Move onward and upward with help from Tanja Jeramaz's latest empowering feminist anthem, "Boy Tears," now available to bump on all streaming platforms. We love the empowering theme and message you've tied into your latest single, "Boy Tears." When did you realize that you needed to create this powerful feminist anthem? This song idea came to me after I found out my college boyfriend also had a secret girlfriend back home. After ending things with him, he continued seeing his hometown girlfriend until she too found out about his relationship with me. Soon after, his now ex-girlfriend started dating his best friend. The song alludes to the "girl code" and is a feminist anthem to unite the ladies. Instead of pitting us two girls against each other in a tug of war for this boy, his ex and I both left him in a pool of his own boy tears. I wanted to change the narrative surrounding cheating, to dispel the notion that when your boyfriend cheats it’s the girl he’s cheating on you with’s fault. I wanted to give the power back to the ladies. The sonics and production within "Boy Tears" are deeply magnetic and energetic. How did you want your audience to feel after experiencing the exciting sonic arrangement? I want my audience to walk away from the song feeling empowered and confident. I wanted this to be a song that you blast with your girlfriend’s in the car and scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs. Did you work with any producers/songwriters/musicians when creating your single "Boy Tears?” Yes, I created the song with my producer BOIA! I’m so grateful to be working with such a talented producer who gets my vision right away. I came up with the melody and lyrics on my own then took them to my producer and he created the energetic and powerful beat you hear on the song. Should listeners expect more witty, blunt, and satirical songs from you in the future? Is this something you'd like to keep incorporating into your music? My songs will always be blunt- I write about specific situations I have experienced usually in detail. However, every song is different and shows my entire range of emotions. Some songs will be powerful and uplifting while some will show vulnerability and rawness. I think too often people are pigeon-holed into an idea of who they and society think they should be. What I want to convey in my music that you can be a little bit of everything. I want to be a little bit of everything. I am the strong feminist singer who has, at times, forgotten her worth and dated guys who treated her badly - a girl who sings about empowerment but is still trying to figure out how to love herself. What's next for you? Currently, I am working on my first EP with my producer BOIA! instagram.com/tanjajeramaz

From Wendake, QC, the explorative artist, and singer-songwriter ANYMA sinks deeper into her emotions through a vulnerable single, "If God Had a Boat." Raised by a choreographer mother and a musician, producer, and cultural chief father, the First Nations artist ANYMA later discovered her passion for music through her father's professional production of 'Ozalik.' After the passing of her father, ANYMA felt compelled to dive deeper into her craft and explore the emotions she felt when facing life's turmoil. Gearing up to release her debut EP later this fall, ANYMA introduces us to the project through its lead single, "If God Had a Boat." The single itself is incredibly moving, as it explores the groaning depths of alt/dark-pop while ANYMA touches on the darkest periods of her life. "If God Had a Boat reflects on how I saw myself at that time. I felt empty, carrying this burden – existing in this body but absent from myself," states ANYMA. "If God Had a Boat" opens with ANYMA's bright and beaming vocal stylings accompanied by a fluttery piano melody and calming bird samples. As she begins letting us into the pain she experienced after sitting with her father's loss, ANYMA tugs on our heartstrings with lyrics like "If God had a boat, I would sail it to you, made my mistakes, and it broke me in two." While the majority of the song consists of a mesmerizing and natural ballad, ANYMA picks up the second half of the song with intricate drum breaks, a soaring string section, and captivating background vocals. As the song comes to an end with an intense and dark synthetic breakdown, ANYMA leaves us in a profound trance. Find peace of mind with ANYMA's recent emotional single, "If God Had a Boat," and prepare yourself for her forthcoming debut EP later this fall. Welcome to BuzzMusic, ANYMA. We're genuinely impressed with the emotional and compelling atmosphere you've created with your single, "If God Had a Boat." When did you begin feeling compelled to create a song that reflects on your profound emotions? About two years ago, I went through a big existential crisis, where I would ask myself what was my true path and why I was here on earth. I was going through grief, anxiety, and was seeking answers. I had a lot of pain, and the day came where I had to leave town. I went to California with a friend. We arrived at Clam Beach in the middle of November, it was cold and foggy. I was compelled to the sea, looking at the horizon, I could see the immensity of earth and the big unknown unraveling on my feet. I started to sing. Whatever came to my heart and mind I would sing random words, I felt my ancestors were all around me. I cried and fell in the water. I remember it so clearly, I was asking the universe to hear me. To hear my pain of the world.. of what I experience here as a human, that it is really hard and