Published

on

Rotterdam musician Shaynah is once again captivating the music scene with her latest single, “Let That Go”, a mesmerising R&B/neo-soul track that features Grammy-nominated artist Tiffany Gouché. This release comes as Shaynah’s upcoming EP, NAKED, nears its highly anticipated debut. The EP marks the third and final chapter of Shaynah’s complete album, Chapter 22, set to be released at the top of next year.

Born into a world of melodies and harmonies, Shaynah’s musical journey was ignited by her accomplished musician parents, who served as her guiding lights. She is not only a talented singer and songwriter but has also delved into music production, creating enchanting melodies for theatrical performances and musicals. Additionally, Shaynah has taken on acting roles in various plays, establishing herself as a pure creative at heart.

Shaynah’s previous release and NAKED’s first single, “Fair Play”, received critical acclaim earlier this year, setting the stage for the release of “Let That Go”. This new track is set to sweep listeners off their feet with its sultry harmonies, groovy beats and a heartfelt message that encourages breaking free from dating norms and embracing love’s unpredictable journey.

With influences harkening back to the golden era of R&B in the ’90s and ’00s, “Let That Go” is an anthem that will resonate with fans of artists such as Brandy, Victoria Monét and India Shawn. The song’s production is a testament to Shaynah’s multifaceted talent, as she skilfully produced the track herself.

In Shaynah’s own words, “‘Let That Go’ is my second self-produced single (of the final EP, NAKED, of my Chapter 22 trilogy) speaking on love, loss and finding my adult self through it all. Joined by Tiffany Gouché, ‘Let That Go’ delves into the interplay between the dream world and reality, our unspoken thoughts versus our spoken words. Tiffany and I navigate the unspoken expectations in dating or meeting new people, embracing the ambiguity as we explore what we truly desire while trying to stay relaxed and going with the flow.” 

With a creative spirit as vast as Shaynah’s, the future of music is certainly bright. “Let That Go” is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene and become a staple for anyone seeking an authentic R&B experience. “Let That Go” is available to buy/stream now on all platforms: https://vokall.lnk.to/letthatgo.

Aaron Koenig Releases Ska Anthem for Geeks

Published

on

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.
