The sky is the limit for Houston hip-hop artist Juven, in his release of his astronomical EP - Space Trademark: The Sessions. Dubbing himself 'Spaced-Out Juven', the 27-year-old is dabbling in themes of 'misunderstanding' and confusion in his 2013 release, taking on a literal approach via the use of 'space' metaphors to explain 'alienation' and departure from societal norms. Juven's quest for 'musical discovery' throughout these themes has gained him attention within the hip-hop sphere, creating a niche for himself in the American music scene in states such as Missouri, New Orleans and his hometowns of Houston and California. Finding influence in performers such as Virginia's Pharell Williams and Brooklyn-born Busta Rhymes, Juven's musical inspirations are clearly heard in his performances, yet don't act to compromise his own originality and personal flair.
Juven - Space Trademark: The Sessions.
The first track of the album, 'Runaway On The Farcyde' is a prime example of Juven's creativity and expression of originality. Teaming up with emerging R&B songstress Tiffany Star, Juven works to his strengths - contrasting upbeat rap sections with Star's more mellowed choruses. The male/female duo work well in this instance, providing a hooking introduction to the EP and demonstrating a well-defined layout of the upcoming songs on the track. Songs such as 'Runaway On The Farcyde', which lean towards a more pop influence, would not sound out of place playing on the commercial music stations of today. A few tracks further down in Space Trademark: The Sessions, the mood changes with 'Ziggy Ziggy' (ft. Teek Da Don) and 'She Spaced Out (ft. Nosa)'. Taking on another atmosphere altogether, Juven's tracks sound made for the club scene. Ziggy Ziggy is repetitive by nature, which allows for a good dance track that is simple to follow, while 'She Spaced Out' allows Juven to showcase his impressive rapping talent. The remaining tracks all fit within a more mellowed category. Juven takes the listener back to 'classic and clean' R&B with the majority of the EP. The tone of the music is slower in the second half of the track listing, allowing for time to appreciate the lyrical content and the holistic approach to creating a fluent 'space' theme throughout the piece. It is interesting to note that although each song follows the narrative association with 'space', a large majority of tracks are produced under different labels. Predominately, Juven has paired up to create the EP with producer ID Labs, but also draws upon production techniques from Ric and Thadues, Brandon Lee, Artem and Jayaruh Productions for tracks Cruise Control, Ziggy Ziggy, Cunning Space and She Spaced Out respectively. This coming month, Juven is expected to expand on the artist/producer relationships created throughout the recording and distribution of Space Trademark: The Sessions. Working with Big Jerm from ID Labs, Juven is expecting to release a new mix tape, titled 'Unreleased Data' this September, which will feature vocals from Georgian Hip-Hop artist, 'Ka Flame'. With the success of Space Trademark: The Sessions, Juven is set to reach star status in little to no time at all. Fans, R&B enthusiasts and astronomers alike are encouraged to 'watch this space' for further success. View album here

Review:
Thavy Ear captures raw soul — stripped down into rhythm, jazz and hip-hop samples — an emotional and forceful piece which conjures a black and white void of fleeting snapshots for those with broken hearts. Thavy Ear speaks through the persona of a fragile lover, hurling into reflections, thoughts and memories; questioning the world, her past and history.

‘Lovers Anthem’ is a soulful melodic, rnb ballad – with quality vocals delivered by Melbournian, Emrah Dean. It’s a sweet listening that makes rnb sound effortlessly soothing and gentle. Emrah Dean is able to grab the listeners attention through his repetitive but catchy chorus phrases.
Hint Hint: Makes use of the key phrase "Lovers Anthem, Lovers Anthem, Lovers Anthem.."
This is definitely one of my personal favorite from his collection because of the piano instrumental (credits to Jhay C) which adds a more mellow vibe to the general sound. If you love slower rnb tracks, that touch on the pop genre, Emrah Dean is your go-to-guy for a next listening.
The rnb singer has also released some other worth mentioning tracks such as: Make it Happen, Up N Down, and his debut single So Over You. There's a good chance Emrah Dean will be experiencing more success in Melbourne if he decides to release a properly developed music video - I know for sure I'll be updating readers with any future video releases.
Emrah is one singer who can easily ignite some popularity amongst Australian singers with his with smart lyrics and charming voice. I’m sure the ladies will be impressed with the cover art for the video, which features a dashing black-and-white photo of Emrah.
If you’re looking for something smoother than the usual radio club dance tracks, “Lovers Anthem,” is sure to impress, offering soft, yet still sweet and cutely phrased, vocals and lyrics.
‘Lovers Anthem’ can be purchased from iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/lovers-anthem-single/id556888504. This will be featured on his upcoming album!
Omar Dean has released his first full length music video for ‘Runaway,’ featuring Sophia Hope on the vocals. Runaway is that rare uplifting, ballad, pop track that reminds you of classics by Shayne Ward, A1, Nick Carter and David Archuleta - great deal more of 20’s pop, although it still fits the commercial mode of top-charting music.
Runaway is a pop beat-infused ballad, encompassed with love-song content that could make the average teenage girl become an instant fan. It contains a brilliantly composed piano melody, made wonders by Omar’s emotional, but gentle vocals; sounding just as rich and powerful like any other successful rnb-pop artist.
“I pray your feet don’t fail me now, we’re to high off the ground, don’t want to come down...” Omar Dean proves to be a lyrical genius and rnb vocalist extraordinaire
Many have already begun comparing Oman to the popular Sydney born artist Faydee, who also has pulled off some slower ballad tracks in the collection of his usual up-beat club/pop releases. Omar is special in his own way, with songs that are clean cut, soft in melody and integrated with a sound that’s focused on perfecting vocals and lyrics rather than producing a traditional commercial tune with standard lyrics.
‘Runaway’ can be purchased from iTunes at https://itunes.apple.com/au/album/runaway-love-feat.-sophia/id643962059.
