  • Thea May Collaborates with Rapper Troy Junker in Uplifting, Emotion Filled Single

    Ojibway, singer-songwriter Thea May collaborates with Metis-rapper Troy Junker in uplifting, emotion-filled hit “Runaway.” Filled with vulnerable lyrics that many men and women will find relatable, “Runaway” sings of reuniting with a loved one and being so in awe of someone that you drop everything to rekindle your flame. The uplifting and bouncing pop production creates the scape of a daydream while flowing lyrics and instrumentals together. Junker mentioned in interviews that the vulnerable lyrics are filled with his flair and emotion, drawn from personal experiences. This intimate creative process allowed these two Canadian artists to bond in a way that created their desirous and heartfelt single. “Runaway” was a truly memorable musical process, and filming the music video from their respective locations (due to the pandemic) heightened their individual, versatile stylings to enhance the warm vocal tones. We can’t wait to listen to the many more collaborations between these two highly talented artists in the future. Read more with Thea May and Troy Junker here.

    Creative entrepreneur Perkypurp began her artistic journey as a self-taught painter. It wasn’t until she went off to college that she decided to branch out into songwriting.

As she encourages those to tap into the creative realm, she believes in expressing yourself wholeheartedly. In the innovative Lo-fi sounds that create the ultimate dreamscape of Perkypurp’s latest hit, “Find a Way,” she re-introduces us to a swift demesne of prevailing goodness.

Feelings of fortified victory emit a glistening essence that Perkypurp carries forth with her. She delivers what you need on a silver platter and when you need it. The genre of Jazz Hop is reached as she swerves into a unique lane custom to her artistic talents and versatility. We’ll have to run this track back to digest the full concept of her authentic offerings. Perkypurp does exactly what she sets out to do with her music. Sending her melodic creations out as a vessel for others to absorb, it appears that there are no signs of stopping from this emerging artist. As she continues to make a name for herself, we’re anticipating the bright future ahead of this Jazz Hop artist named Perkypurp. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Perkypurp. What was the creative and recording process like when bringing, “Find a Way,” to life? When I wrote find away I remember I was sitting at a studio in Texas watching my friends record their songs and I thought to myself, “ I definitely did not come prepared with a song”. So what I did was I sat down put my AirPods in for about 30 minutes and I just started writing in my notes to a lakey inspired beat. I remember thinking to myself I have to find a way to get this done, I have to find a way to get out the Hood, I have to find a way to be better than I was yesterday, I just have to find a way. From the thought process, the song finds away came to life with added melodies and ad Libs it became what it is today. Now that was just when I wrote to find a way, when I recorded find away I recorded it at void studios in Harlem, and I remember just doing one take on that song. When I left the booth my legs were shaking and I was nearly on the floor I was so excited. I felt as if something took over me in a good way. And I knew that that was going to be a hit. What are you hoping that your listeners take away from your messaging in, “Find a Way?" When my listeners listen to “find a way I want them to be inspired to be better than they were yesterday. I want my listeners to be able to reflect and find a way to become better. I want my listeners to be inspired to find a way through many obstacles despite what can come in between their goals. I know we have many things that are interrupting us on a daily to reach our full potential but this is when you put on “find a way” on your speakers and remember you gotta find a way. As one to dabble in various lanes of art, what happens to be your favorite part of the creative process? Oh man, my favorite part of the creative process is the logistical side. Making sure I have my materials prepped, and making sure that I have everything I need to begin my journey. I consider my creative process to be a journey because it takes me to places that I’ve never been to before. One of the places that it’s taken me is to my imagination. My own world. Where I can kind of disappear and reappear as I please. No one to tell me I’m not invited or I don’t belong. Just a place where I can be myself. What is the proudest moment in your musical career thus far? The proudest moment of my musical career thus far is releasing two songs on Apple Music back to back that I wrote myself. I have never released music before on streaming platforms only on SoundCloud however this is my first time going through a distribution company and learning about the business aspect of the music industry. I think it’s very important to learn about this part of music because it’s something that in the future you will definitely need to know a lot of especially if your music hits charts! What can we expect to see next? What you can expect to see next is a lot of art-making, more music, and a lot more features. I want to be able to collaborate with different artists and tap into different genres of music. The music that I make coming from New York is very different because it is jazz and hip-hop combined. I wish to incorporate more of this music into mainstream media so that will be my goal. Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

  • LIBERATI Radiates Pure Passion Through His Latest Single, "Figure It Out"

