Feez Da Popstar Realizes True Love In “All I Need Is”

Hailing from New York and now based in Charlotte, North Carolina as well as Honolulu, Hawaii, Feez Da Popstar is showing off his romantic side in his new single “All I Need Is.” It was alongside K-Pop singer Seeon Kang, whose vocals feature on the track. The single comes from Feez Da Popstar’s new album Life of A Popstar, which releases this summer.

When you realize what type of love that you want and need for yourself, it is only natural to want to show that love to the world. “All I Need Is’ accomplishes this in two ways: One is through Feez Da Popstar’s casual and sincere rap delivery. The other is with Seeon Kang’s soothing vocals, which add to the courtship going on in the lyrics.

“You my boo no other
Had to figure out had to discover
Your my only one my only lover
Closer than my sister father and mother
Out in the open no undercover
But when do our thing its under the covers”

Feez Da Popstar confirms the song is a confession of love, stating, “This song is about finally realizing you love someone and realize you have to tell them. You need to express your love, make a public declaration and want everyone to hear it.”

This realization can be hard to come by when your feelings are wavering or if you are envious of the love other people have. However, Feez Da Popstar shows that being true to what you really feel can be worth it, displaying a softer side of hip-hop that he feels is rarely seen these days.

He explains, “Today, when Rap expresses love for someone it’s very aggressive and at times vulgar with no romantic moments in it. But if you go back decades in music when you expressed love for someone and wanted to get with someone you talked to them. You spoke to their soul. I wanted to create that same feeling in my lyrics.”

Feez Da Popstar is the alter ego of DJ Jay Faire, which comes from his origins as a DJ making mixes and working club shows. By channeling the energy from his DJ work, Feez Da Popstar began performing and producing his own material.

Soon, he would be featured on songs by top artists, including Lil’ Wayne’s “Pump It” featuring Casey, Chris Brown’s “Shine For Me,” and New Boys’ “You’re A Jerk” remix.

These features would allow Feez Da Popstar to start finding his voice before he released his debut single, “Fly Away,” which would be remixed by Tiesto and associates. His next single, “Take Me Home,” would peak at #9 on the Digital Radio Tracker independent charts.

Feez Da Popstar’s most popular track to date is “Down For You (Party Get Lit),” an infectious high energy party anthem that combines Hip Hop with EDM Pop. This single has over 1.5 million combined streams on digital platforms with 900k alone on Spotify as well as several radio plays on stations such as 8.7 WRVZ The Beat in Charleston, Power 101.7 WZEB Maryland, and KPAT in Santa Monica.

Toronto’s 21st Annual Winterfolk Blues and Roots Festival Announces 100 More Artists Including Sultans of String, Gary Kendall Band, Anne Lindsay & More

After two years of an online-only hiatus due to the Covid pandemic, Toronto’s annual Winterfolk Blues and Roots Festival is back IRL, baby, for its 21st Anniversary! The festival, which features a change of neighborhood this year to Kensington Market, will showcase some of the most talented blues and roots acts performing over the course of two nights of live performances, and one night of strictly online streaming.

This year’s Winterfolk lineup includes three-time JUNO Award winners Sultans of String; eight-time Maple Blues Award winner Gary Kendall Band; Jazz Violinist of the Year Anne Lindsay, and many, many more, including Alfie Smith, Anne Lindsay, Black Suit Devil, Brian Blain, Brian Gladstone, Brian Morgan, Camie, Carmen Toth, Chris Birkett, D’Arcy Wickham, Danny Marks, David Celia Band, David Essig, David Laronde, Garnetta Cromwell & DaGroovmasters, Glen Hornblast, Graham Lindsey, Harpin’ Norm Lucien, Heather Luckhart, Hilario Duran, Howard Gladstone &the Gladtones, Isabel & The Uncommons, JESSA (aka Jessica Stuart), Joey O’Neil, Kevin Breit, Laura Fernandez, Laura Hubert Band, Mandy Goodhandy, Melanie Peterson, Myke Mazzei, Noah Zacharin, Ori Dagan, Paul Mills, Quarrington and Adams (Q & A), Robert Priest, Shawn Lawrie & Kendall Kiddie, Sultans of String, Tania Joy, Tannis Slimmon & Lewis Melville, Taylor Abrahamse, The Gary Kendall Band, The Swingin’ Blackjacks, The Vaudevillian, Tia McGraff, Toney Springer, and Tyler Ellis.  View Full Artist List on the Winterfolk website.

