For one Marco Lowrey, the rich fabric of his upbringing is woven into the swagger of his adopted homeland- born in London to Ghanaian parents combined with spending some time in Ghana has resulted in his sound incorporating a unique set of musical influences that has gone on to resonate with audiences around the globe. From Afrobeat, dancehall, rap, Amapiano, highlife and beyond, Marco’s music delivers on every front the memory of Ghana that is never forgotten.

With his debut EP, “Against All Odds,”  Marco announced to the world what a profoundly versatile artist he is. This EP features tracks capable of lighting the fire in the streets as much as in the clubs; steeped in some motivational bangers, that dash of Ghanaian beats is seamlessly blended with an authentic lyrical flow to fashion a body of work that is as imposing as it is original.

The opening introduction features an intimate and conversational introduction that serves as the perfect teaser and attention grabber and hints at what comes next. And indeed, what comes next is just magical. The afrobeat in the tune “Money Motivation 2.0” are just irresistible. The way he fuses Afrobeats with pop in “Yo Body” is undoubtedly the perfect distillation of impeccable artistry and progressive sound design mechanics.

The scintillating marriage of Afrobeats and R&B in “Twe Da” just holds a listener captive and refuses to let go until the track is no more. If you are flexible enough, you just have to erupt with some gwara-gwara moves to the Amapiano beats in “Winning”—you just have to turn the volume up and move like no one’s watching!

“Glory” is as uplifting as it is entertaining. The afrobeats backed by the heartwarming singing of praise are simply spectacular and ear-worming.

“Against All Odds” is much more than just the music; this is a motivational collection to keep pushing and remind us that no matter what challenges we face, they are just for a moment. We will get through them; we just can’t afford to get stuck in the middle.

Using brilliance, innate charm, and an unequaled stage presence, Samara Cyn has earned herself a shockwave of intrigue from both the local and regional hip-hop communities who follow her style of music that spans multiple styles. Cyn always loves to keep listeners guessing as to what’ll happen next. What’s most impressive is that while possessing the versatility to fuse Neo-soul with hip-hop at any time, she has also managed to cultivate a very distinct style that always feels both unique and familiar. That undeniable ability to consistently capitalize on this duality is what makes Cyn an extraordinary musical face and force to be reckoned with.

Talking about extraordinary; Cyn is already making headlines with her new remarkable single, “pride’s Interlude”. This is the sort of sound you live through like a spiritual experience; it is less heard and more experienced!

With a laid-back, marvelously soothing soundscape that feels trippy and is mood-evoking, Samara Cyn makes her case heard with her candidly powerful and soulful vocals as she rides the beats like an experienced ski driver.

Her vocals are raw, and intimate and blur the lines between Neo-soul and hip-hop incredibly. Cyn brings rhyme and reason to the core of this tune that speaks of a clash of egos in a new relationship, and without anyone willing to yield, maybe the relationship is condemned to fail after all!

It’s just amazing how a track of this stature can bring you back to a certain time in your life. This is 2:40 minutes of soul and poetry that no new artist can even dream of reaching. I am just so excited about the feats Samara Cyn keeps on achieving!

“Pride’s Interlude” is now streaming on all platforms; follow the attached link and let this tune boost your playlist from this day forward!

For some time now, multi-genre singer-songwriter Van Wilder has been advancing music that is rich and intricate and authentically spans the spectrum of genre definitions in unique ways. Backed by his mastery of genre knowledge, Wilder commands the stage with complex and rhythmic grooves, fascinating audiences while they connect on a deeper level even outside the lyrical storytelling. And as a man who is always learning and willing to take his sound to the next level, he is set to continue reshaping and reinventing himself in this ever-shifting industry while staying on the cutting edge of new sounds and genres while still managing to maintain his essence as a versatile artist.

He has a new eclectic jam dubbed “FTPA” that is out now on all streaming platforms. The first time I listened to this tune, it actually hit me how great a songwriter Van Wilder actually is. This track is no different from what I consume on the radio and if anything, it actually is better than some of the tracks that make it on radio plays.

“FTPA” comes off genre-bending, albeit with a consistent pop dominance, as Wilder takes his listener deep into the cravings of a lonely heart that needs something to keep it afloat lest it succumb to loneliness!

Marked with theme-perfect lines that are catchy and easily quotable, “FTPA” is a track you can easily sing along to. The melodies are lush and prolific, and the way they have been designed with their seemingly lively and buoyant features means that you can also dance along to them comfortably!

Another strong highlight to this single is of course Van Wilder’s faultlessly powerful vocals; they are cottony, sweet-talking and glossy and lusciously slink over the luxuriant melodies, offering life to this masterpiece in inexplicably beautiful ways.

And that prepossessing cover art is telling in a way, and I acknowledge the creativity that went into designing it; it’s very eye-catching! I also found the lines “You can bring the tears

But you don’t know to wipe em up” very deep.

There you have it folks; “FTPA” is instantly recognizable with an abundance of likable components that I have no doubt you will fall in love with.
