Allan Robinson presents his most intoxicating music with a lush, velvety haze, enamoring us with a lustful saxophone drenched in an electric fog of a summery vibe. The one-off "Touches of Summer," is his first single to advertise his arrival in the music scene this year and his most straightforward love letter to summer yet. The trailing, impressionistic electronics and energetic percussion found on this track are highlighting similarities between Allan Robinson's creative expression and house music's nostalgic, generous sense of warmth and relaxation. Tenderly bumping drums and gleaming guitar strums immerse you in the song's serene atmosphere. The use of creatively sampled vocals braided together with Robinson's crooning use of the saxophone highlights to form a unity as fortifying as his hold on the house music structure. As his verses build on the use of crisp melodies and useful sustain of the drenched delays while crystalline guitar chimes wash over us endlessly. Before long, the song's shape dissolves, just as quickly as it emerged, and we're left dreaming for more. With this song, Robinson is expertly replicating the sensation of waking up in the morning under your favorite blanket with the sun beaming over your face, tucking you into the deepest pocket of warmth and repose. Listen to "Touches of Summer" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Allan! We're deeply mesmerized by your sound--you have such a deep understanding of your genre. Can you tell us more about the inspirations behind "Touches of Summer"? Great talking to you! Actually it's funny because it kind of came out of nowhere. I usually go for tracks with a higher tempo and so this slower, kind of chill-out sound was unfamiliar territory. But one day this friend of mine asked me "Why don't you do something that sounds relaxed and feels like summer ?". So I just started going through my guitar samples and I found the one you can hear on the record, after that the ideas just kept coming and a few days later the record was finished! As I was working on the track, my main focus was creating an energy that felt and sounded like summertime. What has been the most notable milestone example of your growth as a producer so far? I would say the first track I thought I had properly finished, and especially the average reaction it got from people around me. I was so excited about having fully produced an original record but when my friends listened to it, I realized it wasn't bad but it was far from being as good as I wanted it to be. That frustration made me spend twice as much time learning and studying other high-quality producers before diving into another record. It was a disappointing but very instructive moment to live. When you think about the artists who have influenced your style with their music, who do you consider to be the most meaningful to you earliest in life? The first electronic music artist I really got into was David Guetta. I know it may sound bad to some but his ability to make hit songs every time just blew my mind. He can blend different artists from different cultures into one powerful anthem and that for me is just outstanding. His ability to make the world dance is just pure inspiration to me. Thank you for spending this time with us here at BuzzMusic! We've enjoyed reviewing your newest single and can't wait to hear more from you! Is there anything we should keep an eye out for with regards to new releases from you coming this year? Since this is my first year as a "full-time" producer, I will be releasing as much as I can. The next few tracks will be more progressive house/dance house driven but I enjoyed so much making Touches of Summer you can definitely expect a few more slow-paced records, especially with summer just around the corner! facebook.com/allan.robinson.19 instagram.com/le_allan_robinson #BUZZMUSIC

Nashville’s own pop singer/songwriter Spencer Jordan releases his sultry new single “Bad People.” Growing up in Florida and graduating from the University of Florida in 2016. Spencer Jordan began making his way into the music industry by moving to music hotspot Nashville, TN. Gathering all he’s learned from growing up in a small beach town and finding elements of modern pop that resonate with him, Spencer Jordan’s sound reaches a charming peak with his single “Bad People”. Fusing elements of contemporary pop and Latin guitar only to make the single all the move captivating. Spencer Jordan noted that “Bad People” surrounds themes of wanting someone when you shouldn’t, and going to extreme lengths to reach your end goal. The first intriguing element we hear in “Bad People” is Spencer