Playlist: summer air.

      Summer, oh Summer, why are you so pretty and wild...?
                                     Because there is a magic in summer air!

     Be honest, there's still July, there's still summer, so why we can't be happy all the time, enjoy every minute of every day and night? When if not now? In the wintertime? Please... We need more magic!
     That's why I created a new playlist full of nice, easy and summer sounds. I think this playlist will be perfect for a long summer nights or lazy afternoons in the sun. Or better - for a rainy summer days when you are longing for the sun. I chose some slow and also some dance tracks so I think you will be able to find there something perfect for you.

So have fun, be wild, enjoy every moment. Sing. Dance. Have an adventures.

Be yourself. Be FREE.

Artist of the day: Anthony Russo.

Ladies and Gents,
today I would like to recommend you the music of this young and talented guy - Anthony Russo. If you didn't hear about him yet, shame on you! I'm sure you will become a fan of his music, there is no other way. Why? Because his music is simply epic. The same I can say about him.
Are you ready to meet him and his music?

Anthony Russo is a singer, songwriter and musician from St. Louis [USA]. His music is a great mix of pop, hip hop and R&B. He has two EPs: 5 Course Meal and Undivided.
You can find more info about him on his official page, official FB, Twitter, Instagram, the artist union, iTunes, SoundCloud.

        Why I chose Anthony Russo as today's artist of the day?

     That's the most important question, as always of course. I think that the first and the most perfect answer will be: because! Because of his music. Because of his voice. Because there's something in his music that you want to listen to it all the time. Because every song is a great piece of perfect music. Because his music is something new, something fresh, even epic. Because of his huge talent [I think this "because" should be the first reason ]. Because he is so damn good in everything what he is doing. Because of all that I think that's the reason why he deserve to be our "Artist of the day". That's a fact.
    As you all know, it's always great to hear something new and something with soul and heart. I love to write about little-known artists and music who made something valuable, not another "radio empty song". And that's why I'm writing all these words, because I want to recommend you another excellent little-known [yet] artist and I'm sure you will like Anthony Russo and his music.
   Great beats, awesome lyrics, perfect performing. His songs have it all. His music has and soul and heart and all these emotions you want to feel. They are just amazing and hypnotizing. Maybe this is the reason of this perfection. Who knows...
When you are listening to his music there's something what gives you a piece of something good and real and you are able to feel the music - every second of the song, every word. And you know what? That's really great. Because whats more better or more beautiful than pure joy from the music you are listening? Nothing. Really nothing.
     Pure perfection? Probably yes. But please, don't be surprised - his music sounds really remarkable. And I think that when you will listen to these songs you will exactly know how to describe him and his music. And that's why I'm pretty sure you will fall in some-kind-of-love with his songs and you will find your own world in his music. In my opinion that's really cool.

     To be honest I can't wait for more music by Anthony. I'm sure it will be something so good like previous songs and I'm sure he will surprise not only me, but the whole World with his next songs and huge talent. And of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for Anthony and his future.
Quick note: If you didn't know his earlier - better remember the name: Anthony Russo. If you knew Anthony earlier - high five! - you're awesome!

    And remember, if you like these songs, show him some love and share his music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about these awesome songs and of course about Anthony Russo.

Now it's your turn. Go and listen to his great music...

Artist of the day: Hollie Stephenson.

Hollie Stephenson - young, beautiful and very talented woman with remarkable voice. Yes, this is Ms Stephenson, and that's why today I want to recommend you the music by her. I'm pretty sure that you will fall in love with her voice and of course with her music.
Ladies and Gents, Ms Hollie Stephenson.

Hollie Stephenson is a singer, songwriter from London. Her music is a mix of soul, rhythm and blues and jazz.
She has one album: Hollie Stephenson [2016].

You can find more info about here on her official page, official FB, Twitter, YouTube, SoundCloud , iTunes, Instagram and pledge.

     First of all, I have to ask you one thing - who heard this name or any song by her, or better, who knows Hollie Stephenson?

I'm pretty sure, that maybe there will be a few people who can say "I did", "I know", "I heard something by Hollie". And these people should be happy, because they had a chance to feel something really amazing. But from the other side that's not so good because she is just like her music - incredibly perfect and she should be more famous.
    First time I heard about her a few weeks ago and...I just fell in love with her and her voice. And since then, every time when I listened something new [or something older] I knew one thing - she is an amazing singer.
    Believe me or not, but I can say only one thing: I haven't heard such a wonderful voice like her yet! Sure, there were such Legends like Amy Winehouse or Billy Holliday, but nowadays Hollie is like a miracle. Trust me. In every song you can see from the first seconds how talented she is. And that's really wonderful.
    Probably you are thinking now "yeah sure, but she just another singer, so why she's so special?". Everything! Maybe you're right, maybe for some people she's just another singer with a nice voice. But not for me. Why? Because of a few reasons:
   The first: her voice - it's just extraordinary! In every song you can hear, or better - feel, real emotions, what's really great.
   The second: everything what she's doing in just perfect in every part.
   The third: is obvious, Hollie is just a gorgeous woman.
   The fourth: her perfect and unique music.
              Simple - she's unique.
                  Her music is like Heaven.

    She has something wonderful - some kind of magic - what makes that she is so perfect. And also huge talent. In my opinion that's the best.

   I think that the fact that Hollie isn't well-known in many places yet, will change soon, very soon. I hope so. No, I really believe in it and I wish her it.
    To be honest, I can't wait for more music by Ms Hollie. I'm sure it will be something so good like previous songs and I'm sure she'll surprise not only me, but the whole World with amazing music, that voice and talent. And of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for her future and I wish her all the best and many many successes.