Winterfolk has moved this year to a new neighborhood, Kensington Market. With its multicultural mix of supermarkets, street food, charming boutiques, vintage clothing stores, and hip bars and cafés, Kensington Market feels like a perfect ‘bohemian’ fit for the festival. “Due to this change, Winterfolk’s lineup will be slightly scaled back so as to ease comfortably into our new digs, yet we will hopefully return back to full-strength next year once we’ve settled in,” said festival director Brian Gladstone. Kensington Market also feels like the perfect environment for fostering Winterfolk’s aim of strengthening diversity and inclusivity by adding to its yearly lineups more artists of colour, artists representing the LGBTQ+ community, Indigenous artists, women performers, and new young emerging talent.

Here are the Kensington Market venues hosting this year’s performances:

  • Freetimes Café: 320 College St. Toronto, ON M5T 1S3; (416) 967-1078

Blue Moon Marquee Sweep Maple Blues Awards For Scream, Holler & Howl

Blue Moon Marquee Sweep Maple Blues Awards For Scream, Holler & Howl

Blue Moon Marquee rocked the Maple Blues Awards in a stunning four-award sweep, winning the coveted categories of Entertainer of the Year, Acoustic Act of the Year, Songwriter of the Year, and Record/Producer of the Year for their fifth album, Scream, Holler & Howl.

It’s the first time in the 26-year history of the awards that one artist has swept in these specific categories. A.W. Cardinal, one half of the duo, is also the first Indigenous artist to win the big four categories.

Blue Moon Marquee have worked diligently over the past decade, touring throughout North America and Europe. They have put out a total of five albums, as well as band member A.W. Cardinal’s second solo project Stainless Steel Heart (2012).

“The best part of these awards is that they came from the people. All those long years on the road crisscrossing the country, sleeping in alleys with our instruments and performing anywhere we could,” Blue Moon Marquee said. “It was predominantly fan voting, and that feels special. It is spark and spur for inspiration and encouragement to keep going.”

“A deep thank you and bow of gratitude to everyone who took the time to vote for us, come out to a show, buy a record and support us along the way,” the band said, adding that they will soon announce plenty of new tour dates, including for their very first tour of Australia.

Blue Moon Marquee writes and performs original compositions influenced by anything that swings, jumps or grooves. A.W. Cardinal (vocals/guitar) and Jasmine Colette a.k.a. Badlands Jass (vocals/bass/drums) have played for a vast gamut of crowds at jazz clubs, Lindy Hop dance halls, folk venues, blues haunts, hospitals, prisons, markets, motorcycle joints, dive bars and prestigious festival stages.

Colette not only commands the upright bass but also brings the rhythm with her feet on a custom foot drum kit, all while singing in her signature honey-dipped tone. Cardinal’s distinctive and soulful vocals barrel out like a raging bull while his guitar crackles with the swinging energy of jazz-tinged blues.

With their highly anticipated fifth album Scream, Holler & Howl, Blue Moon Marquee have captured their most sophisticated collection of songs yet. Co-produced by Duke Robillard (Fabulous Thunderbirds, Roomful of Blues) and Erik Nielsen (City & Colour) and recorded live to tape, SHH blazes forward with a full band featuring some of Canada’s finest veteran players. While they have primarily performed as a duo since 2013, over the last couple of years Blue Moon Marquee have been performing often as a trio or quartet featuring Darcy Phillips (Jann Arden) on piano and Jerry Cook (Colin James) on tenor and baritone saxophone.

In addition to sweeping the Maple Blues Awards, the album was also honoured this year with the Blues Foundation’s Blues Music Award nomination for Emerging Artist of the Year. The album has topped the charts in the United States and Canada, achieving No. 1 on the !Earshot National Folk/Roots/Blues chart and No. 3 on their National Top 10 Chart for all genres, No. 1 on Canada’s Top 50 Chart by Roots Music Report, No. 6 on the International NACC Radio Chart and No. 8 on the coveted Living Blues Radio Chart. In a rare feat, it also reached No. 9 on the !Earshot National Jazz Chart.

Laranah Phipps Ray & La Funkalicious Awakens A Higher Consciousness With “Game Changer”

Laranah Phipps Ray & La Funkalicious Awakens A Higher Consciousness With “Game Changer”

Music has the power to bring people together. This is especially true during troubled times of unrest and uncertainty.

New Jersey-based vocalist, songwriter, and producer Laranah Phipps Ray aims to unite people through her Afro-Future jazz-infused funk band La Funkalicious and their new album Game Changer.

Produced by Kym Miller of the band “Instant Funk”, “Game Changer” evokes the cosmic jazz flares of Sun Ra, the groovy riffs of Nile Rogers, and vocals reckoning singers of the golden soul-jazz era.

