Posted in Alternative, Careers, Dance, EDM, Electronic, Indie, Music Review, Pop, Press Release, Single by

Award Winning Orlando-based Indie/Pop LGBTQ Recording Artist Craymo has graced our platform several times and has been a close friend of the Artist Reach camp since we came onto the market. Known for his very versatile and innovative signature sound, Craymo’s tendency to write catchy and anthemic songs is not only apparent, but inspirational as well – and he brings that concept to the forefront full circle with his 20th anniversary release for his hit “One Love, One World (We Are One)”.

Accompanied by a conceptual official music video, this uplifting reggaeton number has Craymo’s signature futuristic style with distinctively versatile and inventive melodies paralleled with the multifaceted and multilayered production value he is well known for. This song without reservation diligently lives up to its title and concept both musically and lyrically, serving up an atmosphere of powerfully wholesome lyrics that touch on many key social and societal issues ranging from equality, unity, conservation and human rights. It’s a song that will easily entice you with its catchiness and at the same time deliver a powerful message just about anyone can identify with. As always, Craymo’s mid-to-high range vocals are brilliantly executed with several implemented angles showcasing his knack for effective harmonies, structures and cohesive measures; giving his audience a taste of something fresh yet still identifiable among the Pop and EDM sensibility.

This song is also proof that even though it’s an oldie, it’s still very much a goodie. This reinvented and reimagined version of a classic song among Craymo’s discography is a more than coherent exercise of shining a light on how an artist evolves over time, and it’s truly an interesting listening experience when you take a listen to the original version of this song then jump into the new version. Craymo’s ability to innovate his sound is more than apparent with this version and every one of his releases have successfully raised the bar from its predecessor just about every time.

“One Love, One World” has also garnered several awards and has been a huge impact on its own merit with its positive humanitarian message, which is expressed through Craymo himself as one of his primary goals with this song specifically. The track won the “Best Pop Dance Song”” and Best Pop Dance Mix” categories in the Fall 2021 Clouzine International Music Awards. The music video also recently won the “Award of Excellence” in the 2022 One-Reeler Short Film Competition and is currently a Finalist for “Best Pop Music Video” in the 2022 Indie Music Channel Awards in Los Angeles. The original music video won “Best Video” in the Worldwide Music Contest. The original song also won the “Best Song” category in the Hollywood Spiritual Film Festival. “One Love, One World” upon its release successfully became a top 10 download for ten consecutive years on the United Nations Project UNESCO website New Songs forPeace.org and was used as a learning aid to teach English to impoverished children in Pang Liu village in China. School teachers from all over the world started downloading the song, teaching to their students who then performed the song at their schools across the USA, Australia, China, Canada and the UK.

Overall, the 20th Anniversary version of this song not only revisits one of Craymo’s most notable and award winning releases, but also reimagines it with several innovative flavors to make it a standout of its calibre. We highly encourage you to take a listen to the original version of the song first, then this new version – that way you can hear just how much Craymo has evolved with his ability as an artist both conceptually and musically. You will not be disappointed in the least. Craymo always delivers the goods and this time is no different, and if anything, he had successfully stepped up his game even more.

Posted in Careers, Dance, EP, Music Review, Press Release by

Emerging from the San Jose, California west coast scene, rising Dance-Pop artist Dejhare has been hitting the ground in the music world since 2018 and since that time has amassed an impressive buzz and presence since coming out the gate. Dejhare‘s musical vision is comprised of using her music to reach out to people on a very personal level, giving the listener a front row seat to her own life stories, trials and tribulations via musical form. And her most recent EP, Lovescape, is a clear demonstration of this.

Dejhare’s signature sound is very hypnotic, melodic and really captures her essence and aura through her instrumental structures and lyrical concepts. Lovescape, comprised of six well-crafted anthemic and atmospheric songs, does a very diligent deep dive into Dejhare’s overall vision that truly leaves you as the listener in complete awe of her craft both lyrically and vocally. Opening track “Light Up” delivers a perfect demonstration of this, serving up a signature modern style that is melodically visceral in its execution and innovative in its production value. This song showcases Dejhare’s mid-to-high vocal range very effectively and also shines a light on her ability to structure a lyrical concept that is not only relatable, but musically punctual as well.

Another highlight from this EP is “Under A Spell”, a hypnotic track with soothing landscapes of synth and melody that does perfect justice to the song title. This dream-like song explores the concept of challenges that come with a long distance relationship and also expresses the emotional devotion that takes place within it. Dejhare delivers sensual and soothing verses that build up to a very climactic chorus, giving the listener a rollercoaster of emotions as the song plays out to its cleverly faded outro. This one is definitely a personal favorite and truly captures some of Dejhare’s most notable elements as a vocalist and songwriter.

One last highlight on this EP is closing track “Going Solo”. A song that touches on the concept of moving on after a bad relationship and the emotional barriers that take place during the process. Once again, Dejhare’s vocal delivery is hypnotic and melodically visceral; paralleling perfectly with the uplifting tempo and synthy progressions. This is another track on the album that definitely has one of the most standout choruses. It not only gets completely stuck in your head, but really ties the whole EP together in a way that’ll entice you to do a deep dive into Dejhare’s career altogether. Every song on this EP is cleverly crafted and has been given the proper attention to detail it deserves. Dejhare’s vocal tracks are punctually perfected both lyrically and musically, serving up a strong delivery that showcases her abilities as an artist just about perfectly. If this is your first time hearing her, then Lovescape will make you an instant fan. The production value on this record parallels perfectly with the performance value, two key elements that are not only crucial, but game changing when it comes to today’s industry.

