Singer/songwriter Michael Pearsall releases his debut single titled "Dishonest" under his artist name WANDERRAVEN

Michael is no stranger to the indie pop music scene having fronted the
acclaimed rock band Honor By August. Recently Michael relocated from his
home state of New Jersey to the indie music mecca of East Nashville TN.

This debut single from WANDERRAVEN "Dishonest", is anything but...Drawing on an array of influences (The Weeknd, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, Ed Sheeran, Chromeo, Gotye) the song is well crafted and elevated by tasteful production. “Dishonest” was born out of a Nashville writing session Michael had with fellow songwriters Garen Gueyikian (Kill The Alarm, Jeffrey East) and Jonathon Sherwood (Little Louder Music).

With the added help of producer Johnny Black (Concord Music Group, Jessie J, Estelle). The result is a song about being so into someone that they inspire us to become all the things we claimed to be while trying to impress them. It’s also about our desire to be our highest selves and how the right person can bring that out of us. The track was mixed by grammy-nominated Mike “Pizza” Piazza (French Montana, Ludacris, B.O.B., Daughtry) and mastered by grammy-winner Vlado Meller (Michael Jackson, Kanye West, Frank Ocean, Jack White, Red Hot Chili Peppers).

"Dishonest" is currently released on Spotify and all digital music platforms. Wanderraven will be touring starting 2019.

This new single from artist WANDERRAVEN is a sexy well produced jam with hints of electronica and acoustic pop. WANDERRAVEN'S vocals are cut through the rhythm track and make you want to sing along from the first hook and the lyrical play keeps you hanging on to every word until the very last note.

This song feels like it was made for radio and could even be featured in some new sexy HBO show at some point. I would definately put WANDERRAVEN on your playlist now so that you will be able to tell everyone, "I heard him first!"

Pop/folk artist Bryce Hitchcock releases new single "Two"

Recognized as “an artist to watch”. Bryce Hitchcock’s music is rooted in folk-
pop, country blues, and jazz. Fans have heard Bryce as the voice of Deuce in

the Final Fantasy Type-0 HD video game and she was recently featured
singing and acting on the hit FX show "Atlanta".

Bryce's new single "Two" is about a girl who isn’t ready to commit 100% of
herself to her relationship. She’s afraid to be depended on and even more
afraid of depending on someone else. Bryce's strong smokey voice carries the
heavy subject matter and shows amazing maturity for such a young girl.
Bryce brings back deep lyrical content reminiscent of such legends as James
Taylor and Carly Simon but keeps it fresh and new with a young sound and
modern production. In an era of over produced, glossy pop music Bryce is
keeping it real. "Two" was recorded in Ireland with Stuart Gray at Jealoustown
Studios and a music video was filmed in downtown Nashville, TN by Steven C.
Knapp of Knapptime Creative LLC.

The song may be titled "Two" but Bryce's songwriting and voice deserve to be
number one.

"Two" is currently released on Spotify and all digital music platforms.

Two 

spotify.com/track/3sNZPCx0QEy2VLqqeC3nSW?si=lkDhE4b2SP62blFEvP5KzQ

Bryce Hitchcock is not your typical 20 something. She has already had roles
on major television shows, and has had a whole recording career!

This new song from Bryce showcases her smokey vocal prowess while still
being a fun and playful production. The song was produced by Stuart Gray at
Jealoustown studios out of Ireland and captures Bryce's laid back vocals
perfectly.

The song deals with heavy subject matter that we can all relate
to...commitment issues. The fear of depending on someone else but also the
fear of having someone else being dependent on you. It's a very relatable
song and Bryce delivers the emotion in the vocal flawlessly.

Pour a glass of wine, grab a good friend, and turn up "Two".

