New Age Classical Musician Julian Loida Releases ‘Giverny’ LP, Influenced by French Culture
His album, Giverny, is a new age, indie classical collection of songs. During songwriting, he had the realisation that memories often come to us before we even remember, and similarly that’s how songwriting/composing feels – that they have been laying dormant until they feel it’s time to appear. With this album, Loida was influenced by French philosophy, arts, and music, from his time visiting, creating, and meeting people there.

Angus Legg shares raw & vulnerable new single ‘Someone I Never Knew’
With an unyielding vulnerability, Melbourne’s Angus Legg has today unveiled his latest emotionally fueled pop heater, titled ‘Someone I Never Knew’. Whilst the grief from the death of his father was the catalyst for this track, Angus Legg pulled profound wisdom to pen the lyrics, understanding that “a loved one cannot experience who you are today, and ultimately never know who you are to become.”. With the vacancy of being unable to share those moments with his father, ‘Someone I Never Knew’ was an expression of Angus’ pride of who he had become, as well as his gratitude to acknowledge that he would not be the person he is today, without his fathers guidance. Serendipitously, the track’s release date coincides with his father’s birthday; May 24th.
