It remains a way for her to express her feelings and flaunt her flirtatious and playful side with the creations she puts out into the world. She is a firm believer that being creative is one of the most joyous things you can do and to be able to put emotions, life experiences, and stories into music is a truly beautiful thing. With her latest single, “Talk to Me,” Ella emits a radiance and buoyancy so prevailing with her performance, that we can’t help but click replay. “Talk to Me,” begins with the essence of a wistful soundscape playing through the speakers. Ella’s sultry vocals remain an intoxicating centerpiece while combining with the up-tempo pulsing elements of the drums and sparkling high hats. Ella expresses her profound and zealous emotions about not wanting to fall for someone but their presence is so intoxicating that she can’t help it. Pairing the well-crafted lyrics, Ella gleams with a wide range of melodies matching the beautiful instrumentation at any given point in this record, it creates a striking blend of vocals that enthrall the audience and allow them to be transported into her empowering charisma. Ella confidently delivers a magnetic and powerful ambiance in her performance from the moment the song starts to the moment it’s completed. We're obsessed with the way Ella talks to us through this track and we can’t wait to be graced by more from this up and coming artist. Hello Ella, welcome to BuzzMusic, and congratulations on your release of, “Talk to Me.” We can’t help but gush over this record. What does this song mean to you and what do you want listeners to take away from it? Thank you so much! The reason I love this song so much is that it’s not your typical love song / break up song, it’s a lot more complicated and messy than that and it has a bad girl type of energy to it which I really like because I think everyone has two sides to themselves and it’s fun to write about that. I want listeners to just vibe with that energy of the song and embrace it! Could you please take us into the creative process in the studio when, “Talk to Me,” came to life? I had so much fun recording this song, I co-wrote with an amazing team (Haripriya Ngalete & my producer Boom Dice ). We were all singing and dancing around and just vibing to it and I just fell in love with it straight away. My producer had just got back from Mexico and had a load of Pesos and we were throwing them everywhere, it was hilarious. What was it like being added to the Unity Radio roster with, “Talk to Me?” It was so cool, really weird at the same time though! It was just so strange hearing it being spoken about on the radio and then when it was being played the DJ stopped it halfway through and did a rewind to listen to it twice in a row! I honestly couldn’t believe it, my mum and I were just so shocked we couldn’t stop laughing! What is your favorite lyric you penned from, "Talk to Me," and why? My favorite lyric from “Talk to Me” is “I’d be lying if I said that I could be your friend” because it has a change in rhythm and it's really flirty and almost like it’s being said by “the devil on my shoulder." What can we expect to see next from you? Hopefully lots of new music early next year! Obviously, lots of things have slowed down due to the pandemic and it’s just a lot harder to get into the studio at the moment but definitely early next year I’ll have lots of new stuff! I also think it would be so cool to collab with another artist, I’ve always wanted to do that! Instagram Twitter #BUZZMUSIC

Finding the essence of his purpose, Caleb Bowser continues to release novel music that speaks closely to his aspirations, and his latest release of "batman socks" only further adds to his overall collection. Caleb Bowser has released a single that displays his unique take on alternative music by introducing various eclectic vocal styles throughout the entirety of the track. Caleb Bowser is undoubtedly confident with his stylistic approach and appears to let himself go completely within "batman socks" by letting his inner creativity flow. You're most definitely in for a one-of-a-kind experience with "batman socks" and you'll be able to tell that Caleb Bowser naturally went with the flow on this one. His raw and unfiltered approach is what opens the door to his authenticity as a music artist, and you'll never question whether his music is fabricated. All in all, "batman socks" was an unforgettable experience that extended itself in many directions. Considering the unique quality of "batman socks", what kind of vision did you possess going into the writing and recording of this track? This song was pretty unique to make actually. I envisioned a sort of chill but a quirky song to come out when making “batman socks”. It started differently, as I made parts of the track, wrote the whole track, and then finished the song after writing it. I usually write songs and then make the production around them, so this was different, and I believe that is the reason it has a unique flair to it. It’s special because of the way it is made. What component of "batman socks" did you feel challenged you personally as a music artist? That’s a really good question. I think, personally, it challenged me to sound different. “batman socks” pushed me to a different part of myself I haven’t really talked about. It also challenged me sonically, because of the song’s trap/pop nature. It just made me pull from a new side of me I will definitely use it again because it’s so different. How would you describe the projected ambiance in "batman socks" and the way you intended your audience to feel after listening to the track? Honestly, it’s meant to be a chill song, that you can bop your head to. As I’m describing the situation, it’s supposed to be fun and weird, but in a cool way. Better described, it’s a vibe. Can listeners expect more tracks such as "batman socks" in the near future, or do you plan on switching up your sound anytime soon? As of the near future, don’t expect too many songs like “batman socks”. I am trying to broaden my range of styles, and “batman socks” is a new style for me. I’m planning on having multiple styles for my next project, which I’m super excited for. What's next from you Caleb? Next is my album! I’m so excited to release it! My friends that have heard the songs like it a lot, and kind of pressured me to make “batman socks” a single, but it worked out. But yeah, next is a full album of dark, catchy, unique songs I can’t wait to share. twitter.com/CalebBowser1 instagram.com/caleb_bowser4

