"Tell Me How You Really Feel" ignites an infinite passion within minutes, and reminds us to hold our loved ones tight during these unnerving times. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Dani W + Drew! We're delighted to feature your captivating debut single "Tell Me How You Really Feel." Could you share what your inspiration was for the song? “Tell Me How You Really Feel” (TMHYRF) was inspired by the cinematic feel of movie soundtracks like Batman and Interstellar, as well as the deep jazz roots and R&B vibes of albums like Miles Davis’s “Kind of Blue” and TLC’s “Crazy, Sexy, Cool”. The song explores the story of two strangers who finally stop to spark up a heart-to-heart conversation, which blooms into a genuine relationship beyond what they could have ever imagined. Hidden in the song is an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of what’s right in front of us. TMHYRF reveals that happiness and love live in everyday honest conversations. Speaking on the music video for "Tell Me How You Really Feel," Dani W + Drew serve a simple yet incredibly romantic music video. Why did you choose to keep the video so natural with portrait shots and atmospheric lighting? Thank you! We chose to focus on the pure human connection to match the mood and message of the song. It felt natural to keep the visuals clean and to let the interaction be the focus of the video. Onset, the process was very organic when working with Mary Bee and David Air of Bee In the Air Productions. They are both professional artists and easily understood the sentiment of the song. Being great Directors, they were able to draw out both the simplicity and depth of romantic chemistry by using portrait shots with a splash of ambient coloring as the video progressed. The instrumentals within Dani W + Drew's single "Tell Me How You Really Feel" are deeply soothing and gentle. Do the two of you plan to stick with this sweet and mellow jazz sound in the future? We have a broad range of musical interests, including Caribou, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Tobe Nwigwe, Gladys Knight, and Erykah Badu. We are definitely excited to bring you some more jazz-inspired originals like TMHYRF. However, we also love feeling limitless in the creative process. Down the road, our musical journey will include fresh elements of an old soul, folk, and hip hop. We've heard that Dani W + Drew often partner with organizations to motivate and empower communities through your performances. Could you tell us more about these performances and how you go about inspiring communities? Music has the power to bring people together for a shared purpose. We often have the pleasure of performing at community events and galas for great organizations such as the Foothill Unity Center, which currently provides vital support services for 4,000 families in need, as well as providing homeless services. We also performed at the SoCal Women’s Conference’s annual event, which focuses on education, health awareness, and empowering both women and men to take charge of their well being--to look and feel good! The SCWC organization reaches out to 1,000s of local residents in the San Gabriel Valley. It’s an honor to perform our uplifting original music for special engagements. Partnering with organizations and universities across the country allows us to help further their missions and to make a positive social impact. Earlier this year, we performed with our full band at the Orange County Black History Month Parade and Cultural Faire to celebrate within our local communities. We look forward to continuing these existing types of partnerships and inviting more collaborations that aim to empower and inspire others to make a positive impact. What's next? We are working with Lyell Evans Roeder to record our first D+D EP.  Lyell is a truly gifted composer who has produced for artists such as Leo James Conroy, Ciggy, and Bones UK.  He has shared the stage with acts ranging from Questlove to SHAED, Tash Sultana, Gallant, and Misterwives. We are excited to stay connected and share this new project! The best way to keep in touch for behind-the-scene updates and new releases is through our newsletter on the Dani W + Drew website. If you have Spotify, Instagram, or Facebook, let's stay linked at DaniWDrewMusic for more memorable musical experiences! instagram.com/daniwdrewmusic daniellewcarter.com #BUZZMUSIC

