Lov9 Khari is an up-and-coming artist from Boston, Massachusetts. Known for his energetic personality, he is described as a party by the ones closest to him. The singer-songwriter often channels his boundless energy into creating new songs. For as long as he could remember, he has always been inspired by artists such as 50 Cent, Trey Songz, and Tunechi. Equipped with an awareness of his values, preferences, and pursuit of individuality, Lov9 Khari boldly sets his sights on the future. Coming at us with a vibrant scope of intensity, “Check,” is the captivating new single coming straight from Lov9 Khari. Getting us amped up for the heated rays of the summer weather, this fresh release is accompanied by the overpowering presence of Lov9 Khari as he locks in his worded ammunition through his songwriting techniques. We immediately fall into the dramatic approach that the instrumentation radiates through mesmerizing piano keys in the progressions noted. Lov9 Khari’s slick cadences sweep the bass-heavy instrumentation and place us into the prevalent thoughts that he makes a reality. There’s something to say about the way he emphasizes a laid-back finesse through the lyrical dexterity provided, all while giving us the animated energy we long for. Transporting us to a cruise control state of mind, in both a figurative and literal way, we envision ourselves hitting the freeway while we turn the volume all the way up on this track. Known for his melodic approach to the way he raps his carefully crafted verses, Lov9 Khari brings forth wavy hues of charisma through the speakers. Navigating us through a tempo that embeds itself into your mind, we’re hung up on the alluring wave that “Check,” puts us under. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Lov9 Khari, and congratulations on the release of “Check.” With such vivid energy that comes from this song, could you please share what it means to you? Check means many things to me. Most importantly, it let me get out of my comfort zone and be more expressive right off the bat. I don’t talk to many people but with the responses I’ve gotten and keep getting, I have no choice but to be social. When crafting a song specifically for a vibe or season, as you did with “Check,” how does the creative process vary from songs that don’t take that route? It all depends. Before, I would create something that I’d fantasize about. Now, I usually hear a beat and start creating harmonies and flows about something that either just occurred that day or something new that happened that I haven’t had a chance to express in a song yet. The process is almost always the same now. What musical and non-musical inspiration did you take into the creative process when bringing this song to life? Nothing. It was honestly a fantasy that turned into a manifestation. I never been to the strip crib before I made it. None of this shit happened to me when I made it. I let one person hear it and EVERYTHING in the song happened. What has been your favorite part of your artistic career this far? The trips and what happens when I reach the destinations. It brings me new motivation and gives me more things to sing about. What's next for you? More shows and some features from some lit artists. Can speak on it too much. Instagram

Hailing from Orlando, Florida, the jazz artist and singer-songwriter John Korbel releases a poignant and profoundly meaningful single entitled "No Better Angels." Having opened for acts like Jay Leno, Blood Sweat and Tears, Asleep at the Wheel, and The Hooters, John Korbel was able to garner a steady and loyal fanbase. Not to mention his features at the Third Street Songwriters Festival in Baton Rouge, the Island Hopper Songwriters Festival in Fort Myers, and the Key Largo Songwriters Festival in the Florida keys, John Korbel has truly made his mark on our thriving jazz scene. Now highlighting his powerful track, "No Better Angels," off his latest 5-track EP, 'Miss the Mystery,' John Korbel and his wavy sonics power through our speakers with immense strength and rhythm. While John Korbel tackles an incredibly conceptual and heavy lyrical topic, he keeps the groove alive with his lively instrumentation that emphasizes his compelling lyrical theme. Hitting play on "No Better Angels," the song opens with a thumping bassline, rhythmic piano keys, a haunting electric guitar soaked in reverb, tight brass bursts, and a smooth mid-tempo drum beat. As John Korbel joins the party with his low and raspy vocals, he's later accompanied by a heavy electronic synth while delving into his powerful lyrical theme. Listening to John Korbel's lyrics, he expands on the concept of the tragedies that roam our earth and the deaths of innocent people whose t-shirts and running shoes wash up on our shore. Through this track, it's clear that John Korbel pays a necessary tribute to the many lives who were brutally taken within the tragedies and misfortunes of selfish humans. Join the fight against unjust violence with help from John Korbel's latest single, "No Better Angels," now available on all digital streaming platforms. Hello John Korbel, and