that I was tired, I needed their support. It was my scream to the universe, I told it that if I do not make music on earth.. then I was ready to leave, that they could come and get me because I had one thing in my heart and it was to make music for humans. In that message was sitting the answer. I had to make music to heal. So from this immense pain of wanting to leave earth, to overcoming all of my emotions to transform them in a song, in an EP. “If God Had A Boat” is a small picture of this pain, when I felt deeply sad, I let that emotion come out of my throat, to heal and to give this experience away in music. If someone goes through the process of having no strength left.. and needs support, I just hope they can hold on a bit to this song and hear that I support them and from the bottom of my heart want for them to conquer this feeling, that I know is one of the most painful. Did you find it challenging to open up and be so vulnerable when writing your lyrics for "If God Had a Boat?” What was the toughest part of your songwriting process? I guess it is quite true that I go straight to the point in my lyrics that I am not ok, that I felt like leaving. I did not find that it was hard to write, because it really needed to get out of my system, I did not speak to anyone about those feelings at that moment so I had to let it all out at some point. If you don’t then it does a lot of harm to you and your body, and sometimes others when you don’t take care of your soul. This song for me was the cure to my deepest emotion. What was hard though, was singing in the studio, going back into those emotions, and trying to sing it perfectly, and letting the emotions come again and again. Singing on the pitch, on the click, doing the same sentence 20 times made the process difficult for me. It affected my performance. I would sing with pain in my voice, like when you want to cry your eyes out but can’t (because you're in a professional situation where someone’s time is counted) and when you retain all those tears well it burns your throat. So this was hard and I got a lot of anxiety out of this, but I did it! I went through it and pushed against it. This song was all about going through this pain so I had to. Did you work with any producers to navigate the sonics for "If God Had a Boat?" What sort of atmosphere and feel were you aiming to achieve with the sonics? Yes. Pierre-Olivier Couturier is my producer. He knows me, and we have the same musical intuitions and tastes. It was a process for sure, we had to find the right colors and he came up with something magical in the end. His true talent for music inspires me to be better and he helped a lot in this whole creation. What did you want your audience to feel after listening and experiencing the depths of your single "If God Had a Boat?” I want them to feel strength, courage, united, and loved. In those big moments of turning our lives around and going deep into the healing processes, to feel like we are not alone is a key even if it is through your ancestors or a song, or a tree it can be anything. Then find the strength to pick yourself back up like a seed, when it is in the obscure state, making its roots, making them deep, to find the courage to push out of the ground without knowing what flower yet you are, and not even knowing where you will end up once out there. It is truly a big moment for someone to choose to grow. Once you have done the work, love for oneself, others, and for life will truly be the most beautiful reward anyone can have, along with the magnificent synchronicities that your path will unveil for you and see how magic works when you listen.

Find "Gonna Run (Acoustic)" on all streaming platforms, and watch the song's tranquil music video on YouTube. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Tiggi Hawke. We love the passion and desire you've placed into your recent release, "Gonna Run (Acoustic)." What inspired you to create an acoustic rendition of your original song? Thank you so much! I really love taking songs apart and looking at them in a different way, it can give the song another meaning to what it originally had and can highlight different aspects of it, like the lyrics and meaning. Gonna Run has gone through quite a few changes production-wise and it felt really good to strip it down and reconnect with it that way, especially going through all the versions that I had of it and re-living all the changes! Did you work with any musicians or producers when reworking the sound for your rendition of "Gonna Run?" I did actually, directly and indirectly! As I mentioned, I ended up going back through all the changes and different versions of Gonna Run and I took a few ideas from those versions to use in the acoustic, like some general sounds and some rhythm ideas. I also worked with 2 amazingly talented musicians, who also feature in the video, and we worked out the parts we wanted and pieced it all together. It was also really fun to sing it so different but still trying to keep up the intensity of the message, I love a good challenge! Seeing that you released an acoustic version of "Gonna Run," you must have felt drawn to the song. Why did you choose to recreate "Gonna Run" instead of any other of your tunes? Gonna Run was actually written a couple of years ago and has been on my mind for a while so I do feel quite connected to the song and now after some time, it’s also taken on a bit of a different meaning for me, probably due to the different things that are going on in my life now vs when it was written. Sometimes, I do think songs