  • RipLoaf Doesn't Hold Back in, "LockJaw"

    Maryland-based artist RipLoaf has taken his talents to the West Coast, where he resides in LA with longtime friend and producer, pzz. Enlisting the production skill set of pzz and dj Khaledsson, RipLoaf offers up the recently released “LockJaw,” to his audience. Floating in an animated realm that focuses on the bright resonance of video game cues, the instrumentation is imaginative in a way that has you intrigued from the moment this song begins to play through your speakers. Dipping into heavy bass components, the contrast is pleasing as the diverse sounds complement each other in a way that has the listening experience in mind. RipLoaf’s witty verses punch through the soundscape with a crisp tone to their essence. With a delivery so self-assured, you feel the confidence seeping through this track as you effortlessly get lost in the music. It’s hard not to bop your head to the beat and sway to its buoyant elements as the progressions leave you fully satisfied, yet simultaneously wanting more. Exuding his techniques in a way that has him establishing his name in lights, RipLoaf is an artist that showcases innovation at its finest. Working closely with pzz and dj Khaledsson in order to give “LockJaw,” the attention it deserves, we have to give credit where credit is due with lyrical motifs such as, ‘I still give them shell shock ‘cause I'm moving too fast. Watch them drop the top now they gone. Where the roof at?’ Be on the lookout for RipLoaf turning heads while he continues to dominate the industry. Welcome to BuzzMusic, RipLoaf. We love the entire concept of “LockJaw.” Could you please share a glimpse of what inspired you to create this song? Do you find that your non-musical influences tend to vary, or do you find consistency in what keeps you inspired? My inspirations vary I really fall in love with an artist's sound and then two weeks later fall in love with a different artist's sound. I’m always back and forth keeping up with who’s new. I would say my nonmusical influences are really my friends and the people I hang around. A lot of the jokes and topics that me and my friends talk about I subconsciously talk about in my music. I love video games and old Nintendo-style characters, those always spark creativity in my brain to then use in my songs and artwork. How was it working with pzz and DJ Khaledsson in order to bring this soundscape to life? Pzz is my long-time best friend and roommate in LA. We recently were connected to DJ khaledsson through a mural and we all became good friends. Me and Pzz went to his house one day they made the beat and the next day I record the vocals at home. In your own words, what does “LockJaw,” mean to you? What are you hoping listeners take away from this song? I would say lockjaw in the context of the song really just means people are starting to notice Pzz and I take what we’re doing seriously, this is what we want and as people who were hating at first start to notice how quickly we continue improving they have no words to say and now want to support. What's next for you? What’s next for me is being consistent with drops. Dropping at least one song and one video each month is key for me. I have a few songs on the way with big features from friends of mine in the industry and I’m hoping that shows more people that I’m really invested in my music Instagram Twitter

  • Vibe to the Natural Grooves of "11TH STREET"