The music video for the single perfectly encases the love and passion that buzzes between them, and Melody ensures that there's an authentic and personable feel to the visuals. "Pull Up" first unravels itself with an attractive soundscape, setting the foundation of the song to feel elegant and glossy. Melody Marshai inserts her vocals, and once doing so, her charisma instantly shines through. Melody Marshai maintains soft-spoken vocals throughout the entirety of the track, which makes the song feel that much more seductive, and with naturally warm and laidback energy, Melody Marshai is able to set an appealing ambiance for listeners. All in all, "Pull Up" was a graceful release by Melody Marshai and we're buzzing to see what this artist will release next. Hello Melody, it's wonderful to have your with us and a big congratulations on your latest release, "Pull Up"! Can you describe the emotions that went into releasing this single, especially right after your 10-year hiatus? I’m very excited about it! It feels good to have a new song out after so long. I love how the song turned out. I felt nervous about the video at first; I wasn’t sure if we were going to be able to shoot it because of the pandemic currently going on. Fortunately, everything went smoothly. We were able to keep everyone safe, so it all worked out. "Pull Up" features a storyline attributed to your husband. Are you able to delve deeper into the lyrics presented in the song, and how you hoped listeners would feel whilst listening to "Pull Up"? To be honest, while I was writing the song I visualized the video, which helped with the writing process. I always seem to visualize the setting and what’s actually taking place in the song. The visual is so important. The first two bars of the song is, “You’re the only thing I want to see at the break of dawn and the last thing I’m leaning on.” Pretty much describes exactly how I feel about my husband. His presence always makes me feel happy and safe. I can truly be myself when I’m with him, which is why he’s always the first person I want to see in the morning and last at night. My husband and I spend a lot of time in Malibu so I imagined us driving down PCH on a sunny, Summer day just in our own world, cruising down the coast without a care in the world. I love taking long drives, especially on the coast with the ocean view. I feel like the song will provide a sense of relaxation and happiness for my listeners. It doesn’t matter where you are, the song allows you to use your imagination and be wherever you want to be. It’s like an escape. The listener should picture him or herself with that special someone in their life and the feeling they get when they’re around that person. Considering the personal and honest details shared within "Pull Up", did you find it was natural to craft your own experience into the song? I found this song to be really natural because it’s about real life. I always want my listeners to feel connected with me musically. I want them to feel like they know me personally through my music. My music is how I truly express myself. What would you say is one piece of advice you'd give to someone undergoing similar circumstances and taking on a hiatus from music? I feel like taking a long hiatus is ok. Don’t feel bad about it because it’s ok. Sometimes it’s good to take a break to reevaluate yourself, learn some things, go through some things, and truly know who you are. That way, when you come back, you come back stronger than ever. You can release the best music when you have something to write about or sing about. Don’t ever think your time is up or it’s too late in life to pursue a career in music. You can release music at any age. It’s your confidence about yourself that other people will gravitate to, so keep your confidence up and believe in yourself. What can fans expect to hear or see next from you? Thank you for talking with us today! The video is out now, and the song is available for streaming and purchasing everywhere! My musical brain is really working right now, so I have more songs in the works. I think it’s safe to say that there won’t be another hiatus at least for a little while lol. instagram.com/worldofmelody #BUZZMUSIC

In the short period that Southern Cali songstress Damoni has been active, she has established an extraordinary self-awareness of character and inflection in her artistic persona. In this example, it's supported when she sings with a saturated high-end register on her first single, "I'm Free (Watch Me Go)"—an uplifting anthem made with the full weight of a production lathered with dreamy vocal overlays and character. Here, Damoni rallies over her carry in the chorus "watch me, watch me go!" she revs, as she finds growth through her experiences, as the melody slowly morphs from a vibey R&B classic to a more vibrant electronic-pop. Opening up through a mistifying intro and enhanced by a warm acoustic, "I'm Free (Watch Me Go)," instantly authenticates the enchanting presence behind Damoni's performance. The instrumentals gradually build forward, retrospective over her admissions of the past: "I just needed the time to grow, all I wanted is to be free, you do you, and I'll do me," she sings, buzzing. Her emotions find profound resolve in her delivery—she glides within velvety registers and a with sumptuous drift, and over a straight-edge soprano, yet she manages to sound wholly centered and remains trendy in her pursuance to become the next phenomenon in contemporary music. Hello Damoni, thank you for joining us at BuzzMusic. When did music and the idea of making it your pursued career establish itself in your life? Honestly, I didn’t start off wanting to be “famous” or a pop star or R&B singer. I have always loved singing and when I got the opportunity when I was younger to sing in front of a crowd, well I tried it. And I loved seeing people’s reactions, being surprised and happy. It wasn’t until I moved to CA to pursue acting that I started to get contacted and noticed by music professionals after performing at local venues and posting covers on YouTube. Can you speak more about the key takeaways you wanted to express through this track as a whole? I guess I just wanted to express and encourage people to follow their dreams and trust that mistakes will happen. You just need to pick yourself up and keep trying. Do you think you have experienced any new growth as an artist through your efforts to get this single out? I mean yeah ALOT. This single was created about 3 years ago when I connected with Dante Santiago and Ghettro. So at that time both of us have grown and changed. What can we expect to see from you as you continue to build on your musical catalog? Are you centering around releasing an Extend Play sometime soon, or just shooting off singles when the time is right? I will be releasing several more singles in 2020. Really looking forward to sharing them with everyone. My EP is anticipated to release at the end of 2020 or early 2021. What has been keeping you creatively inspired this year? Well now that my single is released and I’m getting good feedback from it, it’s making me really anxious and motivated to put some more music out there to show more of what type of artist I am. instagram.com/damonibk #BUZZMUSIC

