Eylsia Nicolas transforms apocalypse into a dance anthem with “Not Gonna End Very Well mix”

Eylsia Nicolas, a first-generation American songwriter of Irish-Filipino extraction, has done it again with her latest single, “Not Gonna End Very Well mix.” This is an anthem for the apocalypse, reminding you that if everything’s doomed to end, you might as well dance through the destruction.

There’s a cheeky sarcasm running through the track, but beneath that is her trademark emotional depth. The song has that rare quality of making you smile and ponder simultaneously, transforming the idea of doom into a cause for celebration, even if only for life’s ephemeral nature. It’s fun, it’s ironic, and it’s Eylsia.

This release is poignant, as it has been a massive season for the artist. In addition to releasing this single, Nicolas has been working on a book that will follow her life story, and the possibility of it being made into a film is also being considered. Her story, which involves a signature resilience and the struggles facing her distinct cultural heritage, resonates in every note and lyric. “Not Gonna End Very Well mix” is a philosophical statement that embraces life’s unpredictability and transforms hardship into art.

This is another example of Eylsia Nicolas’ fearlessness as an artist who doesn’t shy away from blending humor and heart into her work while also connecting with her roots. Between the beats, the laughs, and the narrative itself, this single offers an experience you won’t soon forget, no matter how hard you try to ignore it. On “Not Gonna End Very Well mix,“ the world may be ending, but not before a party, courtesy of Eylsia Nicolas.

BuYufu turns the symptoms of love into a soul-filled dance with “Side Effects May Include”

In “Side Effects May Include,” BuYufu has made the irrational symptoms of hopelessly falling in love playful and highly musical. Love’s a hell of a drug, and it has some weird side effects. Missed calls, dancing on the spot, and acting completely out of character. It’s a simple idea, but the track really brings it to life.

It’s written as a song for a 70s soul club performance, influenced by crossover soul, northern soul, Afro-Cuban soul, and Latin soul. Horns, strings, shuffle guitar, Latin percussion, Hammond organ, and an active drum break surround the song’s central feeling. The arrangement keeps the song feeling lively, but the vintage influence is very clear.

“Side Effects May Include,” has subtle callbacks for those who have been following the project. This connection gives the song a sense of finality. It’s warm, raw, and deliberately human in its subject matter, capturing the odd thrill of love while showing how an old-school soul feeling can still speak naturally to the present.
