October 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets in EDM, Electro Pop, Electronic, Hip-Hop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We love ourselves a good pop record from time to time but Staygold went above and beyond that with their latest work, ‘Snow Girl’ & ‘All I Do’. The Grammy-nominated songwriters and producers shared two new tracks this last week highlighting some of the duo’s signature and exceptionally sounding design in the arts of electronic, hip-hop, and pop music.

‘Snow Girl’ is an upbeat party starter for anyone who loves a strong hook over electronic production… Staygold brings a little bit of everything to their music, so it’s a safe to say, whether you’re a fan of EDM or Pop bobs, ‘Snow Girl’ possesses a lovable sound that you’ll want to share with all of your friends.

‘All I Do’ highlights the duo’s gritty and raw talent for hip-hop production. Blending in a signature flavor of design and style, Staygold fuses elements of jazz, dance, and soul with a heavy set of hip-hop inspired drums, creating an infectiously catchy west-coast gem with a modern electronic twist.

**The duo is based in Los Angeles, not Germany

White Volvo, an album by Laiko on Spotify

Check out this brand new release from electronic artist Laiko 'White Volvo'

October 22, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Experimental

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Experimental, free-flowing, and exciting—these are just a few words that we could use to describe electronic artist Laiko’s latest release, ‘White Volvo’. There’s something about Laiko’s sound design that’s both tasteful and thought-provoking.

From the very beginning, the soundscape of the track has a sort of crackling texture that seems to bring vibrancy and warmth. Utilizing glitchy vocal samples, lush pads, and warm and crisp-like drums, Laiko delivers one of our favorite lo-fi inspired gems.

But what we really admire about Laiko’s work is how how emotional the track feels. There’s an uplifting energy that grabbed us from the get-go and it grew like a faint light gathering its strength to illuminate a room and before long… the world around you seems to transform all together.

We’re excited to see where Laiko takes his sound in the future and if you’re interested in hearing more, we strongly recommend you take a moment to subscribe to the artist online and enjoy!

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.

October 15, 2018 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Pop

We recently had the pleasure of reviewing BAYNK’s latest release, ‘Settle’, featuring singer/songwriter Sinead Harnett, also known for her collaborations with Snakehips, Disclosure, Kaytranada, Ryan Hemsworth, and Rudimental… together these two artists deliver a wonderful and vibrant pop-influenced electronic gem.

The new song features a vocal style so exciting and so moving, it’ll leave pull you in immediately and leave you wanting more. Sinéad’s vocal work and writing style is truly a work of art. Her ability to portray her lyrics with such rich imagery is powerful and poetic.

It’s a great time for music and BAYNK’s latest is the perfect example of just that. Don’t forget to connect with the two artists online to stay up to date and don’t forget to share! Enjoy.

WHAT THE ARTIST’S HAVE TO SAY:

BAYNK details, "Meeting Sinead for the first time was like seeing a friend I hadn’t seen in 10 years. Catching up about what we’d missed over the years led to settle being written. I didn’t want to overshadow the touching vocal with intense production so I left it minimal and let the words dictate the music. Can’t wait for you all to hear it, Sinead’s voice is incredible."  

Harnett adds, "The first day I met Baynk was the day we wrote settle. As soon as I walked into the room I felt like he was family. I always enjoy those writing sessions the most because you feel comfortable enough to open up. The story behind the song was based on the in between before you’re with someone and after you’ve started seeing each other. That dreaded unknown and the confession that you do want it to move forward. BAYNK’s clean heart translates in his music and I’m so excited for us to do more together!"
