Nikolai Berk – Help Me Forget

HMF Cover Art Final

Help Me Forget is a new single from Los Angeles-based artist, Nikolai Berk. This indie pop/R&B adjacent gem proves itself to be quite sophisticated musically. With its sentimentally aquatic vibes and avant garde intro, the track distinguishes itself right from the get go. The melodically rich backing music is bright and ambient, as colorful synths blend with innocent backing vocals to fill out the mix. The harmonies are very effective musically and capture the sensitivities of Help Me Forget’s underlying romantic themes.

Nikolai Berk is a solid vocalist. His singing style combines attributes of classic lounge singers and contemporary pop. At times his voice comes across as an indie, slightly more artistic variant of someone like Michael Buble’s. There’s a balanced combination of charm, sincerity and technical skill, with a little bit of R&B spice thrown in. You really can’t ask for much more in a pop song than what you get with Help Me Forget. This is that rare chart-worthy track that should have crossover appeal with both mainstream and more “experimentally minded” indie audiences.

Redd Is An Ember – Top Ten

redd

Top Ten is a new single from hip hop artist, Redd Is An Ember. This no-nonsense track is clean, swift and punchy. The synth-driven backing music is mellow and mysterious, allowing the vocals to hit with full force. In what is essentially a monologue of poetic ruminations, Redd Is An Ember’s delivery is absolutely precise, as he impressively oscillates between different speeds with ease and professionalism. His performance is powerful from start to finish. He knows when to dial up the action and when to scale it back, making the song’s climactic points all the more effective. Suffice to say that Top Ten is top-tier indie hip hop.

Wonyay – Team Captain

wonyay

Team Captain is a new single from hip hop artist, Wonyay. Backed by a light, synth-driven beat, Wonyay demonstrates a commanding vocal presence as he delivers one lyrical gem after another. Seriously, this guy’s voice is huge! He has a natural charisma as a performer. His roaringly jovial vocals blend humorous wit with genuine emotion and an action packed vibe. As the song progresses you really get a feel for how impressive the flow is and how well everything is structured. I don’t want to give anything away, but there are a number of clever lines and zingers in this jam. Team Captain is ideal for late night pool parties but could also be enjoyed on a relaxing, contemplative drive home from work or school. Admittedly, I had never heard of Wonyay before this release, but he has genuine skills as a rapper. Definitely some big time potential here.

Nahash Wizdom – I’m So Broke

I’m So Broke is a new single from Central Illinois-based hip hop artist, Nahash Wizdom, and appears on his new album, Grown Folks Muzik. As the title hints at, I’m So Broke references the financial hardship many have experienced as result of the pandemic and these rather precarious times we live in. The song is refreshingly honest and emotionally deep. It really does represent an inspiring anthem of the common person’s struggle and perseverance in difficult circumstances.

Nahash Wizdom gives a down to Earth performance that’s brimming with empathy and hits all the right marks as he calls for people to continue to take chances, roll the dice and make the most of life. Musically, the track has a nice, melodic flow. and Nahash Wizdom proves to be a capable vocalist. You really have to see the video to fully appreciate the song though. The visual narrative is well put together and successfully reinforces the song’s central themes.

Spacely – Weirdo

Attachment_1629058036

Weirdo is a new single from an up and coming artist/rapper known as Spacely, (who’s also into self-recording, mixing and mastering). The backing beat for this track is surreal and futuristic. Its artful serenity blends with a haunting intensity to create a darkly meditative atmosphere. Honestly, this is one of the more musically appealing beats I’ve heard in recent memory. Delicate instrumentals and backing vocals are interwoven in a very sophisticated way.

spacely

Spacely’s delivery is poetic and reflective as he talks about living his life as a unique person with unconventional proclivities. He has a pointed, deliberate flow and an almost mathematical sense of timing. His lyrics are pretty clever, and he demonstrates some depth as a writer, by avoiding hip hop cliches. With this song Spacely does establish himself as a “weirdo” in all the most artistically flattering ways. Weirdo is currently available on all major platforms, but you can also stream it on Spotify below.

Stephen Jacques – Left L.A.

SoulHydraulics_SingleArt_LeftLA

Released just a few days ago, Left L.A. is a new single from Stephen Jacques’s upcoming album, Soul Hydraulics. The song offers up commentary on the superficial plasticity and slickness of life in Los Angeles, which I can personally relate to as someone who once lived there. Stephen Jacques employs terms like “deals” and “mergers” to emphasize the inhuman commodification of the LA cultural experience. Musically, the song is touching and sentimental, with its delicate melodies and euphoric hooks. The songwriting is beautifully sincere, containing a fluid structure and coherent narrative. The recording is polished the old fashioned way, with a clean mix and gritty emotion, rather than surgically processed. The lamentation of Los Angeles as a superficial and heartless entertainment hub may not be a new theme, but Stephen Jacques gives a presentation that keeps it as real as ever.

Stephen Jacques – Soul Hydraulics

tumblr_1e0c9a5072e16c693d09c0ddd91ee2f0_d474dea2_1280

Soul Hydraulics is a new album from Richmond-based artist, Stephen Jacques. Scheduled for an official release date of Sept. 3rd, 2021. This alt-rock collection is rich with flavorful guitar melodies, while expressive vocals lend the songs passion and sensitivity. The audio production it top quality but still manages to leave room for the sound’s organic appeal. Tracks like Come to Me Marie have a timeless rock’n’roll feel. One could just as easily imagine Buddy Holly performing some of these gems. Jet Fighter is one of the more rocking tunes and really gets the juices flowing. This album is totally professional on every level, while retaining its artistic credibility. There’s no shortage of the human spirit on Soul Hydraulics.

Sammie Blaze – Gasoline

blaze

Gasoline is a new single from hip hop artist, Sammie Blaze. This crisp new jam has one of the most colorful and far out beats I’ve ever heard. It really has a great “super ball-like” bounce to it. For his part, Sammie Blaze has a catchy and fresh delivery style. His voice is mellow but engaging, while the backing vocals enhance the rhythmic flow of the track and give things a conversational vibe. Even though many hip hop songs incorporate weed as the subject matter, Gasoline authentically captures the atmosphere and surrealism of the experience through the music itself. This is an impressive release, with creative songwriting, quality production and an above-average performance.
