You & the Nite, and every stories in between

It's never too early or late in the evening. The night is your comforting shroud.

Ladies, gentlemen, and people from out of this world: the fourth and last single off LEO37's EP album, FANFARE. I can still remember the release of Firedance, the kind of music enough to jump start the energy in any one who listens to the song. Now we've come to a more mellow type with soothing beats, honestly my favorite song from the EP, You & The Nite. Still present is producer John Poon's perfect rhythms and bass lines that go well with Leo's style, and also features the vocals of Lillian Chan, another talented and creative artist not only in the field of music but also in animation and film as well. If you give notice to every detail of the song: the lyrics, the rap, the drums, the tunes, you'll feel the same excitement I'll get.

Jumping from the street scene in the video of last single Gorgeous, You & The Nite showcases a blend in of reality and the animated 2D world. The story of the video tells of Leo's relationship with the night: the special time of the day when ideas come and an unusual kind of serenity envelopes the mind of any creative thinker. Artists, musicians, writers, adventurers, and a lot of people alike find comfort in the calming background of the velvet skies and the hovering dance of the moon. The song and this video describe that surreal scenario really well.

Let the Fire bounce

He’ll eat you with his beats, and drown you with his rapid lyrics. And that will feel good.

Presenting the second single from LEO37, one of my top followed artists on the web (since I can’t watch his show live), from his upcoming EP. He’s back with some electrifying-con-jazzy words and sounds, things that has caught my attention since hearing his song Icarus and Morning. This fascination I once wrote on a blog post last year. Now with Fire Dance, he brings back the same energy, something that will fascinate your ear if you’re not a usual listener to his genre. But hey, it’s all good, it’s all cool, and moments later you’ll never know that you’ll be head-bobbing to his music. That’s how this song reached me after I fed it into my system.

New Music Discovery: Happy Boy + LEO37 + Balance and the TravellingSounds

I was planning to write this piece last weekend but due to the current situation of Japan where I am right now, things kind of got off schedule. So before things get worse, I’m going to post this one already! The last week was full of new discovery on arts, music and designs, and for now I’ll be sharing these wonderful artists I found out while flying out on the Internet cyberspace. These are sure tune-shakers! Check ‘em out!

Happy Boy
Manila, Philippines

One talented music-man I found shared on the Facebook dashboard by a friend of mine. I clicked the link, played the button on soundcloud, and what came next was bliss. It was heavenly. I don’t even know this guy’s real name, but it didn’t matter. His samples are great. Amazing. I got fond of lyric-less music when I started listening to Caspian and El Ten Eleven, and this music creations of Happy Boy gave me a smile. Simple tunes, simple beats, simple cutesy notes. Perfect when you want to relax and want to travel in space or swim under the sea while lying in bed. Treat yourself also to some poetry reading on some of the tracks.

Here’s a sample from one of his creations. Check all of his tracks on his Soundcloud account. You’ll also get to download some of them for free.