    The Grammy-nominated bassist, multi-instrumentalist, artist, and producer LIBERATI releases his first single of the year with "Figure It Out." Launching a new solo project during the start of the pandemic, LIBERATI takes his extensive industry knowledge and experience to create a project that claims to know no genre boundaries. Working on a concept album for over three years and finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, LIBERATI mentioned that each song is as dear to him as a child, raised enough to set free into the world. The latest 'child' off of his forthcoming untitled album holds its name as "Figure It Out," a nostalgia-evoking single that serenades us with warm instrumental melodies and a passionate storyline. LIBERATI offers an incredibly endearing and soothing vocal performance, especially with help from this single's naturally uplifting tone and feel. "Figure It Out" brightly opens with lush electric guitar melodies that drop into a mid-tempo and easy-listening beat. We feel as though we're floating into bliss with each calming element of this piece through the soothing synths and crisp drum patterns. Listening to LIBERATI's lyricism, he sings a touching story through a 'nice guy' lens, wishing to turn a childhood friendship into a forever love. Slowing it down at the bridge, LIBERATI takes on more of a soulful and patient approach while singing empowering lyrics like, "You're gonna, you're gonna figure it out." Reaching the end of the song with the entire powerful and passionate instrumental/production soundscape, LIBERATI has us feel nothing but regenerated and refreshed. Find LIBERATI's recent single, "Figure It Out," on all streaming platforms, and get ready for his three-years-in-the-making album set to release in summer 2021. We're floating into harmony with help from your uplifting single, "Figure It Out." What inspired you to take on this heartfelt and nostalgia-evoking single? I was inspired to sit down and write one particular night, but not like I would for typical songwriting purposes. Instead, I felt the urge to let go of any structure or lyric, and rather create something that felt like a soundtrack to my own movie. That’s when the bulk of all of the music was created. I walked away happy to have this dreamy, nostalgic, 80s-themed love scene scored, but I was never sure I would turn it into anything more than that. I hung out with a few producer friends months later and we were showing each other song ideas. They really resonated with the original music bed, then titled “You Tease." What was your songwriting process like for "Figure It Out"? Does your lyricism flow with ease when writing about such passionate themes? I never really follow the same process for writing any one tune (maybe I should start haha). I try to flex the writing and recording muscles enough to capture ideas consistently and quickly whenever inspiration hits. My songs typically stem from either a 45-sec loop I’ve made one night at 4a, a near indecipherable voice note during a run, or some random line in apple Notes below my grocery list (yes, I’m a lister). If I recall correctly, about 95% of the lyrics were completed in one night, but it was a verrrrry long night, so I wouldn’t say they exactly "flowed with ease." How does living in Malibu inspire the music that you create? I think it’s fairly universally agreeable that Malibu has a certain magic to it. I’m so grateful I get to experience that magic. Being perfectly nestled just outside my favorite city and playground (L.A.), but still offering solitude in the mountains or on the ocean, Malibu is the first place that made me wonder like I did when I was a young kid growing up in rural Ohio. I’ve always felt recharged and centered when in nature, and the ability to tap into that magic fuels my creativity exponentially. Feeling that wonder like a kid inspires me to create music that is heavily influenced by the music I grew up with. What made you want to release "Figure It Out" as a single before your forthcoming album? I’ve been teasing the album slowly over the last year, single by single, and I felt it was time to release something a little meatier in terms of lyrical content than some of the more pop-centric singles I released previously. I wanted to show a bit more range of what the upcoming album has to offer. Seeing as your upcoming album is said to know no genre boundaries and was three years in the making, what should we anticipate from such a thought-out project like this? The most authentic expression of myself I’ve ever created. The 3+yrs I spent creating this album are one of the most formative chapters of my life. I truly lived and breathed and cried and fell asleep at my desk in the studio writing, producing, recording, performing, editing, iterating, mixing, and mastering every one of these songs during heartbreak, elation, betrayal, loss, gratitude, and a multitude of other emotions and experiences over that timeframe. I sat with myself enough during 2020 to heal in ways I didn’t know I needed. All of that growth sparked the wonder I mentioned earlier and allowed me to explore new soundscapes and take musical “risks” I may not have 4 years ago. Instagram Facebook Twitter Website #BUZZMUSIC

  • J-Minu$ Takes It, "Day by Day"

