The Bramantes have premiered their new single titled ‘Calling’ on Jammerzine. That smooth, almost lofi, sweet sound from that dynamic duo from Canada has that sweet, certain something that captivates the ear and shakes the rear. But what may impress you without realizing it is the mix. The mix is brilliant. There is more in the background than you realize. But you also get that slight but powerful hook. That hook is spread throughout the song in a gorgeously stretched fashion and by the time the song is over, you want to hit play again.
ABOUT THE BRAMANTES
Hailing from Toronto, siblings Abigail and Eli Bramante (professionally known as The Bramantes) are a dynamic duo crafting pulsating music mixing jazzy vocals with electro-house and neo soul production. Such eclectic influences come from a rich upbringing in the arts, with heavy inspiration coming from their parents who are involved in visual arts. Abigail’s love for singing began as a young child when she would perform in children’s choirs.
That love led her to win singing competitions in jazz and musical theatre and eventually auditions for America’s Got Talent and American Idol. Eli’s love for music production developed after sitting in on his sister’s studio sessions. He took it on himself to learn all there is to know about producing music sound engineering and mixing, but his inspiration transcends aural realms. Fashion and visual aesthetics drive his creative processes and are muses when creating atmospheres and moods in the songs he embodies.
After signing on to Cash Money Records and collaborating with Grammy award-winning producers, The Bramantes forge their own path with their upcoming single “Calling”. The follow up to last year’s single “Wonder”, this second offering from their upcoming debut EP hearkens on an irresistible rhythm section reminiscent of GoldLink’s 2017 hit “Meditation” while rich vocal harmonies give the track unique jazzy undertones. It pulls listeners through times of confusion, helping them find their purpose and motivating them to pursue it.

Jules Rendell – The Return
Exploring themes of self-worth, perfectionism, and fear, Rendell has fused her soulful roots with electronic soundscapes, hints of funk and pop hooks. Filmed by Gareth Kay and directed by Ricardo Castro, Jules Rendell is excited to unveil the visuals for ‘The Return’, the third single off her debut album ‘IMAGINE’.
Speaking of her new song, she adds: ‘We spend our lives worrying about things that don’t really matter. We chase after success, value achievement, and stature, but it’s a trap that can tie us up. I think love is what can free us from all of that stuff – I long for that resting place of acceptance.’

Araya – Color Palette
Araya has dropped his new video for the track titled ‘Color Palette’. A smooth groove mix of gazed out guitars and a lazy swagger, ‘Color Palette’ gives that laid back bravado with a suave sense of the feels and everything in between to make this a feel good track for this year of healing.
ABOUT ARAYA
Araya is a Brooklyn based, Thai-Chilean singer & songwriter, whose introspective lyrics covering themes ranging from inclusivity to identity coupled with his serene vocal ability has already garnered the attention of various blogs and magazines, (Paper Mag, Fashionably Early), distribution companies (United Masters flagged Araya as an emerging artist and featured him on their collaborative Apple Music and NBA playlist, Base:Line), and playlisting placements (TIDAL Rising: Pop, was made the cover of Dummy Mag’s R&B, Pop & Soul Spotify Playlist).
Araya’s main focus this past year has been perfecting the musical aspect of his artistry and more specifically, working tirelessly on his debut LP, Atlas, which is slated for release in January of 2021. The lead track ‘Color Palette’, a track that pays homage to the importance that design plays in Araya’s world, will be available on all digital streaming platforms on January 5th. The 14-track album includes released tracks ‘Gemini’ and ‘World’, as well as tracks such as ‘Baby’ and ‘Muay Thai’ which take the listener on a journey of introspection.
Born and raised in Long Island, NY, Araya has long dreamt of pursuing a career in music. Having written songs from the age of 10, Araya uses music as a medium to comprehend and channel his emotions into reflective tales of self-acceptance and understanding.
“I think my music is mainly inspired by curiosity to forever learn and further investigate certain parts of myself that have led me to a deeper understanding of my place here. I think music has provided me a space to dissect my thoughts and experiences in an organic way that is lasting. The drafts of both my perspective and choices come to represent me and my journey.”
After a brief stint attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan, Araya came to the realization that although his time in college had allowed him to form meaningful relationships with like-minded creatives and hone his artistic talents in fields outside of music such as photography and graphic design, ultimately remaining in a college environment wasn’t conducive with Araya’s lifelong ambition of sharing his sound and identity with the rest of the world.
“Atlas is my personal map/guide to self-discovery; each major event, revelation, and freedom has led to furthering ever-changing versions of both myself and my art. As the project neared completion, I had felt like a weathered superhero amongst my own set of avenger accomplices; I had just felt so comfortable, confident, and able. It wasn’t until I stepped out of the way of my own self; put my worries and anxieties aside to nurture my dreams that I felt able to feel an honest safety in myself and my people. Finding this sort of “Eden” right under my nose in my own strengths and special qualities is the first major thing I hope to pass on to my fellow humans floating through this universe. It’s all inside of us and we’ve always been enough, that’s how I and my art feels existing right now.”
