Raised in the Bay Area, LVXI has always had a place in her heart for music. Starting at a young age, Lucy Liu was inspired by the vocal fluidity and raw introspection of alternative R&B. She aspired after some of the decades greatest like Mariah Carey, Beyonce, and Christina Aguilera as she engrossed herself into singing and performing regularly. LVXI began to make a name for herself after relocating to LA. There, she released her self-titled debut EP, which infused dreamy, ambient synths with deep explicit emotion. With a charismatic vibe and enticing subject matter, she is looking to lay down the foundation for her upcoming album through her latest single, "Ride or Die." The joyful and cinematic themes reflect a retro 90's feel with trance-inducing synth progressions flourishing on this beautiful intro to "Ride or Die". This sort of vibe is well established in LVXI's strengths. Her voice communicates serenity without being commonplace and stereotyped, as her song plays with the concept of materialism. The new single channels into emotions of internal conflict, swaying between feelings of vulnerability and fortitude. The lyrics reflect the hinted notion of one not being enough in a relationship, embodying the tension of reaching for material things rather than love. Maxwell inspired falsettos beautifully color this song with a glowing presence throughout. Effortlessly, LVXI hovers just above the strobing keyboard synth work like a mist rolling through until the song swells into a flurry of strings and symphonic inspired chord progressions. As it opens up, her singing crescendos, and she strikes rich tones with ruthless precision, while never refusing to sacrifice her distinctive wishful vocal qualities. Her performance in "Ride or Die" carries this throwback vibe forward into a new era, and we love it! Listen to "Ride or Die" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic LVXI! We're completely fascinated by your vibe--you have such an original and captivating presence throughout your single. Can you tell us more about your inspirations for making this new song have a 90'a throwback feel to it? Is this something you've tried before? Thank you! It wasn’t intentional, although I’ve been told a lot of my songs kind of have a TLC old-school R&B feel, so it’s likely my subconscious! I love male falsetto and some of my favorite artists include The Weeknd, Sam Smith, and Gallant. So when I started singing falsetto on this, I started to get Maxwell vibes, so I just went with it and added my own personal touch. Would you ever consider incorporate different genres into your music? Or do you think it would ruin the type of sound you are trying to establish for yourself? Haha, I’ve spent the last 5 years trying to figure out what the hell my genre is! I’ve experimented with everything from diva soul to trap to house too, most recently, a darker R&B with electronic elements. In terms of crossing genres, I’ve learned that the key is to be fluid while playing to your strengths. For example, I’ve been told that my voice has a pure, sensual tone and sits nicely in both the falsetto and high alto range - so even when I’m throwing in some raps or going more acoustic, I try to maintain these elements. As long as there’s a vibey, dreamy quality to what I’m doing - mixing genres is creative and exciting. You've shown such a strong love and passion for music at such a young age, even learning the violin at 6! How do you think you and your music have grown since you first started writing, versus now? I’ve grown tremendously. All the way up until maybe 2 years ago, I enjoyed singing but didn’t necessarily consider myself an artist. I knew I wanted to do something with it, but I was honestly lost and worried I wasn’t passionate enough to pursue it. But sometimes you just have to fake it until you make it…I told myself I’d drop a real EP and leave it at that if I didn’t feel the fire. Ironically, after I dropped my EP last August, I went through some personal drama that lit a fire under me. I went from writing 1 song every 3 months to 1 song A WEEK. My music isn’t about trying to “be somebody” anymore, it’s become an expression of living, and emotional pressure release valve, a spiritual awakening of sorts (not to be dramatic! Haha!). And it’s opened up a more powerful community than I could have never imagined. It’s thrilling. What are some of the top contributors to your artistic expression throughout your day? What is really driving you forward every day? Ooh! Great question. I love people watching and I’m intrigued by the struggles and pain that we, as humans, have to go through as we travel through life. Writing has been a way for me to bring vivid attention to our present experience, to feel every sense of emotion, self-doubt, anger, hopefulness in a deeper way. So whenever I notice something that makes me go “wow, people are fascinating” or “wow, this is a subtle nuance that we all must feel but don’t say out loud?” I put it to paper to capture it. It’s like