Alternate Jane – Higher Ground

Alternate Jane is an incredible musician, hailing from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia! Jane’s first ever realisation of her passion for music came from when she heard the Evanescence song, “Bring Me To Life”, where the vocals and guitar playing inspired her to do some of her own! Alternate Jane is now creating her own music, and she has just released a new hit, “Higher Ground”.

“Higher Ground” is her first release of the new year, and I must say what a way to kick off the year! The track is alternative-pop/rock-pop, and it is absolutely fantastic! The music has some very rock style elements, with a heavy electric guitar and a steady drumbeat, which really gets you bopping your head!

Alternate Jane’s vocals are also out of this world! You can definitely hear her inspiration of Evanescence in her music, yet she still is unique! She has quite a soft voice but expresses herself in an incredibly powerful way! Towards the end of the track, there are even backing-vocals included which really highlight her voice!

Whether you think you are a fan of rock-pop or not, “Higher Ground” is a track you must give a listen to!

Doc Fischbach – Heart Of Barb Wire

Doc Fischbach is an incredible artist who has experienced years of toxicity, abuse, addiction and mental health issues, and used music to get thought them! He creates music with strong meanings, that apply to everyone.

“Heart Of Barb Wire” is Doc’s most recent track, and this one is all about becoming independent, strong and breaking away from someone who was toxic. This song is incredibly empowering, and Doc ensures that anyone who can relate doesn’t feel alone. One thing I find very intriguing about the track is that no pronouns are ever used, and this goes for all his other tracks too! This guarantees that nobody is marginalized and that everyone can correlate with!

The music in the song has a lovely beat to it, that will undoubtedly get you bopping your head along to it! Due to it not being too over the top, we are really able to hear Doc’s actual vocals. It is clear that he holds some emotion, but also some power at the same time, as he lets go of this toxic link! Doc’s vocals are just fantastic, and I could honestly listen to them all

Dax – The Devil’s Calling

The fantastic Dax strikes again and creates another brilliant release! This time, Dax has created a hard, deep rap track, and it is undeniable that it is amazing!

Dax is known for starting from nothing, to creating fantastic music, that holds deep meanings. “The Devil’s Calling” appears to be more of a harsh, angrier track to his usual songs, yet you can really hear his power and emotion in his vocals.

With a catchy beat, and hard basslines, we find ourselves tapping our foot along to the track. The music is extremely unique, and honestly is so fascinating!

I cannot describe how brilliant Dax’s rapping is! He holds so much potential, and I cannot wait to hear him, and his music expand! The thing I love most about his rapping, is that he never fails to sing about important or more personal subjects, unlike a lot of rappers these days who all create music based on the same topics!

With “The Devil’s Calling” only be released last week, the track definitely needs more recognition! There is even a music video that has been put together to accompany this song!

Quite interestingly, his stage name Onbar, comes from when he was working in a coffee shop (on bar meaning the person making the drinks).

Another great thing about “CHANCE” is the vocals! All the vocals in this track are amazing and incredibly soft and soothing. Listening to the voice in this one is ultimately lovely, and you will undoubtedly find yourself falling in love with the vocals!
