    LIVE Call In: Rinchere

    LIVE Call In: Rinchere

    Rinchere (formally known as Spectacula) is an up-and-coming rapper based in Queens, New York. Not too long ago, he released a dope hip-hop tune, entitled, “The World Watching,” featuring revolutionary Queens rapper, Var Brown. The accompanying music video, directed by Brown, shines a much-needed light on how much things have changed.

    Rinchere explained 🗣: “In a way, this project was inspired by the documentary, The Social Dilemma. The internet is a powerful tool that has innovated the world in many positive ways, but at the same time, it has done irreversible damage to humanity. This project is a retrospect on that.”

    ‘The World Watching’ finds Rinchere and Var Brown rapping about pivotal issues plaguing inner-city communities. The likable tune contains a relatable narrative, thought-provoking lyrics, and an infectious, ‘90s-inspired hip-hop instrumentation. Also, “The World Watching” serves as a tasty appetizer to what listeners can expect to hear on Richere’s upcoming album, entitled, Retrospect. The project is set to be released on April 22, 2022. Furthermore, the song is a 2022 revision of Jay-Z’s “Streets is Watching” single.

    “If I did not have music as an outlet, I probably would have been very emotionally distressed. I don’t think I reinvented the wheel or anything. I just feel like if more rappers spent time perfecting their craft, hip-hop would be much better.” – Rinchere stated
    Rinchere is one of the most notable additions to New York’s up-and-coming roster. Born to Haitian parents, he grew up in Queens, where music quickly became the sensation of his childhood. Soon, he was introduced to R&B and Kompa. Later, he fell in love with the beat and the rhythm along with the music’s ability to grab the attention of anyone who chooses to listen for 3-5 minutes. Be it meaningful, emotional, or just plain stupid. Currently, Rinchere is focused on his musical development, the creative process, and releasing new hip-hop music.

    LIVE call in: Chloe Morgan

    LIVE call in: Chloe Morgan

    Chloé Morgan is a Vancouver, Canada-based singer-songwriter and an award-winning DJ from London, England. Not too long ago, she released a lyric video for her inspiring pop tune, entitled, “Taking Me There.”

    The song represents the beautiful transition from darkness to light with love to lead the way. The endearing tune contains a relatable narrative, ear-pleasing vocals, and a beautiful leading melody on acoustic guitar. The soft-soul anthem possesses subtle synths, percussion, strings, guitar, and drum-laden instrumentation flavored with an enchanting pop vibration. Furthermore, “Taking Me There” is the first release of 2022 for Chloé Morgan, but she is already sowing the seeds for an album release sometime in 2022. The song is also a counter to “Stars,” her critically acclaimed single, which earned #27 on the Shazam US charts.

    Chloé Morgan explained 🗣: “When I write, I always like to write from a higher perspective. I tune into the heavenly realms and ask the music and lyrics to flow. I feel that fans will see the growth from my last release, ‘Stars,’ and this new single will give them a sense of inspiration with elements of love that heal the soul. Expect more music. My evolution as an artist has transcended into a higher dimension. More love, positivity, and all-around musical growth.”

    Chloé Morgan is an entertainer to the core: singing, acting, dancing, and playing musical instruments from five years of age. As a youth, she was awarded a scholarship to the acclaimed London Studios Centre performing arts college, which cultivated and sculpted her passion – giving her talent a strong foundation. Through her ambition and drive and insatiable desire to share her gift with the world came many opportunities. One of which was the hit British reality show, Popstars: The Rivals.

    From her experience and exposure on the show, the contacts she made led to her signing a major record deal as part of the girl group, Clea, with industry powerhouse, Warner Brothers, in 2002. The group toured the UK as a supporting act to Daniel Beddingfield and the boy band, Blue, and performed on many radio and television programs. During that time, Chloé shared the stage with artists such as Beyoncé, Britney Spears, Girls Aloud, and Kelly Clarkson to name a few.

    Chloé acquired the skills she needed to take her to the next level and decided to pursue a solo career. After expanding her skills in the UK as a DJ, she worked the club circuits in Essex and London, as part of the DJ team’s world-famous, Hillsong London. Then, she moved to Vancouver, Canada, where her career advanced and she became a high-profile DJ and singer in the city. In 2017, she won a Golden Owl Award for Breakout DJ of The Year.

    LIVE Call In: Nové

    LIVE Call In: Nové

    Nové is an up-and-coming singer-songwriter based in Nashville, TN. Not too long ago, she released a lovely debut single, entitled, “Claustrophobic,” which tells an intriguing tale about a vulnerable young woman who experiences internal battles with her insecurities. Apparently, she created a huge prison inside of her mind, where she feels trapped and defeated. As the oxygen is slowly fading away, she pleads for anyone to break into her mind to save her from herself.

    Nové explained 🗣: “‘Claustrophobic’ is a real and raw song about my own inner struggles. It’s my sincere hope that my song resonates with listeners in a way that can be of comfort to them in knowing they are not alone. So often as humans we get ourselves stuck in our minds with thoughts of anxiety, insecurities, and self-doubt. Sometimes, it can be so overwhelming, you trap yourself in your own self-made hell. ‘Claustrophobic’ is also about getting stuck in a reality I’ve created for myself, and I need someone to help me get out of it. It touches base with the reality of the human experience, knowing that we all do it to ourselves in some shape or form – whether on occasion or on a daily basis. It’s okay to acknowledge these inner struggles and support each other through them. And I hope my song brings that to the forefront of people’s minds.”

    Music has always been a part of Nové’s identity. From a young age, her mind was filled with melodies, lyrics, and dreams of the future she imagined for herself. For most people, these thoughts would merely pass along only to be forgotten in a few moments. However, she did not let her ideas slip away. Her pen was quick to hit the paper. Her fingers followed suit – strumming melodies. And her voice flowed with the emotionally, impactful lyrics that reflected her struggles, triumphs, and perspectives.

    Nové’s songs are packed full of meaningful stories that weave into the fabric of life that is typically hidden away. While her journey has not always been easy, Nové is truly grateful for the highs and lows along the way. Her testimony has helped her write meaningful and relatable songs that do not follow an equation. Over the past few years, her time has been dedicated to developing a series of songs that will open people to the mysterious, thoughtful world of Nové. The young songstress can’t wait to share her songs with the world, with the sincere hope that they bring joy to viewers of all ages and backgrounds.

The song was co-written by Autumn Knight, Curt Hovland, Knox Morris, and Austin Shawn; and produced by Austin Shawn.

    ‘Another Day’ is a post-pandemic song full of adventure and courage.

Autumn Knight sings from experience, “Wanna be a little different ‘cause I feel like there’s something missing right now. Don’t need permission to chase after a vision, I’m kinda on a mission right now.”
