Rising Hip-Hop Artist 730RARRI Uncovers Brilliant New Single “Heartbreak & Hermes”

Published

on

Rising rapper 730RARRI has unveiled his brand-new single, “Heartbreak & Hermes”, produced by Just Ideas and St4r, who is also featured on the track. Hailing from Toronto, 730RARRI has been going from strength to strength since bursting on the scene a few years ago with debut single “Slide”, and he doesn’t appear to be slowing down anytime soon – in fact, the opposite.

His most recent release, “Loyalty”, has already racked up almost 100,000 streams on Spotify alone since being released just a few weeks ago, and the independent artist is keeping the momentum going and looks set to reach even greater heights with new single “Heartbreak & Hermes”. The track sounds like another hit, immediately standing out with its bouncy production, infectious hook and 730RARRI’s smooth cadence.

Speaking further on the new release, 730RARRI says, “My inspiration for ‘Heartbreak & Hermes’ was watching someone close to me drift off into someone I never knew. While making the song I wanted to try to connect with the listener so they know what it feels like to be caught in a triangle. The track gives two different perspectives but the same pain and emotions.”

Clearly gifted with a special talent, 730RARRI will be one to watch over the next year as he releases more music and prepares for live shows in Canada, the US and the UK. “Heartbreak & Hermes” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://ffm.to/heartbreakandhermes.

Plain Mister Smith Pieces Together a World of Sound on Bric-À-Brac Attack

Published

on

Plain Mister Smith returns with Bric-À-Brac Attack, a beautifully offbeat collection of indie-folk, pop and atmospheric songwriting. Released via Amelia Records, the album finds the Vancouver and London-based multi-hyphenate turning fragments of memory, relationships and everyday absurdity into something quietly cinematic.

At its centre is “Grindavik”, a shimmering, reflective track inspired by the Icelandic town shaped by recent volcanic activity. Bright acoustic guitars and steady drums carry a constantly shifting chord progression, mirroring the song’s central metaphor of a relationship under pressure and the hope that its fissures can eventually heal. Featuring Jordan Klassen and Kitt, the track captures the emotional tension that runs throughout the album.

Elsewhere, Bric-À-Brac Attack moves effortlessly between playful guitar-driven moments, lush arrangements and more introspective passages. “Miss Sunshine” brings infectious energy, while collaborations with Findlay Brown, Leeroy Stagger, Krystle Dos Santos and Tyson Mostenbocher add colour to an already eclectic record.

Former guitarist of Canadian darkwave band Moev and a cellist with the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra, Plain Mister Smith brings an unusually broad musical perspective to his songwriting. Yet Bric-a-Brac attack never feels overly calculated. Instead, it has the charm of something discovered rather than constructed.

Warm, strange, melodic and emotionally searching, Bric-À-Brac Attack is a record that rewards getting lost in its details. Plain Mister Smith may remain deliberately mysterious, but the music itself speaks with remarkable clarity.
