ThxSoMch Unleashes Intrusive Thoughts in Haunting New Single “Would You?”

0

Toronto, Canada-based post-punk/alt-rock artist ThxSoMch fights intrusive thoughts on angsty WouldYou? out now and its haunting, Darren Aronofsky-inspired video out now. On the building, grungy earworm, the artist fends off his fears and anxieties through booming drums, feverish vocals and a hooky melody.

Produced by grayskies (D4VD, Wisp) and mixed by the renowned producer and mixer Mike Crossey(Arctic Monkeys, The 1975) “Would You?” out today, is a cheeky, unhinged look into the artist’s mind. To ThxSoMch, “Would You?” is a twisted joke with a self-deprecating punchline. It was the first song grayskies and I made in Brazil, and it kind of built itself. It plays with the line between my intrusive thoughts and real actions—dark, sarcastic, and vulnerable beneath the mask.”

In his own version of a horror short film, the accompanying visual is a dark, uneasy plunge into ThxSoMch’s chaotic brain. To bring the vision to life, the director and the artist pulled from Darren Aronofsky–films like Black Swan and Requiem for a Dream. The director shares, “It was always meant to feel unhinged and intimate at the same time. We shot it in Toronto and scaled down the chaos into something way more personal. Easily the most ambitious thing I’ve done—visually, emotionally, all of it.”

ThxSoMch burst onto the scene in 2022 with viral hit “SPIT IN MY FACE!” which has garnered 672M+ streams on Spotify and charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Since then, after touring the U.S., Europe and taking the Rolling Loud stage, the artist has only continued to elevate, evolve and expand his artistry and fast-growing, fervent global fan base, boasting over 413K followers on TikTok. Now, with over 1B career streams and three songs with over 100M, he unrelentingly disrupts the post-punk, alt-rock space as he paves his own lane–unapologetically staying true to himself and his artistry like never before and prepares to reach new heights.

ThxSoMch is a genre-bending artist known for turning intrusive thoughts into anthems. He first caught attention with raw, chaotic tracks like “Spit In My Face!” but quickly proved he wasn’t a one-note act. His music blurs the line between alt, emo, and experimental pop—equal parts violent, vulnerable, and sarcastic. After disappearing to Brazil for 7 months with no phone and no sense of time, he returned sharper, stranger, and more self-aware. His work now feels like a conversation with the part of yourself you usually ignore—dark, funny, and painfully honest.

With “Would You?” out now, ThxSoMch delivers a melodic, hard-hitting punch as he tries to catch his breath. Keep up with ThxSoMch on InstagramTikTok and YouTube for so much more from the artist.

Angela Hewitt Celebrates 50th Album With Majestic Mozart Collection

0

The 50th album from Canadian pianist Angela Hewittout today on Hyperion Records, completes her latest major project for the label; Hyperion has been her lifelong recording partner for 31 years.

This double album ranges from the simplest and easiest of Mozart’s piano sonatas – the K545 “Sonata facile” played by a million students of piano every year – to the composer’s last and most profound piano sonatas. In between come the charming Variations on “Ah vous dirai-je, maman”, better known in the Anglosphere as the tune to the nursery rhyme “Twinkle, twinkle, little star”.

Once again, the pianist presents her own scholarly and meticulously-researched booklet notes, born of years of practical performance and academic understanding of each sonata’s place within the composer’s wider output. Commenting on the experience of playing and recording Mozart, Hewitt says, “When you play the complete works of Mozart, you get the most wonderful feeling for what his own playing must have been like. You feel how the music was created under his fingers; the joy he took in not only composing but showing off what he could do; but also his temperament – the comedy, the tragedy, the melancholy. A life full of characters, situations, games, dance, and especially song. To play Mozart well, you must imitate a great singer, you must dance, and you must be a great conductor alongside playing your instrument.”

Angela’s 31 prolific years on Hyperion have so far included the complete solo keyboard works of J.S. Bach to tremendous acclaim: Goldberg VariationsWell Tempered Clavier, and the Toccatas.

One of the world’s leading pianists, Angela Hewitt is especially renowned for her recordings of all the major keyboard works of Bach, described as “one of the record glories of our age”. In 2020 she was presented with the City of Leipzig Bach Medal: a huge honor that for the first time in its seventeen-year history was awarded to a woman.

