Playmate, a song by Olive B on Spotify

One of our favorite songwriters just released a new song, go stream Olive B's 'Playmate' now

May 17, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Contemporary R&B, Pop, R&B, Electronic

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: ‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Olive B landed on our radar with her collaborations with house producer Bobby Love. So naturally, when we found out she released her own single, we were pretty excited to check it out… and upon hearing it, we were blown away.

Olive possesses a very passionate and metaphorical writing style (which was what initially grabbed our attention with her past material). Her lyrics are a work of art and cut deep into the soul and reveal what makes each of us human. It’s honest and reflective and there’s something special about the energy she reveals throughout her music that one simply can’t ignore.

Her voice is soft and angel-like as it dances around the instrumental and you can’t help but get lost in a daydream whenever she starts to sing. So kick back, close your eyes, and enjoy this for what it is. Simply amazing.

Olive’s EP is scheduled to be released May 29th so don’t forget to connect with her online to be the first to check it out. Enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

The song was inspired by a relationship I was in, where I felt fully committed to this person, and eventually, it became one-sided. He didn’t seem to care about me, but he put more effort in when I acted the way I thought he wanted me to. The song is split between a vulnerable submissive side and one where I felt powerful and comfortable with being myself. At first, writing this track was emotional, but the more I started writing the more empowered I felt. — Olive B

PATTERNS, a song by NASAYA, Sara Diamond on Spotify

Have you checked out NASAYA and Sara Diamond's latest yet? Stream 'PATTERNS' now

May 14, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Have you checked out NASAYA and Sara Diamond's latest yet? Titled ‘PATTERNS’, we immediately fall in love with the tone and ambience of the track. Everything from the kick-drums, to the guitar licks, to the warm base-line. The record feels both calming and inspiring.

It’s nearly impossible to get sick of and with every new listen you find yourself falling deeper in love with the various electronic elements of the track. It feels natural and easy to follow along with and we love the cinematic nature behind the sound design—it’s easy to dream when the soundscape of a song is as beautiful as ‘PATTERNS’ is, believe us.

But things only get better as we move on to the vocals. Sara Diamond delivers a jaw-dropping performance from start to finish. Her voice dances gracefully over the drums and adds a layer of confidence to the record that only compliments NASAYA’s production style (in the best way possible). These two artist’s really outdid themselves and we mean that wholeheartedly. From the lyrics, to the instrumentation, to even the mixing. This is a solid track from start to finish.

To us, this is an instant classic and without a doubt one of our favorite collaborations we’ve heard all year. We think it’s safe to say we’re already looking forward to hearing more from the two in the coming months (well, hopefully).

Don’t forget to connect with the artist’s online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“‘PATTERNS’ is the first track I wrote after moving to LA. I was actually sleeping on my friends couch around the time I wrote the first demo. I’m quite attached to this song, I feel that it captures this new period of my life that was just beginning.” — NASAYA

Y.A.S gets personal with her latest R&B gem 'Pillow Thoughts'

May 13, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Contemporary R&B, Pop

Forward-thinking, honest, and above all creative, the multi-talented Y.A.S gets personal on her latest R&B gem titled ‘Pillow Thoughts’. Written and performed by Y.A.S herself, we immediately fall in love with her voice and her writing style. Not only is it catchy but it’s relatable and honest… a talent that is often over-looked completely.

The instrumental production is fueled by punchy R&B kicks, a warm gliding bass-line, and soft melodic elements creating a wonderful and chilling experience from start to finish. Y.A.S continues to create and share thought-provoking and often passionate art that stems from her heart and it shows. Her creative vision is something we’re 100% in love with and we’re already looking forward to hearing/seeing more in the coming months.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song is about the aftermath of sleeping with someone for the first time. It stems from feelings of insecurity. Written from my perspective, awake, whilst the guy is asleep on the other side of the bed, our backs to each other, with space between us. The space between us being the opposite of the closeness the night before, which makes me overwhelmed of thoughts of what he thinks of me now.” — Y.A.S

Kick your day off with this insane indie-electronic track from Casual T and Viben, stream 'Bath?' here

May 09, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Electronic

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Teaming up once again, Casual T and Viben present ‘Bath?’. A sensual indie-electronic inspired record with a complex melodic structure driven by powerful punchy kicks. The ideal track for fans of experimental drum-heavy productions.

The track itself packs a punch but the vocal production brings a rather hypnotic tone to the record that you can’t shake off. It’s both mysterious and exciting. We love the creative direction behind the track and even more the unique blend both of the featured artists bring to the table.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

"Bath?", just like every other song on the "Lovers?" EP, is about a girl.  It was inspired by a very romantic night that I had in my studio's bathtub.  I won't say her name, but if she's reading this, she knows who she is.  Miss you. — Casual T
