Alifchief is a progressor at his core. This Brunei Musical prophet suits an Afro-tinged jacket over viscerally charging electric guitars with Alt-rock implicative jam sections that borrows inspiration from a clandestine psychedelic-rock ancestry. He gathers together the impressionistic touchstones of late '60s psychedelia—reminiscent of Early Carlos Santana—and immerses us into a sonic jungle that harbors the sacred fruits of this songwriter's musical labor in the form of "Boda Boda," his latest blood-pumping single. Through the gallops of a soca beat that sounds garage-like in texture, "Boda Boda" grabs control of your primal urges to dance and sway, the way a blood-lust would. Over a mid-tempo, toppling musicianship displays radiate fervently between a scintillating bassline, rousing saturated guitar, and Alifchief's vocals that permeate through the mix with sonic cohesiveness; rendering up a prismatic echo that sounds like the vocals are being processed through vintage analog gear. It's an effect that gives the entire production it's nostalgia-inducing warmth. The lyrics are simple enough and don't do much except stimulate our immersion when we can't help but chant, "Boda Boda!" There's no lack of showmanship and jam-session inspired solos, and as we get acquainted with the groove, style, and aesthetics that his band authors, another door opens up. It is leading us into a show-stopping bass aria. As each section transitions over a hooking riff that seduces, it's easy to recall Santana's performance of "Soul Sacrifice" from Woodstock 1969, where the band flourished from one instrument to the next, repeating their hooking riff before each new sonic explosion. The whole song plays like a conga-line of new and developing musical silhouettes before all the shades come together and create a crescendo of fiery acoustics that leave an after-glow we can't shake off. Hello Alifchief and welcome back to BuzzMusic. Where did the inspiration for "Boda Boda" come from both geographically and stylistically, and what does Boda actually mean? Boda Boda (referring to the word 'border') are bicycle and motorcycle taxis commonly found throughout East Africa; they were originally used to commute between borders, hence the word 'Boda'. Here in Uganda, they are a common form of public transport ideally used to navigate around terrible traffic jams or if you need to get somewhere quick. I used them regularly during my time in Tanzania and also here in Uganda; the experience of being on one can either be exhilarating or scary, depending on the driver! And so, this is the experience that I wanted to convey in the song. Stylistically, the song itself was inspired by Tony Allen, whose drumming style I admire very much. Who has been your two most significant influence when it comes to your style of playing the guitar, and why? This is a tough question to answer as I have many favorites on my list with no preference! As for now, these two come into mind: Vieux Farka Touré and Eric Clapton. Eric Clapton has always been a major guitar influence, particularly during my early twenties when I dove deep into his discography with Cream, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and Derek and The Dominos. Albums like Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs and Disraeli Gears were particularly influential for me. It was his phrasing and tone in those earlier works which informed my playing and to this day, it is still the case. I got into Vieux Farka Touré through the music of his late father, Ali Farka Touré, the undisputed master of desert blues. Although I appreciate the playing style of Ali, I strongly identified with Vieux's style which is a more modern and refined approach towards the genre while respecting and honoring what had been started by his father. What have been the most fulfilling moments in your career thus far, and can you attest any of those moments to this song's recording process? So far, it has been to sign a digital distribution deal with East African Records: it was done on the same day I arrived in Africa four years ago. To be approached by people who are genuinely interested in your vision and wanting to carry it forward made me felt that all the time and effort put into my craft was worth it. What would you say to someone who is just starting to find their creative intuitions in the form of creating Music, to inspire them to keep progressing despite the struggles the come with finding your own artistic voice? I would say to just keep going at it even on your worst days; you'll never find your own artistic voice if you don't keep practicing your craft consistently. Also, don't be afraid to show your influences. What can we expect to see next? I would like to collaborate more with regional and international artists, and play live shows and festivals within East Africa and beyond when the COVID-19 pandemic eases down. instagram.com/alifchief facebook.com/alifchief #BUZZMUSIC