Her 50-album discography also includes recordings of Couperin, Rameau, Scarlatti, Chopin, Liszt, Schumann, Chabrier, Granados, Fauré, Debussy, Ravel, and Messiaen, as well as all thirty-two of Beethoven’s piano sonatas. In 2015 she was inducted into Gramophone’s Hall of Fame thanks to her popularity with music-lovers around the world.

Winning First Prize in the 1985 Toronto International Bach Piano Competition launched her international career. Angela Hewitt appears all over the world in many of the most prestigious concert halls, from New York’s Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House. Her own annual Trasimeno Music Festival takes place each summer in Umbria, Italy, and features international artists as well as recitals, chamber music and concertos from Hewitt herself. Her masterclasses, writings on music and booklet notes for her recordings are all hugely popular.

Angela was awarded an OBE in the 2006 Queen’s Birthday Honours, and was made a Companion of the Order of Canada in 2015. In 2018 Canada further honoured her with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Achievement. In 2020 Angela was awarded the Wigmore Medal in recognition of her services to music and the relationship she has had with the London hall for over thirty-five years.

Jamie Fine Begins New Chapter With “Wait For Forever” and Major Tour Dates, Including Fall Run With Shawn Desman

0

 Chart topping singer/songwriter Jamie Fine has built and continues to grow a devout fanbase with her infectious chart-topping singles, fun live shows, and a personality that can light up any room. Fresh off the heels of her collaboration with Shawn Desman on their pop hit “Body,” she is back with brand new single “Wait For Forever,” an ode to her fiance and their relationship. This single marks an exciting new chapter for her as an independent artist releasing new music and an upcoming album, her first under her new deal with ADA. 

Recently engaged, Jamie explores the concept of what forever can mean on “Wait For Forever.” She explains,  “The concept of forever has always been overwhelming to me, not always understanding how one person could be your “forever” when we’re constantly growing and changing; learning new things and meeting new people. But in this relationship, I learned that “forever” doesn’t need to look the same throughout the entirety of a relationship. ‘wait for forever’ is a song about giving my partner a chance to go through what I got to go through before meeting her – finding herself. And reminding both of us that that doesn’t need to be scary – it can be normal. It’s about me letting her go if ever she needs me to, and that I’ll be here waiting for her, forever, when she’s ready to come back – that I’m certain about us, even if she’s ever not.”

Jamie is known for her fun-loving and witty nature, drawing fans in to create a strong and ever-growing community. From sharing her life through her music and online, Jamie’s openness is magnetic. Her sense of humor has people talking – most recently where she attended the PWHL Ottawa Chargers vs Minnesota Frost championship game, where she and her fiance Victoria channeled Justin and Hailey Bieber’s fashion from the Toronto Maple Leafs playoffs game last month. She is also set to perform at the upcoming PWHL draft event in Ottawa on June 23rd. 

Jamie recently checked off a bucket list show, having performed an incredible set at WeHo Pride in Los Angeles this past weeknd. On top of readying a new album for release, Jamie has a number of upcoming tour dates over the coming months including festival appearances at Northern Lights Festival in Sudbury, Edmonton Pride and PEI’s Sommo Festival in Cavendish. She has also recently announced that she will be on road this fall as a special guest on Shawn Desman’s upcoming tour. See below for a full list of tour dates. 

 Ottawa-born singer/songwriter Jamie Fine uses her music to inspire audiences to explore emotions we all feel but often struggle to express—ranging from anger and isolation to joy and connection. Her unique ability to convey intense emotion is her superpower. For Jamie, music is deeply personal: “I write music for me—it’s cathartic. It helps me process my experiences.” Releasing music, she admits, feels vulnerable: “The safest place in the world is in my head. Sharing my music is like opening that space to others, aiming to create a safe place for them to explore their own emotions.” Jamie values unfiltered, honest conversations with family, friends, and her audience: “Real connections feed my soul like writing and performing.” Time with loved ones keeps her grounded. A four-time Juno nominee, Jamie’s music has over 100 million global streams. Her hit single “If Anything’s Left” reached Platinum status in Canada and Double-Platinum in South Africa. With nearly 1.5 million followers worldwide, fans are drawn to her energetic personality, quirky humor, and openness. As her audience grows, Jamie’s goal remains to create inclusive, emotional spaces through her music.

Azrieli Foundation Provides $10 Million in Emergency Support to Israel Following October 7 Attacks

0

To address the deadly attacks perpetrated by Hamas in Israel on October 7 – and the crisis that ensues – the Azrieli Foundation has provided $10 million in funds to a variety of registered charities.