Lovescape is available now on Spotify, SoundCloud, Apple Music and several other streaming platforms. You can also find Dejhare’s other releases off of her discography as well. This is an EP that will easily amaze her current fans and create new ones. Once you yourself take a listen, you’ll definitely be enticed to check into other parts of her catalogue and keep a close eye on her future releases as well. We can’t recommend this one highly enough.

Exclusive Artist Interview: Masonx

Posted in Alternative, Careers, EDM, Electronic, Indie, Instrumental, Music Review, Press Release, Rock by

Hailing from the northern west coast scene of Eugene, Oregon, rising multi-musician, artist and producer Masonx (derived from his birth name, Mason) has been on an insatiable industry incline since hitting the ground running in the market around 2020, so far proving that his multifaceted signature sound is not only a fresh one, but innovative as well – combining elements of several genres and styles to create something that is not only effective, but authentic and original. His experience as a musician and producer is very apparent and he really showcases multiple angles of his skill, spirit and writing style in every release – which is why we feel he deserves to be highlighted in this exclusive interview feature.

Specializing primarily in instrumental tracks, Masonx conjures up an Alt-Rock/Dreamwave oriented musical concoction and flavor with his utilization of guitar, bass, synth and drums for material that is all self produced, self performed and self written, respectively. He currently has two albums out and has a slew of material in the works that will be slated for release sometime in the near future. With his very active and determined mindset in the forefront, we decided to sit down with Masonx for an exclusive interview regarding the past, present and future.

•How long have you been active under your artist name?

Officially online as Masonx for almost three years now!

•What music scene/city do you currently represent?

I am currently living in Eugene Oregon and it is full of creative people, luckily i have a few collaborations in the works and finally getting out there as a producer.

•The pandemic has really thrown a wrench into the live music experience and for artists altogether. How has it affected you and your career (if at all)?

The pandemic has been really chaotic youre absolutely right, tragic things have happened and that usually causes artists to create as a coping mechanism. I guess the same goes for me.

•What are some of your music influences?

The main ones I can think of are Enigma, Thievery Corporation, Flying Lotus and so many more.

•What kind of concepts do you tend to write about as an artist? Shine some light on that.

My first album ‘ Paradise Matrix ‘ is a concept album about the future of mankind, where technology is headed and a possible alien presence on this planet. The second album is more organic and less intense, ‘Sacred Gardens ‘ is the concept of finding solace during hard times, its more down to earth and calm.

•If you could put together a dream show or tour, what bands/artists would be on the bill?

Good question! Probably a tour with Thievery Corporation and play some downtempo type tracks I’ve been working on! Someday I hope!

•When is your next release coming out?

August 7th! This album is going to be awesome should be out on all major online outlets. Very excited to share what I’ve been working on.

•What’s in store for you for the rest of 2022 and going into 2023? Give us the goods.

I have so many plans for this year and have so much music in store! An ambient album, a vaporwave album and a drum and bass type album. Also several collaborations with other talented musicians. Good things in store!

Encapsulating a signature sound that diligently blends an ambient 80s/90s Indie Rock sensibility with today’s more modern approach, Nick Duane’s uniquely captivating songwriting and lyrical concepts have truly manifested into something that is both original and versatile in its execution; drawing in fans from many different musical backgrounds and tastes.

With a slew of releases under his belt since his debut record, the recently released fourth album Broken Promises is a true pinnacle of Nick Duane’s craft and really showcases his dynamic ability to put together a collection of songs that captivate your attention with his classic yet futuristic Indie Rock sensibility. Completely self produced and written, this 12-track record sets a tone that is both anthemic and atmospheric. Each track compliments the next and Nick proves that he truly knows how to write/tell a cohesive story both lyrically and instrumentally. Comprised of rhythmic grooves, crunchy guitar progressions, ambient key textures and anthemic vocal melodies, Nick delivers a solid execution on this record equally between the factors of performance and production value. His mid-range Bowie-style vocals fit his Indie style diligently and his thought provoking lyrics offer up a futuristic flow that is both interesting and original.

One of the notable tracks on this record is opening track “Anything”, a rhythmic song with a smooth bass line, crisp guitars and a catchy vocal progression that really sets the tone for the rest of the album. This song especially delivers very cleverly crafted keyboard riffs and smooth guitar leads, so Nick’s musicianship factors are very apparent as this track plays out. Another standout on this album is “The Old World”, an atmospheric tune with beautiful synth swells and guitar textures. This song especially shines a light on Nick’s versatile songwriting approach and really adds several new layers of depth. This song has hints of The Cure and Pink Floyd in it, which compliments Nick’s overall approach on this record and really explores a fresh angle of his musicianship factors.

One other notable track on this record is the album single “Birthday Greetings”, an acoustically driven anthem with several atmospheric layers and textures that brings Nick Duane’s signature sound to the forefront. This soothing track has very rhythmic progressions and leads that compliment each other throughout the song, and with Nick Duane’s story-telling vocals at the helm partnered with effective vocal melodies, this song truly hits it out of the park and brings every element of this record into one tasty flavor. Fans of the Dark Side of the Moon album will especially love this track, but even with nods to some of the original Rock greats throughout the record, Nick’s style is completely versatile, original and insatiably catchy. Any fan of the Indie Rock genre, no matter the era, will appreciate this record in full. It brilliantly brings together the essence of old school flavors and today’s more futuristic and modern musical realms, all stirred into one solidly anthemic tasty stew that is Broken Promises.