welcome to BuzzMusic. We highly appreciate the heavy and powerful concept of your recent single, "No Better Angels." What inspired the lyrical content within this piece? There are always so many images of children in dire situations, the little Syrian refugee boy's body on the beach, the little kids separated from their families on the southern US border, and so many other examples. The song is an expression of anger and frustration that it is allowed to continue. Did you work alongside any session musicians or producers when formulating the song "No Better Angels?" Or was this a solo process? The entire "Miss The Mystery" EP project was a product of covid. I was stuck at home a lot, but I was fortunate to have a modest recording studio set up in my house in Florida. I played and programmed the basic reference tracks alone, then built on them by having some wonderful session players contribute their work either remotely, or in one on one sessions at my studio. Was it difficult for you to write such emotionally charged and tragic lyricism for "No Better Angels?" What was your songwriting process like? I had been kicking around lyric ideas on what eventually became "No Better Angels" for quite some time, years really. The opening line was something I had for years. I think it is horrible the way the church has dealt with the scandal. Then I started thinking about the Abraham Lincoln phrase "the better angels of our nature", and turned it around to say that in the face of these atrocities involving children, maybe "there are no better angels" in our nature. I also like to have possible alternate interpretations to my songs too. It might also be taken to mean that there are no better "Angels" than the victims, the children themselves. I think people can look at it either way. How does "No Better Angels" fit into the overall concept and atmosphere of your recent 5-track EP, 'Miss the Mystery'?' The EP started as me messing around with different tracks in my studio, so I can't really say I had an overall concept at the beginning. There were several tracks of things that I worked on that didn't make the cut, or that might fit better into a future project. I just thought the 5 tracks that I ended up with worked together with the best out of what I had. What's next for you? I hope to do a more Pop/Jazz project that focuses on a group of songs that I have written to emulate the kind of stuff I remember while I was growing up. They are more like the songs that Frank Sinatra or Tony Bennett might have cut in their heyday in the 1950s. I even have my older brother, who is a fine classical conductor, working on some orchestrations for me. With a little luck and no doubt a ton of money, I might be able to pull it off.

Hailing from Washington State, singer-songwriter, and country recording artist Michael McCall is truly a welcomed surprise to the country music sector and the world. Engaged by the eclectic and traditional styles of Otis Redding, John Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Dwight Yoakam, Jason Isbell, George Strait, and Waylon Jennings, and a talented family of musicians (including one of his biggest influences, his father, who was a songwriter and guitarist), Michael McCall is drawn to storylines that captivate and phrases that lure and hook the listener. The unalloyed passion that is demonstrated in his most recent single, “Farther from Home,” has us tapping into a pool of emotions that seamlessly overflow from our very being as Michael McCall hones in on his nostalgic country music roots. Indulging ourselves in the luscious acoustic guitar riffs that gently pull us into a detailed storyline reflecting on Michael McCall’s life, there’s a profound honesty to the artistry that he graciously exhibits. With a deep tone that commands the prevailing croons, he spreads like butter upon this record, Michael McCall allows his listeners to instill a sense of security with the pacifying hues he immerses us in. “Farther from Home,” wraps us up in a blanketed embrace that we don’t ever want to escape. With lyrical motifs like, ‘When I was young my world seemed small. High up on Daddy’s shoulders thought I could see it all,’ taking us deeper into the recollections reiterated by Michael McCall, there’s a dazzling familiarity that ties us into who he is above and beyond his craft. Performing the heartrending lyrics from a place of therapeutic compassion is just one of the many reasons that we admire the devotion seeping from a Michael McCall creation. A huge congratulations on the release of “Farther from Home,” welcome to BuzzMusic Michael McCall. You take your storytelling techniques to a newfound dimension with this track. What was it like working with Jill King, Harry Harless, and Scott Randall Rhodes in order to bring the lyrical vision to life? Thank you! The song was actually written back in 2003 and the three of them absolutely killed it. While I’ve never had the opportunity to meet Jill, Scott and I met with Harry to get his approval on the version I wanted to cut. What inspired the creation of such a personal moment in this