Forget You, an album by Melanie Wehbe on Spotify

Melanie Wehbe shares catchy new electro-pop single 'Forget You'

June 23, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Melanie Wehbe landed on our radar recently and we're thrilled that she did. The electro-pop artist shared their new song 'Forget You' with us and upon hearing it for the first time, we just knew we had to get it up on the site—ASAP. I mean cmon, who doesn't love the vocal style here? Melanie's vocal work is not only catchy and relatable, but it's fresh and intriguing. Take that and then focus your time on the production of the track, the two work extremely well. We found that the track not only possessed qualities of deep and emotional lyricism but it still had a fun and innocent upbeat energy. 

The song is about the pain and frustration of not being able to let go of the one you love that has chosen a different path in life. And there you are stuck with the love, the memories and the scent that lingers in every cell in one’s body…it’s not like I can snap my fingers and forget you.” - Melanie

'Forget You' is such a fun and relatable song that Melanie's energy left us feeling eager for more. So if you enjoyed the song as much as we did, go ahead add it to your music playlists and don't forget to connect with Melanie online so you never miss an update. Enjoy!

Listen to Tearing Us Apart on Spotify - http://bit.ly/tearingus Share this video and the blessed green space Buddha will give you good luck forever :D Created by The Rookery, the video features a hand drawn fully animated and abstract solar system, in which the protagonist flies through space searching for a sense of hope and belonging.

Check out Too Many T's music video for 'Tearing Us Apart'

June 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets

"A raw and pained love song inspired by breakups; focussing on the feeling of desperation a partner feels when trying to cling on to the last remaining glimmer of hope within a relationship."—the perfect description of Too Many T's latest single 'Tearing Us Apart'. The moody lyricism and melodic production is a nice switch up from the group's norm and I think it's safe to say we love to see this side of them.

The video, created by Salthouse Studios, portrays the story of a protagonist flying through the solar system in search of something. We've always been a fan of the visual direction the group has gone with in the past. We felt like this one, in particular, did an incredible job of complimenting the story and overall mood of the track. 

Check it out for yourself and share it with your friends. Don't forget to connect with the group online to stay up to date on any future releases or updates. Enjoy!

We love this new track from Noah Slee x Delusion 'Maybe'

June 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Noah Slee & Delusion teamed up to deliver this super catchy new tune 'Maybe' earlier this month and we just got around to checking it out for ourselves. We love the production on the track. The future R&B meets electronic inspired soundscape gives the track this raw attitude that's both fun and enjoyable.

The vocal production is probably our favorite part though.... we love the energy the artist brings to the track as he dances around the beat and invites anyone whos willing to dance and sing along.

''Maybe' plays with the energy you get when you meet someone and there's an instant connection. As long as I have been single (a while now) every encounter feels more distant and lost. When I met this guy it was different. Maybe is about the grey zone, the uncertainty, the leap your waiting for the other person to take because you don't want to. All these things you take into consideration in such a small amount of time about someone and maybe disguise it with other things to protect yourself from taking a relationship to the next step. Simplicity of something like love can be pretty complicated. Maybe is about pursuit of connection.

Working with Delusion felt natural. He is attentive and has a chilled energy. Sharing ideas back and forth was easy. Although it was a compact few days in the studio we made sure to have fun, drink wine and make the best music we could. He was on production duties and we also had some friends participate with minor details (guitar, lyric)." -

We wrote WISW in our bedroom, where we write most of our music. The lyrics give off the vibe that song is about a girl or a relationship, but it's really meant to be self-reflective. We wrote the track to reflect the internal struggle of comfort vs. putting yourself out there. I actually started writing the lyrics while I was walking home from a party that I left early. Instrumentally, the idea was to create a glitch, minimal, boundary-pushing performance along the lines of Marian Hill or Louis the Child to go along with Elliot's pop/punk/blues-infused vocal performance. After months of listening back, the core instrumentation was never gutted, but details were replaced and added on a week by week basis until every beat was filled with the right concoction of sounds. - Chec Download / Stream: http://bonfirerecs.co/chec-wear-it-so-well Follow Chec: @chectheband https://twitter.com/chectheband https://www.instagram.com/chectheband/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4SAXct6ku4LIJH7kM8ybjP

This GRAVEDGR music video is insane.... 🔥👀

June 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets

The masked phenomenon known as GRAVEDGR released an insane music video for their popular bass-heavy anthem 'Rampage'. The party anthem has become a festival favorite among artists and fans and that's because of the energetic and face-melting production. For anyone looking to turn things up this weekend, be sure to add GRAVEDGR's  'Rampage' to your playlist.

