Peach Tree Rascals are a collective, dedicated to collaboration and community. They are a brotherhood, coming together to be more than the sum of their parts. Comprised of producer/mixer Dominic &#8220;Dom&#8221; Pizano,rappers-singers Issac Pech, Tarrek Abdel-Khaliq, Joseph Barros, and creative director Jorge Olazaba, the group started as a teenage “do-it-yourself” attempt at music, based out of a shed in San Jose, California. With most of the members being second generation Americans (the sons of Palestinian, Filipino, and Mexican immigrants), they quickly realized a deep, natural connection with one another, and grew into a single, harmonious unit.

Kunto Aji is one of Indonesia’s male singer/songwriter. He released his album called “Generation Y” in 2015. In September 2018, Kunto Aji released his sophomore album called “Mantra, Mantra”. Kunto Aji’s second album captures many people’s attention not only his fans. One of the things that may give an effect of this positive critic is because his songwriting had grown tremendously. In “Mantra, Mantra” he worked with 4 different producers; Ankadiov, Uga Swastadi, Petra Sihombing and Bam Mastro. Kunto Aji’s second album talks and spread the awareness of how important mental health is. His lead singles “Konon Katanya” reminds people to chase their own dreams despite what other people might say, “Topik Semalam” is a message about a guy who hasn’t proposed to his longtime girlfriend but asking her to be patient because he has his plan to do so, and also “Rehat” a self-reminder to people that it’s completely okay to take a breather for a while. The album went on to receive 5 nominations in Anugerah Musik Indonesia (AMI) Awards in 2019 including Best Pop Male Solo Act and Best Album.

A purveyor of slow and sensual R&amp;B, Rini rose to success at the end of the 2010s with heavily streamed hits like &#8220;My Favourite Clothes&#8221; and &#8220;Meet Me in Amsterdam.&#8221; The Filipino-born singer/songwriter began his career in Melbourne, then later moved to Los Angeles after his career began to take off. He made his full-length debut in 2021 with the Warner-issued Constellations, followed a year later by the Ultraviolet EP.



Rini was born Justerini Sandoval in the late &#8217;90s, and his earliest musical memories came from his parents&#8217; CD collection, which encompassed everything from the R&amp;B of Michael Jackson to the rock of Bon Jovi. His father was often away at sea and collected instruments on his travels, resulting in Sandoval having a guitar of his own on which he learned his first chords. At the age of ten he moved with family to Melbourne and soon become part of a local church community. Bandmates there taught him how to play keyboards, bass, and drums. Before long, Rini was uploading heartfelt covers of R&amp;B chart hits online, and by the age of 17 was writing his own material.



2016 brought &#8220;Wasted,&#8221; a collaboration with Vince Valentino, one of Rini&#8217;s first official releases. By the middle of the following year, he self-released an eponymous debut EP, based on spare beats created by friends. The release drew interest from Warner Music, which licensed many of his subsequent single releases, including the characteristically calm &#8220;Emerald.&#8221; 2018&#8217;s &#8220;For the Last Time&#8221; &#8212; performed with the Korean artist Snaggle Owky &#8212; was one of many singles that he released that year, but it was on October&#8217;s After the Sun EP that Rini more fully developed his sound. Following 2019&#8217;s dreamy, Rhodes-drenched &#8220;Feels Natural,&#8221; with fellow Melburnian Agung Mango, Rini moved to Los Angeles, California, an R&amp;B hub in comparison to southeastern Australia. This coincided with Warner putting their full support behind the promotion of his first full-length project, Constellations, which ultimately arrived in October 2021. The album boasted several popular singles including &#8220;Out of the Blue&#8221; and &#8220;Red Lights,&#8221; which featured a cameo from rapper Wale. 2022 brought the BEAM-assisted &#8220;Trust&#8221; and &#8220;Haunt Me,&#8221; the latter of which later appeared on Rini&#8217;s Ultraviolet EP. ~ James Wilkinson, Rovi