“We aimed to be swift, meaningful and effective in our response,” says Naomi Azrieli, Chair and CEO of the Azrieli Foundation. “Within hours of the attacks, our Board of Directors were arranging our first infusion of funds to support the victims of terror.”

Within three days, the Foundation deployed $5 million; the rest was distributed during the next few weeks. These funds are currently being used for many high-priority needs – including first responders, hospitals, medical equipment and trauma support.

Some of the recipients of the funds include Canadian Magen David AdomUnited Hatzalah CanadaLeket CanadaCanadian Hadassah-WIZO and Canadian Friends of Rambam Hospital, all of which are working to provide immediate relief in Israel.

“We are closely monitoring the events as they unfold and are harnessing all our abilities to aid the people of Israel during this dire time,” says Azrieli. “We are working strategically to assess the needs and distributing funds where they are most needed.”

Azrieli noted that while the situation in Israel remains fluid and difficult to predict, the Foundation will work with its partners to ensure its support will continue.

“We stand united with Israel, strong and resolute in our support,” says Azrieli. “Our hearts are with our friends, families, colleagues – and all the people of Israel – as we grieve the loss and trauma of this brutal attack that has left no one in the country untouched.”

The Follower Funnel: Turning Casual Browsers Into Dedicated Admirers

0

By Mitch Rice

Countless people search through never-ending feeds in the busy digital marketplace of social media, coming across a bewildering range of content every second. For creators, companies, and influencers, the challenge is not only about getting seen; it’s also about turning those transient glances from casual browsers into dedicated followers – people who actively interact with your content, promote your message, and come to be real brand champions. One way to understand this conversion process is as a “follower funnel,” a deliberate road leading possible followers from first awareness to deep loyalty. Real audience engagement and lasting development depend on a knowledge of and optimization of every phase of this funnel. Although quick cuts like to buy instagram followers from stormlikes could provide a momentary increase in numbers, a thorough and value-driven approach builds actual respect and long-term involvement.

Top of the Funnels: Drawing First Attention

Capturing the interest of casual browsers comes first at the very top of the follower funnel. At this point, discoverability and creating a strong first impression rule everything. Your content should be aesthetically pleasing, pertinent to popular subjects, and best suited for the particular platform you are employing. Stopping the scroll depends critically on striking eye-catching images, interesting headlines, and compelling hooks in videos. Your profile should be optimized for search, you should use pertinent hashtags, engage in trending sounds (on networks like TikHub), and greatly raise your visibility to fresh audiences.

At this point, working with other artists or businesses can also be quite successful since it exposes your content to their current fan base. Although running focused advertising can assist hasten this initial reach, the content itself needs to be powerful enough to inspire a casual browser to stop and investigate more. Remember, the objective here is to peak their curiosity enough to spend a few more seconds on your profile or content rather than necessarily turning them into followers right away.

Middle of the Funnel: Growing Interest and Involvement

The next phase of the funnel is building interest and motivating participation after you have drawn first notice. This is where casual browsers start to interact with your content going beyond a cursory look. They might read a full caption, view a whole video, or perhaps leave a like or comment. At this point, your content should show consistency in relevancy and quality, thereby offering continuous value that attracts them back. Consider providing insightful analysis, gripping narratives, or motivating viewpoints that really speak to your intended readership.

Here, too, actively involving your present audience is quite important. Responding to comments, addressing queries, and engaging in conversations not only strengthens community but also shows to possible followers that you value engagement. This real involvement might make a great difference between a passive browser and someone who feels connected to your company and is more likely to follow. Interactive elements including polls, tests, and Q&A sessions in tales help inspire more involvement and expose to potential followers the dynamic character of your work.

Developing a strong social media presence by rapidly improving numbers—perhaps by choosing to buy instagram followers from stormlikes —may exist—truly sustainable success   is more about carefully directing casual users across a well-defined follower funnel than about following flimsy trends. Every stage is important from catching first attention with interesting content to fostering real interest by consistent value and lastly turning them into devoted fans with unambiguous value propositions. Maintaining these bonds after follow guarantees natural development and long-term loyalty.

How to Identify Authentic Elux Liquid Nic Salt Products?

0

By Mitch Rice

If you’re a vape enthusiast, you’ve probably noticed the growing popularity of Elux.  However, its popularity has resulted in a rising market for counterfeit products.  Finding genuine vape items, particularly nicotine salts, can be challenging.  Fake e-liquids may appear to be a trivial issue, but they can impair your vaping experience and potentially pose major health hazards.

