Hello Fionn and welcome to BuzzMusic. First off, we must note how impressed we are with the release of your brilliant and charismatic single, "Let Me Go." Where did the song's concept stem from? What inspired the song's theme? When we started writing ‘Let Me Go’ with our collaborator Jared Maneirka, we were looking for a sad and angsty disco song. When he sent us a perfect moody upbeat track, the lyrics came out so quickly! The plotline of the song came from personal experiences we have had in the past that we were really able to connect to when we heard the dark disco beats. Did you work alongside any songwriters or producers when creating your energetic single, "Let Me Go?" Yes! We worked on this track with our talented friend Jared Manierka. We truly admire your theatrical performances within the music video for "Let Me Go." What was the overall shooting process like? Did a director accompany you during the shoot? The music video was directed by Lindsey Blane who also used her sewing talents to add the beautiful flowing white fringe on our sleeves during the outdoor scenes! We had a very small crew on set due to covid-19 and did all of our own stylings except for the gorgeous black sparkly dresses made by Kiarash Tarikhi from his line ‘King and Reign’. We hired a choreographer to help us come up with a dance routine, trying to give the video more drama and energy. We've heard that you're working with Josh Ramsay again for your forthcoming EP. Could you enlighten our readers on what it's like to work with an industry icon like Ramsay? Working with Josh has been a breeze! The three of us connected so quickly when we started writing together, and everything we made after that came out so naturally. We love his band and have always appreciated his talent! What's next for you? We’re releasing an EP on May 21st called ‘Candid Constellations’ filled with songs that helped lift us up during the Pandemic, and we hope that they can do the same for our listeners! Instagram

What is the inspiration behind the lyrics of this song? Thank you I appreciate the support BuzzMusic shows to the music community, as an artist we really do appreciate it when the audience picks up on the vibes we are trying to convey. The inspiration behind “Gunna Man” was to give people an anthem, I wanted to make a song to put people in a mood “to just go out and get it”. “By any means necessary “ like the brother Malcolm X once said. I wanted to give the audience a mantra that they could start their day with. We can only imagine how much fun the studio session was when recording this song. Could you please take us into what that process looked like and who helped bring this song to life? The studio session for this one started off with good energy. My producer A-Man who is by the way producer /engineer of Gunna Man called and said “P. Chase I got one for you come through,” and just hung up on me lol. So I ended coming for the session soon as I got there he had a smile on his face and just turned on the beat. After I heard it I knew I had to go in on it. With the beat being so hard-hitting I know I had to come with a chant-type hook and some witty, aggressive wordplay. So I just got in both thinking to myself “talk that talk.” And I just started rapping and it just all came together. Once I saw the look on A-Man (@a_manmade1) face after I spit the first verse. I knew I had recorded to hit the people with. Besides the genre of Hip-hop, do you find musical influences from any other sources of music or non-music-related outlets? I like all types of music genres, I’m a fan of R&B Dru Hill, Jodeci & an artist by the name of Mzee Jones @nodaysoff on Instagram are a few of my favorite artists. I’m also a fan of rock n roll, soul music artists like Teddy Pendergrass, Minnie Riperton, Guns N’ Roses, Chris Daughtry are all artists that I listen to. But as far as inspiration I would have to say my first thought goes to my son, then to my friends and family, they all keep me grounded. What is the main message that you send to your listeners through your artistry? I would say the message that I’m trying to convey with my music would be, motivation & honesty. though my music at times can be masochistic, aggressive, vulgar, and vulnerable. It’s real. It’s a reflection of the different feelings that we all go through. No one person is the same person all the time. In a world where everyone is trying to prove they a real one. I'm just trying to show that you can be real period. “By any means necessary." Instagram

Welcome to BuzzMusic, Gabriella Stella, and congratulations on the release of your latest single “Dirty Laundry.” We love the entire atmosphere that is brought out in this single. You hone in on such a mature sound, that it’s impressive. Where did the inspiration strike for the lyrics that we hear on “Dirty Laundry?" Thank you so much I am so glad you enjoyed the song. It always feels nice when someone appreciates the art you create. When I wrote the song "Dirty Laundry" I was dealing with the give/take of an unhealthy relationship. When you are new to a relationship you are in the honeymoon stage and then the red flags start to appear. You are looking at the world with rose-colored glasses so be aware of the different shades. We’ve caught wind that there’s a music video set to be released for “Dirty Laundry.” Could you please share some more details about that? Of course, the music video has a nostalgic feel to it. We have this old laundromat in my town that I thought was perfect for the background of some shots. I wanted it to have a lighter feeling than "Bad Love" MV. When the director and I came up with the storyboard we sent each other photos or videos for inspiration. Other artists love to do lyric videos and music videos separately, but I wanted