Jasmine Armando – 2Many.raw

Aged 22, Jasmine moved to Paris in September 2017 after growing up in Marrakech. Attracted to writing and music from a young age, Jasmine tried her hand at many artistic practices, beginning film directing studies at EICAR before taking various theater and film courses, which led her to play the lead role in a feature film in Morocco and to direct three short films.

Upon her arrival in Paris, Jasmine turned to music, her first love, and, through various encounters, began recording a large number of demos, mainly influenced by American hip-hop (Mac Miller, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler The Creator) and by current urban pop (Frank Ocean, 070Shake…).

Discovered by chance by Cheers Mgmt (Thomas Soligny/Pierre Lautier), Jasmine met Lorent Idir (member of the group Twin Twin, producer and musical editor (SPNG Records // SQUID), who took her under his wing and accompanied her in the writing of her first tracks and in the setting up of arrangements.

Several tracks were recorded with the help of producer Ezhen and mixed in New York by Ben Fusel at Manhattan Beach Recording. After various snippets in the summer of 2020, and three singles released in 2021, “2Many.raw” (released on 17.12) is the fourth single from Jasmine Armando.

In January 2022 Jasmine will record her first EP. Jasmine Armando has just finished filming season 2 of the successful British series “Gangs of London”, in which she plays an important character. The track is accompanied by a video directed by Fly Corcel.

“Young Man” by Highrise echoes soul-stirring lessons from the flames of his past

Produced entirely from his home studio in Kansas City, Highrise crafts chapters of life experiences, transforming into the spotlight with “Young Man,” a song that sparks an open conversation we all recognize but often try to forget. This rap-rock anthem features smooth guitar arpeggios woven together with clean vocals, modern hip-hop drums, and hard-won wisdom that resonates with emotion and intention.

At first listen, “Young Man” radiates like one part heartfelt advice tossed to the wind, a cautionary tale directed at the younger men of the next generation as they navigate chaos. But dig a little deeper, and it’s revealed this song is a mirror reflecting Highrise’s own younger self, haunted by the echoes of choices made and paths taken. The production balances rawness and refinement, giving the track a lived-in yet polished musical quality.

Vocally, Highrise shines with a melodic and emotionally charged delivery, comfortably occupying a sonic space that fans of MGK, Bryce Vine, or Ryan Caraveo will find familiar, yet it feels uniquely his own. The standout bridge hits hard: “Take it from me, I’ve been down this road…” a poetic gut-punch for anyone who’s been too stubborn to listen before learning the hard way.

Inspired partly by his late grandfather, the track carries a weight of generational reflection. It tiptoes through the complexities of enduring legacy and shifting perspectives with age, acknowledging the scars of youthful mistakes while nodding to the lessons passed down. “Young Man” doesn’t preach; it empathizes, and humility makes it particularly impactful. It is an anthem for anyone who looks back at their younger self and wishes they could whisper, “Slow down.”

Highrise has established his influence in making music and building a legacy, one brutally honest track at a time, telling truths that echo long after the song ends.

Noah Zayden releases a new single “Fuego”

With “Fuego,” Zayden turns the tables. It’s still personal, still vulnerable, but this time the narrative moves toward hope. Inspired by the realness of heartbreak and the fear of love lost, Fuego is like watching emotional armor slowly melt. The beat is subdued but warm, and his vocal delivery has a fragility that makes every line sound confessional.

It’s not only how to fall in love, it’s also how to learn to trust again after being burned. There’s something beautiful about that vulnerability, something powerful about electing to jump anyway. “Fuego” just speaks the truth. And in its simplicity, it glows bright.
