Afropop Artist ADEOLUWA Sings To Vulnerability In Love With “Under The Moonlight”

Nigerian-born and Canadian-based artist ADEOLUWA is steadily crafting a memorable music career. Following the release of his EP “King of Detours” in January 2024, he embarked on a successful Canadian tour and released a brilliant Afropop EP called “For The Fourth” coinciding with the first tour day.

“Under The Moonlight” is a part of this scenic EP, blending hypnotic indie pop melodies with the best of Afrobeats in this single. The artist shares that the recording of the track was a truly intimate experience, infusing Afropop sounds with modern pop elements in a fresh and authentic way. Indeed, the song has the power of creating a psych-like soundscape, mixing captivating synth harmonies and traditional African rhythms in a clever way.

The unique fusion of the sound and the lyrics create a space for reflection. This, according to the artist, was what he experienced sitting under the moonlight and feeling the weight of his emotions whilst looking at the vast night sky. He adds: “The night sky has always been a source of inspiration for me. There’s something about the moonlight that makes emotions feel more intense and real.”

The essence of the song lies in its ability to make the listeners feel the rawness of love – the need, the desire, and the vulnerability that comes with it. This idea is manifested in the chorus, poetically enriched by the addition of nature elements:

“Under this moonlight, I need your warm sun,
I can’t keep floating in these wild oceans,
Sinking and falling, I’ll just keep praying
You reach for me, please reach for me.”

Slowly but steadily, the song builds an ethereal atmosphere that explodes when the minute two arrives. Energetic pop drums and a more up-tempo rhythm open up the bridge, along with harmonious chorus voices that complement ADEOLUWA’s rich and deep tone. All of these elements create an epic feel, magnifying the celebration of love in its most vulnerable form: “It’s about letting someone see your true self and hoping they embrace it.”

The artist’s impressive highlights include headlining the SaskMusic Winter Showcase, where he earned five nominations from the SaskMusic Awards, including a nomination for the inaugural “AfroBeats Artist of the Year” category. As one of 2024’s must-listen up-and-coming acts, he has been airplayed on numerous radio stations and featured on Spotify official editorial playlists such as New Music Friday.

While the Afrobeats genre has conquered global top charts in the past years, some of ADEOLUWA’s music referents include Nigerian international acts such as Adekunle Gold. In fact, Nigeria has become a significant hub for artists whose music transcends cultural and geographical boundaries. Next up is ADEOLUWA, who has become known for his experimental style, innovative music and mesmerizing live performances.

Toronto’s K-Pop Rising Artist Sydney <3 Explores Social Anxiety In "Anywhere But Here"

Certainly, the impulse to flee uncomfortable social situations is a universal experience. However, for Toronto artist Sydney <3 and countless others, these episodes keep kicking in repeatedly without an apparent reason. This time, social anxiety has been an inspiration for the talented K-Pop artist, infusing “Anywhere But Here” with raw emotion. The song, already available in three different versions - Bilingual, Korean and English - will surely resonate with listeners who suffer from this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r63gcD-a228 Sydney <3’s debut single “Picture Perfect, released in January this year, smashed through the digital sphere with over 50,000 streams across all major platforms. But that's not all – the lyric video accompanying the track has captivated audiences, racking up an impressive 100,000 views. And it didn’t stop there; her magnetic presence has caught the attention of Spotify editors in Asia, setting the stage for an unstoppable journey into the spotlight, truly emboding the creative intersections and evolving influences between Korean, American and Canadian music. With a flair for K-Pop and a clear American 2000’s Pop influence, the song follows a melodic and catchy sequence of synthesizers that immediately gets stuck in the listener’s head. To create “Anywhere But Here”, Sydney <3 collaborated with well-known Adam H. (known for his work with K-pop artists such as Super Junior, Girls Generation, TVXQ, BoA and Lee Hyori) along with Don Wolf (White Wolf, Poison, Falco, Point of Power, Project X), and adds: “My favourite part of the creation process was learning how to create a storyline within the song. I liked watching their creative process in coming up with the music to go with the lyrics.” https://open.spotify.com/album/78ciF696Xfki1ZI8Vqko8z?si=YTl87cXbRjqI-Ayob69UOw As social anxiety becomes an increasing condition among teenagers, 16-year-old Sydney <3 aims to help others feel less alone in their struggles. She shares: “Anywhere But Here” is important to me, because it’s a relatable topic.” The artist reflects her internal battles and worries throughout the song, resonating with the shared issues that many others face:
“Maybe tomorrow things will finally be better,
And maybe I can start putting myself back together.
Maybe I’ll wake up and not feel the pressure,
Maybe maybe never comes.”

