The West London based R&B artist Tayah Julien fuses in the smooth vibes from classic R&B with deep, heaving sounding hip-hop grooves, the exciting nature of Trap, and the silkiness of soul to create magical experiences that you’ll be able to fall in love with any time. After releasing her debut single “Vibe” which gained over 12000 views, Tayah is back with a brand new single “Never Left” and we cannot get enough of the vibe that she creates. “Never Left” quickly pulls us in with some snazzy chords that then leads to an incredibly chill movement where Tayah’s ever so sweet voice beautifully speaks to our soul and brings us to an inner happiness. Then after hitting us in the chest with heavy 808 kick drums and edgy dynamic high-hats, Tayah transports us to a colorful world where she tells us the story about a couple coming back, this antitypical love story quickly intrigues us to want to listen in closer to every single lyric. From the silky vocals to the heavy percussion, to the clever songwriting, “Never Left” is a tune that we will be adding to our personal vibe out playlists and think that you should too. Listen to “Never Left” here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Tayah! We are loving those ever so sweet vibes that you created in “Never Left”, what would some of your favorite R&B and hip-hop artists be that inspired you to go in this artistic direction? What about them makes them an influence for you? Since young I’ve always had a ranged music library, from all eras and genres. In terms of this style, I’d highlight artists like Amerie. I still listen to her, I love how she makes productions sit in HER melodic pocket and her background harmonies are fire. The silky nature of your vocal performance perfectly suits every one of the lyrics, what was it like to come up with the story behind this song? What kind of personal connection do you have with the lyrics? This song relates to feelings of reminiscing. during the last couple of years I’ve realized how fast speed was all going in very different directions and how that can affect relationships with each other. what’s important and meant to be will find its way back to that. We’re loving this R&B trap hybrid that you created, what was the whole production process like for the background beat? Did you start off with those snazzy chords or the heavy drum rhythms? Thank you. the chords for this one naturally came first along with the basic melodies. the producer of this track is heavy with the keys so once we collaborated, he was able to add more passion into the track. Ever since your first single “Vibe”, what are some of the things you feel you have grown on as an artist? Are there any future goals that you would like to achieve with future releases? What else can we expect from you in 2020? definitely in terms of handling the business. I’ve learned so much from tech to building EPKs, content building to even graphics. I love what has been possible to do independently. it’s a freeing feeling. but the day that comes for that to be handled and I can sit in solely creative mode for long periods of time, I’ll welcome it for sure. In terms of future growth, my desire has always been centered around impact and genuine connection. Whether that be with listeners, other musicians, or other creatives in other industries. By continuing to do my thing, I’m allowing myself to cross paths with the above at the right timing with the right purpose. In 2020 I’m most looking forward to sharing more of myself. twitter.com/infinitayah instagram.com/infinitayah facebook.com/infinitayah #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from London, UK, alternative-rock band The Ancient Unknown releases their throbbing debut release “Jesus Christ”. Although The Ancient Unknown has undergone quite a few changes to their lineup, the band has its core duo being Crispin Case-Leng (guitar/vox) and Charles Whaley (drums), while for their debut single adding Billy Webster on bass. Their debut “Jesus Christ” is said to be about the oddity of blasphemy, and humans finding a way to blame external factors for the mistakes we chose to make. Through hard-hitting rock instrumentals, The Ancient Unknown also released a music video that features the devil himself playing small pranks on The Ancient Unknown. While “Jesus Christ” begins to play out, we’re met with rumbling electric guitar riffs and Charles Whaley’s griping drum patterns. As Crispin Case-Leng’s vocals make their sharp appearance, we can’t help but be reminded of the iconic fellow brit Robert Plant and his soaring vocals. Speaking on their music video, The Ancient Unknown takes a conceptual and humorous turn by having the devil unscrew the band’s saltshaker, slap one of them upside the head, and spilling a wine glass on Charles Whaley. While Crispin Case-Leng looks highly unimpressed for what he’s being blamed for, we’re met with the understanding of the song's message being to take accountability for the mess you made. “Jesus Christ” offers scorching rock instrumentals and an attention-grabbing