FODÉ Shares New Single ‘Dead Poets’
The English-American trio FODÉ, which consists of James Clark on drums, Ollie Norris on bass, and Fodé Busia on vocals and guitar, first appeared in the thriving London music scene two years ago. The band used humorous parodies of popular artists’ styles on TikTok to reach viral success with their satirical songs. Taking advantage of this momentum, FODÉ exhibits a sound that defies genres as they skillfully combine their original songs with parodies.
A memorable musical synergy is created by the individual flairs of each member, including Ollie Norris’s rhythmic bass, James Clark’s powerful drumming, and Fodé Busia’s soulful vocals and guitar. As FODÉ keeps lighting up London’s stages, their shows showcase their mastery of music as well as their unmatched ability to engage the audience. As their journey continues, FODÉ will be a force to be reckoned with, redefining innovation in today’s music scene with a unique blend of sarcasm, inventiveness, and musical prowess.
They have just dropped their latest single ‘Dead Poets’, created from the concept of their viral TikTok which was ‘how Frank Ocean sounds to non-fans’ gaining over 4 million views. Due to an output of comments requesting a full version of the song, FODÉ decided to make it their own. The band added more depth flair and energy to the tune. Vocals, electric guitar, bass guitar, drums, piano, acoustic guitar, and Rhodes electric piano are all used to produce the energetic and dynamic rock track. They were able to add their touch to the music after a few hours, and they proceeded to reserve Premises Studios in Hackney for the proper recording. It is now prepared for distribution to the thousands of individuals who requested it.
On the song, FODÉ says, “This song started as a joke but we took it seriously and turned it into art.”
‘Dead Poets’ showcases FODÉ’s musical prowess while highlighting their intriguing songwriting and energetic production capabilities. Their artistry shines through their latest release complimenting their entire music discography to date.
FODÉ are paving their way into the music scene with their promising sound. For more updates on them, please visit their social media and streaming platforms.
What if the world isn’t too loud… what if it’s just your head?
Brno-based duo 2AP – Two Alien Planets tackle that familiar feeling in their new single “Sweet Harmony”: a warm, guitar-driven alternative track about finding your way back to the present when your mind refuses to switch off.
It starts with a bright guitar riff and Lenka K.’s airy soprano, sounding almost like a breath of fresh air. Then the song begins to expand. Guitars gather momentum, the rhythm lifts, and Jarek H.’s warm baritone joins the picture.
By the final chorus, it’s no longer one voice trying to quiet the noise. It’s two voices finding their way through it together.
And that’s where “Sweet Harmony” really hits.
The lyrics balance simple, beautiful things — wind, sunshine, rain, a strand of hair in the breeze — against a much less peaceful inner landscape: a “stormy brain,” angry birds and snakes of grief.
There are no wellness clichés here. No promise that everything suddenly becomes fine.
Instead, the song suggests something more realistic: maybe the beauty is already there. We just have to hear it.
Musically, 2AP blend the melodic warmth of alternative pop-rock with a cinematic indie atmosphere. It’s dreamy without drifting away, emotional without becoming gloomy, and driven by the chemistry between Lenka’s soprano and Jarek’s baritone.
Think 90s/2000s alternative warmth meeting contemporary indie songwriting, with enough guitar to keep things moving and enough space to let the lyrics breathe.
The artwork captures the same tension: warm flowers behind a dark fence. Beauty on one side. Something getting in the way on the other.
“Sweet Harmony” doesn’t ask you to tear the fence down.
It just asks you to look through it.
3:42 of dreamy guitars, two voices, and one very restless brain.
