On May 21st 2020 he will be releasing his new album “Best Proposal Ever” but before that he will be releasing a single from it titled “Head In The Clouds” on April 10th 2020.

In, what must be described as, the most adventurous proposal idea we’ve ever heard of. Reverse Mechanic throws everything he’s got at this project. The romantic rollercoaster ride is split into eight tracks, according to his website they “…were initially unveiled piece by piece to the woman who inspired them”.

The track “Head In The Clouds” boasts a indie/rap fusion which is set to captivate listeners as they embark on the sonic journey. There’s some cool little hooks that Reverse Mechanic threw in there. If the rest of the album follows this method, it’s set to be a great release. This is certainly a trip you wanna ride shotgun on!

On his website, Reverse Mechanic says part of this release includes “a 12-hour extravaganza of ridiculous stunts and over the top gestures – (Think limo rides, a horse & carriage, rented out dance studio where they first met, surprise acoustic song unveiled live at their first date location, 300 flowers and 5,000 rose petals, a rented out theater for a private red carpet screening of a professionally produced and personalized movie, special gifts, etc.). A behind the scenes crew with a lead videographer took painstaking efforts to facilitate and document the day.”

She found her musical inspiration at an early age, her father used to sing tunes from Charlie Pride and her aunt sang in her own country music group.

FEATURE: “Time To Wake Up.” by James Toper

Leave a comment

James Toper is an artist who’s been making music for almost a decade now (as of this writing). James drew inspiration from famous artists such as deadmau5, Avicii and Madeon. Over the years, he has been working tirelessly on his craft – evolving his sound all the way. On January 31st 2020, he released his first album titled “Time To Wake Up.”

The ten track album boasts an eclectic mix of sounds and stylings with themes from James’ adolescence. This is certainly a personally driven endeavour with many subjects including the ever classic love and relationships which we can all relate with in some way or another.

While this release is predominantly in the “EDM/Electronic” category, this feels like it could branch out into synth-pop. Casual listeners and hot-headed musos alike can really get behind this release. “Time To Wake Up.” is quite an achievement. If you’re a devoted listener to EDM-esque music you will most likely notice the influences in James’ music. