Check out this delicious new collab between BLYNE & B O K E H

June 15, 2018 by Gems Secrets

BLYNE & B O K E H recently teamed up to deliver this beautiful new collab titled 'School'. The entire atmosphere of the track has a moody R&B inspired drum section filled with wavy chords and colorful arpeggios. The vocal style is soft and delicate, providing this emotional and star-struck energy throughout the song that'll leave you wanting more. It's such a beautiful record you won't even realize you're listening to it over and over again until you're about 20 spins deep but you don't see us complaining. 

On the release of their new EP, BLYNE comment, “This project is the result of months of our hard work and constant late nights in the studio. ‘This Is Our First EP’ has a different vibe for each track and we know it’s going to be a hit”.

Love Is Pure Available Everywhere via AWAL x Blossöm Records Friday 13th July Produced by Cobeshack & Extremely Bad Man. Mastered with Evren Göknar at Capitol Records Los Angeles, Cali. Original Artwork by Russ Murphy / RuffMercy - Bristol, England. EXTREMELYBADMAN.com

Extremely Bad Man shares insane new single 'Up With The Birdies' — Listen here

June 15, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Wow... this new Extremely Bad Man is something else. From the very beginning, the mood and the soundscape of the song pulls you right in.

Take a moment to get familiar with Extremely Bad Man, a collaboration with British producer and songwriter Elliot James. Their new album which debuts later this summer via Kobalt’s AWAL imprint also features artists like, Omenihu, Lex Famous, Jeremy Michaels, and Jallal. 

Julio Tavarez II - “I wanted Extremely Bad Man to be raw. Most of the takes were one shot, scratch vocals that are not tuned or cleaned up that much. You can hear imperfections all over the record. It’s very honest.“

Elliot James - “Cobe’s beats and rhythms instantaneously struck chords in Julio and I, we began to feel like we could make what we had always wanted to hear. We started laying down melodies and chopping things up into different keys and chords, it was all super fluid. All the collaborations happened naturally, we tried desperately not to force anything in the process as much as possible, and I think the final album reflects that honestly."

By now, you're already halfway through the song and you're getting the first glimpse of the incredible and raw energy of EBM. It's a really exciting project and we can't wait to hear the full album later this summer. If you're a fan of hip-hop with forward-thinking production, EBM's 'Up With The Birdies' is just for you. Enjoy

[G&S PREMIERE] KING unleashes catchy dancehall inspired pop tune 'Mango'

June 15, 2018 by Gems Secrets

KING is no stranger to writing catchy pop hits inspired by her heritage in Cuba. Her previous singles have ranged from dark, sultry R&B-inflected cuts to out-and-out pop bangers. With her laser focus vision, KING shares her latest, 'Mango' and once again proves, she's headed straight to the top.

“In Cuba, a hot guy is often called a ‘mango’. I’ve been wanting to make a record that celebrates my Cuban heritage for a while now, so when I hooked up with one of my writers and he played me this melody, the line “tu eres mi mango” just came into my head and the song wrote itself from there. I had to fight hard to get this record made, and I can’t wait to share it with you.” KING

KING's energy is phenomenal and we're so excited about her music that's coming out this year. If you're looking for something catchy, fun, and empowering, check out KING's 'Mango'.

garren lake drops melodic R&B single 'clout'

June 12, 2018 by Gems Secrets

garren lake dropped a new single last month and if you haven't heard it yet, you definitely should. garren lake's ability to write infectiously catchy hooks is only ONE of the artists known super powers. The actor / rapper combines moody songwriting over melodic hip-hop beats and it goes without saying that the young artist has a burning talent that's ready to take over the game. 

I mean to be honest... if blackbear and Drake were to collab on a song, we imagine it would sound a lot like this. Seriously, don't sleep on this kid, you've been warned.

Get your funk on with this new Euføeni track 'All I Have For You'

June 12, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Vaughn Russillo aka Euføeni (pronounced eu-pho-ny, meaning sounds that are appealing to the ears) is a full-time producer-nerd/retro video game lover from the island, Martha’s Vineyard, in Massachusetts. After 12 years of producing music, his songs now consist mostly of his own original sound/synth design.

Euføeni showed off his production skills with his latest release 'All I Have For You' recently and it's absolutely brilliant. We always get excited when an artist sends us a good dance tune and Euføeni really brought the funk with this one. Whether you're looking for something to kick back and vibe to or even something just to get your dance on—the bouncy production and catchy guitar riffs will satisfy all of the above.

Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. If you dig the track, check out some of Euføeni's other material and keep the party going! Enjoy!

VAVO drops powerful electronic-pop single 'Sleeping Alone'

June 11, 2018 by Gems Secrets

There's an increasing number of electronic-pop singles coming out in time for Spring/Summer and we're all about it. We got sent this VAVO track from a couple months back that we just absolutely love. The electronic producer brings a future like element to giant pop-friendly vocals that strays more in the realm of dance music while holding intact a mainstream appeal. It's incredibly well-produced and it comes to no surprise at VAVO's production knowledge. Either way, if you love the song, share it with your friends and don't forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any future releases—enjoy!

Wow... you need to listen to this neutral. & Pauline Herr collab 'How It Goes'

June 11, 2018 by Gems Secrets

neutral. has become a close favorite of the blog over the last year and for good reason. The electronic producer has proved over and over again to be a super force with delivering catchy original remixes for artists such as The Chainsmokers, Alan Walker, and San Holo, etc... 

And before the weekend, the talented artist shared his new original featuring vocalist Pauline Herr and it left us speechless. The vocals will send chills up and down your spine and if that doesn't blow your socks off, neutral.'s production style definitely will. The entire track from start to finish is an euphoric and fragmented reality created by neutral.'s electrifying and polished sound design.

Go ahead and spread the word by sharing it with your friends who have good music taste and don't forget to connect with the artists online to stay up to date on any future releases and enjoy!

Listen to this new single from Tia Gostelow & LANKS—'Strangers'

June 11, 2018 by Gems Secrets

As much as we hate to admit it, we suck really bad at catching these indie gems like Tia Gostelow's and LANKS, 'Strangers'. But when one does catch our attention, we fall in love. Usually it's because we fall in love with the vocal style or sometimes it's just the instrumentation.. but in this case, it's both. 'Strangers' is an incredible piece with some of the catchiest songwriting we've heard in awhile. We love Tia's voice and the contrast between LANKS sounded incredible. We can only hope at this point that the two will collab again in the future. Either way we love the new single and we hope you do too!

Stream / Download: http://enhanced.lnk.to/Enhanced348 Since his introduction on the label alongside Tritonal & Emma Gatsby with 'Hung Up', Sj's Enhanced repertoire has continued to flourish. Releasing vocal gems that tow the line between infectious crossover hits & driving club anthems, Sj's first extended play is finally here with the 'Calabasas EP'. Opening with the dazzling new single 'If We Could Stay High', Sj's prowess as an incredibly talented songwriter shines - slow builds, crisp percussion & soothing melodies surround engrossing juxtapositioned vocals from the talented Chelsea Lankes to kick off Sj's first EP on Enhanced with an exceptional display from the young American. Also included are both hit singles alongside mentors Tritonal - from the storming success of 'Hung Up', both one of Tritonal & Sj's best performing singles ever, to the subtly sweet overtones of title track 'Calabasas', Sj's connection with label-heads Tritonal proves its natural home on Enhanced. Completing the EP, Sj's other recent productions feature. From the House energy of the Zookëper & Emmalyn collaboration 'Void' to 'Reflection' & 'Flicker' - Sj's opening EP on Enhanced delivers a truly unique experience of one of the scene's most highly praised up-and-comers.

We love this Sj & Chelsea Lankes collab—'If We Could Stay High'

June 11, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Summer is upon us and there's an exciting energy in the year. It's that time of the year where our friends are finishing up school, people are taking vacations, and making memories etc..

We take on the responsibility here at Gems & Secrets to ensure that YOU have all of the best music available to you, right in your pocket—no matter what situation you find yourself in. Lucky for you, we have this incredible new single from Sj & Chelsea Lankes, 'If We Could Stay High'.

It's a slower jam—there's a graceful flow in the production which sort of creates this relaxing atmosphere that's easy to feel comfortable in. Not to mention, Chelsea's vocal performance will give you goosebumps and we encourage you to really dive deep into the lyrics and the meaning behind them. This is without a doubt one of Chelsea's strengths as an artist. 

Either way, we're confident you'll love the track just as much as we do so don't forget to connect with the artists online and enjoy!

All of which describe the unique and edginess that Madge is currently pioneering with her production and it's flat-out awesome. Madge is a total badass and her bold new direction is inspiring. It's always exciting to see artists like Madge come into the light and we can't wait to see what's around the corner for the future pop star.