Surprisingly, the hopelessness of the lyrics doesn’t come across that way thanks to the melody, which helps create a soothing atmosphere. Indeed, Sydney <3 states that this isn’t something accidental: “I hope the song doesn’t make anyone feel sad or upset. I hope the song is relatable and helps people feel like they’re not alone with their feelings.” And further shares more details about her personality: “I want people to know that it’s okay to be awkward with others when you meet them for the first or 10th time. I know I am.” When the chorus unfolds, the artist even reflects some of anxiety’s physical manifestations: “Take me anywhere but here,
I can’t catch my breath,
Heart is beating out my chest.”

As a young artist, Sydney <3 also draws inspiration from her daily life and rich internal universe. Apart from personal experiences, characters in books, images on social media and therapy sessions also nurture her creativity. Moreover, she has been immersed in the arts from a very young age, participating in ballet, hip-hop, and jazz dance lessons. A standout moment in her education was the opportunity to train with Cara Chisholm, known for her roles in the award-winning masterpiece “Les Misérables” and other acclaimed musicals such as “Phantom of the Opera”. Sydney <3’s journey as an artist is just beginning, but her ability to transform personal struggles into relatable, compelling music is already making a significant impact. With "Anywhere But Here," she not only highlights the challenges of social anxiety but also offers solace and solidarity to those who experience it. As she continues to blend her diverse influences and experiences, there is no doubt that Sydney <3 will continue to inspire and resonate with listeners around the world.

Hamilton Rocker ANDREW IRVING Releases Heartfelt Tribute “Hometown Heroes” Honouring First Responders

Andrew Irving, the multi-faceted singer and songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario, has announced the release of his newest single “Hometown Heroes” – available now.

Inspired by two of his lifelong friends, a firefighter, and a police officer, Hometown Heroes honours the courage and dedication of first responders who work tirelessly to make our world a safer place. This touching song spotlights the many everyday heroes whose selfless actions and unwavering commitment improve the quality of life in our communities.

“Movies and TV shows have taught us to admire superheroes”, Irving explains. “But we don’t often enough think about the heroes that surround us in our day-to-day lives, in our cities and our hometowns.”

When Irving and his longtime collaborator, Mike McCormick, first experimented with a new chord structure and ambient guitar riff, they realized they had created something exceptional. This uniquely epic sound called for an equally epic theme.

“And the result of this collaboration was Hometown Heroes”, Irving proudly proclaims. “It’s a song that not only celebrates first responders but also encourages everyday acts of love and kindness.”

Irving’s latest single stands as the anthem for his forthcoming tour across Canada, dedicated to honouring and expressing gratitude to first responders. This concert series will serve as a platform for uplifting and acknowledging the individuals who selflessly safeguard our communities. Irving will commence the tour in his hometown of Hamilton with a performance at The Anchor Bar on July 27th, followed by a second concert in Brantford, Ontario on August 24th.

For over two decades, Irving has passionately advocated for his community through music, addressing issues of mental health and addiction. Four years sober, his journey deeply influences his music, specifically in the powerful song “Scars.” Irving’s career spans across Canada, Europe, and the U.S., with notable collaborations and performances alongside major acts like The Watchmen, Our Lady Peace, and I Mother Earth.

