Lisa Ramey Delivers a Pulse-Pounding Track on ‘Vagabond’

Published

on

Vocal powerhouse Lisa Ramey’s music discography is full of gospel, rock, reggae, and R&B-infused productions. Her creative and limitless mentality is reflected in her catalog, as she effortlessly floats between genres with unmatched versatility. She returns with her brand-new single ‘Vagabond’.

‘Vagabond’ echoes a genre-blend of R&B, pop, and soul with a bit of a jungle beat in the production. As the songstress furthermore showcases her effortless talents and personal growth in the music industry, she embraces this release wholeheartedly.

The St Louis-born, New York-based vocalist Lisa Ramey notes that when she and her producer were playing around with the beat of this track, they couldn’t leave it alone. They took said beat and layered it with infectious tones.

Fittingly, what emerges is a pulse-pounding track, which further reinforces the pivotal theme; one-sided relationships.

Speaking on her latest offering, Lisa Ramey said: “I’ve dated guys who seemed to be wandering around aimlessly through a desert without a destination. At least that’s how they treated our relationship. There was no giving on their side but they would have no problem sucking the soul right out of me. They’d suck all my energy out just to head back to the desert to continue wandering from woman to woman without achieving any grounding in a relationship. I call them sexy zombies. If you let them, they’ll suck the joy out of you then move on to their next target without realizing what they’re doing….or do they?”

The multi-talented musician continues to display her remarkable musical skills as ‘Vagabond’ presents the audience with a sound feast. Lisa Ramey continues to push limits while effortlessly engulfing listeners in a flurry of full-bodied, rich tones – a result that will appeal to any experienced music lover. The old soul has one foot in past music traditions and another boldly pushing into the future.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Published

Aaron makes music about meaningful topics that rocks and grooves – and sometimes it even skanks on a rock steady beat!

His new song ‘Geeks’ has been released on all major music platforms on November 15th. It is an anthem for the heroes of the digital age: computer nerds, also known as geeks. It is driven by an off-beat ska guitar, a sticky bass line and a groovy brass section. The icing on the cake is a jazzy saxophone solo.

“I have always loved Ska, I even saw the Specials, the Selecter and Madness live in their heydays”, says Aaron. “I chose the topic although I am not a geek myself, but I have a lot of sympathy for them. Geeks are often frowned upon because they can be socially awkward, but they are the ones who are building a better world. So I think they deserve an anthem.”

The music video is mostly made up of typography, minimalistic ASCII graphics and heavily pixelated images – it surely looks geeky! Watch it here:

“I just want to entertain people and make them a bit happier.”– Aaron King.

Aaron writes catchy songs that are made for people who like meaningful, uplifting topics and guitar-driven, hand-made sounds. His musical journey started young but it wasn’t until he discovered Bitcoin and became so invested in it that he used music to express his new found joy.

“It’s mostly rock music, with excursions into funk, soul and other styles I grew up with. In general, it’s guitar-driven and hand-made, often with a punkish energy and beatlesque harmonies. What all my songs have in common are meaningful lyrics about being in the here and now, about transforming disturbing emotions into wisdom, about being in the flow, things like that.” says Aaron in an interview.

“I have always been making music and writing songs, starting with a punk rock band when I was 15. However, I never saw it as a career. I played in several bands in my teenage years and my early twenties, but after my media studies in Berlin and Rio de Janeiro I focused on other things. I first worked in TV production and then founded one of the first Internet agencies in Germany. I discovered Bitcoin in 2011 and became fascinated by it. I wrote five books about it, made lots of promotional videos and educational series for Bitcoin and blockchain companies, and organised events. I even wrote some songs about Bitcoin, which became quite popular in the community, like my Reggaeton about the Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador. People always liked that my songs are catchy and provocative. It was by the end of 2023 that I decided to go full in on music. It’s what I enjoy the most, so now I want to fully follow my passion.”

Since May 2024, his songs have been streamed more than 250,000 times on Spotify and his music videos have been viewed more than 350,000 times on YouTube.
