With this new 7-track project, Like What brings a level of authenticity with “Unpunctuated” to timeless hits of escapism, captivating listeners in a way that perhaps hasn’t been done in quite some time. The balancing of the hypnotic rhythms that make you want to move and the intriguing, unpredictable aspect of the album are bound to leave a lasting mark on a listener. Like What is swiftly and rightfully gaining recognition across the global scene. With the release of this brand-new full-length project, that evolution is set to reach greater levels than ever. With this project, it’s been amazing for him to visualize his music for once and be able to translate this deeper and more atmospheric experience that expresses itself with the music.

Like What escapes monolithic labeling with “Unpunctuated”, reaching unprecedented heights by fusing many genres together with roots in electro-pop, synth-wave pop, dream pop, and dark wave to authenticate a sound that cleverly defies genre stereotypes.

The opening track, “Unpunctuated” is such a classic hit that is both catchy and timeless. The sheer amount of technical dexterity on display is incredible. The timely hit drums and other signature electronic cadences make this a groundbreaking song, with foot-tapping retro vibes conjuring images of a 90s club scene with revelers dancing to the music with reckless abandon. At its heart is an unforgettable hook, with the enchanting vocals lusciously slinking through the soundscape, exuding such an irresistible allure. There is also an inescapable European influence that gives this tune a broad appeal.

“Out Alive” features a wavy atmospheric vibe with a deep, driving, and fast-paced snare kick beat that makes you want to dance on your feet in time with the beat rhythm and audacious melody. This is a masterclass in Synthwave that is energetic and uplifting, and yet there’s still a very immersive, ethereal side to the arrangement that beautifully contrasts the speed and intensity of the track. The swirling synths and driving bassline combined with the intricate electronic percussion add such ambiance, personality, and edginess to the mix, making this a beautifully haunting masterpiece. The vocals are a seamless fit with this pulsating production, whose beauty and charm defy imagination!

“Time To Let Go” is another beautifully haunting raw masterpiece; I found myself ruminating on the ineffable beauty of this stupendous track, with the song’s sagacious production and lush arrangement wrapping themselves over the listener like a warm blanket, enveloping them with a sense of serenity and tranquility. This is such a splendid track, with a contagious energy backed by such instrumental and vocal dexterity.

You can’t truly understand what Like What does that makes the impressively dark and haunting “Burn” so evocative and unforgettable, only that he did it, and he really elevates a listener spiritually, somehow closer to the greater force that many call god, destiny, or the universe. This track is spellbinding, with rippling synth accents and mellow orchestral pulses brandishing the vocal circle; attaining a sacred power that allures the listener like a siren. If I happen to find myself in hell, I’d very much prefer this to be the soundtrack marinating my suffering—the track has layers upon layers of textures, elements, synths, and vocal performances worthy of the Hollywood screen!

“Unpunctuated – Dance Mix” features an invigorating fast-paced and driving beat with impeccably balanced instrumentation showcasing incredibly dynamic parts and pulsating rhythms that will undoubtedly put you in another dimension where you get completely lost in the music as you dance the night away in a state of music-inspired euphoria.

I could elaborate further, but instead, I’ll let you savor the staggering showmanship on display in “Unpunctuated”. Follow the link below, turn up the volume, and immerse yourself in each captivating track.

There has always been an indomitable character in the voice of one phenomenally gifted singer-songwriter, producer, and performer, Zenon Kesik; an urgency to share his intense energy, manifested through vibrant pop and rock music composed by the artist himself. He writes from a personal place with tales that closely relate to him or others around him; once he discovered his unique voice, he utilized it to forge a strong emotional bond with listeners, aided by his distinctive vocal quality.

In his art, which is both relatable and accessible, Zenon delves into deeply personal issues that resonate with listeners, presenting them in a universally understandable manner. The concept album “Lucky Man” features 8 tracks, all with complementary top-notch music videos that perfectly fit each song’s essence and narrative. It is like watching a mini-movie, and it is absolutely magical!

“Party Time” actually feels like a record off of Michael Jackson’s catalog; catchy and upbeat with a contagious energy and mesmerizing lyrical concept about a man who is missing the moments they shared with his ex-lover and is trying to recreate that feeling by himself. The energetic mix and captivating vocals render this an unforgettable tune that merits a spot on any music lover’s playlist.

“Don’t Ever Push That Button” is a raw masterpiece with a universal theme about war and its devastating impacts. The stupendous music video fits perfectly with the song, it’s very creative, fantastic, and an ingenious way to get the message out: there is nothing good that comes from wars, just loss and devastation.

