A J Green UK on Crafting "Empty Room": A Song for Everyone's Story Have you ever heard a song that just makes you feel something? That’s what A J Green UK’s new single, ‘Empty Room’, does. Really gets under your skin, you know, it’s one of those tunes.” It was recorded there at M2 Studios in Wolverhampton with Mark Stuart. Man, it’s all about those empty spaces in life, when a relationship ends or you lose somebody close. It’s heavy stuff, but they get you with these soulful melodies and lyrics. By the way, A J Green UK are Wolverhampton based duo. On guitar is It's A J Green and Martin Dolman is on drums. Back in the 80s they used to play in this 80s cover band called "Kick Up The 80s" - very good name, right... Now they’re doing their own thing and ‘Empty Room’ is just a taste of what’s to come on their new album ‘Before The End’. They're like musical chameleons - they've got Peter Gabriel to Pink Floyd to Nile Rogers. You can hear all those influences in this track. I actually spoke to A J Green about the song. We unpacked how they created it, what made it all so emotional, and what is to come next from the album. If you’re into music that really makes you feel something, keep an eye on these guys. Watch Empty Room https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0h_NDbSnwg Follow A J Green UK on Spotify Soundcloud Bandcamp Youtube Instagram Can you share the story or inspiration behind "Empty Room"? What inspired you to write this track? The track was written about the empty room that is left when two couples seperate and have taken all of their belongings out of the room that once would have been their home. It could also be seen as the empty room when someone close passes away who lived on their own and the house has to be cleared out. What emotions or themes do you want listeners to take away from "Empty Room"? At some point in our life we will all experience that empty room. Did the songwriting process for "Empty Room" differ from your previous releases? How was this experience for you? The song writing was done on my keyboard. I either use guitar or keyboard to write with. The Lyrics come later. The title "Empty Room" evokes a lot of imagery. How do you interpret that concept in the context of this song? I tried to get a very spacious sound on everything that felt like the same feeling as standing alone in that empty room with thoughts and memories. https://open.spotify.com/track/5VWxR6Til3NnhPaz8DEkMn?si=dJHn9WCzTiGSvfjREMFsmg   What was the production process like for this single? Were there any unique sounds or techniques you experimented with? I used acoustic guitar for the guitar solo instead of electric guitar. I was going to change it to electric but the acoustic sounded more innocent and a little diffrent from what I normaly do. I also wanted that Prince 80's drum sound with the delay but did this with real drums rather than a drum machine How has your music style evolved since your earlier work? Does "Empty Room" reflect a new direction for you musically? I don't like to be held in any musical boxes but the forthcoming album will be a mix of a progressive rock and A.O.R. Who or what are some of your biggest influences right now, and how do they impact your sound in "Empty Room"? My influences have a wide range from Pink Floyd to Nile Rogers I guess this would fall more in The Pink Floyd influence. Do you have plans to release a music video for "Empty Room"? If so, what can we expect visually from it? Yes the video is out on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0h_NDbSnwg How does this single fit into the larger scope of your upcoming projects or albums? Can we expect more music in the same vein as "Empty Room"? I wrote a song years ago called 'Empty Spaces' the instrumental version got signed to Musicgateway. There is also a track on my forthcoming album called 'See You On The Other side' where both songs are mentioned in the lyrics. bringing the two songs together before the end. 'Before The End' is the title of the forthcoming album.