Don't worry, I won't write more about Ms Hollie Stephenson, because now it's your turn. You have to listen to her voice, her music, feel that magic about what I'm talking here. So go and listen to all these amazing songs and say, is it for you or not.
I am sure you will find your own world between her music.

Remember, if you like these songs, show her some love and share her music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about these awesome songs and of course about Hollie Stephenson.

Artist of the day : Lukas Graham.

Ladies and Gents, today I would like to recommend you the music of this awesome band - Lukas Graham. If you still didn't hear about them, I'm sure you will become a fan of their music because their music is just epic. Are you ready?

Lukas Graham is a Danish pop rock-soul band from Copenhagen [Denmark] formed in late 2011 and consisting of Lukas Graham Forchhammer [vocals], Mark Falgren [drums], Magnus Larsson [bass] and Kasper Daugaard [keyboard].
Their debut album "Lukas Graham" was released on 2012, and the second album, "Lukas Graham (Blue Album)", was released on 2015.

You can find more info about the band on their official page, official FB, Twitter, Instagram, iTunes, SoundCloud, YouTube.

    For the first time I heard about them in 2014 and I was like "holy shit, that's awesome!". I always have a huge problem to find the best words to say all these reasons why I chose somebody or some music and, to be honest, this time is the same even after such a long time since when I got to know them.
    Their music is just epic, if I can say like that. You can hear and feel that great mix of pop, rock and soul, feel all these great rhythms in every song played by them and that's the best.
   Probably you are thinking now "ok, ok so what... this is just the next alternative pop-rock band, and what is new this time?". Trust me, everything. They are not like the others, they are better. They have own style and vision of their music and it's really real and great. And they are so damn good.
     They have something what makes them so perfect - huge talent and great music - and you can see it in every song by them, no matter is it an album version or live version. I could write here all words, compliments, good and bad reasons why you should listen to them, but I'm pretty sure it would be too little.
      Sometimes you have such a feeling that the music sounds the same. But not this time. This time you have a chance to get to know something really good because every of their song is unique with excellent lyrics and perfect sounds, something so damn good from beginning to end and with every next song you want more and more. Believe me or not, but there's something in their music what gives you a piece of good and real music, music full of emotions, words, full of great vibrations. With soul. And that's everything what you need if you want to feel freedom and happiness. You know, it's something in their music, some magnetism, that you want to listen to it all the time and that's just amazing, in my opinion.
     Songs on their albums are unique, with excellent lyrics and perfect sounds. Also I think that there's something between vocals, lyrics, music and the band who made it and when you're listen to any song by them, you have something like 'wow!' and 'I feel it!' in your mind.
   I'm sure that everyone will find something good in their music because all of their songs are a great piece of good music full of great beats. Also I'm sure that if you like this kind of music, you will find your own world in their songs - simple, isn't it? I can say one thing - they're so damn good!, and you will say the same after listening to any of their song.

      As for me, their music is something really awesome, fresh and unique, something what you can listen all day long because it gives you pure energy, happiness.
     Now, I'm waiting for more music by Lukas Graham, because as for me they're just excellent. Also I wish all the best to them and of course I'm keeping my fingers crossed for their future, because they are very talented and I know that they will surprise us yet. So if you didn't know them earlier - better remember the name of this band. If you knew them earlier - high five! - you're awesome!

      Now it's your turn. I think you should check it to judge, is it for you or not, but I'm sure that if you love, or only like, such mix of music - there is no other way, you will like Lukas Graham.

     And remember, if you like any of these songs [or maybe even all of them], show them some love and share their music with your friends and/or with other people. Tell the World about this great music and about Lukas Graham.

Hurts in Poznań.

         Ladies and Getns, the one and only, Hurts came back to Poland with the first show during their new tour - The Surrender Tour.
    Who from you were at previous concerts in previous years? So you know about what I am talking here now. And who from you were yet or will be at any of their concert during this tour? High five! It's really worthwhile to be there. And I'm sure you would say the same about it.

     Ok, let back to the show from Poznań.
   The same place, the same band, the same energy, the same great atmosphere as in 2011. Could it be better? I don't think so.
    I won't talk about the support before Hurts because as for me it was just a different fairy tale. In my opinion that project, who name I even don't remember, was a huge mistake. Many of people who were there with me said the same: WTF?!.

    The show started around 8:50PM and ended around 10:20PM, so we could be a part of their world during 1.5h. Is it enough long or too short? I don't know because every single person has own opinion about this thing. As for me it was a bit too short.
    During the show they played songs from all three albums: "Happiness", "Exile" and of course "Surrender". I'm pretty sure that every person who came to their show found something good. Hurts gave their fans 19 songs [8 from "Happiness", 3 from "Exile" and 8 from "Surrender"] and in my opinion that fact is really great.
   To be honest this concert was just epic, full of great sounds, and that special magic. And you know what, that's just amazing.

    I think that all musicians from the band were surprised energy of the crowd and surprises made by their fans, as f.e. papers with words "HURTS ARE OUR WINGS" during "Wings" and glow stick during "Lights". It was something huge.

You can read and see all these pics and video from the show, but trust me, you can't even imagine all that feelings and things if you weren't at any of these shows, if you weren't a part of their concert.

    Of course as always I have a few photos and video for you. Hope it will show you a small piece of those amazing moments.

    I can say one thing: if you missed this show [or any show during this tour] - regret. Regret as hell!