    Collaborating once again in order to produce yet another energetic single, New York’s Young God Blow and Houston’s DAM3 give the people what they want with their most recent treasure. Young God Blow draws influence from the diverse cultures and music of the Afro-Latinx community in which he was raised, while DAM3 takes inspiration from connecting with artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Lil Skies, and J Cole. Piggybacking off the momentum of their previous single, ‘SCORES,’ which netted over 73 thousand streams on Spotify alone, DAM3 and Young God Blow are back with “11TH STREET,” the summer bop that lyrically displays why they’re garnering the attention that they continue to reign in. Displaying the dynamic essence of “11TH STREET,” Young God Blow and DAM3 can be heard exuding their talents through melodically pulsating instrumentation. Meshing together with colossal 808’s, vibrant synths, and graceful ease that has you swaying effortlessly into the grooves conveyed, this record stems from a fortified foundation that charismatically screams, ‘certified hit.’ The clear and present vocal delivery from each artist allows their buttery cadences to cascade with the instrumentation as everything lends together in unity; proving that the mix quality is at an elevated level. Both Young God Blow and DAM3 have something different to offer up in terms of their artistic techniques, yet cohesively remain on the same page for the vigorous display of lyricism and hard-hitting vibration emanating from “11TH STREET.” Smooth with the verses they portray, we admire the knack of wordplay that provokes thoughts and allows your mind to be stimulated as you take in the overall quintessence of this single. Being created on a whim as DAM3 and Young God Blow were riding around Downtown Huntsville at night, the bright essence of those influential moments seep through every word showcased as you transport yourself to the deliberating connotations instilled in “11TH STREET.” Welcome to BuzzMusic, Young God Blow, and DAM3. With yet again, another vibrant single from you both; we would love to know what it was like working together to bring “11TH STREET,” to life? Just like any other previous release DAM3 & I always click on a cohesive level. Whether it's me sending him some stuff or vice versa we know how to bring out each other's best energy. “11TH STREET” was no different, we wanted to do something fun & coming right out of releasing “SCORES” we knew that vibe had to continue. How does the creation and recording process of this track compare to that of “SCORES?" “11TH STREET” is honestly the first time we worked on a song in the studio together, me (young god blow) being from New York & DAM3 being from Texas we always had to work long distance on projects, but being able to have all of our ideas and energy in the same room made for an amazing creative atmosphere. Sending each other music could not compare to actually being in the same place & bouncing that creative aura from one to another. We had an idea, it worked and we made it happen as simple as that. Being created in such an organic way, is this generally how ideas flow between you as a duo and as solo artists? Besides being music creatives DAM3 and I are also really good friends. We’re both very passionate and serious about our craft & the goals we created for ourselves. Having our goals align in a very similar way helps us accomplish the ideas we have creatively, whether that be music videos, songs, or anything else in that realm. I feel like we bring out the best in each other, and that's what makes our working dynamic so fluid. We plan all our moves strategically even helping each other with solo projects. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from “11TH STREET?" Just to kick back and have a fun time. We planned our summer ahead and this is the calm before the storm. The perfect song to just vibe out with your friends, your significant other, or even alone on a late-night car ride. It creates an atmosphere of just being laid back & enjoying the now because that's how it felt making it. What's next for you? We’re releasing singles both collaboratively & separately for the entire summer with June being the month of solo drops. DAM3 is releasing “Nobody” a single reflecting back on how much he's lost in these past few years June 10th and Young God Blow is diving into the hyper pop scene with the lyrical and energetic “ENERGY” ready to hit all platforms June 25th.

  • Rosco Johnny Sways Us Into, "Lullabye"

    From the dusty and sweaty juke joints of the South to the brawling south Texas bar rooms, to the Cathedral dwellings sometimes just down the road from these establishments, Rosco Johnny incorporates all of the sounds from these places in their music. They are a new trio bringing you music in a new way, yet keeping the important history of where their sound has come from. Rosco Johnny brings you Texas Folk with a Shot of Country by way of their powerful, interweaving harmonies and infectious stage presence. With the release of their debut EP 'In Trio 2' Rosco Johnny emerged in an era that better represents the sounds they embody. Fixating ourselves upon the second song featured on this three-track project we get to bask in the delicate sounds of “Lullabye.” Immersing us in a banjo progression that is rich in character, the elusive atmosphere that mightily takes over our headspace is the most pleasant as it amalgamates to a vigorous heaping of musical bliss. Out of the three members, a conveyance of various vocal ranges strikes us with a chilling sensation as they demonstrate the angelic harmonies in a way that seamlessly fuses together. The propelling timbres of Tiffany take on an almost ethereal essence as she commences “Lullabye,” with the grippingly raw portrayal of the carefully crafted lyrics at hand. Later accompanied by the pacifying baritone vocal of Justin, and the dynamic tenor of Morgan, it is greatly apparent that strength in numbers applies to the entire quintessence of Rosco Johnny. Allowing us to float in the atmospheric melodies that gently pull us into their force field, we feel a blanket of security surface as we fall deeper into “Lullabye” and all of its brilliant splendor depicted. Hello Rosco Johnny, welcome to BuzzMuisc, and congratulations on the release of “Lullabye.” Being the follow-up project to “In Trio,” what was the overall concept behind this succession? Thank you, we’re excited to talk to you, too! The idea for the “In Trio” series was for us to re-introduce ourselves as a band with a new name. We began as “Justin Philip Brooks”, but as we began writing new music and working with our producer, Billy Smiley, it became clear that we were in a new era. So we decided on three EPs, three songs each. What was your inspiration behind “Lullabye?" In your own words, what does it mean to you? Justin, here. Years ago, when putting my son to bed each night, he had frequent "visitors" to the imagination that kept him from being able to soundly sleep. One by one we put these worries to rest...the shadows on the wall, the scratching of the branch on the window pane...and thus, the story of the Lullabye was born. There are times in our lives when things seem worse than they actually are. Sometimes what it takes is to turn on the light and find out that everything is ok. With “Lullabye” being so delicate in its sound, did you find it more challenging or easier to create? Inspiration comes from all different kinds of places. Sometimes it requires action, sitting down, and doing the work of trying to craft a song. Other times, it’s an other-worldly thing and you can’t explain why or how an idea comes. This was one of those times where writing the song all happened pretty quickly. I was thinking about the night before when I was comforting my son, and as I was putting on my boots, the "in the dark, in the deep dark of the wood" melody and lyric just popped in my head and the story started to form. What is your mission statement as a collective? We are about creating and experiencing the world through music as a family; sharing our stories that hopefully resonate with others as well. We strive for a constant awareness that when we say we are a “family band', we don't mean only us three. Many in our family have worked hard and made sacrifices for RoscoJohnny to become a reality, and that includes our team of friends that have helped us immeasurably along the way. It takes a village and as we go out and share what we have all worked so hard for, we hope it makes everyone proud. Instagram Facebook

