Check out So Mysterious by Noshows. The track fuses all genres together hip hop, pop, funk, jazz, alt-rock realms, and still makes perfect sense. NYC based Noshows started out as a solo act and morphed into full band quickly gaining their footing in venues like Bowery Electric, Arlene’s Grocery, NY’s Pleasantville Music Festival.

“So Mysterious” is about randomly running into someone who feels like the one that got away after just one conversation, mostly because of their mysterious vibes. This idea of the unknown may be what’s alluring you but you’re blinded by your infatuation with this person and end up filling in the blanks because you’ll likely never see them again. That’s sort of the experience I was trying to communicate with this song, somewhat foolishly falling in love with just the idea of somebody.

Check out ‘No Lover’ from Jewelia. The London-based singer-songwriter and producer made her debut in 2020 with support from BBC Radio Kent. “No Lover” is a catchy summery single in the vein of Dua Lipa and Griff, and was self-produced and mixed by Niko Battistini (Charli XCX, MARINA, Calum Scott),

Her self-released music garnered over 1.2 million views on her YouTube channel and her Spotify booming to 15,000 monthly listeners over the last few months. Her recent single, ‘Was It You or Was It Me’ received airplay from BBC Introducing, BBC Upload and over 20 other regional UK radio stations, with placements in the Chill Pop Hits and New Music Friday Romania Spotify editorial playlists, and the Rising Pop official playlist on Tidal

“I had a lot of fun producing this track,” Jewelia says. “I’ve been making pop music for a few years now, and I feel that I have finally embraced the pop sound, while still staying true to myself. I used to be embarrassed about making pop music – not anymore! If anything, I’ve realised that commercial pop is extremely difficult to get right, in terms of production and mix. It’s a learning process.”

I want EMO to reappear again, after listening to Toxic Love by Story Untold. The band brings back the best elements of emo which is social alienation, sensitivity, misanthropy, introversion and angst. Story Untold just opened for The Offspring, and they’ll be featured on ‘Sounds of the Underground’ TV show this Fall (CBS, Amazon Prime). The band has over 250,000k Spotify listeners and landed on several Spotify editorial punk playlists. In 2016, the band signed to Hopeless Records, released a self-titled EP and toured with Simple Plan and Hit the Lights. Story Untold is one the few punk bands that are making music worth listening to, I would’ve liked to them on billed on the upcoming festival When We Were Young in Vegas.

Yoshi Flower releases the cover Good News by Mac Miller, the second track off the EP of covers Titled Ode.

Yoshi says, “Mac’s passing was the last straw. I remember the day I found out- I was making music with friends. We were devastated. In that moment the myth of the “Rock ‘n Roll Lifestyle” died, in my eyes.”

The EP is a collection of songs from artists that have passed on. Yoshi took his time, he gave a classic rendition of each song, turning the impossible into the possible. It could be the best tribute EP out now.

“and forever on I will pay respect these artists, and all of the amazing contributors to our respective worlds, the ones who burned too bright too fast. The ones that got away before the conversation of recovery could take hold”

Big tech found a way to get the biggest bang for the buck. It’s to pay publishers and record labels lump-sum licensing advances (or so-called ‘buy-out’ deals) rather than sharing a proportion of revenue for every listen/use of music on their platforms.

After years of scrutiny, Facebook abandoned the ancient lump sum practice and accepted the ‘revenue-share’ model for user-generated video content. Video creators that use licensed music in videos over 60 seconds long on Facebook will receive a 20% share of any advertising revenue. The 80% will be split between music rights holders and Meta. Influencers with sizable followings will benefit and reap some rewards.
