GRiZ collaborates with Wiz Khalifa on new single “Find My Own Way”

GRiZ teams up with Wiz Khalifa on latest release “Find My Own Way” from his forthcoming album Ride Waves. The jazzy single not only features the idolized rapper but also heavenly vocals by the Harlem Gospel Choir. The eclectic musical elements on this track come together to create a smooth, feel-good anthem.

In Wiz Khalifa’s words:

“The first time I heard the beat for ‘Find My Own Way,’ I knew there was something special there, since the beat alone feels good. I just had to sit with it and smoke a little KK and figure out my approach and i think it came out exactly how it should.”

Ride Waves, due on April 5th, will feature a list of many more renowned artists including Snoop Dogg and Bootsy Collins. With the record comes a UC album tour, kicking off in March and consisting of stops in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, New Orleans for Buku Music & Arts Project, Miami’s Ultra Music Festival, and more.

GRiZ and Matisyahu Release “A New Day” Single, GRiZ’s ‘Ride Waves’ LP Due April 5th

GRiZ and Matisyahu Release “A New Day” Single, GRiZ’s ‘Ride Waves’ LP Due April 5th

GRiZ has just released his newest single “A New Day,” featuring One Day singer Matisyahu from his forthcoming LP, Ride Waves. Collaboration on this single begun in the studio just days after the Parkland shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas and is being released one year later in the tragedy’s dedication. GRiZ and Matisyahu have used this urban, reggae-electronic single to send a message concerning this tragedy and the many like it that have occurred in the past.

The single talks gun violence and pleas for an end to all the bullets. GRiZ’s production remains strong while Matisyahu’s vocals are just as uplifting as the lyrics are moving. Together, they bring attention to an issue incredibly urgent in our world today. “A New Day” calls on its listeners to help create a better future.

In Matisyahu’s own words:

“The song kind of wrote itself and it came at a time when this was obviously what was going on around us and in our consciousness. When we walked into the studio we knew we wanted to make a meaningful song but we didn’t walk in there with this specific intention (addressing gun violence). When we came into that artistic place where we were like “let’s open up and figure out what is going on inside of us’, this is what rose to the top.”

In GRiZ’s own words:

“Matisyahu’s voice speaks volumes to so many people. He has this unique ‘way’ of speaking and I am infinitely humbled that we were able to link up an idea that I think is very necessary today.”

GRiZ is supporting TOMS Shoes in their mission to have the community contact their local Congress representative to encourage universal background checks and is calling on his fans to do so as well. More on that here: https://www.toms.com/takeaction

GRiZ’s Ride Waves LP is due to come out on April 5th.

I am fascinated  by literature, music, film and life, and I strive to tell stories across  audio & film to provoke thought and emotion.” –Driftwood

Benji Lewis Releases New Single ‘Ride’ That Chases Summer Vibes

Rising Australian artist Benji Lewis, has given us a glimpse of a carefree ride into the sunset with his new and refreshing single titled ‘Ride.’ A collaboration with LA-based producer Lincoln Jesser that according to Lewis didn’t take long at all to produce as it came with ease to work and together. It’s a propelling yet peaceful track that makes you stop and think about the blessings you have already and making your way through life at your own pace. An important reminder in a fast paced world that couldn’t be more timely as the rush of the holiday season is upon us.

“This  song’s inspiration  came at a time when  I started doing the things  I wanted to do for myself, and  what I felt was right for my career. Everyone  has the right to their own opinion, but at the  end of the day we have the final say in what  we do. It’s about letting yourself relax. You’ll get  to where you want to go in your own time and in your  own way. It’s about looking after yourself and doing what  makes you feel good. Making the most of everything and not putting  too much focus on the destination, but just enjoying the ride.” –Benji  Lewis

This track comes as just a taste of what is to come from this rising artist as he has mentioned he has been writing a good amount to prepare for the coming months. Recently Benji, released his EP titled ‘Together Apart’ that brought us more of his classic, laid back tunes that we can’t get enough of.

Lastlings Debuts Track On RÜFÜS DU SOL’s New Label Rose Avenue Records

Lastlings Debuts Track On RÜFÜS DU SOL’s New Label Rose Avenue Records

The Australian brother-sister duo is back after almost a year of no releases, boasting a groundbreaking track titled ‘Deja Vu’ as their first release on RÜFÜS DU SOL’s new label Rose Avenue Records. It’s a track that will have you in a mental spin once you leave it on shuffle, trancing yourself into a true deja vu as its syths and layers take you into a deep whirlwind of emotions. A new and mystical dance floor anthem that is sure to kick up some dust and take dancefloors deep into the night.