Riding the wave of the viral success of his last hit, "Remedy,"—that's already garnished the L.A. based Artist with 3.5 million streams—Cody Randall releases his latest addition to his atmospheric electronic catalog titled, "Lost World." It's a mystifying experience centered around when Randall was still studying in the U.K. and his struggle with being grudgingly ejected from the place he felt was his home for the last three years of his education. On "Lost World," Randall practices balance as he amalgamates components from impressively cohesive soundscapes. His whispering tonal riff suggests prime Alternative-Pop, while his captivating modulated electronic production delivers a measure similar to the bounce on The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights." There's an 80's inspired hue to the beat found here, and two-thirds of the way through, Randall buzzes over the bustling vibe of his production's all-encompassing eruption in the hook, where the drums ramp up their enthusiasm, and our songster whirs over the saturated and infatuating reverbs that comes assigned to his voice—soaring as it flies over the expanses of this mix. “If I don’t feel you by my side, I’ll walk blind without you”, he enchants, half-whispering and drenched in echoey tails as his hook elevates over upswell of synth pads that secure over each other with a weaving dynamic—again—as Randall continues his incantation. "Lost World" sounds both like a fantasia of mystifying electronic twinkles playing in a room designed to make the L.A. songster's voice permeate deep within our cores. It's an experience that renders calmly and atmospheric, developing over its own colorful and uplifting vibes, and breezing past in no time: establishing the power this song has over all our senses when time simply fades away during "Lost World's" playback. What was your initial reaction like when your song "Remedy" exploded onto the TikTok universe and eventually landed itself in your audience's playlists worldwide? Well it started happening right before I went to sleep and I remember thinking, “oh maybe this is that thing when you go to sleep and you wake up to it went viral.” and that’s pretty much what happened. Mainly I was really surprised, I didn't expect anyone to care about that song, to be honest. I immediately called my manager friend Cooper Herrera and told him about what happened and then the excitement of it all kicked in. Did you feel any pressure with the release of this track and it's anticipation amongst your fans due to your initial viral stardom eruption? I didn’t really feel a lot of pressure for “When Do U Feel Alive” because it’s one of my favorite tracks I’ve released. I also tend to set expectations low otherwise I’d probably be discouraged after every release. I just always hope for the best really for every release, I know that if I make sure I honestly love the music I put out, some group of people is going to like it. Can you explain some of the sentiments you wanted to highlight in "Lost World," and how it brings you back to studying and living in the United Kingdom? I tried to stay there after already living there for 4 years, but unfortunately, it just didn’t work out. It felt like such an elongated and stressful process hence “Woke up, left with the keys to the road that never ends”. I kind of personified the whole song though, because it’s a relationship in its own odd way and I relate it to my past relationships too, there are some things in common with them all. Who would you say you draw most of your creative inspirations from, and how have those influences helped develop your own musical style and aesthetic over the years? I really love Brockhampton and Kevin Abstract at the moment mainly because of their lyrics and how honest they can get. I’m also listening to Trevor Daniel, The Neighbourhood, and Mac Miller a lot. Mac’s new album was my favorite one by far which is heartbreaking since that he’s not here with us making music anymore. As far as developing my own sound, It just took time and consciously leaning into myself in all aspects not just music. The more I do that the deeper I lean into my own lane. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? Well since Remedy blew up I’ve been hustling really hard just off of that and all these new fans I get to talk with and learn about, but also I just love writing songs when it comes down to it, I haven’t been that inspired this year by much else but I don’t really need that to write songs because I’ve always done it for myself anyway. instagram.com/iamcodyrandall twitter.com/iamcodyrandall #BUZZMUSIC

