Angel District Shares “Carry Me Home”

Published

on

Classically trained and hailing from the magical city of Las Vegas, Angel District effortlessly melds beautiful, soul-captivating melodies with heart-vibrating beats. His music is an instant plunge into a mind-engulfing and thought-consuming journey, transcending traditional music boundaries and creating a genre-defying sonic experience. It’s a testament to his mastery that he stands as a remix maestro for the likes of Illenium, Seven Lions, Kenya Grace, and JVNA. His new track “Carry Me Home” is written from a mindset of self-discovery and empowerment, the song reflects a personal promise to be there for oneself. Angel District explains, “It’s about promising to yourself that you have your own back – that you’re done selling out and bending to others and you will now and forever be there to grow, support, and care for yourself.” More from Angel District on the track can be found below and be sure to stream “Carry Me Home” under that!

I wrote Carry Me Home from a mindset where, recently in life I’ve gotten to a place where I’ve learned how to better be there for myself.  Carry Me Home is really about promising to yourself, that you have your own back – that you’re done selling out and bending to others and you will now and forever be there to grow, support, and care for yourself.  This is, at least, what the song means to me. The song itself is probably the most perfect festival-set closing song I have ever made.  It just has those incredible vocal moments where everyone can just bask in the emotion of the song before the build ups just take you to new heights and energy solidifying the power and joy of having someone on your corner.  I think anyone who listens to it will be able to easily relate to the theme of the song, where some kind-soul in their world took the time to give them a leg up or throw a lifeline that drastically changed their life – whether that kind soul was legitimately another person or just the person themself is entirely up to the listener.” – Angel District

Marz Starlife Makes A Striking First Impression With Healing

Published

Every once in a while, a debut comes along that doesn’t just introduce an artist – it reveals a soul. Marz Starlife’s first EP, Healing, is exactly that. It’s raw, it’s heartfelt, and it doesn’t pretend to have everything figured out. Instead, it leans into the messiness of real life – the mistakes, the heartbreak, the isolation – and tries to make sense of it all through music. Born in Jamaica, raised in the UK, and now back on the island, Marz brings a cross-cultural perspective to his storytelling, but at the heart of Healing is something deeply human: the need to reckon with the past in order to move forward.

Across the project’s standout tracks, Marz doesn’t hold back. In Bad Memories, he opens up about years lost to incarceration, fractured relationships, and the weight of regret. “Spent four birthdays locked up, baby remember me please,” he raps, in a tone that’s both matter-of-fact and aching. The production stays subdued and moody, letting the lyrics breathe. There’s no glorification of the streets here, only reflection. He admits to being young and caught up in the chase for fast money, but he also shows growth, making it clear that he’s not the same person he once was. It’s a track that lingers, not because it tries to be flashy, but because it feels real.

The title track, Healing, is where everything clicks. Marz taps into something almost spiritual as he raps, “I turn pain into power, darkness to light.” The song is layered with poetic lines and subtle emotional shifts, balancing toughness with tenderness. There’s a determination to rise above, even when the scars still sting. He reflects on his upbringing, his time in the streets, and the inner battles he continues to fight. “No shrink can understand how I’m feeling,” he says, and honestly, it’s hard not to believe him. The pain here is too specific, too lived-in. But instead of letting it swallow him, he uses it to fuel something greater.

What’s refreshing about Healing is that it doesn’t try to fit neatly into any one genre or narrative. Marz blends elements of UK hip-hop, Jamaican rhythm, and emotional rap into something that feels uniquely his own. He’s not here to be the loudest or the flashiest; he’s here to be honest. And in a world full of over-produced, over-polished music, that honesty stands out.

With Healing, Marz Starlife has given us more than a debut; he’s given us a mirror into his journey, and maybe even our own. Whether you’ve lived through similar struggles or are just someone who appreciates music with depth and heart, this EP is worth your time. It’s a reminder that healing isn’t linear, but it’s possible, and that sometimes telling your story is the most powerful thing you can do.
