If you’re not already familiar, Blaiz Fayah emerged as a Dancehall revelation in 2018 with his hit ‘Best Gyal’, taken from the album ‘Level Up’. Between 2020 and 2023, he released the ‘Mad Ting’ series, three albums featuring collaborations with beatmakers like DJ Glad and Mafio House, with whom he has consistently delivered hits. Through this series, Blaiz Fayah showcased his diverse influences, blending elements of Dancehall, Kompa, Moombahton, Reggae, Shatta, and Zouk into his music.
Simultaneously, he has collaborated with Basshall Records, delivering some of the Dutch label biggest hits, including ‘Bad’, ‘Pon Di Ting’, ‘Pilot’, ‘Basshall Session #3’, and more recently, ‘Badman Party’. Alongside Kybba, head of Basshall Records, Blaiz Fayah has become a driving force behind the Shatta wave sweeping the international scene.
‘Shatta Ting’ features collaborations with top-tier Martinican beatmakers such as DJ Glad, Mafio House, Gyzmo, Natoxie, Mikado, Bmad, as well as Kybba, Tribal Kush, and Limitlezz from the Basshall Records roster. Over the years, Blaiz Fayah has built a strong artistic connection with these accomplished producers, whose composition forms the foundation of each of his tracks.
‘Shatta Ting’ also includes two standout collaborations: the “bad queen” Maureen on ‘Money Pull Up’, and the rising star of the new generation of Martinican artists, Le Jèm’ss, on ‘Whole A Dem’. It was actually with a track by Le Jèm’ss that Blaiz Fayah launched his own label, Mad Ting Records, in late 2024.
To accompany the release of ‘Shatta Ting’, Blaiz Fayah will embark on an international tour with his musicians and dancers, performing in France, Europe, Canada, Latin America, and East Africa. The tour will culminate in a special gig at the iconic Olympia Hall in Paris on January 31, 2026, promising a brand-new show, fresh arrangements, and plenty of surprises!

Dysmusia Keeps “In your eyes” Honest, Warm And Straight To The Point
It is easy to see why a songwriter might be drawn to a story like this. Relationships rarely finish as neatly as people would like, and the space between “it is over” and “maybe we should try again” can produce plenty of material. For Dysmusia, that space becomes the setting for latest single “In your eyes”, out now through Now Listen.
The Irish singer-songwriter has a knack for keeping his writing close to everyday life, and this track benefits from that approach. He looks at an old relationship that has already gone through several attempts at making things work, then focuses on what happens when those feelings start creeping back in.
What makes the song appealing is the balance between sincerity and a lighter touch. Dysmusia is clearly invested in the situation, but he does not turn every moment into a grand declaration. There is room for a bit of humour and hesitation along the way, which keeps the song feeling natural.
The arrangement gives the song a pleasing lift. Acoustic guitar sits at the heart of it, with the dropped tuning adding some richness and a second guitar bringing extra colour. The result has folk at its core but carries enough indie-rock influence to give it a little extra punch.
Dysmusia’s Irish background is another part of the picture. Based between Antrim and Dublin and coming from a musical family, he has developed a style that puts storytelling alongside contemporary guitar sounds.
“In your eyes” brings those influences together without making a fuss about them. It is a personable, melodic track about feelings that refuse to follow a neat timetable, delivered with enough warmth to make the story easy to get behind.
