Hotel Eden Releases New Song “Echoes”
The track was written and produced by Warner and follows a string of critically acclaimed and successful singles released over the last few years. “Echoes” marks another turn in his post-genre wheelhouse with a more minimal production and melancholic contemplations. Says Warner, the song is a “more subtle, sublime sort of expression for me- I wanted to take a pretty bold risk and put the vocal right out front, really honest and present. The rhythm had to be a heartbeat, a deep, heavy pulse that carries this whole emotional ride through realization and desperation, plus I wanted it to make you want to mentally dance, so an abstract, really minimalistic moombahton style beat made sense.” The track outlines a doomed true-love romance, where one party in the relationship lets it corrode due to neglect, “In the end the character is left with this pleading, desperate hope that is kind of sad, hopeless, but beautiful at the same time.”

KATATONIA RELEASE DETAILS OF “CITY BURIALS”
“In days and nights of black and silver, the dead end king will come. From pieces of broken mirrors there will be a crown bestowed upon his head. In reflections of shattered glass not only the seasons will turn, but also the change disguised by the lapse of time. His mind will have to come to bear the weight of everything that was left behind and forgotten. Archiving the inaccessible. Celebrating the abandoned and mourning the destroyed. The city burials.” Anders Nyström

Ian Randall Thornton shares riveting new single “Hiatus”
“Hiatus” was one of the last songs Ian wrote for the album, yet it has become a major lynchpin track for the greater theme being expressed. The whole album is about finding peace in the midst of chaos, and since life these days can be chaotic enough, most of the album is meant to calm and soothe the soul. However, with “Hiatus,” Ian purposefully wanted to juxtapose the peaceful tone of the album with a bit of chaotic confrontation, while maintaining the same soothing effect. It’s meant to feel like two opposing forces of nature colliding and inevitably affecting each other, like a hurricane being pushed aside by a cold front. At its heart, the song is about letting go… letting go of past pain that we unknowingly still carry, and the illusion that we can control our surrounding environment. The hope for this song and album is to create a hiatus of sorts for those needing a break from the overwhelming lives we tend to live.
International Recording Artist Christopher Ellis Release Single “Still Go A Dance”
As the world readies to descends on Jamaica for “Reggae Month” February celebrations (officially proclaimed and first staged in 2008), Christopher Ellis, the progeny of the late great “Alton Ellis” known as Godfather of Rocksteady, has delivered a nostalgic ode to the beloved era with “Still Go A Dance”.
On the timeless track-bound, Christopher ‘s rich soulful voice sings and reminisces of a time where reggae dominated the dance floor. It was a time when one forgot the outside turmoil and basked in the rocksteady vibes of Alton Ellis, Gergory Isaacs and Delroy Wilson. “Still Go A Dance” says it all, it is a celebration for the love of music and culture. Times have changed but popular street dances are a staple and as the crooner passionately boasts, we “Still go a dance same way”.
