Devon – Heavy Is The Crown

Devon gives you musical brilliance with his new song “Heavy Is The Crown”. In this record, he gives you three minutes of true audio bliss, with everything clicking together to make one cohesive genius-level sound. The production is amazing in its approach to capturing emotion, while the lyrics and vocal performance guide you the rest of the way, for what is an epic adventure of music.

Devon describes the single “HEAVY IS THE CROWN” as a song he laid the foundation for while in the hospital. “The song is really about human utilization, and how energy is transferred through love. Even when I took the time to mix the record, I wanted to feel as if I was presenting a new form of physics. The swelling of the synths in the background of the record created a texture that was somber, while the bouncing of the drums I created was just the stepping stairs for my vocals to slide on, while the overall brick walling of the track was the horizon from the brightest sun. That pretty much sums up how I feel about the track.

The reality of the track is that I was in a lot of pain when I created it. I’m still suffering and recovering from Guillain-Barre, and every chance I get to make music is one of the most painful experiences ever. All of the music you hear from me comes from the severe pain and anguish I am feeling while trying to create happy vibes. This is why I say my music is just the soundtrack or background music of those people’s lives. So when you hear that phrase ” do you really think you’re special baby” I want you to feel isolated and realize that I’m asking you that question, not the fictional lady who is actually a spider” – Devon.

Devon’s “Heavy Is The Crown” is an incredible piece of art that, shows what happens when artists dare to be great in their music while telling a story. This artist gives you all he has on this new song and that’s beyond enough, as they give you true musicianship that you have to be a witness to.

Martin Lloyd Howard channels nature in acoustic track “Rapids”

Martin Lloyd Howard’s recent single, “Rapids,” is a masterclass in acoustic storytelling that blends technicality with atmosphere. Originally a left-hand dexterity exercise, it devolves into full-bodied guitar playing that suggests the flow of water up and down a river, from foamy rapids to quiet pools, just as nature itself moves.

Howard’s classical training is evidenced by the precision of his fingerwork, and his interest in folk, blues, and rock brings a warm, natural depth to the performance. His guitar solo arrangement also illustrates how he can convey emotion without lyrics. He employs variations in tempo and phrasing to suggest the erratic dynamics of rushing water, only then allowing the melody to relax into quieter, more meditative spaces.

The music is dynamic and soothing at the same time, making you feel like you are on an adventure and thinking things through. “Rapids” stands as evidence of Martin Lloyd Howard’s versatility and imagination. It’s good for those who enjoy acoustic guitar playing or music that falls between raw virtuosity and emotional resonance. It’s an opportunity to focus, slow down, and find your way into the river of sound he has lovingly crafted.