  • SNJÜ Debuts With His Synth-Festooned, Electro-Pop Single "Jealousy"

    SNJÜ has rapt himself in music since the early years when his days were occupied with helping his parents launch their sporadic basement parties, which they were known for throwing. His career would blossom in the seasons to come, topping the Canadian world music charts with his sonic troop "Dehli 2 Dublin" and performing at mammoth festivals like Glastonbury and Burning Man, to name a few. This year, with his love for electronic, synth-wave, and pop, SNJÜ chronicles his past experiences underneath the guise of his solo project and works to envelop audiences in his expansive sonic-landscapes, decorating his electro-pop creations with the touchstones of the musical influences he grew up with. His debut single, "Jealousy," was produced under the careful eye of producer KULTARGOTBOUNCE, and with great attention to details, the musical power-house festering beneath SNJÜ's moniker comes to life; shining like a supernova and enveloping everything in his path. Opening with a powerful monsoon of incandescent synths that drip with nostalgia-inducing saturation, "Jealousy" feels like an audible amalgamation between the contemporary R&B dynamics of The Weeknd and the spaced-out sonic panoramas you'd find Roy Woods singing from within. Here, SNJÜ's soft-tethered voice croons over swelling reverbs that garnish his voice with width and depth, expanding into the gregarious atmospheres of a cosmic mix that churns like a space-ship on cruise control. When the 80s-hued drums beat down, "Jealousy" takes it's dynamic footing to the next level and works in tandem with the multifarious pads and synths to color the background voids, which SNJÜ sings over with his infatuating timbre. It's a song about the gravitational influence behind love and desire, and overtop a dialed-in mid-tempo march, the Vancouver-based intoner's top-line charms and delights with articulate, gripping lines: "be my supernova, working over me, sun-bright, one night, that's it, fantasy." The entire playback renders up like a space odyssey that navigates over a star-dusted interstate: littered with kinetic melodies, rich sub-frequencies, and an abundance of mystifying reverberations to drive the mystifying sonic-vessel home. By the time you reach the apex lines of "Jealousy" ("I just wanna put you through college, I just wanna go the mileage, all night, real slow, you and me,") it's nearly impossible to not feel committed to the retro-futuristic ride SNJÜ is taking audiences on with his electro-pop music. What was the inspiration behind the narrative you infused into "Jealousy" and how did the electronic stimulation behind the abundance of synths you used help facilitate your storyline? First just need to give credit to my producer on this track, KULTARGOTBOUNCE, he is a big-hearted, super warm, wizard genius dude and he’s really the one that was able to make this vibe come to life. The funny thing is he added the synth in last, but it really captured what this song needed and made it come to life after the tone was laid down. I mean the inspiration came from a night pre COVID at a venue that specializes in fantasy escapes and the transactional arts (laughs). And that synth just exudes sexiness. He just understood the energy of what I was putting down and made it fly, he sonically made it feel like you are being seduced like you’re the only thing in the world in the eyes of the sexiest thing you’ve ever encountered. What sorts of emotions were you channeling into for the performance you've captured on "Jealousy," and are those emotions commonplace in your artistic process? I was trying to capture that feeling of leaving this earth, that feeling that anything is possible when you’ve been seen by the one you are feeling on - even if it’s a fantasy. I find sexual tension so interesting. I say it all the time but it’s an energy that moves the world. It can make people move mountains, and at the same time, it can destroy homes, careers, families, and really entire lives. It is such a powerful thing to play with but if harnessed, amazingly beautiful. This is definitely a theme in a lot of the tracks that I’ve written for this project. I think these emotions have always been here, but now I’m able to express them in the way I want with this solo project. Have there been any crucial learning experiences during the production of "Jealousy"? Yeah for sure, be patient and I gotta trust that everything will work out for me. The song was started pre COVID and I just wanted to finish it so bad. I was frustrated that I couldn’t get into the studio during the lockdown to track the final vocals and I was trying to get Bounce to send me the instrumental so I could track it at home but he was super busy finishing off other tracks for like a million different artists so he never really got around to it and I’m so glad ‘cause finishing it with him together was always the right way and was always just the way it was supposed to be. Do you feel like those are lessons you'll take with you on your next musical endeavor? 100 percent. The more I’m able to let go and trust that it’s all working out for me in the perfect way and at the perfect time the more than that is actually happening. So, I’m really trusting the flow and continuing to just follow the joy and the rest will take care of itself. I’m taken care of, I always have been. If you could give your listeners a few words that would act as a prologue to the experience behind "Jealousy" and the rest of your upcoming music as SNJÜ, what would you say, and why? It’s a sexy vibe. I want people to literally roll one up and get lost in sexual energy. It’s so powerful and such a high. My music is here to help make that happen, I want it to be the soundtrack to backseat adventures and champagne room exploits everywhere. Not really sure why besides that I love that shit, it’s kinda what just flowed through me when I started this project, it just felt right. It felt like me, so why fight the flow? What has been keeping you inspired in 2020 and what can we expect to see next from you? Straight up I’m just having fun, when you’re in that kinda zone one doesn't need to keep inspired, you’re just in it. The flow just keeps you floating, it invigorates the soul and I’m just buzzing. And thank God for that because 2020’s been one hell of a strange year, shit’s gotta break down so we can build this thing up better than ever and that’s inspiring too. Not to discount the ugliness of a lot of what’s going on right now but really just taking a step back and observing that change is coming - if I can stay in that state of mind, I am able to see the beauty in all this. Also, I’m super blessed in that while being forced to stay home, I am able to use this time and space to be creative. I’ve got a lot of music lined up. Singles on singles ready to go, so stay tuned, I’m in full effect right now and so stoked about it. facebook.com/snjugalaxy instagram.com/snjugalaxy