particular record? Do you remember the very moment that the idea was conjured up? One day while Scott and I were swapping songs with each other, he played it for me and it immediately hit home with me. From that very second, I knew I had to record the song. Together, we hammered out the basic vibe and mood we wanted to set. Later my producer, Buddy Hyatt (Music City Trax), added a Nashville chime to it, which we loved. What does “Farther from Home,” mean to you as an artist? What would you like your audience to take away from this song? Growing up on an Orchard out West, I would always think about how I cannot wait to leave my small town and never look back. However, once I left for the “real world,” I started to appreciate where I came from and it made me want to head back home. I feel like “Farther From Home” can relate to people who are leaving for college or moving to a bigger city. Sometimes you don’t realize how much something or somewhere means to you until you don’t have it anymore. What is your mission statement as an artist? How do you ensure that transpires in the moves that you make? To stay true to myself, whether I’m recording an original track or someone else’s. Most listeners care about a story they can relate to and can easily pick up on artists who are trying to pretend to be someone they’re not. I will always release music that is authentic to my life rather than going with mainstream or trendy-sounding song. Instagram Facebook

Adult contemporary soul singer-songwriter L. Young is a born and bred Louisville, KY, soul. Currently residing in Los Angeles, his talents have led him to grace the studio and stage with such artists as Stevie Wonder, Coldplay, Seal, David Foster, John Mayer, BabyFace, Aaron Neville, and Toni Braxton just to name a few. Bringing forth the soothing, heartfelt R&B vibrations of his most recent release, “He’s Not the One,” we feel greeted by a wave of nostalgia as his true reminiscent hues of the genre take us back to the late 90s/early 2000s. L. Young has collaborated with Stripped Down Music and Top Notch Music in order to propel a vision that is so rich in emotion, that we can’t help but to feel each word he strikingly performs. With a powerful series of notes that are reached through the vessel of his being, these angelic croons douse us in a refreshing offering of wistful tenors. There’s a therapeutic essence that comes hailing from the tantalizing vocal performance that L. Young graciously serves up. With his lyrical motifs casting a brilliant display of the finer sentiments he locks on to, we learn a copious amount about the artist and individual before us. Excelling his virtuoso in a force field that extensively hones in on the authentic quintessence of his craft, we admire the familiarity and warmth that comes to us as L. Young opens up his sonic embrace to let us into the world he perceives through his creative lens. Welcome to BuzzMusic, L. Young, and congratulations on such a beautifully performed single. We love how “He’s Not the One,” carries a familiar essence to it as we embark on this journey with you. What was it like working with Stripped Down Music and Top Notch Music in order to bring this vision to life? Thank you, and thanks for this interview. The process of creating this song was relatively easy. We had another record in mind at first, but after vibing to it for a while we all agreed that it just wasn't the right fit for me. So Anthony Ceazean from Stripped Down suggested He Is Not The One. As soon as I heard it I knew it was "the one." lol. It was pretty much fully written when it got to me. But there were some additional lyric alterations that I had to make to make this song fit what I would actually say. So, after that, we pretty much cut this record right away. What inspires you to hold onto the nostalgic roots of R&B? For this particular song, was there a certain moment that shaped the creative process? I don't intentionally try to hold on to anything or be nostalgic, because I believe music is always evolving and I want to evolve with it. I guess what you hear that would "take you back" are those raw elements of me musically that were honed studying the greats of the time when I was coming up. The vocal stylings of Stevie Wonder will always be embedded in my DNA somewhere as a singer, the writing style of those making the top hits of the 90s will come out in my pen in some form even if I'm making a Trap record. it's just something you can't hide or deny. As one to cast out vivid imagery with the lyrics you perform, what are you hoping your listeners can feel when taking in “He’s Not the One”?" I want listeners to feel...period. A song can mean different things to different people and I'm ok with that. I just want the performance and the writing to be so well done that it evokes some sort of response from the soul. So to one listener, this song may be sad because she remembers the good guy she let get away. To someone else, it may make them feel warm & fuzzy because the melodies and harmonic structures remind them of music they listened to growing up. To another, this song could