video, they’ve made it clear that The Ancient Unknown will be around for a while. You can listen to "Jesus Christ" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic, Ancient Unknown! We’re thrilled to feature your riveting debut single “Jesus Christ”. Why did the band choose to lead their artistic path with this single? We chose Jesus Christ as it's a bit out of the box and crazy, but still catchy enough to get inside people's ears. Some of our music is crazier, some more mainstream, so this one that seemed to us, to fit in the middle of the park seemed a good call to share first. Speaking on your single “Jesus Christ”, Ancient Unknown cleverly ties in themes of blasphemy and accountability. Could you expand on where the band found inspiration to write about these conceptual topics for “Jesus Christ”? Crispin is a lover of the English language and is often fascinated by idioms, sayings, and phrases in everyday use. Finding it interesting how people can utter 'Jesus Christ' when annoyed at oneself/others, even without being religious, and the unintended offense this can cause, got him thinking, it would make a fun lyric in a song! Something which everyone says, but its literal meaning is not often considered. We also find it interesting that people living a more religious path find the phrase so offensive when it isn't intended that way. It's strange how the utterance of a name can cause such grievance- especially, as we said before when the literal meaning is not really regarded in a moment of annoyance/upset. In regards to the music video for “Jesus Christ”, Ancient Unknown brings in humorous imagery with the devil pulling some pranks on the band. How did you want the music video to portray the message on “Jesus Christ”? The music video is supposed to show the idea that this external force could exist that is influencing our lives and our mistakes, but the fact the devil is in invisible to the band shows the ambiguity of its existence- is it actually the devil/a demon, or is it, in fact, a part of our conscience that provokes there's bad actions. Perhaps it's neither- just complete chance and our desire to put meaning to even little mistakes is in fact the only thing that makes us see demons. We’ve heard that Ancient Unknown’s live performance is said to turn heads with the band's eccentricity. Could you speak on what makes Ancient Unknown’s show so appealing and interesting? Oh we are pretty nuts on stage. Our shows are full of energy and have lots of unexpected, alien-like theatrics to keep the crowd entertained. One time our old key player, Beaven, who is still a great friend, decided to haunch down and pray during our performance of Jesus Christ- some people in the audience enjoyed it so much they ran on stage and took a pew next to him! We loved that our spontaneity inspired others to be that way themselves. The world is much more fun with a little randomness in the mix. What can we expect to see next from you? We have two more tracks ready to release in the next few months and then are hoping to get back into the studio for some further recording of what we regard to be our best material yet. They should be coming out as singles over the next year and then hopefully an album in late 2021, we also have a very special secret project in the works, but it's been put on hold by the lockdown. We would love to have some industry backing for both the album and the secret project, because we think they are gonna be big, bold, and, colorful, which could well be needed in these strange times. theancientunknown.com facebook.com/theancientunknown instagram.com/theancientunknown #BUZZMUSIC

From the lovely Arizona, Dylan Ludwig is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and producer who has just released a groovy and lighthearted single called “Days Go By.” Having grown up with a strong passion for music, Dylan Ludwig was constantly absorbing music from a wide range of genres. This shows in his music style today – he loves to mix flavors of different genres into his own personal recipe! Dylan Ludwig loves the flavors of old school 70s rock, vintage psych-country, and soulful rock and roll. He embraces the laid back aspects of these music styles into his new release “Days Go By.” Having a knack for a variety of instruments, Dylan places emphasis on the ability of his instruments to set the tone of the song. “Days Go By” has a carefree electric guitar melody along with a mellow rock and roll drum. With an electric guitar, Dylan Ludwig often uses a vibrato technique, where he alters the pitch of a drawn-out note, giving the song a playful effect. In addition, the effortless vocal harmonies of “Days Go By” are sung with a feel-good drawl. As the song progresses it transitions from tones of vintage rock into its soulful blues with the help of a sophisticated saxophone sound. Dylan Ludwig ensures that everything about “Days Go By” will wind down listeners and leave them feeling relaxed and satisfied. You can listen to "Days Go By" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Dylan Ludwig! You showed us how versatile your music taste is by incorporating aspects of many different genres into “Days Go By.” Can you tell us more about your personal music style? I’m not sure I would have one specific music style. I started out wanting to be a folk singer, transitioned into an Indie-Americana-esque type band (Shady Grass), fronted a down-home folk ensemble (The Barrio Ramblers), performed “Solo” with various formations of backing bands as well as leading a high energy Honky-Tonk/Country Rock group (Fallen Arrows). I guess I would say my sound is based on American roots music. Blues, country, soul, folk and Rock n’ Roll. What is the message behind the lyrics in “Days Go By?” The words are always the most important part for me.  