The music video is incredibly well-done and does a great job portraying the dark and chaotic soundscape of the track. In its own way, the music video creates its own horror/thriller ready film and you wouldn't even know the difference between the two.

"...we're running from the same damn thing..."

Listen to new Overjoy—'Same'

June 20, 2018 by Gems Secrets

This new Overjoy record hits the sweet spot for us... Not only is the production exciting but its incredibly unique. The entire soundscape and atmosphere of the track carries over into a luscious palette of sounds and diverse instrumentation. The warm production and catchy vocal work are some of the best work we've heard in a long time and it's easily one of our favorite songs we've covered this month. 

“We evolved a lot from Another EP, with “Same” we feel we’ve all gotten just a little bit better at our craft, we are more comfortable and confident. We also learned to compete less and let to let our partners shine when it’s their turn too.. this isn’t always an easy thing to do in bands but we are working at it.. The truth is for us to win nobody else has to lose.. we want to see more artists just going for it and not let society hinder their creativity any longer.. more art and more love in the world is what we all need... we support all artist to keep doing their thing and know u can always get better" - Metty

The production has a hazy vibe to it but without a doubt, it sparks moments of euphoria and excitement throughout the duration of the song. It's probably best that we avoid using labels or genres when describing the track because it's unique and that's what makes the song so special in the first place.

“The song same is 5 minutes and 49 seconds summation of my field notes throughout my walk-about in this lifetime. We all are searching, trying to find our identities, and figure out where they fit into the grand scheme of things. To each of us, this task seems especially personalized and unlike anyone else’s plight. We are trying to translate some peace of mind to our listeners- telling them we all go through the same damn thing.” - Lex

We're pretty confident in the production and we're excited to hear your thoughts on it. The 3-piece group is based out of Los Angeles and made their debut back in 2015. Since then, the group has rapidly grown in popularity, selling out their most recent show in Hollywood.

“We wanted a track that delivers for the dance-floor while bringing a message we can all relate to. Everybody's running from something, but by facing the thing we don't want to look at, we find that there was no problem to begin with.” - Hoff

We're really excited about the song and we hope you love it just as much as we do. Don't forget to connect with the group online to stay up to date on any future releases or updates and enjoy.

ayokay shares catchy new single 'Swing Swing'

June 20, 2018 by Gems Secrets

ayokay released the first single off his upcoming project and it's incredible. 'Swing Swing' is hands down some of ayokay's best work. Making his big debut into the electronic scene just over a year ago with 'Kings Of Summer' alongside vocalist Quinn XCII now has over 75 million streams on Spotify to date.

“Swing Swing is the most personal song I’ve ever made. It was written, produced, and performed by me in its entirety. I have always been very inspired by indie bands, and wanted to bring some of those influences, including upbeat electric guitar and retro analog synths, into my style of electronic production." - ayokay

The production is colorful and the vocal work is infectiously catchy. But most importantly, the entire song is written, produced, and performed by the artist for the first time. Yes thats right.. this is the first time we get to hear the artist write and perform over his own production and the end result? Amazing. 

The talent that radiates from the artist is guaranteed to heat things up this summer and we can't wait to hear whats next. Don't forget to connect with the artist online and enjoy!

Afford, an album by Zac Austin on Spotify

Zac Austin shares melodic hip-hop single 'Afford'

June 20, 2018 by Gems Secrets

We're excited to share this new record from Zac Austin titled 'Afford'. If you're big into melodic hip-hop beats with super catchy vocal work, this tracks for you. Featuring Pangeaux & Thehangout the track dives right into life and the things we want out of it, but how hesitation on what we can afford might hold us back. It's a really catchy record and we wish we knew more about the artist but as of right now we don't know a whole lot. We hope with time though, we'll learn everything we need to know. Don't forget to share the song with your friends and enjoy!

here is my new collab EP with @MoeMeaux stream & DL at x.co/ZZoutnow

ANGELZ x MOEAZY share epic 5 track mixtape — Listen here

June 18, 2018 by Gems Secrets

ANGELZ is a Gems & Secrets favorite around here and for good reason. The producer has dropped some fire dance tracks over the last year—all of which have a creative sound that have consistently blown us away. Today, we're excited to share this INSANE 5-track hip-hop mixtape produced by ANGELZ featuring rapper MOEAZY. The MC brings the heat to every single track, spitting some of the rawest verses we've heard in a long time. But most importantly, while MOEAZY brings a ton of energy to the production, what really grabbed us was the lyrical style of the artist. This project is solid all the way through but if we HAD to pick a favorite.. I think we would say 'HILLVIBE' (feat. Menlik & Seysey) so if you only have time to check out one right now, start with that. 

Either way, you're gonna love it—just click play. Don't forget to connect with the artists online to stay up to date on any future releases and enjoy!
