SHY Martin - Remember you were the one (Official video)Stream: https://stem.ffm.to/rememberyouweretheoneWritten by: Litens, Julia Karlsson, Hampus Lindvall, ...

Watch SHY Martin's music video for "Remember you were the one" here

April 16, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Electro Pop, Pop, R&B, Feature

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

SHY Martin is an artist we’ve covered the most since launching the Gems & Secrets platform. From penning some of our favorite songs within the last decade while simultaneously collecting billions of streams from listeners all around the world, it would seem the artist would eventually start to fill the pressure—and while we’re not suggesting the musician doesn’t feel any pressure within her creative process—one thing is for sure… SHY Martin continues to hold a level of quality and integrity within her work that never loses its magic.

“I feel like I‘ve become better at respecting myself and my energy during the last year, I’ve learnt to move away from situations and people that don't make me happy. I’ve never been good at letting relationships go and as a songwriter I’ve always gone back to old relationships trying to figure out why they went wrong or if I could have done something differently to change the outcome. This song is the first one I’ve written about accepting it for what it is instead of dwelling on the past” — SHY Martin

With her latest, titled “Remember you were the one”, SHY Martin hits a darker tone than what we’ve heard in recent past. It’s eccentric and bold and we love the direction and energy SHY Martin delivers throughout her performance. Accompanying the new single is a DIY lyric music video that blends screenshots and film photos together to create a lifestyle look of the artist, and we gotta say, we love how it came out.

Check out the new single for yourself and let us know what you think down below. Don’t forget to connect with SHY Martin online to stay up to date on any upcoming releases and enjoy!

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

18-year-old newcomer Hunter Moreau shines with her new single 'Hazy'. Boasting glistening synths and delicate vocals, the track features production by Doug Schadt who’s writing credits boast artists like Maggie Rogers, Ashe, and SHAED. 'Hazy' is a rich and emotive alt-pop hit. It’s smooth and catchy whilst still being texturally intricate, emotionally uplifting, and even feels dense with minimal tendencies.

"As simple as it may sound, 'Hazy' is about the pure bliss of summer nights,” shares Moreau, "The excitement of not caring how exactly you’re going to get home, or where you even are, but just knowing that you want whatever feeling this is to last forever."

The new single is a beautifully written piece of work, accompanied by an equally hazy visual - we’re confident you’ll love this one just as much as we do. Check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Hunter Moreau online to stay up to date and enjoy!

Breakout artist mehro returns with his highly awaited project “SKY ON FIRE” featuring the artist’s new single “not alone”. With licks of indie rock, folk, & electronica blended into one… mehro creates a unique sound palette accompanying catchy hooks and swelling percussion. Speaking on the project’s subject, which covers the global events of the last couple of years, this is what he had to say:

"How could something so destructively horrendous, turn into something so breathtakingly beautiful? Perhaps that is the promise, that this fire, while scorching the ground that we stood upon, will show us a light so unique, so alchemical - that it is meant to guide us to something greater."

'not alone' showcases the raw talent and unique approach of mehro’s writing style and it’s safe to say we’ll be keeping our ear to the ground when it comes to any upcoming work.

April 07, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Bedroom Pop, Feature, Indie, Pop, R&B, Soul

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

We’ve been fans of Olive B’s work since the release of “Fine Wine” back in 2018. Today, the talented singer / songwriter remains as an all time favorite of the Gems & Secrets platform. And after a nearly 2 year hiatus, we are absolutely thrilled to share the latest and greatest from the musician with you. In collaboration with longtime producer and friend, Bobby Love, Olive B pens an intimate open letter about the conversations one may have with a partner, regardless of the type of engagement.

This is perhaps one of the many great talents Olive B possesses. Her ability to write and touch on complex emotions in a rich and often energizing way remains just as magical to us as it did on day 1. We’re hoping the new single marks and sets the tone for the rest of 2021 as it’s safe to say we’ll be keeping a close eye on Olive B moving forward.