One standout track from the album is “Stand Together.” Written by Laranah, the song features a stunning horn intro arranged by Arnetta Johnson, Funkalicious bass licks by Tom Littwin, and Laranah’s silky vocals which lead into the song’s call to action.

“If we stand together
We’ll all be so much better
Stand together
We can build a better world”

“Stand Together” is described as a “rhythmic, melodic, and inter-dimensional anthem.” Interdimensional is a worthy descriptor of this song’s out-of-this-world sound that exemplifies La Funkalicious’ AfroFuture Jazz-Funk.

Another notable track is the personal “Connie’s Blues”, written by Laranah and Daryl Robinson. The album version starts off with a sixty-second keyboard intro that evokes starlight and messages sent into outer space, before drums, a bass groove, and vocals launch the song proper.

“Connie’s Blues, Connie’s Blues
Everybody’s buzzin ’bout Connie’s Blues
Win or Lose
There’s no use
You mess around with Connie
You’ll be yesterday’s instant news
Come and get me (Bail me out)
Take me Home (Don’t Make a Fuss)
I’ve had enough

Laranah states that “Connie’s Blues” was written for her mother, who was murdered when Laranah was a teen. The song discusses how turbulent a strong independent woman’s life could be and how her mother’s strength uplifts and inspires her.

Laranah was born into music royalty, the Phipps Family, Newark’s First Family of Jazz. She is the daughter of pioneering saxophonist Gene Phipps Sr.

As a songwriter, Laranah Phipps has composed several songs, including “I Rule the Night,” “Love in Santiago,” “Sudden Love,” and “Save Me Now.” She recently collaborated with trumpeter Michael Ray and saxophonist Marshall Allen of Sun Ra Arkestra the single “Mayan Temple,” Kym Miller of Instant Funk on “COVID-19,” and Kevin Hearn of Barenaked Ladies on “Hello Hello (One World).”

Legendary Rock and Roll Photographer Elliott Landy Presents VOLUME 2: THE BAND PHOTOGRAPHS Kickstarter Campaign

Legendary Rock and Roll Photographer Elliott Landy Presents VOLUME 2: THE BAND PHOTOGRAPHS Kickstarter Campaign

When you picture The Band, you have Elliott Landy’s photographs in your mind. He took the legendary photos in their 1968 album, Music From Big Pink and THE BAND, their self-titled 1969 album. But there’s more where those came from. A whole lot more!

Elliott Landy took some of the most iconic photographs in rock’n’roll history. He was the official photographer at the 1969 Woodstock festival. His portraits of Bob Dylan and Van Morrison are on the covers of Nashville Skyline and Moondance, respectively. His work has been featured in major magazines. exhibited in museums and galleries worldwide for over 50 years. He has published 12 books devoted exclusively to his photographs.

In 2015, Landy published The Band Photographs, 1968-1969 with the help of Kickstarter. It became the highest funded music photography book in Kickstarter history.

The Band has become one of the most celebrated groups in rock’n’roll history: for their own groundbreaking work, for their integral role in Bob Dylan’s development and for the all-star concert film The Last Waltz. The fertile period of 1968-69 – which produced Big Pink, The Band and The Basement Tapes – is steeped in mystery and has been subject to countless articles, essays and books. But other than the music itself, only Elliott Landy’s photographs bring it to life.

“I was the only photographer who had access to The Band during that period while living in Woodstock, N.Y. Because we were friends I had the freedom to hang out and take whatever pictures I wanted. I shot more than 10,000 frames of film of The Band during this period. Of these, fewer than 25 had been published prior to my 2015 book, The Band Photographs 1968-1969, which contained 200 photographs—most of which had never been published before.”

Volume 2 of The Band Photographs began when Landy started going through some old boxes of prints, and discovered shots from the same period that he thought were as good or better than the ones he’d just published: “really great images that definitely deserved to be seen.” They capture an innocence and excitement particular to their hermetic environment, before success started to tear them apart.

“Because of the unfettered access I had as a friend, the photographs bring us into their lives from the mundane chores of grocery shopping to the fun of playing football in the backyard to the sublime moments of creation in the studio and onstage. You will be transported back to their homes in Woodstock and invited to gather on Levon’s bed as they discuss lyrics for who knows, Rag Mama Rag or maybe King Harvest….”

“At the time I was photographing them they were thrilled with the music they were making together. These photographs of Garth, Levon, Richard, Rick and Robbie are testimony to their camaraderie and love of life which were the seeds from which their music sprung.”

