Olive B returns from hiatus with brand new single "Conversations" — stream it here

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.

Kyle Dion releases 2 new songs, stream 'That Don't Mean A Thing / Stressed Out' here

Listen to this song in our official Spotify playlist: 

‘Discovering The Undiscovered’

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Soulful singer Kyle Dion returns after the success of his album 'Suga' with two sparkling new singles, with the bright 80s synths of 'That Don't Mean A Thing' and the moody bouncy rhythms of 'Stressed Out', capturing a musical expression of Dion's experience throughout the year.

“'Stressed Out' is what the world is feeling right now,” Dion explains. “There’s this thick air of hopelessness, despair and anger that seems to have consumed the world in 2020, but through all of that, there’s also empowerment and this sense of closeness as we’re all going through it together. Then, on 'That Don’t Mean A Thing' I wanted to give a new energy to the world because everything’s so heavy right now. We need more joy, and we forget it is an important part of life to maintain for ourselves, and right now it’s somewhat buried under all the stress that’s currently in the world."

We admire Kyle Dion’s efforts and his passionate energy. We’re looking forward to hearing more for the visionary and encourage everyone else to do the same. Don’t forget to connect with the artist online to stay up to date on what’s coming up and enjoy!

You're going to love this collaboration between DESIIRE, TiKA, and Casey MQ

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

DESIIRE, TiKA, and Casey MQ truly outdid themselves with their latest collaboration titled, ‘Goodbyes’. The new single infuses warm guitar riffs, funky basslines, and a soulful vocal style that’ll send you in a hazy, sun drenched dream.

The song was inspired by a tumultuous friendship/relationship in which the subjects part ways in a loving manner while focusing on the positives sides of the fallen union.

The atmosphere of the track feels warm and relaxing but the lyrics carry a level of depth that you’ll truly appreciate and relate to. For fans of R&B, with a modern twist, each of these artist’s bring a unique style and taste to the table and we couldn’t be anymore grateful for that.

WHAT THE ARTIST HAS TO SAY:

“TiKA, Casey & I really wanted to create a song that felt both nostalgic and modern. We're all big fans of old classic anthems and our goal was to channel that energy and make our own. TiKA is an incredible singer who's voice is so present and emotive. Casey's voice has this haunting texture and quality to it and alongside mine, we created something we're all very proud of." — DESIIRE

You're going to love this music video from Abby Diamond — 'Irrelevant'

WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY:

Okay, before our brains explode with out awesome this track is, allow us to at-least explain why.

‘Irrelevant' is the latest from singer/songwriter Abby Diamond. Their new song highlights some of Abby’s rich lyrical writing style and her smooth, angel-like voice.

Also, if you’re a fan of slow, future-like R&B, the track has a really spacey and colorful soundscape that you won’t be able to turn off. The drums are crisp and sharp and the little details throughout the production really make the track pop out to us.

And last but definitely not least, what Abby did with the visuals is both creative and inspiring. We love the direction she took color, look, and design-wise and we absolutely love the cinematography. I think you can safely consider us a fan after seeing all of this and we honestly can’t wait to see where she goes from here.