psychoanalysis. I’m learning every day about the art and science of humanity. It was great having you here on BuzzMusic! Can you hint to us some of the emotional themes we can expect to find on the new upcoming album? Thank you so much for having me! Yes, absolutely. While my EP was all about power and ego, my debut album is going to show a lot more vulnerability and emotional range. Genres too will range from mid-tempo driving jams to soaring dreamy ballads. Thematically, I explore temptation, self-sabotage, what it feels to miss somebody or something, and ultimately acceptance. Ultimately…pain is not the absence of happiness - it’s part of it. And that’s a beautiful thing. instagram.com/lvxiofficial facebook.com/lvxiofficial lvxiofficial.com #BUZZMUSIC

We are here today to highlight the talent and work of, Bubba McCarthy. This UK based artist has credits for major artists in living and studio, corporate advertising, and television that includes the critically acclaimed X Factor, as a musician, producer, and songwriter. Bubba recently signed a publishing deal with chart-topping singer/songwriter John Newman and has come out with the acoustic version of “Forever’s Not Long Enough” and we are completely in awe from this. “Forever’s Not Long Enough” is an incredibly beautiful emotional experience, the piano, and the vocal solo is full of so much raw emotion that we found ourselves tearing up while listening, it’s a stunning listen. The performance from John Newman is something that digs deep into your heart, the way his voice breaks from his emotions hits you really hard, but in the best way possible. Especially in lyrics like “There are over 7 million songs but there’s only one I want” John brings out the best of his abilities to deliver a dynamic performance that feels like an emotional rollercoaster that slowly trickles down to a beautiful cadence at the end “Forever’s Not Long Enough”. This is definitely one of those releases that you will not want to miss out on. You can find “Forever’s Not Long Enough” here. #BUZZMUSIC

Based in New York, David Sosa is a singer and songwriter who aims to build emotional connections through his soulful lyricism. He grew up with exposure to classical music genres such as opera, jazz, and broadway. Through this experience, David developed a taste for multi-genre music. He now creates music with influences from countless genres; mainly soul and gospel. David takes advantage of his ability to inspire people through his lyrics in his new release “Laugh.” The single “Laugh” begins with a variety of David Sosa’s expressive vocal trills, introducing the soulful tone of the song. Once the lyrics begin he includes a jazz-inspired beat made up of keyboard chords. He has a smooth voice that fits the style of the song. During the chorus, the vocals have an echoing effect as he draws out the word “laugh” to display his vocal talent. Throughout “Laugh” David Sosa throws in occasional high pitched wind chimes to give the song some depth and add effect to certain moments. Lyrically, he sings about his ability to ignore judgment and focus on the joy inside his soul. He radiates positivity by bringing attention to “simply laughing” in the face of negativity. The message behind David Sosa’s lyrics tells fans what is really inside his soul – laughter. Check out "Laugh" here. Welcome to BuzzMusic David Sosa! Just like laughter, your energy is contagious. Can you elaborate on the message behind your lyrics in “Laugh?” What is the main message you try to spread as an artist? Laugh is basically about finding power in joy and finding power in laughter. It  Is the laughter that comes from knowledge and faith that things will work out in your good no matter what you're faced with so you can simply laugh in the face of adversity or any obstacles presented your way. I  tend to want to stir the emotions of my listeners and have them understand that yeah heartbreak happens in life and pain too, but through it all there are learning experiences that are priceless and is always a constant connection to a higher source. You have named many musical influences including Luther Vandross, Donny Hathaway, Patti Labelle, Mariah Carey, and Rachelle Ferrell. Can you tell us how these artists inspire your musical style? I think they all had very particular ways of utilizing their voice to emote the emotions behind their music and so they can take a remake and/or something original and really make you feel it deep down in your bones and make you have a visceral reaction.  I cannot say I have that effect on everyone who hears me sing or listens to my lyrics but I've been compared to the above artists on some things I may do vocally in my phrasing or how I approach songwriting.  All very flattering as these are my top fav artists. You are known for your ability to effortlessly mesh genres into one song. Can you tell us how your exposure to many genres growing up helped you become this type of artist? I listened to everything growing up. Classic jazz, Opera, Broadway show tunes, soul/ r&b, rock, blues, gospel ect... I paid attention to the music and the delivery and words. It all shaped me.  