If you could summarize "Empty Room" in one sentence, what would it be? A reflective song about loss and the emotional weight of solitude, capturing the feeling of missing someone deeply in an empty space. What advice would you give to other artists looking to express deep emotions through their music, as you have with "Empty Room"? Just write from the heartFinally, what’s next for A J Green UK? Where do you see your sound going in the future? One or two more singles then the release of the album called 'Before The End' After this I will see what happens, but am looking to write for T.V or film soundtracks. Many Thanks for the interview

Kenny Loggins’ Yacht Rock Classic “Heart to Heart” Reimagined

This EP is the first release to mark the start of a new adventure, illustrating Rude Jude’s commitment to a smooth and melodic vintage sound. Featuring 3 original songs, a cover and an epilogue, it is deeply inspired by the legends of Yacht Rock, Adult Oriented Rock and a mix of 70s/80s Soft Rock, Jazz and Pop. The contribution of the talented vocalist, songwriter and violin player, Jon GK can’t be understated in creating and interpreting these songs. All the parts are played by musicians and the production is made through as much analog gear from that era as possible. It is not just a tribute but an attempt to carry the torch and bring something new to the current music landscape. A.O.R is very much alive! Rude Jude is amongst a new generation of artists with the passion and dedication to maintaining the quality standard of 70s & 80s music. The meticulous attention to the details of songwriting, production, mixing and presentation are all in the service of connecting with the listener and letting them feel the emotions written in the music. Jude has always been making music and has been fascinated by the golden age of music recording and production. This is one of the reasons he regularly creates music and play live with legendary artist Dabeull. With this project, he brings it all together: his years of studying jazz and his endless pursuit of authentic sounding production. Read the full article

Welcome World To De(A)sOlogy 101

Deasology offers a more in depth esoteric approach to psychology where we get to the root of how certain behaviors, characteristics, internalized to externalized complexes as well as social constructs are created & if we know that how one makes use of their mind aka psychology or ability to direct or indirect how one sees and/or feels towards themselves & others in indirect or direct manners) is how one creates these internal imbalances therefore imbalanced living/being becomes ones reality then our solutions exist in forms of practicing self acceptance thru self accountability, self responsibility & taking ownership of our current standings (how we may be choosing to see and/or feel about ourselves & ability to produce certain qualities of life presently)

Hmm... I might of heard about it through the grape vine but maybe it's just my imagination running away with me. In return an infinitely blank notebook, except when you turn it upside-down, in which case it's full of doodles of frogs.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA | RELEASE ALBUM TEASER VIDEO AND SINGLE 'CABIN PRESSURE DROPS' 

Swedish classic rock/A.O.R. supergroup THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA have released a brand new album teaser video and single for 'Cabin Pressure Drops.'       Watch the official video here: https://youtu.be/FRYk8wilx54 Purchase/stream the single here: https://nblast.de/TNFOCabinPressureDrops       Listen to 'Cabin Pressure Drops' in the NB New Releases Playlists: http://nblast.de/SpotifyNewReleases/    http://nblast.de/AppleMusicNewReleases

      Earlier this year, the band announced that they had started recording the successor of 2018's 'Sometimes The World Ain't Enough', which is due for a 2020 release. The band have been working at the Nordic Sound Labs using the same drum kit that was used during the recordings of ABBA's 1980 mega album 'Super Trouper'!        The band comments: "So, you thought you knew what THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA was all about? You were sure that they were all about good times, boogie-woogie, radio-friendly A.O.R.? Damn, you were wrong. The one thing that has kept those ageing Swedish hearts beating for so long is DRAMA! Internal conflicts, external conflicts, rumours and exaggerations. 

Sometime early next year, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA will release their new album. It is a street opera based upon shattered dreams, broken illusions, and the fact that we are all something much less than the person we were supposed to be. But in the darkness there’s always a glimmer of hope. And from that glimmer of hope, with the right mindset, you can sculpt and create a whole lot of Swedish classic rock melodrama.

Most bands are teasing with clips from the studio and interviews with various band members talking about how excited they are about the new material. THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA are beyond excited. Therefore, they’ve decided to release a tiny soap opera instead, set against the background of the instrumental 'Cabin Pressure Drops', available on every streaming service near you.

THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA would like to remind you that this is only the beginning…"

Back in June of this year, THE NIGHT FLIGHT ORCHESTRA released a brand new single 'Satellite.' Watch the official music video for the track here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLmo5gbZI0A