You have told us that you like to incorporate aspects of pop, indie, and R&B into your music. Could you describe how you are inspired by each of these genres in your songs? Thank you for having me here! It’s a pleasure getting to talk to you. And yes! Pop has been my favorite musical genre because it’s so diverse and yet very accessible to everyone. It’s quite easy-listening so I incorporate that feel-good and the easy-listening vibes into my music. R&B is a style that I like to listen to, including a little bit of pop/jazz. I watched lots of R&B singers like Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, so I might have learned some vocal techniques they used. And Indie to me just simply means independent. I’m an independent artist so I can literally write about anything, not having to care about the commercial or the mainstream sound but luckily I have some people who like what I write :) Could you tell us what the lyrics of “Another Life” represent? What was your inspiration during your songwriting process for this song? I actually got the idea from the series on Netflix called ‘The Order’. A series about a secret magical society in a college. I was so invested in the main characters, Jack and Alyssa, and felt that their romance rose beyond the conflict of the series itself. But long story short, Jack woke up one day forgetting about Alyssa and the time they spent together and it’s almost as if he started living in another life. Hence, the song title. And that was the spark. I started imagining what I would do if I were Jack, using some moments in my past relationship to narrate the story as well. You are influenced by artists like Ed Sheehan, LANY, and Lauv. Can you tell us how these artists inspire you and your music style? Definitely. I’ve spent my time listening to these artists a lot since I was younger. You looked up to Ed and be like ‘one day, I’ll be like him’. That was my dream when I saw his live performance a couple of years back. But I’ve got a weird way of listening to music. I listen to it for the sake of enjoyment and education and I can’t mix them up. I can’t be like ‘I’m dancing to this but hmm I wonder what plugin he/she is using there’. I often look for production techniques that I could use, with my own twist, to improve my sound. You often collaborate with other artists, giving each of your songs unique flavors. Can you tell us about some of your collaborations? Yes! I was fortunate to have two great artists featured in my EP “29 to 3”, one of them being The Voice winner from Lithuania. I have learned a lot from each of them and they have definitely brought in a new musical perception into my creation. Although sometimes you find yourself in an argument it’s definitely worth it at the end. I have also co-written songs with other artists from the UK and they haven’t been put out yet so keep an eye out on my page for that! What can fans anticipate next from you? First of all, I wanna thank every single one of them for watching and streaming all of my songs! I’m very happy to achieve all these things so big thanks to my team, fans, family, and friends who have supported me since day 1. It makes me realize that a part of the artist I am today comes from my hard work and dedication but the big part of FrenchW comes from my supporters. It means the world to me knowing that the songs I make mean something to someone. But this is just the beginning. I’ve got more songs lined up till the beginning of 2021. They will definitely see my personal growth in my music and the lyrics I put in. A more defined piece of music going into the direction that will define my artistry. Like I always say, my music is a mirror of myself. It represents what I saw, what I believe, and the feeling that comes with it. It sucks that COVID-19 took away some of the gigs we planned for 2020 but as soon as this pandemic soars, I promise I will be back on the road doing what I love the most again! instagram.com/french.sw facebook.com/FrenchW4 #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from Saginaw, Michigan, JR Amore is a budding rapper, singer, and songwriter who has just released a music video for his single “Foolish Love.” Specializing in rap and singing, JR Amore doesn’t allow himself to be boxed in by one specific genre. He likes to draw aspects from multiple genres including hip-hop, R&B, and rock. His recent release “Foolish Love” feels like a mixture of hip-hop and R&B due to its relaxed vibes and hip-hop beats. The first minute of both the song and the music video builds anticipation. With more of a faded soundscape and echoing vocals, and lacking any beat, it feels as though JR Amore is steadily working up to a higher energy level. The video reflects this feeling with blurry and shorter-lasting clips. Once fans are on the edge of their seats, the 808 trap beat kicks in and cranks “Foolish Love” up a whole notch. Once again, the music video mirrors the energy change as JR Amore is seen with a bottle of Patron and a background of vibrantly colored clouds. It seems that both the visual