NYC Band Blak Emoji Share New Single “Swooning On You”
NYC Band Blak Emoji Share New Single “Swooning On You”.
Fronted by singer, producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Kelsey Warren, NYC band Blak Emoji have shared their latest single, “Swooning On You”. Having built a following and received critical acclaim for their previous work over the last few years, the band’s self-produced and independently released new track is another impressive entry into their growing discography. It follows “Mechanism”, which was released earlier this year, and precedes the band’s forthcoming album due for release in October.
Playing drums since the age of 5 and guitar and piano since the age of 12, Kelsey showcases his full production range on “Swooning On You”, expertly and seamlessly blending together R&B, soul, electronic and pop – i.e. all the sounds he was immersed in throughout his childhood growing up in South Jersey – with a fresh and modern twist. “I was working on this beat in Logic on and off for a few weeks”, says Kelsey. “I had the drum pattern and bassline down but went back and forth experimenting with sounds and ambient textures for quite a while.
“The lyrics were inspired by a recent conversation, and once the lyrical lightbulb turned on, the melody came out of nowhere. I completed the music, recorded the vocals in a day, put it all together and mixed it. The song describes a ‘love at first connection’ vibe. That feeling you have when you relate to a person instantly without explanation.”
Having carved out their own lane with a unique sound and style, “Swooning On You” looks set to continue the band’s impressive rise. And with more new music to be unveiled in the coming months in the lead-up to their anticipated new album, they are undoubtedly an act to watch out for over the next year. “Swooning On You” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/blakemoji/swooning-on-you
Live dates: Rockwood Music Hall, 2/10/21

Vincent J. Rigney unveils the emotions of digital heartbreak with his recent single “Ghosting”
“Ghosting,” the latest single by Vincent J. Rigney, feels like an intimate sonic confession reflecting modern heartbreak’s complexities. The UK-based musician employs a soulful rasp in his vocals, imbuing the track with a sense of vulnerability. As the concluding single from his second EP, ‘Steel Town Boy,’ “Ghosting” delves into the quiet devastation of a friendship that gradually dissipates into digital obscurity, leaving behind unanswered messages and unresolved questions.
Rigney’s songwriting is razor-sharp yet incisive and poetically engaging, effectively depicting a relationship in which two individuals who once shared everything but now exist as strangers within the digital realm. His delivery embodies a profound emotional weight, encompassing feelings of frustration, confusion, and a tinge of longing intricately woven into the fabric of musical composition. It transcends the theme of lost friendships to explore the psychological impact of being left behind without explanation. The melody, enriched with alternative rock textures and bluesy undercurrents, perfectly underscores the song’s exploration of emotional absence.
What distinguishes “Ghosting” apart is its honest depiction of digital disconnection. Recorded in his hometown of Corby, Northants, the song benefits from the collaborative synergy of local musicians, adding an organic vibe to the beautiful arrangement. Rigney’s commanding stage presence has already earned him a burgeoning fanbase, illustrating the enduring impact of authenticity in musical expression.
The track encapsulates the loneliness and intricacies inherent in contemporary relationships while remaining anchored in the timeless struggles of the human experience. Through “Ghosting,” Vincent J. Rigney articulates the sensation of void and elicits its emotional resonance.
