Month: September 2021

Using his musical talents and lyrical gifts, Dr Jaymz, an EDM (electronic dance music) artist from Boston has released a new single – ‘Tidal Wave,’ to combat a growing crisis plaguing the United States – opioid addiction and overdose deaths. The Centers for Disease Control says drug overdose deaths spiked nearly 30% this year, with other countries following a similar trend. It’s a bleak milestone, and this grim data is even more concerning after overdose deaths were on the decline since 2018.

Dr Jaymz is different from any other EDM artist. As the world’s first missionary to become an EDM artist, his goal is to transform lives through music. From the narrative lyrics, to the sizzling dance music and character-driven video, his new single is showing people that drugs aren’t the only way, and there is a hope that can break every chain and addiction – the living water. Dr Jaymz says, “My desire behind this song was to create a dope electronic dance beat with an uplifting drop and lyrics that inspire hope, which is especially important in today’s crisis-stricken world.” In other words, Tidal Wave is more than a song, it’s a message of hope for all those who feel trapped in a world of addiction and depression. Its message will inspire listeners to look beyond their current situation and be awakened to new life in Christ – the living water.

This is a message that can relate to all of your audience. There are times when everyone feels lost without hope. As data shows, many people turn to drugs and other outlets to numb their pain. The opioid epidemic needs unique and exceptional ways to reach people. Tidal Wave is a different way to reach members of your audience who feel tempted by drugs or trapped by addiction.

Out now on Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and Amazon Music, via Horus Music, Soma Ryder, from Tema (Ghana) follows up his Tm Boy 4 Life (2019) release with a melody filled, groove-laden dancer entitled “Seihor” on the Bettafella music label.

Award-winning singer-songwriter Benny Allen has done it again, racking up another No. 1 single with ‘Sing A Song For Me’, out now. Released September 3, ‘Sing A Song For Me’ hit No. 1 on the iTunes Country Songs Chart and No. 10 on the All Genre Songs Chart.

Describing it as a song for those who can’t write love songs, Benny was inspired to write the song after chatting with friends about how people fall in love if they can’t write a love song.

“I’m in the very fortunate position where I can do that,” Benny said. “For the people who can’t write the love song – this one’s for you and maybe people can play it to the person that they’re trying to sort things out with.”

Benny said the song was about people who were trying to make a relationship work because they still cared about the other person and they still want the other person to think about them, so ‘sing a song for me’. “I’m a storyteller, so I just want people to hear the story,” he said. “I’ve always been really happy with this song and having now recorded it and hearing the way that it’s all come together, I’m really proud of it.”

With Michael Carpenter again in the production seat, Benny recorded the piano and vocals at home near Melbourne, with Michael adding the rest of the instruments in his studio in Sydney with Madi Hodder on backing vocals.

“I’d been playing it like a folk song on guitar and was going to record it that way, and I only sat down on the piano two days before I was going to send it to Michael and I was still unsure of where I was going to go with it, so I sent both guitar and piano versions,” Benny said. “When Michael said we could do it one of two ways and said piano power ballad, that’s when I knew that that’s what I’d been trying to achieve with it.”