have another side to them that is only really seen when it’s taken in a stripped direction and I’m glad that we got to show that with Gonna Run because there are also definitely songs that lose something when they’re taken all the way back down (at least when I do it!). Is this your first time delving into a more organic and acoustic sound for "Gonna Run (Acoustic)?" Might you release more acoustic songs/ versions in the future? I’ve done a few more organic versions of songs in the past but they tend to be quite collaborative so lockdown has not helped with any of that! I had a lot of fun doing something similar sonically with NYC and it’s definitely something I’d like to do more of so hopefully, yes there will be more of it in the future! What's your favorite release of this year, from an independent artist you admire? There’s been some incredible music out this year which has been amazing to listen to and absorb, especially being in lockdown earlier in the year and having the time to appreciate so much more music. Though she’s not independently released, I’m LOVING Olivia Rodrigo’s album ‘Sour’, it’s so beautifully put together and the songs are amazing Instagram Facebook

Luke White is a singer-songwriter whose guitar-based music and heartfelt words mirror his influences of John Mayer, Dermot Kennedy, Ben Howard, Damien Rice, and James Blunt. Luke White started out as a blues and rock guitarist and transferred over to the songwriting world at the age of 16. Luke White has been writing and releasing music since 2018 and has gigged all over the UK. During the pandemic he has taken time to write new material and take it to the recording studio, so he can share his inner creations with his audience worldwide. Tapping into the interior emotions and messaging of his most recent single, “Doesn’t Matter What They Say,” Luke White conveys his carefully crafted words in a way that comes across as authentic storytelling. Delving into personal experiences of his own, you hear the passion seep into the composition as he exercises his striking vocal range for maximum impact. Luke White’s honest and profound croons give you a certain right at home feeling. You can’t help but to hear the utmost care drip into what he says, like the way he performs makes it seem like he is speaking to you directly. An emotive soundscape of powerful drum hits, melodic piano chords, and heartfelt guitar riffs allows us to appreciate the surging stream of Luke White’s wistful timbres taking over. With a more delicate approach to the verses, we hear all come to fruition as we reach the chorus and an explosion of passion repeats the song’s title and lyrical motif, ‘doesn’t matter what they say,’ with an impeccable vocal run driving home the harmonious balance he effortlessly portrays. This song teaches us to let go, and live a life worth living on our own terms as we navigate the avenues of life’s intended design specifically to us. As we keep that in mind, we appreciate the melodic reminder coming from Luke White’s earnest themes. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Luke White, and congratulations on the release of “Doesn’t Matter What They Say.” This song hits home for many people in such a relatable way. Was there a particular moment or story that encouraged you to let this unfold in a song? Yes for sure! I had a phone call with a mate of mine a while ago where she said how she was lacking in body confidence because of seeing pictures of girls online with "perfect" bodies and "perfect" lifestyles, and how she was having silly arguments with some people online and some of the things said were so transparent and horrid! I went on to tell her not to care about that stuff as we all show our perfect side on social media and we don't normally see the "shit" parts of life. Also to just be yourself and to not get down about what others say to you online. I felt writing a song about a real-life experience to do with mental health and how social media can affect it made for a raw and compelling song that will hopefully relate to others and hopefully help others adopt a mindset of not caring too much about what they see online and therefore living in the real world a bit more. Overall it's a positive message saying it "doesn't matter what they say" and "keep your head up"! In your own words, what does this song mean to you as the artist? What are you hoping your audience takes away from it? I am so proud of this song from the production to the lyrical meaning. I hope that my audience takes away the message of "just do you" and not take social media and what we see online too seriously. The real world is a much more honest and most of the time a kinder place. I remember seeing a James Blunt interview where he said "opinions are like assholes, we all have one"! It made me laugh but it's so true and we tend to voice these opinions online with no filter and sometimes forget about how it could be offensive or rude to others. Also, so many people post on social media for a temporary high in life so they can get likes and comments and 99% of the time is a picture or video of them winning something, having fun, or out with friends. Social media is a poster boy version of our lives and doesn't show even half of what really goes on in one's life. At what point do you know a song is ready for its release? With every artist having their own creative process, is a song ever truly finished to you? I know when a song is ready to release once you're trying to add too much to the track and overdoing it. Also, you have to let it go at some point and