  • Experience Heistheartist's Beautiful Cover of Fleetwood Mac's Hit, "Landslide"

    Hailing from Central Islip, the Christian Singer/Songwriter Heistheartist releases a beautiful and mesmerizing rendition of Fleetwood Mac's legendary hit, "Landslide." Regarding his forthcoming EP 'Roots,' Heistheartist mentioned that "Landslide" acts as the leading single merely due to the song's influence on the project, stating that "Landslide" is the root of 'Roots.' We're completely mesmerized by the modern interpretation that Heistheartist took upon Fleetwood Mac's classic single. Through the delicate vocal arrangement, equally soothing acoustic-electric guitar melodies, and spirited performance, the single offers all the love and warmth we need as the days slowly begin to darken and cool. "Landslide" opens with Heistheartist's beautiful acoustic-electric guitar humming away with the song's heartfelt and tender melodies. Within seconds, we can feel the genuine and authentic approach that Heistheartist infused into this cover through his warm vocals and captivating performance. What we love most about this cover is Heistheartist's unique vocal layering that adds a hint of modernity into the classic foot-tapper. His effortless melisma and vibrato is truly something to experience, as he continues to sing with passion and does the original song justice. The entire outro of the song touches down with Heistheartist's soft delivery, allowing listeners to lay back and listen with ease. Heistheartist's cover of "Landslide" offers listeners sonic bliss through his delicate instrumentation, passionate vocal portrayal, and the song's overall emotion that has stood the test of time. Listen to "Landslide" here. We love the approach you've taken with your cover of Fleetwood Mac's hit, "Landslide." What initially inspired you to cover the song? Well, I was searching to do something of a different genre than my usual Smooth Jazz and I came across Miley Cyrus covering the song at a concert on YouTube. The song is about growth and was perfect message-wise in introducing my newly expanded genre repertoire. Within "Landslide," we noticed that you added unique vocal layering that stands out from the original version. Why did you choose to add this sonic element to the song? The original version was so well done that I added vocal layering to accent the parts and lyrics that warmed my heart the most. Regarding your vocal layering within "Landslide," could you take us through the song's production process and how you crafted the vocal layering to offer this sensation of bliss? I’m old fashioned and I have sung each layer individually. Authenticity is extremely important for me as an artist. Seeing as "Landslide" is the root of your upcoming EP 'Roots,' how does the cover emphasize the EP's overall concept? Why is the cover the heart of the project? The EP is about growth and my cover of “Landslide” carries that lesson the greatest of all the songs on the EP. However, the other songs on the EP are important well and serve supportive roles. What has been your biggest inspiration this year while creating new music? Definitely nature. Nature warms my heart and soothes myself and puts me in such a good place. With all the negativity going on in the world, nature put me in a great place to continue to create new music. instagram.com/SignedLoveTheArtist