Singer/Songwriter Alyssa Trahan releases new single "Because I Am A Girl" under Sony/Skyfall

This new song from Nashville artist Alyssa Trahan is a new anthem for
women at just the right time in just the right place. Nashville has been
having a recent resurgence of "woman power". With new acts like Maren
Morris and Kelsea Ballerini leading the charge, females are slowly but surely
taking back the radio from the male dominated format.

Alyssa Trahan 

Because I Am Girl

spotify.com/track/4VUgSR90dZluvO8CMlP39c?si=LN3l2HArQmSdxuFxoWt5mg

Alyssa's song addresses issues that have long plagued the female country
music community in a not so subtle way...hint, listen to the third verse.

What makes this song a stand out is that it is not only lyrically strong but it is
also sung well and produced in a modern radio friendly way that most
people can latch onto.

A heavy message put in a nice pop/country package.

Out Of The Dark by Trey Wonder

Trey Wonder is an artist driving with genuine emotion and a passionate connection to the music he makes. Having been through some unthinkable difficulties, the musician and songwriter has channeled his frustration and fear into art – into music. From the album The Ghost of my Father, Out Of The Dark makes for a bold and memorable introduction to his work and his approach to creativity.

Out Of The Dark is a song that quite literally takes on the topic of being held back by personal turmoil or struggle. The sound feels authentically punk-rock-like in nature, though with a few flickers of electronic-rock to mix things up. Trey’s voice offers a fitting balance between gentle indie-pop and something a little grittier. As stated, there’s a world of emotion embedded within his music, and this pours through in everything from the instrumental choices to the lyrics to his vocal performance and tone. The punk rock aura stands tall in the melody and the minimal level of notes utilised during the verses, but elsewhere the artist lets the moment and the underlying sentiments dictate the direction of the song.




Turning in at just under the three minute mark, Out Of The Dark hits in the way that punk-pop used to back in the day. The guitar riff has character, it’s simple but effective – you recognise it the second time around, and it works in the way that organic and rhythmic rock should. Trey has performed every element of the recording himself, so the connection is strong throughout the building blocks that make up the track. The drums, the guitars, the bass, the lyrics, the overall expression – everything is unique and true to the intended ideas.

Trey touches on his darkness in a real and uninhibited way – moments like there’s no continuing, you’re dead… sun shines when I’m stuck inside… I might as well kill myself – these stand out as rightfully shocking. The truthfulness runs deep, and it connects for its honesty. Losing a loved one, particularly to suicide, is heart breaking, confusing, and often breath-takingly difficult to handle. Trey addresses this without simply clouding over it. However, he also addresses the next stages of life – the moving forwards, the overcoming. The song’s title and underlying concept is about finding the strength and continuing – …stop thinking of death, I gotta pull myself out of the dark. 

For its raw indie-rock presentation the song works well and favors its audience, likely making for a big moment at a live show. For its writing and realness, the song offers vulnerability and humanity, which ticks a whole host of other boxes and adds immense value to the work and the way it will be received by listeners.

The Ghost of my Father as an album takes on all of these qualities and more. Trey continues to explore the issues that have haunted him, the various forks in the road and the effects they’ve had on his life, and musically he continues to offer energy and colour and escapism. Well worth a listen.

Download Trey’s music via Bandcamp or stream it on Spotify. Visit his Website for more information.

Interview with Slim Reaper aka Freestyle Junkie

Love Music : Tell us a little bit about yourself. Where are you from and where are you now? 

I go by the name “Slim Reaper”. I’m a lyrical rapper and storyteller. I was born in Denver, raised in Israel and I’m currently based in New York. I’m formally trained writer and before I started rapping, I worked on two novels that I’m still trying to get published. 


Love Music : What made you realize that music was your path?

Like I said, I started with more traditional writing but slowly began gravitating towards hip-hop. I’ve always loved the art form and I’d written various raps and poems while growing up. At a certain point music became more tangible than prose. Above all, I want to get my message out and music is just the most accessible avenue. 


Love Music : Please tell our readers about your debut EP "RiP to the PEACEFUL (me)" ?

