I’ve got to give all the glory to the man upstairs. Without him reminding me of my destiny I wouldn’t be here today. My good friend and business partner Trone have been a staple in my success story. He also coproduced Blitz. He’s not afraid, to be honest with me and push me to do better. I can’t lose with these guys on my side. What's next for you? I’m looking forward to connecting with new fans. As soon as the world opens back up I’ll be putting on a show near you. Be on the lookout for Blitz's official music video. Twitter

The Louisiana-based multi-instrumentalist, singer-songwriter, producer, and country artist Newton James opens his heart with a breathtaking ballad, "Love In Vain." Mixing a blend of rock, alt-country, and blues-rock into his sound, Newton James creates music with the intent of allowing others to relate. Serving reflection on a platter, James tells stories through his life experiences and translates his emotions through the art of music. Recently releasing his latest country ballad entitled "Love In Vain," Newton James mentioned that he found inspiration for this song through a pre-covid walk through New Orleans and noticing a newly-wed couple. Watching their joy and love compelled James to create the piece while also wanting to remind listeners to hold onto hope after a heartbreak. "Love In Vain" softly begins with Newton James' vocals alongside warm acoustic guitar melodies and a tender piano. As he begins setting the song's passionate and emotional tone through his poetic lyricism, James truly brings us into the overwhelming emotions of love within a matter of seconds. What stands out is Newton James' heartfelt lyrics, serenading any listener who graces this track. While he continues whispering his love for someone and how grateful he is to be in their presence, the supporting instrumentals drift their way towards the outro at a down-tempo and relaxed pace. We can't help but sink into reflection with help from Newton James' emotion-evoking performance and concept. Allow Newton James to serenade you with the utmost heart and passion through his latest single, "Love In Vain," now available on all streaming platforms. We love the passion and honesty you've brought to your single, "Love In Vain." When watching those newly-weds in New Orleans, were you instantly inspired to create this single? Or was it a more protracted process? Really cool question. Yes, at the moment I was inspired by the concept. However, I waited to pen out the song until I figured out how to say exactly what I wanted to say. I've always been very self-conscious of my voice, so I push myself to let the lyrics and music make up for it when writing. When I realized I had a concept for a song that I believed in, I was like "Ok, I've got this idea, let me just tuck this on the side for when it's the right time." I let that stuff happen on its own. When a song is ready to come to life, it lets me know. How did you achieve such a blissful, melodic, and passionate instrumental atmosphere within "Love In Vain?” What was the song's instrumental process like? Thank you. Being a musician first before having the confidence to grow into a lyricist, it has always been natural for me put a lot of thought into the sonic aesthetics of my music. The setup is straightforward acoustic and electric guitar, bass, and drums. The atmospheric undertones you hear are me playing slide on a regular six-string electric guitar. I wish I had an actual slide guitar because I feel I could have pulled out more of what I was going for. Just doing the best I can with what I have at the moment. What should we expect to see from your upcoming music video for "Love In Vain?” How will you emphasize the song's theme within the video? It's going to be doodle-inspired with a combination of keywords and images that represent the lyrics throughout the song. So even if the sound is turned off, the viewer will still be able to understand what the song is about. I'm pretty excited! It's something I haven't done before and different from what I've seen. How does "Love In Vain" stand out from the rest of your discography? Do you often switch up your lyrical themes and concepts, or are you best known for writing about specific topics? I would say "Love In Vain'' is a step in a different direction. Usually, I write about anxiety and maintaining a positive mindset with songs like "House of Mind '' or "The Siege". I definitely felt out of my element at first, but when I finished "Love In Vain" I knew it was a solid song that stood on its own and was pretty confident in sharing it. I feel it's within the last few years after establishing ground in songwriting and the engineering aspects of recording that I have felt more comfortable diving into other topics. There's always room to expand and that's what I love about making music the most. It's a very freeing experience. What's next for you? First, I want to say thank you to my family and everyone for always being encouraging and supportive. Aside from the music video coming out soon, I'm always writing, so there's definitely more music coming! I definitely want my music on more playlists than I did last year. That would be pretty cool. As funny as this sounds, I'm also working on trying to show my face more. I'm a black alternative rock/country musician from the south of the south in the United States. I've always been so focused on the music being in the forefront before people see what I look like, rather than them seeing what I look like and then making an assumption on what my music will sound like. I'm starting to feel like I have this "faceless persona", but that's not the case! Aside from that, I'm just going to aim to continue living comfortably making music. It's a marathon, not a sprint. It keeps me happy. Instagram

