Send us a textFans of Maggie Rogers, Kacey Musgraves, and Suki Waterhouse will LOVE Pien! Dutch indie-Americana artist PIEN is gearing up for the release of her debut EP “According to Plan”, out May 23rd. Following the releases of some of the singles on the EP, "Not Yet" and "I Know," PIEN continues to explore her distinctive sound, blending catchy moments with relatable, reflective lyricism."I Know," PIEN's second single, is an enchanting track featuring dreamy melodies, driving percussion, and tastefully layered backing vocals. It addresses the internal battle of trusting one's instincts, highlighting PIEN's ability to create songs that resonate emotionally and can be played in any setting. Collaborating once again with long-time producer Hattie Murdoch, “I Know” was destined to be a song that leaves a lasting impression, and given the attention the song has already gained, this impact shows no signs of stopping.Both "I Know" and the earlier track "Not Yet" have received enthusiastic praise, with the latter introducing PIEN's new direction- a blend of indie-Americana and introspective balladry. The full “According to Plan” EP will feature tracks like the title song "According to Plan," "Done," and the reflective "Heet Laatste Hoofdstuk" (The Last Chapter), each showcasing PIEN's evolving musical journey.PIEN describes “According to Plan” as “an EP about finding peace with reality and how unpredictable and unfair life can feel/be sometimes. It's about accepting that dreams and perspectives can change and that's okay. This EP feels extra special to me because I feel this is the first time in my career (so far) that I really showed all of my colours and the truest version of myself. It also showcases the best of my vocal and writing abilities up to date. I can't wait to share this little piece of me with the rest of the world!”With over 22,000 streams on her single "WTF" and growing recognition on platforms like BBC Introducing and Dutch radio stations, PIEN is gaining momentum. Fans of indie-Americana and artists like Maggie Rogers, Kacey Musgraves, and Suki Waterhouse will find PIEN's magical voice and honest storytelling hard to resist.“According to plan is an EP about finding peace with reality and how unpredictable and unfair life can feel/be sometimes.

Brocarde is the creator of an enchanting world where dark, haunting aesthetics meet passion-fuelled lyrics and design. Her latest single "Identity Theft" was produced by Chris Collier (Korn, Mick Mars). Brocarde is a dynamic storyteller who marries both music and fashion in an orchestral explosion, designed to make the ears and eyes bleed. A one-woman horror story, if centuries aligned, Brocarde could almost be the secret lovechild of Edgar Allan Poe and Sylvia Plath. In what could only be described as an effervescent melting pot, Brocarde's bubbling cauldron is peppered with hints of Little House on The Prairie, and seasoned with remnants of the Addams family values: she's an all-consuming artist who's not for the faint-hearted. Brocarde arrived on the music scene in 2019 presenting her debut single Last Supper. With its biblical relatability and an army of sinister pigs, the music video depicted a twisted fairy tale that whetted the appetite of her loyal supporters. She was hailed as "One to Watch" by Planet Rock Magazine, and secured airplay on Kerrang!, Planet Rock and BBC Introducing. www.Instagram.com/brocarde website www.Brocarde.com About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/crazyjames/bthdYoutubeInstagramBioLUTON, UK – June 2025 — British rapper Crazy James returns with his latest sonicfirestorm, “BTHD,” a track that fuses raw emotion, stunning lyrical agility, and head-nodding production into one unforgettable ride. With lush piano flourishes and a beatthat's as fresh as it is infectious, “BTHD” showcases Crazy James at the height of hisartistry—delivering a flow so passionate and magnetic, it's impossible not to feel it.“BTHD” stands for Bone Thugs-N-Harmony Disorder—a title as intriguing as the recorditself. “I've always been a massive fan of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony,” James explains.“They're a big reason I started rapping. This song is really an homage to them and theirmelodic sound.” While the Cleveland legends never had the same breakout fame in theUK as in the States, Crazy James makes it clear that their influence runs deep in hisDNA.From the first piano note to the final verse, “BTHD” radiates energy and intent. Theproduction strikes a balance between classic and current, evoking nostalgia whilesounding distinctly 2025. James' delivery is sharp, emotionally charged, and beautifullydynamic, with verses that dance between reflective storytelling and fast-pacedwordplay. “When I heard the beat,” he recalls, “I had the melody in my head straightaway—singing it in the shower, humming it constantly. Even if it was gibberish, I had toget it down. Then I started shaping it into something real.”Fans of anime will find something extra to love in “BTHD” too, with James sneaking inreferences to Dragon Ball Z—a nod to his love of animation and layered lyricism. “I liketo play with words,” he says. “People always say I'm hard to categorize—but that's thepoint. There's no sound for me. I just create what's true.”The single is part of a larger creative vision that includes his forthcoming LP, featuringprevious releases like “Whip It,” “Levels,” “Killer Instincts,” and “Show Me”—many ofwhich have already caught the attention of BBC Introducing. “Everything on the album isintentional,” James says. “You won't skip a single track.”The new music video reflects that same cinematic ambition. It intertwines visuals forboth “BTHD” and “Killer Instincts,” carrying on a narrative thread started in the “Levels”video. “The goal was to make the visuals feel like a continuous story,” James shares.“There's even a teaser for the next single, ‘Higher Learning in Berlin.' We're planning tofilm in Berlin later this year.”What sets Crazy James apart isn't just his sound—it's the spirit behind it. Drawing on achildhood spent across Ghana, Belgium, Congo, Saudi Arabia, and the UK, Jameschannels a multicultural perspective into music that's rich with soul, struggle, andhonesty. Whether he's reflecting on mental health, fatherhood, or artistic integrity, hedoes so with an unshakable authenticity.“Performing live is hard,” he admits. “I give all my energy. But it's worth it. I rap toexpress what's inside me—and to let people know they're not alone.”Outside the studio and stage, James juggles a full-time job and fatherhood. “It's tough,”he says. “But I want to leave something behind—not just for my kids, but for the world.”With “BTHD,” Crazy James proves he's not just rapping—he's building a legacy.“Thank you for the support,” he says to fans. “Please keep sharing. More amazingmaterial is on the way.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
