4fro Nick captures time and emotion in new release “Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)”

4fro Nick

“Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)” finds 4fro Nick in a creative flow, a rock-tinged track combining indie grit, soulful kindness, and modern pop clarity to a sound that’s reflective. The song is about knowing your worth, time passing, and how stepping away from things that drain your energy can be a beautiful thing.

The collaboration with Grammy-winning pianist Leo Genovese has a delicately sophisticated feel, weaving textures that extend past the traditional indie rock format. 4fro Nick has a raw tonality that is controlled and plays with openness and conviction. It’s the emotional truth that makes the song so timeless, and it’s a song that makes you feel boundaries and time.

Legendary drummer Johnny Radelat and bassist George Athanas lend a classic rock backbone to the track’s more experimental edges. The B-side, “Get There Before Noon (LA2 Mix),” moves the story into a more psychedelic and introspective place, with presence and the fleeting nature of moments. It’s a nice complement to the A-side, making for a vinyl experience that feels purposeful and cinematic. “Don’t Waste My Time (LA Mix)” is a clear statement of intent from 4fro Nick, and it is emotionally refined.

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.

Lachi celebrates inclusion on empowering pop-rap anthem on new release “Moves”

Lachi

Lachi drops her new single “Moves” with a refreshing burst of positivity. The vibrant Pop-Rap anthem takes a familiar childhood concept and turns it into a potent celebration of individuality and inclusion. The song starts silly with a nod to movement songs like “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes,” but it quickly turns serious with the powerful lyric, “Not everybody’s rocking all of those.” This lyric immediately sets the tone for a song that celebrates diversity in all its forms.

With its high energy output and infectious rhythms, “Moves” is joyful from start to finish. Instead of simply telling its listeners to dance, the track opens up a dialogue about movement itself and the myriad ways in which people experience and express themselves through their bodies. It’s an inspiring message, delivered with warmth, confidence, and real authenticity.

One of the greatest features of the song is its interactive call-and-response structure. As Lachi provides another example of how a person moves around the world, a chorus of voices enthusiastically chimes in, “And that’s cool too.” It’s a simple but powerful refrain, and it creates an atmosphere of acceptance that feels engaging and deeply affirming. Adding to the sense of community and representation, the song features disability activist and former touring artist Dom Kelly as well as members of the disability community, including RAMPD network members like Jay Thomas Manuel.

“Moves,” as a production, impressively balances playful accessibility and meaningful storytelling. The track, produced by Lachi, also features Grammy-nominated duo Andrew & Polly and Grammy winner Lucy Kalantari. The song is energetic, family-friendly, and emotional without being saccharine. All the beats, vocal layers, and crowd responses help its message of belonging.