influential bands of the early 21st century. Their direct, hooky sound &#8212; equally inspired by classic tunesmiths like Buddy Holly and the brash attitude of fellow New Yorkers the Velvet Underground and Ramones &#8212; set trends even as it looked back on rock history. With their acclaimed 2001 debut, Is This It, the Strokes reinvigorated a rock scene that had spent years focused on post-grunge and nu-metal. Along with the White Stripes and Yeah Yeah Yeahs, they helped shape the sound and look of alternative rock in the 2000s, with Kings of Leon, the Killers, and the Libertines, Franz Ferdinand, and Arctic Monkeys reflecting their impact in the U.S. and the U.K., respectively. As the decade unfolded, the Strokes embellished on their back-to-basics style, adding new wave and synth pop elements to 2003&#8217;s Room on Fire and 2006&#8217;s ambitious First Impressions of Earth, a trend they continued with later releases like 2013&#8217;s Comedown Machine. Though they spent much of the 2010s working on individual projects, they returned with some of their most passionate-sounding music on 2020&#8217;s The New Abnormal.

As Dermot Kennedy embarks on the next chapter of his musical journey with his new album, Sonder he admits he’s never related to a word more. &nbsp; Sonder, the term coined in the book The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, is summarized as, “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.” Encapsulating the universal themes of love, loss and ultimately hope, Sonder sees the acclaimed, platinum-selling Kennedy evolving into an even more expressive and powerful storyteller.



Dermot explains, “The meaning behind Sonder has resonated with me so much for years. I exist in an industry where we’re encouraged to think about ourselves only constantly, and I find that exhausting and uninspiring. I want to learn about you. Let us share all of our triumphs, all of our troubles. Let this music belong to all of us, to find our own stories and our own solace within it,” he says.



The idea of sharing the ups and downs of life’s journey with his audience is not a new one.&nbsp; Over the years, Dermot Kennedy has won over fan after fan with his passionate and burning lyrics that speak truth and honesty, delivering compelling music from the heart that connects with people across the globe. Sonder further demonstrates his ability to tap into the emotions of listeners, with poignant music intended to heal as the world rebounds from the challenges of the pandemic.



His own personal growth as an artist is noteworthy.&nbsp; He’s gone from busking in the streets to selling out stadiums around the world — a tremendous and traditional rise in music with his golden vocals and piercing lyrical content at the center of his success. Authenticity oozes out of him, onstage and in his songs, and his wide range of influences, from singer-songwriters to hip-hop, gives him a unique sound that is raw and genuine.



And though he’s playing for more and more fans each day, he’s still keeping the mindset he maintained while busking to give the best live performances ever. “I&#8217;m very glad I&#8217;m not busking anymore, but I also want to make sure I never lose that hunger and give an authentic performance every time,” he says.



“I&#8217;ve had people ask me if my songs are about mental health and well, yeah. Isn&#8217;t every single song I write about that in a way? Because it&#8217;s all connected.”

By bringing style, fun, and catchy songwriting back to rock music, the Strokes became one of the most influential bands of the early 21st century. Their direct, hooky sound &#8212; equally inspired by classic tunesmiths like Buddy Holly and the brash attitude of fellow New Yorkers the Velvet Underground and Ramones &#8212; set 



After four studio albums, there’s not much territory The 1975 hasn’t covered at this point. Throughout their tenure as a band, the English rockers have flirted with glossy pop, anarchist punk, gritty garage rock, electro-funk and country. They’ve used their incisive songwriting to ask existential questions surrounding self-discovery, nihilism, climate change, mental health, addiction, postmodernism and cybersex. So what’s a band to do when they’ve seemingly done it all? After 20 years together, The 1975 decided it was time for a return to form—a way to celebrate their beginnings and showcase their growth. The result is their fifth effort Being Funny in a Foreign Language—perhaps the band’s most intimate sounding record yet.&nbsp;



Recorded between England’s Real World Studios and New York’s famed Electric Lady Studios, Being Funny was the first time The 1975 had sat in a room and played as a band. And this time around, they set some ground rules: They wanted everything to sound as organic as possible, opting for more strings and fewer synths. “We started taking songs that existed or just were a bit confused in their identity and doing an impression of The 1975. But this time, it was live.” They also decided to enlist an outside producer: Jack Antonoff. “I would have never thought that another producer would have come in, especially not a producer that was ‘hot and happening.’ All the people that I&#8217;ve worked with, I&#8217;ve worked with my whole life.” But their mutual admiration for one another helped propel the project forward. “Jack is just really good at getting the best out of artists, so I really liked working with him.”



