The lyric ‘Now You Fly’ relates to the acceptance of the grief and being able to find peace knowing that the suffering is now over.The song will be released on the birthday of Carly’s friend, who passed away.January can be a month of real struggles and mental health dips, and Carly hopes her single will bring strength in this difficult month to those who may need it. She says, “I have been developing this song for a year and a half, and the whole process has been like therapy to me. Through some insanely intense lows, my music has allowed me to release my grief and find strength. The recording studio day was extremely emotional, and I hope my listeners can hear my heart being poured out because that is exactly what I did.”Since starting her career on the stage, Carly has performed in lead roles in London and travelled the world in renowned productions. These include playing the Acid Queen in ‘The Who’s Tommy’, alongside X Factor Rockstar Giovanni Spano, and the role of Linda in the UK Tour of producer Bill Kenwright’s award-winning hit musical ‘Blood Brothers’.Carly also performed in the ITV series ‘Walk the Line’, drawing praise from Gary Barlow for singing her own song in not just her Geordie accent but also using Geordie dialect, something she used again in her summer 2022 hit ‘Sweetheart’.
Ghanaian-born American record producer ArrowSpice makes a grand transition from the production desk to the booth as he officially announces the release of his debut song “Commando” as an artiste. Listen Here.
“Commando” sees the producer cum artiste, experiment on a self-produced alternative African record which started as an intentional piecing of different instruments and psychedelic sounds.
He wows with his well-known production adroitness, and matches it with an even more impressive vocal performance for a debut song.
Created with the notion of pioneering a change in soundscape and heavily influenced by alternative African melodies, “Commando,” is the end-product of ArrowSpice’s long-standing production experience and an almost botched up attempt that turned out to be a vibe.
Casually playing around with words and melodies birthed a record so euphonious that it towers above the song’s strong lyrics. Inspired by an innate desire to assert dominance over a significant other, ArrowSpices uses the song’s title to drum home the message of control and protection for a loved one.
On “Commando,” his free-flowing thoughts come to the foreground, with the entire record mainly freestyled as he attempts to liberate listeners from bottling their true desires and feelings.
This debut record provides an early look into what to expect from ArrowSpice as an artiste.
He’s daring and champions the spirit of freedom both in his production and lyrics, in a bold attempt to take over the music arena.
“Commando” is currently available worldwide on all digital streaming platforms.