The duo made up of both Amy and Josh lays out a new sound that they have been working on with Josh on synths and drums, while Amy calls out with deep and soothing vocals, best described by themselves saying:

“DEJA VU, is the first offering from our next project. The song is, for us, a new sound. A sound we have been working towards for over a year now. We’re fine tuning ideas every day, discovering more about ourselves & our music every time we step into the world we have been creating. DEJA VU is especially important to us as what feels like the beginning of a new chapter for LASTLINGS.” – Amy & Josh

This comes after a stretch of no releases from them, but boasts a notion that their time away has proven productive and a bright future ahead of them in the coming months and year. This is largely due to catching the attention of RÜFÜS DU SOL. The trio, recently starting their label ‘Rose Avenue Records,’ with the goal of giving the undiscovered and rising stars of the indie electronic world a platform to be heard, met with Lastlings and automatically connected with their emotion and sound. Lastlings has spent some time recording and writing with them in their Venice studio on Rose Avenue, giving us hope of more to come from them on the label.

RÜFÜS DU SOL on teaming up with Lastlings: “Taste is such a funny thing, when you find people who share your love of particular music it bonds you instantly, you don’t need anything else in common. We had that moment when we met Amy and Josh last year. They played us some of their new music they’d been writing and we were in. At that point we didn’t even have a label set up, we just knew we wanted to be a part of what they were working on and try to share the feeling their music evokes us with as many people as possible.”

VOILA Release New Single: “Don’t”

VOILA Release New Single: “Don’t”

If you haven’t heard of L.A.’s most promising new pop/rock duo, VOILÀ, you’re about to. Backed by a team of industry juggernauts and having opened for artists including Kesha, The Fray, X Ambassadors, Flume, and Martin Garrix, the duo is set to take over with their refreshing, relatable, and authentic sound. Today, with their brand-new single, Don’t, off their upcoming self-titled debut album, we get a glimpse of great things to come.

“Don’t” deals with subject matter we can all relate to: the bitter yearning and heartache of an unhealthy relationship that, in spite of all the warnings, neither party can escape. The power of the song comes from the personal experiences of the artists, Gus Ross and Luke Eisner.

“I can’t control who I fall for. I can only acknowledge and embrace the sensation of wanting what I know full well isn’t good for me.”
– Gus Ross

“Growing up, there was this willow tree in my front yard. I would always try to climb it, but it was tough. My parents would yell at me and say I was going to get hurt, my friends would say I was wasting my time, and I still have a scar from falling. But, what they didn’t know is that when you got to the top you could see the most beautiful view. A view that made you forget every reason you hated the climb. I fell in love with a girl that was like that willow tree.”
– Luke Eisner

Luke and Gus, who met at USC’s Thornton School of Music, bring two unique backgrounds into creative union. Hailing from London, lead singer Gus got his start in music busking in the streets, eventually rising to play gigs and festivals throughout London’s West End, even performing for the Queen. And from small-town Wisconsin, Luke found music through a passion for literature, building his voice as a lyricist and songwriter for a number of Midwest bands, while maintaining a professional modeling career in tandem with his music.

We are beyond excited for the fresh and authentic sound of VOILÀ, and can’t wait to watch them take over with more infectious hooks and catchy melodies.

Crooked Colours Releases Second Single ‘Do It Like You’ Off Upcoming LP

Crooked Colours Releases Second Single ‘Do It Like You’ Off Upcoming LP

As the Australian-trio makes their way through their U.S. headlining tour, they’ve now released a second single off of their forthcoming LP that is due to drop in 2019. This is an exciting follow up to the single “I’ll Be There” that was released 2 months ago as they were getting ready to head out on tour. It is an exciting release that the trio has described as the track that forged the sound of their new LP that they were striving for.

“‘Do It Like You’ was written on the road whilst we were touring Europe and it was the first track we wrote that really encompassed the sound we were chasing for the second record. Releasing and touring our first album gave us a real sense of what we enjoyed playing live and what made us feel most connected with our crowds. Finding direction was guided so much by the relationships we built with new fans and friends we made and that felt like the perfect fit for the second single to show.” – Phil, Crooked Colours

It is yet another example of the astronomically-rhythmic sounds that this talented group can put out. Filled with deep lyrics and edgy vocals, this track is has a dark side that turns light at the same time as an upbeat rhythm takes over. This release takes a slightly different path than the previous release ‘I’ll Be There’ and the remixes that followed, showing an arsenal of sounds that this trio has yet to deploy in the coming months.

You can catch the second half of Crooked Colours U.S. Tour as they grace their way across the country with dates still left in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland and Chicago. Grab your tickets now!

Those scenes inspired me to finish this song and most of the imagery in the lyrics; it’s about being comfortable with yourself, and not feeling like you have  to be someone else.” – cln