Mixing together the sounds of its native borough, electronic beats, distinctive analog instrumentation, and a thick brew of strings and synths, the miscellany of resonance is sifted through a reconstructive filter, centered by KALEN’s lush and expansive voice. Delving into the ominous soundscape of Death By Piano’s most recent single “Emergency,” we are familiar with the dark undertones layered through emotive intricacy and frightful bliss in the amalgamation of artistic genius. With the vibrant music video currently being released, “Emergency,” is taking our attention to a futuristic film component that captures the essence of Death By Piano’s uncanny echoes. Collaborating with Cameron Whitehouse in order to portray the neon-filled animated visuals, the enticing elements drenched into “Emergency sonically, are transitioning to the cinematic motions that occur when we navigate through an electric city filled with mystery and copious cerulean neon lights. As we convert to the dominance shifted from male to female lead vocal in the track, the visuals expand as we are guided through the futuristic landscape wreaking havoc on the city by an otherworldly takeover. Matching the tempo and intensity as we sit and bask in the thorough unification of auditory and pictorial atmospheres, we admire the manner in which Death By Piano elaborates a tale through their lyrical content, which is then tapered into an abstract visual concept. “Emergency,” is the type of song and music video that lingers in your mind as it lurks through the crevasses of unpredicted exploration, and Death By Piano makes damn sure of that. We love the full concept explored through the sonic and visuals elements of “Emergency.” Could you please take us into what prompted the lyrical perception of this song? It was all Cameron Whitehouse. The song was about intense personal relationships coming to a head. That can be with oneself or a loved one. But eventually personal and collective choices must be made. Cameron took this and abstracted it further to themes of good and evil and made the setting our chosen hometown, NYC, just as NY was suffering from multiple crises. When did you know the visuals would shine on a revolutionary brilliance? Could you please take us into your representation of the music video? Again, it was all Cameron. We’ve been friends for many years and I’ve been following his artistic career over the past decade. I got really into these fluid-particle simulations he was posting and he finally agreed to work with me on something. Haha. So...we embarked on collaborating on all three songs. Really, though, I trusted him and gave him a lot of space to do whatever he thought was cool and communicate visually however the songs moved him. We would touch base periodically and I’d give a little feedback...we’d bat around some ideas, but mostly it was Cam. What was it like working with Cameron Whitehouse in order to achieve the vision? How long did this concept take to bring to life? He’s a doll. It took a while because Cam’s regular work is bonkers, but it happened in its time. It was a pleasure. What are you hoping that your audience takes away from the themes and messaging in “Emergency?" Whatever the f*ck they want. But also, to let their light prevail. What's next for you? The Hellish EP will be released late this spring, all with custom art by Dan Mandell and an epic music video by Lena Rudnick. Instagram Facebook

Songwriter, music producer, and audio engineer; just a few of the titles that the multifaceted OXH proudly wears. Being self-produced allows OXH to have control over every aspect, from music production and sound design to the recording process. Allowing our focus to transition to his latest single, “Full Moon,” the dark vibrancy radiated in this track has us engulfed in what OXH does best as an artist; attacking a beat with his witty bars. Recruiting the endowments of his label mate Shaun Wolf, we know that we’re in for a treat as we fully take in the artistic value of this record. Dichotomizing the thesis that lies within the mesmerizing soundscape of “Full Moon,” we hear OXH paying homage to those who have paved the way. He pipes up as he declares recognition for fallen artists and some who are still around today. The complexity that runs through his lyrical dexterity is tough to hold a flame to. We are exposed to numerous sides of the artist and individual before we even reach the captivating hook. Shaun Wolf spreads his finesse over the chorus as he drives the energy up a notch preparing us for the wit that spews from the lyrical routes explored by OXH. “Full Moon,” casts hues of ominous tones that allow you to sink deep into your seat as the energy emitted fuels your spirit. A master at his game, OXH is undoubtedly taking over the realm of Hip-hop as he continues to slay in a word massacre that is perfectly represented in, “Full Moon.” Congratulations on the release of your latest single featuring Shaun Wolf titled, “Full Moon.” We know that