Using counterfeit Elux Liquid (Nic Salt) exposes you to unknown substances, variable nicotine levels, and low-quality formulations.  This not only wastes your money, but it also raises the likelihood of strong throat hits, weak flavors, and possible vape device damage.

So, how do you protect yourself and verify you’re buying genuine Elux Liquid Nic Salt products?  The solution is simpler than you think—once you know what signals to look for.  This guide will help you recognize authentic Elux items and experience the smooth, pleasurable vape you deserve.

Why Authentic Elux Liquid Matters: The Risks of Counterfeit E-Liquids

It’s very important to know the reasons behind why finding genuine Elux Liquid is necessary.

People mainly care about health and safety. Counterfeit e-liquids are frequently manufactured in unregulated conditions, with hazardous, polluted, or low-quality ingredients and little oversight.  There is a danger that they contain toxic compounds, excessively high or low nicotine levels, or illegal drugs.

Furthermore, many fake liquids have a poor, unpleasant, or inconsistent flavor.  Sometimes there isn’t enough vapor and the throat hit is too intense, which detracts from the smoothness that Elux is known for.  This not only reduces your enjoyment, but also makes it difficult to trust the quality of your vaping experience.

Impurities in unregulated e-liquids can quickly clog your pod system, gunk up coils or even harm the parts inside, so you might have to pay for costly repairs or replacements.

Authentic Elux Liquid (Nic salt) products are made to comply with important rules (such as TPD in the UK/EU, which involves child-resistant caps, tamper-evident seals and correct labeling). 

How to Spot a Genuine Elux Liquid Nic Salt Bottle?

It takes a step-by-step process to recognise genuine Elux Liquid (Nic salt). Be sure to notice these important details.

The QR Code or Scratch-Off Code

This is the most important and dependable way to protect yourself. Most of the time, reputable brands like Elux add a special authentication feature to their packaging.

On the Elux Liquid (Nic salt) box, search for a holographic sticker or a scratch panel, which is usually found on the side or bottom.

Scratch off the coating to discover a special numerical code

Check the official Elux website for main products or check the global site for regional verification pages) and find the product verification section. Type the code into the box in the same way it is written.

The website will confirm whether your product is real. If the code has been checked a lot or if it gives an error, it’s likely that the product is fake.

It’s best to go to the official website by typing the address yourself or using a link from an authorised retailer. Be careful not to click on links from emails or pop-ups since these might take you to fake verification websites.

The Quality and Details of Packaging

The design and production of Elux Liquid packaging are very careful and precise. Many times, counterfeiters do not follow the rules when making this part.

Authentic boxes show clear, sharp and brilliant images. Check that the text is clear, the logos are easy to distinguish and the colours are the same. Fake documents often have graphics that are not sharp, images that are pixelated, faded colours or text that is smudged.

Official products are checked for spelling and grammar mistakes. Mistakes in spelling, grammar or the way something is written on the box or label are major warning signs.

The packaging is made from quality materials that feel strong and luxurious. You may notice that counterfeit boxes are not as strong, thick or well-finished as the real ones.

Look for important regulatory signs such as the CE mark, nicotine warning images, batch numbers, production dates, expiry dates, the nicotine strength and all the manufacturer’s details. Lacking or incomplete information is a clear sign that something is fake.

All Elux Liquid bottles are sealed with a child-resistant cap and a plastic ring that breaks when opened for the first time. Ensure that these are not damaged and work properly.

How to Deal If You Think a Product Is Fake?

If, after doing all this, you still suspect that your Elux vape liquid product is fake:

  • Your health comes first. Do not use any e-liquid you believe could be fake.
  • Contact the person selling the product to explain your worries. A seller with a good reputation will try to look into and solve the problem.
  • You may want to report your findings directly to Elux by using their official website. It allows them to find out where counterfeit activities are taking place.
  • Avoid pouring it down the drain – nicotine and chemicals can harm the environment.
  • Don’t toss it with electronic waste – e-liquids aren’t accepted at e-waste centres.
  • Check local regulations – contact your local council or waste authority for hazardous waste guidelines.

No disposal service nearby?

  • Absorb the liquid with coffee grounds or cat litter.
  • Seal the mixture in a plastic bag or container.
  • Dispose of it in your general waste bin (only if no better option is available).
