Hello there, welcome to Honk Magazine. Can you tell our readers about what really inspired you to write music?

Yvng Sammie – What really inspired me to write music was the life experiences I had growing up. I feel like everyone has a story and this was the best way to express my emotions and people can definitely relate to my sounds. If you have an ear for music you’ll know what I’m telling you lyrically.

 

When did you realize you were going to make music professionally?

Yvng Sammie – I realized I was going to make music professionally when the music/artists I would dance to, some videos would be copyrighted; so when I go and film these videos and get ready to post, it would get taken down shortly after. I immediately told myself I can’t be creating all this sauce for nothing. So I started making what I would like to hear and what I believe my supporters from dancing would want to hear.

Tell us what is so unique about you and your music?

Yvng Sammie – What’s unique about me and my music is that I’m all self-taught and I’m also a dancer. I never took dance classes or music classes. I’m very dedicated to what I believe and I can do. Manifestation also goes very far.

 

Can you share a story about the funniest mistake you made when you were first starting? Can you tell us what lesson you learned from that?

Yvng Sammie – I think the funniest mistake that happened while I was creating was recording myself in the studio for content and my engineer was so gone off shrooms he looked at me, paused the music and said my bad then played it again. 

 

Can you tell us about your latest releases and what inspired you to create them?

Yvng Sammie – My latest single “Lips Tattoo” is about an individual I thought I’d marry frfr but now I’m focused on the bag. I’m a star player so I can’t be mixing with the benchwarmers.

Can you give us a brief insight about your upcoming projects?

Yvng Sammie – My first album “CAIRO” drops on my birthday this year, August 24th. this album has a lot of truth, pain, good times and bad times dedicated to this project. I believe this project is better than my EP but I’ll let the fans decide.

 

What do you wish you were told when you first started making music that you think would help artists just starting out?

Yvng Sammie – Once you release your first single, don’t dwell on the numbers. Keep releasing and people will eventually have to tap in to what you’re on to. Consistency is key.

Which tips would you recommend to your colleagues in your industry to help them to thrive and not “burn out”?

Yvng Sammie – The best thing you can do in this game is be real. If you’re in it for the clout, open doors and opportunities. You’ve already failed.

 

What do you do when you don’t do music (creative or otherwise) and that you are passionate about?

Yvng Sammie – When I don’t do music I’m always dancing, the ladies love that.

 

Any last piece of advice for those artists who just started making music?

Yvng Sammie – I believe your first 10 records should be singles, no features unless it’s your bae then that’s different, but if you want people to know you; they have to keep seeing your name.

David Cloyd triumphantly returns with a reflective new album, “Red Sky Warning”

David Cloyd

David Cloyd, a seasoned artist whose creative luminescence has only intensified over his career, makes a noteworthy re-entry following a decade-long hiatus with an emotionally resonant and musically sophisticated new album, “Red Sky Warning,” released via ECR Music Group. This album marks his reintroduction to the music scene as he aims to reclaim the spotlight. Co-produced and mixed by the acclaimed indie architect Blake Morgan (known for his work with Lenny Kravitz, Lesley Gore, and Janita), the masterful ten-track album encapsulates a significant evolution in Cloyd’s sonic profile, where intricate craftsmanship meets intense emotional exposition.

Spanning ten compelling tracks, “Red Sky Warning” is a profound exploration of openness, identity, and the intimacy of human connection. The very first notes of the opener, Ocean of Hours,” envelops listeners in a euphoric wave of melody, with the magic of Cloyd’s lyricism resonating like heartbeats, consistently engaging while maintaining a clear direction. This immersive tone sets the stage for a record that demands to be felt as much as it is heard.

It is followed spontaneously byIf We Could Escape,” the second track, delving into themes of emotional ambivalence and quiet longing for escapism. Its soulful balm and shimmering aura capture the ache of unspoken truths, laying bare the intimate confessions Cloyd expresses through his signature vocal warmth and layered instrumentation. Each hypnotic rhyme that follows builds on this honesty, embracing a therapeutic narrative of accepting imperfection.

In the third track,The Day Before,” a contemplative light emerges as Cloyd masterfully blends soul-pop sensibility with mature finesse. It evokes the quiet anticipation that precedes change, revealing Cloyd’s ability to distill quotidian experiences into a resonant metaphor. Conversely, A Far Cry From Nothing presents a robust rhythmic foundation that underscores lyrical potency, driven by piano-centric confidence and heartfelt phrasing that illuminate emotional resilience. InCage of Water,” Cloyd adeptly navigates the emotional landscape through an audacious sonic tapestry that reflects the fluidity of love’s ever-changing tides. This piece captures the inherent unpredictability of romantic experiences, evoking a captivating composition that accentuates its dynamism. The ambientDrive With Me employs lush ambient textures to guide listeners through reflective pathways, invoking the nuances of nostalgic relationships and emotional bonds often left unarticulated.

Into The Sea dazzles with melancholic elegance, threading love and mystery into a cohesive storytelling framework. Subsequent tracks, such as Climbing Ivy,” maintain this thematic momentum, focusing on unity and the complexities inherent in celebrating brotherhood and kinship through a storytelling lens steeped in poetic nuance.Small Wooden Boat offers a poignant reflection on the past, emphasizing rediscovery and personal growth while capturing the bittersweet clarity that revisiting old memories often brings. The album culminates with the stunning trackWalk the Earth,” a soul-stirring finale that lingers in the heart of listeners long after its chords fade. Cloyd’s use of tremulous vibrato and unwavering vocal performance echoes the weight of lived experience, providing a fitting closure to an album that’s both a personal manifesto and a universal commentary.

Each composition sequentially builds upon the previous one, thereby enhancing the thematic essence of “Red Sky Warning” and symbolizing not only a reawakening but also a rebirth for David Cloyd. His distinctive vocal style as a singer and songwriter approach draws comparisons to notable figures such as Jeff Buckley, Nick Drake, and Peter Gabriel while remaining distinctly his own. With this release, Cloyd effectively positions introspection at the forefront of his artistry, transforming emotional vulnerability into a cathartic experience. This meticulously curated body of work serves as a testament to David Cloyd’s enduring musical vision, establishing it as a timeless addition to any music aficionado’s collection. “Red Sky Warning” is essential for those seeking genuine artistry that transcends genre and invites listeners on an evocative expedition of heartfelt optimism and recuperation.