Like all of The 1975’s work, Being Funny sees Healy striving to improve and trying to figure out how to tangibly do so. And it all comes back to the album’s title. “When I&#8217;ve seen people being funny in a foreign language, it&#8217;s the height of intelligence, and, therefore, the height of empathy. I think that if everybody was able to be funny in a foreign language, it would probably save the world.”

The Kid LAROI &#8211; the newly eighteen year old rapper/singer born Charlton Howard is proving that for an incoming generation filled with promising talent, yesterday’s borders aren’t today’s barriers. Born and raised in Sydney (aside from a short stint in the countryside) to a mother of Aboriginal descent and a French father, LAROI was raised by his mother and his uncle in a gritty environment. When they weren’t at The Fact Tree, a local youth center where they played video games and pool, LAROI and his friends were on the streets. LAROI grew up consuming one of America’s most adored exports, listening to hip-hop and R&amp;B icons like Tupac, Erykah Badu, The Fugees, Lil Wayne and Kanye West. He’s wanted to make music since he can remember, hoping to claim a spot in music royalty.



In 2016, after competing in a Triple J competition, LAROI earned the respect of a few industry execs whose support led him to performances on stages alongside the late JuiceWRLD, whom he considered a close friend and mentor. “It’s really what I’ve always imagined&#8230; I always knew it was bigger than that,” LAROI says about his crossover success and finding an audience outside of Australia. “I love everything I make. I take music super seriously, and I look at it as art,” says the teenage phenomenon. With an undeniable belief in his potential and the fast-paced track record to prove it, LAROI, unexpected as his story is, is making it increasingly easy for the rest of the world to believe in him too.

It was almost two years since the Scottish singer-songwriter had released his debut, an album whose blockbuster success had kept him on the road, round the world, constantly in that time. Divinely Uninspired to a Hellish Extent was a set of self-written songs that, out of nowhere – well, out of fiercely passionate word-of-mouth enthusiasm, viral streaming and wall-to-wall airplay – captivated the planet.



Breakthrough single Someone You Loved was 2019’s sound of spring (and summer, and autumn, and winter), a seven-week Number One and the biggest selling single in the UK that year. The following year it won Song of the Year at the Brit Awards (while Capaldi won Best New Artist), by which time it had also reached the top of the Billboard charts in the US, and been nominated for a Grammy.



And now? It’s the longest-running UK Top 10 single by a British artist ever – and, with 2.3 billion plays, it’s the fifth-most streamed song on Spotify of all time.



With that tailwind, little wonder, perhaps, that even before he’d released Divinely Inspired…, Capaldi was a record-breaker: he was the first artist to sell-out an arena tour prior to putting out his debut album. He sold all 100,000 tickets in 10 minutes, long before the album was the fastest – and biggest – selling of 2019, and was lodged at the top of the charts for 10 weeks. It would also go on to be the biggest selling album of 2020.



Say it again: Lewis Capaldi is, finally, back writing and singing the songs that speak from his heart. For all the craziness and intensity of the three years prior to that cut-short arena tour, after two years&#8217; enforced isolation, he’s bursting to share his music, his feelings, once again. If his first album made him an international star, with his second it’s nothing less than superstardom that beckons. And now, having put in the hard yards with the writing and recording, he’s ready to put in the miles all round the world.

Anyone can be an artist, but very few can be remarkable. For Giveon —a rising music artist who has a brilliant gift of capturing moods into songs like no other— his biggest fear is being like everyone else. Though he shouldn’t be concerned. From his captivating baritone voice to his pensive lyrics and colorful soundscape, Giveon defies not only musical standards, but expectations on how he should be as an artist and a man, as well. “I want them to take away originality and I want to them say ‘ok, this is something different, this is not like what we know,’” he said.



Though he always had an affinity for music, Giveon said he fell in love with the art of songwriting before he did with singing. As a child, he would write short stories, just to write, and as he got older, he switched over to poems, because he didn’t think anyone would want to read a long story. Eventually that led to rap, but everyone was doing that and Giveon wasn’t like the rest. It wasn’t until he discovered that his baritone voice wasn’t as awkward or ugly as he thought —because after all Frank Sinatra was one— that everything came together for him.
