The song features soothing vocals that connect with the struggle of still caring about someone even after you thought you had moved on. “This song came from a place of deep reflection,” Aberson explains. “It’s about those surprising moments when you think you’ve stopped feeling something for someone, and suddenly, it hits you again.” That’s the beauty of this track. The title represents a feeling we’ve all experienced, perhaps one we’ve tried to ignore. The song embraces this vulnerability with a quiet strength, supported by Aberson’s steady drumming and a soulful style that ensures every note is meaningful. Fans of artists like D’Angelo, Jordan Rakei, and Moonchild will vibe with this sound.

Having collaborated with emerging singers like Nariah Taylor and Korey Keys, Aberson has created a distinctive space for music that resonates on an emotional level.

Ewulf crank it up with the pounding latest release “Shutting It Down”
Ewulf’s latest release, “Shuttin It Down” has that kind of energy that’s meant to get attention from the jump. The song is produced with a heavy hip-hop beat and an R&B crossover hook that’s all about a hyped, high energy vibe. The result is a throbbing dose of movement to the track, offsetting the weight of its production with a smooth, R&B-inflected hook.
One of the more obvious strengths of “Shuttin It Down” is the production. The heavy kick gives the track a solid rhythmic base and the catchy synths give a memorable element to the sound. All of these things add up to a production that is direct and energetic but does not lose the melodic side brought in by the crossover hook.
“Shuttin It Down” performs the most basic of musical magic, it generates energy in the room. Ewulf merges the power of hip-hop production with the softer sound of an R&B hook to create a track all about the momentum. The heavy kick is the backbone of the rhythm and the synth work gives the track a more melodic feel.

MIVA unveils a soft texture with an unexpected grit on latest release “Do You”
“Do You,” an alternative R&B track, evokes a compelling sense of motion, MIVA, one that finds itself comfortably between familiar textures and surprising production choices. The Montreal-based artist, producer, songwriter, and visual artist considers music part of a larger world where sound, fashion, and cinematic storytelling converge.
The production doesn’t want to stay still, not least through the saxophone, which gradually mutates into something like an electric guitar. It’s an odd detail that gives the arrangement an evolving character without detracting from its alternative R&B foundation. Vocal fry adds an unexpected metal influence to the track, adding some grit and tension below the softer textures.
MIVA allows different influences to coexist in the same space rather than being defined by a single, obvious musical direction. The result is a very identity-driven track, with a hypnotic rhythm, expressive vocals, and production choices that keep the listener on their toes throughout. “Do You” is a showcase of MIVA as an artist who is unafraid to explore the space between softness and intensity, offering an alternative R&B experience with its own character.