Prince And The Revolution’s ‘Purple Rain’ Is Out Now With New Immersive Audio Mix

NPG Records and Paisley Park Enterprises, in partnership with Warner Records, are pleased to announce the release of a brand-new Dolby ATMOS mix of Prince and the Revolution’s iconic 1984 album, Purple Rain, which is available to stream now via participating digital partners.

40 years ago this month, Prince shattered all expectations and made music history when he released the album Purple Rain, followed by the hit movie of the same name weeks later. The 9-track LP went on to win two Grammy awards (“Best Rock Performance by a Group” & “Best Album of Original Score Written For A Motion Picture”), two American Music Awards, a Brit Award, and an Academy Award for Best Original Song Score. In 2012 the Library of Congress added the album to the National Recording Registry, which only accepts sound recordings that “are culturally, historically, or aesthetically important, and/or inform or reflect life in the United States.” Purple Rain spent 24 weeks at #1 on the Billboard album charts, sold over 25 million copies worldwide, and appears on countless ‘Best Of’ polls, most recently achieving the #4 spot on Apple Music’s Top 100 Albums Of All Time.

The new ATMOS presentation of Purple Rain has been meticulously mixed from the original multi-track master tapes by Prince’s protege and Best Engineered Grammy nominee Chris James. It is available now via all participating Digital Service Providers, with an audiophile Blu-ray to be released later in 2024.

As part of the festivities honoring Purple Rain’s 40th anniversary, Paisley Park Enterprises is welcoming Prince fans to Celebration 2024, at Paisley Park Studios in Chanhassen, MN, from Thursday June 20 – Monday June 24. The annual event features live concert performances by The Revolution, Morris Day, The New Power Generation, and other special guests. The event also provides the first sneak-peek preview of the Purple Rain musical currently in development and production.

Warner Bros. Discovery will reissue a newly restored 4K version of the Purple Rain motion picture on June 25, with a limited theatrical run scheduled to start on July 3. June 25 will also see a special 4K screening of the movie at the Toronto International Film Festival, featuring a virtual Q&A with Susan Rogers, Prince’s longtime sound engineer.

In addition to these Purple Rain reissues, Prince’s catalog is also now available in full on Snapchat and other social media for the next generation of Prince fans to engage, discover and enjoy.

Prince was an iconic American musician, singer, songwriter, bandleader, performer, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, actor, and a pioneer in artists’ rights and freedoms. Born Prince Rogers Nelson in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he released his debut LP, For You, in 1978 and went on to become one of the most successful recording artists of all time, eventually selling more than 150 million albums. Over his 40-year career, his work received unprecedented critical praise as well as official recognition of his achievements including seven Grammy Awards, seven Brit Awards, six American Music Awards, four MTV Video Music Awards, NAACP Awards, a Grammy President’s Merit Award, a Billboard Icon Award, a Golden Globe, and an Academy Award (for Best Original Song Score for the film Purple Rain). His albums, 1999 (1982), Purple Rain (1984), and Sign O’ The Times (1987) frequently appear in rankings of the greatest albums of all time. He was inducted into the Grammy Hall Of Fame, the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame, the U.K. Music Hall Of Fame, and the Rhythm And Blues Music Hall Of Fame, and more.

Prince was a leader in philanthropy, giving privately and without fanfare to countless charities and causes that he championed and a trailblazer in music, fashion, art, and practically all forms of entertainment. Prince is considered by many to be the greatest artist of all time.

The Evolution of Band Merchandise: From T-Shirts to Hoodies

By Mitch Rice

Music-related clothing and accessories have been staple merchandise in the music industry and have been used as a way for fans to connect with their favorite bands. Since its inception, the merchandise has evolved in variety to meet the new fashion trends, technological advancements, and changing commodity preferences of fans. Two of the oldest and most memorable representations of band merch are T-shirts and hoodies that have been through many changes. The process of how, from a simple T-shirt saying ‘I was at the concert’ to the hoodies of today, is well described in this article.

