Published

Rising singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist Marshall Harner has returned with his brand-new single, “Weather”, featuring Ben Tsakopulos. The self-produced track is the first single taken from new album When The Night Was Just The Time When We Could Fall Asleep (out 28th January). Hailing from Gaithersburg, Maryland, Marshall has been steadily building his fanbase with a string of well-received releases over the past two years, such as last year’s Daydream, and “Weather” looks set to continue his momentum and kickstart what promises to be an exciting year for him.

Stirring elements of R&B and hip-hop, Marshall showcases his full range of talents on “Weather”, with the track highlighting the versatility and different textures to his vocals. His polished production skills are also on full display, with the track’s head-nodding hip-hop production sure to be a hit with listeners. Enhanced further by Marshall’s candid songwriting and knack for infectious melodies, “Weather” has endless replay value and all the right ingredients to be another success.

Speaking further on the release, Marshall says, “‘Weather’ is a song about the end of a good thing. I wrote it with Ben Tsakopulos, and the track covers our shared past experiences with losing someone close to us. I created the instrumental for the track during a studio session with Ben, and over the next few weeks, we perfected the harmonies for the chorus, recorded our verses and mixed and mastered the track together.”

A huge talent at the top of his game who can do it all and is involved in all aspects of his artistry from singing, songwriting and producing to mixing and mastering, it’s clear Marshall Harner is a special talent. With no signs of slowing down anytime soon and a busy year ahead with the release of his new album, Marshall will surely be one to watch out for in 2022. “Weather” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://marshallharner.lnk.to/weather.

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.