the song on the recording won't be exactly the same as when you play it live or if you recorded it again. Songs are things that are always evolving and can be played in different forms! That's why music is so cool! My process can alter from starting with guitar or starting with a lyrical story idea. In this case, it was definitely lyrics first and it was very easy to write because it was essentially like writing out the conversation I had with my friend but just put it in song form. What has been the best piece of advice you’ve been given in your music career thus far? I guess there's loads of advice I've had so far! One piece is that perseverance is key and there will be some really bad days but also some really big highs and rewards for sticking with it and honing your craft. Also, Haydn Bendall, Abbey Road Studios inspired me when I met him as we talked about sessions he had with artists like Van Morrison where Van would record a song in one take and refuse to record it again because it will be different when he played it live. He saw it as a spiritual thing that moved with him and it changed its form in different times of life/settings and I found that awesome. He also talked to me about collaboration and networking and the importance of it which I couldn't agree with more. Instagram Facebook

With an enchanting and illustrative honesty, she explores hauntingly personal and taboo subjects shamelessly. Currently an LA-based songwriter and artist, Jayelle is adding a fresh voice to alternative pop with captivating hooks and clever lyrical themes. The rhythmic grooves of her recently released single, “Men Are Candy,” sends a wave of sensuality to the speakers of Jayelle’s listeners worldwide. With an infectious tempo that hones in on the eclectic blend of digitalized instruments in this musical arrangement, we are immediately drawn towards the mysterious undertones that lurk in the brilliance of Jayelle’s honeyed conveyance. Her sultry timbres approach the songwriting in a way that is filled to the brim with candy-like metaphors and how they relate to her taste in men. Applying such an inimitable showcase of lyrical dexterity, you can’t help but be on the hook of Jayelle as she runs through some of your favorite sweets, and inner thoughts. Jayelle’s undeniable vocal range drives home this masterpiece as her opulent harmonies come flooding through the speakers in a well-balanced concoction of mystically charged radiance.

To every good thing on the shelf,’ to have a mass impact on her fan base eager to tap in. If one thing is for sure, it’s that Jayelle knows how to instill a gravitational pull between her musical creations and her audience. Bringing more than just the lush vocal soundscape to the front and center, Jayelle etches life-like imagery to follow. Listen to "Men Are Candy" here. Congratulations on the release of your latest single “Men Are Candy.” The metaphors that you use in your songwriting are genius! What inspired such a creative concept for this song? Thank you so much! I actually can’t take all the credit! The idea came from a lady that was a regular at a restaurant I used to work at. Whenever she came in, she always wanted to know all about my love life and who I was dating at the time. I remember one day I was telling her about this guy who was blowing me off, and I was really upset about it. She interrupted me and said, “Honey, don’t worry about it. At your age, men are candy.” I thought that was a genius concept (and life motto actually), so I jotted it down in my notes app and ended up revisiting it while writing a couple of months later! What are you hoping that your audience takes away from the themes and messaging brought out in “Men Are Candy?" A lot of my music tends to surround more serious subjects, so I wanted this song to be a more lighthearted departure from that. It’s sexy and summery and I hope everyone that listens to it feels that confident energy. How do your influences of Anna Nalick, Halsey, Maggie Rogers, Paramore, and Taylor Swift, speak into the music that you create as an artist? I’ve always had pretty eclectic music taste. Primarily, I just love strong, confident women that can write the hell out of a song. All of those artists inspire me to keep expanding stylistically and pushing my comfort zone as an artist. I think this song is a great example of that! Comparing “Men Are Candy,” to your previous work, what are some similarities and differences that you endured through the creative/release process? I definitely wanted this song to be different from my other stuff while still staying true to what I think sets me apart as an artist and a writer. I think I was able to maintain the cynical, sarcastic vibe from my other music, but the packaging of this song lyrically and sonically is a lot more flirty and playful. My producer and co-writer Drew Louis was really helpful in creating that sensual atmosphere musically. The photoshoot was also very new for me. I’m a big fan of darker colors and edgier style, so dressing in and surrounding myself with pastels was really fun to try and definitely out of my comfort zone fashion-wise. Instagram Facebook

