DPR IAN reveals a stunning visual creation titled 'Dear Insanity…' and premieres the visual for "Don’t Go Insane."

UNVEILS VISUAL MASTERPIECE'DEAR INSANITY...'LISTEN HEREKorean-Australian indie-pop artist DPR IAN unveils his eagerly-anticipated visual masterpiece 'Dear Insanity...' available to purchase and stream now on all digital platforms via The Orchard. Written, directed, and produced by the multifaceted musician himself, the 7-track EP includes previously released singles “Peanut Butter & Tears” and “So I Danced”, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the meticulously crafted narrative that continues to unfold within IAN’s expanding visual universe. 'Dear Insanity...' chronicles his transformative journey from the enigmatic “MITO” persona to the compelling new alter ego “Mr. Insanity.” The EP encapsulates this journey, capturing the essence of DPR IAN’s artistic evolution and creative genius. In conjunction with today’s release, IAN reveals the music video for focus track "Don't Go Insane”, which premiered on Zane Lowe’s global New Music Daily show on Apple Music.“Before MITO, there was Insanity,” shared IAN in a previous statement. “The ‘Dear Insanity...’ EP serves as a prequel to the expansive MITO universe. Spotlighting Mr. Insanity, who first appeared in the MIITO short film, ‘Dear Insanity...’ follows IAN’s journey to and throughout the dreamlike realm known as ‘The Other Side.’ As he traverses through The Other Side, IAN slowly begins to lose his sanity bit by bit, thus turning into his new alter ego ‘Mr. Insanity’ at the story’s climax.”'Dear Insanity...' arrives nearly 15 months following the release of IAN's 2022 full-length studio album, "Moodswings In To Order," which enjoyed immense global success debuting at #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers chart, #6 on the World’s Albums chart, and #7 on Spotify's Top Albums Debut Global and US charts respectively. The project has since accumulated more than 50 million streams to date in the US alone solidifying IAN as one to watch and earning him coveted spots on prestigious summer festival lineups such as Coachella, Head in the Clouds NY and LA, Lollapalooza, and many more. The accompanying MIITO short film, a testament to IAN's artistic brilliance, was also directed and edited by the multi-faceted artist himself. The captivating film came to life during a sold-out, whirlwind 4-month world tour that spanned North America, Latin America, the UK, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The tour was met with tremendous enthusiasm from fans across the globe, further cementing DPR IAN's status as an international sensation. “DON’T GO INSANE” Official Music Video : Follow DPR IAN: Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube | Website 

CLUB MILD [FORMERLY KNOWN AS M1LDL1FE] RELEASES NEW SINGLE "SUN GAZER”

On changing the band's name, frontman Paddy Ong explains:"It felt like a good time to do so, with the new music we have, a change in band line-up and it being a while since our last release. The new name feels like it fits us for who we are now and the music that we will be playing moving forward; a marker for the next chapter of our musical journey."Known for their lush electronic textures, eclectic dance grooves merged with the pop sensibilities of guitar-driven indie music, Singapore's indie-pop sensation Club Mild (formerly known as M1LDL1FE) has consistently pushed the boundaries and continues to redefine their musical identity. In the midst of major shifts, the band emerges stronger than ever as they unveil their latest single, "Sun Gazer", released via indie label Where Are The Fruits. The track delves deep into the universal themes of regret and the overwhelming sensation of facing one's own mortality. Listen here: orcd.co/clubmild-sungazer Titled "Sun Gazer", the dynamic track explores Nietzschean existentialism, weaving a tapestry of introspection that resonates on multiple levels. This indie pop anthem combines vivid lyrical metaphors with funk guitars and pulsating electronic beats - a musical ode to facing mortality, embracing meaninglessness, and the overwhelming power of being the author of your own life.With a chorus that beckons, "I wanna go back and undo the things I’ve done", the song captures the sentiment of being paralyzed by the weight of past mistakes. But amidst this introspection lies a spark of hope, a yearning to transcend the confines of regret and find forgiveness within. Just when you think you've unravelled the song's intricate layers, "Sun Gazer'' undergoes metamorphosis, transporting the listener to a dancefloor where electronic pulses and textures mirror the heartbeat of existential contemplation.The group has undergone significant changes to their sound and lineup, including the rebranding of its name from M1LDL1FE and bidding farewell to one of its members, Jeryl. The band is now a trio with bassist David Siow, guitarist Tan Peng Sing and Paddy Ong as their front-man. These transformations signify a new chapter in their musical journey, with "Sun Gazer" serving as the first instalment of what's to come.Of the new track, Paddy shares, "The working title for this song was actually “Jeryl’s House”, so it feels like a nice send-off for him as we part ways."It's evident that Club Mild doesn't shy away from exploring and bending genres while staying true to their own signature sound. Peng Sing explains, "A lot of the lead lines in the second half of the song were inspired by house and techno music, so it was just a matter of translating that into our own sound. We had a lot of fun layering and making my guitar sound like a synthesizer."David elaborates, "When we envisioned playing this song live, we envisioned taking the audience on a journey with us - first to feel good dancing to the song whilst contemplating bad life choices, then getting down and dirty with us in the second half of the song and truly letting loose."The band has had numerous successes throughout their career. From their debut EP 'PAIRS' to their hit singles "In Your Arms" and "Ariel" which were followed by their sophomore EP 'M1LDL1FE', they have continued to win over new fans and music critics alike. They've garnered praise from media across Asia and even in the UK from DORK and Clash Magazine.They've performed on stages across Southeast Asia, China, and Spain and have opened for international acts like Last Dinosaurs, Ginger Root and Death Cab for Cutie.Club Mild are set to release their debut album in the fourth quarter of 2024, with their sights set on touring and collaborating internationally.