The Rise of the Band T-Shirt

One can name the presence of band merchandise at the beginning of the 1960s when rock and roll was emerging as the youth began looking for means to support their favorite artists. The band T-shirt could not be left behind; it became more of a norm. These shirts were plain and often needed a logo or artwork, but whatever was put on them was usually uncomplicated, perhaps a band name or an album title. With the change in rock and roll to a cultural movement, the T-shirt underwent a similar transformation and was transformed into a work of art and a symbol of fan allegiance.

In the 1970s and 1980s, band T-shirts became even more popular with new punk and heavy metal music styles. Punk rock bands such as The Ramones and heavy metal bands including Metallica also designed their T-shirt images that became synonymous with punk and heavy metal, respectively. These shirts were not only items of commercial consumption; they were statements of defiance and a badge of solidarity worn by fans to concerts, nightclubs, and even work. This is because the T-shirts are relatively cheap to produce and accessible to the public, making it possible for bands to reach many fans and make them feel like they are in a joint group.

Designing the Perfect Hoodie

The idea of a band hoodie is something other than something that can be simply put on a piece of cloth and be called band merchandise. It involves a reflection on the design, the best type of material most appropriate to use, and the audience’s preferences. Musical groups need to consider how their designs will be viewed when printed on fabric and what their shirts want to say. The logo can be simple or crafted in a large font, while the textual and pictorial images form part of the composition that contributes to the fans’ desire to own the hoodie.

As for those who will make their band hoodies, an excellent amount of information is available on the Internet. How-to guides such as ‘how to design a hoodie’ offer information and guidelines on creating a design that captures the fans. This is because the guide gives detailed information on developing an appealing design. These guides range from picking the proper color schemes to selecting the right font for messages on T-shirts and other products to be branded to help ensure that bands create merchandise that will be unique in the market.

The Transition to Hoodies

This also applies to the development of fashion trends and the emergence of band merchandise. Starting in the 1990s and continuing through the 2000s, hoodies started appearing in the music scene. Originally, hip-hop culture brought hoodies to the mainstream market, as they were effectively a more stylish and practical replacement for the T-shirt. They offered more space for complex designs and were more liberal when using graphics and typographic features.

Soon, hoodies found popularity among bands and fans, becoming a favorite accessory to incorporate into everyday wear. The extra use of a hood and their warmth made them suitable for cold climates and the outdoors, especially when performing during the evening. Bands adopted the hoodie as an alternative but, at the same time, a familiar means of identification and a sense of belonging, as T-shirts were.

The transition from T-shirts to hoodies also pointed to the general alterations in the apparel market. The more streetwear popularized and incorporated within the culture to mainstream society, the more the hoodie shifted from casual apparel to a statement piece. Bands noticed this shift and aligned their merchandise to fit this change, and this is evident in merchandise designs created to cater to diehard fans and fans who do not attend as many concerts. In the present day, hoodies are essential clothing items in bands, often used to display artwork, dates of performances, and other ingenious designs that are representative of the band’s personality.

The Future of Band Merchandise

Band merchandise is an essential and popular trend, and technological progress is expected to lead to further developments. Some companies offer fans an increasing number of ways to make the products distinctive for the buyer by including their name, favorite lyrics, or any other feature. Also, the use of environmentally friendly and sustainable materials for making the products is increasing in the market due to the increased awareness of musicians and artists on environmental causes.

Virtual and augmented reality also poses opportunities for evolving band merchandise. Imagine being able to have a fitting over a virtual hoodie or having virtual concerts with the ability to buy concert-specific merch. These may help change the way fans engage with and patronize band merchandise.

Conclusion

The gradual shift from T-shirts to hoodies or from simple graphic art to prints and embroidery is indicative of changes in society’s culture and fashion as well as innovation in technology and art. It is essential for artists, as they are the ones who have made it a critical part of fan culture and an additional means of income. 

Moving forward, merchandise related to a band’s name will remain relevant and popular, providing fans with new opportunities to be closer to their idols. Whether it is the stereotypical T-shirt or some new trendy hood, the relationship between bands and their followers has not changed, and the merchandise remains the bridge between them.
