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

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.”

Dark and melodic, mysterious hip-hop duo Darci, makes their return with new single 'Won't'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

It’s been incredible watching Darci grow over the last year. Since day 1, we’ve covered every release and for good reason. We LOVE the original sound that Darci delivers—blending elements of dark under-tones, massive sounding drums, melodic elements, and a truly diverse and exciting vocal style. Darci’s distinct sound is amongst some of the few we can’t seem to get over. The duo is rapidly growing in popularity and will soon become a staple within the hip-hop and electronic music scene.

But don’t take our word for it, the duo has amassed an incredible 20 million streams across all music platforms, platforms like Soundcloud, YouTube, and Spotify… all while keeping their identity, a secret.

To top it all off, Darci was signed to UTA which led to some of their first live appearances and a variety of festival appearances such as HARD Summer, Mamby On The Beach and 515 Alive. This New Years Eve, the duo will be performing at the legendary Lake Tahoe festival, SnowGlobe. You can grab tickets here.

We have so much to look forward to still and we can’t wait to see what the duo has in stored. If you love the new song, be sure to connect with the artist’s online to stay up to date on what’s happening next and enjoy!

WHAT FINBONGO HAS TO SAY:

“At last, we finished our debut-single, Figures, after spending endless hours in the attic of a worn old villa in Oslo, Norway. We had to work late at night to avoid traffic noise and recorded in intervals between the passing trains, some of them even made it to the record.“ - Finbongo

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

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.

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”
