View Park Records’ Maur Kii has had a busy 2024. He kicked off the year with an album, BIRTHDAY PACK: WELCOME TO 7. The music sensation is now back to close out the year with a new EP, MAURNB: THE YEAR WAS. The six-track EP is R&B-focused, borrowing from various eras and subgenres of R&B. Maur Kii cleverly and strategically arranged the songs on the EP to tell a story and its parts. The overall story is based off an interaction between Maur Kii and a woman.

The EP opens with the track, “STREETS.” The song is a chill, sleek record that has a modern R&B sound. The song depicts the initial interaction between Maur Kii and the women that is the subject of the EP’s story. Track two, “4 THE WEEKEND,” continues with the vibe of the previous record, but incorporates a more Hip-Hop/Rap sound. The track features renowned music artist Wontel. The song discusses Maur Kii courting the female love interest and his admiration for how hard-working the woman is. The next song, “NAKED,” has a unique arrangement and an eclectic beat yet still brandishes Maur Kii’s captivating R&B sound. The record dives into the internal conflict that the woman is feeling towards her new love interest, Maur Kii, and her current significant other. The end of the record marks the end of her current relationship.

The EP moves onto “DEEPER.” “DEEPER” goes deep into the lovemaking. It is a sensual, sultry record that touches upon the love/lust. The song features rising star Afterdrk (and appropriately so, given the topic of the song and the artist’s name). “OPTIONS,” the penultimate song, is up next. “OPTIONS” is a song that served as a lead single for the EP; however, Maur Kii altered the EP version of the song a bit. “OPTIONS,” on the EP, has an intro. The track has a swaggy vibe yet is a vulnerable piece. The song features budding music artist Randy White. The song is about how Maur Kii has options and him being honest to the woman, letting her know what she’s getting into. The track provides an intricate and intimate discussion about indecision, communication, and other topics that deal with love and relationships. The EP ends with the story’s end. “WHO CRIES IN A MAYBACH?” is a wavy record with dark tones. The romance and honeymoon phase seem to have faded. The song tries to reckon how the fun and extravagance weren’t enough to make the woman happy and the relationship last.

MAURNB: THE YEAR WAS is a terrific body of work from top to bottom – from the storytelling to the vocals to the production. The EP is perfect for all listeners, but especially great for fans of PARTYNEXTDOOR, Travis Scott, and Fridayy. MAURNB: THE YEAR WAS demonstrates why the year was Maur Kii’s.

Australia’s Adelina kicked off the spring with her fierce new track, “Guillotine.” It marked her first solo release of the year. The eclectic single borrows sounds from various genres that blend well and make the record sexy and fun.

Adelina slays in the bad b*tch anthem. The flirtatious song is filled with a lot of pizzazz and is meant to fill listeners with baddie vibes. The title of the song is derived from an interesting source. “I am a huge MMA fan, and I was stuck on the hook that I had been trying to write for months.” Adelina continues, “While watching some old fights, the ‘Guillotine’ concept came to me and that’s how I penned the hook.”

Adelina’s infectious flow and lyrics compliment the up-tempo beat, which was produced by renowned producer and music artist Audur Luthersson. The songstress already has a dozen of records out and many more to come. While waiting for Adelina’s next captivating release, let the gripping “Guillotine” grab ahold of you.

Music artist Ike Rhein makes his 2023 debut in a major way with his new single, “RUSH,” which features Billboard-charting rapper Zoey Dollaz. “RUSH” may be the first single released by Ike Rhein this year, but the Pop singer has been very productive as he has officially completed his highly anticipated debut album, “Memoir,” which is slated to be released in early 2024. “RUSH” serves as a lead single for the Pop crooner’s upcoming album. “RUSH” is just a little taste of what fans can expect from “Memoir.” 

“RUSH” is about introducing a love interest to the fast life. “Being a music artist is a fast-paced ride, and it can give you and those around you a real rush,” Ike Rhein states. The song dives into the feelings of lust, love, and pursuit. The smooth single is a love song in the guise of a laid back record with bravado. 

“RUSH” blends the sleek, tantalizing lyrics with different sounds from various genres, such as Hip-Hop/Rap and R&B/Soul, to make the sonic masterpiece vibey and catchy. Ike Rhein enlisted a dream team for the record. Multi-platinum producer Danny E.B (Dannyebtracks) produced “RUSH” while multi-platinum songwriter Felly The Voice and Zoey Dollaz penned the lyrics.
