A Journey Through Time, Places, and Memories - Maluridé's Debut Album "Under the Same Sky"
'Alternative music, infused with subtle Nordic influences and classical undertones' is one way to describe the style of the Hungarian music group, Maluridé.

After releasing their first music video, 'Shadows' https://youtu.be/3sTzzfMEHjY?si=mGTzAcRUsWmWGxZ4  this May, the three member group decided to publish their debut album.

'The concept behind this album was to create a journey through our songs, as our memories go from the very end of the sky to the depth of the ocean. I strongly believe that one of the most important things in life is to collect memories. Memories of love and kindness, memories of the connections we made with people, and with nature. The simplest things really, but in the end, I think this is all we have. These are the strongest inspirations of our songs, and we are the happiest if we can awaken these feelings in our audience ' - singer, songwriter of the group expresses her thoughts on the album.

The members of Maluridé all graduated from the Liszt Ferenc University of Music,  their classical music past is echoed in the structure of their songs. Colorful vocals, an a capella intro, electronic music sound in which vocals and lyrics are still in the center.

The album is a unique collection of feelings, and a reminder that with so many differences between people, you can still find comfort in the thought: we all exist Under The Same Sky.

About Dina Ayada
Hailing from Belgium with fluency in 5 languages, 19-year-old Moroccan artist Dina Ayada creates music inspired by a deep appreciation for American hip-hop but informed by a global vision, earning co-signs from Kanye West, Playboi Carti, Ty Dolla $ign, Swae Lee, Chase B, French Montana, Saweetie, Jeleel!, SkiMask the Slump God, Giselle from Aespa and more. The former law student has been enthralled with music for as long as she can remember. As a toddler, she began singing along to her father’s selection of Arabic songs in the car, and trips to the toy store with her grandparents always seemed to end with another addition to her ever-growing collection of toy instruments. At 16, Dina recorded her first song with her brother, who’d recently picked up producing as a hobby. Though they started recording “just for fun,” their song soon made its way onto Belgian radio. After meeting her executive producer Chuki Beats and right-hand man Dro at a radio station, Dina decided to take her music to the next level, working day and night to develop her own personal sound. At the end of 2022, Dina began experimenting with TikTok and almost immediately went viral with a snippet of an impromptu studio freestyle, which quickly evolved into her independently released breakout single “Miles Away”(1.9M streams). This success encouraged her to drop out of law school, head out to Los Angeles and commit to music full-time. Dina soon followed with “Popular” (1.7M streams) in March 2023 and “Games” (2.1M streams) in April 2023, effortlessly proving that she’s far more than a viral moment. After landing a record deal, Dina is now gearing up for her first EP, through which she sets out to properly introduce herself and continue displaying what she’s all about: spreading positivity, inspiring confidence in others, and making music that you can have fun to.

Sony music news – Gavin James releases video for new single ‘White noise’
The official music video for ‚White Noise‘, the latest single from Gavin James, is out now!

Irish Singer Songwriter, Gavin James has signed to Sony Music Worldwide and released his latest single release, ‘White Noise’

Gavin James - White Noise - YouTube

Few singer-songwriters are so able to capture the stuff of our intimate lives - love, heartache, loss, joy - like Gavin James. Honing his performing and songwriting gifts as a busker and pub performer in Dublin, since being championed by the likes of Ed Sheeran and the release of his early records (including debut studio album, 2016’s Bitter Pill) James has built a community of fans that have seen his music streamed three billion times across the globe, and earn diamond and platinum records in multiple countries. He has also sold more than 250 000 tickets (and counting) worldwide with a live show that is as transporting as it is uplifting. In Fall 2023, James returns with a new single, “White Noise” that sees him expanding his creativity (his vocal is in a deeper signature, adding a magnetic resonance to the lyrics) and is a precursor to a new album of original material that he’s recording in a studio on a mountain outside his home city of Dublin.

Gavin describes White noise as about being infatuated with someone so much that you forget about the world around you. “I’ve written so many broken hearted type love songs so I thought it was time to write one about being completely bowled over by someone. The song has this playful kind of Cupid feel to it. I guess it’s a representation of how I feel right now in my own relationship. Anyways there will still be some sad / broken hearted love songs on the record but this one is about celebrating it”.

Even voorstellen - Haze – single ‘Hiding’, album ‘Out of sight’
HAZE Indie rock - For listeners of Broadcast, Portishead

SINGLE RELEASE: Hiding – vrijdag 10 november 2023
ALBUM RELEASE: Out of Sight – vrijdag 19 januari 2024
Haze - Hiding - YouTube
In 2021 stapte Mirabelle van de Put (bass & backing vocals bij Nightwitches, Barbie Bangkok, Buffoon) uit haar comfortzone om zich te wagen op onbekend terrein; het nastreven van een soloproject. HAZE werd haar nieuwe muzikale onderneming. Ondanks de uitdagingen van een pandemie en volledige lock-down, werd het titelloze debuut warm onthaald.