Drawing influence from artists such as The Beach Boys, The Beatles, and the Poozies, Lunarosa has built herself a reputation for creating beautiful sounding vocal harmonies. Picking up the ukulele and taking it on several surf trips was the true catalyst to her songwriting journey. Her most recent release, “Take You with Me”, showcases Lunarosa’s talents and positive energy in a way that keeps you intrigued and waiting for her next move in the industry. “Take You with Me” is introduced with a prologue. We hear footsteps wandering through tall grass and immediately we are taken somewhere far away from our own reality. A ukulele is the first harmonic instrument to meet our ears. Lunarosa’s vocals come in with graceful reverbs and an atmosphere unmatched by other artists. She sings the lyrics “I’m always pushing against the rolling tides” and we can’t help but relate the story to our own experiences. Stringed instruments and a silky piano texture build the song's momentum until we are overwhelmed with emotion. By the end of the song, you’ll be ready to hit the repeat button. We know you’ll love Lunarosa’s new song, “Take You with Me” just as much as we do. Hello Lunarosa! We felt “Take You With Me” was a great representation of the positive energy you give off as a musician and an artist. Can you tell us what inspired you to write this song specifically? How did you decide the direction you wanted to take it in terms of production? Oh thank you, that’s really sweet! Well, without going into too much detail, this song is kind of an emotional representation of an inner conflict I have, and perhaps other people may have experienced too, of loving someone so much and wanting to share a life with them by their side, but really needing to be in another place, devastatingly away from them. For me personally, it is about the deep-seated need and desire to experience the simpler pleasures, around nature, away from the city. I hope it resonates with people no matter what their reasons are. I guess I wanted the production to be fairly simple for this one, the sound of a sole ukulele to start with, as that is how I have been playing in lockdown in Wales, in forests or by rivers just sitting and playing accompanied by vocals. But then I love the way Sol Seppy in ‘Enter One’ has this very simple voice and piano part to start, and then in the chorus, it kind of quietly explodes into a mass of reverb like she’s going underwater… I always had this idea that a video for Take You With Me would have images of being submerged in water, so I fitted the production ideas with the visuals in my head! We hear you’ve done several surf trips with your ukulele, which has inspired you to write a lot of your material. How do you think the atmosphere and culture around you influence your writing? Well, I suppose it is all about energy for me, whether that is coming from within or from something external. When I travel and am around surfing culture and feeling all that incredible positive energy, I tend to write more upbeat songs. They are often not the ones that make the cut however as I do tend to lean towards the more emotive songs I write. But, in winter if I am stuck indoors a lot in London, the songs get too downbeat, so they don’t seem to get finalized either as I don’t want to depress everyone do I!? You have a very distinct vocal style and sound to your music. How has your musicality and artistry developed over the years into what it is today? Do you think being a part of multiple music groups has helped you grow? Thank you, well definitely, every band and musical project I’ve been a part of has influenced me in some way. From the instrumentation to the string arrangements to the production. You also learn so much from other songwriters and by going into different recording studios, you pick up ideas on how various instruments can be put together to create something…also being around other musicians with diverse music tastes can also massively take you down new creative paths of your own. What is your biggest goal to accomplish in the music industry? Is this being worked on currently? I’m currently working on my craft and finding my sound, reaching out to new fans, and creating a community that cares about the music and general ethos. I am currently working on a live gig set so that I can be more active in the music industry’s live music sphere. I’m also working on gaining more coverage in music publications and get some more radio play. What's keeping you inspired throughout 2020? So many things right now! I find I am being inspired by the changes and magic of nature all around me, various revolutionary shifts happening in the world at the moment, seeing acts of love and heroism and lastly, I’m pretty inspired by all that I am seeing on Instagram, people being more creative than ever. I get inspired also by other peoples’ stories, people opening up to me about the complexities of their emotions or life situations - somehow COVID has brought about a need for truth and honesty, either within themselves or outwardly with other people, and that can lead to profound transformation. Speaking of which, I’m delving more and more into spirituality and the idea of human consciousness awakening and evolving, I am inspired by Eckhart Tolle and the power of meditation. I am drawn to artists such as Rhye, who seem to be actualizing a sense of community and healing alongside their music and art, all very inspiring. instagram.com/lunarosamusic facebook.com/lunarosamusicuk #BUZZMUSIC