and audio effects are more vivid from that point forward. As more of a chill rap and R&B style song, “Foolish Love” has a melody that you can sing along to, while still maintaining the integrity of a hip-hop song. JR Amore can hit all the high notes with his vocals but switches dynamically between high and lower-pitched verses. For fans looking to experience the alluring audio and visual effect of “Foolish Love,” we highly recommend giving this video a watch. Hello JR Amore and thanks for sharing with BuzzMusic what you've been up to. What was the production process like for your "Foolish Love" video? How did you come up with the location and subject? The whole video for “Foolish Love” was shot in LA which is like my second home. Some shots were in front of a green screen while the others were shot throughout different locations in LA that included the Hollywood walk of fame, in front of Capitol Records, and a few others. Now when it came to dealing with having ideas on where to shoot the video, my bro Swigga Geovanni who was also the director of the video helped me come up with some ideas while we were walking to get food while I was visiting. I knew I wanted the video to show how I’m doing better in life after a past relationship that I had gotten out of and just capture what life is like now and include some future goals I have, which includes to sign a record deal one day & be the best artist/ entertainer I can be. That’s how shooting scenes by Capitol Records came about. After we got all the ideas together his good friend and now my bro, Demarcus Lamont. We all got together the next morning and just made it happen! Can you tell us a bit about the lyrics of “Foolish Love?” The lyrics in this song really just reflect a bit on my past relationship & how I was blind to a lot of things that I should have known in the first place. A lot of people say dang you must really hate that girl, but my song really isn’t intended to target her or anything. I just wanted my lyrics to convey how I felt in reality and now how I’ve moved on and she has as well & now I’m living my life to the fullest. Most of my lyrics when I write, I want to paint an image in the listener's head about my life. If they can relate then that’s great too, but in all reality, my lyrics are a reflection of either what I’ve been through, how I feel, or where I want to be in life. Are there any artists that inspire you? How do they influence your music style? There is a lot of artists that inspire me & it’s not just from one genre of music. This list includes the late Juice Wrld, Khalid, Christ Brown, James Brown, even Blake Shelton. The list could go on and on, but most of these artists share one thing on common. They weren’t or aren’t afraid to be the real them. And the way they portray it in there music just motivates me from a lyrical standpoint to how you covey the lyrics. The different styles of music each artist does, allow me to get a better look at how to be a better artist, but still myself. What is your songwriting process? Is there anything that inspires you to write your music? You might laugh, but my songwriting process starts with me locking myself in my bathroom. Besides it being the quietest place in my house, it’s the place where I’ve written most of my songs & the view in my backyard is nice and it kind of inspires me to write sometimes. Anyways after I lock myself in my bathroom, I either look through beats that producers have sent me or through type beats. If I can’t hear the lyrics in my head when I hear the beat, I won’t waste time on it. That’s just forcing something that isn’t there. Once I do find the right beat it’s over and the lyrics just naturally flow after that. And as far as motivation for my song, like I said it’s either a snapshot of my life at the moment, how I’m feeling, or what I want to happen. What has been keeping you inspired in 2020? I’m not gone lie with COVID & all the stuff going on in the media, things have been kind of rough in 2020 including the passing of my granddad who was like a father to me basically. With all that though I can still say 2020 is ok because aye, I’m still here and I’m still alive. A lot of people lost multiple loved ones this year rather it be to gun violence where I’m from to COVID around the world period. I’m moving farther and farther with my music in the right direction so that’s a positive. The real motivation for me though is just knowing where I could be if I grind to what I want the right way and that’s to be at the top of the music industry and entertainment business. I’m not at the top yet so there’s a long term goal in front of me that I want to and I’m going to accomplish, but until then I have work to get it accomplished. That’s what keeps me motivated and inspired in 2020. instagram.com/jr_amore twitter.com/jr_amore1 #BUZZMUSIC