  • Soheill Travels to a Time When His Heart Was, "Red"

    From Los Angeles to Nashville, the alternative-rock artist, producer, and singer-songwriter Soheill releases a breathtaking and emotional single entitled "Red." While staying true to his rock roots, Soheill became enamored by the sounds of synthesizers and drum programming merged with his organic instrumentation. Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Soheill has seen over 500k Spotify and Apple Music streams while also being featured and interviewed on iHeart Alt Rock Radio 97.5. More recently, Soheill wrote a plethora of singles during our pandemic, which leads us to his most recent enthralling release, "Red." The single touches on the heavy emotions one lingers through after a breakup while bringing the listener into an emotionally charged soundscape, blurring the lines of electronic and alt-rock. Listening to "Red," the track begins with downtempo drum breaks and a heavily reverbed electric guitar whaling its way to our hearts. As a tender bass-like synth begins to cascade over the instrumentation, Soheill makes his low and emotional vocal appearance while touching on how he'd give anything to go back in time to when his heart was red. We're more than impressed by the electronic synth use within this single, as it flawlessly merges with the twangy and heartfelt rock-inspired instrumentation. Making his way through the track with the utmost emotion and passion, Soheill makes it difficult to ignore such an honest and vulnerable piece. Towards the outro, the electric guitars pierce our speakers with their dense distortion alongside Soheill's powerful vocal belt, ending the song with a bounty of introspection. Sonically travel to better times with help from Soheill's recent emotional single, "Red," now available on all streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Soheill. We're truly moved by the vulnerability and emotion you've placed into your single "Red." When did you begin feeling compelled to create such an honest single like this? Thank you for the kind words. I feel like in life we lie to ourselves and each other more often than we'd like to admit. "Red" was written on the acoustic in 2017 when I felt like I had lost hope in people and convinced myself that I would be alone forever. There's nothing wrong with being alone, but when you start feeding yourself that dialogue over and over, then it can become a reality. You can read the lyrics from this song and think, "Wow, this guy has issues", or you can read it from the perspective that we all have these kinds of thoughts at one point or another – it's okay to feel hopeless. It's what you do after the thought that matters. I usually write music like it's a journal entry to help me gain perspective. That's why I love music because I know I'm not alone and others can use my words as a catalyst to cope. During your songwriting process for "Red," did you encounter any personal hardships when reaching into your memories and thoughts to transform them into lyrics? Or was this process rather therapeutic? I think it was therapeutic because it helped me surrender some of these thoughts that are stuck in my head. Once I express my thoughts on paper, they are then ready to be freed from my conscience. Did you work with producer Sam Kassirer again for your single, "Red?" Or did you tackle the production process solo? What was the song's recording/production process like? I worked with Sam Kassirer on my EP, "Somewhere Between Love & War". I self-produced "Red". I loved working with Sam, and he taught me a lot but working from home feels relaxed to me and I can take my time getting the performance I want without any external pressures. I would definitely work with him again, but I also wanted to grow as a producer and explore that side of myself. Seeing that you've written a variety of recent songs, would you say that your upcoming releases are similar to the tone, feel, and atmosphere of your latest hit, "Red?" Or do the singles travel in a different direction? The pandemic really put me in a weird mentality where I was constantly trying to stay above water. I have some songs coming up that may be considered "dark" in its mood and lyrical content. I don't like defining myself as one thing, and my music will always evolve. But to answer your question, a couple of the songs have a similar vibe in that they're mellow and use 80's sounding synths. I also have one that's very upbeat and more rock-influenced.