to have the video be both. How does “Dirty Laundry” compare to other songs released in your music catalog? This song is different from other songs by mixing sad lyrics with a playful beat. I did a play on words throughout the whole song with the lyrics; for example "Dirty Laundry, can't bleach these mistakes". I wanted to incorporate things that dealt with laundry but had an emotional undertone. With such a seamless blend of a strong message yet playful essence in your authenticity, what are you hoping that your audience takes away from this track? I would love for people to take away the message of everything isn't what it seems. Selena Gomez said it best "Everything is not what it seems" and if you know what that's from I love you. But all in seriousness just see those behavior patterns and make yourself aware of them. You have to listen to your intuition and never stray away from that. I had to realize those red flags weren't going away just because I was trying to pretend they were white. What's next for you? I am working on new music and keeping myself happy/healthy. I have been able to focus on my music more so it feels nice to be able to do that. I just can't wait to release new music and new projects. Instagram Facebook

Lawrence MA is home to singer and songwriter Biajavier. Heavily influenced by R&B and Latin American styles of music. She studied at Berklee College of Music, which is how Boston became her second home. Biajavier is an R&B vocalist who incorporates Spanish into her music with the intention to expand and cater to all lovers of music. Her goal is to create art that transcends and connects with people of all backgrounds and to represent her community and culture. Delving into her most recent release, we’re infatuated with the powerful sounds coming from vast intimate settings on her EP, 'Motions.' Exuding a deluxe offering of her sultry timbres that showcase a miscellany of emotions that stem from personal experiences in adoration, Biajavier delivers listeners five songs that go hand in hand with one another as they sweep us into her warm embrace through a storytelling narrative. Delicately trickling into euphonious croons that shine a light on her wide vocal range and the bilingualism in the language of both English and Spanish, the initial single heard on this striking composition is “Abysmo.” Directly translating to the abyss in English, Biajavier uses the title of this song to metaphorically reference her love life. The words that she takes us through are vulnerable and passion-fueled as we explore the way she lost herself in a deep love that pulled her into its abyss of highs and lows. Wrapping our heads around the heartfelt messaging, the tribute to her late grandmother allows us to hear a cherished moment where Biajavier shares an intimate pep talk from her Abuelita's wisdom. For those who are unfamiliar with the language of Spanish, the celestial words expressed convert to "What matters is how you carry yourself as a woman, how you value yourself, that people know you as a person and take you seriously. You hear me?" Second, on the tracklist, we get to tap into the buoyancy sealed into the vibrant persona that Biajavier rhythmically finesses. “Not Looking Back,” shows off the lyrical talents of Biajavier as she matches the effervescent tempo in honeyed cadences that prove she can flex her vocal techniques in both an upbeat and slowed-down setting. Depicting vivid imagery that focuses on the thesis of the forward momentum you embody when moving on from an unbridled relationship that consumed you in intoxicating love. Fusing together a tracklist that amalgamates each unique melody to bring forth the bigger picture is no easy feat, and we hear Biajavier fashioning this opulent environment first hand. Enlisting the artistic essence of EIGHTYEIGHT’s soothing vocal performance in order to achieve the desired sound of “Whitney and Bobby,” the title of this song fits the soundscape impeccably as we’re transported to a narrative to the two people locked into a relationship where the love one another, but don’t see eye to eye. Tugging on the themes of the previous songs on 'Motions,' this specific track hones in on the back and forth until the ultimate halt to the relationship. The reverberated echoes that bolster this record to be the therapeutic framework of our own life’s journey are remarkable. Dynamism surges through this track as we feast upon the united front these two artists indulge in so we can hear the two perspectives as the story goes on. Basking in the glorious spirit of a love that has come to an end, we’re absorbed in the destiny that was lived out. Changing the pace and pampering us in warm guitar chords infiltrating the hopes of new beginnings, Biajavier invites us into a transition towards a brighter tomorrow. “En Mi Mente,” features the comforting hues of J. Rose and Jona Ferreira as the perspective shifts to what it’s like to start over and meet someone new. The lyrical concept paints a picturesque vivacity that allows us to sit with ease as we fall into the allure of Biajavier. Once again picking featured artists that are versatile in their technique and enhance this composition in robust timbres, the canvas of graceful juxtaposition has us embracing the welcoming hues that Biajavier intends to implant. Closing off the expedition of 'Motions,' Biajavier introduces a Caribbean ambiance in the energetic instrumentation that seeps into “Loving Me.” Providing an uplifting epitome in a manner that allows the melismatic vocalization of Biajavier to glimmer under the rays of newfound love, we’re ecstatic to share the vibrations with her as she takes us on a journey of someone’s love life. The culmination of the project allows us to lounge in what started as uncertainty and