Reno Valay – Ride Together

By 44faced on Aug 15, 2020 in Music - 0 Comments

Reno Valay is a talented artist and songwriter who sets the bar higher with his warm and present vocals style, fueled by his personal lyrics. Production-wise, this release makes me think of artists such as XXXtentacion or JuiceWRLD, but with a more uplifting feel. “Ride Together” kicks off with a mesmerizing arpeggio, and it later delves into a trap-soul beat, with some vocal melodies that will instantly sink in: the perfect sing-along.

About Reno Valay: With a signature sound that blends hip-hop/rap with R&B melodies, get ready for multi-hyphenate threat and star, Reno Valay!

From a Jamaican household, born and raised in Montréal, Québec, Reno Valay is a talented young artist who has always had a strong passion for music and the arts in all their various forms. With encouragement from his mother, Reno learned to play the piano at the age of seven and his love for music grew from that moment on. Reno’s first public performance was on Jamaica Day in Montréal and he booked gigs throughout his hometown, going on to compete on Talent Nation (formerly This Is Talent) becoming a finalist. As a young and talented artist, Reno then made the decision to leave his city, the flashing lights of Toronto’s entertainment industry calling his name.

With accolades and talent abound, Reno cites artists like 2Pac, J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar as some of his biggest inspirations. His respect for them stems from the way they told their stories and he strives to write music that is charged with the same kind of passion and emotion to tell tales of his own. When you see Reno, you might be wondering where you’ve seen him before. Well, in addition to music, Reno is also a talented actor, dancer and model. Best known for his acting work in Murder Wall and Rev (2020), Reno also appeared in Hello Au Revoir alongside other actors from all across the globe.

Reno Valay has been heard on radio stations in Canada, United States, Brazil and Europe.

Reno Valay represents Montreal, Qc/Toronto, On.

Fallen Aries – Memento Mori

By 44faced on Aug 11, 2020 in Music - 0 Comments

In the words of Fallen Aries: “The music is very inspired by horror and horror movies, as are the lyrics. Everything from lore and myth to popular fiction and things I’ve made up on my own. It’s a lot like horror punk, but metal and electronic.

“We’ve always wanted to blend styles of our favorite artists like Rob Zombie, Wednesday 13, and Motionless In White etc. with all the industrial and symphonic stuff from our scene as well, and bring something new to the table to get the people dancing as well as head banging. I love blending genres, and using electronics and keyboards with drums, guitars and other traditional metal instruments to get new sounds and new ideas.”

Strangely Arousing – Rain

By 44faced on Aug 10, 2020 in Music , Reviews - 0 Comments

“Rain” is the first single off Strangely Arousing’s upcoming EP. It is a unique blend of reggae/dub and hip-hop that can only be described as the love child of a threesome between RHCP, Sticky Fingers, and Fat Freddys Dub, and it has a message about being selfless, and the progression into socialism to ensure everyone has enough.

Lush production with a wide range of depth, fat punching kicks, rock-like snares and shimmering cymbals, as well as deep and full piano with eerie synth and electronic work, subtle trombone and trumpet licks smoothing in-and-out, and vocals that span wide like the instruments blending in a middle point between reggae and hip hop emceeing, Strangely Arousing display instrumental, vocal, production, and engineering prowess as they musically communicate a high unified energy through their careful attention to detail and ability to build on a masterful flow.

About Strangely Arousing: Strangely Arousing is a five-piece progressive reggae/ska band from Aotearoa, New Zealand, effortlessly blending other genres and styles of music to create their own unique sound, laced with brass, synth, dub, and guitar. Strangely Arousing straddles the line between the bizarre you know you love and and the weird you don’t know you love yet like old pros. Whether you come to marinate in dubs and bass, or simply to melt into a puddle on the floor, Strangely Arousing offer a new wave of music inspired by New Zealand’s legendary hip-hop and reggae dub forefathers.