“RiP to the PEACEFUL (me)” is a concept EP. I actually interpret the idea of being “peaceful” as negative. Peacefulness is complacency and accepting bad habits. The EP follows the transition from passive to active, while telling relatable stories. It bumps, but keeps you thinking. 


Love Music : What makes your verses unique?

My verses are rhyme heavy and lyrical, but also down to earth. When you first listen, you catch the general idea, but each new play will uncover another layer. As a rapper I’m always trying to strike a balance between deeper meaning and relatability. 


Love Music : Who are your musical inspirations?

I love old school hip-hop. Nas, Biggie, Slick Rick, Gang Starr and Black Star are some of my favorites. My current favorites are Earl Sweatshirt, Joey Bada$$, J. Cole, Danny Brown and Kendrick. MF Doom and Eminem are huge influences as well, I guess they’re an in between kind of era. Two rappers that I actually really admire are Kevin Gates and YBN Cordae. That one is always a surprise to people. 


Love Music : What are your future plans ? Your vision for the coming years. 

I’ve already started work on my next project, “Look for Me”. It has a little bit of a different sound, in terms of being more dissonant with dream-like production. It also is going to feature a few other rappers and singers, as opposed to “RiP to the PEACEFUL (me)”, which is just me. Other than that, just performing as much as possible and forming alliances with other rappers. 


Love Music : If you could perform anywhere, in the world, where would it have to be?

Red Rocks in Colorado. For anyone who has ever seen a show at this venue, it’s an easy choice. A beautiful outdoor amphitheater, incredible natural acoustics, my home state. Sign me up. 


Love Music : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I know this is a lame answer, but music is my free time. Between the stress of life, and day jobs that I have to work for now, music is my outlet. The great thing about hip-hop is that there is always something to practice: freestyling, lyrics, flow or performance. I kind of alternate between those aspects based on what I’m in the mood for. 


Love Music : Where can fans follow you?

I’m not the most active across all platforms, but for now instagram (@reaper_madness) is the best. I update my page fairly often and I’m responsive on there. You can find my music on any streaming platform that you might use. Youtube and SoundCloud included. 


Love Music : Anything else you want us to know? 

Just this. Thanks for taking the time to read and hopefully you’ll listen and enjoy my stuff. If you do, feel free to follow and get updates for my next project!

Albert Einstein wrote, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

Well, I’m a 26 year old single dude, 2 kids, that makes fire ass music. I’m just a normal guy going through life, and documenting my experiences along the way.

Love Music : Please tell our readers about your upcoming project?

Love Music : Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to be a professional Rapper/Singer?


Professionalism is key, maintain your relationships, and stand for something, be yourself, love yourself. Do things for you not for other people. 


Love Music : What are your future plans as a CEO of Genius Minds LLC ? Your vision for the coming years. 

I’m really hoping to branch out beyond music into other avenues of entertainment, we’re currently looking for any comedians/ actors/ actresses to work with! 


Love Music : If you could perform anywhere, in the world, where would it have to be?

Europe!


Love Music : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I play entirely too much Fallout with my manager, video games in general really. But other than that I spend all of my free time with my children and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Attack in the 26th Zone ( Sue Sue ) talks about her new single ”In a Forest, by a Lake” in candid interview

Love Music : Tell us a little bit about yourself. Your background, education, music etc. ??

My name is Sue Sue. I started making music when I was 26 years old. I found machines, by which I could make it, i.e. computer and stuff.


Love Music : What made you realize that music was your path?

I think I had a some kind of blackout back then. When I was regaining my health, as fast as I lost it suddenly, I felt something had changed in me. I felt I could do anything and chose music. Since that I’ve concentrated on doing the thing I want to do.


Love Music : We been hearing a lot about you and your new single ”In a Forest, by a Lake”, so we notice your starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

It’s such a great song and I can’t wait until everybody else hears it, too. My previous song “How Long was the Wind Blowing” gained some attention too in spring. It’s great when you can finally show the products of your work for others.