you have often worked with Shaun Wolf in the production of many of his records, but what was it like to work with him on a track of your own? It felt like I was writing my hair. Whenever I and Shaun Wolf collaborate, he’s got this way of piecing together melodies and different types of energy that I knew I wanted for this track. When the hook comes then when all of the production comes to its peak you hear and feel the energy that we were going for. Could you please share a glimpse of what the creative process looked like when you brought “Full Moon,” to life? How did this process compare to other songs that you have released? Originally, I was making the beat with thoughts of sending it out in a pack to one of my favorite artist's king los. But during the process of creating the beat, I started to come up with ideas and melodies that I just could not pass on. Being a producer allows me to see a track for what it is before the completion of it. This song’s different for me because I’ve been producing “hits” for other artists and knew it was my time to create for myself. As the creator, what is the meaning behind this wordplay riddled track? I’m super inspired by, bar-heavy rappers and artists with substance, but love the energy and twist that the new era of hip-hop brings. This is me colliding both worlds, not only paying homage to rappers who have paved the way for an artist like myself but incorporating styles in which I love. Do you happen to have a favorite part of the creative process that you encounter as you take full reign of your musical creations? For me my favorite part of the creative process is being in the flow state where I am not thinking nor trying to copy any sound, I simply get in a meditative state that I channel these creations through. A lot of the time when I’m in the studio working I feed off of the energy and vibe that is around me. Instagram

Simply Brick was formed in June 2020 with Ariel Bouchard on guitar, and Corrina Fisches on bass and vocals. Both met in the Montreal music scene, both having played with other bands before forming a project together. This band combines their mutual love of slow, dreamy sounds and a punchier Alternative Rock vibe. Working towards building their fully stacked music catalog, Simply Brick delves into a profound representation of ethereal sounds that fuel your inner being. Their most recent single, “It Goes to Yesterday,” combines their spirited mystique as they have you swimming in a pool of reverberated significance. Each echo that chimes through the speakers have you taking a deeper plunge in the atmospheric quintessence that Simply Brick forms. It’s truly hard to ignore any of the musical components as each has its own chance to shine throughout the record. The resonant bassline becomes the center of attention at 1:58, while the opulent guitar riff that illuminates luxury pipes up at 2:37, all the while the tight drum patterns keep our head bopping to the seamless concoction of elusive melodies in a higher dimension. As we focus our attention purely on the gentle mystery that resides in the vocals, we appreciate the full composition of “It Goes to Yesterday,” as it advances in a sea of inquisitiveness. Thoroughly scraping the hallways of ominous timbres, we’re all for the tenors that Simply Brick portrays in their music. Continuously keeping us on our toes, literally and figuratively, we’re thrilled to hear that they’ll be stacking up their repertoire with more original creations to come. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Simply Brick, and congratulations on the release of “It Goes to Yesterday.” In your own words, what does this song mean to you? This song is a very important step for the band since it is our first release. While working on it, Ariel and I learned how to work well with one another and to incorporate our different styles to form this mixture of dreamy shoegaze vibes and alternative rock, which Ariel has titled, “Dream Alt.” This song will always be the band's baby, helping to form a strong bond between the band members and hopefully a bond with our audience. In terms of thesis and emotions felt, what are you hoping that your audience can take away from this song? This song was written about the emotions involved with dealing with a bad relationship. We are hoping that this song can be cathartic for our audience. A place for them to turn to when they are dealing with negative emotions and hardships. It is an expression of pain and heartbreak that we are sure many people have gone through themselves. Music helps to heal the mind and soul and we hope that this song can do that for anyone in need of healing. From the moment you think of a song idea, to the moment it's released, what happens to be your favorite part of the process? The way Ariel and I write our songs usually begins with one of us having an idea on our own and coming to the other to turn that idea into a full-fledged tune. The best part is being able to take such a stripped-down idea and incorporating our different influences and writing styles to create something unique together. How important is it for you to be vulnerable in the music that you make? It is extremely important to be open and vulnerable when creating music. The beauty of music lies within being able to express such deep-felt emotions and translate them into a language that everyone can understand and relate to. What can we expect to hear next from you? We will be filming a music video for our single, “It Goes to Yesterday,” in April. We are also working on finishing another single titled, “Left, to Nowhere,” which will be released sometime in late spring. We are very excited to share more with our audience and to continue to write more together. Instagram Facebook