doubt, but instead lead us to a new light and optimism. Hello Biajavier and welcome BuzzMuisc. We loved listening to 'Motions,' from front to back as it elaborated on a tale of the highs and lows of love. What inspired such an ingenious concept to have each song flow into one another the way that it did? I would say that my actual experiences with love and the dating world are what really inspired this project. I believe it's important to tell a story so I do my best to channel those moments in my life and relive certain experiences so that I can write from that perspective. Sonically, I wanted to make sure that the song transitions flowed together. A lot of that came about simply by just listening to each record, and making sure that each song was cohesive, not just with the sound but also lyrically. I wanted to make sure that I could take my listeners on a journey while listening to this project. I want people to feel that when they hear this. What is the significance behind this project as a whole? What are you hoping that your audience takes away from it? The significance behind this project is to take the audience on a journey and to really experience the motions of love and life. I believe that love has its ups and downs and of course, these are moments that defined my journey, and why I make music and write about the things that I write about. When I think of Motions I think of the literal term of moving, in this case moving with life and its lessons but also the eMOTIONS that come with love and loss. Out of the five songs offered on “'Motions,' do you have a specific song that resonates with you more than the others? What’s your reasoning? I love all of my songs, but I would say ABYSMO is really special because I was able to dedicate that song to my grandmother who recently passed away due to Covid-19. It was a way for me to keep her memory alive and to honor her through my music. In the song, she's saying how important it is to value yourself as a woman and that people respect who you are, and to remember that you're someone. Could you please share what it was like working with J. Rose, EIGHTYEIGHT, and Jona Ferreira on 'Motions?' Were there any other people involved in the creation of this EP that helped to contribute to the desired sound? J.Rose, EIGHTYEIGHT, and Jona Ferriera were all super amazing to work with, they are all really talented artists. J.Rose also produced "En Mi Mente", and the other producers were Mike Benj, Sean "SynthSei" Alexander, Ayy-Dot, and Sam-e Lee Jones. This talented team of musicians helped me bring this project to life. What has been your biggest takeaway from releasing this EP? My biggest takeaway has been the love this project has received and getting messages from people telling me about their favorite records, as well as how much people love my grandmother's message in ABYSMO. My hope is that this body of work continues to expand to a larger audience and can resonate with the listeners. Instagram

On the grind since 2008, the singer-songwriter, producer, and r&b artist Jerelle returns to emphasize his continuous journey with a reflective single, "Up All Night." Jerelle found himself in many creative endeavors throughout his childhood and adolescence, from writing poetry, singing, and listening to music. After realizing that music was his calling, Jerelle later established a unique r&b sound with help from his fascination with guitars and heavy drum breaks. Now releasing his contemplative single, "Up All Night," Jerelle explores his subconscious mind through heavy-hitting lyrics and smooth r&b sonics/instrumentals. While riding the beat with incredible poise and composure, Jerelle makes it difficult to ignore such a moving and intriguing sound. Beginning our journey into the single "Up All Night," we're met with soothing r&b keys and a haunting array of ghost vocals. Once the soft beat drops with textured drum breaks, Jerelle makes his way in to release his inner thoughts and troubles. Right off the bat, we can't help but hear a similarly intense and honest vibe to Russ; however, Jerelle provides a more personal and genuine experience. What we adore about Jerelle is that there's no need to search for lyrics and ponder over what he's saying, as his crisp, tight, and articulate vocal delivery lets listeners deep into his musical experience the first time around. What also stands out is Jerelle's honest ways, as he hits us with meaningful bars like "-the mic is my therapist, ease the demons in my mind while I air it out," truly leaving us in awe throughout the entire song. Find Jerelle's recent introspective single "Up All Night" on all streaming platforms, and show the young singer-songwriter some love as he lets us into his personal and creative world. Hello Jerelle and welcome back to BuzzMusic. We're genuinely moved by the organic tones and personal themes within your recent single, "Up All Night." What pushed you to create this heavily reflective single? “Up All Night” honestly came together super organically. I was going through a lot in the past two years, just like everyone else... I lost family members, almost lost cousins, canceled tours, and was working on getting through some things on my mental. I had friends I lost due to my actions in the past and I was kinda reflecting on some things from my past. Exposed a few things about it too. but I’ll always let the music do the talking. We highly appreciate your genuine lyricism and bars within "Up All Night." What did you want to plant in listeners' minds with your lyricism in this single? I wanted people to truly understand first of all, where I am coming from.. I had things to say, where I felt people could relate. And secondly, music is always therapeutic for me.. I have to release some things heavy on my mind