Love Music : Please tell us more about your upcoming single ”In a Forest, by a Lake” ?

It’s again something I haven’t done before – all of my singles vary a bit in style. This has some new elements in it again. Nature is very present in it’s theme. Musical style covers folk and something from black metal – yes there is some blast beat in it. I even thought about classical music when I did it, like is this classical music. But, no it’s electropop. And it’s my style. 


Love Music : What's motive behind sing this song?

Love. And handsomeness of a forest. Finland is known for it’s clean nature. We have a lot of lakes and forests here where to recreate yourself.


Love Music : What makes your music unique?

People say quite often that they haven’t heard anything like my music before. And that they hear I have made it very in detail. It’s true – sometimes I have spent six years making a song. My music is a combination of different styles. There are lots of different drum patterns. Usually there are also some dark and heavy melodies at some point – or a melancholic feel in lyrics. But there is also a light side – very often a contrast between them.


Love Music : Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to be a professional musician ?

Just do it, practice, and concentrate on it. Everything is possible basically.


Love Music : Who are your musical inspirations?

Tool is a great band for example.


Love Music : What are your future plans ? Your vision for the coming years. 

I’m waiting for the single release day 27th Oct when I can also show it’s music video for everybody. Next year I planned to make a single, too, and an EP. I’m going to do gigs, and maybe a tour at some point too.


Love Music : If you could perform anywhere, in the world, where would it have to be?

It’s really hard to say, I think, just everywhere. Hopefully in some cool and relaxed place.


Love Music : Everybody needs time out. What do you do in your free time?

I’m a helluva thinker, I like to just sit and think.


Love Music : Are you active on social media? 

Yes, I’m on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

I’m currently working on the EP which will be titled ‘Virgo’ (my star sign) I wanted the EP to really give people a sense of who I am, as well as being able to relate to my traits and stories, so each song shows a different little trait of my personality.


Love Music : Please tell us more about your singing style ? 

My style is very chilled with a soulful vibe


Love Music : Who are your musical inspirations?

I listen to a lot of Erykah Badu and J Cole


Love Music : Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to be a professional singer/songwriter ?

Write everything down, even the tiniest thoughts, they could be the best idea for a future story to sing.


Love Music : Have you set some goals to achieve ? 

Right now my goal is to finish the EP and share it with you all


Love Music : If you could perform anywhere, in the world, where would it have to be?

I just want to travel with my music and share it with as many different people and places that there is. 


Love Music : Please share with us your proudest moments ?

I love the energy you receive when releasing something new, my proudest moment was releasing my debut single and receiving so much positive love

Interview with Tan Onwimon

Love Music : Tell us a little bit about yourself & Why you decided to work as a film composer?

I have been a musician all my life. But I have a dream to become a filmmaker, so in 2008 I decided to go to film school and did music works on the side as a saxophonist and musical theater assistant in Bangkok. Doing so made my film classmates starting to have an impression that I could write music for their films (about which I had no idea by that time) Later on, they gave me an offer to do music scoring for their films and I went for it. This first step of film scoring opened my eyes to the new aspect of storytelling. And I fell in love with it right away because it combined both film and music, the arts I love most together! I got to learn and gain more experience and kept getting more films to score after I graduated. It was until 2014 that I decided to go a step further by applying for and getting accepted into the Berklee College of Music for Film Scoring program. This opportunity has changed my life forever and it leads me to Los Angeles where I start my professional career.


Love Music : We have been hearing a lot about your work, so we notice you are starting to gain a lot of attention how does it feel?

Becoming a film composer is the career path that takes much time, effort, and patience before reaching the recognition. For the past ten years of dedication, it has been an honor to have received increasing attention and to have heard of numerous compliments about my compositions. Each project has its own unique challenges. And you have to work closely and harmoniously with the director of every film. Each director has his unique visions, and you have to respect that. That means working in every film is a complete different lesson learned. Receiving a compliment from the director is probably the best thing I can get and I feel truly humble about. It means you have done your job perfectly.