Sofia Stanley is only 17 and is already making great strides in the music industry. Born into a musical family, don't let her age fool you. Sofia Stanley has a strong, confident stage presence that grabs everyone's attention in the room, a unique voice, and amazing songwriting skills. She is also a student at Europe's most acclaimed music college BIMM Birmingham and has been played on radio stations such as BBC Radio, Black Country Radio, and Ocean FM in Ireland. With many years of songwriting and performing under her belt, Sofia Stanley has a promising future ahead of her. The most recent release from the bubbly emerging artist carries enough charisma to carry a generation. "Why?" is the passion forward bop that unexpectedly emerges from your speakers. How you find yourself grasping onto the edge of your seat as you take this song in is remarkable. The powerhouse vocals that Sofia Stanley fervently croons are like no other. The prevailing tenors you're exposed to have you falling under the deep spell that Sofia Stanley casts out. Carrying forth the melodic bliss in her euphonious harmonies, it's hard not to be engrossed in every note that Sofia Stanley hits. The entire song is arranged in a way that allows the luscious guitar riffs to embrace the divine timbres shed as each component in the production seamlessly works together for the grand finale that is, "Why?" The instrumentation being simplistic allows the listener to fixate upon the striking vocalization that Sofia Stanley belts out loud. "I can't believe this happened to me" is the lyrical motif that drives this song to victory as we continue to ask, why did this happen to you? However, that's how life goes sometimes, and Sofia Stanley is the queen at finding silver linings in any series of unfortunate events. Wise beyond her years, Sofia Stanley is an artist to look out for as she climbs the ladder of success. Congratulations on the release of “Why?” We love the entire structure of this track! What is the event that inspired the songwriting in this track? Thank you so much for having me! I wrote “Why?” back in October, based on many different events in my life, and just a variety of different scenarios that people will experience in life, in general. It’s a song that came to life when I had a pretty humiliating and awkward day at work, where I spilled red wine all over someone, and later that day I tripped over a step on the ground, fell flat on my face in front of a restaurant full of people! I remember the humiliation, the unwanted attention, the awkwardness. That day, when I got home, I said to myself “I never want to go back ever again, I just to hide my face for a trillion years”, which then sparked an idea, as I knew I needed to get this awful feeling out of my system… I wrote a song about it. And then, within the space of about 3 hours, “Why?” was born. The line which seems to be getting a lot of attention “Commit a photobomb, get someone's name very wrong, or call my teacher mum” has some truth to it, as I have accidentally photobombed pictures on many occasions, and I get peoples names wrong all the time! I have gotten people's names VERY wrong to the point where they sounded inappropriate! Although I’ve actually never called my teacher mum (thank goodness!), the closest I’ve ever experienced was calling my male teacher ‘miss’, which is still pretty embarrassing! However, my friend called our teacher mum before, and he was absolutely mortified, and I’ve heard of people calling their teachers mum before, so I decided to add it into the verse, so the song could have a sense of inclusivity and relatability, while also partially being based on my own personal experiences. Another line that sticks out to people on the track is a line in the chorus “If I had a dollar for every time I hollered something stupid, yeah I would be rich”, and let's just be real; I say stupid sh*t all the time! If it's not asking people unimportant or trivial questions at the wrong time, it’s telling jokes that people just don’t seem to understand! Could you please take us into what the recording process was like when fashioning this track? In terms of fashioning the track's overall sound and vibe, I had a few influences come to mind. The first instrument I recorded for the track was the guitar riff, which was inspired by Little Mix’s song “Not A Pop Song” from their album “Confetti”. So the chord structure was definitely inspired by that song, however I wanted the track to have a “quirky” element to it, so I added a slow-tempo, Imagine Dragons-esque kick drum. Also Julia Michaels's song “Anxiety” has inspired this track, both in its sound and raw lyrics. The track has underlying synth sounds such as a sub-bass and an electric piano, to give it a more Hip-hop/R&B-ish flavor, as that’s the style of music I usually write about, however, I’d say I’m pretty versatile as I love playing around with different genres and styles! How does it feel being 17 years old and writing about such mature topics? Do you feel any unspoken