and heart. I wanted people to know it’s normal to feel this way and to think these things. We lose people, we move on and create new relationships. It’s just how life is. It’s no longer keeping me “Up All Night”. Did you work entirely solo when creating the smooth sonics for "Up All Night?" How did you formulate the sonics to offer this soothing and reflective atmosphere? I didn’t create this solo. I recently connected with one of my favorite producers from across the world. Mickey from Australia has truly held me down through this pandemic. From venting and figuring out things in my head, to working on music with me remotely. It’s been a pleasure. We have so much more music hidden and locked in the vault, we can’t wait to release it to the world. Mickey produced the beat beautifully and I recorded, mixed, and mastered the track. I tried to keep things empty and raw, to keep the whole emotion to its purest form. Are there any artists or producers that you look up to when experiencing a creative block? Who are some of your artistic inspirations? Creative block always seems to happen when the most need to get done.. But I always try to clear my mind outside of music. And then tap back in when my mind is clear. I always run to find inspiration from artists such as JON BELLION, G-EAZY, or JUSTIN BEIBER... They all seem to inspire me with their BTS of their musical creativity and inspired me to release some BTS of my own. You can find them all on my YOUTUBE channel at BEWARE SOUND. BUZZMUSIC LA, thank you for always giving artists like me an outlet to be showcased. We all have been working hella hard, after all, you guys have been through and the world together in the past year. We appreciate you, girls, doing what you do. Much love and I can’t wait to get more music out to y’all! Instagram Facebook

Based in Copenhagen, Denmark, the young-blooded alternative-rock trio Blue Traffic Lights spice our days with their exhilarating and power-hungry single, "Crying Out for Help." Known for their heart-pounding and psychedelic sound, Blue Traffic Lights best resides under the stylings of alternative-rock, yet never shies away from expansion and exploration. Comprised of Jolan, Philip, and Mathe, the three beating hearts behind Blue Traffic Lights continue to turn heads throughout our industry as they approach the release of their forthcoming debut album. Now releasing their cut-throat single, "Crying Out for Help," listeners can catch Blue Traffic Lights in a sweltering instrumental atmosphere with help from their explosive sounds and exhilarating tones. While lead vocalist Jolan touches on themes of our world coming to an end as we know it, all three members blast through the track with vigor and strength. Jumping into "Crying Out for Help," the venture opens with Jolan's scorching hot electric guitar whaling in the foreground while Philip's savory bass licks and Mathe's pounding drum breaks make their way in. During the first verse, Philip's plucky and stimulating bassline leads the way alongside Jolan's powerful vocal delivery. Expanding on Jolan's lyricism, he tells a rather eerie yet highly relatable tale of our world falling apart at the seams and managing to find your way our safely. We must note the impeccable tempo transitions from drummer Mathe, as he adds vast heat and power to this stimulating track while maintaining the groovy and foot-stomping rhythm. Don't miss out on the invigorating experience of Blue Traffic Lights' latest single, "Crying Out for Help," and catch the band's forthcoming debut album later this year on all streaming platforms. Hello Blue Traffic Lights, and welcome to BuzzMusic. We're getting down and dirty with the release of your powerhouse single, "Crying Out for Help." Where did you find the inspiration to create this striking and conceptual hit? Well, we were really inspired by a lot of blues-rock riffs, like the riffs from "I Got Mine" by Black Keys and "Suffocation Blues" by Black Pistol Fire. We've always thought that we needed a really badass riff like that in our repertoire and this is what we came up with. Could you break down the instrumental creative process for "Crying Out for Help"? How did each member go about creating and recording their parts? We actually just started playing together when we came up with the idea for the song. Jolan played a guitar riff he thought was cool. He showed it to the rest of us, we jammed it out and we had a song. Our very first song in fact. We did some adjustments along the way through, as the weird break in the middle of the third chorus was actually absent a couple of weeks before we took it to the studio. Who wrote the lyricism for your single, "Crying Out for Help?" Was this a shared process, or does one member handle your band's songwriting? Our lead singer, Jolan writes all the lyrics in the band. Usually, he comes up with a theme for his lyrics or something he wants to express. After that, it's up to the rest of us to create an atmosphere that supports and carries his message through to our audience and on this song, Philip and Malthe really nailed it! What should we expect to hear from your forthcoming debut album? Will the album explore different instrumental sounds and approaches outside of alt-rock? The album will be a lot like following the white rabbit into its rabbit hole. You won't know what to expect from it until you land in wonderland. We're definitely trying to stay within alt-rock but there are lots of psychedelic and indie features as well. There's gonna be a lot of musical freedom in an aspect of complete and absolute chaos but we've made sure that the hidden beauty gets showcased every now and then. If we're gonna tell you to expect anything then expect a truly dark, but very life-affirming experience. Instagram Facebook