Jordan’s hypnotic and dynamic vocal range, serving us angelic falsetto to his powerful chest register. With uplifting yet seductive instrumentation of a single acoustic guitar picking its way to our hearts, the chorus during “Bad People” takes an unpredictable turn. While we’re anticipating a downbeat of rounded pop production, Spencer Jordan maintains his sultry atmosphere by serving us gripping Latin-infused acoustic guitar strumming and his haunting background vocals. With simple yet highly effective kicks and rim hits, we’re really able to get down with Spencer Jordan’s charm and alluring appeal through his transparent display of sensual imagery. “Bad People” takes us on quite the ride, and we’re positive you’ll enjoy it just as much as we did. Listen to "Bad People" here. Hey Spencer Jordan, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re captivated by your sensual and highly appealing sound on your recent single “Bad People”. Where did you find inspiration to write such a deeply textured and sultry song? Now I’m blushing! I’m generally a pretty goofy guy, so I feel like this song definitely threw some of my friends and fans for a loop like “Spencer said what?!?” As far as inspiration goes, all of my songs are born in the truth, either a real situation or a feeling. This song’s story was a little closer to home and came out of a period when I had very strong feelings for someone who was unable to fully reciprocate them. So instead of calling it a day, I did everything I could to get them. Spoiler alert: it didn’t work. This song is definitely a more attractive representation of that time and explores the thrill of the chase more than the emotional turmoil I was going through at the time (that’s my next song!). There’s also something so alluring about the perspective of the “bad guy” and I think that deep down everyone has those “Bad People” impulses that they wish they could act on. Within the instrumentation on your single “Bad People”, Spencer Jordan incorporates elements of transcending Latin-infused acoustic guitar. What made you want to try this within modern pop? Did the flamenco guitar add layers that met your standards? So I actually wrote this song close to 3 years ago and wrote it with the intention of having Latin and gospel elements. I grew up playing classical Spanish guitar, so it was very easy for me to imagine the vibe of the song with it. As far as putting a classical guitar in a “modern pop” song, I think people are craving different things in pop now. The genre is so expansive and there’s room for a little divergence. Speaking on the release of your recent single “Bad People”, why did you want to take a more seductive route rather than any other sounds you’ve experimented with? So far I’ve been nostalgic, clever, sad, and fun with my releases. I wanted to put out something that showed a different aspect of me that filled out my artistry a little more. This project I’m putting out now is a bunch of songs I love that inform who I am, and I think this showed a side of me that was both necessary and accurate. All my songs are sonically a little different, but when the EP is finished, this song will definitely make sense amongst them. Since graduating from the University of Florida in 2016 and moving to Nashville to begin your songwriting, is there any change or growth you’ve personally seen over time within your songwriting and sound? It’s taken all that time to find my songwriting voice. First I had to learn how to really write a song, then I had to figure out the best approach for my style. And the most recent growth is discovering what it is that I have to say as an artist. I’ve written a couple of hundred songs in the last few years, and I’ll be the first to tell you that not all of them are good, but amidst it all, I think I’ve found out where my strengths are and what I have to say that sets me apart. What can we expect to see from you through 2020? Well, I have 3 more songs coming out between now and July, which is immensely exciting and deeply stressful. Then after this project is wrapped up, I’m starting a new EP that is probably my favorite group of songs I’ve written thus far. I think we all already know this, but 2020 is gonna be a long year! instagram.com/spencerjordanmusic facebook.com/spencerjordanmusic #BUZZMUSIC

Fresh off her recent debut, alternative artist Alex Whiler releases her empowering single "Into the Fire." Being classically trained in Opera and Jazz, her haunting yet powerful vocals resemble the likes of Lana Del Rey and Hayley Williams. Finally, putting the time into releasing her own music, Alex Whiler's musical journey has only just begun.

