[Pop] Aliana Lohan – All Around Me

Posted by TMN Staff - June 23, 2023

Aliana Lohan returns with an 80’s inspired gem called “All Around Me.” The energetic love song follows up her dance-friendly original “Already Home” that was released at the end of last year. Both tracks showcase a strong evolution of Aliana’s infectious sound.

“All Around Me” feels alluring and sexy while maintaining its captivating essence from start to finish. Aliana’s powerful performance is a bright contrast to the darkened production that gives this song an almost brooding dance pop feel. The single is an excellent addition to her growing catalog, one that feels like it restarted with her song “Without You” that’s approaching one million Spotify streams.

Expect more music as she moves towards her EP release!

[Music Video] Isaiah Brown – Please Be The One

Posted by TMN Staff - April 13, 2023

Back in November of 2022 Isaiah Brown released his debut album DREAMERBOY to a fantastic response by his fans and media alike. Continuing on that journey, Isaiah has expanded the music with video counterparts, most recently for the song “Please Be The One.”

The hip-hop meets R&B track was a standout on the LP, one that fans surely will be singing loud during Isaiah’s upcoming GENESIS tour. It’s one of our favorites from his album and the music video does it justice with its minimalist tone. It’s a fun visual with a laidback style that fits the vibe of the song. It’s not quite hot enough for the beach in most places, but let Isaiah take you there with this project!

“When we open our hearts up to the fullest capacity of the world and people around us, we discover the depths of our own existence and the power of positivity. Let us embrace one another as one collective consciousness, all striving towards a better tomorrow, for our children and our children’s children. One Earth and One Love under the power of God, The Universe, and Our Creator/Mother Nature.” – Isaiah Brown

[Indie/Pop] fknsyd – Taste.test Mixtape

Posted by TMN Staff - March 5, 2023

One of electronic music’s most promising topliners in fknsyd has stepped out on her own with the debut solo mixtape Taste.test. Having worked with Rezz, Slander, RL Grime and many more, dance fans already know her chops when it comes to creating, but now we get the full breadth of her talents and artistic direction thanks to a beautiful 9-track project.

Taste.test invites the listener into a world of chill soundscapes blending indie, pop, R&B and more for an experience anybody can sink their existence into. There’s a common message throughout tying the song’s together through a cohesive thread that showcases just what this project means to fknsyd as she heroically embarks on her solo journey. It’s a well crafted, strong first step and we hope to hear more from her!

“Taste.test is a compilation of songs I made over the last year or two. With my personal music I do everything myself, and I don’t feel overly confident about most of the skills involved in that process. As much as I’d like to only share things I feel completely satisfied with, I don’t think it needs to be that serious, and I realize whatever that standard is for me will be ever-changing. It doesn’t make me happy to stockpile a bunch of music. I admire people who share their art, so to me this is a step in the direction of feeling more comfortable doing that.” – fknsyd

[Pop] Aliana Lohan – Already Home

Posted by TMN Staff - December 23, 2022

With so many of us at the heart of holiday season, we’re at home with family. Music might be blasting, a movie might be on, but we’re together regardless. To celebrate that time together, Aliana Lohan has dropped her original “Already Home” at the same time that her and her sister’s Netflix film Falling For Christmas continues to takeover screens across the world.

“Already Home” is a poppy, dance-friendly jam that will even have your grandparents on their feet and dancing during holiday parties. Aliana took a step in a different direction from her more soulful single “Without You” that was also featured in the Netflix film. This new direction is fun, energetic and completely infectious. It also comes with the news that there’s more music from Aliana to come… EP maybe!?

[Electronic] Danny Olson – Firelight EP

Posted by TMN Staff - September 13, 2022

Over the past couple of months the cinematic composer/producer Danny Olson has been unveiling his highly emotional EP Firelight. Newly released on Seeking Blue, this four track project is the culmination of a journey that started last year after the sudden passing of Danny’s father.

Since then, Danny has gone through a massive journey through a vast array of feelings that have been creatively boiled down into a stellar musical homage to the most important man in his life. Danny’s first singles “Waking Up” with Becca Krueger and “I Hope You Know” with RUNN were incredible and set the tone for the EP perfectly, while “Firelight” stuns as the most unique and important song on the entire project. It doesn’t really fit neatly into a specific genre which makes it all the more enticing.

Danny closes out the project with a certifiable anthem alongside Linney called “Once Again” that has one specific moment in it that is really going to be special in a live atmosphere. It’s like a firework or confetti moment – a big cathartic blast of emotion that is sure to give you goosebumps!

[Synth Pop] RUNN – If The Devil Is You

Posted by TMN Staff - August 30, 2022

Just like the rest of the world that watched the newest season of Stranger Things, RUNN was enamored by the alluring Eddie Munson. The lovable misfit inspired the creation of “If The Devil is You” which follows up from RUNN’s previous solo single “How To Be Happy.”

We knew RUNN could do pop, but this synthy treat is an instant favorite among her incredibly deep discography. What makes this song even more special is that RUNN not only wrote and performed the song, but she produced it herself and released it independently as well. It’s a strong record that will have you falling for it just as easily as we all did for Eddie Munson.

“There’s something that Eddie embodied in the show, a misunderstood person, a complex and rough around the edges person, a social reject that really resonated with me. I’ve got a soft spot for people like that, and find that they’re the most loving and passionate people out there. I wanted to write a song to every person who’s ever felt like they weren’t supposed to love who they love, but said “fuck it” and did it anyways.” – RUNN

[Future Bass] Danny Olson x RUNN – I Hope You Know

Posted by TMN Staff - August 12, 2022

Danny Olson returns with the next chapter of his emotionally charged EP journey. This time working alongside the ever talented RUNN for the inspiring single “I Hope You Know” released on Seeking Blue. As the follow up to “Waking Up” from the upcoming Firelight EP it takes listeners through another expedition through the emotions of losing a loved one.

Despite losing his dad at times Danny found some comfort and inspiration in the lasting impression and memories that still remain. This uplifting emotional crux lives at the heart of this impactful song that really captured the scope of such a feeling. RUNN is as masterful as ever, while Danny shifts his style for a pop-centric hit. If you’re not paying attention – it’s catchy; and if you are, then it hits deep. Don’t let your playlist miss out on this one.
