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.”

Jeff Vidov elevates orchestral rock ambition on latest release “Signs of Life”

Jeff Vidov

Jeff Vidov returns with “Signs of Life,” a powerful new single that reflects the depth of his compositional experience while embracing the expansive energy of a summer rock anthem. Marking his sixteenth musical release, the Canadian-born pianist and composer blends the grandeur of a full orchestra with the driving spirit of rock, creating a piece that feels equally at home in the concert hall and on the silver screen. The result is an immersive listening experience that highlights both musical precision and emotional scale.

As a choir conductor, session pianist, film composer, and musical theatre director, his background naturally shines through in “Signs of Life.” Having scored fifteen films and two television shows while performing with numerous jazz big bands, orchestras, touring rock bands, and tribute acts, he brings an unmistakable sense of cinematic storytelling to the track. Every orchestral passage feels intentional, while the rock foundation gives the composition an energetic pulse that keeps the arrangement engaging from beginning to end.

Jeff Vidov demonstrates that experience and versatility can exist alongside fresh creative ambition. “Signs of Life” is more than another release in an already impressive catalog, it is a celebration of musicianship built through years of dedication across film, theatre, orchestral performance, and contemporary music. The seamless balance between sweeping orchestral textures and rock influences gives the single a distinctive identity that stands apart while remaining widely accessible.
