EREZ says it's time to 'Dance It Away', stream the artist's new single here

August 10, 2021 by Toby Boston in Pop, Indie Pop, Indie

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

'Dance It Away' is a breathtakingly unique gem from EREZ. The self-produced track floats in a realm where late-night dance parties and heady self-reflection intertwine.

"Dancing is one of the only moments where I’m truly able to clear my mind," shares EREZ. "The musical landscapes I carve out are unique and feel like me. I've been lucky enough to never have a voice in my head of 'will they like it' while creating. I only create what I love and enjoy listening to".

'Dance It Away' is a haunting and captivating record, encapsulating us in a trance, providing a momentary escape. EREZ's unique upbringing—NYC born, Israeli-raised, and now L.A. based— afforded her the opportunity to embrace a worldly sound, showcased in the characteristic and unique instrumentation, incorporating the world influence into an alternative electronic pop hit.

Have you heard the latest from NGHTMRE and Yung Pinch yet? Stream "Scars" here

July 22, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Electronic, Electro Pop, Pop, Hip-Hop

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

NGHTMRE and Yung Pinch stole the show this week with their new collab titled “Scars”. Featuring an unforgettable hook, crisp, punchy drums, and a laid-back melody that’s bound to keep you pulled in from start to finish… it’s hard to turn away from something this catchy. It’s a refreshing take from past releases and marks the open possibility of a line of future releases that could feel more “pop-centric”.

And this is a good thing, coming from their past, “Scars” highlights the true versatility and talent each of these artist possess and we’re excited (at-least hopeful) that we’ll hear more, if not similar bodies of work in the coming months. In the meantime, turn up the volume, kick-back, and enjoy this incredible new single. Don’t forget to connect with NGHTMRE and Yung Pinch online to stay up to date and enjoy!

New music from Darci and BEAM out now, stream "Burn" here

July 21, 2021 by Gems Secrets in Cloud Rap, Conscious Rap, Feature, Hip-Hop, Rap, Dark

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Darci landed on our radar years ago with the release of his 2016 single titled “Come Around”. It was at that moment we knew this would be a special project. Since then, the rapper has built up an incredibly diverse discography that features a number of dark, cloud-like singles that showcase the versatility of Darci’s talent. All of which showcase their own unique features and sound palettes that could only be described as mysterious and vibrant. Which at this point clearly distinguishes the artist’s vision and writing style.

With Darci’s latest single titled “Burn”, we’re proud to to say the artist is continuing this trend of innovating as he pushes the boundaries of his own universe. “Burn” is a gentle reminder that Darci is in his own lane and there’s no one else quite like him. We’re excited to hear more from him in the coming months (obviously), but also, we will say that we can only hope to see more music videos from the artist too. With only 1 or 2 under his belt at the moment, we would love to see more of his vision on a larger scale.

In closing, there’s not much else to say when the music is this good. So, check it out for yourself and let us know what you think. Don’t forget to connect with Darci online to stay up to date and enjoy!
