  • Reviewing the KYARA New Electro Pop Single ‘Into The Dark’

    MuzicNotez CrewNovember 19, 2024Headlinez / New SingleToday we’re reviewing the KYARA new electro pop single ‘Into The Dark’. The Sydney, Australia rising pop star just released the track today, November, 19th. Previously, we shared her debut single ‘Yearn’, which did very well! Following up that debut release, she kicked things up a notch with her synthwave pop anthem ‘Into The Dark’. Facebook.com/@kyaramusicofficial Instagram: @kyaramusicofficial TikTok: @kyaramusicofficial KYARA showcased all of her talents with ‘Into The Dark’, as she wrote it, recorded and produced it too. She managed to create a retro sort of 80’s synth sound, come across as a futuristic vibe here. The electro pop song has a real and authentic feeling to it through KYARA’s lyrics, and that vibrant saxophone solo. Her music feels very immersive, it pulls you in to the feelings she’s having. This song touches on feelings of heartbreak, and fear of abandonment. Thoughts of loneliness are something everybody can relate to. When an artist is vulnerable and puts herself out there like this, it often connects to fans and people in a very real, authentic way. “‘Into The Dark’ dives deep into the emotional labyrinth of rejection and abandonment in modern relationships and situationships, channelling a dark, end-of-the-world vibe that echoes the intense feelings of betrayal and isolation. The song’s narrative explores the shattering of promises and the haunting realization of their emptiness.” – KYARA says about ‘Into The Dark’ KYARA New Electro Pop Single ‘Into The Dark’ Share this post on your socials & more!

• • Interview with Country Artist Anna Vaus on New Single ‘Trace Of You’ & More

    MuzicNotez CrewNovember 18, 2024Artist Interviews / Headlinez / Interviews / Interviews / New Single / Ones To WatchInterview with Country Artist Anna Vaus on The Grand Ole Opry, her new song ‘Trace of You’, move to Nashville & more MuzicNotez: First off, it’s an honor to be doing this interview with you, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us. What motivated you to start creating music? What age did you begin? Anna Vaus: I have been writing and “performing” since I was a kid. I grew up in a really creative family, my dad was a singer/songwriter and my mom was a journalist. So I’d come home from school and my dad would be working in the studio, and my mom would be on the news. When I was bored, I would pick up a guitar and write songs, and perform them to the walls of my room. Who were your musical influences, idols, or bands growing up that have helped mold you into the musician you are today? Or helped mold the music that you create? Anna Vaus: I love female storytellers, when I was young that was Taylor Swift, The Chicks, and Kacey Musgraves. As I’ve gotten older, I have stumbled into the female storytellers of different decades like Stevie Nicks and Joni Mitchell. There is something so unapologetically vulnerable about their voice that inspires me to share my story in the same way. Facebook.com/annavaus Instagram: @annavaus TikTok: @annavausmusic What’s the ultimate goal you want your music to achieve, or for you to achieve in your career as a musician? Any particular message you wish to send? Anna Vaus: With every song I write and every show I perform, my hope is that people hear a lyric and go “wow, I thought I was the only person that felt this way” and in turn, feel more connected and less alone when they leave the show. You’ve played on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage, multiple times now! What has that experience been like? Anna Vaus: It’s such an incredibly historic place, and everytime I am in that building let alone in the circle I feel very fortunate to walk the halls of such a sacred establishment. It’s very humbling to perform my music on a stage that has shaped the course of country music. Everytime I play it goes by so fast because I feel like the whole I’m thinking “I can’t believe I’m here!” and by the time I come to terms with it, the set is over! You’re latest release is ‘Trace of You’, which we love! What inspired this track? What’s it mean to you? Anna Vaus: Thank you so much for loving it! It was inspired by my current relationship. My partner, Kevin, and I have been together for six years and I have loved the ways in which our relationship has grown and changed. I love the certain “traces” of our younger selves that find me in the world like how the first warm day of summer reminds me of when we first started dating. I wanted to write a song that captures that sweet nostalgia and that feeling became Trace of You! Like so many, you’ve went from California to Nashville to pursue your music career. What’s it been like in Nashville? Everything you hoped it would be? Anna Vaus: I love Nashville. I’m a California kid at heart, and I think living so far away from home has really inspired me to turn my music into the place I feel closest to the spirit of California. I call my genre “Laurel Canyon Country” because I want to capture the feeling of driving down the coast with my hand on the window and the sun on my back. You’re finding a lot of success as an independent artist, what tips or advice would you give to other indie artists to find similar success in the future? Anna Vaus: If I could give any advice to another indie artist, I would really just encourage you to hold tight to who you are and don’t be afraid to think outside of the box. What else are you working on? What can we expect to see and hear from you in the future? Anna Vaus: I’m currently finishing up my debut album which will come out next spring. I really felt like I lost sight of who I am for a time and my debut album feels like a return to myself. I’m so excited to share it with my fans. Anything else you wish to say about yourself or your music? Any message for your fans? Anna Vaus: I’m so looking forward to the new music that is coming out and I can’t thank you enough for being on this journey with me! Share this post on your socials & more!

