Producer Jay’s Soulfood Unveils Phenomenal New Track “Taste The Sun & The Sky”

Jay’s Soulfood (AKA Funktional J) is a hip-hop/electronic producer based in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, with Surinam roots (South America). He has been building a name for himself on the music scene for several years now with his funk and soul-inspired beats and is ready to continue his rise with the release of his new single, “Taste The Sun & The Sky”.
The track sounds like a hit and showcases Jay’s advanced production skills and shows that the rising producer is surely one to watch out for. With its smooth and vibey groove and recurring lyrics about tasting the sun and the sky, it’s a perfect track for a chilled summer’s day and will no doubt be a go-to track for his growing fanbase over the next few months.
Speaking further on the new release, Jay says, “It all started with making the beat in my home studio. I was satisfied with the beat but felt it still needed some vocals here and there, so I asked my bro Bryan van Belzen, who is a rapper and a voiceover actor, to lay something down. He came up with this line ‘Taste The Sun & The Sky’. I really liked this combination, so I already knew that this was going to be the main title of the track. It’s a song about taking a break, going outside and enjoying real life.” “Taste The Sun & The Sky” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/taste_the_sun.

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

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.
