WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song is about cycles, namely the cycles we go through as human beings, and how we tolerate them and work around them. From my perspective, it's about stepping outside of your own cycles and re-evaluating why you're where you are, and if you're really okay with your proposed trajectory. Lines like "thinkin’ bout sleeping on the couch while they're off in their own minds" is a concrete example, that, although somewhat literal, personally evokes some sort of mental removal from everyday scenes. It ties in a lot to mental health and connectivity to exterior unknowns” — Zanski

One of our favorite songwriters just released a new song, go stream Olive B's 'Playmate' now

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: ‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Olive B landed on our radar with her collaborations with house producer Bobby Love. So naturally, when we found out she released her own single, we were pretty excited to check it out… and upon hearing it, we were blown away.

Olive possesses a very passionate and metaphorical writing style (which was what initially grabbed our attention with her past material). Her lyrics are a work of art and cut deep into the soul and reveal what makes each of us human. It’s honest and reflective and there’s something special about the energy she reveals throughout her music that one simply can’t ignore.

Her voice is soft and angel-like as it dances around the instrumental and you can’t help but get lost in a daydream whenever she starts to sing. So kick back, close your eyes, and enjoy this for what it is. Simply amazing.

Olive’s EP is scheduled to be released May 29th so don’t forget to connect with her online to be the first to check it out. Enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

The song was inspired by a relationship I was in, where I felt fully committed to this person, and eventually, it became one-sided. He didn’t seem to care about me, but he put more effort in when I acted the way I thought he wanted me to. The song is split between a vulnerable submissive side and one where I felt powerful and comfortable with being myself. At first, writing this track was emotional, but the more I started writing the more empowered I felt. — Olive B

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song is about the aftermath of sleeping with someone for the first time. It stems from feelings of insecurity. Written from my perspective, awake, whilst the guy is asleep on the other side of the bed, our backs to each other, with space between us. The space between us being the opposite of the closeness the night before, which makes me overwhelmed of thoughts of what he thinks of me now.” — Y.A.S

Chloe Tang releases jaw-dropping music video for new single 'Hype', watch it here!

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Chloe Tang is the latest and greatest to grace the Gems & Secrets platform. Her new single ‘Hype’, is an r&b infused pop track with just a splash of attitude. Not only does her writing style demand your attention but everything from the video to the instrumental production came out great. Chloe’s creative vision and her voice are a real treat and we witness something truly unique about the up-and-coming artist. That her sound can be both creative and easy to digest. I think it’s safe to say that you can consider us a fan.

Go ahead and give this a spin and don’t forget to connect with Chloe online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"At first glance, ‘Hype’ is a self explanatory track about calling someone out on their bullshit, basically saying ‘You’ve got a huge ego and that kind of attitude can be dangerous’. However, on a deeper level, it can be an empowering song for anyone who is torn down/intimidated by people who act like they’re better than you. The idea behind the song was to give people the courage to say, ‘fuck it, I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life. You’re not worth the hype’.” — Chloe Tang

Stream RVRB's new single 'Bad At Love'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We have some really exciting releases that came out over the weekend and to kick things off we wanted to share with you this new single from the multi-talented RVRB. Titled ‘Bad At Love’, we were immediately drawn in by the artist’s vocal style. Not only is it catchy but the lyrics point at a deeper reflection that we found inspiring and honest.

The instrumental blends the likes of R&B with indie-electronic elements to keep the song interesting. A sound that very few artist’s can pull off and we think you’ll agree. Go ahead and give it a spin and you’ll be singing and humming along in no time. Don’t forget to connect with RVRB online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘Bad At Love’ is a very personal thing that we all can relate to. When something special ends, there’s always a moment of reflection where you ask yourself what went wrong. It’s easy to point the finger and blame it on anything other than yourself, but at the end of the day it has to come back to you. It’s self deprecating in a way, but to me there’s so much hope in this song. You have to be honest with yourself and be able to say listen, I know I’m not easy to love all the time, but I promise I’m trying…

…At the end of the day isn’t honesty all we really ask for?” — RVRB
