BermudaCal Makes Impressive Return With Phenomenal New Release “GOD”

Published

on

Independent artist BermudaCal is set to captivate audiences with his latest release, “GOD”, a dynamic and euphoric hip-hop track that explores the depths of doubt and introspection. This single serves as a compelling precursor to BermudaCal’s forthcoming album, The Divinity of Doubt, slated for release in the coming months.

BermudaCal, born in Bermuda to Scottish parents, has carved out a distinctive niche in the music industry, blending his background in jazz seamlessly with elements of hip-hop, trap, UK garage and house. Influenced by a diverse array of artists such as Post Malone, Frank Ocean, Mac Miller, Anderson .Paak and jazz legends like Dexter Gordon, Miles Davis and Charlie Parker, BermudaCal’s unique sound is characterised by melodic hooks and standout saxophone solos.

“GOD”, as the lead single from The Divinity of Doubt, showcases BermudaCal’s musical evolution and storytelling prowess. The track delves into themes of existential questioning as BermudaCal engages in a conversation with God, questioning the very fabric of his beliefs and existence. The song oscillates between moments of intensity and introspection, capturing the artist’s internal dialogue and struggles with doubt. The track arrives alongside an equally impressive music video directed by Edd Roberts.

Reflecting on the creation of “GOD”, BermudaCal shares, “This track was the catalyst for my debut album. It explores the theme of doubting the existence of a higher power. I composed the beat about a year and a half ago, and the lyrics flowed effortlessly during a session by the beach. The music video, created with minimal resources and a lot of heart, is a testament to the dedication of my friends who supported the project, understanding the challenges faced by an independent artist.”

As “GOD” makes its mark on the music scene, BermudaCal invites fans to join him on this introspective and soul-searching musical journey. The forthcoming album, The Divinity of Doubt, promises to further showcase the artist’s versatility and unique fusion of genres. “GOD” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms.

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.
