your “Just Another Day” is. We all get stuck in routines and like to complain about the monotony, but, in reality, we know it’s just another day. We would love it if you could share a glimpse of the creative process that you embarked on when bringing this song to life! What was everyone’s role in giving life to the vision? A thumbnail sketch of this song was brought to our first true band “getaway” in Brigantine, NJ in 2019. We all dug the bouncy chord progression and the working melody. When we ran through it together for the first time, it just felt good, like a power-pop/rock song with an attitude. It also had this 90’s alt-rock vibe like early REM or Green Day. Can’t go wrong with that sound. We put together a decent outline for the song and came back from that weekend with a live demo and song structure. We sat on it for about 15 months, until we made the decision to start recording and since it was mostly written, started with this one. This was our first foray into recording and helped us iron out our creative process in writing and recording from our own home studios. Dave tracked drums and sent them out. Bill tracked bass and we mixed that. Justin tracked acoustics. Brian tracked electrics. And then back around it went until we added all the layers and elements we wanted. It took a few weeks to do. We didn’t confer too much on what needed to change, we just played what we heard to play and it turned out pretty well. Perhaps one of the best decisions we made was to hire a close friend, Kyle Wareham, to produce, mix and master the song and the album. It took our sound to the next level. A lesser-known fact is that the legendary drummer Mike Marsh (The Avett Brothers, Dashboard Confessional) laid down the final drums on this song. We all love the Avett Brothers and are honored to have him as a guest on our album, so we got a kick out of releasing this one. Mike, if you’re reading – you rock! How does “Just Another Day,” shape your audience’s mind for the release of ‘The Long Road Back’? From the opening drum fill, it hits hard and sets the tone for a great listening experience. The first 3 songs each feature a different singer, and we’re proud of that. We put a lot of thought into the order of the songs on the album. In today’s day and age, that’s somewhat of a lost art – most artists release singles. We wanted to follow in the footsteps of our musical influences so we think the songs and the song order tell a bit of a story. Just Another Day is a solid way to introduce people to our music - upbeat, energetic, relatable, and has the elements of the kind of rock that we all like. It’s got a lively verse, imagery, sing-a-long chorus, and a bridge that builds up to a great guitar solo with a big chorus at the end. As a band, what’s the most important message you would like to convey to your listeners through your music? Music is meant to create experiences, memories, and evoke emotions. We hope that comes through in our songs. We’ve all got songs that as soon as they come on, we know exactly where we were and what was going on. Hopefully, our songs can provide that for someone. This was a lifelong dream for all of us to write, record, and release a studio-quality album. It’s been a tumultuous, crazy year and a half on Planet Earth, and we hope these songs can become a positive part of our listener’s lives in some way. The days that have music in them are always better than days without music in them. What's next for you? First, we want to get out there and play some shows! We’re eager to meet fellow music-lovers, perform and see where our album takes us. Second, we’ve got a handful of songs in the bank along with a few new ones that we’ve written, so we’re already talking about album #2. It’s a ways off, but hopefully, we will be able to write, record, and produce our next album together versus independently from our own homes. whiskeyflowersband.com

Growing up in the Midwest as part of a musically oriented family, Briana Lyn’s parents recognized that the budding artist could sing before she spoke. Performing regularly throughout Minnesota, the vocal styles of Briana Lyn range from pop, country, jazz to classic-Disney-style show tunes. She often gets compared to a young Dolly Parton, Jodi Benson, and Amy Grant among others. With her original music being inspired by relationships, love, faith, and all of life's twists and turns, Briana Lyn has set out to make a name for herself. Releasing her smooth ballad "A Night We Won't Remember," this country bop is a song that’s dedicated to all the ladies looking to have a good night. Plunging us into mid-tempo, feel-good energy, this is a realm that comes as second nature to Briana Lyn. The luxury that comes from the congealed drum hits making their way into your speakers is justly noteworthy. There’s a rhythm that’s immediately set before Briana Lyn’s powerful vocalization even touches down on the composition. Written by some of Los Angeles’ finest songwriters, Erik Isaacs and Lyla Joyce, the pure energy that comes pouring from this track has Briana Lyn doing “A Night We Won’t Remember” justice. The manner in which her vocals excel from the musical foundation in an unalloyed liberation has us gripping onto the edge of our seats. Being a beacon of light in a world that has experienced many hardships over the past two years, Briana Lyn’s good intentions seamlessly flow throughout each word that she charismatically performs. Encouraging her audience to take the edge off, and immerse themselves in the creation of memories they will soon forget, nothing says “A Night We Won’t Remember,” quite like the sweet sounds of this country anthem. Welcome to BuzzMusic Briana Lyn, and congratulations on the release of your latest single, “A Night We Won’t Remember.” This feel-good, country bop is exactly what the world needs at times like these. What was the initial feeling you got when hearing this song for the first time? ​Thank you so much!! When Kosta Lois shared the song with me, I immediately thought how fun it was going to be to record the song in the studio. How different is it for you to create your own original music, versus collaborating with songwriters on a piece that’s already constructed? Do you have a preference for the approach, or do they each have their moments? It's definitely different creating my own original music in the studio than singing on a song that was created by other songwriters. I think the main difference is when I write music, I write it for my own vocal style and my skills as a singer. When I sing other people's music, it almost forces me to stretch myself a bit more as a singer and try new things that I normally might not have done before. I honestly like both approaches because I love the challenge and process of creating music no matter what step it's in. What was it like working with Erik Isaacs and Lyla Joyce in order to elevate the vision that was already in place? Could you please share a glimpse into the studio session? Honestly, I was very honored that I got chosen to sing a song by songwriters that have had a lot of success with their music in the industry. Erik Isaacs has worked with Grammy-winning/nominated #1 hit-making artists throughout his career, so I felt very honored and excited to work with him. Erik came into the studio session with a very clear vision of what he wanted from the song. I love working with people who know exactly what they want because I'm also very much like that. I worked on each of the parts until it was just the way he wanted it, and he was so good at coaching me through different spots where he wanted to hear more of something. The chanting part "take one down, pour another round" at the end of the song was actually all of me doing that, just using different voices. That may have been my favorite recording part because I enjoy making my voice sound different and playing with texture, depth, and high and low sounds. He'd give me a description of the voice he was looking for and I would create it. I may have had a glass or two of champagne while working in the studio with this song. It was seriously so much fun!! What’s your mission statement as an artist? How do you carry that out in the music you release? I'd say my mission statement as an artist is to create music that people can relate to and that gets them singing along with me. I love pop music for that reason because it's catchy. I've always been someone who wants to bring people together, focusing on our similarities instead of our differences. I want my music to bring people together even if it's for just a moment in time. It's those little moments in time that change us and bring bigger changes in the long term. My music is both lighthearted and has depth to it all at the same time, which is a lot of who I am. I'm very much a classic soul with a youthful heart. I want my music to be something people can still enjoy 40 years from now. What can we expect to see next from you? I'm releasing my next single "Run Away" at the end of the month that I'm very much excited about. After that, I have a single about moving to LA that I'm looking to release right after. I have more songs just waiting to get recorded so I'll definitely keep you in the loop! Instagram