My father keen on supporting my gift saw to it that I took voice lessons and learned how to utilize and maintain my gift properly. Due yo my exposure to so many songs and genres, it's easy for me to mash up two songs one would never normally hear together. I'm most known for doing a mash-up of Sade/Mariah Carey in my live performances. Even in Laugh, you can hear subtle nods to Elton John and EW&F. You are scheduled to release an EP called “To Love” in the summer of 2020. Could you give fans a hint of what they can expect from this project? Journey:  To Love, is my come to the album.  I wrote the majority of the material 10yrs ago having ended with a toxic individual. During this time I ministered to myself by writing my feelings down and soon after melodies followed and all the seeds were there for the planting. This project will take listeners through my personal initial relationship with love as it pertains to my ideas and revelations through that journey.  The excitement, the breakup, the healing. Musically many nods to the R&B/Soul greats I grew up listening to, while still being current. What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? More music lives, virtual, or otherwise.  It's important to keep sharing and engaging everyone in a time that seems so scary and in need of the healing the arts bring.  I just want to do my part. facebook.com/D-Sosa #BUZZMUSIC

It all just flows out smoothly when I put on the beat and start writing lyrics. I like my art to involve real life. The backing track in this tune is incredibly hard-hitting, what was your process like to create it? Was there a particular element you started with? Did the lyrics come first or the music?

From Perth, Australia, 4-piece rock band NEIN is back and better than ever with their latest hit “The Fun One”. NEIN described their sound as Glunge, a mix of glam rock and grunge. Consisting of frontwoman Kristie Butler, Kal Englishby on guitar, Michael Williams on bass, and Daniel Schulze on drums. NEIN’s goal is to let their audience be free and dance alongside their music, with a legendary quote “They’re making a hell of a racket”. While their latest groundbreaking single “The Fun One” does this and more, with tightly-wound instrumentals that pierce through your speaker, NEIN has clearly grasped a new meaning to energy. “The Fun One” opens with Kal Englishby’s riveting electric guitar, supported by Daniel Schulze’s pounding drum patterns. As Kristie Butler’s vocals shove their way to the forefront, her vocals turn heads and effortlessly capture your attention. She sings empowering lyrics of leaving someone who’s not worth your time and energy, while Kristie Butler channels those deep emotions and saves her energy for the stage. Not to mention the band’s secret weapon, Michael Williams’ throbbing bass lines that perfectly enhance “The Fun One”s upbeat and powerful vibe. We can say that NEIN has effectively surpassed their goal of letting their music speak to their audience and let them dance the night away. Especially through their last soaring single “The Fun One”, the track is definitely worth a stream. Listen to "The Fun One" here. Hey NEIN, welcome to BuzzMusic! We’re loving the independent and empowering vibes on your latest single “The Fun One”. Where did NEIN find inspiration to write and create the hard-hitting song? It was the quickest written song on the record, just came together on the spot at practice, in a really satisfying natural way that just hit the mark. Dan, our drummer, wanted to write a fun dancing song, and Kristie, our vocalist, just started shouting about a friend of a friend that she was kind of angry with for not very good reasons. “The Fun One” was the working title, and it stuck because it’s so apt, and it’s such a gloriously immature punk-style song, we just revel in having fun with it. Your track “The Fun One” serves limitless and complex layers giving it a well-rounded and whole-rock sound. Could you share how NEIN went about their creative process for “The Fun One”? How did the four of you approach the recording process? The Fun One was from a jamming process in the early days of NEIN; we came up with it, start to finish in about 20 minutes. Some songs take longer; this one just floated down to us from the universe! We managed to capture the live energy of this song on the record in a way we are really happy with, and that comes with a big thank you to Simon Paxton who recorded and mixed the album for us, adding the sound effects to the Fun One just caps it off perfectly. Bucko also added a guitar part under the last chorus that he couldn’t play live (as he is but one man), that just sounds so glorious - he ended up playing it live anyway and leaving the other guitar bit out of that particular part - luckily the bass and drums are so fat he (and now Kal) could get away with it, no trouble. We’ve heard