Op haar tweede album, “Out of Sight”, verlegt Mirabelle haar focus naar het experimenteren met geluid en samples. Nieuwsgierig naar wat net buiten haar bereik ligt. Alledaagse geluiden worden vervormd en in de muziek verweven, waarbij steriele en rechthoekige geluiden vermeden worden ten gunste van organische, enigszins dissonante geluiden.
Om haar visie tot leven te brengen, werkte Mirabelle samen met muzikant en soundwizard Stijn Vanmarsenille (Waldorf, Drums Are For Parades, Elefant) en met de muzikant en geluidstechnicus/producer Frederik Segers, bekend van zijn bijdragen aan Intergalactic Lovers, Hooverphonic en als muzikant bij Stadt, Sioen.
Jakob Nachtergaele (Absynthe Minded, Mauger) nam de drums voor zijn rekening. Miguel Moors (Blackup, Harvesters) en Tom Goethals (Barbie Bangkok, Sioen) speelde elk een fraaie gitaar partij op het album.
Het resultaat van deze samenwerking is een collage van klanken en sferen die imperfecties omarmt en het onverwachte accentueert, terwijl ze trouw blijft aan de essentie van elk nummer.
De eerste single “Hiding” komt 10 november 2023 uit met bijhorende video van Naomi Kerkhove.

Sony music news - The Kid Laroi announces new album ‘The first time coming’
THE KID LAROI ANNOUNCES HIS NEW ALBUM THE FIRST TIME COMING NOVEMBER 10TH, 2023 INCLUDING THE SINGLE TOO MUCH WITH JUNG KOOK & CENTRAL CEE

The Kid LAROI returns with new album THE FIRST TIME on November 10th.
After a series of internet-breaking teasers, The Kid LAROI already unveiled lead single and music video “TOO MUCH” with Jung Kook & Central Cee. “TOO MUCH” intertwines three styles, countries, and cultures with The Kid LAROI, Jung Kook out of South Korea, and Central Cee repping the UK. The track’s head-nodding bounce and glowing keys accent the back-and-forth between this trio. The momentum culminates on an instantly catchy chorus, “If we had the chance and the time to spend, would you do it again? Would you do it again? Was it too much?” Directed by Ramez Silyan, the visual depicts the three on various covers of “TOO MUCH” magazine. Between highly stylized performance vignettes complete with elite choreography, the clip ponders love under the microscope of fame and celebrity obsession. Sharpened by a provocative edge and unshakable melody, it introduces The Kid LAROI’s next season with a bang.
The album also includes the just-released "What Just Happened". Fans have been awaiting news of "What Just Happened" since The Kid LAROI previewed the track on his sold out 2022 headlining tour. The official video - directed by Ramez Silyan - in theme with the forthcoming album THE FIRST TIME follows LAROI and friends on a psychedelic journey. The track is just a taste of his upcoming debut, and shows The Kid LAROI's immutable range as an artist and performer.

Even voorstellen - "Sirens", de bloedmooie debuutsingle van Little Seeker

Little Seeker - Sirens
Little Seeker is een indiefolkband opgericht in 2023 door Eliseo Renteria, een singer-songwriter uit Santiago del Estero, Argentinië. Hun muziek combineert traditionele ritmes en instrumentatie uit Renteria's geboorteplaats met een hedendaagse feel. Een pure stem, betoverende harmonieën en teksten geïnspireerd door het boek “The Power is Now” van de Duitse auteur Eckhart Tolle, een autoriteit op het vlak van spiritualiteit, - Oprah Winfrey is fan ! -  creëren een unieke en meeslepende ervaring.
Renteria woont sinds 2015 in Antwerpen en is voormalig leerling van de befaamde componist Wim Henderickx die in 2022 overleed. Little Seeker combineert folk, rock en experimentele genres om persoonlijke transformatie te inspireren.
Hun EP, ‘Sirens’ die begin 2024 zal verschijnen bevat 4 songs met prachtige en beklijvende melodieën die blijven hangen lang nadat de laatste noot is verdwenen. De teksten, geschreven in een mix van Engels en Spaans, verkennen de universele thema's liefde, angst en zelfontdekking met veel diepgang en gevoel. Kortom een indrukwekkend visitekaartje van deze veelbelovende band.