The Kickstarter campaign for Volume 2 of The Band Photographs 1968-69 goes live on February 7th, 2023. Rewards offered for pledges include signed editions, limited edition prints, lithos and more. The book will be the same size as Volume 1 (12×12”), beautifully printed. It will make a perfect mate to the first volume – or your favorite vinyl records by The Band.

Melbourne, Australia’s Aroly Tariq Releases Modern Trip-Hop Ballad “Perspective”

Melbourne, Australia’s Aroly Tariq Releases Modern Trip-Hop Ballad “Perspective”

Aroly Tariq invites the listener into a rich sonic and visual landscape with her latest single, “Perspective,” and its mesmerizing accompanying film clip. “Perspective” is a mellow trip-hop ballad with a distinctly modern flair, weaving trap-inspired beats with electronic elements, unexpected samples and ethereal vocals. Tariq interprets the sound within the visual structure of the animated film clip, a stunning tableau in motion she brought to life using the multimedia programming tool Touch Designer.

“Perspective” is the Melbourne-based artist’s third single as a solo artist and producer. Tariq is known for intertwining traditional and AI art and digital animation with her music, crafting unique sonic and visual experiences for her audience. The award-winning songwriter and producer has performed at festivals such as CMW, St Kilda Fest, Melbourne Music Week and Peats Ridge. She’s also collaborated with artists such as Audego, Funkstörung and Coy Haste (Caribou), Pasobionic, and Joelistics, receiving nods from outlets including Pigeons and Planes, The Fader, BBC Radio 1 and Triple J.

Both “Perspective” and its accompanying visuals are a reflection on experiencing heartbreak from an elevated viewpoint. “The meaning behind the track ‘Perspective’ is based on the point-of-view shift of, ‘Don’t be sad it’s gone, be grateful it happened,’ and I wanted the sonic movements to represent that,” Tariq says.

Tariq’s lyrics turn the traditional breakup ballad on its head, fully embracing the experience of a love that didn’t work out rather than pushing away the pain it caused.

“Forever, never seemed so far with you/ It’s over, forever never came/ But I felt love/ I felt love/ With you/ I felt love/ My heart was beating inside yours,” she croons.

The wistful hopefulness is beautifully captured visually as the structure of the tableau slowly expands, inviting a kind of transcendence as Tariq’s gossamer melodies guide the way.

Just as “Perspective” invites emotional growth through introspection, Tariq is exploring her own artistic development as a solo artist. “I produced and visually created everything, which is a beautiful way to execute a concept, because there’s no artistic compromise, as opposed to working collaboratively with others,” Tariq says.

Tariq says she learns more about production with each song she makes. On “Perspective,” it was the introduction of a horn sample she found most surprising: “I never thought I would use a horn sample, but this song really would be empty without it, and it’s also a reminder that songs tend to write themselves and find their own way as they grow,” she says.

UK Rockers The Goodstock Project Release Soaring, Stadium-Shaking “Be The One”

It can be both exciting and intimidating for a new band to enter a music scene, and UK-based The Goodstock Project addresses, with deep candor, all the conflicting emotions of that very situation on their driving, stadium-inspired new single “Be The One.”

“Be The One” starts out pounding and soaring, and singer June Holland’s vibrato glides above and between the instrumentation like a colorful, gently fluttering bird. “Gotta get me/ Some of that wrinkle cream/ Help smooth out my smile lines,” she sings, referring to the forced smiles of an uncomfortable, or fake, situation.

“The lyrics and inspiration behind this tune are about assessing the way a music scene is developing, and having a true belief that you are worthy of being part of it,” the band divulges. “Or better still, standing apart from it and achieving success independently.”

Later, before launching into a repeated chorus of “I wanna be the one,” Holland sings, somewhat cryptically, of launching a golden globe with a slingshot. “It’s a metaphor for throwing out a stellar song,” the band says, “which, sadly, sometimes the world isn’t ready for.”

“Be The One” is the second single off of The Goodstock Project’s debut EP Remote, a compilation of six songs the band worked on during the pandemic lockdown. The big coup is the vocal work of June Holland, who, at the time she started recording the vocals, had never met the rest of the group, but fortunately a musical voodoo-magic happened, and everything worked out splendidly. The corresponding video for “Be The One” shows each band performing on their own, in their own remote location, and then it splices each video together to show the unified performance as you hear – and see – it .

The Goodstock Project is the codename for an experimental collaboration started in the first lockdown of Spring 2020. The idea being to prove whether it’s possible – if everyone can agree on an arrangement of a song and have a solid click-track to work to – to record without even being in the same room, recording weeks apart with each band member engineering their own track, with no overall strategy. The recording of each member’s own part was also filmed (using nothing more sophisticated than an iPhone) so each could see the others at work, just as it would be in the rehearsal room.

