July 18, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Italian based artist, Nacarat, began songwriting at the age of sixteen years old, with inspiration by Adele, that gave her the confidence boost to start creating music of her own. This opened doors to let her express her perception about this world through her eyes as well as constructing lyrics people could relate to.

'Karma' was written after a break up. In moments of vulnerability, Nacarat put words into perspective and turn moments of frailty into a work of Art.

Music video for Lay Down performed by Alice Gray.

Alice Gray delivers her best work yet with 'Lay Down'

July 16, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Alice Gray is constantly raising the bar and is consistently delivering quality work but 'Lay Down' may be her best work yet. Why? Well for starters, we felt like we got to witness a more intimate version of Alice's writing style and we felt that there was a clearer focus on the vocal production rather than relying on fancy tricks and over-produced instrumentals. Alice has an incredible gift when it comes to writing and that really proved to be true here.

And the talent only starts from there. This time, on top of yet another solid release, Alice delivered an impressive music video to go along with it that was also directed, choregraphed, and performed by herself. 

"When I wrote this song I was a wreck, but writing, directing and performing it has turned that mess into the utmost gratifying project I've worked on."

We love where Alice is headed and with each and every release, we fall deeper into our appreciation for the artist and we honestly can't wait till everyone else catches on. Enjoy!

Pieces, an album by Rosé on Spotify

Kick back and enjoy this soulful R&B gem from Rosé and dylAn

July 16, 2018 by Gems Secrets in R&B, Hip-Hop, Conscious Rap

One of our latest obsessions come from the incredible Rosé and rising hip-hop artist dylAn. Titled 'Pieces', we were immediately drawn in by the warm production style and the slow rhythmic energy from the drums.

Rosé delivers a jaw-dropping vocal performance and provides a deep level of imagery with her lyricism and unique vocal style while dylAn provides an important contrast to the record with his raw energy and creative word play when delivering his verses. 

We've been enjoying the hip-hop artists vocal style for some time now so we were excited to see this collaboration come about when it did and we can only hope to hear future work from both of the artists in the near future. But until then, I suppose we'll keep 'Pieces' on repeat. Enjoy!

Johann Beach releases a catchy summer pop tune—'Over Getting Over You'

July 16, 2018 by Gems Secrets

Yeah so summer is here and the weather is heating up but at-least we have a stream of fresh music to cool things off. To kick things off we have this newly released single from electro-pop artist Johann Beach and there's a few things we really love about this song. First, Johann's vocal style is infectiously catchy and is without a doubt one of the biggest selling points with this song. Second, the production takes a very minimalistic approach that's both fun and easy to listen to.

'Over Getting Over You' is the perfect track to add to your Summer playlist for all of your upcoming activities and dont forget to show some love to the artist online. Enjoy!

We're slightly obsessed with Out There's and Ella Poletti's 'What To Do'

July 13, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Pop

The track was released a couple weeks ago and we're still going hard on the repeat button. Out There's colorful and exciting production stye is enough to keep our attention no matter how many times we click play and that alone is pretty incredible. The wonderful Ella Poletti brought their best work to the table and solidified the hit with her incredible vocal performance.

"This song makes me so happy and I had such a great time writing it with Ella Poletti! 'What To Do' is out now on all major platforms! I hope it brightens up your day!" - Out There

Together, these two created one of our favorite songs for the Summer and we can't wait to see what the two has in store next. In the mean time, we encourage you to turn up the volume and let 'What To Do' brighten up your day and your mood no matter how you're feeling this beautiful Friday morning. Enjoy!

i have been reborn. EX available everywhere.

R&B artist RVRB, shares latest single 'EX'

July 13, 2018 by Gems Secrets in R&B

If you're a fan of moody R&B, you're in for a treat this morning due to RVRB's fresh new release titled 'EX'. The dark undertones and the ambient sound design are decorated with electronic synths and 80's synth-pop elements creating a very nostalgic, very hopeless/romantic type of vibe. It's a great track to just kick back and relax to due to the delicate and warm production. 

It's a solid track nonetheless and we encourage you to take a moment to check out some of the other material the artist has available on their Soundcloud. Don't forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on any future releases and enjoy!

FREAKY GENiUS: [iNTERLUDE ∞ iAM EP], a song by BLAKE & JAKE, PETER PS¥LØ, the PARMESAN PRANKSTA on Spotify

'FREAKY GENIUS' the debut single from Nashville based duo BLAKE & JAKE—listen here!

July 13, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Experimental

There are several things that immediately catch our attention with 'FREAKY GENIUS', the debut single from Nashville based duo BLAKE & JAKE. First off, you don't get the whole experience the first listen, this song will grow on you.

“Sometimes I get freaked out about how different G¥ is, but then I think back to that fact that we’ve never done anything the way it’s ‘supposed’ to be done. We’re the misfits.” - BLAKE

We love the energetic and soulful instrumentation, on the outside, the song has a lot of fun energy and creative elements that make this track extremely unique. Dissect even further and you're suddenly taken back by the rich lyricism and deeply rooted imagery—and that's when it finally hits you, once you click play, you're no longer in your world, you're in the GENIUS mind of BLAKE & JAKE. 

“The hook is a tribute to the Genius that lives within us all. It’s also been a vessel for Jake and I to explore Peter Psylo and the Parmesan Pranksta, two of the characters we’re developing for G¥.” - BLAKE

If you dig the song, be sure to share it with your friends and don't forget to connect with the band online to stay up to date on any future releases or updates, enjoy!