    Hailing from Corpus Christi, Texas, J-Minu$ is a true hustler in every sense of the word. With an early attachment to music at a young age, J-Minu$ began recording and writing music at 16. Priding himself on his hard work and dedication towards his craft, J-Minu$ has been recording music out of his family’s food truck while juggling a full-time job and various side hustles since 2016. J-Minu$ brings a unique cinematic sound to the industry with his approach to Bedroom Pop and Hyperpop. He takes on musical influences from the Punk Wave of the ’80s along with modern superstars such as Juice World, All American Rejects, and Michael Jackson, to name a few. Commencing his most recent single, “Day by Day,” with an upbeat rhythmic swing of mind-blowing energy, J-Minu$ delivers an enthusiastic approach that oozes with a bubblegum bassline to accompany his invigorating vocal structure. Pushing the envelope of cross-sectioning conventional musical creations, the sounds that J-Minu$ offer up to listeners carry underground elements of thought-provoking talent. His artistic versatility allows him to remain loveable to numerous fans, as he remains unified with his charismatic integrity. Exhilarating tones of playfulness shine brightly through the lyrical motifs that J-Minu$ presents as he reinforces his mesmerizing hook with complete pride. How he incorporates components from the new wave of Hip-hop that is taking over leaves us starry-eyed and wanting to take in everything that is J-Minu$. He encapsulates alluring fusion with the smooth vocalization that he takes on to perform his carefully crafted lyrics. There is no denying that the melodic bliss he brings forth with themes of heartbreak takes an up-tempo seat in the musical ship that he steers. This type of unapologetic swagger isn’t easy to embody, but J-Minu$ does it rather well. Pulling listeners in with a pep in his step, we see no signs of slowing down for this artist on the up and up. Congratulations on your release of, “Day by Day.” Taking such a somber theme and turning it into an energy-fueled bop is something that we can get behind! What encouraged your musical approach to the creation of, “Day by Day?" I think I have to fully credit one of my producer Michael Warren who I work closely with for bringing the energetic approach to this one. When I recorded day by day, it was after dealing with some really personal troubles in my life. At the same time, I had some great news come to me regarding my music so although I had a lot to get off my chest, I couldn’t help but look forward to what tomorrow had to bring. I think it really just captures how powerful it can be receiving some good news after a shit day or shit week. Is there a particular moment or story that shaped the lyrical content that you release in this single? Yeah I mean, a lot of reflection went into the lyrics on this one; specifically how some things naturally distance themselves when in pursuit of dreams. To reference back to how I was feeling when making this song it was totally reflective of my feelings at that moment. I looked at the future of what was to come with my music career and it made me think about what was hurting me at that time, and how I could move past it. In the last two years, you’ve released over 70 tracks on streaming platforms. That is no easy feat for any artist. What’s your secret to consistency? I think what keeps me so motivated to create new music for my audience, is knowing that there’s someone listening, and that’s always been the motivation. I really want my music to be something that resonates with people and I’ve made a tough decision to be more curated with what I release now and provide my absolute best work, starting with this new song ‘day by day’ With your music career taking off in a major way, what has been your proudest moment to date? By far my team, the people around me push me to be better and work harder, and honestly if there is anything I could brag about it's about having such a talented group of people around me to push me to grow every single day. What would you like new listeners to know about you and your music? I just hope that you listen to my music and it makes you want to talk about it with your friends and is something you’re impressed by. I make music for people to enjoy, I don’t really care about breaking the charts or being number one, but I just want you to feel what I’m feeling with each song I put out, and I hope this new single “day by day” is just what you’re looking for with regards to that. instagram.com/therealjminus facebook.com/therealjminus

  • The Wonderlands Drop a Thrilling Pop Anthem Entitled, "Danced Herself to Death"