pressure on you for the content that you write about? I don’t really feel much pressure, I just write about what I feel in that particular moment and topics that I'm passionate about, that’s it. Especially in an era of music, where we have other young artists such as Billie Eilish writing songs with very deep, dark, and mature themes to them, music is becoming a lot more raw, unapologetic and carefree. I’m very lucky, having the ability and opportunities to do what I want to do when I do it and how I do it. I love to be able to write songs that people can resonate with, songs that can help people going through a tough time, and songs that people can just vibe to and dance around in their bedrooms to! It’s awesome, the response and reactions to my past songs, and now “Why?”, have been so great, I’m forever grateful for all of the support! How does “Why?” compare to other songs released in your music catalog? “Why?” is a song I wrote with the most “I don’t give a sh*t” attitude. Even though it’s definitely one of my favorites, musically and lyrically, from my discography, I didn’t really take myself too seriously with this track, as I wanted it to be a fun, relatable track, with a slight comedic element to it. I can confidently say that it was one of the most fun tracks to write! My other songs, “Angel" and “Respect", are definitely not as carefree as “Why?”, “Angel” being about losing a loved one, and “Respect” being about when you get bullied by someone, to stand your ground. “Why?” is about a feeling, it’s a fun, silly song, while “Angel” and “Respect” are more serious, aimed at certain people and particular situations. What would you like new fans and listeners to know about you and the music that you create? That life is about enjoying yourself, not taking things too seriously, and just living life. I have an upcoming EP called “Growing Pains” which is about learning and growing from mistakes, the pains of growing. Sometimes we don’t realize it, but growing and evolving as people can be hard, and can be painful, because we, as humans, don’t always adapt well to change. But if we’re in this together and support one another, we can conquer anything! This upcoming project is about that, and that’s basically my vibe as an artist too! I will be announcing the first single off this EP next, and I can’t wait for everyone to hear it! Instagram

From Toronto, Ontario, the four-piece garage-rock band Passport Radio sings the experience of drifting apart through their latest smooth sailing single, "Movin' On." Formed in 2016 and featuring the likes of Alex Fecioru, Devon Pelley, Aidyn Kiddie, and Aaron Weiss, each member in Passport Radio offers their own unique flavor to each track. Making waves in the industry through sold-out gigs and performing with international acts, Passport Radio is quite the quartet to keep an eye on. Now releasing their third single, "Movin' On" (recorded in Toronto's Banquet Sound Studio with 'Hollerado's' Nixon Boyd), Passport Radio delivers a rather calming and lush alternative sound while singing the sad message of moving forward from a love that lost its light. Offering listeners a serene soundscape fueled with genuine emotion; Passport Radio keeps us hooked with each soothing melody and heartfelt lyric. "Movin' On" begins its sonic venture through Alex Fecioru's warm vocal stylings and Passport Radio's supporting alternative instrumentals that float with sweet and savory melodies. As Fecioru continues singing of moving on and letting go of lost love, the song's overall feel and tenderness keep us fully engaged to keep listening. Devon Pelley offers sonic sweetness through his soft electric guitar alongside Aidyn Kiddie's rhythmic bassline and Aaron Weiss' delicate drum patterns. Throughout the song's entirety, Passport Radio never fails to evoke a specific emotion or memory through their conceptual lyricism, emotional delivery, and equally transcendent instrumentals. Don't miss out on Passport Radio's third released single, "Movin' On," and allow the four-piece to guide you into a healthy and forward-thinking state of mind. We highly appreciate such a positive and encouraging single like "Movin' On." What inspired your group to take on this sincere and emotional concept? "On the other side now, I realize how necessary it was for me to be in that relationship to seek help. It made me realize that people aren't all bad, or all good. Looking back, there were some wonderful times in that relationship. I didn't want it to be labeled just negative because it really wasn't." Back in 2018, our singer Alex left a toxic relationship that inspired him to quit smoking and drinking. He locked himself in his room for days to curb the cravings. "I was just sweating and craving a smoke but I wouldn't let myself leave my bed. I ended up getting really sick." After sitting with himself, he went to get help for his mental health and started going to therapy and taking medication for depression. "I honestly thought I was gonna feel that hopeless my whole life until I actually sought help, I was desperate to change." Who handled the songwriting for "Movin' On"? How did you want your audience to feel after taking a deeper listen to your lyricism? Alex wrote the lyrics and a body for the song. The rest of us added our own ideas to the demo he made. We sent it off to our producer and savior Nixon Boyd. He really liked