GAWD’s new single “Two Hot” is on fire

Get ready for a musical journey like no other as GAWD (@gawdherself), the psychedelic dance R&B duo consisting of Alana and Alayna, take center stage with their scorching new single “Two Hot,” out today. With their distinct blend of R&B and a spellbinding sound that transcends genres, GAWD is keeping up their momentum and paving their own lane in the music scene.

“Two Hot” is a spirited and lively anthem, accompanied by an engaging visualizer that captures the essence of joy, as the duo revels in carefree dancing and exuberance. This single offers a taste of what audiences can expect from their upcoming EP ‘Cathedral City,’ set for release on September 8th, 2023. The project will be accompanied by mesmerizing visualizers for each track, offering an immersive experience that complements the sonic journey.

The name GAWD, standing for “Good Ass Women Deserve,” is a testament to their dedication to freedom and expression. As Alana and Alayna explain, “Our music is a love letter to the creator and creation itself,” and their acronym affirms their worthiness of the good that arises from their artistic dedication.

Hailing from diverse origins, Alana originally from Pomona and Alayna from Memphis, GAWD is now based in the vibrant city of Los Angeles. The duo’s artistic journey began under the starry skies of “Cathedral City,” a desert retreat that sparked their creative union. This tranquil backdrop led to a series of harmonious melodies that seemed to reverberate within the high ceilings of a cathedral, inspiring their unique sound.

“We wrote these songs to soothe and encourage ourselves and we hope it does the same for all who lend an ear,” GAWD says.

With influences ranging from Jones Girls to Pharrell, GAWD weaves a sonic tapestry that draws from a wide pool of musical inspiration. Their passion for music is deeply rooted, as they describe it as a vessel to connect hearts and minds, inviting listeners to both feel and reflect.

“We hope they feel unstoppable,” GAWD says. “We hope they feel heard and seen and know that their experiences and opinions matter. We hope they feel amplified and see themselves in us in the way we see ourselves in them.”

Olamide releases sonically impressive album ‘UNRULY’

Prepare for a musical odyssey of monumental proportions as the globally acclaimed African music luminary, Olamide, unveils his magnificent album, “UNRULY,” resonating across the music landscape and officially released on August 9. The mastermind behind this auditory marvel, Olamide, delivers his tenth studio album in collaboration with YBNL Nation and EMPIRE. The title “Unruly” is an emblematic nod to Olamide’s unbounded artistic ethos, an essence that reverberates through all 15 tracks of this sonic spectacle.

Liberated from the confines of convention, each song within “UNRULY” is a testament to Olamide’s instinctual creative impulse. As he candidly puts it, “there was no contemplation on what I should do, I just did what I wanted to do, epitomizing the essence of ‘unruliness.'”

The album’s compelling lead singles, ‘New Religion’ and ‘Trumpet,’ have amassed a staggering 100 million global streams collectively, garnering acclaim from industry giants like Billboard, Clash Magazine, Hypebeast, and Complex. Olamide’s unbridled creativity and his distinctive approach to life are palpable throughout “UNRULY.” Acknowledged in Billboard’s ‘International Power Players’ 2023 list, this Nigerian visionary ventures into genre-defying brilliance, collaborating with Grammy Award-nominated producer P.Priime (known for work with Wizkid and Burna Boy), acclaimed super-producer Magicsticks (associated with Asake and Davido), and his long-standing creative partner Eskeez.

“UNRULY” stands as a showcase of Olamide’s genius in curating an ensemble of afrobeats’ brightest emerging stars. Collaborations with Asake (‘New Religion’), Rema (‘Mukulu’), CKay (‘Trumpet’), BNXN (‘Come Alive’), and Fireboy DML (‘Shibebe’) not only spotlight Olamide’s commitment to nurturing new talents but also underscore his dedication to advancing the afrobeats music landscape. These collaborations embody more than musical partnerships – they epitomize unity and progress within the Pan-African music realm.

Olamide’s legendary status shines even brighter as he gracefully shares the spotlight, championing the genre’s fresh voices and enriching the tapestry of afrobeats music. “UNRULY” isn’t just an album; it’s a testament to Olamide’s uncontainable creativity and his pivotal role in shaping the trajectory of contemporary African music.

TMF Precha is weaving emotions through sound in new song “Build”

Hailing from Milledgeville, Georgia, the birthplace of musical talents like PAP Chanel and Fish Scales of Nappy Roots, TMF Precha (@tmfprecha) now calls Jones County, GA, his artistic home. The moniker “TMF Precha” combines his initials and a nickname that reflects his journey – originating from his middle school days when a preacher was often sent his way to steer him back on track, a theme mirrored in his track “Bent Rules.”

TMF Precha’s musical style is a unique blend of rap, pop, and blues, which he says draws occasional comparisons to the iconic André 3000.

“It’s flattering — as those guys definitely influenced me,” he says. “But I kind of feel it’s just the deeper vocal tones and country twang they’re hearing, but I don’t know.”

Describing his music in his own words, it’s a fusion of rap’s rhythm, pop’s catchiness, and the heartfelt narratives of blues.

For TMF Precha, music transcends passion; it has been a lifeline during his wilder years. His compositions convey emotions that words alone couldn’t capture. Influenced by the likes of Bone Thugs, Field Mob, The Fat Boys, Outkast, Lupe Fiasco, and JellyRoll, his musical journey is an amalgamation of diverse inspirations.

His recent creation, “Build,” unveils a transformative phase of his life. Born from a turbulent relationship and his subsequent journey as a single father, the track embodies the evolution of love and the understanding that every twist and turn has led him to the present. Inspired by a remarkable woman – an author, teacher, and stay-at-home mom – the song marks a new direction in his musical exploration.

A remix to “Build,” featuring YellowBunny is also in the works, adding another layer to the narrative. But the story doesn’t end here; an eagerly anticipated debut album, featuring collaborations with Chino XL, X-Raided, Cameron Airborne, Odd Squad Family, and more, is set to drop towards the end of 2023.

Beyond the melodies, TMF Precha’s music carries messages of love, growth, and the power of embracing one’s past. His compositions resonate with anyone who treasures the journey of their relationships.