that NEIN’s sound is said to be Glunge, a mix of glam rock and grunge. Are there any influences that the band had, or individually, that helped NEIN’s sound develop into what it is today? That’s the beautiful thing about our band, we really couldn’t be more different in our music taste. Michael sort of formed the band with the idea of sticking a bunch of musicians from different backgrounds and tastes together in a room and seeing what comes out. The underlying theme is that we always rock, but we do really come from different spaces, even individually we pull from some really diverse influences. Dan, our drummer, worships at the feet of Blink 182 and 21 Pilots but also loves Taylor Swift. Michael is our resident metalhead and loves Kvelertak, Puscifer, Gojira, and being a bass player, he is into banging bass-heavy bands like Tool, Faith No More and Primus. Kal, our guitarist, is deriving her NEIN influences from people like Adam Jones, Johnny Marr, and Joey Santiago…mixed with a bit of David Bowie and Slipknot. And Kristie on vocals, loves Donna Summer, the Beastie Boys, the Supremes, Chastity Belt, the Front Bottoms, Sleater-Kinney and Kitten Forever. Confused? Don’t worry, it will make sense when you hear us. From NEIN’s high energy performance to your rule of continuous dancing from your audience, you’ve clearly established the band’s exhilarating atmosphere. How does NEIN keep up this constant energy, and serve different and unique tracks that speak their own meaning? Our songs have so much variety, even within each track, that we just really aren’t boring. It’s not hard to keep up the energy when you’re having a blast dancing and playing your ass off! Each member of the band has a different answer to this question, based not only on what they play but also who they are. Each song stands out for different reasons and gets its own different ball of energy thrown at it. Also - every time we play, there are new people watching us, and whether they’re dancing or just staring at us with their mouths open, those are people who get to experience NEIN for the first time, and we aren’t gonna half-arse it! What can we expect to see from you throughout 2020? Well until we are let out of our cage, it will be sanitizer and social distancing, however, we really hope to get back on-stage soon, as that’s where we do some of our best work. We are currently working on our online presence through and scheming up a video clip. We’re also halfway through writing Album #2, and are looking forward to debuting some of our new bops on-stage. So you’ll definitely be seeing us a lot more in the future. facebook.com/neinperth #BUZZMUSIC

These Indie Rock neophytes are well versed in the art of reimagining the modern music scene, and with "Gravity," they've proven themselves, specialists. The new single is their most recent release since 2019's well-accepted "Fairy Tale Scene," and though their enthusiastic approach is unchanged; it still feels like a revelation for the indie scene as a whole. "Gravity" blends a retro tone, and a powerful, expansive production into an understated yet extraordinary form of indie-rock that feels as artfully natural as a great painting. This piece is gleaming with electric guitar sweeps, and the punchy vocals of a confident frontman seamlessly blended together with a smoldering bass groove and sparkling drums. It's not unusual to be reminiscent of some of the '90s greatest hits when listening to the tonality of the instruments featured here. Daydream Runaways lyrics follow a lack of restraint and are eccentric enough to feel authentic. Their fearless vocals shudder with just enough emotion to unobtrusively devastate through the provocative message being conveyed. When Daydream Runaways confides, "don't wanna let you down again, want you to never hurt again... won't be your saving grace" it's a moment so poised and believable that you may notice a drawing of inner reflection. "Gravity" is uplifting in this manner, and full-hearted, bursting with energetic vocal performances, guitar solos, and crashing breakdowns before the final crescendo of the last chorus. They cohere around the "darkest days" motif, which functions as a reminder of the relatable seclusion that girdles the new song's conception. In this nature, this song unmistakably proves to render some relief from these challenging times. With productions privy to the likes of Muse, and industrious rhythms reminiscent of Led Zeppelin, "Gravity" is undoubtedly forecast to be on repeat in our playlists this month. Listen to "Gravity" here. facebook.com/daydreamrunaways instagram.com/daydreamrunaways twitter.com/daydreamrunawa1 #BUZZMUSIC