  • “Audi Music,” Lets Us Dive into the Depths of Zini’s Creative Mind

    Songwriter, Beatmaker and Emcee, Charles Lawrence, better known as Zini, delivers an impactful single, “Audi Music,” sharing his real-life experiences and letting us into his universe. This Hip-hop artist reigning from North Carolina picked up a notepad and pen when he was only 18 years old and he hasn’t put it down since. His early musical influences have shaped the way he continues to master his craft and his countless dedication has taken him into multiple avenues of the music industry. “Audi Music,” opens with the full sound of a warming saxophone and sparse keys touching down all while Zini introduces the song in a spoken word overview. Zini begins delivering a boom-bap Hip-hop vibe that allows his vocals to remain on top of the music but blend softly into the powerful bassline and instrumentation. His ability to transport verses is quite striking, especially with the memorable instrumentation creating a New York City atmosphere that pulls you in. There is a buildup throughout the record that matches the essence of the real-life content Zini addresses, paired with the strong-willed lyrics and wordplay. What strikes our ears is the deep early 2000’s nostalgia that rumbles through the mind with mellow components that have you bouncing to not only the rhythm but the seamlessly timed rhyme schemes and lyricism. “Audi Music,” shows us that there doesn’t always have to be a catchy chorus for a song to resonate long after it has ended. Zini has made us fans through his well-crafted lyrics and high energy performances, time and time again. Congratulations on the release of “Audi Music.” How important is it for you to write about real-life experiences? Much appreciated, thank you for the time and opportunity! I think it’s very important, I like to say that music is life and life is music. I put my life into my music, and on the other end, someone could relate to parts of my life through music. What is your favorite place to allow your creative mind to explore? I don’t have a favorite place at this moment. Most of the time I’ll be in the second bedroom speakers on, instrumental on repeat, my notes open on my phone, and vice of my choosing. When I’m at work, I got the beat on repeat in my headphones and I type lines/phrases and find pockets. When I get the next opportunity I start to write out the actual bars. Could you please tell us, what was the studio session like for “Audi Music?" I’m sure like a lot of upcoming artists, I recorded this in my home studio. It took me a while to get the vocals where I needed them. I recorded this song A LOT! Also spent countless hours of mixing. Where would be your ideal place to perform your music? Honestly, my ideal place to perform is inside a venue with people that support me. Of course, everyone wants the big stages, but give me a venue with people that support me and we can have a good time there. What has been your biggest source of inspiration while creating new music, this year? This year has definitely been a tough one, but my main inspiration has been my mother. To keep watching her having to fight through a multitude of things, I want to make it easy for her. She deserves so much and I’m trying to get it for her! #BUZZMUSIC

  • Emuell Tedford Empowers Women Across the Board With His Music Video, "Incredible Girl"