Possible? The answer is a resounding yes, and the first fruit of the collaboration was the audio and video track “Hotel”, which Jon (bass), Ol (guitar), and Ben (drums) recorded first, and then June overlaid with vocals and harmonies a while later. Five more tracks followed, and it resulted in Remote, just released this past October.

Despite The Success, Alexis Lynn Still Has “Something To Prove” In New Single

Despite The Success, Alexis Lynn Still Has “Something To Prove” In New Single

As a proud feminist and mental health advocate, Vancouver/Surrey, BC’s First Nation singer-songwriter Alexis Lynn knows too well that no matter how strong, empowered, and aware one may be, it’s still difficult to fight against entrenched systemic pressure – especially in the form of internalized insecurities. Sometimes, though, acknowledging that battle is the first step toward winning it.

In her new single, “Something to Prove,” the rising-star pop artist explores the personal struggle she’s experienced as a bisexual woman, one who’s very open and accepting of her sexuality outwardly but on the inside, still suffering from the biases of the mainstream, especially when it comes to the male gaze.

“Patriarchal society holds this value that the validation of a woman, being it attractiveness, worth, whatever, can often only come from a man,” Alexis explains.

In the achingly open, stripped-back single, Alexis’ lyrics discuss engaging in a romance with a woman who checks every box for what she knows she wants in a relationship yet still feeling the need for male approval to prove she’s “enough” (even though the man she’s involved with is falling far short of meeting her needs).

“I know that she sees me. He’s just willingly blind … I just need him to want me, like there’s something to prove,” she sings, highlighting her internal conflict and unhappiness at her own inability to shake off this male-validation complex.

“It’s messed up, really, but I think it shines a light on what a lot of bisexual women have struggled with,” she says of the song, and of the experience no doubt shared by many longing to break through toxic patterns and processes to find and accept the healthy relationships they deserve.

As the lyrics state, “There’s so much left to unlearn, ‘cause I thought love was something you should earn.”

The British Columbia, First Nations artist has become known in recent years for her ability to combine her distinctive, honey-sweet vocals and pop production with authentic and sometimes raw storytelling. She takes inspiration from her family’s cultural roots, along with icons including Amy Winehouse and Rihanna, and the worlds of R&B and hip-hop. Her debut album, Real Talk, centered around her personal mental health journey and experiences processing trauma, was released in September, 2022.

With “Something to Prove,” Alexis delivers another dose of frank, relatable truth-telling in a radio-ready package.

Folk/Roots Group Rusty Creek Dedicate New Single and Video “Bombs Away” To Ukraine

Folk/Roots Group Rusty Creek Dedicate New Single and Video “Bombs Away” To Ukraine

Music has always been a form of artistic expression. It can also be used as a tool to bring focus to events that can impact us and the world we live in. Rusty Creek’s newly released single – “Bombs Away” which is available now, does exactly that.

You can hear the smooth country blues vocals of lead singer Alex Deeth narrating a story of what it’s like for the innocent people who have been affected by the evils of war. “This song was originally written back in the 1980s”, Deeth explains. “I was writing about the bombing of Britain during WWII. But eventually, the Vietnam War, The Iraq War, Afghanistan War and then Syria and now the disgusting Russian War against the Ukraine. So, the song unfortunately becomes a song for the ages. The song is an anti-war song.”

Through his powerful yet melodic tone, the Victoria, BC native narrates the chorus:

“So what did the kid say to his Sister.
Why did the man say Bombs Away.
And can you remember why the whole thing started.
Why did the man say Bombs Away…Bombs away.”

In their newly released single, “Bombs Away”, the band begins by telling us a story of the harsh reality of what the emotional state is like for the innocent people dealing with the aftermath of war by saying, “Sifting through the ruins of a burned-out town. Looks like they’ve levelled it down. There was a store and there was a steeple. Looks like they took all the people.”

You can find “Bombs Away” on Rusty Creek’s latest album, “The Road of Life,” released in June of 2022.

The band was formed in 2015 with Alex Deeth (vocals/songwriter) and Peter Callaway (guitar/banjo/vocals) but later turned into a four-piece band after adding Lee Stephens (bassist) and Leonard Saidman (drummer). They describe their music as “a mixture of bluegrass, country blues, western swing, Cajun, and anything else we can think of.” The talented foursome draws from a wide range of influences that, in their hands, sound completely original and yet warmly familiar.