Indie artist Isaac Snow is back with his melancholic, lighthearted musical persona, and this time, he's offering listeners a carefree environment to bask in. Isaac Snow is known for creating airy soundscapes that are polished and unpolished in the most appropriate ways. Isaac is the kind of artist that leaves anticipation for relaxation, and once you give one of his songs listening to, there's a high chance you'll find yourself unwinding. South London's Isaac Snow is all about finding his true artistic identity, and his latest track, "Run Away," brings him one step closer to establishing the essence of his sound. Embedding rich and lambent productions alongside his almost ethereal vocal sense, Isaac Snow showcases his leisurely spirit with "Run Away." The song begins with a soft guitar presence that holds itself consistent throughout the entirety of itself. The storyline of "Run Away" tracks along with the perspective of Isaac Snow regarding hardship and personal battles with one's own decisions. There may even be a time where you find yourself almost blending with the mindset of Isaac Snow, melting into each and every word he says, and having a newfound understanding of what it is he's getting across within the song. "Run Away" was incredibly tranquil, and we found that it's fitting for a night where you're wanting to mellow down. Would you say that the goal of the song was to inspire listeners to feel harmonious? Do you typically have expectations on what you're wanting your listeners to take away from your music? I wanted the song to resonate with people, I wanted them to connect to its message and for them to find solace in the music. The song is about trying to find your place in a world where we are so connected but have never been so far apart. It is about longing for a sense of identity. I think a lot of people have these feelings and I wanted to express that, and for people to listen to it and find peace in the fact that they aren't alone in those feelings. Ultimately, that was my goal, and if that inspires people to feel harmonious then I am satisfied. I normally want my listeners to take something away from my music, with music like this that is so raw and personal, you can't listen to it passively. You have to actually connect to what it is saying and how it relates to your life, in whatever way that may be. I want my music to inspire something in people and I want it to mean something to them. Without giving too much detail, are you able to describe the essence of "Run Away" and what a new listener can expect to understand regarding the song's message? Run Away is about longing for a sense of identity. It is about wanting to belong somewhere. No matter who you are, everyone has that desire. It is about being stuck in a place where you maybe feel like you don't belong and searching for something else. I believe a new listener is able to listen to this song and connect to it on that level, everyone's either running from or running toward something in their lives. Within the last few months, how would you describe the way you're staying connected with your listeners and with your own music? I am a new artist so right now my priority is connecting to new listeners and making sure people are hearing my music. I try to be active on Instagram, posting visuals, and music through there. I think if the music is good enough people will listen and stay connected, I think my music is bigger than 'me' as a brand but Instagram is the best way to stay connected. Following the release of "Run Away", do you have any immediate plans to do any live broadcast shows to debut the single? I have an exciting live video session coming soon, I will be recording an intimate live acoustic session of both of my new singles and debuting an acoustic version of a new one. I am also planning to drop regular singles and visuals over the coming months so watch this space - this is just the beginning. What has been keeping your inspired and motivated throughout these tough times? I have tried to stay inspired by writing and recording music. I am constantly writing new songs and trying to experiment with my style more. I have taken up the piano which I have found has been great to focus on and invest myself in. Otherwise, I have been reading a lot and trying to stay active as well as working in my full-time job from home. Trying to keep yourself focused is an important thing. instagram.com/isaacsnow_ facebook.com/IsaacSnxw #BUZZMUSIC

Taking a look at previously featured artist Jerelle, we remember what it is about him that inspires us (hint: it's more than just one thing).

Jerelle manifests positive energy throughout his music, and listeners can ultimately expect an entertaining space full of playful vibes when it comes to his releases.

Jerelle has the goal in mind to elicit change with his passion and to be able to express all emotionality as a form of therapy within his work as a music artist. As an artist who is fixated on staying inspired, we know that we can expect more expressive collections from Jerelle in the near future.

