Antoine - Let Ur Hair Down

30/9/2021

 

BURN CITY // MELBOURNE

"How you giving off the perfect combination,
Make sure I know you want it,
But still got me hesitating,
Flirty but not sloppy,
A hottie but no thotty,
The pants were thrifted,
But the the perfume smell of Versace,
Giving vibes confusing,
Vibing wit a winner,
But still feeling like I’m losin',
Lost in them dark eyes,
Lost up in the brown skin".....
While the breeze blows cooler in the city of angels, the temperature is steady rising for the southern hemisphere - particularly Burn City, and Antoine slid in just in time with his tempting summer ready single, 'Let Ur Hair Down'.

Antoine audibly lures in all the right elements, only to release them on Let Ur Hair Down.
It's light'n'chill, dreamlike inducing, with a perfect tempo and a touch of seduction.
 Let Ur Hair Down is 'move dem hips' certified and IG caption ready with Antoine's flavoursome flow and flirtatious lyrics. The magnetising production is served by the amazingly talented Servidsounds, who effortlessly invokes a mysterious frequency of escapism, accompanied by Antoine's gentle tone.

​"I wanted to create an easy listening experience.
I love the simplicity of this song, the melody is catchy and not too complex.
You don’t have to think too hard or listen too hard. Also, it’s a perfect representation of how things are today. 
We are young, we are free. Live a little, don't worry about what people will say, what people will think, what may or may not come of it, just be in the moment and do what you want… just Let Ur Hair Down" - Antoine.


Coming outta Westside, Melbourne, Antoine and his team are familiar with the lockdown struggle, but gift us all with a much needed escape...one reminiscent of warm nights, chemistry, attraction and freedom amongst the city lights by the beach side.

Antoine has plans to continue to spoil his listeners with a live stripped back video of Let Ur Hair Down, and a couple of noteworthy collaborations (*Timomatic + more), releasing soon.

While you patiently wait, follow Antoine on IG and keep Let Ur Hair Down on your rotation.

K.O.N - Forever

23/9/2021

 

IN YOUR CITY MUSIC: NASHVILLE

Picture
"If I could hit a summersault before I hit a flip,
And stick the the landing,
On a balance beam,
I know you wouldn’t trip, 
You'd probably ask me for an encore, 
Know you love gymnastics,
When I’ve been bending over backwards, 
But I’m hanging with some actors,
And they treat life like a movie,
Hope I make it to the credits,
I’ll be fine,
I hope my debit don’t decline"...
It is what it is, what it is but it'll never be forever, and that's just how it is on K.O.N's freshly released drop, Forever. 

K.O.N's vibe of satisfyingly simplistic meets with a message that is realistic. 
It goes like: everything is temporary, life is full of changes, adaptability is required and this too shall pass with everything else in between, and it's produced by Brokebewoy with K.O.N adding his touch during the process. 

Forever comes with all the trimmings by Brokebewoy, jazzy trumpets, mellow piano tones and a touch of cosmic aura that are all entwined with the classic motto of life - it is what it is, delivered by K.O.N.

"After not dropping any music for about half a year, I felt I definitely owed my supporters some kind of music.
Since I’d dropped Pastel in February, I’d put a lot of my focus into finishing school. I felt school was taking a lot of time and energy from music so I needed to go ahead and wrap it up. By the grace of god, I was able to finish in May. When I found the beat in June, before i even wrote the lyrics, I knew this would be the next single I dropped.
It was long overdue" - K.O.N.


K.O.N seals his track Forever with his distinctive flow, unbothered tone and adroit lyrics that'll have you doing a double take.

"Forever is just a depiction of my life this past year, wrapped up in a bunch of metaphors. I’ve definitely been blessed but this year has been pretty rough. The main idea of the song is that everything is temporary. The highest points, lowest points, women, money, and circumstances are all temporary. A lot of the times we can feel so trapped in the present and in the pity that we have for ourselves that we forget that our circumstances are temporary, and that we’re still in control. But at the same time I wanted it to vibe" - K.O.N.

Currently working on another body of work, K.O.N has a few upcoming surprises before it releases, along with potential visuals for his day one fans to enjoy. 

Until then, keep Forever in your rotation and remember that 'it is what it is, what it is, but it'll never be forever'.

Ekka - Leased Affection

18/9/2021

 

IN YOUR CITY MUSIC: Melbourne

"You weren’t perfect,
I was average,
You were worth it,
Put the work in,
Made it happen,
Everything they want we had it,
Every week was getting better,
We were learning our habits,
And dedicating our time,
As much as we could have managed,
Who could imagine it could be us,
Became so established"....
When the seasons change, relationships end and Burn City rapper 01EKKA is perfectly on time with his evocative
track Leased Affection, mixed by dizz1 and original beat by sketch my name.