“Lucky Man” is an enthralling piece with a deeply emotional narrative at its heart, delivered from a soldier’s point of view who is faced with a difficult choice of being there for his family or serving his country; both of which are dear to him. Zenon’s powerful vocals ebb and flow through the soundscape expressively and vividly. The cinematic piano really heightens the impact of this track and offers solid support for his raw and distinct vocals.

After listening to every song in this collection, I believe Zenon Kesik is remarkably underrated; his extraordinary talent deserves wider recognition. He is so fresh on each and every beat…in fact, his music feels like a warm blanket of peace and nostalgia that wraps you up whenever you need comforting.

Luke is Definitely Not Luke in musical terms! This headline hitter has built a signature sound that incorporates crafty musical fusion of any genre you could think of, including the DIY lo-fi sound. Definitely Not Luke has actually built a ponderous fanbase off of unanimously acclaimed projects like “Jupiter”, “Wonderful” and “Crashing”, gaining him massive traction in the music scene; for example, he has over 20K Spotify monthly listeners! The development of his eclectic sound is the result of a lifetime of musical influences, and after honing his sound over the past few years, Definitely Not Luke’s music now provides a unique combination of genre-defying melodies, eccentric lyrics, and effortlessly powerful vocals.

Definitely Not Luke’s new EP “Cantelau” has been the talk of the town lately, with a massive number of listeners quick to critically acclaim it on the digital platforms, gauging by the tremendous stream numbers the tracks have been generating!

And this is no fluke at all; “Cantelau” is a representative of Not Luke’s impressive style that is not limited to any genre lines as he craves for that freedom and goes on to deliver such a sonically elegant and timeless piece as this.

The rawness and intensity of the guitar riffs in the banger “3AM” give this tune its undeniably agreeable rock embers. Genre-wise, “3AM” is drenched in rock, showcasing once again the recording, mixing, and mastering prowess of Definitely Not Luke.

With meaningful and socially relevant lyricism at its core, Not Luke manages to deliver a more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively catchy pop anthem in the track “maybe”. This tune just has a vibrant pop-ish tone that makes you just want to dance along like no one’s watching.

The third track “Every Second” kind of cleverly summarizes the two tunes with its genre-bending qualities, which make it fit anywhere you feel it deserves; trust me, after listening to it in its entirety, you will absolutely know!

I get  why Luke, or Definitely Not Luke chose to separate his real name from his creative name, albeit humorously! By denying his ‘name’, Definitely Not Luke can focus on his art, without external baggage and disturbances; that’s a rare gift in today’s overwhelming world!

There is your hero, there is your headliner, and here is your magnificent EP that is worthy of setting the mood for any occasion; follow the attached link and have at it!

I love the organization of these movie-like episodes that somehow prepare the listener for what to expect from this collection.

Three episodes are already out, and I am now looking forward to the fourth, which, as is customary, will be released this coming Friday.

He pays tribute to the artists who inspired him by performing some of the greatest hits that made him fall in love with music. By adding organic instrumentation to the melodic spark, he allows this album to feel nostalgically familiar yet ethereally original- such a marvelous conundrum for any listener!

You can hear a blend of R&B, Pop and Hip Hop music which makes this album very interesting with covers songs by artists like Beyonce, David Guetta, Drake and many others.

I feel this is one of those therapeutic collections that will get you through all the emotions you could ever think of. I give Zachary James his flowers together with the other invited guest acts who made this a complete body of art that expertly allows the tunes to transition into each other whilst still retaining their authenticity as the seamless body of works.

Starting us off with “FAKE LOVE” where Zachary James treats us to his own version of versatility and dynamism by coming through with an endearing cocktail of a tuneful and rhythmic track that will feel your heart and soul with rhapsody. Starting on a lively instrumental note, this track flaunts numerous elements starting with the grandiose piano delivery with that proves to be a great introduction, as it builds up from a steady flow into an exciting crescendo.

“THE 90S” brings a very nostalgic vibe, and rightly so, it gives an ode to the golden era as the melodies draw you in and place you in a fantasy universe between the 80s and the 90s. The track continuously gains pace and adopts very expressive elements along the way to keep a listener guessing and heavily invested.

Throughout the album Zachary James is sensational and his voice like a spectrum of sorts carries and displays these emotions present in the tracks, all with their own degree and severity and each with a powerful scale. His unique performance takes a natural and slinky ride through the euphonious pondering and not once does he catch a glitch! There is so much to sink your teeth into even from the other tracks, “Falling Slowly,” Roses,” “Happy Ending,” “Blessed,” “Here I Come,” and “Happy Ending”

This is an absolute favorite and its indescribably invented melodicism fits perfectly with the emotions being displayed by his soaring vocal performance. If you’re looking for something new—or just want to add some variety to your life—Zachary James is a great choice!