Love Music : Any upcoming project?

I am currently working on a sci-fi/action series called “Yolkman.” Writing for this series is definitely a fun ride. I am more of an orchestral music composer. So working for a sci-fi/action is a new experimental experience on electronic upbeat music. It was extremely fun to render a fusion between analog and digital realms. My upcoming project is NHK’s documentary film called “Duck Academy.”


Love Music : What is your composition style & signature?

I like writing the main theme first. The main theme is the heart of everything that will capture the essence of the film. Coming up with the great themes instantly helps you finishing 40% of the work. The main theme can be for any character, story, location, and etc. It gives you the right mood and tone to hold on to it. Also, my compositions usually have a slight touch of jazz chords with some tensions like 7th, sus4 or 9th chords. I didn’t realize this until I already delivered my work and gave it a listen after a while. This may be because I am a saxophonist, so jazz sounds can be a part of my composition anytime.


Love Music : Do you compose for any other media apart from movies? What is the differences?

I also write for video games, television, commercial and musical theatres. Each media has its own style that I have to adapt. Last month I was lucky enough to work for a musical called “Sonn : a New Musical.” It was a different experience because, for theatres, you have to know the nature of each performer and his/her voice. You have to go through the screenplay and understand the story, unlike movies where you can simply learn about characters through provided video footages.. And the melody has to fit with words. Every single detail like vowels and accents matters. And for video games, they are  similar to film. The only difference is that a video game has interactive music. Each decision you make in the game affects the music, so the music has to have options and layers, instead of ordinary linear storytelling.


Love Music : What is your goal in life you want to achieve next?

Films are always my passion. I would love to write and produce a film one day. My best friend (who is a filmmaker) and I are working on building a studio one day. And it is also my dream to write a story and music for a new Disney’s movie! I don’t know how this possibility is going to be like, but that would be once-in-a-lifetime achievement I can dream of and chase after. I already have a story in my head, and I will never give up on that dream.


Love Music : What motivates you to do your best work as a film composer?

Listen more…listen as much music as you can. Sometimes I like getting a classical music score and study it. You will be surprised how it affects your music vocabulary. The more you listen, the more you know. I also like to listen to other kinds of music, such as Irish, Tango, Latin, Hindi, EDM, and Jazz music, you name it. It motivates me by pushing the limit of my musical knowledge. It also helps refreshing my ears from what I have been writing each day. However, the best motivation for me as a film composer is the approaching “deadline.”


Love Music : What kind of training have you had, if any ?

I had my training at Berklee College of Music. In the Film Scoring Program, they start off by teaching you fundamentals, such as Ear Training, Theories, History and Conducting. After that you start learning to write by getting to write a short cue. In some cues, you will get to record a live player. Each semester the scale of each project will get bigger, and it gets harder too. My first project was a 1-minute music cue with 4 live players. My final project was a 12-minute short film with full orchestra. It was the hell of a ride by the end of my senior year!


Love Music : What is your favorite thing of being a film composer?

Standing in front of the orchestra, listening to them playing my music live on the scoring stage is the best experience I could dream of. Right at the very first moment when they started playing, it was like my exhaustion from work was all gone. The recording session was more like a reward for a composer. The hardest part of film composing is when you write at home and that part is done. So the recording day is the day for me to relax and witness the product of my hard work.


Love Music : Who is your inspiration?

My number one has to be the legendary John Williams. I grew up with his Jurassic Park scores which literally give me chills until today. And I love everything about Harry Potter including the original scores. I can recognize every track of every album. It has been my secret mentor in orchestration. John Williams is definitely my role model. He is already 86 years old, and he is still writing for Star Wars Episode XI. He rocks!