be cathartic because it articulates perfectly what he's been trying to tell his secret crush but couldn't and this song becomes his anthem of sorts. That's with any record I make. That's why we call it Soul music. Throughout your artistic career, what has been your proudest moment to date? My proudest moment to date was meeting Quincy Jones and him telling me "I could really, really sing, sing." Actually, he kinda chased me down to tell me that. All the legends he has worked with and sat in rooms with and listened to in his life he felt it was imperative that he tell me that. We had a nice long conversation and lots of laughs. From that day on I never let a moment of doubt creep into my mind about what I had to offer this world as a vocalist. He & Berry Gordy on separate occasions told me the same things. I'm good. lol. Ain't nothing a hater can say to me now. Instagram Facebook

Ty McKinnie’s unique and soulful voice has no bounds. The American singer-songwriter and self-taught guitarist from Atlanta, Georgia, has been singing since the age of 6. Since then, music has been the center of his life. Inspired to turn his passion into action, in 2016 Ty moved to New York City to pursue his singing career and enrolled in New York University’s Music Business program. As adversities struck, writing and music became more therapeutic and an escape for the artist. Since graduating from NYU, his focus has been placed on the captivating tunes he creates. Dousing ourselves in the jaunty expressions of Ty McKinnie in his latest single, “Brownstone in Harlem,” we immediately get looped into the infectious rhythm emitted from a soundscape so bubbly. The effervescent hues released in the mix instill a deep sense of comfort and bliss as we sway to the compelling grooves before us. Ty McKinnie’s vocalization comes off as robust and soothing as we get swept into the alluring performance that he makes seem effortless. Transmitting the vibrancy that he owns within the vessel of his energy, we’re latched onto the lyrical motifs that he confidently sings with an empowering implication. Going after what’s rightfully his, the work ethic behind Ty McKinnie is more apparent than ever with lyrical motifs such as, ‘I’m gonna get what’s mine, I’m gonna get what’s mine.’ Manifestation at its finest. Painting the larger picture for relevancy with his audience, when you listen to “Brownstone in Harlem,” you can’t help but weave yourself into the musical foundation making waves before you. Within the beautifully sculpted words heard, and a profound conveyance that evokes cheerful emotions, Ty McKinnie rules the sound waves with the pep in his step and timbres. Hello Ty McKinni, welcome to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on the release of “Brownstone in Harlem.” We love the energy that is radiated from this song! What inspired the lyrics that we hear? Thanks! I’m glad you dig it. I wrote “Brownstone in Harlem” a few years ago when I first moved to NYC. I always wanted to live in Harlem due to its’ rich history and quickly fell in love with the neighborhood. Coincidently, there was growing gentrification attempting to take over Harlem (adding a Whole Foods is never a good sign). I was infuriated but also inspired, so I wrote this song as a soundtrack for the growing resistance. Could you please share a glimpse into the creative process for “Brownstone in Harlem?” Did your vision come out exactly how you imagined it to? Sure! So last summer I laid down the demo in my little home studio setup I have. I tracked the guitar, vocals, and programmed the drums right next to my bed. I live on a busy street in Brooklyn so it’s hard to get a clean take without all the noise but hey that’s New York! I was also working on the song remotely with a long-term collaborator of mine, but we ran into some communication issues that ended up with us choosing to part ways. Not gonna lie, I was pretty depressed about the “breakup.” Luckily, I was fortunate enough to have my buddies’ (and bandmates) Nelson Alexander (Drums) and Ian Bamberger (Guitar) encouragement to finish the song. So I just picked myself up, booked a studio session with the help of some more good buddies, and recorded the version you now hear today. During a pandemic, I may add! What do you hope that your audience can take away from the messaging in this track? I hope the audience understands the issues of gentrification and the harm it causes to Communities of Color, specifically Black ones. On the flip side of things, I want this song to inspire those within the Black community to go after their hearts’ desires. Create generational wealth, preserve our history, and have a fun time doing it. Do you find that your self-growth is reflected in the music that you create? Could you please elaborate? Absolutely! I feel like my spirit grows with every new song I write. I get more and more comfortable with who I am as a person and then I put it out once I’m ready! Writing a song like “Brownstone” actually challenged me to overcome the fear of being “too Black.” Growing up, I was always conscious of my Blackness and how it and I were perceived as a threat. However, with some self-love combined with the rise of the Black Lives Matter movement, I felt empowered to say what I needed to say and share it with the world. What's next for you? Ya know I’ve been wrestling with this question for a WHILE *insert nervous laugh.* I had plans for another project but COVID came and then there was that. I’ve written lots of songs and I want to start sharing them. But I’m still figuring out what’s the best way to do it. So new music is coming. SLOWLY but surely. Instagram Facebook

