lleow “The person that i own” released june 07th
Starting a music career as a woman in her early 40s is brave – LLeow does it anyway and challenges everyone to question their own situation and realize what they really want. Because it’s never too late to make a change and celebrate your own individuality.
“A very special friend of mine is struggling a lot with issues of self love, feelings of not deserving to be happy and guilt if being so. now this friend has helped me a lot with my own struggles and I want to say with this song that first of all the basis for love is self love and that I – in times where the friend is not able to – will always be there to help out and provide the love needed.”

“First time listeners can expect nostalgic feelings about times when they were young, maybe knowing that there is at least one more person out there (me) that asks herself the same questions about being one’s true self and the price you are willing to pay for it. in any case: they get my complete scale of emotions, honest and authentic.”
DIVENE “BLIND LOVE” RELEASED MAY 31ST
This is DIVENE a 17-year-old UK based artist, in her own words: “I make music that has an R&B and RAP genre I love writing about deep lyrics that gets people attached and lyrics that people can relate to”.
“Blind love is my third released song, it has a fun and chill vibe but at the same time has very deep meaningful lyrics that are relatable. One of my favourite lines from the song is “in my head I create design love” which means creating your own version of a situation or a person rather than looking at the reality. Majority of the times we know when someone isn’t good for us but we pretend like we can’t see the truth and act blind until it is too late. The whole song is based around this concept and the lyrics dig deeper as you listen.”

“Writing is definitely my favourite part of music, I find it comforting turning my emotions, feelings and experiences into lyrics and sharing them with word for other people to resonate with. Hearing the emotions you feel being put into words gets you attached to a song and almost heals a part of you and that’s a feeling I want all my listeners to experience.”
LOCKDOWN “EXTRACT” RELEASED MAY 31ST
LOCKDOWN is a modern electronic project designed to take listeners on an exhilarating sonic journey, characterized by immersive textural synths, catchy melodies, and an irresistible energy that will make you want to hit repeat.

“PREPARE FOR EXTRACT! This song is all about forward momentum tumbling baselines and potent melodies create an infectious vibe of movement with purpose. Melodic build ups rolling back into the central baseline remind you that the destination is still further ahead. Turn it up, enjoy, and make some moves”
ryan wayne “ready my love” released may 23rd
“Ready My Love” is Ryan Wayne’s second single for his upcoming sophomore release. The single follows up on the critically acclaimed album, “Crow Amongst the Sparrows”, released in Sept 2023.

The song started as a collaboration with composer and bassist, Alex Needleman who sent a few files his way including a hypnotizing synth drone. At the same time, Ryan was jamming on some ’70s funk songs with his hockey team (an arts hockey league — how very Canadian), and was impressed by how much was expressed in those songs with so few chords.
He wondered how far he could take a basic two-chord folk song by layering instruments and focusing more on groove and dynamics. Lyrically, the verses attempt to explore themes of regret and escapism in a very visual way, juxtaposed with a chorus offering a simple commitment to change.
riggs road revival “homeward bound” released nov 18 2022
Riggs Road Revival brings a rhythm & roll brand of rock with more than just a touch of outlaw running through their veins. With roots originating in the Baltimore Washington area, spanning multiple rock genres and several decades, the music is fronted by lyrics that bring a blend of swagger & salty optimism. The music tells the story of where the boys have been, where they are now, and offers a glimpse of the road ahead.

“Homeward Bound is a blended aura of rock and outlaw country music underpinning the story of the traveler, taking the listener along the journey. It recounts with both music and lyrics this timeless quest that is ever relevant today and, as the song hints, will remain relevant well into the future. It is the story of finding one’s way along the path less traveled as told through all the rich diversity of sound, tempo, and history that rock music has to offer.
Originally cut and recorded as a hard rock number when the boys were back at The Riggs the tune has grown through the years. This latest rendition expresses both with music and lyrics the heart of the home and the journeys still to come.”
