#IMMusicMondays: Babé Sila on 'Fresh Pinks' and How to Become Your Authentic Self.

Babé Sila is seen as the ‘Queen of R&B’ back home in Hungary, having drawn inspiration from legends like Erykah Badu and Alicia Keys, while making her own artistic voice shine. Having been in the music game since 2015 and already having released two albums, she has had time to understand the music game and what she wants from it.

Now in 2022 with ‘Fresh Pinks‘ and ‘Make You Feel‘ already out and a new EP on the way, we chatted to Babé Sila about the new music on the way, why she has moved away

2022: The Year of Conan Gray Continues with 'Yours'

Conan Gray’s time is here, and ‘Yours‘ is the jigsaw piece in his creatively strong and emotionally transformative series of singles, from ‘Astronomy’ to ‘People Watching.’ I’ve followed Conan Gray from the days of ‘The Other Side‘ and ‘Generation Why,‘ to his debut album ‘Kid Krow.’ He is a post-adolescent hero on the fringes of the mainstream pop community (linked to Olivia Rodrigo and Taylor Swift) but with enough freedom to retain his own unique voice.

‘Yours‘ is an emotionally sophisticate

Denis Coleman Keeps it Raw and Powerful on 'Narcissist'

‘Narcissist’ by Denis Coleman is a hyper-fun synth-heavy emotional time machine, transporting you back to the mind of an 18-year-old. Coleman’s evolving combination of authentic rawness and poppy, electronic sounding verses aligns him with artists like Why Don’t We, The Vamps and New Hope Club.

In ‘Narcissist,’ Denis Coleman blends highly synthesized sound with instrumental flare and quite blunt lines. Synthetic songs pop, by often achieving directness, like on ‘8 Letters‘ by Why Don’t We. (“If

Yiigaa Releases Nirvana, Ahead Of EP Release!

Yiigaa is a self-described South London songstress, her musical career is fledging like a baby bird, yet already her vision as an artist has taken shape: songs straight from the city, the beautiful and the messy life of London. In her latest single Nirvana, the lyrics have a glittery, evanescent quality (“Make me feel like Nirvana, all my problems melt away’’) like we are to capture the essence of the song, like sand slipping through our fingers. The song does feel like an entire spiritual revel

Harry Styles Releases Highly Anticipated Single, As It Was [Review]

Harry Styles is hard to extrapolate from every Harry that has come before from 2009 to today. As It Was is a love song, but it’s also a reflection on the past as it was, as he imagined it, as it could have been yet, in unfurling the past, he also looks forward and outwards (“in this world, it’s just us”), because, as this song suggests, here was everything and more.

His self-titled debut album Harry Styles (2017) was a melancholic reflection on being young (Sign of the Times, Two Ghosts), Fine

5SOS Release Latest Singles, Take My Hand and Complete Mess

Most boybands have a cradle to grave life cycle of 5 years, nothing lasts forever, and in the music industry, it is common parlance you must evolve your act or become irrelevant. Five Seconds of Summer (5SOS) formed in 2011, released 2 albums, took a 3-year extended break in 2015, released Youngblood in 2018, then Calm in 2020. Deciding not to just fade away, the Aussie group seems to have hijacked the fate which befell even One Direction… over 10 years on and they are still reaching a global fa

Lonely Boy Releases EP, Lonely People Vol. 2 [REVIEW]

Opening with the strum of church chords, Lonely Boy’s latest EP is a sacrilegious R&B that meditates on the heartache created by love, with added sonic icing that is both spiritually and emotionally cathartic and healing. Lonely Boy sings ‘’If I was your man baby… I would never put nobody above you… I turn to you every time you are my love.’’ Lonely Boy then switches blades with lyrics that spiral on the worship of the female body ‘’one hand on the neck, one hand on the front.” The worship of th