The music usually comes pretty quickly, but I spend a lot of time writing, editing, and rewriting the lyrics. My favorites are Bob Dylan, John Prine, Townes Van Zandt, Tom Waits, Neil Young…(I can go on and on) .these guys are the best ever! I’ll spend weeks on one sentence trying to get the same feeling I would get from listening to one of them sing a line. On the other hand, I love how in a good country song, plainspoken words can be sung simply with so much emotion and energy like in a Hank Williams of Ernest Tubb song. I love it when you get more from the delivery of the words that the words themselves. Once I feel like I've got the words in place, I'm free to experiment sonically. I can always hear the full arrangements when I'm writing, and composing the music is my favorite part. I was always fascinated by sound. Not just the music but the way it feels when it hits you. Hearing a sound and not knowing what it was why or why it makes me feel a certain way. I try to write songs that can stand on their own, but be able to present them in ways that were sonically exciting and intriguing. I’ve always recorded myself, constantly experimenting with different techniques. Sometimes the songs start as a search for a certain vibe or type of sound before I know what they are going to be about. I developed a fascination with recording when I first heard The Beatles and all the amazing and wild sounds they were recording at Abbey Road with George Martin and Geoff Emerick. It made me think more about the arrangement and how to craft a song into something larger than life. Also, a lot of the instrumentation used in Beatles recordings find their way into my productions. Those are my favorite sounds…Wurlitzers, Fuzzy guitars, mellotron, strings, and horns…. Growing up you had many musical idols including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, John Prine, Tom Waits, The Beetles, and Led Zeppelin. How have these artists inspired your musical style? Artists like Bob Dylan, John Prine, Leonard Cohen, and Tom Waits are some who inspire me to be a songwriter, and I can go on and on with the list but the truth is that I'm inspired by everything that hear.  There was always Frank Sinatra and Tony Bennet playing in my house growing up. My dad loved opera so I also heard a lot of Pavarotti and Adrea Bocelli. I can listen to Louis Armstrong all day long. I played Bass Clarinet all through high school which immersed me in classical, jazz, orchestral, and marching band music. You have been songwriting since you were a young boy! Can you tell us how your writing style has evolved over the years? What inspired you to write the lyrics for “Days Go By?” For my 12th birthday, my dad got me Harvest by Neil Young and the Led Zeppelin “Early Days” Compilation. My life was forever changed. Two totally different records but I knew right away that I loved them both so much, equally but totally different. I learned from Neil young that you don’t have to have to be the worlds greatest singer or guitar player to create a sound that is relatable and uniquely your own. You have to tell your story in your own way for it to ring true. On the other hand, the sonics and raw power of Led Zeppelin records are what inspired me to pick up an electric guitar. I am still in search of that perfect riff and massive drum sound! I would say the biggest change in my writing style over the years has been more of a focus on arrangement and production. I started an actual recording studio in 2015  (https://www.ravensoundstudio.com/)  and kind of started from scratch re-learning how to record, trying to redefine my sound. “Days Go By” is the song I used to try out all my experiments. The days definitely went by while I worked on this one!  The basic fingerpicking guitar part was my kind of go-to thing that I would play every time I picked up a guitar. It started a simple demo and I would continue to add every idea I could think of. When it was too full I would break it down and start from scratch, only using the best ideas. I only had the first verse for the longest time but eventually the rest came. It’s an ode to the passing of time. It's about how a moment can last forever and then you blink and it's gone. It's about how you can close your eyes and slip away into your own world, making everything else disappear, that space between being awake and asleep. Just sitting and watching the clouds go by. What can we expect to see next from you? There is currently an animated music video in the works for “Days Go By” featuring the artwork of Matt Adams. I plan on releasing a few more singles and videos this year and a full-length record in 2021. facebook.com/dylanludwigmusic instagram.com/dylanludwig #BUZZMUSIC