the track so we headed to the studio as soon as the pandemic rules allowed. We want our audience to feel the freedom in changing yourself for the better when listening to "Movin on". That even though a time in your life has passed, it doesn't mean that what you're headed towards isn't gonna be a good life experience. Also that what comes doesn't invalidate the beauty in what just passed. Could you bring us into your band's instrumental creative process for "Movin' On"? How did you create your instrumentals to be so serene and lush while also complementing the song's emotional theme? When we went to visit our producer Nixon Boyd, our demo had the music but not the lush serene feeling. After we further discussed what we wanted, Nixon helped us shape "Movin On" while keeping the emotion and feeling behind it. Nixon's been incredible, great to work with, and a great listener. We spent lots of time on each sound, every note in the track is put there with care. In the studio, we messed around with a lot of Nixon's fancy expensive gear. There's a take of the solo where Devon rolled up the reverb on a fender deluxe while Alex played the solo. "I told him it was never gonna work, but it's the take that made the track, by the end I thought it was genius." Said Alex. How does your third released single, "Movin' On," stand out from the rest of your discography? Is this your group's first time around creating an emotional and heartfelt song like this? Movin On is our most positive song yet. It's our first single since we decided to write more hopeful music. When we wrote "Dirty Hands" about hookup culture or "Lighthouse" about a failing relationship we knew we were making heartfelt music, but it was more melancholic or sad than anything. There are just a lot more ways to make the music feel than melancholy and we want to explore that. What's next for you? We want to explore involving our community in our music more. We're trying to do live streams where people send in their best show outfits and we post about them or streams where the audience picks the songs live. We've also been getting involved in helping our currently unhoused neighbors here in Toronto. We're still in the early stages of figuring out ways to use our platform to raise money and awareness, but we're excited to help as best as we can. As far as the music goes, as soon as we can and the pandemic allows it we will be back in the studio with Nixon working on our next song. Website Instagram Facebook

Indianapolis rapper, singer, and producer Raisinbran lives by the motto grow with the flow. Fresh off the release of his second album titled, ‘E.A.R.T.H.,’ the body of work was written and produced independently by the unique talents of Raisinbran himself. Out of the 12 songs that can be found in the collection, listeners will find that each song connects humans and nature together in an exclusive manner. With every song being vastly different from the last in correlation, Raisinbran’s audience has a treat in store for them. In the flourishing resonance that emits calming tenors sitting uniquely in the mind, we have the second song featured on ‘E.A.R.T.H.’ “Life Is a Rainforest,” captures a warm embrace that is radiated in the conveyance that Raisinbran uses in order to invite his fan base into his vividly cultivated universe. The lyrical depth that trickles from his emcee-coated verses has us floating in a medley of abstract and direct wording that plays upon his talents as a wordsmith. In the musical arrangement freely flowing through our speakers, the raindrops heard represent the struggles that people go through in their life. Although uncomfortable, the struggles are essential for development; in the same way that the rain is vital for growth. The contrast of the melodic hues conveyed in “Life Is a Rainforest” dribble off of each production element allowing its presence to be known as the track advances. As Raisinbran continues to be forward with his messaging, we admire the graceful skills he embodies to portray vivid illustrations that interpret his carefully crafted words. Allowing listeners to feed on the concept that we can’t stress over what we can’t control, but we can control how we react to it, he places the faithfulness of his quintessence in God, providing all with shelter along the way. We love the message that you send out in, “Life Is A Rainforest.” What prompted the album concept of having each song connect both humans and nature together? Thank you! A couple of years back and some of my best friends drove from Indianapolis to the Pacific Ocean. We stopped in multiple states on the way and took time to enjoy each scenery. During this trip, the idea of making an album that connected humans to nature just came to me. Did you find that the creative process of “Life Is a Rainforest,” differed from the other songs that you placed on the album? Could you please elaborate? Life Is a Rainforest was actually the first song I made for the album. It was the first song I completely produced on my own so it’s very special to me. It definitely set the tone for how I made the rest of the album. What is the main messaging that you are hoping to send out to your fan base as an artist? The main message I want to send out to my fan base is that God is always with us and he is working in our lives in indescribable ways. How have you found growth forming in areas of your artistic career? I have grown so much since my last project! I took the time to learn how to produce and started taking my music more seriously. Most importantly I started getting serious about trying to make music that can help other people rather than myself. What's next for you? Album number 3 is next! After I take some time to relax of course. Instagram Facebook #BUZZMUSIC

