Doey turns heartbreak into sound with new single “BYE US”

Long Island-bred artist Doey releases his new single “BYE US,” an honest solo-cut about breaking up. Unlike the glossy breakup anthems that tend to dominate the airwaves, Doey’s track sounds more like you’re sitting in on someone’s deepest thought patterns, and it’s messy and real and all too human.

Inspired by the cloud-rap scene, psychedelic rock, and experimental indie, Doey effortlessly melts genres to create a sound that’s both spacey and grounded. “BYE US” ripples over ethereal beats as layers of instrumentation envelop you in a contemplative, almost dreamlike state. The song tells you about heartbreak and makes you feel it. “BYE US” is an audio imagery of love gone bad, regret, and finally acceptance.

This one track alone identifies Doey as an artist not afraid to show and express openness while also challenging the limits of today’s indie meets rap sound. Genre-bending music lovers will be entranced by the eerie tunes and honest lyrics in the song, while new listeners are introduced to a voice that is much more genuine to listen to than the overly processed ones we typically hear. In “BYE US,” Doey demonstrates that heartbreak is the ultimate transformer and engine of art because sometimes the most personal experiences yield the most universal outcomes.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 confront political leadership on latest release “Na Dem”

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80‘s latest release, “Na Dem” ft. Tom Morello, is about politicians who don’t keep their promise to make the nation better as the song goes. Instead of relegating that subject to the background the song brings that subject to the forefront of its message.

The result is music for music’s sake and for the culture and political-art crowd where sound and subject are one. It is about the negative consequences of a political leadership that does not fulfil its responsibilities. So “Na Dem” is very social in purpose but it does not divorce the message from the music itself.

The collaboration with Tom Morello adds another flavour to the release, but the heart of the track is Seun Kuti & Egypt 80. “Na Dem” is built on a simple idea, that music can push back against the realities people face and it’s able to make difficult issues a public matter. It’s a release of music that is not just another one, with a political flavour especially for those who look for music that links culture with social commentary.