Singer/songwriter Ari Tahan rises from the depths of sorrow to release her storytelling EP 'Closure.' With powerful vocals that range similar to the likes of Adele, Alicia Keys, and Joss Stone, Ari Tahan sees her music as a cornerstone to express not only her woes but her mother's as well. Ari Tahan mentioned that watching her parents' divorce was grueling and painful. Seeing the pain in her mother's eyes served as a pure inspiration to take on the process of the 'Closure' EP to sing from her mother's perspective to take us on an emotional and empowering journey. With the intro track "Idiot," starting the EP with heavy emotions of anger and losing yourself in the process of the relationship. Opening with dominant violin strings that serve the entire way through, Ari Tahan grasps our attention with self-assured lyrics like "you've taken it away from me," and brings a message of getting away from toxic love. Through textured and cinematic instrumentals that bring "Idiot" to an exciting atmosphere, Ari Tahan's vocals and lyrics find their way straight to our hearts. Taking the 'Closure' EP to the climax with the second track "Out of Time," this song takes a more personal turn towards Ari Tahan's perspective of the exhausting situation. As she sings a letter to her father through lyrics that speak on their own, "you broke it, you fix it." It can be any child's wish to get their parents back together, and "Out of Time" displays precisely that. Not to mention emotionally-rich instrumentals through brass, piano, and percussion, Ari Tahan soars overtop with such a vulnerable message. We're nothing but impressed with her songwriting abilities at this point. Giving us a down-tempo and more serene feel, the third track "Under Water" takes us on a different kind of ride, one that we can all relate too. Feeling suffocated from a love that's gone wrong, and finding yourself deep "Under Water." This track surrounds Ari Tahan's parents and their last moments together, full of tears, fighting, and drowning within sadness. Ari Tahan effortlessly touches our hearts, with mesmerizing acoustic guitar and textured percussion she brings the 'Closure' EP to the softest and most sincere point. Reaching the end of the EP, we are met with the empowering final chapter, "Lovers Game." Entirely closing out the EP by sharing a message of acceptance and moving for the better. Ari Tahan brings an uplifting pop-infused tune through feel-good instrumentals with pulsing electric guitar, stimulating drums, and Ari Tahan's haunting background vocals. She sings lyrics of picking yourself up and walking away from the mess of toxic love. Beautifully ending off the 'Closure' EP, we can't help but feel a sense of closure as well. Ari Tahan served a brilliantly textured storyline, and it's one to take note of. You can discover 'Closure' here. Hey Ari Tahan, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’d like to start off by saying how important the 'Closure' EP is to anyone who’s endured their parents separating. What do you want listeners to learn and take away from the 'Closure' EP as a whole? Hey! Thank you so much. I definitely want my listeners to understand that it’s so normal to feel angry and upset - whether it’s your own parents separating or if you are the one separating from your other half. Betrayal can be scarring - but it doesn’t define you. Time is a healer, and as I am much older now, I can say this with ease. I believe some things happen for a reason because each of my parents are the happiest I have ever seen them with their new partners, I have two wonderful families and awesome step siblings - I actually don’t know what I’d do without them! So embrace change - and just accept it in order to move on and be happy! Not even halfway through your EP 'Closure', we were incredibly impressed by Ari Tahan’s vivid storytelling and songwriting. Could you share what helped your creative process find the right lyrics that portray the stories you want to be told? Each one of these songs comes from real-life experiences so the writing came very naturally. Whilst studying for my exams I used to hear my parents arguing a lot so I wrote some lyrics based on what was happening around me at that point. Later on I brainstormed everything and created the 4 songs to represent the stages of their relationship. Within your EP 'Closure', Ari Tahan sings from your mother's perspective on the majority of the songs. What made you take this innovative and emotional route? Living alone with my mum for 4 years after my parents separated meant a lot of time watching and listening to her healing process which wasn’t easy at all for me to handle. With my songwriting, I felt I knew more about my mum's emotions over my own, and I also wanted to write in the first person so the listener could take the song and relate to it in their own way. All four tracks on your EP 'Closure' serve a different meaning that sums up the entire project’s storyline. Are there any tracks in particular that Ari Tahan resonates most with, or are your favorite? I love each song for a different reason, but I do love to perform ‘Idiot’ live the most as it comes with sass as well as emotion and I enjoy the hooks that come with it! There is also a remix of this song which has attracted a whole new audience for me - it’s amazing how a remix can form a whole new vibe for the song! I love it. