Get Nostalgic with an 80’s Vibe ✨

2022 is already a promising year for Tyler Garret. In the first month of this year, he dropped a new track: ‘Old Flames’. The song is super nice on its own, but also hints to what we can expect from Tyler this year. In the winter of 2022, he plans to drop a new album.

The trac is produced by Jonathan Borsis. Garret and Borsis will also be collaborating for the tracks on the expected album.

Tyler got his inspiration from Michael Jackson and Carly 80’s. When you listen to the lyrics, you notice the different layers to the song. It is about lost lovers and breaking the chains that come with past relationships. The title Old Flames is reminding you of previous relationships. A lot of synth and a sensual groove brings you into these deeper emotions.


Amazing Remix of a Strong Pop Song 🙌

The song ‘One in Control’ came out in two different versions. The remix by Tate Gregor was created simultaneously with the original track. This remix version really ads another layer to the song and gives it some spice.

Billy Cadden started to play music in middle school. In high school he got part of a band and later switched to a solo path. In total Cadden has been playing music for about 18 years. With experience in different instruments and good writing skills, he makes amazing tunes.

‘One in control’ was written in the beginning of the pandemic. Billy likes to have listeners form their own idea of a song instead of explaining the feeling behind it. In general, though the song is about slowing down, but right before you come to a standstill you realize that you need to snap out of it. This feeling can come to you in any live pattern, whether it is work or a relationship.

‘One in Control’ is a very upbeat song. With a hint of indie and an electronic pop vibe it couldn’t miss in our pop playlist.

‘LAME AF’ is the latest song of LRYN. It has a heavy beat and almost hip-hop like rhythm. Combined with up front vocals, this song really grasps you. The main vibe is contemporary pop, but mixing it with R&B and electronic music really turns Lame AF into a special pop song.

The track is about something that really happened in LRYN live, but more in general focusses on this vibe we always have with some persons. There is always someone we know, who we think is Lame AF.

Explore an Ocean of Feelings through Dance Music 🌊

With her new song, Nicole Dash Jones really mixes your feelings. The uplifting track makes you happy, but its deeper layers are sadder. Together with pop tones and an overall dance music color it has you going crazy.

The lyrics are a bit philosophical. Nicole talks about a love that can transcend all and gain control over someone. This also has a negative and positive meaning. The effect of powerful love is amazing, it shows the melting together of two souls. On the other hand, it also shows how one loses their own identity and gets trapped in this dreamy vibe away from reality.

Overall, the song is very powerful. Showing the different perspectives gives it an emotional energy. Combined with 80’s vibes and a lot of synth, this song will be stuck in your mind. The high tempo beat is combined with a lot of spark. Written by Nicole Dash Jones on the piano and produced by Samuel Hills.