    Diving into the stimulating and enthralling atmospheres of alt-pop for their latest single, "Danced Herself to Death," the 5-piece collective The Wonderlands gives us all the grooves to dance the night away. Headed by Miles Jena and Adam Steele, the two artists met as teenagers in church and later joined forces with friends Jill Gavigan, Derek Johnson, and Patrick Oakes to form their collective, The Wonderlands. Fusing music inspired by genres from jazz to alt-rock, The Wonderlands welcome us into their sound with open arms. Highlighting their latest hit, "Danced Herself to Death," this single leads the way as the fan-favorite from their recent 9-track album, "The Digital Life." We're easily able to tell why this single has accumulated vast success and recognition, as The Wonderlands power through with groovy bass licks, vibrant pop production, and lead vocalist Miles Jena's exciting performance. "Danced Herself to Death" sharply opens with a thumping kick alongside a hefty bassline that sets the song's exciting and exhilarating atmosphere. As Miles Jena begins singing of the prime being in her natural nightlife habitat and dancing herself six feet under, he inevitably gives us all the desire and enthusiasm to get back into the nightlife scene. The accompanying instrumentation offers bright and organic elements through the warm acoustic guitar and groovy bassline. Simultaneously, the surrounding production pushes incredibly modern and precise arrangements that fuse the track with a darker tone. All while Miles Jena drives the song to the outro with his dynamic and energy-fueled performance, The Wonderlands have genuinely taken us back to better times with this anthemic release. Find The Wonderlands' recent hit "Danced Herself to Death" on their latest album "The Digital Life," and stream the rest of their exciting discography on all streaming platforms. We can't get enough of the energy and excitement within your latest hit, "Danced Herself to Death." What inspired your group to take on such an exhilarating piece like this? This was an idea that Miles had a few months before we went in to record this. We knew it had to drive and carry a lot of energy to get the point across, but we did not know we were going to get there. Then, Jill, our keyboardist, actually came up with that driving bassline while we were in the studio and we knew we had a solid song on our hands. Who handled the songwriting for your single "Danced Herself to Death"? How did you want your audience to feel from the song's lyricism? Miles, our lead singer, wrote this song. It was never too much about evoking a specific feeling rather than telling the story of that girl at the party. We wanted the audience to experience her descent into complete loss of consciousness and sense of herself. It serves as a warning of the dangers of forgetting who you really are at heart. Could you take us through the typical creative process for your group and how you formulated the sonics for your single "Danced Herself to Death"? The typical creative process is Miles will bring in the structure or "bones" of the song, and then the band will fill in the gaps. Miles usually brings a general idea of chord changes and lyrics, then the other band members take it upon themselves to write specific parts. Derek, our drummer, is especially good at arranging songs so they make sense with the instruments we have at our disposal. Could you tell us more about your album "The Digital Life"? What sort of concepts or approaches did you touch on within this project? This Digital Life is an exploration of the human experience in the digital age. We all know something is not right, but it feels like no one can put their finger on it. The lyrics attempt to outline what it feels like to go every day feeling slightly controlled or "at the will of" a device, media, and general digital consciousness. Miles, our lead singer, has often struggled to feel a true human connection in this new era. Those songs explore that side of existence. What can we expect next? We will be putting out our second full-length album this summer. We just released the first single from said album, called "The Push". We also just dropped the music video for that song which you can find HERE. Also, the second single from this album entitled "Friends" will be out in late March with a music video as well. In between all of these things we release podcast episodes and BTS content all the time! All you have to do is follow us on Instagram or Tik Tok to find it @thewonderlandsband.

  • Nathan Ballard Serenades Broken Hearts With a Vulnerable Single, "Nickel Short of a Dime"

    The Los-Angeles-based pop artist and singer-songwriter Nathan Ballard releases a love letter to himself with the inspirational single and music video, "Nickel Short of a Dime." Always merging film and music elements, Nathan Ballard would often incorporate these elements into his high school classes whenever he could. Creating projects through song and lyric videos helped Ballard become used to expressing his emotions and growing comfortable with vulnerability. Recently releasing his empowering single and accompanying music video, "Nickel Short of a Dime," Nathan Ballard mentioned that the song pays tribute to those who feel as though they're always coming up short while reminding them of their worth. With help from modern electro-pop sonics and production, the single takes listeners on a soaring journey through self-love. Diving into "Nickel Short of a Dime," the track opens with an uplifting sonic atmosphere through gleaming electro-pop production and various synth melodies accompanied by a punchy bassline. Once Nathan Ballard begins powerfully singing of losing out on love and finding his independence once over, we being moving into the lush chorus. Offering more of a relaxed approach on the hook, Nathan Ballard sings with incredible poise while touching on rather emotional themes to linger in listeners' minds. While the sonics continue their upbeat and shimmering stylings throughout the song's entirety, Nathan Ballard takes the track to the outro with vast confidence and power. Find Nathan Ballard's relatable single, "Nickel Short of a Dime," on all digital streaming platforms, and continue the experience through the song's accompanying music video. We truly admire the genuine emotion and relatable themes you've touched on within your recent single, "Nickel Short of a Dime." Was there a particular moment that inspired you to take on this love letter to yourself? There was, I wrote this song originally way back in 2017 because I had a relationship that was ended that really affected me. I felt like I lost my purpose and I was left not knowing who I was. Simply put, I was heartbroken and lost. Flash forward a few years later, there was another relationship that ended as well and that was the one really made me realize there was some growing up I had to do. It’s interesting learning as you get older that you could be the reason why relationships aren’t working out because it never feels like it's you at the moment. There was growth that I still needed, insecurities from my past still showing up in the present, and that was the relationship that hit home with that realization. But there's nothing wrong with that, we're all in this journey of life “trying” and as long as I try to do good, have my intentions come from a pure heart and place, treat others how I want to be treated, I can trust this journey of life and know that it has my back too. How did you write your lyricism for "Nickel Short of a Dime" so that various audiences and listeners could take something away? I always have a problem feeling like I am never enough. When I was in high school I was anorexic and suffered from bulimia as well because I never felt like I had the body or image that was perfect. Flash forward when I got out of that it then flipped to not being in shape enough, then to my music not sounding good enough, then to my friends not being cool, relatable, or funny enough. Then to girls that me as a whole just simply isn’t enough. This song was about writing that to let it go and know that me, just as is enough and we are all capable and worthy of love if we can be vulnerable and trusting of that. I thought the title Nickel Short Of A Dime captured that perfectly. Did you create the uplifting electro-pop production for "Nickel Short of a Dime"? Do you often release music similar to the energetic electronic feel of "Nickel Short of a Dime"? Yes, and I also worked alongside EJ Jones who is an engineer who I respect and trust so much. He pushes me further the I can push myself and I am extremely grateful to have met such a kind, genuine person who cares so deeply about the craft.I try to create a different feel to each song I write, at some point I think it will be really fun to do a super-fast punk rock song but then also switch gears to a super slow pretty piano acoustic guitar song:) How did you take the emotions from the single "Nickel Short of a Dime" and transmute them into visuals for the song's music video? I worked with a graphic artist and sketched out some rough ideas of what I wanted and he brought them to life and we went back and forth on where to place the visuals to have it tie into the lyric video :) What is the main message you strive to deliver as an artist? Be yourself, you’re enough, you have a purpose, you can do anything your heart desires, you are loved, and you are deserving of this beautiful gift called life. <3 Instagram #BUZZMUSIC