MA NI TU is the moniker of electronic musician and sound artist Richard Beet. With influences ranging from early Surrealism to Samiyam, MA NI TU plays with the boundaries between genre and medium. His surreal work explores multimedia and intermedial forms of expression, centered on scripts that allow video, sound, and text to existing alongside each other; closely related but entirely separate. With no central narrative, MA NI TU invites the audience to immerse themselves and find their own story within the vivid, submerged environments he creates. Exploring an eclectic essence that is prominent in the detailed soundscapes he launches forth, MA NI TU provides his listeners with “Look Back Lover.” Found as a single released in 2020, we also have the pleasure of navigating around the ambiance transitioning creation on the five-track EP, ‘L’Etoile de Mer Again.’ Making a statement through enticingly soothing atmospheres that dazzlingly take your mind into a representation of the organic landscapes of nature, you just as quickly get pulled into the seemingly weighty push of the bass-forward elements as the musical foundation turns a dime to bring you an intriguing sense of anticipation. With such an intricate overview of these worlds colliding, you can’t help but fully immerse yourself in everything that MA NI TU provides in this genre-defying realm. Once the hauntingly, charming timbres plant themselves into the composition, we’re offered a particular selection of lyrical motifs that don’t overshadow the depth and texture brought to you in the production virtuoso heard. ‘Lover, won’t you come back lover. Bonafide kind wonder. Look back,’ are the series of words that infiltrate your mind in an impactful manner as you grasp the quintessence of MA NI TU through the abstract advancement of the colorful tenors he portrays. Fueled by the hypnotic spirit that “Look Back Lover,” conveys, this is only a sliver of what you get to experience on his recently released EP. Welcome to BuzzMusic MA NI TU. With such a brilliantly crafted track like “Look Back Lover” making a statement, what inspired the nature of this song? Whilst L’Etôile de Mer again is themed around memory and desire in general, Look Back Lover focuses on being at parties and clubs, and meeting someone and you instantly vibe with each other - the excitement and the sense of adventure in stepping into the unknown with someone. Also, it was partly an excuse to lay down a squelchy bass synth solo because who doesn’t want that? In your own words, what does this song mean to you? What are you hoping that your audience takes away from it? For me this song obviously recalls personal memories of sensual, shall we say, experiences with people - for my audience, I hope the track takes them back to their own similar times at parties and clubs. It’s indulgent and that’s how I want people to feel when they listen to it. What shifted for you when you returned to the music scene in 2016? Have you found a change in your creative process and the overall way that you approach your craft? In 2016 it was the beginning of a long and painful process of recovering my skills and knowledge in music-making, and even just to get the confidence back which I had when I first started out in the early 10s. I had some pretty horrible experiences of mental and physical abuse in bands and whatnot so it really wasn’t until 2020 that I was finally able to get rid of the voice of anxiety and imposter syndrome (or whatever you want to call it) and just put out a damn record. What do your listeners have in store when taking in ‘L’Etoile de Mer Again?' How does the concept laced into this project speak on you as an artist? I regret to say that L’Etôile de Mer again is not full of indulgent bass synth solos - it’s a multimedia experience where they are free to view both the video, ep, and booklet or just enjoy one or the other. As far as the ep goes, it’s stubbornly multi-genre - bouncing between folktronica to ambient to techno and so on. Some people won’t be up for that (and that’s fine!) but there is a method in the madness - the concept is meant to represent our memories - they are constantly fragmenting and changing subtly as we move through life. I think as an artist I am really excited by this concept - to offer something that is not entirely straightforward. What's next for you? I need to practice! I am beginning to work out how to reproduce the experience of L’Etôile de Mer Again in a live setting. So I will be focusing on that - maybe release a similar, smaller work in winter.

