Devora – Fist Fight

Devora releases her newest single “Fist Fight” which is a confident song dripping with a swagger about standing up for yourself and what you believe in. “Fist Fight” follows her recent new single from “Outlaw”. DEVORA has received acclaim from the likes of Wonderland, LADYGUNN, among many others. She has also been added to popular Spotify playlists such as New Noise and Fierce Femmes. 

A desperado of modern culture, DEVORA, bridges outlaw country melodies with dark pop hooks drawing you into her surrealist western world.

Raised in the desert of Arizona, DEVORA draws her inspiration from her roots, growing up around desert creatures in a western town, experiencing the sinister lawless side of desert life, and the characters she’s met along the way. In her modern goth-western vignettes she conjures images of ghost towns, dark rodeos, the haunted desert, abandoned motel rooms, skylines on fire, the open road, and reckless tales of love and loss in a modern wild west.

A rebel at heart, DEVORA has always taken the road less traveled and her reputation precedes her. Singing and writing since she was a small child, music comes second nature to her, as she was continuously writing short stories and poetry while growing up in a small desert town. Eventually, she began to draw on the stories, encounters, strange themes, and adventures occurring in her life by turning them into songs. With favorite pastimes such as hanging out in graveyards, exploring and traveling to bizarre places (she speaks fluent French and is of 100% Russian descent ), studying medical textbooks and philosophy, DEVORA is an eccentric independent spirit who marches to the beat of her own drum.

Coining the genre, “Outlaw pop”, DEVORA weaves visual soundscapes from a moody surrealist wild-west dream world. Tales of eerie backroad encounters, route 66, neon-laden casinos, Silver City sunsets, and midnight bandits are all intricately enmeshed with strong visceral imagery and cinematic scenes straight out of the ‘dark side’ of the American southwest. Owning the road as her home, DEVORA’s fierce femme fatale spirit trailblazers the way for a new frontier in contemporary culture.

DEVORA is not just music, but an immersive multimedia artistic experience of the Wild West, re-imagined in 2020. It’s not her story, but all of our stories, to choose and be immersed in your own adventure; to harness your own inner outlaw.

BBlue scorches a soulful anthem of survival amid emotional ruin with his newest song, “Unbroken”

BBlue

Unbroken,” the third single from emerging artist BBlue, resonates like a thunderclap of truth for anyone who has ever crawled out of the emotional wreckage of love and heartbreak, only to find themselves still standing strong and ready to rebuild. Inspired by the aftermath of a deteriorating relationship, BBlue delivers a dark yet defiantly vibrant soul-rock anthem that feels both bruised and emotionally gritty, infused with flickering hope. This slow-burning track confronts adversity head-on and refuses to blink. With a dynamic voice that aches and soars in equal measure, paired with guitar tones that sting with honesty, BBlue displays a level of emotional maturity and sonic confidence that is surprisingly sophisticated for a newcomer.

Firstly, “Unbroken” begins with an evocative chord that instantly draws listeners into a soundscape akin to standing in the rain, just long enough to evoke a sense of rejuvenation. Although the composition thematically leans toward darkness, it consistently embodies a spirit of resilience. The atmosphere pulses with unfiltered emotion, much like an intimate journal entry that reveals a level of vulnerability usually kept private. In this moment, BBlue fearlessly belts out this intensity for all to hear.

The poignant lyrics effectively articulate the moment when an individual resolves to leave behind the familiar environment laden with shared memories of love and the emotional uncertainty that has defined his existence. He relinquishes not only the past, but also the burdens that accompanied it. In the phrase “Leaving the conservatory,” he expresses, not merely in a literal sense but metaphorically, the act of stepping out of a space stained by memories to reclaim his voice, lost identity, and inner peace.

What distinguishes “Unbroken” is its authenticity. There’s no melodrama, only unvarnished truth, wrapped in reverb-heavy guitar and a soul-infused vocal delivery that feels lived-in. You believe BBlue when he expresses that he’s been through hardships, and, more importantly, you believe him when he sings that he’s still standing.

In “Unbroken,” BBlue transcends mere lyrical abstraction, manifesting the essence of resilience. It invites audiences to reconsider the notion of being ‘broken’ as merely a transitional phase, proposing instead that being ‘unbroken’ symbolizes a fresh beginning. This track eloquently explores themes of self-worth, encouraging listeners to wear their scars like armor. Ultimately, the song stands as a torchbearer for the healing heart, marking an exhilarating chapter in the rise of a promising new voice in contemporary music.

Vincent J. Rigney lays bare his soulful guilt with the recent single “I Can’t Stand By You”

Vincent J. Rigney

Vincent J. Rigney is not merely an artist engaged in performance; he whispers emotional regret, crafting a tale of heartbreak with striking honesty. In his latest single, “I Can’t Stand By You,” the Corby-born songwriter from Northamptonshire unreservedly revisits the emotional devastation of a fractured relationship, candidly baring his sentiments through a somber fusion of blues and alt-rock anthems. The composition possesses an unrefined, relatable, and ultimately forging emotional connection with listeners, one that resonates profoundly.

The track, lifted from his third EP, ‘Rocky Road,’ is characterized by its authenticity. Listeners can perceive the grit and resilience inherent in Rigney’s steel town origins through every note, with his raspy vocals riding alongside haunting guitar lines that echo long after the track ends. The production is minimal but purposeful, allowing the song’s emotional weight to take precedence. Rigney doesn’t disguise his pain behind metaphors; instead, he confronts the painful dissolution of his relationship with stark clarity, engaging in a broader discourse on the valuable lessons learned and a moment of self-awareness when the decision to let go becomes paramount.

I Can’t Stand By You” feels like a late-night correspondence that was never intended for public consumption. There’s a discernible suspense in his lyrical delivery, as if he’s caught between bitterness and heartbreak, and it’s this vulnerability that captivates the audience. The collaborative spirit of the song, recorded with local and UK artists, further enriches its depth, grounding it in a communal sense of loss and introspection. It resonates particularly with anyone who has had to let go of someone they loved for the sake of their peace.

This work goes beyond the realm of a conventional breakup ballad; it serves as a blues-laced reckoning, delivered by Rigney with a genuine soul that cannot be faked. If ‘Rocky Road’ is a cartographic depiction of Vincent J. Rigney’s artistic evolution, “I Can’t Stand By You” emerges as one of its most poignant mile markers.

In certain instances, the complexities of love don’t simply fade away; they leave an enduring imprint. Through this single, “I Can’t Stand By You,” Rigney masterfully encapsulates the full spectrum of emotional struggle, illustrating that most impactful music doesn’t demand attention; rather, it subtly ensnares the listener’s consciousness, making it an enthralling addition to any discerning enthusiast’s playlist.