The initial oncoming of Warganization's "Like A Nightmare" is reminiscent of an old school vinyl single auctioned exclusively at indie record downsizing sales—and the song itself sounds proudly fazed out and hazy by unspecified and unintelligible whispers that twinkle across the expanse of this single. Backed by a twinkling of keys and hopping bassline Jack Morrison's two-tone reverberated echos wail at the head of this track. Here, he reintroduces himself with an enigmatic cascade of intimately close backup vocals that expand the mix's width. The accompanying video is like watching the band conjoin in performance over their isolated room's webcam on a teched-out VCR cassette tape malfunction as it morphs into some version of our nightmares most psychedelic functioning. It looks like it was made under the confines of quarantine, and the creativity involved in the production and sonics surrounding this single are equivalently mesmerizing. Still, it can be challenging to connect Warganization's sound to the concept of one genre as this ethereal amalgamation blazons into it's disassociating transitional sections. "Like A Nightmare" pulls your ear to one corner with oscillating synths and to the other with distorting breakbeat drums, while the static of the purple-hued video is always shifting in your peripherals. The mix flourishes sonically with an echoing croon or synth solo from Outerspace and after, saturated belts of Jack Morrison himself reveal the further tastings to copulate. It's a dense spiral of synths, collaborating breakbeats, and soaring vocal flights. A highlight here is Morrison's voice—nimble and eloquent—able to convey authentic, mesmerizing sensations, which is nonetheless surrounded by a shapeshifting wall of sound. "It's like a nightmare that you can't wake up from," Morrison expells in the chorus, discharging deftly between saturation and distorted crescendos as if over a vintage Neve pre-amp. The darkness surrounding the visuals captures the psychedelic and empyreal tactility of the music here exceedingly well. Discover "Like A Nightmare" here. What's the story behind this collaboration? How did you manage to create such a fitting visual to this mesmeric venture of a song? I thought it'd be cool to have a sort of multi-cam performance video with the "players" being in different locations & situations, with a dead man holding the TV as the entire video played.  When we actually set up for the "dead man" shoot, it seemed better to just have it sitting by him with the subtle implication this was all filmed in the past & the dead guy was one of the players in the vid (or all of them.)  I don't really do too well with any sort of story-driven music videos so any elements like that are almost always just going to be subtle "hints."  The whole thing was filmed by me & frequent Warg collaborator Katy Scherer There's a reminiscent character to some of the early '90s in your sound, would you say you are influenced by any specific periods in the music industry or notable self-declared "Idols" in your mind? Not really, I'm drawn to a lot of the overtly-energetic stuff of the 90s which doesn't seem to crop up all that much anymore.  I've been having a serious resurgence of listening to a lot of the classic Warp Records stuff: Aphex Twin, Autechre, Squarepusher, Boards of Canada.  Most things I hear now, mainstream or otherwise, are very "syrupy," atmospheric, slow.  And I like that stuff, but I also love stuff from the past that really just went over the top with broken breakbeats, eerie atmospheres, & just a general disdain or disregard for whoever was going to like or listen to it.  A lot of what I hear today just sounds extremely pandering and "Hollywood-ready," though on the plus side that makes it even more rewarding to hear the stuff that does actually manage to be raw & honest. It sounds like you put a lot of effort into making this mix as dynamic and shapeshifting as possible, but what do you think makes Like A Nightmare most interpretive and profound to you? I don't think too much about what I'm about to do, it just happens and sometimes I don't even remember producing it - Like a Nightmare is one of those tracks.  I only vaguely remember making it, and yet here it is existing in full.  I do remember going in spontaneously for the vocals, nothing is written or demoed, and just recording the whole thing minus the spoken bridge section.  That bridge section is the thing I most clearly remember since it was the last part I did for the song & for a while I really didn't know what was going to go there.  I'd toyed with the idea of trying to find the perfect old horror-movie vocal sample or something but ultimately I ended up just coming up with a spoken part of my own that actually came straight from a dream (well, nightmare) I'd had the night before. Are there more offerings similar to this one on the up and coming Record, Mazda Music? Or can we expect a journey into more novel and undiscovered territories? Well, sort of.  The atmosphere is definitely there throughout the album, though there's not really another full-on "drill & bass" tune on there - I could definitely see myself going more into that kind of stuff on the next record.  Mazda's more of a hip-hop-infused thing though, with a couple of diversions that still maintain the sort of B-movie horror vibe I wanted for this one.  The Like a Nightmare EP, which is essentially an extended single, will definitely scratch that itch in the meantime though. What has been keeping you inspired this year? The quarantine has actually been sort of motivational in itself since it largely took away the crutch of going out and seeing or playing music rather than really working on my own stuff in isolation as is sometimes the necessary ingredient to getting something done.  A lot of the songs I was writing, months before any of this happened, had themes of isolation, paranoia & fear anyway and everything going on right now has only amplified those characteristics, so it's a bit of a - for lack of better term - happy coincidence I'll be releasing this in the midst of it. instagram.com/warganization warganization.bandcamp.com #BUZZMUSIC

Remember Alt/Rock music artist Jay Luke? To jog your memory a bit, Jay Luke offers very collective and expressive songs that very much adhere to a heavier take on the alternative-rock music scene. Jay Luke has garnered an impressive resumé over the past 17 years as a recording artist, and he's had the time to carefully craft his powerful sound. Being subjected to a myriad of experiences over the years, Jay Luke infuses his raw perspective into released songs. He is never afraid to tell it how it is, which is most definitely an attractive element to his sound. Recent works from Jay Luke included "Trapped in Your Cell" and his album, "It's About Time."
