Harmony Dreamers’ “Spinning Round The Sun”: A Solar Powered Journey Through the Pandemic

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted almost every aspect of our lives, and the music industry is no exception. Amidst the chaos, Harmony Dreamers, an up-and-coming indie rock project, have released their debut album, “I Come From Earth,” which includes their new single trilogy, “Spinning Round the Sun.” Imbued with themes of hope, resilience, and unity, this record offers listeners a cosmic journey through the pandemic, shedding light on the power of music to lift our spirits and bring us together.

Formed in 2019, Harmony Dreamers is a musical collective, led by Byron Lee Scott, made up of multi-talented songwriters and musicians hailing from across the globe. Despite facing the challenges brought by the pandemic, the project has continued to flourish, using this time to create and innovate. Their new album, “Spinning Round the Sun,” offers an evocative blend of indie folk, rock, and dreamy pop sounds, bound to transport its listeners to another world.

Drawing inspiration from an array of musical influences, including Fleet Foxes, Sufjan Stevens, and Bon Iver, Harmony Dreamers have crafted a distinct sound that captures the essence of their diverse backgrounds. The album’s eclectic mix of styles encapsulates the feelings of uncertainty and isolation that have become all too familiar during the pandemic, while also offering a sense of hope and optimism for a brighter future.

Each track of this new single trilogy presents its own unique soundscape, with influences ranging from the ethereal tones of Sigur Rós to the indie-folk stylings of The Lumineers. Throughout “Spinning Round the Sun,” the band’s musical influences are masterfully interwoven, showcasing their ability to create a cohesive and captivating narrative through the power of song.

One standout aspect of the single, and album as a whole, is the band’s innovative use of solar power to fuel their creativity. By harnessing the sun’s energy, Harmony Dreamers were able to record their album off-grid, supporting their mission to create music that is both environmentally conscious and spiritually uplifting. This green approach to recording further underlines the cosmic theme that permeates their debut release.

A striking feature of “Spinning Round the Sun” is the band’s intricate instrumentation, combining an array of musical instruments and modern production techniques. Harmony Dreamers mastery of their craft, coupled with their innovative approach to recording, solidifies their status as a boundary-pushing force within the music industry.

As the world continues to grapple with the ongoing effects of the pandemic, it’s clear that the music industry has a vital role to play in providing solace and connection. Through their unique blend of genres and innovative recording methods, Harmony Dreamers have demonstrated the power of music to uplift, inspire, and unite us all. As we continue to navigate these uncertain times, the cosmic sounds of Harmony Dreamers serve as a much-needed reminder that there’s always light to be found, even in the darkest of days.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