Pop sensation Lemon Lord hails from Los Angeles with a slogan ‘To Infinity and Be Blonde.’ Reminding us all that we can do anything we dream of and we can be any version of ourselves that we choose along the way. Being multifaceted at its finest, Lemon Lord has written all lyrics, melodies, and arrangements on her album and hopes to release a vast amount of creations for the years to come. Taking to her 2020 album, ‘Be Blonde,’ this debut release continues to garner major attention for the talented Lemon Lord. Honing in on her power anthem, “Superpower,” the eclectic, galactic sensation laced into the soundscape takes on the essence of the one and only Madonna, yet merges with hints of the eccentric Lady Gaga. In a heavy atmospheric realm that is weaved together through computerized percussion patterns and electric synth progressions, we have the fiery energy of Lemon Lord pushing the envelope of Pop meets Electronica bops. Her prevailing vocal performance makes for quite the staple, as she brings fortified confidence to the ears of her listeners. Indulging us in a mesmerizing rhythm that pulsates to the thriving instrumentation, we hear Lemon Lord cast out lyrical motifs that hype up her listeners in a way that etches her undeniable swagger into the pep in their step. Crooning slick verses that take us to the repetition of the spellbinding chorus, we can’t help but sing the words, ‘I bet you wish you had a superpower,’ at the top of our lungs. Lemon Lord does what all of us wish we could, and that’s to get her message across in a way that stirs up strength in her fan base. Be prepared to feel the utmost empowered after immersing yourself in the compelling waves of “Superpower.” Welcome to BuzzMusic, Lemon Lord. “Superpower,” had us hooked from the moment the song began to play! Could you please take us into the meaning of this track? Thank you :) This song is a sort of meditation, or anthem, or spiritual opera if you will -- that takes me into another dimension or another space. I feel the strength and the effortlessness to float above and beyond anyone and anything and to let go. Who doesn't need that from time to time? As an artist, I'm very interested in exploring the limits of reality or perception and going beyond them, making society see things it didn't before, and making myself do things I didn't before. I have always been hooked on the concept of infinity and using inner power as a means of transcending any circumstance. That's what my music is about so this song is one of my favorites right now. Was there a particular moment or story that inspired the creation of “Superpower?" How did you know that it would make the cut for your album ‘Be Blonde?' I didn't know for sure that it would be chosen for the album as I had a lot of other demos and pieces of songs that I had written during that time, but this one came to me very quickly. It took only a few minutes to write it in its basic form, especially the opening lines, but then I changed some of the lyrics and messed with different rhymes and things like that later on. The pre-chorus also went through many different changes. The instrumental part was what I wanted, but the vocal melody went through a lot of iterations, and finally, I settled on this sort of repeated, spoken word, dreamy, almost hypnotic thing which I loved, and it reminded me of Madonna and The Weeknd and some other cool stuff that I liked. There wasn't a particular moment or story that inspired the song, other than my general desire to go beyond, to be free, to love myself, and to believe in and inspire others to do the same. Could you please share the overall concept that you brought to this body of work? What did the creative process look like when bringing ‘Be Blonde’ to life and choosing the track list? Writing these songs took over a year, and the pandemic severely interrupted the process but nothing can stop an idea that is supposed to have life, so ultimately the music had to come out. If I had held it within me I probably would have gotten really sick, or died. When energy and love and the human spirit are coming through, there is a flow that is needed. You have to let it out. You have to express yourself. You have no choice because it's too powerful to be contained within you, as a secret story or idea. It's such a crime against humanity, a crime against the self to keep a dream inside, and to carry that story along and to keep it alive only within yourself. It's too much of a responsibility, too much of a burden. Making this album was really about letting all of these ideas out, making pop music that inspires people and makes them feel strong and hot and like they can do anything. It's about a sound that gives people dignity, and the will to live. I'm sure that sounds dramatic but that's what it means to me. I chose the songs that best fit that objective but there are others that I wrote fragments of that I might come back to for the next batch. What is your mission statement as an artist? Do you find that it’s the same as when you created ‘Be Blonde?' This was my first album, and yes, I feel that my mission as an artist and for this album were extremely closely aligned. My slogan, "To Infinity and Be Blonde," was the inspiration for the album title itself, "Be Blonde," and my slogan basically means that we can all go as far and high as we want in life, and we can be any version of ourselves that we want to be along the way. For me, that means having blonde hair, and all the feelings I have that come with that symbol. For others, it could mean something else, even something internal. That's why my song "Superpower" is such an important piece of the record. It's really about overcoming any aspect of society or the self that's resisting the truth, the truth of who we are. I believe that we're allowed to be any version of ourselves that we want, at any time. Maybe this belief came from an early obsession with The Spice Girls, who took girl power to an international level and who all had unique identities within fashion and art, but I also feel it's a modern concept, to embrace multiple identities or personas. Real freedom for me, as Nina Simone once said, means no fear. It means there is no story to uphold, there is no contract to be someone. I wanted people to hear my album and feel like, "You're free, baby." So this is the first body of work toward that end. Thank you so much for listening and for these questions! Instagram

