The Amazing Broken Man – Inlanders

The Amazing Broken Man drops a new song “Inlanders”. The Amazing Broken Man is a project by Brazilian singer-songwriter Odorico Leal (1983). The artist had two songs featured on the British TV series Skins: Near Town and New Year Son. After a long hiatus, the artist released his old tracks on Spotify in 2020; die-hard fans of Skins took notice, and an audience began to grow from that. Since then, he has recorded and released three new singles: At Your Feet (2020), 1983 (2021), and Inlanders (2021).

The songs rely on interesting finger-picking patterns and bittersweet melodies to bring forth an eerie musical landscape. Nick Drake and Caetano Veloso are obvious influences for 1983; in Inlanders, his latest single, besides some Elliott Smith echos, the artist pursues a soundscape closer to Clube da Esquina, a 1972 record by Brazilian legends Milton Nascimento and Lô Borges. The unsigned artist currently lives in São Paulo and is working on his first full-length album.

Leyla Romanova finds strength in silence on new release “Self-Control”

Leyla Romanova‘s new single, “Self-Control,” is a powerful emotional release that feels more like a manifesto for surviving modern chaos than a song. In a world of opinions, urgency, and emotional exhaustion, Romanova offers a track based on one radical idea: not reacting.

“Self-Control” immediately creates tension and clarity. The drums keep everything together with discipline and purpose. As the textured instrumentals expand like waves of thought through a crowded mind, the bass anchors the listener emotionally.

The contrast between outside noise and inside stillness makes the song compelling. Romanova’s work captures the feeling of being overwhelmed by pressure, opinions, and distractions while silently retaining personal peace. There are no major uprisings. But restraint is power. The song knows energy conservation is a survival strategy.
