VIX 20 return to Goosewing Music with the punchy new single “Try Again”. Following in the wake of previous power pop outings “Digital Age” and “Hashtag Change”, “Try Again” harnesses the thrills of rough-edged seventies pub rock songwriting and turbocharges it with twenty-first-century punk energy.
A complete back to roots for Vix after the electronica of their last single ‘Tron Takes the Train’. This was the first song CJ and Mills wrote together which paved the way for Vix 20 incarnation. The track was originally due out in April but Keyworker commitments kept the boys away from music and now more than ever ‘Try Again’ takes on a deeper relevance although originally penned as an homage to ‘Dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t’ keep patient, and try again!
Vix20 is Gary Mills and CJ, two music industry veterans who grew so disillusioned with the state of every element of the music industry that they both walked away vowing not to return…fast forward a few years, now rejuvenated, though no less prickly about the Modern Age, they return, to quote the band themselves, “we’re hard rockers turned to the dark side of pop”

Excuse me light of day, can I borrow you tonight
I’m gonna go to a place where the cold holds right
As I walk through the rain, I see an old old house
It says won’t you come in and oh yeah bring the light…and I say
Oh I guess I can
Oh I guess I CAN
Oh I guess I can spare the light
As I step through the door, all I see is confused eyes
And then a person says to me, what’s it like to know light
I said it’s hard to explain, it’s like being born for the second time
It’s kinda like being placed in a world where there’s no wrong
And they said
Do you think you can
Do you think you CAN
Do you think you can spare some light
As we all start to sway, twist and mend in the light
I can see every face their all like….like mine
As the night turns to day and the hurt turns to joy
We all walk to a place where the light holds right
And we say
Oh yes we can
Oh yes we CAN
Oh yes we can share the lightBa ba ba ba da ba ba ba x4

Cinthya Hussey – My Heart Is A Ghost Town (Julian Shah-Tayler’s Spooky Remix)
Cinthya Hussey has just premiered her new video for her remix single titled ‘My Heart Is A Ghost Town (Julian Shah-Tayler’s Spooky Remix)’.
Cinthya, to me, screams mega talent. In more ways than one. She is an accomplished actress as well as a stellar singer. And now she gives a perfect collaborative example with the help of Julian Shah-Tayler with this new video.
Cinthya and Julian mix like oil and water, which is a good thing in this case. First off, listen to the original HERE. Are you back? Ok, good. Now watch the new video above. See what I mean? What we have here are two very compatible yet different artists coming together in a beautiful mix of talent, harmony, and sheer love of the craft.
The multiple layers of instruments and melody surround Cinthya’s subtly angelic vocal style with imagination and collective crescendo that culminates to an aural passion for the craft. This is a song that will become a soundtrack to your next memory if you let it. And combine that to that certain something that Julian possesses in his own right and you have what music should be about: That love for the commentary of life.
Check out our other features with Cinthya Hussey HERE.
ABOUT CINTHYA HUSSEY
Cinthya Hussey is a Brazilian singer, songwriter, actress & visual artist.
A few years ago Cinthya watched a TED Talk featuring Paula Fuga and her inspirational speech ‘Believe In Yourself’ on how we all need to pursue our dreams. At the end of her presentation, Paula performs one of the songs on the ukulele that had brought her international recognition. Cinthya thought, “I could learn to play that instrument”.
Not long after, Cinthya was given her own ukulele as a present and taught herself to play by learning cover versions of songs that she has loved since being a teenager. There are several videos of Cinthya on her own YouTube channel performing songs by The Pixies, The Cure, Depeche Mode, & Cigarettes After Sex as well as the ‘official’ video for Cinthya’s first single, released in July 2020, of her stunning reworking of Morrissey’s ‘Everyday Is Like Sunday’. Produced by Wayne Hussey, singer-guitarist in the British band The Mission, who has also produced Cinthya’s 2nd single, ‘My Heart Is A Ghost Town’.
‘My Heart Is A Ghost Town’ – a vision of 50s/60s pop meets the Cocteau Twins meets David Lynch – is the first song that Cinthya has written herself, originally a poem that she recently put to music, which will be included on her debut solo album planned for release in 2021.
Cinthya has also recently contributed vocals to a couple of remixes of the Beauty In Chaos anthem, ‘The Delicate Balance Of All Things’. The ‘Rapid Reiteration Mix’ is remixed by renowned producer Tim Palmer whose credits include U2, Pearl Jam, Robert Plant, & David Bowie among many others, and the ‘Equipoise Mix’ is mixed by the Beauty In Chaos head honcho Michael Ciravolo in tandem with Grammy-winning producer Michael Rozon. Cinthya’s unique paintings were also used as artwork for the albums ‘Out Of Chaos Comes’ and ‘Chaos Continues…’
This is what Tim Palmer has had to say about working with Cinthya:
‘I had the opportunity to mix ‘The Delicate Balance Of All Things’ recently for Cinthya and it was a joy. Her voice is something special.
Ever since I was a young lad, I have been attracted to the sound of foreign female voices singing in English. Astrid Gilberto, Charlotte Gainsburg, or even Abba, always exude something special by being from far off lands. Somehow the accent gives the voice an innocence, mystery, and charm. Well, Cinthya has all that and more. Her choice of notes is refreshing and unique and I am left wanting to hear more. I wish her great success.’
And Michael Ciravolo, the curator of the Beauty In Chaos collective, wrote this about Cinthya:
‘‘The Delicate Balance Of All Things’ was the first tune I wrote for ‘The Storm Before The Calm’ and still one of my favorites. When I heard Cinthya do her cover of ‘Everyday Is Like Sunday’ I really fell in love with her voice. When I initially sent this stripped-down version to her and Wayne I thought she would sing more backing vocals and harmonies to Wayne’s original lead vocal, but when we received the trackback it was like WOW! Cinthya really took the song over ad took it to a new, totally different and beautiful place and I knew it was something special.’
Wayne Hussey, who has recorded both of Cinthya’s two singles in his own Green Room Studio in the countryside outside of Sao Paulo, commented:
‘Cinthya has a unique and singular vision. It’s rare, in my experience, for new musicians to be so certain of what they want to do, how they want to sound, as Cinthya is. It’s refreshing. Both recordings were totally driven by her, my job being principal to help her realize the soundscapes she was hearing in her head. Her voice is certainly something individual and the way she phrases things is unlike anyone else I know of. There is a sensuality to her voice that is effortless which is as all real sensuality should be.’