I wanted to write a track that might inspire someone to just go for it, whether it's love, or a passion, a career, that’s why the title ended up being Don’t Fear The Fall, because the risk just might be worth it. When working with producer Ionei Heckenberg for "Don't Fear the Fall," what sort of vibe or sonic feel were you aiming to achieve? When Ionei originally showed me this track it felt very Ariana Grande meets Paramore so I really lent into that when writing the melody and the rest of the lyrics with Oliver. Ionei and I are always on the same wavelength so once he started to hear the general melody idea he had already adapted the production to match. Did you write "Don't Fear the Fall" with your co-writer Oliver Kindred? How does your songwriting process usually go? We basically finish each other’s sentences! No, but really haha. Oliver helps mold the ideas and themes I want to express and knows just what to say and how to say it when I’m drawing a blank or just not very poetic. Usually, I’ll show him the lyrics I have and he will edit them and help with structure, he’s super talented and has a great ear for pop songs. How does "Don't Fear the Fall" contrast your other released singles? Would you say that you often release songs surrounding love and devotion? The themes of my other tracks are darker, my emo side is really showing on those songs. Don’t Fear The Fall is such an upbeat high-energy song, so it’s actually pretty different. I’m the type of person to wear my heart on my sleeve and love hard so naturally most of what I write about is going to reflect that, writing from the heart is the easiest way for me to express myself. What can listeners anticipate to hear next from you? Catchy tunes with power vocals, I’ve been watching a lot of documentaries about my favorite diva vocalists, I’m feeling inspired and ready to belt some high notes. Oliver and I have been writing so many songs that are all super catchy, super big, and will hopefully show off our songwriting chops even further! Instagram Twitter

Hailing from East Sussex, the alternative-rock trio Wild Horse releases the first of three forthcoming singles with their latest uplifting and romantic release, "Record Collection." Consisting of Jack Baldwin, Henry Baldwin, and Ed Barnes, Wild Horse is widely known for its catchy melodies that incorporate sounds like pop, classic rock, punky reggae, blue-eyed soul, dirty funk, rap, Latin, and much more. With four full-length albums under their belt, Wild Horse is constantly delving into more creative endeavors while promising their fans consistent singles. Releasing their heartwarming and catchy single, "Record Collection," Wild Horse mentions that the song touches on feeling a connection with someone and taking them home for the sole reason of sharing a similar music taste and wanting to sit by the record player for hours. The song brings us into a heartfelt and lively atmosphere with a smile on our faces through the band's warm and playful vibe. Diving into "Record Collection," the track begins with spunky alternative instrumentals that bring us slivers us nostalgic surf rock through their twangy electric guitars. As the rhythmic and mid-tempo drums lead the song down a heartfelt path accompanied by Jack Baldwin's bright vocal portrayal, he begins letting us into the song's theme through lyrics that describe his excitement to share his music taste with someone he recently formed a connection with. As the song continues to drift through our speakers with its playfulness and upbeat vibe, Wild Horse leaves us tapping our feet to the song's irresistible beat and joyful undertones. Reaching the outro, the entire instrumentals glisten through our speakers while ending the song on a note of passion and enthusiasm. Pre-save "Record Collection," here, which is available on July 1st, on all streaming platforms. We adore the playful and spirited vibe of your latest single, "Record Collection." Was this song inspired by actual events? Or something you wish to be true? The song was less inspired by personal real events and more sort of real events that everyone goes through. The song is about that situation many people find themselves in where they have a friendship with someone from the opposite sex, but they get the wrong idea and try to take it further. It’s also a nod to normalizing platonic friendships between two people of the opposite sex. Could you break down how your trio wrote and recorded your single, "Record Collection?" How did you divide your band's creative process? “Record Collection” came about during the first lockdown when frontman and main songwriter Jack had locked himself in the studio and was on a huge writing spree. The song, amongst others, was brought to the band a couple of months later and they all instantly loved it. It felt new and different. We then went straight into recording it ourselves from home and experimenting with synths, different drum patterns, and other layered sections which added a whole new atmosphere to the track. It all came together very quickly as we just kept working on it until it was done without really any breaks as we