Swedish Pop singer-songwriter JAYNIE can be heard taking musical influences from the sounds of the early 2000s to fashion her own playful sound. Although she still keeps a somewhat darker self-examining sub-meaning to the songs created, the melodies and lyrics portrayed showcase her vulnerability and stubbornness when handling situations in life like insecurities, young love and disappointment. If you’re looking for that over the top confidence bearing energy then JAYNIE is the alluring artist for you. Fresh off the release of her spirited, upbeat single, “Blame,” JAYNIE can be heard collaborating with the songwriting skillset of Simon Öbom in order to depict a larger-than-life sound encompassing her buoyant zealousness. The jaunty instrumentation immediately pulls you into a whirlwind of vibrant conveyance as we dare you to sit still while taking in the bursting sonic expedition of “Blame.” As JAYNIE uses her eccentric persona to have her listeners floating in a starry-eyed universe custom to her, the prevailing vocalization she disburses is both sultry and prevalent. “Blame” dances around the struggle of being too stubborn at times, especially when you’re with another person who tries to redefine the tenacious trait. Although the single dabbles in the in-depth meaning of strains on a relationship caused by stubbornness, the music itself has us immersed in a profuse ambiance of self-assured goodness. Maybe that’s just us tapping into our inner obduracy? JAYNIE brings it home as she delves into a resilient performance from the moment the song commences to the moment it finalizes. Foreshadowing the themes of her forthcoming six-track EP, ‘Defenses,’ we love the bright light that illuminates the talents of JAYNIE in a charismatic manner. Congratulations on the release of your upbeat anthem, “Blame.” We love the overall sound provided on this track! How did the inspiration come to you for your second single? Thank you! I was coming from a place of feeling like I wasn’t being honest with myself and I had written a lot for other artists for a while so I kind of forgot my own dream and vision. I knew that I needed to start over and really find the inspiration I had when I first fell in love with writing. When we had our first session for my own project it came to me very quickly and it just felt right. One of the things about my personality is how stubborn I am and for a reason that just became the vibe of the song. It was fun and playful and I could be open and not take myself so seriously, which was very liberating. How long did it take you to create and record “Blame”? What was it like working with Simon Öbom in order to capture the true sound of this song? I contacted Simon that I had worked with one time before so I knew he was very talented. I really love his unique production style and how he’s such a great person to be around. It was done pretty fast because he came up with the guitar melody and beat right away. Then I sang some melodies into the microphone and the lyrics for the pre-chorus are almost the same as the final result so that’s when I knew what the song would be about. We’re extremely excited to hear that you have a project in the works! What can you tell us about the themes touched on in your forthcoming EP, ’Defenses’? That makes me happy! Well, there will be a total of six songs on the EP that are all written by me and Simon Öbom so they really go together through a clear theme. I chose the name Defenses because they all represent the reaction of protecting yourself from getting hurt in different scenarios and the constant confusion that comes with it. It wasn’t really intense at first, but then it just fell into place for me. I think I’ve always been a guarded person and sometimes afraid to share my inner thoughts and fears with people, but if you listen to all the songs you will really get to know me. You’ve heard more fun and upbeat songs so far, but I will also be touching on some darker subjects like anxiety and the emotions you go through when you lose a loved one. How have you found yourself growing as an artist from your first release to this moment now? I’m constantly trying to grow and the most important part for me is to get my music heard and hopefully people will relate to what I’m singing about. Since I’m doing this independently, it does take a lot of time and planning into everything and so I’m really happy that I’ve received so much love from everyone and it makes it all worth it. What would you like new listeners to know about you and the music that you create? I’m not gonna try to sugarcoat my words when I write, I want to show both the good and bad sides of my personality because no one is perfect and that’s important to embrace yourself. I’ve spent so much time trying to hide who I am and I would compare every inch of what I was doing. But the truth is no one knows what they’re doing either and to me, that’s comforting like we’re all in the same boat trying to figure out this weird world we’re living in. Instagram