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? During these crazy times in lockdown, I was asked to create a song for BBC Surrey day. The song was picked to be aired and was also selected for BBC Radio Surrey’s  ‘Track of the Week’ which was awesome! The song is called ‘Higher’ and it is now officially released on all of my music platforms. I have chosen to support ‘Mind’ charity by donating some of the proceeds to them. The info to donate is on my Facebook via @aritahanmusic. The future is looking good music-wise and I have many more songs lined up ready to be released so keep an eye out for announcements via my social media! instagram.com/aritahanmusic aritahan.com #BUZZMUSIC

The Hip-Hop / Neo-Soul hybrid artist Lo is all about giving people to think about with every lyric; he does this through the use of clever metaphors that are openly relatable for anyone to relate to. Lo has the tendency in his music to lure you into the world he is creating, especially in his latest release, “Living.” We couldn’t help but feel almost hypnotized in the story that Lo was unfolding to us. The stories that we were being told of are ones that we felt deeply connected to. Lo’s story of learning his love for rap while growing up and then fusing all of his influences to create this amazing blend in his music that feels both fresh and familiar was something that we found inspiring for many other artists to take notes on. Ultimately, Lo is a storyteller of his own life and uses this to help inspire others to become their better selves. In his latest release, “Living,” Lo talks to us about the current state of life and his aspirations for his future. This genuinely is something that speaks out to us and shows a lot of the open nature of Lo’s persona. Lo is guaranteeing for us to hear new singles in 2020 and also a music video for “Living,” we can’t wait to hear what is coming next. Listen to “Living” by Lo here. instagram.com/reallo_to twitter.com/reallo_to #BuzzMusic

Francesco Le Metre; is a witty, lyrical contemporary piano player with a firm footing in the world of indie, avante grade, and electronic music ala his contemporaries Rob Simonsen, Benjamin Wynn, Volker Bertelmann and Dustin O'Halloran. He is best known for working on film scores ranging from the critically acclaimed Sundance Film "Disclosure: Trans Lives on Screen" to mainstream hits like "Adrift" and "The Hate U Give". His debut solo album, Abroad, will be released this summer. We are proud to feature his new video & single "Fraternalism" (streaming now) on BuzzMusic! The second single from his upcoming album, this piece showcases Le Metre's ability to be equal parts reserved and jubilant with his playing. A keen sense of composition turns this song into a veritable soundtrack to the artists youth, with an accompanying visualizer that will guide you through a compelling journey of nostalgia. Enjoy our interview with him below. "Fraternalism" tells a story sonically - can you elaborate on any specific themes or narratives you had in mind while writing it?  I couldn’t have started the album in any other way than talking about the person that means the most in my life. My older brother. "Fraternalism" is the music of me thinking about all the beautiful memories that I share with my brother;  with the video being all these snapshots going by on a screen. It is melancholic but also brings me joy. I first started writing the piece on piano; inspired by this childhood video that my father made asking my brother and I to talk about how beautiful our mother was. As I was writing the piece I wanted to go deeper and make the song a bit more personal. That was the moment when I had the idea to import the dialogues between my brother and I from the video, and make a repetitive loop out of it. I ended up tuning in the vocals to a constant pitch in order to make them cohesive with the rest of the piece and then added some verbs and delay to create a sound texture to support the main piano piece. As a final touch I added some subtle string quartet counter melodies and textures to add a layer of lightness and positivity into the song. Who are some "outside the box" musicians you really look up to and admire? It's clear that you write music that has a broad spectrum of influences to it rather than fitting perfectly in the "classical" or "piano player" box - we'd love to hear more about the artists who resonate with you! One of the artists that really shaped my musicianship, especially as I was growing, up is bassist Marcus Miller. He was THE person that took the concept of electric bass to the next level. He took a supporting instrument and made it the main protagonist of a band, still respecting its main rhythm section functionality. I also love his sense of mentorship and attention to upcoming musicians. Another musician and composer I really respect is Johan Johansson. Unfortunately, he passed away too soon but he had an elevated sense of minimalism and depth from the composition to his very outside the box sound design. On a similar,  note I believe Jonny Greenwood is extremely talented and creative in his compositions. How has the process of writing the music for your debut album "Abroad" differed from the experience of composing for film and TV? Writing a record is definitely different than writing a score for a film. There are some commonalities, such as having a vision and creating a sonic concept that makes sense with the story. However, in this case, the story is very personal. The album is about my life journey, being away from my family, and overcoming challenges. Since the basic building block of an album (the music) exists mainly without imagery, motion, or dialogue,  you have to get away from that sense of pragmatism typical of film scores. I would say It was less stressful in terms of deadlines and logistics. However, It took a big emotional toll on me as I was working on it. I didn’t find it easy sometimes to go deep and dive into what I was feeling. When you think you are going deep, you usually just scratch the surface and you have to push yourself more into it. "Abroad" comes out this summer - are you working on any other projects around this album release? Any new music on the horizon from you? I just wrapped a TV show, and I am currently preparing the soundtrack of the documentary I scored this past winter. As of the future I think I will definitely take some time off and reset a bit. I have plans for a second album and a possible collaboration with a friend of mine. But that’s for another time. Discover more music from Francesco Le Metre here. instagram.com/flemetre #BUZZMUSIC

Welcome back to BuzzMusic Geno! We're really thrilled to have you back with us to share your new single "Bitcoin" with us. What motivated you to make a song inspired by your involvement with the notorious virtual currency Bitcoins? The most simpler answer is I thought it was dope. The whole theme came to me all at once when I heard the beat. And I have more and more people approaching me about getting involved in BitCoin & telling me it's the wave of the future. It just lined up perfectly to create a song about it in my own unique way. Especially in light of a lot of financial institutions collapsing with everything surrounding coronavirus. My homie Tre Exel from Atlanta made the beat and when he sent it to me I promised I would deliver a classic. If you ask me I came through without a doubt. What do you hope to achieve for yourself as an artist through the highlighted themes found throughout your catalog of lyrical displays? Greatness I have a really beautiful mind and way of thinking and if executed properly I know I can be one of the legends of hip hop. I want to spread my influence and share my experiences both good and bad with the world. I only hope people listen and understand. But if you get the power in the lyrics I say and how I deliver them I know a have one of the most unique voices and content in hip hop. It's all about it being executed and received properly. When it comes to your early year and where you come up, do you believe Englewood was a vital source of development for you musically? Why? Englewood was and is everything that I am. No way I come to be the man I am today and as well rounded without it. I have always been an avid reader lol comic books in particular but I read a lot of other fiction and nonfiction. I have a geeky side so maybe without Englewood I go off to be some Harvard graduate. Or self-absorbed jerk. I have always been a cool dude and able to adjust to any environment based on where I started. There was the right mixture of pain, & hurt. The right things I experienced in the streets make me more chiseled and edgy. But never enough to separate me from who I am. I'm the people's champ the right blend of everything that Is Englewood. Thank you, Geno! We're very eager to hear about any upcoming plans for you this year. Is there anything still currently on the burner we should know about? I'm currently working on my next project Season 2 which is the follow up to my current albumPacinoSeason I have a new single I released called What's my name and another single called Pure on the way after that PacinoSeason 2 will be one of the best albums to come out this year. The songs I already have recorded are amazing. So once again it's all about the execution which is something I'm really good at.
