Everyday Pretender builds on a 5/4 jazz groove — a modern nod to Take Five — blending dreamy vocals, neo-soul warmth, and experimental R&B textures.

The vocal performance was created with Synthesizer V Mai², adding a soft, human-like tone that drifts between clarity and fragility.

The song tells of the quiet performances we give every day — the little acts of pretending that help us survive.

I wanted to capture that bittersweet balance between control and chaos, between what we show and what we truly feel.

An alternate mix with a brighter vocal tone (“Alt Mix”) is now available here:

Feel free to listen and compare both versions — each brings out a different mood.

Everyday Pretender

A vibey, flow-driven reinterpretation of Let Go, blending alt-R&B, melodic rap, and soulful minimalism. Naiya Vera delivers a hypnotic performance that drifts between poetry and melody intimate, raw, and unfiltered. This Flowstate Cut channels a Jhene Aiko-esque energy: meditative, feminine and emotionally direct.

A twisted game turned emotional revelation. “Kiss, Marry, Kill” dives into obsession, control, and the blurred line between love and power.

This is one of my faves because it sums up my journey to now... Sometimes I got stripped of all resources and had to find a way to survive, find a way to heal... And while the process never felt easy, there were melodies that pulled me through the fog.

Sensual Music Recordings was founded by Producer and Songwriter Mocape where the expression of soul, sensuality and sound craft meet. 

The aim is firstly to create music that resonate with people around the world and secondly to also make available licensing of songs for artist placement. 

Collaborating with vocalists, producers and instrumentalists our music is born from a belief that music should be felt, not just heard. 

Working with collaborators under this umbrella, we showcase a catalogue that spans intimate soul, deep electronic grooves, jazz and cinematic downtempo.

Whether you’re here to listen and feel, or to find songs that fit your next artist, you’re in the right place. 

All works are registered with APRA AMCOS and published via Songtrust to ensure transparent rights management and fair royalties. 

For artist placement, licensing, or sync enquiries, get in touch.

🎧 Shiro98 – Instrumental & Soundtrack Portfolio

Composer and producer crafting cinematic, dream-soul and neo-soul influenced instrumentals designed for film, TV, and modern storytelling.

My work blends warm electric piano textures, gentle dissonance, emotional minimalism, and unconventional time signatures (3/4, 5/4, 6/8) — combining R&B warmth with atmospheric, spacious arrangements that sit cleanly under dialogue.

I focus on expressive harmony, hybrid acoustic–electronic palettes, and subtle rhythmic movement. Most pieces are built as sync-ready instrumentals with space, clarity, and alternate-mix flexibility.

trying out some concepts.. tell me what you think 🙏🙏

An exec once told me I didn’t have the face for music... And I did hide said face from music for a decade, but after stockpiling bops I realized I needed to crawl out of my cave and face the music. These bootstrap mixtapes are rough deep cuts, scrappy demos, a workshop, a confessional and ultimately the sweatiest party you didn't want to go to but accidentally had the time of your life at. Hatched from one bad face, Songbirds of Sunset is part band, part scrambled cult of imaginary friends and unstable muses.
