Singer-Songwriter Emilya shares a Smooth Downtempo on her New Single “Emotionally Bankrupt”

22-year-old independent artist from Dallas, Texas, has already begun to amass a following from her two previous singles, but she looks set to propel her rise even further with this new release. The fast rising singer-songwriter Emilya has unveiled her brand-new single, “Emotionally Bankrupt”, a stunningly smooth downtempo cut that leaves a huge impression on first listen.

Emilya showcases her full range of talents on “Emotionally Bankrupt”, with the track highlighting her strong musicianship – from powerfully emotive vocals to skillful songwriting.

“Emotionally Bankrupt is an attempt to describe the deep feelings of depression and anxiety that so many people face today – something that is often hard to put into words”, says Emilya. “I wanted to turn something so dark into something used for beauty and used for good through the power of music, allowing anyone and everyone to find a piece of themselves in the story of the song and realise that they are never alone in their battles.” If Emotionally Bankrupt is just part of her opening chapter as a musician, it’s clear Emilya has an exciting future ahead of her as a singer and a songwriter, making her an artist to watch out for in 2021 and beyond. And with more new music lined up for the coming months, it’ll be exciting to hear what’s next from this hugely talented artist.

Lisa Jo turns feeling unseen into self-acceptance with latest release “Oddball Gem”

Lisa Jo captures that feeling of being outside the crowd in “Oddball Gem.” The song is about feeling invisible, misunderstood and determined to be yourself. The emotional core is visceral. So many thoughts, not enough words, the draining effort of trying when the fight still feels unfinished. The writing gives you that feeling, makes isolation a familiar, personal thing.

The song then moves to images of becoming ‘a shadow’ and ‘a ghost’ before arriving at a stronger sense of identity. The emotional feeling of not fitting in is at the heart of this song, with the lyric “I was built this way” changing the tone from pain to self-acceptance.

“Oddball Gem,” is a declaration from someone learning to stand comfortably in their difference. The line “I don’t fit in I’m an odd ball gem” is a direct and memorable encapsulation of what the song is all about. Lisa Jo turns that feeling of being left out into a portrait of individuality. She provides the track with an emotional message of staying true to yourself when belonging seems hard today.

Temidayo Balogun bridges tradition and modern expression on latest release “Ori I “Concept of Democracy”

Temidayo Balogun‘s latest release, “Ori I “Concept of Democracy,” blends African musical traditions with contemporary jazz to explore identity and community. “Talking drums, native instruments, but there are also passing notes on the piano and a saxophone for another dimension to the musical language,” the song is characterized by.

The track isn’t rooted in one musical planet, but in the relationship between its different elements. Talking drums are part of African musical traditions. The piano and saxophone add a jazz-oriented dimension. That contrast lets the song explore its themes of identity and community as much through sound as concept.

If you like genre-bending work, “Ori I’ Concept of Democracy” is a thoughtful musical experience. Temidayo Balogun mixes indigenous instrumentation with contemporary jazz textures to keep the focus on the relationship between people, culture, and community. The track works because the sounds come together. It invites the listener to dwell on the musical ideas rather than just pass through them.