01EKKA transforms through candor, vulnerability and an immersive pen game, while delivering all of those familiar feels over a backdrop of melancholy. He takes it a step further with the sentimental Mary J Blige Sample,
Be without you. 

"I wrote it during and after a breakup that lacked communication.
I used writing the first verse as a means of trying to understand, and hold myself accountable, I felt the writing had to be just. I wrote the second verse separately, a month or two after the breakup, when I was coming to terms with the idea of being alone. I reflect this in my writing unintentionally by switching to past tense and using a more reflective expression. I wanted this verse to end honestly but optimistically, recognising what I do still have, (friends and talent) and saying that I want to lift those around me. This train of thought was the driving force behind directing the music video, starting alone and ending in unity, opposing the nature of a breakup"  - 01EKKA


The ending of a relationship is universally relatable and Leased Affection captures the seasonal changes after a break up, the mental affliction, the reflection, the light at the end of the tunnel once the clouds of emotion have dissipated.

"Everyone can turn their pain into something positive, and their most valuable asset is their perspective" - 01EKKA.

The video for Leased Affection, filmed by Tomise is available to watch above, and while 01EKKA plans his next release we will be keeping him in our rotation. Keep him in your rotation by clicking the link below on Spotify and follow 01EKKA on Instagram.

iNTRO - Third Party

6/9/2021

 

IN YOUR CITY MUSIC: NASHVILLE



"Got mariju-juana come and roll my shit, 
You’ll be outta your mind girl in just one hit,
Come to the party Third Eye’s my clique,

And we known to get gnarly know ya heard bout this, 
I’m into problems yeah I solve that quick, 
Why you acting so cautious?
Come take that risk".....
'C'mon now what y'all think about this? Cover ya ears and read iNTRO's lips' on his mellifluous track, Third Party.

iNTRO is rolling and smoking tf out of the unflawed Aebeat, and we gotta say it's an easeful combustion.
​From the get go, iNTRO flows through his verse like a controlled blaze over Ae's igniting production, mixed by MixedbyCole and Jackellr and mastered by Chris Athens.

If the term puff puff pass was converted into sound, Third Party would definitely represent!
iNTRO shows up and introduces a crossbreed of mellow and turn up, all in a snippet of a couple minutes.

Third Party is an embodiment of introvert and extrovert, flow and control, chill yet dominant through his lyrics and energy.

"I really wanted to give listeners who may not be familiar with me something they could digest and get a pretty good idea of who I am. Making this song I felt like I was rapping in slow-motion. 
​Third Party is all about inviting the listener to party how they would if they were showing up to the function with me. Even being as chill as I am, you hear at the end I still know how to turn it up!" - iNTRO.


With his newest album release 'Welcome To Next Year' (WTNY) making the rounds, iNTRO has plenty more dope content for our readers in the next few months.

While y'all keep your eyes peeled on iNTRO's IG for more content, we will be keeping Third Party in our rotation.

Vanessa Librea - Te Quiero

2/9/2021

 

IN YOUR CITY MUSIC: MELBOURNE

"Can you take the lead?
Won’t you give it all to me,
Relieve my every need,
Si tu Sientes,
Lo que yo siento,
Vamos Papasito, Vamos papasito,
Tell me,
Tell me if you say you want me babe,
Show me, show me baby if you wanna stay,
Salsa with me, Drop it with me,
Papi don’t play with me".....
Salsa with her, drop it with her, but papi- mami don't play with Vanessa Librea on the caliente Aldwin Cajili produced single, Te Quiero.

Serving a glimmer of sensual spice, with passionate Spanish guitar undertones and an upbeat chorus,
Filipino/Australian Model Vanessa Librea has 'deep dived' in showcasing her talent with her latest release.

Don't get us started on the video....
Steamy, elegant moments of flair and intensity pour out in the form of the RMR visuals.
We know spring just started in Burn City but damn, someone turn on the A/C already, cause Vanessa Librea is heating things up in here.

Te Quiero is giving us early 2000s vibes and we oooh are we here for it.

"Te Quiero is the English equivalent of 'I want you'.
The inspiration is based upon the thrill and excitement you feel when you meet someone new, along with the journey they can take you on" - Vanessa Libera


And what a journey it is.
​
Inspired by the likes of J.Lo, Selena and Celine Dion,
 
Vanessa Librea is focused on revealing her own originality and staying true to her vibe with a number of future releases, so while we wait, follow Vanessa on IG and keep Te Quiero in your 2021 rotation.
