Three months ago we were hugging our family, kissing our friends, declaring good intentions and making plans for the future. Kissing may be contagious for now, hope always is and always will. Music knows no boundaries nor distance, you can enjoy it from afar as well as up close and personal. Loudspeakers, headphones, boomboxes, smartphones…. all are labeled as safe.
Like we already pointed out last week, many artists postpone their album release date and see their tour canceled or delayed. But some of then are brave enough to present their new efforts, not physically, but through the magic world of streaming.
Stephen Bruner from LA, better known as Thundercat, shared the stage as a bass player with legends such as Snoop Dogg, Erykah Badu, George Clinton and Kendrick Lamar. Once he was a member of The Suicidal Tendencies, today he releases his fourth solo album with a little help from friends like Ty Dolla $ign, Steve Arrington and Childish Gambino. All this, from today on, for you to enjoy via your Tunify player.
EMY is a Belgian promising artist whose new single “Freestyle” reminds us of the aforementioned Erykah Badu. Other Belgian delights, reinforcing your Tunify player this weekend are Netsky, Brutus, High Hi, Absynthe Minded, Blush., DJ Licious, Tout Va Bien, Metejoor, Zwangere Guy, Cleymans & Van Geel, Gene Thomas, The Starlings en Dirk. to name but a few.
Kenny B, Gordon, Trijntie Oosterhuis, Edsilia Rombley, Brainpower, John West, Thomas Berge, Tommie Christiaan, and Jeroen Van Der Boom are just a few of the Dutch talented singers who join forces on the charity song “Zon” (Dutch for, as you might have guessed, “Sun”). You find their effort in your Tunify Player thanks to the “common denominator” #zingcoronadewerelduit.
Other trustworthy new songs released this weekend come from the likes of Troye Sivan, Alan Walker & Ruben, M. Ward, Purity Ring, Drake, Eric Saade, Everything Is Recorded, All Time Low, Testament, Sam Hunt, August Burns Red and Mystery Jets.
As author Charles Dickens once wrote, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times”. Today we encourage you not only to clap along to your favorite songs. Instead of clapping your hands during a concert of your idol, clap your hands for the idols and heroes of today and, quite frankly, every day. Praise those helping hands of people working in logistics providing you food and medicines, saving lives in hospitals, comforting people in health care and at home. And remember, not only a DJ saves your life, but good music surely makes a trying time bearable.