Everything changes when you realize that we, as individuals, are the quintessential curators in our own life's experiences. This is the ethos that Elyse Aeryn—the former Chemical Engineer turned Alternative-Folk chanteuse—adopted when she was first decided to achieve mastery in the guitar at an early age; and all on her own accord. Now, with a distinctive Folk and Indie-Pop reflecting character, and a new creative chapter at the foot, the Canadian intoner releases her first self-produced single titled: "Salt." Here, Elyse Aeryn conjures up a hyaloid landscape that echoes the incandescent textures found within the Nova Scotian's prismatic incantations. The Contemporary production swoons over the buoyant amalgamation of softly carbonated Top-line harmonies, a percurrent array of echoing claps, and the synergistic delight of an acoustic guitar that dissolves into cordial piano fingerings. There's a scintillating electric guitar that evaporates into existence throughout the playthrough. As we transition from an ambient verse and into a smooth gliding chorus festooned with time-less "Ooohs" and "Aaaah," Aeryn stretches out her inventive wings with a tempo breakdown midway through. Here, she halves the tempo with a subtly progressive cascading effect—like when a feather floats back down to the earth with calming grace—that sanctifies the entire enchanting experience with an ethereal after-glow. It's undeniable that when Elyse Aeryn follows her creative intuitions, there is no stopping her, and with "Salt," she establishes that when we put our minds to it, we can accomplish anything. Hello Elyse, welcome to BuzzMusic. Can you explain Salt's narrative and some of the critical sentiments you were trying to highlight through this song's textures and aesthetic? Salt is your end of summer heartbreak anthem. Energetic in its hard-hitting drums, yet steady in the bass line, it builds you up then lets you fall... just like a fiery summer love. With the vocal essence of a 90s Natalie Merchant and the fresh alt-pop vibe of Maggie Rogers, Salt reminds you of the spark that lit you up and left you burning. But all of the greatest loves are over now, aren't they? What's been the most significant learning experience behind producing this single solely on your own? I quickly learned the importance of reference tracks. It was amazing how something could sound satisfying without a reference point, yet dull and lifeless next to a professionally mastered track. Dropping a reference right into my project and comparing both the high and low end back throughout them mix helps me get closer to my goal at a faster pace. How do you go about curating your production's emotional journeys through the channeling of your main musical influences, and do you ever find it challenging to manifest those inspirations in your own individualistic way? I write and arrange everything on an acoustic guitar before I even consider the studio and I’m guided by my influences from the beginning - that maybe the way I choose my lyrics, the rhythm or groove I’m strumming with, or the vocal nuances of the phrasing. My individuality comes through pretty naturally when writing, but it can certainly be challenging to express that acoustic composition in my individual way come studio time, especially when I’m the one behind the “mixing board”. If I find myself leaning too hard on a reference track for inspiration, I’ll totally change the beat or the phrasing to find a unique delivery. I’m often drawing on elements of two or three totally different songs will helps me mix up something fresh. What are some milestone goals you've set out for yourself this year, and can you tell us about some of the steps you plan on—or have already taken—in achieving those goals? I set a goal of releasing a 5-track self-produced EP in the fall of this year. I started in April, giving myself a month to learn the basics, then a month per song, but I got a new job and joined a band this summer and it set me back about a month. Now I am telling all my friends and family that they might not see me for a couple of months because I have two songs left and I need to crack down lol! I get up early on weekends, I limit my socializing, and I set my goals monthly, weekly, and daily to stay on track. It’s all about time management. We have lots of time…but how do we use it? What has been keeping you inspired this year? I read a lot, especially when I’m doubting myself. The past couple of years I read a lot of books on spiritual growth. If I’m feeling like “maybe I’m not meant for this” I pick up some Wayne Dyer or Louise Hay and I’m reminded that I’m meant for whatever my heart desired. I also love artists’ autobiographies. I get really inspired to know that most of our greats weren’t just “discovered" - they worked hard, they believed in themselves when no one else did, and they did it for the art. instagram.com/elyseaeryn elyseaeryn.com #BUZZMUSIC