Cody Jon Announces New EP 'DEATH WOBBLES' & 2000's Inspired Track "Shoot!" Out Now

CODY JONRETURNS WITH BUBBLY NEW SINGLE“DEATH WOBBLES”LISTEN HERE Sydney-based triple threat Cody Jon returns with his latest single accompanied by a music video, "Death Wobbles", the first single from his upcoming second EP out later this year via Saint Lucky Records. Fans can stream "Death Wobbles" here: codyjon.lnk.to/deathwobbles"Death Wobbles" is about a passionate but fleeting relationship, filled with the highest of highs until things start moving too fast and get out of control. Cody Jon wrote "Death Wobbles" with what he calls "the Lily Allen effect" - writing sad lyrics over a bright, energetic track, in this case, a speedy "drum n bass, 2000s car-chase beat".Cody Jon shares, “Death Wobbles is the sudden shaking of your skateboard as you zoom down a hill so fast you lose control, an amazing rush of adrenaline, a feeling like no other, but you know you're going to crash at any second. Who is gonna fall first? Who will jump off? Who will crash? Either way, this won't be pretty.”Written with "dirty dancing" collaborator Charley and Australian producer Taka Perry, the song explores the downhill turn in the relationship, moving into a sudden tempo change for the resolution after the climactic crash. Rounded out with a funky, laid-back outro, contrasting the high-speed nature of the track. A sonic ode to 2002 movie and video game soundtracks, "Death Wobbles" features special easter eggs hidden in the production. The snares, hats, and transitions are made from the wheel and trick sound effects in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 4, one of Jon's favourite games growing up.The Melanie Or-directed music video fits very much in the same world, with Cody Jon starring as our very own Chad Michael Murray, replete with Motorolla flip phones, chunky camcorders, blow-up pool toys and a teen bedroom only befitting of Freaky Friday's Anna Coleman.Since first debuting his temporal mash with "dirty dancing", and "Becky's Plan" in 2022, Cody Jon continues to amass praise across triple j and Unearthed, iHeart Radio, MTV, Early Rising, ELLE Japan and more following his debut 'untied shoes' EP. His dazzling live show which already includes debuts at BIGSOUND and SXSW in Austin was rounded out with his own headline tour following a Tai Verdes tour support, and performances alongside the likes of Gretta Ray, Peach PRC, and more.Follow Cody Jon: Instagram |Facebook | Website

On this occasion of ASEAN Day, AirAsia has collaborated with Malaysian synth-pop artist Sam Lopez, also known as Lost Spaces, to commemorate and display the rich diversity of Southeast Asia.