It comes as no surprise that Ottawa’s Hip-hop artist Mazyn continues to make strides in his respective genre of music. However, the emerging talents of his musical repertoire continue to rise with each song he carefully crafts, and we’re seeing more of him branch out into the versatility he adapts to. Swerving into a realm of cognizant bars that roll off the tip of his tongue, Mazyn has listeners fully invested in the tantalizingly edgy soundscape of “Ever Since.” Tapping into the authenticity he hones in on, we find that we’re exposed to a side of Mazyn that delves a bit deeper into the gears that turn inside the canvas of his mind. With a slow tempo that pulsates through your speakers, the piano forward instrumentation transitions through intricate percussion patterns as we hear the icy cadences fill out this record in a way that reiterates self-assuredness. Chalked full of witty rhyme schemes that leave an imprint behind on who Mazyn is and the reasons why he has to make it in the music industry, what we’re exposed to goes beyond the words stated, and heavily lean into the feeling you get when taking in this masterpiece. Catching onto lines such as, ‘I was never a quitter, I’m forever bloomin,’ Mazyn pays homage to the collective titled Bloooom that he rolls with which includes the “Ever Since,” producer extraordinaire EffeNess. Wrapping our heads around the short, yet extremely heavy hitting messaging that stems from this brand new release, we see exactly how high Mazyn will be elevated in the time to come. Hello Mazyn, thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic, it's always a pleasure when we get to catch up with you. Ever since your artist name changed we see you coming in full force and we’re all here for it! With a song like “Ever Since,” honing in on the Hip-hop scale of your artistic versatility, was there a particular moment that allowed you to get the words out just how you intended to? Pleasure is mine. I wrote this song a bit over a year ago at a time where I was finishing my bachelor's degree as an international student and at a point where the world started going crazy with covid hitting as well as a lot of social issues and tragedies that were arising both backs in the Arab region where I'm from, as well as in North America where I'm currently residing. I feel that caused a lot of angry energy in general for most people against all the injustices that have been happening for a while now. One day, Samo, my producer and co-founder of our collective BLOOOOM, sent me the beat and I wrote the whole thing in one go as one long verse and that was the song. In your own words, what does “Ever Since” mean to you? What are you hoping that your audience can take away from the messaging locked into this piece? I'd say the moment I made 'Ever Since' was a turning point in general for me in my life. As I have set my priorities straight as well as completely doubling down on music and not letting anything distract me from my goal and purpose. I'd like for the listener to take away that only you can really limit yourself to what you can really achieve. If you ever felt like a nuisance, reject, or underdog, you'll get a moment where it all makes sense in your head which turns you into a self-belief monster who can turn whatever cards you've been dealt with into positivity around you. Do you find that your success on TikTok has been contributing to the way your artistry is perceived during these times? It has. In a good way though where it's been sparking more traction and conversation towards the music which has been my goal since I started posting regularly on Tik Tok. I've taken a good break from it for a couple of months now, focusing on my original content and the music but I'm back to it again and going in full force with creating content on tik tok. Who knows maybe something viral, but if not I'm making sure that the music speaks for itself in a way that'll stand the test of time, telling my full story from A to Z. What are you looking the most forward to with all of the releases that you have lined up for your fan base? I'm excited for everyone to see the progression with every song as well as really taking in the sound that my team and I have been working on for countless nights and hours over the past two years. I'm finally confident to say that the sky isn't the limit anymore with what I got coming because I'm aiming further than that. What's next for you? I got new music coming pretty much every week this summer on average. My next single after this will be dropping on the 23rd which will be one of my favorite songs I made yet. I hope the music connects with the people. Thanks for speaking with me. Much love! Instagram Twitter

The multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Corey Britz releases his recent album, 'Slightly Exaggerated Tales of Past Events,' with a highlighted and beaming introductory track, "She Come Ready." Also an active composer, producer, and session player, Corey Britz acts as the bassist of multiplatinum rock band BUSH.