    Hailing from Detroit, the Composer, Music Director, and Pianist Emuell Tedford releases a heartwarming music video for his recent single, "Incredible Girl." Mixing Jazz, Pop, and R&B into his soulful sound, Emuell Tedford has been getting to know his way around a piano since the age of 5. Since then, his groovy and uplifting music has made waves and continues to garner the attention of listeners everywhere. With his recent music video for his single "Incredible Girl," we're able to watch Emuell Tedford bask in the glory of his woman and thank her for all she does. From scenes of his lady taking care of her children to shots of Tedford leaving a florist with a beautiful bouquet, the video brings a heightened sense of appreciation for women everywhere. The music video for "Incredible Girl" begins with Emuell Tedford storming his way into a book room, surrounded by nostalgic decor where he drops a book and picks up the phone to call his "Incredible Girl," and let her know the one word he uses to describe her. As the video continues with scenes of his lady making lunch for her children and sending them off to school, Emuell Tedford brings a passionate performance on the piano and adds rich flavor to the video. Not to mention additional scenes of powerful and knowledgeable females working hard for their careers, we're highly appreciative of a music video like "Incredible Girl," where Emuell Tedford plays a needed feminist role that encourages women everywhere to embrace their natural power. We can't take our eyes off your romantic and heartwarming music video for "Incredible Girl." Could you tell us how you began to develop the video's concept? It was during the pandemic that I was inspired to create the Incredible Girl Video. We all faced new normals with the pandemic, particularly women- many of whom still had to maintain professional and family life, but also had increased roles - homeschooling teacher, home nurse and so many other responsibilities to ensure we make it through this once in a lifetime virus. As we continued to shoot the video, I decided to expand the idea to women in all professions, particularly first responders and essential workers, because their contribution has been incredible. We've heard that you were the executive producer behind the video for "Incredible Girl," while James Romeo handled direction and editing. Were you given any direction during the shoot to enhance the concept, or did you jump into shooting with an idea of how you would act and perform? A Detroit playwright helped me develop a foundation for my initial ideas. During the creative process, so many visions of "Incredible Girl" kept coming to mind. So it was important to include that imagery in the project. Michigan is known as a Great Lake State, so a nod to the incredible beauty is seen in several of the waterfront scenes. (Including the mansion where Kendrick Lamar shot his first video). I wanted to be hands-on, so I sat with my creative friends, including my videographer and editor, and developed a flow for the final product. Within your music video for "Incredible Girl," you capture scenes of female judges, officers, and scientists hard at work. Why did you add these scenes to go beyond the appreciation of your significant other and acknowledge women everywhere? I have the Best Incredible Girl in the World and she knows it! (I tell her daily!) But I wanted to include every day, working women in this project because the weight of a pandemic is heavier on them, due to societal pressures like racism, misogyny, and other factors. Women need to be appreciated for their countless and "incredible" contributions to everyday life. We can't help but feel this nostalgic 90s flair through your music video for "Incredible Girl." Would you say that your heart lies with this type of approach? Was this nostalgic approach intentional? Michael Jackson is one of my favorite artists, especially his medium and slow tempo material. Jazz artist Bobby Lyle is another favorite, and I credit his style for a lot of my piano inspiration. You'll also hear a bit of Roger Troutman talk box style, made popular in the 80s, and this is the end result. What's next for you? I look to have another single out before the holidays. I am releasing a full Hop-Hop/Jazz CD within the next few months. It will be Full of explosive Jazz compositions. The CD is entitled, Keynotes of Emuell. facebook.com/EmuellTedfordMusic #BUZZMUSIC

  • Fresh Lady Releases “Sorry Sasha,” a Song For Your Ex's New Flame

    Fresh Lady releases her latest track, “Sorry Sasha,” a song that takes you down memory lane, looking back on an old flame.

Wrapped up in the revivalist production of Nashville-based duo Handmade, this audacious lament from Fresh Lady is fun for the whole crew.

We love the tone that you have set on “Sorry Sasha.” What is the meaning behind this track that you created? Who is Sasha? Thank you so much! Sasha is the character who dates your ex after you. The song showcases a perspective shift. Looking back on what I went through in a relationship, through the prism of watching someone new going through the same crap. When I was learning what I wanted from a partner, and how to draw my own boundaries there was a lot of trial and error. My girls tried to tell me COUNTLESS times but I couldn’t hear it when I was so emotionally invested. But every mistake in love is a lesson on what you can and should put up with.  As hard as it was to watch, Sasha needed to learn that for herself as well. We’ve all been Sasha in one way or another, the trick is taking those mistakes and learning from them.  With a song that drips in such confidence, was there a specific moment or experience that shaped your inspiration for “Sorry Sasha”? Getting played! Ha! When I got two-timed there were a lot of questions that popped up involuntarily. Why her and not me? Where did I go wrong?! Seeing someone else go through the same situation with the same guy helped me realize it wasn’t my fault. The only thing I did wrong was trust this person, and the freeing thing about mistakes is you only need to make them once… Or two times at the absolute most.  What is your favorite memory from the making of “Sorry Sasha”? My favorite memory is shooting promo footage with my new boyfriend. He got to play the shady ex, which was hilarious. My dog made a cameo as well. It was very affirming to think about how all the trash I endured being with a zero led me to where I am today. I hope somewhere “Sasha” is happy too! What lyric in the song do you want to resonate with listeners the most? "He ain’t no good man/ he just knows how to please ya / don’t let him fool you again/ how many times will he leave ya" What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? Seeing the ways people have innovated around the boundaries of quarantine. In particular, the shoot that Rihanna did with Gray Sorrenti for Bazaar where she’s wearing the end racism shirt while taking the trash out. Without this weird crazy situation, we’re all in that legendary photo that may have never existed. Making an everyday task look so effortlessly stylish is truly inspiring. freshladymusic.com