  • Amor de Paris Gets Caught in a "Love Affair"

    The Los Angeles-based electronic producer Amor de Paris sends us into a spacious abyss with his recent celestial single entitled "Love Affair." Launching his artistic side project in 2019, Amor de Paris felt inspired to do so through retro horror film influences like Nightmare on Elm Street to artistic influences such as Depeche Mode, New Order, Boy Harsher, and Daft Punk. As countless opportunities came knocking at his door, Amor de Paris has now decided to take a break from creating music while releasing his past projects over the next year. Doing so with his latest single, "Love Affair," Amor de Paris leads us down a hazy path through his retro-inspired synth arrangements and mid-tempo drum breaks. The track's transcendent and groovy sonics truly take listeners back a few decades while perfectly exemplifying the type of sounds that Amor de Paris passionately creates. Hitting play on "Love Affair," the track opens with an 80s inspired mid-tempo drum arrangement alongside a pulsating sci-fi synth. As the sonics begin to expand, we're met with the addition of bright synth bursts and a melodic array of background pads that slowly make a broader and larger appearance as they slightly increase in sound. This track is incredibly fluid, especially as the sonics continue their groovy venture with the addition of a low and groaning bassline that punches our speakers with a booming low end. Reaching the song's end, Amor de Paris shares a cinematic and mysterious vibe through his powerful and crisp retro house-inspired synth arrangements that leave us wanting to get back into our scorching nightclubs. Get caught in a "Love Affair" with Amor de Paris' latest transcendent single, now available to bump on all digital streaming platforms. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Amor de Paris. We're deep in the retro and mysterious groove of your latest single, "Love Affair." When did you begin creating ideas and sounds for this track? The idea started after listening to a couple of bands; to name a few, Boy Harsher, Kavinsky, Depeche Mode, Crystal Castles, and Actors. I had started with a sequenced synth and a lead synth, shortly later, I added the drums. At this time, I noticed the sample had potential and I just kept working on it here and there until I found the right melodies. What did you want your listeners to feel and experience after listening to the six-minute single, "Love Affair?" To tell you the truth, I never expected the song to be six-minute-long because in the process I wasn't concerned about time. I'm mostly focused on the feeling it gives; approaching it as theatrical as it could get, giving people an emotional rollercoaster. What inspired the song title for "Love Affair?" How does the song title compliment the vibe of the sonics? The song title came from the idea of this song to take you through this emotional journey and at the time what had popped in my head to best describe it was a love affair. Seeing that you're taking a break from creating music as you continue to release past projects, would you like to mention any forthcoming tracks or projects we should anticipate? I'm actually going to continue to work on Amor de Paris but also looking to start up old and new projects that are involved in different genres such as Beach Cities (Indie Project), Ravenous Wolves (Progressive Ambient Rock), and a couple of electronic/indie projects that are developing including DJs/bands such as Linusdayz, Warsaw Pact, D’auria, and Jose Faundez from The Voxes.

    Untdld is a Hip-Hop artist from Chicago, currently residing in the City of Brotherly Love Philadelphia, PA. His in-depth bars and rhythmic delivery give his music a soothing yet upbeat vibe and an impactful feel. At 8 years old, Untdld had a deep love and passion for music. Growing up, he was heavily inspired by Hip-Hop artists such as Mos Def, The Roots, Kanye West, and Gospel Music. He transitioned from an avid listener to an artist in early 2016 and has blazed a trail for his music career ever since. Dipping into the intriguing spirits of his most recent single, “Sealed” Untdld delivers a heavy-hitting bop that has us fully immersed in his artistic talents. If Anderson. Paak took his skill set to a more forthright Hip-hop setting, you would have the soundscapes of Untdld. Taking a unique approach to each verse he offers up, we hear him flaunting his lyrical dexterity in a way that plays towards his knack for wordplay and witty quips. There are futuristic elements driven into the instrumentation that have us feeling refreshed with the innovative aspects delivered. Fitting the dynamism of Untdld, his articulated bars coincide with the musical components in a way that screams superiority. Sifting through the various highs and lows of this “Sealed” journey, we float towards the trucking ambitions that you hear poured throughout each moment of Untdld’s ability to ride a beat. Meticulous with the blatant juxtaposition he chooses to utilize, you don’t need to search for imagery to match what’s heard. Jumping from the speakers you have all that is Untdld’s charisma and confidence. Self-assured with the moves he’s making, we have no doubts that Untdld will be the next name we see in lights as he keeps us with household heavy hitters. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Untdld, and congratulations on the release of “Sealed.” With a track of this caliber, what inspired the meaning behind the lyrics heard? What’s going on BuzzMusic family. Everything I create comes from my faith background. We are days removed from Passover but those blessings last all year. One of the blessings states that God will assign angels to us. I wanted to write a song about the protection we have via God’s angels. When I say “you can hit me with your best hook, but you can never drop me” I’m not talking about a person I’m talking about spirits that try to block us from reaching our destiny. This is spiritual warfare. What does this song say about you as an artist and individual? How are you hoping your listeners perceive it? This song tells the story of who I am in God. My confidence, my strength come from God. I hope listeners hear the importance of having a relationship with God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. Could you please share what the vibes were like during the recording session? Did anyone else contribute to the weighty sound of “Sealed?" Vibes were dope. I made this beat back in January and then actually wrote and recorded the song in March. I’m a part of a group called TLS (The Listening Session) and we share music ideas we have and provide honest critics and they challenged me to be better whole writing this song. Shout to TLS. Throughout your artistic career this far, have you found specific aspects for it that love you more than the rest? I can’t really say I have. I mean I love the new relationships I’ve been developing if that answers the question. What can we expect to see next from you? More music. More music videos. Probably an EP in the late summer. Got to stay tuned lol. Instagram Facebook