Finely crafting her lyrics to tell her massive story, "Into the Fire," provides a sense of empowerment and conquering your inner demons. "Into the Fire" opens with emotional piano chords and serene electric guitar, moving towards Alex Whiler's crisp and soothing vocals. Reaching the whole sounding chorus, the track's instrumentation builds to a compelling sound through different melodies and rhythms. Alex Whiler's sincere songwriting is another intriguing aspect of "Into the Fire," through dynamic vocals from angelic falsetto to haunting delivery, she sings powerful lyrics like, "Toss, and I turn will I live or burn? God knows, I'm walking into the fire". Keeping us locked in with her authentic and raw emotion that resonates deep within the soul, it's evident that Alex Whiler's debut single "Into the Fire" serves nothing but passion persistence. Listen to "Into the Fire" here. Hey Alex Whiler, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re very excited to feature your debut single “Into the Fire”. What made “Into the Fire” lead the way of your artistic journey, and why did you want it to be the first song your audience hears from Alex Whiler? Thank you so much for having me and sharing my music! “Into the Fire” is really special to me because I wrote it out of a hopeful place and that’s why I wanted it to be the first single off of my EP. For me, hope usually doesn’t look super happy and cheery. It’s going quietly inside and knowing what needs to be done. Even if I’m dreading it, deep down I know that I can do it and that I have to, in order to stay true to myself. This song really walks through that and I hope it can leave listeners a different, perhaps more full picture of what hope and resilience can look like, especially in our current circumstance. From a musical standpoint, “Into the Fire” shows a lot of different parts of me that I’m excited for people to hear. There’s some driving alt-rock builds, ballad vocals, some jazz chords, and angsty lyrics-- so pretty much me in audio form. I feel like it’s a good introduction. Speaking on your journey along the Pacific Crest Trail, did you have an “Ah Ha!” moment where you knew you had to express your feelings through the medium of music, and create “Into the Fire”? Well, I brought a ukulele on the trail with me, only knowing a few chords, and on one particularly tough day, I walked by myself and just took my time. I was inspired by a song by the Staves and pieced together lyrics and a melody just telling myself to keep walking, keep on steady. I realized I had just written a song and had that little kid giddy feeling--I was smiling for the first time in days. So that did feel like an “ah-ha” moment and it gave me the push I needed to keep going, at least for a few more days until we got into town. After I left the trail, I spare-bedroom hopped and drove for Lyft for the next three months while my husband kept hiking and that’s when I wrote most of the songs on my EP, including “Into the Fire.” I knew I wanted to get back on the trail at some point just to end it on my own terms and that’s how “Into the Fire” came to me. Now that Alex Whiler is beginning to put out music of your own with the release of “Into the Fire”, could you expand on how you went about finding lyrics and imagery that portray your heavy emotions from walking the Pacific Crest Trail? Oof, such heavy emotions, yeah. I mean I was completely broken--physically, emotionally, spiritually. You know, there are these just huge things in life that defeat us or seem insurmountable, and the trail was that on a whole new level for me. It felt like I had faced a monster and after it guzzled me up, I was pissed. So I wanted to heal and recuperate, and then get stronger and more sure of myself so I could go back and prove to myself that I could beat it on my own terms. And that’s where lyrics like “You never look me in the eye, I always feel like I gotta fly, but this time I’m gonna fight” come from, in the bridge. There were a fair amount of wildfires that year too and being at home while my partner was out there trying to dodge them was pretty intense, so fires were on my mind a lot as I wrote the song, obviously. It felt like a physically and emotionally dangerous thing that I was just determined to conquer. Speaking on your well-crafted debut single “Into the Fire”, how did Alex Whiler want the track to resonate and sound to your listeners, from instrumentation to lyricism? Oh man, I love this question. You know, going back on the trail for 10 days was really healing and satisfying for me. I had so much trepidation and anger going back on and was honestly dreading it, even though it was completely my choice. So that’s where the drudging drum beat in the first verse comes from like you’re dragging your feet; but you’re doing it, you’re moving forward. Then the pre-choruses is where your curiosity and determination take over “I toss and I turn, will I live or burn? Oh, I’ve gotta know” and that takes you into the chorus where there’s even a little bit of fun in the “ooh’s” and you’re really in the game at that point. I think the most impactful element is at the end in the last chorus when everything drops out and it’s just vocals and piano. It’s a definitive moment where you get to decide how it’s going to go--am I going to let this thing get me down twice? It’s the moment you realize that everything is about perspective and we all have the choice to see failure as final or use it as fuel. And that’s when the chords shift to major and the new vocal lines come in and there’s the really resounding guitar outro and it all just fits into place. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? I’m super excited to be releasing a few more singles leading up to my EP in July! I, like every other artist, have had to reimagine how to release music and stay connected with people through social distancing, so I will mainly be on Instagram, Youtube, and Patreon for the foreseeable future. Come hang! instagram.com/alexwhiler #BUZZMUSIC

Hailing from Western Massachusetts, Sodada releases their genre-bending single “Sound of Your Troubles”. Made up of Andy Casella, Hannah Rose, Josh Hirst, and Nate Mondschein, all to bring their alt-rock/future soul musical escape to the world. With a wide range of inspirations from jazz, neo-soul, alt-pop, and punk rock, Sodada finds a happy medium that pushes their own personal boundaries. Their latest mid-tempo single “Sound of Your Troubles” mostly surrounds the alternative-rock genre, yet Sodada impressively adds in hints of jazz through complex percussion patterns and groovy piano chords. Initially opening with harmonic piano chords, and moving into dynamic instrumentation with striking guitars and Hannah Rose’s soothing and clean vocals. “Sound of Your Troubles” takes you through the imagery of realizing when someone is wallowing in their own pity and tends to play the victim. Sodada’s instrumentation gives a musical rollercoaster through the soaring chorus and mellow jazzy instrumentals while adding celestial layers through production and fine-tuned bass lines that support the songs overall dreamy ambiance. “Sound of Your Troubles” provides a feeling of freedom and letting go of things that simply don’t serve you anymore, all while giving us a glimpse of the textured creativity and songwriting within Sodada. Discover "Sound of Your Troubles" here. Hey Sodada, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re very excited to feature your latest freeing single “Sound of Your Troubles” Could you elaborate on the messages that Sodada wanted to get across within “Sound of Your Troubles”? Thanks so much for having us! Sound of your troubles showed up when I (Hannah) was thinking about people who have a lot of privilege but also like to feel sorry for themselves a lot. I guess I was feeling frustrated and was just like, “this person loves to hear the sound of their own voice, they love to hear the sound of their troubles.” I liked how that sounded and ran with it. The line “some say it’s history, me- I say it’s a rewind” refers directly to people who use “that’s the way it’s always been” as an excuse to continue to exercise their power and control over other groups of people. They have those double doors of opportunity open easily, yet it must remain open only for them. The recent single “Sound of Your Troubles” brings in well-crafted and dynamic instrumentals/melodies. What made Sodada want to create a song pushes boundaries of different genres? Thank you! I’m not sure we’re capable of doing it any other way. We (Andy and Hannah- we’re the two songwriters) have such diverse tastes in music that it’s almost impossible to not have those show up and overlap genre. Andy grew up on punk and old r&b, and Hannah on classic rock, 90s pop and indie music. Our rhythm section brings in all their own influences, too- our drummer Nate is an outstanding songwriter and producer in his own right, and our bass player Josh is one of the most respected funk musicians where we live. It’s been fun to see where all of our own influences converge within our collective music. Sodada is known to be made up of different artists/musicians who all bring their own unique elements to Sodada’s eclectic sound. How do the four of you get down to writing and creating a song? Is there a specific process or is it more experimental? Normally, it all starts with the two of us writing the bare bones of something. Most of the time, we will have various pieces of melodies, or guitar parts, or a groove, and we are always recording little snippets of ideas into our phones for working on later. Usually, the songs show up very suddenly at inconvenient times like 2 am. We have a home studio,so we will most often record a demo, which we’ll then build off of with the rest of the band in the bigger studio. Lately, because of self-isolation, we’ve been doing a Postal Service type thing with Nate where we send stuff to him and he records and sends back. This song was fun because