Rapper SEVNTEEN Commands Attention On New Single “Sky High”

SEVNTEEN is a dynamic artist determined to make an imprint on the rap scene. His natural swagger commands attention while his music delivers distinctive energy, as he effortlessly flows over production consisting of big synths and hard-hitting drums. Having signed with Babygrande Records, he’s made a strong first impression with the release of his first official track and music video, “Sky High“, which serves as the lead single for his upcoming album, XVII.

Directed by GT films, the video for “Sky High” sees SEVNTEEN and his classmates re-create a raucous school day. Despite the chaos on the school bus and in the school’s hallways, his calm, laid back demeanor proves to be a fixating aspect of the video. In less than a week, the video reached over 170,000 views and proved to be a stellar debut for the young, talented artist.

“Sky High” is about reaching new heights,” the 19-year-old artist explains. “It’s also about having fun, and I had a lot of fun creating this song. I was sky high when I made it. The whole purpose of the track is to create a different vibe and that’s what I did here. The video is amazing. The shoot process was a surreal experience. Shout out to GT Films because they did their thing. I’m excited for everyone to see it. It’s amazing to see all the hard work I’ve put in come to life.”

The track and visual complement each other very well: SEVNTEEN’s inspired on-screen performance drives the track to new heights. He’s found a way to blend current aesthetics to create a unique style; the product is an enticing image for fans and listeners to grasp onto. As an artist who’s at the forefront of rap’s new sound and style, SEVNTEEN is positioned to make a grand entrance with “Sky High”.

Aaron Koenig and Nectaria mirror each other in new song “Love Yourself!”

Aaron Koenig’s latest single, “Love Yourself!” takes listeners on a heartfelt journey of self-reflection. This is the first time in his career that he shares lead vocals. Aaron and French singer Nectaria turn a simple idea, talking to your reflection in the mirror, into a funny but very moving musical conversation. “I first wrote the lyrics as a conversation between me and my reflection,” Aaron says. “But that felt a little self-centered. I asked my friend Nectaria to be the mirror, and it worked out much better.

Aaron wrote it while he was in a Berlin Airport detention cell for a night due to a court mistake. “I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong, but being in a prison cell still made me a little scared.” He remembers saying, “So the best thing I could do to stay in a good mood was to write a song about loving myself.” That raw feeling comes through in every note, which gives the song its honest, soul-stirring depth.

The song “Love Yourself!” is a soul ballad with expressive piano by Nicolás López Soto, from Argentina, who wrote and produced it. The song was recorded at Studio Constituyentes in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. It combines intimate instruments with cinematic storytelling to make a space where people can think, smile, and finally love themselves a little more.

The Real Mack The Knife celebrates where love and dance meet on “Santorini Agapi”

The Real Mack The Knife’s latest single, “Santorini Agapi,” is a dance song that feels less like a club record and more like a trip to a specific place and time. From the very first seconds, the listener is taken to a terrace in Santorini after midnight. The sea stretches out into the dark below volcanic cliffs, and the whitewashed walls still feel warm from the day.

A crash cymbal that sounds like a wave hitting stone opens the song, setting the mood right away. Then comes the clear, shimmering voice of a bouzouki, a bold and new choice in a genre usually full of faceless synth lines and predictable percussion loops. It’s a musical choice that subtly reveals what the song is about: dance music rooted in culture, memory, and place.

When the chorus comes in, “Santorini Agapi,” love in the night burning so bright, it sounds like a real anthem. The moment is perfect for people to raise their hands, sing together, and feel the warmth of a crowd moving together under the stars. The Real Mack The Knife makes more than just a dance track with “Santorini Agapi.” He makes a vivid sound postcard that combines rhythm, place, and emotion into a celebration of love, night, and the timeless magic of the Greek islands.
