NYC Band Blak Emoji Share New Single “Swooning On You”

NYC Band Blak Emoji Share New Single “Swooning On You”.

Fronted by singer, producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey Warren, NYC band Blak Emoji have shared their latest single, “Swooning On You”. Having built a following and received critical acclaim for their previous work over the last few years, the band’s self-produced and independently released new track is another impressive entry into their growing discography. It follows “Mechanism”, which was released earlier this year, and precedes the band’s forthcoming album due for release in October.

Playing drums since the age of 5 and guitar and piano since the age of 12, Kelsey showcases his full production range on “Swooning On You”, expertly and seamlessly blending together R&B, soul, electronic and pop – i.e. all the sounds he was immersed in throughout his childhood growing up in South Jersey – with a fresh and modern twist. “I was working on this beat in Logic on and off for a few weeks”, says Kelsey. “I had the drum pattern and bassline down but went back and forth experimenting with sounds and ambient textures for quite a while.

“The lyrics were inspired by a recent conversation, and once the lyrical lightbulb turned on, the melody came out of nowhere. I completed the music, recorded the vocals in a day, put it all together and mixed it. The song describes a ‘love at first connection’ vibe. That feeling you have when you relate to a person instantly without explanation.”

Having carved out their own lane with a unique sound and style, “Swooning On You” looks set to continue the band’s impressive rise. And with more new music to be unveiled in the coming months in the lead-up to their anticipated new album, they are undoubtedly an act to watch out for over the next year. “Swooning On You” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/blakemoji/swooning-on-you

MTS Management Group artists celebrates friendship with new release “A Song for My Friends”

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