we actually went into the big studio and recorded the basics live- it was a different process than usual, but we had a blast getting to do that. We’ve heard that Sodada initially began in NYC, but has since moved out to Western MA. How has Sodada’s sound evolved after enduring these different experiences, do you personally see any growth within your music? Absolutely. Although we’ve played in many projects prior to moving, Sodada really fully emerged once we moved here. There was something about the music and arts scene in western Mass that really drew us in, plus we live on a giant leyline,so that doesn’t hurt. The scene here has been an incredibly supportive community from the start, and that’s provided us space where it’s okay for us to be vulnerable and experiment with whatever we want. We’resofortunate to be surrounded by so many talented artists/musicians as well, it's near impossible not to be inspired! sodadamusic.com facebook.com/sodadamusic instagram.com/sodadamusic #BUZZMUSIC

The Rialto based Hip-Hop artist Aragent Aron works as a self-provoked artist who is signed to an indie label, On A High Note. Since beginning his career as an artist and working closely with legendary producer Chris the Glove Taylor, Aragent Aron has opened for icons that include Bizzy Bone and Knocturnal. Aragent Aron recently released his newest high intensity single "Chasin Tha Bag," and we could not stop moving to the groove. "Chasin Tha Bag" opens up with an incredibly moody, slightly dark synth motif that transports us to a dark, cold tunnel that is then brought to light once Aragent Aron's lyricism comes through and brings us comfort. This combined with the theme of people always chasing the money and doing anything they can to get that bag makes for a thought-provoking experience that a lot of people will easily be able to relate to. Speaking of Argent Aron's lyricism, it easily shines in "Chasin Tha Bag." With lyrics like "Haters talk, how to pay attention, ain't talking money, there's no need to listen," we got a sense of how honest of a songwriter Aragent Aron is. On the flip side, halfway through "Chasin Tha Bag," we were completely caught off guard from how quick and tight Aragent Aron was able to deliver a verse. We were genuinely thrilled from start to end about "Chasin Tha Bag" and cannot wait to hear what is coming next from Aragent Aron. You can listen to “Chasin Tha Bag” here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Aragent Aron! We could not stop vibing to your release “Chasin Tha Bag”, what were your initial thoughts when coming up for the production of this record with your producer? Which element was created first? I produced this track by myself I was thinking of the music that’s out and I wanted to put out a song that captures this genre. The first thing created first was the sample after I locked in the beat I began freestyling on it to catch a cadence that fits naturally and didn’t sound forced Speaking of your lyrics, you told us the true story about people always going after the money, how does this message relate to you and your life? Are there any alternate meanings or metaphors in this song? This song relates to anyone who’s out there trying to make ends meet survive or just plain out ball lol I went from debt and cash aid to working a decent job becoming an assistant lead went from driving a Honda to a BMW so chasing the bag is something I’m doing daily as we all should. No alternate meaning or metaphors  It’s always a great collaborative experience to have a producer, how did the two of you come to meet? What is the workflow process like between the two of you? As I am my own producer my process is longer due to the fact that I work and have a family I can put in the time to either write or make a beat very seldom can I completely finish a song in one day. What was it like the first time you opened for someone on stage? How do you think you have grown as an artist since you started performing? Do you have any goals for future shows that you’d like to achieve? Well, I opened up for Knocturnal in Long Beach Ca as well as Bizzy Bone in Santa Ana I also work wit Self Provoked you’ll recognize me in his latest video and I realized that growth happens when you accept your flaws and correct them I didn’t have a strong stage presence at first now it’s where I wanna be. For future shows I just wanna entertain the crowd more I want them to leave feeling like they were at a concert. What else can we expect from Aragent Aron in 2020? You can expect some collabs wit El da Sensei from the Artifacts production by Chris The Glove Taylor legendary producer credited wit Death Row/Aftermath some new songs wit Self Provoked and possibly the Ynoe more shows more videos better quality music. #BUZZMUSIC

