Max Embers Releases Debut EP With Transformative New Single “wildest dreams”

Max Embers is giving us the first release of his upcoming EP idyllwild with the release of his single and music video “wildest dreams”. An unsuspected child of the past year’s pandemic, a need to escape LA, and the building anxiety Embers was experiencing, “wildest dreams” was written after his first night away in an AirBnB trailer. Inspired by a lucid dream, the return of warmth and life to his chest, and “feeling more free than ever,” the single is simultaneously warm, grounded, and airy, full of renewed hope, taking the listener to a new place.

With over 5 million streams on his pre-existing catalog, Embers’ new music is a strong representation of the warmly honest, deeply heartfelt, nature-bound music that Embers has found his voice in. As fans listen to the track, they will float gently above the trees, mountains, and horizon of Idyllwild, CA that inspired Embers’ newest creation. “Getting to finally share “wildest dreams” with the world feels like coming home,” says Embers. “wildest dreams” represents the beginning of a journey—both a literal three-week journey out of LA, and a journey that allowed Max to figuratively go places with his music that he and his imagination never would have gone before. Embers speaks of ‘wildest dreams’ saying:

“It’s a song about giving yourself permission to hope, to dream, to marvel at all that is possible, to trust that you have in you what it takes to achieve everything you’ve ever dreamt of, to remind yourself that there is beauty in the little things in life, to see that maybe real life doesn’t have to be so different from your wildest dreams – a realization that, personally speaking, has freed me in the most unexpected ways.”

As the first single from his upcoming EP Idyllwild, “wildest dreams” is accompanied by a video that is the first peek into a series of diary-style segments recorded by Embers. On a journey to find his voice, Embers invites viewers to experience the discovery of self alongside him with a series of DIY, 90s handheld camcorder style of home videos that shows viewers his perspective in a candid and vulnerable way. The video for “wildest dreams” begins the story with Embers driving up to Idyllwild, moving into the trailer, and spending time up on Inspiration Point during sunset, an overlook at the top of a mountain close to the town. As the journey to the release of the EP progresses fans will get to experience each single visually, making for an incredible representation of the magic Embers found in the California mountains.

Max Embers is an independent singer-songwriter based in Los Angeles, California. Born and raised in a small town in Germany, he won the internationally renowned music competition Jugend Musiziert shortly before graduating from High School.

Since moving to Los Angeles, Max has worked with major label artists like Noah Cyrus, Felix Sandman, Joji, Matoma, Colton Dixon and renowned writers such as Grammy Award winning writers A-Rod Lambert and Anita McCloud.

In 2019, Max was a finalist on the premiere of NBC’s Songland, performing his original song “Back Home” for Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner John Legend and collaborating directly with three time Grammy Award-winning producer Ryan Tedder with whom he co-wrote his single “Lookin’ Up”. In the same year, he partnered up with the British label Frtyfve and the Movember foundation to release two records as part of the ‘Mo Sounds’ initiative. Max’s original music has garnered more than 5 million streams and his debut EP idyllwild is scheduled for summer 2021.

MTS Management Group artists’ latest release, “A Song for My Friends,” is a happy, upbeat song that captures the magic of being together, celebrating, and remembering. The track has a contagious energy that is like the spirit of late-night jam sessions and sing-alongs that happen out of the blue. The production is clean and smooth, but also laid-back.

The tune of “A Song for My Friends” is a toast, and it’s clear what the band wants. A party for the people who have been there since the beginning, the fans who keep coming back, and the nights that artists will never forget that remind them why they fell in love with music in the first place.

“A Song for My Friends” stands out in a world full of overproduced singles because it has heart, energy, and honesty. It’s a moment we shared that I put in a bottle and sent to you with a chorus that you’ll be singing long after the music stops.

Michael Soul hides from being open with new release “Hiding”

Michael Soul’s new single, “Hiding,” is a dark, hypnotic electronic track that takes listeners to a private place in their minds where they are alone, thinking, and feeling upset. “Hiding” was written when the author was very lonely. Michael Soul turns days of being alone, when silence seemed to last forever, and connection seemed impossible, into an immersive sound.

Andrea Mastroiacovo’s polished work makes the single even better, clarifying and deepening the song’s dark mood. The production carefully reflects that emotional weight with simple textures and dark electronic sounds that make you feel like you’re alone with your thoughts.

“Hiding” is a song about feeling alone, scared, and wanting to hide from being open. It asks questions that are quiet but sharp, like why do we hide what we feel? How does fear ruin love? And can we stop going in circles of misunderstanding and emotional distance? These echoes linger long after the track ends, prolonging the sound.