  • Interview with Pop Artist Kissimjau on Singles ‘VooDoo Doll’ & ‘The Basement’

    MuzicNotez CrewNovember 15, 2024Artist Interviews / Headlinez / Interviews / Interviews / New Single / Ones To WatchInterview with Pop Artist Kissimjau on new music & more MuzicNotez: First off, it’s an honor to be doing this interview with you, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us. What motivated you to start creating music? What age did you begin? Kissimjau: Somehow I have always known that I wanted to make music and I was really just motivated by the feeling I got from performing. A feeling I didn’t know what was but felt different to everything else I knew. I started writing my own music when I was 8 (in English even though I barely knew english), and ever since that i´ve probably written thousands of songs! Who were your musical influences, idols, or bands growing up that have helped mold you into the musician you are today? Or helped mold the music that you create? Kissimjau: I would say my main musical influences growing up was Lady Gaga and Rihanna. I think Lady Gaga’s electronic sound with big synths probably plays a big part in my love for electronic music cause I remember listening to her album “The Fame” non stop even though i was just seven at the time. I think the way she’s so shameless and authentic also inspired me alot. Instagram: @kissimjau TikTok: @kissimjau What’s the ultimate goal you want your music to achieve, or for you to achieve in your career as a musician? Any particular message you wish to send? Kissimjau: My ultimate goal is to inspire people and especially girls to dare to go after their dreams, and to be able to make people feel something through my music. I would also love to travel the world playing concerts and be able to meet the people who like my music! What’s the greatest concert you’ve ever been to or performed? Kissimjau: I saw Raye playing in Bergen this summer which was amazing. I truly think she is one of the best songwriters that we have, and during the concert she made me both cry and dance, and I really aspire to take the listeners through a journey like that on my own concerts as well! You’re latest release is the single ‘Voodoo Doll’, which is doing very well! What inspired this track? What does it mean to you? Kissimjau: What inspired the track is the immediate feeling of rage after being betrayed by someone. I was cheated on by an ex boyfriend, but it was important for me to make the song feel empowering, so I think it turned out to be a nice balance of emotions in that song! You also dropped a music video for Voodoo Doll, which is your first full length music video. What was it like creating the video? Kissimjau: Creating the music video was super fun! I got to bring friends for the scenes where we needed background actors, so we made it a really social and fun thing which I think is important! I also got to do some things i never thought i would do, like stabbing a voodoo doll, and also acting out “killing” someone which was crazy! So a super fun experience, I will definitely do it again! Being from Norway, what’s the music scene like there for an independent artist like yourself? Kissimjau: Being an independent artist in Norway is pretty nice to be honest! We´re a small country so the music scene is pretty small which means the community is tight and people are supportive of each other! What else are you working on? What can we expect to see and hear from you in the future? Kissimjau: Right now I’m getting ready for releasing a new song next friday (15/11),which I am super excited about as it is kinda different to the other songs i´ve released, but I hope people will like it! Apart from that i’m working on more songs to come in 2025...
• • Review of the Shannon Baker Americana Single ‘For The Love of My Woman’ from ‘I’ve Seen Texas’ Album

    MuzicNotez CrewNovember 13, 2024Headlinez / New SingleShannon Baker is an artist and songwriter out of Texas that creates music that’s a fusion of Americana and country. Today, we’re talking about the Shannon Baker Americana Single ‘For The Love of My Woman’, from his 2022 album I’ve Seen Texas. It’s a heartfelt Americana ballad that exudes sincerity and warmth. The track blends strumming guitars, subtle percussion, and traditional Americana and country touches to create an inviting and rustic soundscape. Facebook.com/shannon.baker.5437 Reverbnation.com/shannonbaker Baker’s emotive vocals are the centerpiece, carrying the weight of devotion and love with authenticity. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of commitment, celebrating the tender nuances of a relationship with lines that resonate as both personal and relatable. This is fitting, because I noticed on his Facebook page that his son just got married and he has a new daughter in law. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a song that was played at that wedding! With polished yet organic production, the song balances its instrumentation well, keeping Baker’s voice at the forefront, married seamlessly with his soaring guitar notes. For The Love of My Woman is a strong showcase of Baker’s storytelling prowess, making it a must listen for fans of genuine country and Americana music.
