September 04, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Contemporary R&B, R&B

Titled ‘Younger You’, the R&B track features the incredible Emilia on vocals and carries over a laidback and relaxed atmosphere from start to finish. The song has a very modern twist to it (which we love) but infuses a nostalgic feel throughout the instrumental track—something you’d expect from classic soul and R&B releases from over the decades.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“This song is about cycles, namely the cycles we go through as human beings, and how we tolerate them and work around them. From my perspective, it's about stepping outside of your own cycles and re-evaluating why you're where you are, and if you're really okay with your proposed trajectory. Lines like "thinkin’ bout sleeping on the couch while they're off in their own minds" is a concrete example, that, although somewhat literal, personally evokes some sort of mental removal from everyday scenes. It ties in a lot to mental health and connectivity to exterior unknowns” — Zanski

We're obsessed with Tobias Dray's new single 'Carousel' (feat. Benita), listen to it here!

August 28, 2019 by Gems Secrets in House

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Tobias Dray is the latest and greatest to land on our radar and for good reason. The electronic producer is putting out some insane music at the moment and his most recent single proves just that. Titled ‘Carousel’, the new dance tracks features singer/songwriter Benita and I think it’s safe to say that this is one of our favorite collaborations we’ve heard all month. If you’re a fan of mellow house beats and colorful vocals, ‘Carousel’ is right up your alley.

Here’s what Benita has to say about the song:

“The song is about being infatuated with someone who you don't usually go for. It's about not being able to see a clear view of this person but you are being manipulated by their words into believing they are good for you. The lyrics "I'ma give you something unforgettable. Quit talking, show no tell, come and ride on my carousel" can mean so many things but it's what you make it to be. The carousel simply symbolizes one who manipulates you into entering their world of games... leaving you confused about what their intentions really are.”

— Benita

We love the energy these two bring to the table and we look forward to hearing some collaborations down the road (hopefully). Don’t forget to connect with the artist’s online to stay up to date on any upcoming shows or releases and enjoy!

🎠 New Song Out 🎠 featuring the talented @sheisbenita I made the song and Benita wrote the lyrics and sang with her amazing voice. It tells the story of being manipulated by someone. The carousel symbolizes one who manipulates you into entering their world of games, leaving you confused about what their intentions really are. The song almost represents someone being trapped in this world where they are not able to tell what is real and what is true to them on a romantic level.

Watch Lo Lo's music video for 'Stranger's Arms' (feat. DCF) here!

August 22, 2019 by Gems Secrets in Electro Pop

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Lo Lo released a music video for her new song ‘Stranger's Arms’ on Friday, have you checked it out yet? The song features DCF over an upbeat electro-pop instrumental track. It’s catchy and we love the intimacy behind the entire production.

"Broken phones, missed calls, too many drinks, and shitty bars full of people feeling lost…just your average Saturday night out. Stranger’s Arms is about two people who were once in love. Now broken hearted, they look to mend their hearts in the arms of strangers. This coping mechanism is definitely not working, though. They each think that they’re the ones who “fucked up” the relationship, and when they try to call each other at the exact same moment, they both think that the other sent them to voicemail." — Lo Lo

From the lyrics to the video, Lo Lo beautifully expresses the painful experience behind a broken heart so well that by the time you finish listening… you’re going to feel like YOU’RE the one getting broken up with.
