Introducing the incredible Julia Knight, listen to their new single 'Cool For You' here

November 21, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Indie, Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Our latest obsession comes from singer/songwriter, Julia Knight. With their new single ‘Cool For You’, we get a small taste of Julia’s incredible talent and lyrical skill. Fresh off their debut via Taste and Tone under Atlantic Records, Julia is already one of our favorite artists of 2018.

Why? Well, when it comes to originality, Julia Knight is a breath of fresh air. Her performance and writing skills come from a genuine place and that’s extremely rare to find in an ocean of mediocrity. This should not be taken lightly. Just you wait and see.

In closing, we can’t wait to hear more from the artist in the coming months, but until then, we’ll be keeping ‘Cool For You’ on constant repeat. Don’t forget to subscribe to Julia Knight online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘cool for you’ is about a super brief relationship that looking back on, I had no business being in really. I met someone in the summer and thought everything was working out, only for it to end abruptly a short couple months later. It’s about trying to be so cool and casual as a way to protect yourself. I hated that.” — Julia Knight

Have you seen Kaien Cruz's music video for 'Dangerous' yet? Watch it here!

November 16, 2018 by Gems Secrets in R&B, Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

The incredible Kaien Cruz graced our platform with her new song ‘Dangerous’ and we’ve been obsessed, ever since. When Cruz’s team reached out to share the accompanying music video, we knew we had to share it with our readers.

“I wrote ‘Dangerous’ during a very frustrating time in my life. I’d just realized that a lot of people in this industry that I thought had my back, actually didn’t. So this song is about those people and other things in my life that I thought were good for me, but were only holding me back.” - KAIEN CRUZ

Whether you’re blown away by Kaien Cruz’s voice or the artist’s beautiful and well-written vocal style… the music video will surely seal the deal. A cinematic masterpiece that delicately re-writes the tone and ambiance of the song in a way that elevates the song’s overall magic. We love what Cruz is doing and we look forward to covering more from the artist in the coming months.

RUUMER "Gimme Some" feat. Sammy Adams Official Music Video Directed by: MK Schneider Produced by: Bonobo Studios Song NOW AVAILABLE on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/album/1Oe92efLPX1MeS7mtqwMrc & SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/ruumer/gimme-some Executive Producer: JEM Entertainment, LLC. © JEM Entertainment, LLC. - 2018 Contact: Rich@L2Entertainment.com

Watch out, pop duo RUUMER, deliver a jaw-dropping visual for their new song 'Gimme Some' (feat. Sammy Adams)

November 14, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Pop, Indie Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Music became an outlet for these two sisters after breaking free from the chains of Catholic school and the confines of suburban life. Today, Melis and Jess decided it was time to trash their school uniforms and trade them in for fashionable streetwear. Together, they want you to join their girl gang revolution and we couldn’t be anymore excited about it.

We believe that whether or not you enjoy pop music, RUUMER brings a sound that’s undeniably catchy and great for anyone. Their vocal style is not only powerful and moving but their personalities are as charismatic and as fun as one could hope for—making music fun and innocent all while tackling important topics and misconstrued social norms.

We love the message and purpose behind RUUMER and we can’t wait to hear what the two ladies have in stored next. Enjoy!

ABOUT THE SONG + VIDEO:

“We teamed up with rapper Sammy Adams for our new single “Gimme Some”. It’s a vibey, anthemic jam that’s all about empowering women’s sexuality. Inspired by our Catholic school upbringing, it is essentially a satire on the sexually oppressing environment of our youth….”

“….We worked with a killer female director, MK Schneider. There are competing visuals of women being traditionally feminine and the new age confidence in being who you are no matter how you look, no matter what you like. It embraces all angles of the modern woman and shatters the stereotypes that they are given.”

Listen to Restless Modern's brand new single, 'Things for the Future'

November 12, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Restless Modern, aka Jack Kieffer, released a brand new single that we’re really excited about. Titled, ‘Things for the Future’, RM takes on a unique soundscape with some of his best vocal work yet. ‘Things for the Future’ is a more lighthearted song about dreaming for what’s yet to come.

Like most of his work, the new song was produced, written, performed, mixed, and mastered by Restless Modern himself.

So where did all of this start? Well, while Restless Modern made his debut with production work on ‘Navigator’—a pop single that has been streamed over 10 million times—the young artist didn’t put out his first self-produced, self-written, and self-performed work until late that year. ‘I’m Okay’ was the first single off of his ‘To Come Undone EP’, a dark and introspective body of work that has accumulated over 1.8M streams since its independent release in early 2018.

Fast forward to today, things are really picking up for the artist and there’s so much to look forward to still. So, if you’re looking for something fresh and exciting, you’ve come to the right place.

Don’t forget to subscribe to Restless Modern online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT RESTLESS MODERN HAS TO SAY:

“Every single day is about improvement and differentiation. I listen to and study the art that I love, but my job is to create something that no other artist can create. Something that is unique to my perspective and my abilities - so that’s what I’m shooting for.” - RM

LYRICS:

“[verse 1]
Make it home ‘fore it
Starts to rain
On my bed
You said
These things
I meant

Wiggle out 
Of our
Summer dreams
We could paint a wall
For you and me

[Chorus]
Baby, we breathe
Something extra in our air
Giving color to our hair and both our eyes
Our eyes

And i say
Baby, to me
There is nothing to despair
Although times are getting harder
I am sure we’re getting there
Slowly

[verse 2]
On a day where we got
Nowhere to go
We can stay inside
Play games
Get high

Hear the rain on our
Windowed door
Hope you’ll stay a while
We’ll add one more

[Chorus]
Baby, we breathe
Something extra in our air
Giving color to our hair and both our eyes
Our eyes

And i say
Baby, to me
There is nothing to despair
Although times are getting harder
I am sure we’re getting there
Slowly”

Spotify: http://open.spotify.com/track/0frS4QeqZpJFzYjljy5ex1 Free download on Soundcloud October 12th will see the latest single from the multi-faceted Ruben Pol get a release. Co-produced by the UK’s Tom Martin (who counts David Guetta, Stargate and Tiesto as previous collaborators), ‘Meet Again’ is a softly undulating electronic cut that comes straight from the heart. The 21-year-old Dutch model and musician is following up his debut release ‘Bed Sheets,’ which has almost a quarter of a million streams and counting and landed at Number 4 in the Apple Music Electronic Chart. Having walked a spread of high-profile campaigns since 2015 as an international artist, for the likes of Versace, Dior, Gucci & Burberry, L’Officiel Magazine chose Ruben Pol as one of their ‘Hommes To Watch’ in both his careers. ‘Meet Again’ moves with meaningful flow; Pol’s brooding tones ripple over the surface of smooth chord transitions and a lightly sweeping electronic beat. The young talent says of this single: "’Meet Again’ is about a broken relationship and it reflects on the enormous value it still has to me. Although days turned dark and tears have been dropped, I’m sure in the end, somehow ‘we’ll meet again’.’’

We love this new release from Ruben Pol

October 21, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Pop, EDM, Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Ruben Pol, the 21 year old model and musician makes their big return after their debut release, ‘Bed Sheets’, which went to gather tens of millions of streams via Apple Music and Spotify.

Ruben’s vocal style is infectiously catchy and relatable and if you’re looking for something to brighten up your day, you’ve come to the right place.
