OUT: Reece Lemonius releases his first single of 2020 'Body Language'
Boasting gorgeous vocals and versatile soundscapes, 'Body Language' is reminiscent of 2000s feel-good, guilt-free pop/R&B. The synth-tinged track is a new direction for the artist, both sonically and thematically lighter than Reece Lemonius’ previous hits. Fittingly dropped on the day of love —February 14— the track was inspired by a wordless connection between a girl at a party as they danced the night away.
'Body Language' including a video is out now. Check it out!
We already look forward hearing and seeing more from Reece Lemonius this year!

OUT: DAS NEU release their second single 'Kids'.
With their new song 'Kids' (Video), german hip hop act DAS NEU create a bittersweet story of failure, escaping the past and the estrangement towards your own youth. The band discuss their restless but aimless search of the abstract word 'home' and describe the loss of their relationship toward their home town and former friends.
Everyone can relate to these feelings. Everyone fears them. But they seem to be inevitable in life.

OUT: 'The Current' by hackedepicciotto
'The Current' is the fourth album hackedepicciotto have recorded since becoming nomads in 2010.
It is their most powerful album yet. After composing desert drones for their previous album 'Perseverantia' and dark foreboding melodies for 'Menetekel', their new album moves forwards, gaining in speed and energy. Alexander Hacke's background with Einstürzende Neubauten can be felt in the many rhythmic tracks.
"We had the urge to include more percussive elements and electronic sounds to create a powerful rhythmic feel. A wilder and more danceable element. Something to get all of us on our feet, and moving. Away from depression and hopelessness."
The classic background of Danielle de Picciotto has become more prominent as well. Glorious choirs and violin harmonies flow throughout the album giving it an almost symphonic sound.
The artist couple calls their music "cinematic-drone" and their album sounds like the film track to an apocalyptic feature-length film, hopefully with a happy end.
Video for The Seventh Day was directed by the Spanish artist Helio León and shot in Cork, Ireland in the last days of December 2019.

Trentemøller's 'Silent Night'
We wish you a great holiday and all the best for 2020!
Hello, this is Trentemøller.
I have genuinely loved Christmas since I was a little boy.
And I always wanted to do my own version of one of the great Christmas songs.
I chose Silent Night as it has such a beautiful melody that, for me, sums up the whole vibe of Christmas.
Originally it was a lullaby and since I became a dad, 'Silent Night' made so much sense to me especially as it's my girlfriend Lisbet Fritze who sings on it.
On the cover it’s me with my mom one Christmas night many years ago.
I hope you like my take on the song and may I wish you the very merriest of Christmases and the happiest of New Years and thank you so very much for letting me spend this Christmas with you.