Derrick Cobb's music has always been a product of his ever-evolving imagination. With a style that mingles Pop, RnB, and a new chroma of Dance music together, this artist is not afraid to dig deep. As his entourage grows and his unique approach and style continue to mature, Derek Cobb's concentration has been focused on his new single, "Don't Stop (Fuck It Up)." Here, the elusive RnB bumping innovator takes a stab at his rapping talents alongside some of his hip-hop adorned collaborators and friends, Rue Zalez, and Beauty Bellaa. Derrick Cobb typically operates between two contrasting flagstaffs: energetic dance-infused music and a more relaxed bumpy electro-colored RnB vibe. "Don't Stop (Fuck It Up)" abandon both and opts instead for a more of a rhythmic thrill ride that makes up for its lack of excessive production glitter and flashes with constant motion. Through an abundance of vocal adlibs washed with delays and rippling hi-hats, Derek Cobb shuffles around in triplet-rhythmed proclamations. The dynamic underlining beat supports the rapper's distinct flow with tight thumping kicks and crisp cut hi-hats dancing along with 32nd note bursts. In one section, Derek Cobb's pausing as if to build up more addictive momentum and energy for the upcoming part. Next, he is establishing a baseline for the next rap feature to explode off. It's a captivating approach the entire run through as each artist shines bright with their own style and tone. It's definitely not Derrick Cobb's default setting to be rapping, but it is exciting to hear him work out new flows. Derrick Cobb has evolved from a self-proclaimed bad-ass to a trailblazing rapper confident with his wordplay, unafraid of throwing himself in the deep end of unknown territories. "Don't Stop (Fuck it Up)" encapsulates his evolution so far from amateur beginnings to a more compelling, exciting chapter of exploration and imagination. We hope to see more of Derek Cobb's energy and vibe stretch into other styles and approaches. Listen to "Don't Stop (Fuck it Up)" here. instagram.com/d_cobb #BUZZMUSIC

Alabama’s own southern “trap” rap artist Alabama Nick is determined to put Alabama’s country style on the hip hop map. To further build his legacy, he teamed up with his nephew Chefboy Tyree who is also an artist and producer. Alabama, Nick is known for his country spin on trap music that he calls “country rap trap.” His main goal is to avoid falling into the ever so popular ranks of what he calls “mumble rap” and to maintain his originality and personality with his music. Having launched his rapping career in 2019, Alabama Nick has already released many singles and a debut album called “We The South.” Alabama Nick has just collaborated with artist Salembound Joshi to release their new southern rap single “Country Boy.” Although it presents as a trap song, many country flavors are found within the lyrics and melody of “Country Boy.” In contrast to most trap and hip hop songs, Alabama Nick embraces the story-telling aspect of country music in his song. The catchy melody of “Country Boy” is also sung in a southern style with a noticeable country accent during its chorus. Lyrically, Alabama Nick sings about the alluring characteristics of “country boys.” With an active 808 trap beat, fire rap verses, and its southern heat, “Country Boy” is a perfect multi-genre song for both country and trap fans. You can listen to "Country Boy" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Alabama Nick! You will have country and trap fans going crazy for your release “Country Boy.” Can you tell us more about the lyrics of the song? The lyrics of the song have a unique complex flow but are quite simple when you break them down. It basically outlines the dynamics of a country boy and what girls are missing without a country boy in their life. Who doesn’t want a man that can live off the land, take care of you and wine and dine you like you’ve never experienced? That’s what a country boy can do. At the same time, he will protect his woman and treat her with respect. How has teaming up with your nephew Chefboy Tyree benefitted you as an artist? Can you tell us more about how you collaborate artistically? Teaming up with my nephew has been awesome! He is hands down one of the best producers in the game. I have worked with a few engineers and producers in Los Angeles from my time living there. I say that to say this... Chefboy Tyree’s talent exceeds most of them. Whatever he works on, he will not stop until he masters and perfects it. Most importantly, he knows my sound; he’ll also give me the utmost honesty when something doesn’t work or fit. Most producers are afraid to hurt your feelings and will just let you go, which later can cause what I call creative remorse. This can eat away at you when a project is done. Chefboy is a straight shooter and plus he is out to make hits, just like me. One of your main goals as an artist is to make a name for Alabama in the rap world. Why is it important to you to combine these two worlds that are often assumed to be separate? The Deep South especiallyAlabamaisn’t really known for producing a lot of talent in the rap world. I know some dudes right now that would give some of the best rappers in the game a