Masego Goes Looking For A ‘Mystery Lady’ With Help From Don Toliver

Masego’s new EP ‘Studying Abroad’ is due Friday, November 13. …

TrapHouseJazz pioneer Masego has been working on his Studying Abroad EP for some time and this Friday, he’s ready to release the project in full after dropping the singles “Passport” and “Silver-Tongued Devil” with Shenseea. He’s got one last teaser to share, though, in the form of his bass-heavy new single “Mystery Lady” featuring Don Toliver.

According to the press release, “Studying Abroad is a concept experience that lyrically chronicles a relationship from sultry start to its explosive finish.” He’s also planning a live stream performing songs from the EP on Tuesday, November 17 at 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET on his YouTube page. Studying Abroad is the first release from Masego since 2018’s Lady Lady, which became a favorite of critics and fans alike.

Meanwhile, the song gives Don Toliver another feature to add to his growing list of them in 2020. After foregoing an appearance on XXL’s 2020 Freshman Class cover — following in the footsteps of his Cactus Jack mentor Travis Scott — Toliver went on a tear, popping up on Nas’ “Replace Me” with Big Sean, Internet Money’s “Lemonade” with Gunna and Nav, on the “Lemonade” remix with Roddy Ricch, and on Rico Nasty’s “Don’t Like Me” with Gucci Mane.

Listen to “Mystery Lady” above.

Studying Abroad is due 11/13 on EQT Recordings / Capitol. Pre-save it here.

Bhy2r brings the carnival vibes to life with latest release “Kannaval Déman”

Bhy2r

Bhy2r’s latest release, “Kannaval Déman,” is a lively mix of Shatta Dancehall energy that quickly takes listeners to the colorful, chaotic world of Carnival. “Kannaval Déman” is sung entirely in Kreyol and tells the story of Déman, a young man who is excited for his favorite festival but wakes up on Carnival morning with a bad toothache. But this new song from Bhy2r shows that no small setback can stop the flow of life, or the party.

From the very beginning, audiences get a lively, energetic spirit and dancehall rhythms that are easy to dance to. The song captures the excitement of the festival and Déman’s funny dental problem, creating a story that is both relatable and interesting, just like Carnival. Bhy2r’s ability to give his characters depth while keeping the party atmosphere lively shows how good he is at telling stories through music.

The production is very accurate, with rhythmic percussion and melodic motifs that make you want to tap your feet or, in true Carnival style, dance. It is a piece of music that works on many levels: it tells an interesting story, pays tribute to regional culture, and serves as a catchy dance anthem all at once.

At the end of “Kannaval Déman,” people smile because they feel sorry for Déman’s dental problems and look forward to the festival’s chaos. Bhy2r shows again that he can write personal, happy, and full-of-life songs. This isn’t just a song; it’s an invitation to join the Carnival, no matter what problems you may have.

Plasma Driver lights up the rock scene, blending gritty riffs and catchy melodies with latest release “Catch A Falling Star” 

Plasma Driver

Plasma Driver’s latest release, “Catch A Falling Star,” stands out as a major part of their first album, Night Whispers, because it is based on the essence of indie rock experimentation. Track seven on the album shows how brave the band is to mix melodic pop with the raw power of distorted riffs. The result is a track that is both emotionally powerful and new in terms of sound.

Plasma Driver is made up of four talented musicians who want to make their mark in modern rock by combining the rawness of Queens of the Stone Age, the atmospheric intensity of Interpol, and the frenetic energy of The Strokes. “Catch A Falling Star” not only references these influences but also gives them new meaning. The song moves smoothly between quiet, reflective parts and fast, riff-driven parts, taking listeners to a place that is both personal and huge.

“Catch A Falling Star” is known for having a good balance of tension and release. Atmospheric layers mix with catchy melodic hooks to create an emotional resonance that lasts long after the last note. Plasma Driver’s first album is a huge success because it has the amazing ability to make music that is both thought-provoking and easy to understand. Plasma Driver shows in “Catch A Falling Star” are making them into a sound that is completely their own, making the track a statement, a bold invitation for listeners to join the band on a journey of revelation, distortion, and beautiful melody.
