Abril Spring Shares Captivating New Single “Cure”

Rising alternative rap artist Abril Spring has returned with her brand-new single, “Cure”. Born and raised in Barcelona, Spain, Abril made her impactful debut earlier this year with single “Free The Sex”, which introduced the world to her unique and unapologetic brand of hip-hop/rap, and “Cure” looks set to continue her growing momentum. The track is taken from the independent artist’s upcoming debut album, which is due for release early next year.

With Abril’s transparent and conversational music style shining through, “Cure” immediately commands attention. With the subject matter discussing drug addiction in a toxic relationship, Abril begins the song with the inquiring rhetorical question: “Isn’t it funny? Most of our problems and discussions are caused by the same exact thing that ends up solving them.” Aside from the impressive lyricism and storytelling, Abril’s flow and energy on the track is equally impressive, resulting in a song that offers endless replay value and definitively marks Abril Spring out as one to watch.

Elaborating further on the new release, Abril says, “‘Cure’ is a very personal song for me. I wrote it in a really intense and confusing time of my life and, just like with all the album, it helped me express, organise and understand my thoughts and emotions at the time. ‘Cure’ is about drug addiction in a toxic relationship and about how you can either choose to face reality for better or for worse or to escape it at all costs.”

Offering something fresh, diverse and different to the norm, Abril Spring is a great addition to the hip-hop/rap scene, and it’s clear from “Cure” that the rising talent has an exciting future ahead. And with her debut album already complete and ready to be unveiled in 2022, expect to see and hear plenty more from Abril over the next year. “Cure” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://abrilspring.lnk.to/cure.

Album Review

Paul Terry, Aptøsrs & Cellarscape unite on bold new album “Alternative Piano Club”

Combining his three artistic alter egos, Paul Terry presents an awe-inspiring new 12-track album, “Alternative Piano Club,” written in collaboration with Aptøsrs and Cellarscape. This is an album-length voyage of music that blends acoustic, rock, and piano-driven cinematic sounds.

Torn between this complex emotional spectrum, all the while the piano remains at its core throughout. Paul Terry opens his “Memento Mori (Chromogenic Phase)” contemplatively, creating a solemn, reflective mood. Cellarscape’s “Three Years Of Roses“ is warmer, whereas Aptøsrs’ “Questionnaires“ is much more textured as a large, sculptural post-rock.

“Dave’s Theme,” written by Paul Terry, musically expands the narrative with a touch of cinematic elevation that aligns well. “We Shape The Clouds” by Cellarscape is fluffy and heart-warming, “Writers Behind The Curtain” is somber, more narrative. We are all together in “A Place We Made,” an honest, intimate, emotionally grounded space.

The project contains vocal warmth and cultural depth in the song “This Is My Home“ by Silas Miami & Lana Crowster. Proceeding in a totally different direction is the stronger emotional clarity of Paul Terry’s acoustic storytelling on “Any Time You Want To Fly” and “No Sleep Has Come.” Cellarscape presents a wide, spacious atmospheric moment in “Cygnus,” while Aptøsrs ends with “Rust Mountain (Monochrome Piano Version),” a simple gem that brings the project full circle.

The mixing of Sam Okell and Adam Noble, the mastering of Alex Wharton and Robin Schmidt have, in many ways, brought their polish to it while still making it feel human. “Alternative Piano Club” is a work entity, where three musical personalities met and talk mind in the same emotional language.