You have to give credit where credit is due, and no one comes close to the established rapper, music producer, and entrepreneur Bob DeNiro, who has been delivering new music since the beginning of the year. After the success of “Every Dream Matters,” the Delaware-based rapper returns with “Evil Genius 2,” a sequel to the “Evil Genius” album. In this installment, Bob finds himself inspired by his tumultuous relationship with his son’s mother.

From meeting her to the eventual breakup, a lot is distilled within “Evil Genius 2”, as well as many other complex themes such as religion and guilt.

Bob DeNiro is a true emcee with a virtuoso understanding of cadence and sounds, capable of constructing alternate universes with his lyrical flow, which has earned him a loyal audience.

With meticulously immaculate attention to detail in his lyrics, beats choice and imagery, “Evil Genius 2” lives to its name delivering a masterful, thought-provoking and highly exciting collection of hip-hop cuts that will take you on an unforgettable journey through the mind of a genius. “Evil Genius 2” is truly a masterpiece in its own right!

“Out The Way” gets this masterpiece started and is explosive right from the word go and jumps at a listener with a deep-phased quality melody and anthem. His vocals take on the flow of the cadence and he manages to offer some rap-flavored and juicy flows proving he is a man on a mission and why he will forever reign. Such inspiring confidence is everything you need to start off your day.

In the track “Whatever You Need,” he really brings the gun to the fistfight—his complex bars are a timely reminder of how he has been exercising his life with commendable audacity; a testament to exceptional productivity and that indisputable rare expression of his unstained expertise in delivering some impactful lines!

“Wake Up” is that powerful wake-up call remade in effective hip-hop manner, with DeNiro displaying his style and fashion on that impactful hip-hop flavor.

Features are used brilliantly throughout, from Richard Raw impressive inspiring lyrical flow on “Get Better” to Meelah Mylove lovely vocals on “Was It Real.” Even with exceptional features, DeNiro is the star of the show, switching between impassioned crooning and masterful bars without hesitation.

There is an abundance of creative concepts on display, and this album originates from deep within his heart and soul, as he can give one hell of a sensitive performance in tunes like “Was It Real” and “Heartless.” Even going so far as to produce a Reggae track as the outro to the project, Bob DeNiro has cemented to us the absolute truth that he is a multi-facated artist and overall creator. But all in all, Bob DeNiro still retains roots in the Rap genre; with constant hit after hit

The musicianship on display is phenomenal and I always like to compare his deep-level lyricism to that of J-Cole’s as he delivers powerful facts seamlessly in his natural state like an adept master of poetry!

“Evil Genius 2” has already begun to rack up numbers on Spotify alone in such a short period of time as worldwide listeners stream in great numbers to quench their appetite for some true rap-transcending music.

The story has been written thus far and it is a story of success that reimagines innovation into powerful art; Bryan C. Simmons born in Vallejo, California is at the forefront of this story. This consummate jazz pianist and composer found a way to tell his endless tales through resonant melodies and that is why he has been swiftly blending melodies with inspiration in mind so as to articulate powerful tracks that entrance much more than the ears- this reaches deep within the soul and heart of a listener and rekindles all feelings that might have been hiding.

He has had the honor of touring the world with three-time Grammy Award-winning artist Fantastic Negrito and also performing at various sold-out events globally. Bryan C. Simmons leveraged some of the inspiration he got from nature during the pandemic to come up with a 7-piece masterpiece dubbed, “Nature’s Harmony Vol. 1.”

Melodies like these are the best to lose yourself to with nothing but an open mind as you peacefully meditate over every detail; reliving within that limitless imagination that each track affords. Every tune in here is open for interpretation and that is the best thing as it exudes different emotions for every listener.

“Cloudy Blue Clouds” for example has that marvelously engulfing melody that offers an inexplicable retrospection that emanates from most normal days. It’s more like the typical feeling you get when walking and looking up in the vast sky with the clouds forming shapes that feel artistic more than coincidental!

“Mosswood” exudes instant gratification with the melodies build around the trunks and stumps of trees frequently found in morasses. This tune is near-mystical and the best to study as it augments that element of concentration in your mind that is always welcomed!

There is so much more from this nature-inspired collection that will be officially available on the 21^st and I honestly cannot keep calm. This is much more than the music- this is pure art that is indescribably magical- stay tuned!
