Emerging Artist Cora Onori Continues To Impress On Latest Release “Bloom”

Published

on

Rising artist Cora Onori has revealed her brand-new single, “Bloom”, which features producer Slowface. Cora has been making a name for herself since arriving on the scene in 2018 with debut single “Dream, Girl”. Two more tracks have followed since, including last year’s “Free Falling”, and it’s become increasingly clear with each single that Cora is one to watch. Now back with “Bloom”, her fourth official single, she looks set to continue her rise.

Produced by Cora and Slowface, “Bloom” builds slowly and morphs into an entrancing electronic explosion that is fused with Cora’s mesmerising vocals. The whole track makes for a fascinating listen and will surely be another success for Cora as she continues to work towards the release of her debut EP. The single is also accompanied by an equally captivating music video directed by Moncef Henaien. Speaking further on the new release, Cora says, “‘Bloom’ is an ode to life and death – the beauty in the two.

“I made the first sketch of the song after finding out my grandmother had cancer. I really needed to vent, and I feel like that day music allowed me to do that. Afterwards, I brought the sketch to Slowface, who is a really good friend of mine, and he understood exactly where I wanted to go with it. He organised the beat and put his magic touch on it, and after that I went in to write the lyrics. I was able to find the words very quickly – I feel like this song was eager to be finished, and it was done in just one session of writing and recording vocals.” “Bloom” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/coraonori1/bloom-feat-slowface.

Feelgood Frequencies: Why CR Srikanth’s “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” Is The Sonic Hug You Didn’t Know You Needed

Published

If you’ve been looking for a track that feels like a warm, nostalgic hug wrapped in shimmering synths, CR Srikanth’s new single “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™” might be exactly what you need. It offers a beautiful balance of emotional depth and danceable energy, pulling you out of your head and into a place where you can just breathe, feel, and move. In a world that often feels overwhelming, this track delivers a sense of calm and release.

Srikanth, a US-based Indian composer and sonic storyteller, has carved out a unique musical space with his self-created genre, VS Pop™ (Very Smooth Pop). Drawing from vintage 1980s synthpop, ambient soundscapes, and cinematic orchestral touches, he’s crafted a style that feels both familiar and forward-thinking. “Dancing in the Dark” continues that evolution. It is at once intimate and expansive, polished yet deeply human.

The track features vocals from Junior Paez, whose delivery adds emotional texture to the lyrics. There’s a quiet honesty in lines like “Don’t you think you’re losing your mind again?” and “Hold on, I’ll take you a little higher tonight.” These words speak to the chaos we often feel inside, but instead of staying stuck there, the song encourages movement, connection, and hope. It is music that acknowledges the darkness but chooses to dance through it anyway.

The production is rich with shimmering arpeggiators, retro synth bass, and crisp electronic drums. It brings together nostalgia and futurism in a way that feels effortless. Imagine flickering neon lights, soft motion blur, and the kind of energy that makes you want to close your eyes and sway. It is cinematic but never overwhelming. Every layer serves the emotion at the heart of the track.

What makes “Dancing in the Dark” so appealing is how well it adapts to your mood. Whether you’re heading out for a solo night drive, setting the vibe for a weekend gathering, or simply lying on your bed in need of a reset, this song fits the moment. It never pushes too hard, but it always lands exactly where it needs to. There is something comforting about how sure of itself it feels.

CR Srikanth is not just making music for the sake of it. He is building emotional landscapes for listeners to get lost in and to find themselves again. With “Dancing in the Dark – VS Pop™,” he offers more than just a catchy tune. He gives us space to reflect, to feel seen, and to find joy in the act of simply moving forward. So press play, turn it up, and let yourself be lifted. This one’s for the heart, the soul, and the feet.