As a brand that connects all 10 countries of Asean and their various cities, airasia has brought together more than 700 million people in the region, celebrating our differences and similarities. This ASEAN day, the airasia play team hit the road to take our guests on an audio journey through Southeast Asia. Presenting Sounds of Asean, a music project with a line-up of tracks featuring five songs from five cities - Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Jakarta, Manila and Singapore, each track is based on field recordings and features audio bites from these eclectic destinations.Pictures takes from Warner Music MalaysiaFor this project, airasia enlisted Malaysian indie synth-pop artist Sam Lopez (aka lost spaces) to visit these cities, mingling with  the locals, embarking  on adventures, capturing the  sounds and sampling the vibes of Asean along the way.Inspired by the heritage buildings, hawkers, jeepneys and tuk-tuks, train announcements, temple bells and even local cats, Sam has created the Sounds of Asean for airasia, an audiovisual experience that brings the listener (or viewer) closer to the rest of Asean, allowing them to immerse themselves in the region’s rich, intricate tapestry. This project features a full playlist and an upcoming travelogue series on Sam’s guide to his favourite places in each of these cities.  “Bangkok is one of my favourite cities, I call Kuala Lumpur home, Singapore is just so well-planned and walkable. I love Jakarta’s music scene, and this project also brought me to Manila for the first time! Before this project, I’d never thought about how different yet ‘same same’ we are in Southeast Asia, and it’s been fun to work on this project and come up with these tracks. I hope the vibes of each city inspire more people to get out there and explore the world,” said Sam.Citybells (Manila)Manila was filled with history and culture which I had never experienced before as I was visiting there for the first time. The cathedrals were majestic and the people were so friendly. I decided to make the track with church bells in mind, having sampled the bells of the Manila Cathedral.Garden Futurama (Singapore)Singapore felt like a blend of a garden utopian city with beautiful futuristic city planning and connectivity. I loved their MRT lines, being able to travel from one side of the city to the other within minutesNADA KOTA (Jakarta)In Jakarta, I managed to travel to one of the oldest parts of town and it felt like I was in a mini art and music festival at Kota Tua. Stumbling upon so many buskers and artists that were performing in the middle of the area, I wanted to have more of a live instrument beat for this track.Initially, I wanted to track live guitars but then opted to approach the song with my signature synths and pads. I also sampled some angklung, an Indonesian musical instrument, and used that as the main melody and built it around the song.I also managed to meet up with some friends in Jakarta and they showed me around the art scene at M Bloc Space, which was so cool. It made me feel like I was in an “Indo city pop” music video.GOLD RIVERS (Bangkok)Check out the full music list on Youtube by local pop musicians Sam Lopez!

情歌驻唱王子 Kenny 刘国晖和大马第一饶舌女歌手 Elva 苏妍首度合作,合力操刀一首跨风格单曲 “想你到这里“,并于 8 月 8 日 正式发行。这次的跨风格合作,《想你到这里》从词曲到 MV 都由 Kenny 刘国晖和 Elva 苏妍亲力操刀,也是马来西亚中文音乐界里罕见的轻摇滚情歌。为何轻摇滚?《想你到这里》这首情歌选择使用轻摇滚作为该歌曲的曲风,是为了通过直接和情感化的歌词,表达个人的情感和内心世界,刚中带柔的编曲,细腻宣泄着处理情感问题那种内心的挣扎。图片1:KENNY和ELVA现场演唱《想你到这里》《想你到这里》是在诠释着每段感情结束初期的无助与绝望,同时传达了思念和离别的情感,无论结局是可控或不可控,它向听众传递了要学会从受伤中自愈,思念的终点即是新生的深刻含义,要去接受、找回最初的自己,然后继续坚强的生活。一段感情的结束不是结束,而是为了更好的开始。随着生活压力增加,抑郁倾向普及,歌手希望这首歌在成为有共鸣的宣泄以后,也可以提醒和鼓励别人 ,为自己的思念画上一个仪式感的句号,让想念止于这里。跨年代、跨风格合作图片2: 主持人与KENNY ELVA访问时段Kenny 刘国晖觉得在完成《想你到这里》的过程中最具挑战的部分是与合作搭档Elva 苏妍之间的年龄差距。根据 Kenny 所说,他所听的歌曲都是 90 年代或 2000 年代的流行歌曲,加上他们的歌唱风格也有差异,所以一开始还蛮害怕会与 Elva 有代沟。直到作品出来的那一刻,他才意识到原来之前自己所担心的都是多余的。Elva 则认为整部作品的制作都由他们亲力亲为去参与,除了在各种细节要求更能够尽善尽美,过程中也学习很多。另外,Kenny 和 Elva 两位出色的音乐人都表示自己对于音乐的期待是为了让大家看见马来西亚也有很不错的中文音乐。他们也希望当《想你到这里》正式面市后,可以得到广大听众们的支持,细品这首跨风格的音乐作品,并希望大家在听到这首歌的时候可以想到某个人、在某个时间好好地释放自己的情绪。图片3:大合照两位歌手在发布会同日,也在 Simply Live by Tin Box, TREC Kuala Lumpur 进行了一场售票公演,现场演绎“想你到这里”之余,也现场演唱了超过 20 首曲子,获得 超过 300 名观众、艺人及业界知名人士出席。Kenny 刘国晖和 Elva 苏妍全新单曲《想你到这里》MV 于 8 月 8 日 首播,之后将在各大电台、YouTube 频道及数位平台上架。观看《想你到这里》官方MV :

