HOT New Album Fridays: Benny Sings - Young Hearts

Benny Sings has us bouncing in our chairs with GLEE! Young Hearts is a fresh, new, and exciting pop album by an artist that you can tell truly loves what he does. He sings with passion, vigor and playfulness on Young Hearts and leaves our hearts pumping with joy. The album touches on 70s pop, soft pop, and sounds like a mix between Paul McCartney and Joe Jackson. We are thrilled to share this monumental new pop album with you. Check out the album below and full press release: Full Press Release: Today marks the release of Benny Sings' new album Young Hearts, via Stones Throw Records. The album features his recently released bossa nova-inspired track, "Pyjamas," which includes vocals from Remi Wolf and a music video directed by her. The two recently spoke to each other for The Talkhouse, which described Benny as "making the sort of breezy songs that easily get stuck in your head." For Benny Sings, making music isn’t just an art; he sees it as one of the lines of work that make the world go round. He says, “I wanted to be like a baker, I wanted to be like a paver. Everybody works hard to make the world a better place, and I would do the songs.” For nearly twenty years he’s been perfecting that work, culminating in Young Hearts. Young Hearts is Benny Sings’ first record made with a single producer — beatmaker-to-the-stars Kenny Beats. The pair connected over DM, after which Kenny invited Benny to work from his home studio in L.A., where they would jam and write during the day. They’d riff off each other, sharing stories, melodies, and adlibs with collaborators Kenny invited over, relaxing into the anything-goes vibe. Whereas Benny’s always written autobiographical songs, on Young Hearts he looks outward, creating a fictional cast of lovable losers – the kind of bumbling, luckless eccentrics you might find on a lost Steely Dan record. On “Pyjamas” with Remi Wolf, Benny sings as a guy who’d rather watch a documentary than jump into the sack; “The World” captures a '70s nostalgic feel, about “living it up” wherever you are; “The Only One” describes an obsessive romantic who daydreams about a woman unaware of his existence, and the title track imagines a pair of young lovers-turned-addicts chasing pleasure through drugs over an FM-radio piano line. “The antihero is at the heart of my music,” Benny explains. He has enormous empathy for these hapless folks — because he sees himself as one. “It’s who I am at the core. Soft. I hope that someone can listen to these songs and think, ‘I’m not Superman but maybe I can still save the day’.” Benny Sings Tour Dates: March 24 - Roeselare, Belgium @ TRAX March 25 - Amsterdam, Netherlands @ Paradiso March 28 - London, UK @ KOKO March 29 - Paris, France @ Le Trianon March 30 - Berlin, Germany @ Lido April 5 - Rotterdam, Netherlands @ Maassilo April 6 - Utrecht, Netherlands @ Tivoli Vredenburg June 9 - Søndermarken, Denmark @ Syd For Solen July 9 - Rotterdam, Netherlands @ North Sea Jazz Festival July 14 - Meco Sesimbra, Portugal @ Super Bock Super Rock Read the full article

[Pyramid] [The Alan Parsons Project] [1978] [LP] This is the third masterpiece of The Alan Parsons Project. Nothing more needs to be said. Besides the phantastic instrumentals, once again some great tearjerkers on this Album. . . . . . “What goes up must come down What must rise must fall And what goes on in your life Is writing on the wall If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all? If all things must pass Even a miracle won't last What goes up must come down What must stand alone And what goes on in your mind Is turning into stone If all things must fall Why build a miracle at all? If all things must pass Even a pyramid won't last How can you be so sure? How do you know what the earth will endure? How can you be so sure? That the wonders you've made in your life Will be seen by the millions who Follow to visit the site of your dream What goes up must come down What goes around must come 'round What's been lost must be found” . . . . .

IM AT TGE GROCERY STORE AND THEYRE PLAYING A SOFTPOP COVER OF NUMA NUMA WHAT THE FUCKKKKKKKKK

[lilyblisslys]

question for other transfemmes, how do you feel listening to lesbian/wlw pop music? Thinking like Boy Genius, Hayley Kiyoko, Chappell Roan, etc.

other examples bc apparently not everyone is dating someone who loves sad softpop would be like, Scene Queen, Phoebe Bridgers, Lucy Dacus, uhh I think mitski is bi(?)

Final piece of the drum case (for now) is here, from a pre-order a while ago: Xodes ABD (Acid Bass Drum). This patch happily takes it into the Rook/IDUM ecosystem to  free up Taiko/Daiko for more novel percussion.

Melodic atmosphere is Softpop 2 processed by Korg’s Nu:Tekt. Nothing too special, just quantized randomness with a pleasing voice.

Nothing “too special” today, but it’s just nice to try to play a little something every day. I was listening to this patch for so long just in the background, going back to re-record a couple of times before finding a take I liked. I hope to find ways to keep adding progression to the drums, especially by modulating Rook’s length and shift params which I end to do manually right now, and bring both cases together for more fully fleshed out pieces.

the marias new album 'Cinema' cover

[nosvemosenprimerafila]

Necesitábamos un chute de sentimientos, necesitábamos el EP de LA CLARIDAD.......... Ya en plataformas el aterciopelado debut de los madrileños La Claridad, soft pop deudor de la escena del Donosti Sound, de Family a La Buena Vida. Cinco cortes que rezuman juventud y sensibilidad, con la delicada producción de Lucas Bolaño de Estrella Fugaz.  Texto: Dani Cantó (Nota de Prensa) Se acabó la espera para escuchar el debut de La Claridad, para ponernos blanditos tumbados en el sofá y escuchar las canciones de estos cuatro jóvenes de Madrid, dignos herederos del sonido de Donosti. Y es que la super banda ha sacado un trabajo de debut de los que hacen historia y dejan mella. Producido por Lucas Bolaño, de Estrella Fugaz, el disco es espacial y aterciopelado, con las voces de Javi e Irene cantándonos a la oreja, canciones sobre amores que se desvanecen, sobre soñar despiertos, sobre los recuerdos. Es difícil no sentirse arrebatado por una música adulta y aterciopelada. A esperas de que llegue el vinilo a principios de diciembre ahora podéis hacer pre-reserva con un estupendo pack de camiseta y vinilo, solo disponible hasta el 25/11. Una manera única de decir que, cuando La Claridad debutaron, vosotras estuviste ahí ;)  He cerrado los ojos y me he imaginado en otro sitio. No sabría bien decir qué hay ante mí, la brisa mueve las hojas y Javi e Irene cantan en mis oídos, me piden que camine, que no me detenga. Se hace de noche más temprano, el otoño se vuelve invierno, ante nosotros todo es ocaso, pero lo es de una manera sencilla, el crepúsculo es tranquilidad y ya no existe la ansiedad que nos ocupa las horas del día. La Claridad son banda sonora a un estado mental de cierta transcendencia, ese en el que los pelos se erizan, levantándose hacia el cielo, huyendo de tu cuerpo. Mariposas, gusanos, todo se revuelve.....

Textural ambient patch with some envelope logic to let Strega, pixel Softpop, and a rich digital tone from Akemie’s take turns as the primary voice. It took a bit of fine tuning to get Akemie’s to “strum” right at the end of the noise rise from SP. Only thing I wish is that this had gone through a compressor to alleviate some of the harsher cuts in and out, but other than that I like a lot of what’s going on here and definitely want to explore using Akemie’s more for texture especially as I get other percussive options.
