Listening Post: Batch 540

'Terremoto' (Earthquake)is an empowering, beat driven, Latin bop!
Think of it as a female anthem warning the guy that she is not one to be messed with, and he needs to watch his step...
I really wanted the guy to get a chance to respond, and this comes in the form of my good friend, Ecuadorian artist Ignacio Arellano, who kindly provided his raspy vocals in the breakdown. 

'Terremoto' is my first Spanish language release, and I think it's about time! I have a MA in Spanish and French Translation and so it was time to put those skills to use in my music.

I really hope you enjoy this xx

NX Panther drops summer heat on this new release "Man in the Moon" with Uganda’s freshest emerging African dancehall and reggae artist Neitan Lion of the 3 Badman crew. An internationally renowned artist, polymath and Director of Tava Records, straight out of the Ugandan diaspora herself, and well known to Music in Africa Net for her amapiano banger “Jashu”, NX Panther is among the UK’s hottest artists on the scene right now often compared to some of the music heroines in the game (Lisa Maffia, Shystie and Nolay) for her sharp lyrics, notable versatility as a rapper and all-round vocalist. Her confident and self-assured style on this record with Neitan Lion's alluring vocals are reminiscent of Ms Banks, J Hus, Asake and Harmonise.

Max Bianco’s latest release ‘Sometimes’ superbly showcases his songwriting abilities in his own storytelling manner all set against a background of a haunting yet beautiful melody. The brilliance of the track is allowed to shine, through its sheer simplicity really allowing the vocals to take centre stage. Max’s voice is clear yet emotive and thought provoking and the strumming acoustic guitar is literally like the plucking of your heart strings.    


Max has said of the track:
“‘Sometimes’ is about life really and when the cards dealt don’t match up to anything, but how it's maybe worth taking that risk of going all in again and hoping for a better hand to be dealt next time.” 


‘Sometimes’ was written by Max Bianco and was recorded at The Albion Rooms in Margate with renowned, award winning, music engineer and technician Jason Stafford. Produced by Mark Pickering, head of ARU music department in Cambridge, the arrangements were worked on with musicians Fabian Bonner (double bass) and Sean O’Hanrahan (piano). Mark mixed ‘to the track’ and you can sense this with the space in the final master which allows the vulnerability of the lyrics to truly resonate with the listener.