  • Brook Carries a Rich Artistic Style and Connection to God in Her Newest Single, “Steady As You"

    As an Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and worship leader, Brook feels her personal relationship and connection with God in each hope-filled track she releases. Her artistic style exhibits a rich and moody sound that relates directly to her life. After finding herself without her grandmother, her job, and her marriage after a particularly hard year, Brook was brought with the reminder that no matter the immense chaos within her life she wouldn’t be able to do it alone and will always feel the support of god inviting her in close. “Steady as you” showcases light vocals that are filled with an emotional and personally connecting vocal vibrato. As the piano chords expand in the background, listeners will feel a growing motivation and meaningful connection to another they can rely upon, whether that be God or another individual. “Steady as you” is autumn that accompanies the growing process associated with moving forward from hard times. Brook explains how this single was a vital part of her grieving process where she was able to feel the support of god and his consistency of care that brought many emotional lyrics upon her. Brook is an artist filled with soul and heartfelt emotion and we can not wait to see her continue to grow as a result of this track! You mentioned the difficult situations you encountered that lead you to produce this single, how do you think having a personal influence impacted the musicality within this track? Hello! So honored to join you guys, thank you for having me. Yeah, this was the hardest year of my life. Obviously for a lot of the world too. My husband filed for divorce less than two years into our marriage & later on in the year, My grandmother, who was my second mom, passed away. I think for a large part of 2020 I was grieving. I wanted this song to have a mourning aspect to it-to reflect what I lost. This is why I incorporated the strings and slowed down the tempo. But I wanted it to also embody the hope and vigor I found from fully living out of faith and leaning into the unknown which I tried to communicate through the beat of the chorus and the build of the bridge. The piano was the only instrument that felt right leading the way on this song, but the strings really became the star for me. They can rejoice and mourn beautifully. Your vocals are truly mesmerizing and filled with emotion, what is your musical background and history? Thank you! Most of my vocal training comes from professional theatre and leading worship for years. I’ve been singing since before I could talk and be in and out of lessons for years, but I really feel like only recently have I found the style and sound that best fits my voice. Do you have any specific artists or vocal groups that you draw influence from when creating your tracks? Yes, so many. I looooove Falcon, carobae, Maggie Rogers, Maverick City music, DOE, Johnnyswim, Steffany Gretzinger, H.E.R. the list goes on and on and on. I love raw and vulnerable lyrics, a moody musical tone, and a rich full sound that can cut across several genres. What are your next steps to grow from “Steady as You”? The next step is to release another single this spring and to keep building my IG page @_themorelife where I began this journey of sharing candidly what I’ve been learning through these difficult circumstances and in my counseling master’s program. Ideally, I want to build my listening audience outside of the Christian sphere as well and become more of a crossover artist. What can we expect to see next from you? Music for me is a way to heal and process. Right now, I’m writing like crazy and so excited to get back into the studio. I’ll be sharing some unreleased music I wrote a while back on my YouTube channel (brook music) soon as well as lyrics I’m workshopping over on my Instagram. I love the collaborative and contributive process of music, so I’m always ready to share glimpses even if they’re unpolished. Instagram Apple Music Spotify
