ydney Wayser is known professionally as CLARA-NOVA, a guitarist, keyboard player and singer, this French-American is building a reputation in the alt-pop genre. With 3 albums and 2 EPs already out, CLARA-NOVA is now releasing her third EP, The Golden Age. The five songs are original in their wildness, overflowing with California youthful energy. CLARA-NOVA is pure, focused and conveys the emotional core of each track. CLARA-NOVA worked with producer Shawn Everett (Julian Casablancas, Ala- bama Shakes) on the project. Wayser is also collaborating with different Los Angeles based photographers on a mixed media series. The theme of the series is boundaries, borders and walls. Wayser says, “We build transparent walls to isolate us from each other and our social structure forms these boundaries. I hope this collection of photographs encourages people to reflect on how they put others in boxes or how they’ve been put in boxes of their own.” That’s the short of it!

Tracklist:

01 – Electric
02 – Cold Water
03 – Scattered Hearts in the Parks of Cities
04 – Lives
05 – Unmistakable

Charlee Remitz, Charlee Remitz - Sad Girl Music (Album), music, Musica

‘Sad Girl Music’ is the new album from electro-pop songwriter Charlee Remitz. Vibrant synths, climbing melodies and dynamic drums collide to create an effervescent soundscape. It will transport you to a hazy sun-drenched dream world; Remitz’ is a master of narrative driven writing, filling her songs with personal tales of love, heartbreak and empowerment.

“In June, we broke my heart. It wasn’t as simple as, “he did it.” No. Because I did it too. I think he wanted to be let go. He couldn’t do it himself. I grasped at his fingertips, bracing myself at the cliff’s edge while he dangled into whatever void would swallow him should I decide to loosen my grip and set myself free. That’s when I lost myself. Those final weeks, when I knew we were done, but I couldn’t stand up, walk away, trust that if I let him fall, he won’t come apart, or I won’t jump in after him. Finally, I slipped my hand from his. That’s where my story begins. Sad Girl Music isn’t about him. It’s about me. It’s about drowning so you can become what you cannot possibly be when you stay above the surface. Sadness is not a weakness. Sadness is a triumph.”

Tracklist:

01 – To Tell You the Truth
02 – Bmw (Reprise)
03 – Devilish
04 – My Worst
05 – Forever Like This
06 – Overgrown
07 – Twenty
08 – Sad Girl Music
