Slowthai And ASAP Rocky Have A Bad Case Of Cabin Fever In The Surreal ‘Mazza’ Video
Full of eye-popping imagery and paranoid thoughts, the ‘Mazza’ video plays with the idea of life in quarantine. …
Stars are just like us — at least when it comes to undergoing the mind-bending boredom of quarantine — in Slowthai’s surreal “Mazza” video with ASAP Rocky. In the eye-popping clip, Slowthai and Rocky are next-door neighbors in a hotel where both seem to be sweating out an isolation period and suffering its negative effects on their minds. Slowthai hallucinates and expels excess energy while Rocky imagines himself as a white person while watching TV. Interestingly, the press release for the video notes that both artists’ scenes were filmed in their respective home countries and directed via Zoom
“Mazza” is the latest single from Slowthai’s upcoming Tyron album, which comes out on February 5. Other videos from the album so far have included “NHS” and “Feel Away,” which both came out last year, while Slowthai’s “Thoughts” video allowed him to take a step away from the heady and personal subject matter of the album’s songs for a throwback freestyle in the original grime mode. Artists to be included on the project include grime godfather Skepta, Florida rabble-rouser Denzel Curry, alt-pop-rocker Dominic Fike, and underground pop artist Deb Never.
Watch the “Mazza” video above.
Tyron is due 2/5 via Method / AWGE / Interscope Records. You can pre-save it here.

ALEXATOR turns electric guitars and synths into pure energy with latest release “Through the Fire”
ALEXATOR‘s latest release, “Through the Fire,” is a hard-hitting track. This instrumental is a high-energy mix of electronic rock, trance, and strong electric guitars. The music has a heavy kick and catchy, on-the-run synths that give the record a strong sense of forward motion. Clean electric guitar licks add another dimension. This is where electronic drive meets rock guitar presence.
The focus on the instruments makes each sound sparkle, a thumping kick drum creates a strong rhythmic base, while infectious synths drive the track. Clean electric guitar licks slice through the electronic backdrop, giving it definition and a definite rock edge. No vocals here; the interplay of rhythm, synth, and guitar creates the energy.
ALEXATOR has created a track with a mix of electronic rock, trance, and electric guitar, all about movement and energy from start to finish. What you get is a simple instrumental experience that doesn’t need anything fancy to make its presence known. The driving kick, busy synth work, and clean guitar touches give it a clear identity for listeners who like electronic music with a strong rock influence.

ELISA MINELLI offers courage in your own hands with latest release “Grab Your Guitar”
ELISA MINELL‘s latest release, “Snag Your Guitar,” is a pop single about empowerment and self-expression. The song by the Italian singer-songwriter-composer grows out of an idea she has previously explored in her contemporary classical work, “The Fall,” based on the idea of “amor fati” by Nietzsche, but in the form of an English-language pop song. This is a personal message in another form of music.
The message of “Grab Your Guitar” is not to let the challenges rule you, but to face them head on. Music is more than just something you hear. It’s a way to release your emotions and also find strength within yourself. The guitar in the song’s central metaphor symbolizes taking charge of your own story; everyone has the power to be the hero of their own story.
That sense of determination gives the song its emotional arc. “Grab Your Guitar” is about bouncing back from hard times, about not sitting around when life gets tough. MINELL ELISA. I combine music with personal empowerment. The song’s message is straightforward. It brings the idea into a pop setting and adds another layer to the song’s journey in relation to her wider creative output. Ultimately, it reminds you to take what empowers you and keep pushing forward.