  • Cory Singer Tours Us Through Heartfelt Emotion in "Someone"

    There’s a lot of things that you might be surprised to learn about TikTok sensation Cory Singer. For one, he’s a triple threat. In addition to being a social media influencer with nearly two million likes on the popular short-form video-sharing platform, Cory Singer is also an accomplished musical theater performer and an avid singer-songwriter. The multi-talented 26-year-old artist has devoted most of his creative energy to developing his craft as an indie singer-songwriter. Although he credits the show tunes he listened to growing up with influencing his approach to songwriting, he derives inspiration from a diverse array of genres and artists, ranging from Queen to Neil Young. Believe it or not, it was actually Kandi Burruss who drove Cory Singer to start creating original music. As we take in the latest striking power ballad, “Someone,” we feel a moment of release come over us as we get lost in the music and for mere moments and let all of our cares fly freely. That’s what it’s like taking in a Cory Singer creation, and even more so with both a sonic and visual offering for his fan base worldwide. The warm instrumentation outlines the beloved tenors that are exposed to us through the peaks and valleys of this masterpiece. Fixating ourselves upon the music video portion of this full package, we admire the simplicity that is laced into the storyline and subplot being presented to us. Exposing various profiles of Cory Singer through zoomed-in and distant shots, we see the intimacy pour from a vulnerable sector of himself that he allows us to venture in on. The overlapping scenes add dimension and more dramatic flair as the elegance of a simplistic background allow you to truly listen to the words matching the themes of love. Taking our attention to the main storyline where we see a tale of puppy love flourishing in the cityscape, we love the fact that we get to tag along to the events that this couple partakes in for the day. Also showing that there may in fact be a love triangle upon them with Cory Singer in the mix, he places his temptation on hold to listen to what his mind is telling him. With a classical and timeless voice that towers over us in heartrending croons, we encourage listeners to get lost in this piece, as the essence evokes emotion and leaves much more to the imagination. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Cory Singer. We loved being able to take in the music video for “Someone.” This piece speaks to us thoroughly. What is the inspiration behind the lyrics heard in this song? What is its meaning to you? To me personally, I wanted to share my struggles with having autism and finding someone to love and accept me as I am. I feel this is a message that will speak to everyone struggling to find their special someone. Could you please share a glimpse of your thought process behind the visual component? Did the vision come out the exact way you intended it to? I loved the visual presentation and my team worked with me to bring the storyboard to life. Covid also played a part in how we made the video. My part in the video was filmed in NJ and the couple that represented what I want for my future was filmed in Nashville. I thought it was a clever way to film the video while keeping all who were involved safe. At the time we filmed the video vaccinations were not yet available. Living with autism, have you found any struggles surrounding the stigma play into your career as an artist? Yes. People who do not understand autism seem to have a knee-jerk reaction to my sharing my autism with them. They assume that I am not able to perform professional tasks, when in fact I am one of the most professional artists I know with a killer work ethic. That is why I took to TikTok to start normalizing autism for myself and the community. With an EP on the way, what can you tell your audience about what you have in store for them? Does “Someone,” tie into this forthcoming release at all? Yes, it does. My EP is all about love. We need this kind of positivity in our lives right now, we have all been through so much since the pandemic started. What's your favorite release this year so far, from an independent artist you admire? I am a fan of The Highway Women. I wrote one of their first songs "The Devil". It was an honor to have them record the song. It's been fun watching them grow and prosper over the past two years. Their new single "Dead Man Walking" is incredible. The lyrics, written by three writers including Drew Haley who is a member of the Group were so well executed. The production was fire. I really like seeing other artists grow and rise up. There is so much opportunity for all of us in this industry but they are a stand-up group who has been through a lot over the years and I am so proud of them. I can't wait to see where they continue to go in their career. @highwaywomen on all socials. Instagram Facebook