were just so excited about the song. In terms of how the band usually divides the creative process, Jack usually writes the song and will bring it to the band, putting their own stamp on it. Ed would go away and work on a drum part that best suits the song and Henry will go and work on the bassline/guitar work and we often all work together on backing vocals and synths. We always try to make every element of the song have a hook to draw people in and keep our sound meaningful and interesting. Do most of your songs offer this classic and nostalgic vibe, similar to the 60s sound and feel of your latest single, "Record Collection?" The nostalgia of the 60s and 70s has always been an important part of our sound. When we started the band way back when we were kids in 2013, we aimed to take the sound of the classics and re-vamp it and make it relevant to an era that is so dependent on technology. It is a totally different world today than what it was in the 60s and 70s and so, whilst there will always be an element of that in our sound, we are aware that music must adapt and keep updating itself with the times as well. Could you drop any hints as to what we should anticipate from your other forthcoming singles? Will you bring a similar upbeat and playful vibe as your recent single "Record Collection?" In terms of the next singles, expect something quite different. In this band, we hate writing the same thing over and over again and so variety is so important to us. Whilst we love our playful songs like “Record Collection,” you can certainly also expect some more candid, down-tempo songs coming. We aim to always expand our musical range, and this is only getting bigger as we grow. What's next for you? Good question. It will be interesting to see what the future holds, we certainly have plans but, as Mike Tyson once said, “everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face.” Over the last year, this quote has meant a lot to the band as we planned to gig extremely heavily during 2020 but that didn’t happen for obvious reasons. But with every hurdle in life, there is an opportunity. Without Covid, we wouldn’t have been able to write our forthcoming new material. So, in terms of the future, we hope to continue to grow our fan base and to develop our sound even further. We hope to get back to gigging regularly as soon as possible and maybe even go abroad for a European or American tour. Whatever happens, we’re sure that it’s going to be a fun ride!

Thank you for having me again, BuzzMusic. I started creating the songs for the project in early December of 2020, I started written songs for the project, putting ideas together, that include both the concepts of the EP and the Cover art of the EP. I say it takes me about few months to build the full storyline of the project. However, a lot of the vocals for the project were recorded in March of 2021 and fully completed in early April. But working on this project was a blessing for me and for my fans because they now get to see more of my artistry, I want everyone to listen to my EP "I Am Angel Dweh" to feel my music, my art, importantly my story. Why did you want to create the title for 'I Am Angel Dweh' to be almost self-titled? Do you feel that the EP is a solid introduction to who you are and the music you create? Naming the EP "I Am Angel Dweh" is a solid introduction to new fans and Liberian around the globe. And yes it to show who I am and the music I create and also to present Liberia to the World musically through my art. Do you have a favorite song within 'I Am Angel Dweh?' What makes you so drawn to this song in particular? Yes! I have few favorite songs on the EP "I Am Angel Dweh", but my "Soldier" is my most favorite song. The instruments in the song itself remind me of when I was in the marching band in high school. And writing the song "Soldier" help me to step out of my comfort zone. Did you have any artistic influences when creating your EP, 'I Am Angel Dweh?' Who were some artists or musicians that inspired you to create this project? I have influences when creating the EP, "I Am Angel Dweh" and one of them is my mom, seeing the way my mom present herself in public and the way she presents the Liberian Culture is the most beautiful things because it helps me to connect to my Liberia root and also to know that she is from Grand Gedeh County of Liberia. Therefore I was able to create this project so everyone can get a better understanding of where I am from and that I am proud of Liberia. Other artists that inspired me to create this project are Fela Kuti, Yemi Alade, Angelique Kidjo, and Takun J, all these artists inspired me to write and sings about my truth on this project. The song "Trouble" on the EP is an inspiration from Takun J's song "My Way". I remember I was listening to the song, and I could hear was how bold he was singing about himself, so I begin to write about how to trouble I am. Do you want to give a shoutout to anyone on your team that helped create your EP 'I Am Angel Dweh?' Who helped you out during the creation of this project? First, I will love to give a shoutout to my cousin Hillzbaby, producer Wakai J, Mama S, and Mardia Gibson for their work behind the scene to make everything possible for the EP " I Am Angel Dweh". I remember when I told them my plan of creating the EP and naming it "I Am Angel Dweh" they were all excited about it and were willing to do all they can to complete this project, the amount of support I receive from them was amazing because I was able to write and create this storytelling EP "I Am Angel Dweh".