With an extensive following since 2013, through the successful endeavors of his brand, YDM (You Deserve Music), Danii'X has established a foothold on the current rap music scene. Now, upon its official release, "Said Too Much" suggests a reminder of what roused a new generation of kids to listen to rap music, to begin with. For these individuals, Danii'X's tenacity and his readiness to speak on their similarities in personal struggles trump any need for excessive production glitter and gentrification. This single features classic rap flow with a Danii'X twist; he deplores his psychological turbulence even while flexing. Over twinkling samples, faded vocals, and his signature vibrato, he takes his place as a pied piper for those who relate as outsiders. The rapper never shies away from the more sordid perspectives of grappling with internal demons, and these conflicts build his character as a rapper. Stylistic vocal samples like unintelligible murmurs kick-off "Said Too Much" with a delightful oscillating nature before the rappers trade bars about getting his life out in the open like an "IMAX' theatre. Here, he appears less like a drill rapper and more like a truth-speaking prophet; he commands the room with an authentic rhythm that echoes out across a focused drum progression. As his verses build on confessions of internal pressures, family, and relationships, crystalline synth hum recedes and resurfaces back and forth into the distance. The production here is furnished by a fantastic break section, which makes use of a focused 808, crispy hi-hats, and tuned vocal effects before the pieces fade out. It's that candor and self-awareness that endears Danii'X to the masses grateful for the rise of their patron saint for this year's hottest rap music. You can find "Said Too Much" here. Hey there, Danii'X! Welcome to BuzzMusic! We're overjoyed to be featuring your newest single "Said too Much"! Tell some about the writing process and how the overall concept for this song developed for you? When I started putting my project together I figured the last song should be straight bars with no hook, then I thought what am I gonna say on this song that’s gonna be impactful and make my listeners understand that I’m in a different space mentally, then the title came first and as the title came, me and my producer Wellington started working on the beat and we just created something so magical, that night I took home the beat and just sat with it on repeat and the first words that came out just triggered a chain effect of emotions. Who has had the most significant influence on your life musically thus far? Has there been any Canadian artist that has made a particular impact for you? This is the first time I’m being asking this question and it excited me because I wanted to shine some light on some of my peers who’s been a huge influence in my musical journey thus far, but to name a few starting locally, Francis hill, Ray Hmnd, Derin Falana, Raahiem, Tristan Lindo, Saugasson, Wellington, just to name a few these people have shaped the artist I’ve become and continue to become. But drake has made the biggest impact for me as an artist, just watching how he moves and how he creates records and puts his feelings out there so freely. You touch on some profound themes in your new single, how do you find the strength to open up through your music? Is it a challenge or something natural to you? When I created this song I must’ve scrapped this song about 3/4 times because I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be that open with my listeners, I wasn’t sure if I was ready to be that expose or vulnerable but I made the decision that it was time to be human. Thank you for joining us! It was astounding having you here on BuzzMusic! Do you have any plans for collaborating with other artists in the future? Where do you believe 2020 is guiding you this year? Thank you guys so much for having me it’s always a pleasure working with your guys, in terms of collaborating with another artist it is something I plan on doing but as of right now I’m just for focus on creating content for the listeners, 2020 has been a strange year so far but I’m a believer in what’s for me will always be for me and right now Music is looking good and we just getting started. instagram.com/ydmofficial twitter.com/EverythingYDM #BUZZMUSIC

Your release “No More” with Stefhon Daze seems to pull us in with its creative effects, how did you achieve that 3D sound in your vocals? Is that something you had in mind during the writing? As far as the intro goes the vocal effect was something I had in my head, while my engineer @ksoundengineering brought it to life. Its something I had in the back of my mind during the process because I like to structure my intros a certain way. The songwriting in “No More” has a very honest approach to it, was there a story or event that had inspired the writing? How did you come to the lyrics that you had performed? There was no specific event that inspired the song, it was ore of those in the moment type of feeling. Christian Dior is one of my favorite scents and I went to a Christian university where I seen some girls do some not so Christian things. So I tied the two together Both you and Jiggy gave off some incredible bars, was there ever a talk between the two of you of who would get what lines in the song?
