Odd Numbers & WALLFELLA New Track Released – Step Back
Wallfella Observes a Failing System on Latest Odd Numbers Production Following their upbeat collaboration on the producer’s debut album last summer, Wallfella, and Odd Numbers reconnect to examine Irish politics, the mental health system, and the pursuit of happiness.
With Covid still looming two years on from the first nationwide lockdown, “Step Back” speaks to the less obvious pandemics currently affecting the country: rising suicide rates; crippling austerity measures; and fear-mongering within the Irish news outlets.
The track is a plea for those who make the big decisions to “take a step back” and look at the bigger picture, instead of focusing solely on one problem. As the pandemic wears on, the nation’s stripped-back and underfunded public health measures exposed many people to experiencing situations linked to poor mental health, such as isolation, bereavement, and job loss.
The song reflects on this and questions why many of these issues were ignored. Wallfella: “It’s a reflection of the last two years during the pandemic. It focuses on the media’s portrayal of what’s been going on, whilst highlighting the complete lack of awareness of other problems that have struck the world; the main one being the number of people that have taken their own lives due to the restrictions”.
The single marks the second co-release between the producer and rapper, having previously worked together on the closing track of Odd Number’s collaborative debut album, ‘The Golden Éire Tapes Vol. 1’. Odd Numbers: “It feels like a companion track to ‘Blue’ in a lot of ways.
Both were made under very similar circumstances yet portray completely contrasting messages. There’s a familiar duality between the tension and anxiety felt in “Step Back”, and the summery optimism of ‘Blue’.”
Honk Magazine’s Opinion: Really, this album tells the story of what Covid pandemic has done to society. We will share this on our site.
Odd Numbers works best on Chill hip-hop, Hip-hop, Rap in English, R&B, Trap Authentic, Chill, Contemporary, Good vibes, Lo-fi, Meaningful lyrics, Original, & Underground.
Available on Spotify, International potential, Strong social media presence, Supported artist, Unsigned artist, Upcoming project, & Young talents.

Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures unveils a big record on a small budget with “The Sun Shone Down”
Kenton Hall and The Necessary Measures‘ latest release, “The Sun Shone Down,” is a huge track and proudly wears independent artistry. Conceived to make a “big record on a small budget,” the track shows how imagination and passion can outweigh studio costs. Each layer, strings, horns, keys, choirs, creates a cinematic yet emotional sound.
The philosophy behind “The Sun Shone Down” is intriguing. Kenton Hall embraces limitations, making collaboration and creativity the currency of the song. The music evokes gratitude. That reflects the amazing people and artistic relationships that shaped the record. It is ambitious for spectacle and emotional impact.
Hall writes songs about the unspoken emotions people feel, conflict, hope, longing, and survival. That authenticity gives the track weight beyond the lush instrumentation. More than just a great sound. Feeling great. Kenton Hall & The Necessary Measures’ personal and expansive song is born of emotional honesty and a richly layered production, reminding us that belief, not budgets, powers some of the biggest records.

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.