Along with the announcement of Coldplay’s 2024 Asian Dates, the band have also revealed their support acts for Tokyo (Yoasobi), Kaohsiung (Accusefive), Kuala Lumpur (Bunga), and Jakarta (Rahmania Astrini). Born Noor Ayu Fatini, Bunga started her career in the music industry as one of the finalists of 16 Baris. Performing with her signature baju kurung outfits and a hijab, she made global headlines when The New York Times, and several other international media referred to her as the first hijabi rapper. Ever since her debut, Bunga has inspired young Muslim women to break the stereotype that hijab wearers are not just conformed to a certain field and have the capability to be movers while maintaining their Islamic faith.Since signing to Warner Music Malaysia, Bunga’s career has blossomed further by exploring multiple music genres and releasing chart-topping local collaborations with the Queen of Ethnic Pop, Noraniza Idris (“Intan Payung”) and Amsyar Leee (“Belai”), while dabbling in some acting in several local television dramas. Bunga was also featured on a collaboration with international artist Pink Sweat$ last year (“I Feel Good (feat. Bunga)”), and she performed the song with Pink Sweat$ during his set at the Good Vibes Weekender in Surf Beach, Sunway Lagoon. Since the Music of the Spheres tour’s first date in March 2022, the band have sold over 7 million tickets - more than any other artist in the world - receiving rave reviews from fans and critics alike and picking up accolades including Favorite Touring Artist at the 2022 AMAs and Tour of The Year at the 2023 iHeartRadio Awards.Connect with Bunga : Instagram | Facebook | Twitter | YouTube Last week, the band issued an update on the tour’s sustainability initiatives, revealing that, on a show-by-show comparison, their current tour has so far produced 47% less CO2e emissions than their previous stadium tour in 2016/17, and that 5 million trees have already been planted around the world (one for each concert goer). DHL is the Official Logistics Partner of the Music Of The Spheres World Tour, supporting the band in their mission to cut the tour’s direct emissions by 50%.  MUSIC OF THE SPHERES WORLD TOUR (ASIA DATES): NOVEMBER6: Tokyo - Tokyo Dome (Support: Yoasobi)7: Tokyo - Tokyo Dome (Support: Yoasobi)11: Kaohsiung - Kaohsiung National Stadium (Support: Accusefive)12: Kaohsiung - Kaohsiung National Stadium (Support: Accusefive)15:: Jakarta - Gelora Bung Karno Stadium (Support: Rahmania Astrini)22: Kuala Lumpur - National Stadium Bukit Jalil (Support: Bunga) JANUARY 202419: Manila -Philippine Arena (Support: TBA)23: Singapore - Singapore National Stadium (Support: TBA)24: Singapore - Singapore National Stadium  (Support: TBA)26: Singapore - Singapore National Stadium  (Support: TBA)27: Singapore - Singapore National Stadium  (Support: TBA) FEBRUARY 202403: Bangkok - Rajamangala National Stadium (Support: TBA)

lullaboy Blazes a Trail For Misfits In His Latest Single “cool”.

Indonesian-Singaporean hitmaker lullaboy, returns to the scene with a hymn for the nonconforming, titled “cool” - his second single of 2023.Not a stranger to SEA-Pop, this Berklee College of Music alumni has garnered over 1.6 million monthly listeners on Spotify and has toured over multiple countries across Southeast Asia (Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines and Indonesia). His success in the SEA-Pop industry has reached heights far beyond his humble beginnings as a YouTube bedroom-cover artist, where he nurtured a burgeoning community of adoring listeners.A coming-of-age story, ‘cool’ is the zenith of lullaboy’s beliefs and life values. Hiding brutally honest lyrics in a poised and effortless, synth-ridden cruise of a track, lullaboy creates an anthem for anyone tired of trying to “fit in” just to be accepted by the world. lullaboy lyrically enumerates characteristics of the played-out bravado of the self-sabotaging, peer-pleasing, and carnage-romanticizing youth - the antithesis of what he stands for. He leads the track with a message that shines a light on anyone lost on the path to appeal to the idea of being “cool”. An encouraging message for the misfits, he beckons them to remain grounded in their path, to not be swayed by the pressure of changing themselves, and to stay true to who they are.“The more my career and journey evolves, the more I’ve begun to realise that nothing is more important than following your heart and staying true to who you are,” he says.“cool” was produced by Jacob Attwooll (who’s other credits include Dua Lipa, NCT127, TXT, Enhypen) and co-writer Ricky Manning (who's credits include Carlie Hanson, Lennon Stella, and Why Don't We) and it serves as a reminder that in a society where we’re supposed to be something, just be yourself.“With more young adults now struggling to find themselves, I hope this song empowers listeners to embrace their uniqueness and love themselves”, he concludes.“cool” also marks his third single release under RedRecords following his success with “Shortcut To Heaven” and “van gogh”, available now for downloads on iTunes and streaming websites such as Apple Music, Deezer, JOOX music, KKBox, Spotify, YouTube and YouTube Music.
