Gisli – “The Skeleton Crew” – New Album
Gisli last full-length album came out on EMI Records around 15 years ago. ‘How About That’ was released to an almost unanimous critical acclaim and Gisli spent the following years touring with his Norwegian band. Gisli went to Los Angeles to write and record his second album but took a break from his solo career and never released the finished album. But it’s not like he hasn’t been active in music since that time, recording, producing and writing for other people like Duffy, Mick Jones (The Clash), Anja Garbarek, and Cathy Dennis to name only a few, as well as releasing the odd solo song here and there, plus a collection of songs last year with Norwegian artist William Hut on Norwegian label Appollon Records.
Kara Connolly for Skope Mag
“Let Me Go” is a coming of age anthem with a powerful message surrounding being true to yourself and forging your own path despite what others may want or think. Kara addresses codependency, pulls away from the paralyzing and gripping expectations of others (as well as her own fearful thoughts), and steps into the autonomy of being herself and confidently making her own decisions despite what anyone else, even those closest to her, may say or think.
Kara Connolly Fights To Find Her Independence With Powerful New Track ‘Let Me Go’ — Listen
Determined to be an artist since the age of 5 she grew up focused on developing her voice and song writing. Her determination has paid off and now after some time in the studio, she’s ready to show the new upcoming songs.
Her new song Ridiculous describes the feeling you get when you’re so smitten by someone, that your mind and body is constantly craving this person. The melodies are as playful as the lyrics which describes a silly, almost tickling feeling and therefor the name of the song is “Ridiculous” The genre is pop with influences of reggaetón dance beats. The song has got really catchy melodies and a falsetto to die for in the chorus.

The Coronas – Find the Water – new single released today
‘Find the Water’ marks the beginning of a new campaign for The Coronas, the follow-up to their 2017 No.1 album ‘Trust the Wire’. The new campaign will culminate with the multi-platinum, arena-conquering four piece releasing their sixth studio album in March 2020. Produced by Rob Kirwan (Hozier, PJ Harvey, Local Natives, Editors, The Horrors) ‘Find the Water’ sees the band move into new musical territory, as lead singer Danny O’Reilly explains:
“Musically ‘Find the Water’ is unlike anything we’ve done before – melodically; the vocal delivery; even the arrangement is unusual for us, but yet it was one of those songs where we were all on the same page right from the start and it came together very quickly, which is always a good sign. And out of the 4 songs we recorded with Rob in LA, ‘Find the Water’ felt like the right jumping off point for what the album is going to be.”