run for their money. I mean true talent and artistic ability. Most fall by the wayside and give up on their dreams because there are no outlets in Alabama to get your “voice” or talent heard by a mainstream audience. It’s my mission to let the rest of the world know that Alabama has some talent and will crush the rap game if given the opportunity. Can you tell us about your creative process with artist Salembound Joshi for your song “Country Boy?” Salembound Joshi, who is also my cousin is one of the rawest artists I’ve had the pleasure of working with. We basically just get in the studio, but beats on repeat, and try to catch a vibe. Country boy just happened to be one of the vibes we caught one night in the studio. While working on it..mid process, the three of us just looked at each other nodded, and smiled because we knew we had a hit! We’ve got some other projects in the works as well, so keep Salembound Joshi tuned in on your radar. instagram.com/therealnickthomas #BUZZMUSIC

Eye-Yo is a Christian rapper who spreads the truth about Jesus Christ, and he's about to catch his listener's attention with his newest single "I'm Going In." "I'm Going In" began with a cinematic introduction. It gave this dramatic increase, and it was the perfect buildup for the song to kick off. Eye-Yo soothes his listener in with calming piano instrumentation with comforting whispers of "I'm Going In." The vocal delivery in this "I'm Going In" was more subtle and sweet instead of showing out range and dynamics. Eye-Yo gives his listener an ethereal experience by hypnotizing you with his silent whispers, effortlessly flowing on the track. Eye-Yo isn't your typical artist. He brings a new flavor to the Gospel genre of music by fusing it with contemporary productions and his very own modern flare. "I'm Going In" has a smooth R&B vibe. It captures you into the song and allows you to escape realities and enter this atmosphere that Eye-yo creates. "I'm Going In" was an articulate creation that will absorb you into the direction you're seeking. Eye-Yo impressed us thoroughly with his stylistic production and intricate delivery. Listen to "I'm Going In" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic Eye-Yo! Your stage name is super unique and cool! Can you tell us the meaning behind this name? What does it represent for you? Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. Actually my stage name is actually how you pronounce the first half of my first name. My first name is Ayodeji. It means double joy. Which is very positive. So I wanted my personality to come out through my music. My parents are Nigerian. I was born in Torrance, California. Let’s talk about your music! We loved your arrangements in your single “I’m Going In”. What were your intentions with the production and how would you describe your creative process on it? So my intention was to make a powerful, uplifting, and moving song. Basically stating with all the hardships that come our way. I  am saying " I'm Going In" and fighting for what I believe in. That was the inspiration on the lyrical side of the song. With the production, I got a chance to collaborate with BGF Sound on the production side of the song. I had a blast I had an idea of what I wanted it to sound like. A bit gloomy but loud and powerful beat. I also want people to vibe to it as well. But overall, I am very happy with how it all turned out. Knowing you aim to deliver the truth about Jesus Christ through your music! Can you detail to us some of the messages you aimed to project in “I’m Going In”? What ultimately inspired this song? Basically my aim from the song was to stop chasing these worldly professions and chase something that is greater. I believe that if we chase these worldly professions it doesn't fulfill us. It doesn't make you happy. Sometimes it can make us depressed. But when you make Christ your priority, I believe you can find everlasting fulfillment through him. That's is the message in this song. It is to encourage and motivate people to chase everlasting fulfillment and be a light and hope in this world. Also reminding people that God is not done with you yet. Even if you fall, just get back up and continue to move on forward. What would you consider to be the most challenging aspect of creating “I’m Going In” and why? The most challenging aspect that I had with this song was finding inspiration on the lyrics. There was a time when it was a struggle for me to find encouragement through the lyrics and then I had to reflect on my past and remember a time when I faced hardship in my life and when I did I had to reflect on how Christ helped me through those difficult time in my life which I am glad I overcome this obstacle on this song. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? What you can aspect from me from 2020 is hopefully more music and possibly more visuals for the song that I make. So definitely stay tuned. facebook.com/eyeyomusik instagram.com/eyeyomusik twiiter.com/eyeyomusik #BUZZMUSIC
