Premiere: N3NA Merges Trap & R&B On Brand New Banger “No Soy De Hielo”
Panamanian urban poet, singer-songwriter Daniela Bulgin, aka N3NA, is widely known for merging soul, contemporary R&B, rap and trap into hypnotic tracks. After her critically acclaimed bilingual trap single “Please Don’t Kill My Vibe,” an empowering and motivational anthem released a few weeks ago with its lyric video, N3NA returns with a brand new trap-R&B fusion, the single “No Soy De Hielo,” meaning ‘I’m not made of ice.’
She alternates between more melodic vocals and rapping verses, switching moods and vibes while talking about her vulnerability and human nature. The fearless artist generously shares her truths, love, and self analysis, on a spanish-sung banger.
She followed in the footsteps of her father, a former band member of one of Panama’s iconic soul music bands, The Soul Fantastics, and became herself a successful artist.
She was quickly propelled to fame throughout Panama and became a household name in her home country. Upon moving to the USA, she discovered her songwriting abilities and decided to dedicate her craft to a fusion of English urban sound with her signature style home to infectious latin lyrics. This caught the attention of the world-class label, BMG-US publishing company. Her poetic & conscious lyrics got her a co-publishing deal.
N3NA’S single “Bilongo” won the 1st Place in the 2019 U.S.A. Songwriting Competition’s Latin category. To date, she has released a dozen singles including “Manos Arriba,” “El Diablo Te Espera,” “Muevelo Muevelo,” “Nos Damos Love,” and “Sismo.”
One of the most exciting artists to closely follow in 2021, N3NA’s strength lies in her ability at bringing various cultures together while delivering universally relatable lyrics filled with her poetic vision and moving sensitivity. Start the summer season in style by listening to N3NA’s soulfully exotic vibes.

Sean MacLeod unveils a danceable rhythm with latest release “Inside Out (Radio Edit)”
Sean MacLeod‘s latest release, “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” is a fun, accessible tune that draws from the best of alternative rock, Britpop, and classic rock influences. There is an immediate sense of movement to the song, with guitars, bass, and drums forming a solid rhythmic foundation, while the tambourine adds extra brightness to the arrangement. Danceable, the track is light and energetic without veering too far from its rock identity.
MacLeod’s delivery on the song is very pleasant, his voice sits well over the instrumentation and keeps the melody front and center. “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” has a simple musical appeal, with vocals and a guitar-led arrangement, but the rhythm keeps the song moving from section to section.
The lyrical imagery of something shifting from nourishing to hard introduces a sense of tension and contrast. There is this idea of looking inside or outside that keeps coming up, adding another layer to the song’s point of view and suggesting a theme of awareness and how situations can appear from different directions.
Sean MacLeod keeps the production artistically focused on the familiar rock ingredients instead of overcrowding the arrangement. Cool guitar licks, a steady rhythm section, and tasteful percussion add character to the song, while the vocal delivery keeps it approachable. In the end, “Inside Out (Radio Edit)” finds MacLeod comfortably straddling the lines between alternative rock and pop-friendly turf, with an arrangement that emphasizes rhythm, melody, and an easy sense of forward motion.

THROES NYC unveils romance and tension on latest EP “The Wires Out EP”
THROES NYC’s latest EP, “The Wires Out,” a two-track EP, melds dark alt-pop, trip-hop, and electronic textures with a more melodic, pop-oriented sensibility. The release is a reflection of the creative connection of two Queens, New York natives, multi-instrumentalist/producer Michael Bozzo and vocalist Courtney Leo, who have been making music together since childhood. The project benefits from a natural sense of cohesion, thanks to their shared history, and the production keeps its focus on atmosphere and mood.
The EP begins with “Always, Baby” and is rooted in a world of beautiful ambient synths and late-night textures. The track is romantic, but it still retains the project’s darker undertones. Courtney Leo’s voice adds warmth to the electronic surroundings, giving the song a sense of intimacy and dreamy feelings.
“Something Chemical” continues the shift in emotional temperature, reinforcing the EP’s themes of tension, attraction, and complicated feelings. The production remains spacious and electronic-driven, which gives the two-track release a deep character without overwhelming its melodic path.
The strength in the record lies in the chemistry between Bozzo’s instrumental and production work and Leo’s vocal contribution, generating a sound that feels equally suited to headphones, nighttime listening, and reflective moments. THROES NYC is a project with a distinct sense of atmosphere, melody, and the long-lasting appeal of New York’s alternative music legacy.
