Ignacio Peña Drops a Celestial Party Track ‘To The Stars’
Some artists make songs, Ignacio Peña makes universes. With his latest release To The Stars, the Emmy-winning singer-songwriter reminds us why he’s long been celebrated as both a musician and storyteller. The track feels like a dazzling meeting point of science, art, and dance culture, where big ideas orbit around irresistible grooves.
At first listen, To The Stars pulls you in with its glistening synths and magnetic beat, tailor-made for shuffle dancing. But stay awhile, and its deeper layers begin to shine. The horns, arranged by Joe Keys, punch through the mix like radiant beams, while the Epoch House Choir’s vocals add a soulful global resonance that roots the track in humanity. It’s as much about movement as it is about meaning.
What sets Peña apart is his ability to bridge worlds: the rational wonder of Carl Sagan with the kinetic power of dance music, the timeless warmth of live instrumentation with the precision of electronic production. His lyrics nod to Sagan’s reminder that we’re all passengers on the same tiny world, yet he reframes the sentiment with euphoria rather than melancholy.
Visually, the single comes alive through its video concept: an alien civilization stumbles upon the Golden Record—NASA’s 1977 message-in-a-bottle to the universe—and responds not with fear or analysis, but with celebration. It’s a metaphor for music itself, a force that transcends language and distance to create connection.
To The Stars is more than just a track, it’s a manifesto for curiosity and joy. Ignacio Peña isn’t content with catchy hooks; he’s crafting soundtracks for wonder, encouraging us to dance, dream, and look upward.
London-born, South Africa-based folk artist Seth Tabatznik unveils his latest single, “Shining For Love”, a luminous and heartfelt composition that celebrates life, love and the natural world.
Built around layers of atmospheric acoustic guitars, devotional strings, soft shakers, and Seth’s evocative vocal delivery, “Shining For Love” captures a sense of reverence that feels timeless. Each element moves with intention, allowing the song to bloom from a whisper into a radiant, full-bodied expression of gratitude and connection.
“This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me”, Seth shares. “It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple four-chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration of life, love, and nature. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.”
Now based in the Western Cape mountains of South Africa, Seth’s music is steeped in a deep respect for the land and the lessons it offers. His work bridges folk traditions, medicine music, and contemporary songwriting, echoing influences from Bon Iver, Noah Kahan, and Nick Mulvey, who also mentored Seth during the development of his forthcoming album.
With “Shining For Love,” Seth Tabatznik continues to carve his own path; one defined by warmth, sincerity and an unwavering devotion to the beauty of being alive.
