Martin Kuiper

 

 

Martin Kuiper's new single "So You Left Me with a Smile" is a song about what a smile can give you. Kuiper's lyricism is akin to a master storyteller. Get immersed into the story and picture the scenes he is describing. Each line of the song adds something new, from powerful images to deep metaphors that make the listener want to learn more about the story. The melody creates a soothing, powerful and melodic background, and the well-balanced instruments make a full, emotional soundscape.

"So You Left Me with a Smile" is the seventh release from the album "To Feel Is to Believe", and follows the singles "Ordinary Magic", "Mood", "Emotion Dealer", "Always (All The Things I Want)", "You & I" and "Until I Die". Martin Kuiper's debut album "To Feel Is to Believe" will be released this June and contains 10 songs with a semi acoustic pop feel.

Sluka

 

 

"Inspired, emotional, professionally produced, melodic, well aware of and resigned to the harsh realities of life, and yet ultimately... extraordinarily... hopeful." -ILMC  

 

Christopher Sluka first rose to prominence in New York City in the 1980s playing alongside bands like Tears For Fears and Simple Minds. In 1989 he put out his first full length album, the Meldac released Emotional Battlefield. Despite hailing from the United States he saw the most success in Japan and Europe. ​ ...but forget all that... ​ Sluka in its latest existence is reformed, reimagined, and perhaps the most exciting of its life. The latest album, Ready To Connect, is proof of their progressive, diverse, and eclectic style. Often difficult to describe, Sluka's sound aims to reinvent music, and blur the edges of genres. All Access Music warns not to oversimplify Sluka as rock, "the often lush, ethereal sounds are a juxtaposition of elements found in classical, pop, gothic, progressive and alternative rock, which has resulted in a very difficult-to-define genre all its own... 'Enigmatic rock,' perhaps…?" ​ Slate Magazine describes Sluka as "slightly experimental with a heavy dose of the dramatic thrown in. It generally takes more than a quick listen to appreciate, so take a little time when you do." ​ And while their music ignores boundaries, they truly shine live. Shows are energy-filled, mesmerizing moments in time, entrancing the audience through their anthemic songs, theatrics, and huge wall-of-sound bridges. With lights, smoke, effects, and theatre, Sluka aims to bring a stadium size show to any size venue.

The second single from the forthcoming album "Cautionary Yell". The song is a reflection of the polarization in the USA and all over the world. We used to just ignore people who would rant and scream nonsense. But now they can become leaders of their countries. We've seen this repeat on and on and on... throughout history. But hey... let's have fun anyway!