Hello Corey Britz and welcome to BuzzMusic. We adore the passionate, honest, and lively approach you've taken with your recent hit, "She Come Ready." What inspired the lyrical theme within this single? "She Come Ready" is about being used but being ok with it. Some relationships are deep and beautiful, others are not, but both can be great if those involved are on the same page. And you never know, sometimes the most trivial things prove to be the exact opposite in time. What did your songwriting process look like for " She Come Ready"? Was it easy for you to write lyrics that tell such a relatable story? The writing process for She Come Ready was a long one. I wrote the chorus first and spent several months writing and rewriting the verses trying to properly express what I wanted to say. The early iterations were a bit too tongue in cheek, and I didn’t want it to be. I wanted to drive home the fact that though the relationship was shallow and convenient, there was an element of both people being able to count on the other when they needed them. Did you have any exterior musical influences in mind when creating your track, "She Come Ready?" What sort of vibe did you want to deliver? There are elements in this track that definitely hint at some of my favorite records. The synth/guitar hook takes me back to the brat pack era soundtracks, while the groove and chords remind me of some of my favorite Peter Gabriel tracks. Did you create the entire instrumental yourself for "She Come Ready?" Or were you accompanied by any other producers, engineers, or musicians? There were several people involved in this song. I co-produced the track with Travis Ference, and had the pleasure of having Justin Derrico play guitar, and Nik Hughes play the drums. What's next for you? I’m currently working on a new batch of songs that I hope to release this fall, and hopefully, I can get back to touring as soon as possible. Instagram Facebook

Up and coming R&B artist, logyn is based out of Los Angeles. Largely pulling inspiration from greats such as Janet Jackson and Sade, logyn mixes the intimate vocal styles of the quiet storm with contemporary pop production. Taking us into the atmospheric world of his musical techniques, logyn provides listeners with his debut single, “Kisses from Heaven.” This record comes to us after a year of diligently working towards the release of his debut EP. Swarming us in ethereal vocals that master the use of timing and space, we’re swept into a realm of sensual emotion projected through our speakers. There’s an immersive experience that happens when you take in the repetition of the soul-infused lyrics heard. Approaching words such as, ‘Read my body, body, body language. Imma read your body, body, body language,’ with the type of simplicity that burns itself into your mind, logyn’s sultry croons douse us in layers of harmonic bliss as we take in a healthy serving of the message he’s putting down. Swaying from side to side as the layers heard through melodically sculpted descants take over our very being, we’re appreciative for the attention to detail that logyn places in, “Kisses from Heaven.” Intricately bringing forth dimensions that are felt more than heard, we grasp the warmth of logyn’s embrace, as he extends an invitation out to all of his listeners. If “Kisses from Heaven” defines the resonance that we’ll be treated to on the full EP, we can’t wait to see what logyn has in store for us. Hello logyn, welcome to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on the release of your debut single, “Kisses from Heaven.” We’re mesmerized by how this song is executed in such a compelling way. With this being your debut release, what inspired you to lead with this track? Thank you! I've taken quite a few years to develop the vocal style within my music. Oftentimes, I find myself layering over 40 vocal tracks at once to create my sound. I felt this single represented the music I've always heard in my head. Because of this, I wanted to let this track speak for itself as a single, my first ever. Also, this track is a great mix of sensual lyricism and upbeat moving instrumentation, something I feel is a recurring theme in my upcoming EP. In your own words, what does this single mean to you? What are you hoping that your audience takes away from the themes and emotions implemented? Transparently, this single really doesn't epitomize emotional depth as conveyed through lyricism. Rather, I feel the movement of the vocals and instrumentation serve to convey the depth of feeling I experienced while recording it. I think I'm hoping my audience hears the song the same way I do, with intimacy. Could you please share a glimpse into how you managed to make this song truly jump from the speakers? "Kisses From Heaven" was a concept I'd been working with for a while. With my softer vocal style, it can be difficult to make a song sound as grandiose as I'd like it to. I find myself putting a lot of cuts in the instrumentation to create a sense of suspense. Also, I love creating complicated background vocals to weave a more intricate sound, using them to rhythmically play with the main vocal, giving more texture and shape to the song. On top of all of this, I don't typically like to stay on one melody too long, something you'll hear more on the EP. I like to play with a lot of melodic ideas for a track and incorporate them into the song however I can. Stylistically I feel this is my comfortable way of making a song pull the ear. Is “Kisses from Heaven,” an indicator as to what we can expect from your EP? What can you tell us about that? The EP is in many ways represented by "Kisses From Heaven," through the vocal style and R&B instrumentation. Though, ironically enough, the EP is markedly more upbeat than the single itself. There is quite a lot of funk on the record, as opposed to the single, being more of an R&B record. I'd say the EP in its entirety touches on a more diverse range of influences, such as 70's funk and R&B. Ultimately, the EP is still uniform in sound and distinctly my own. Instagram
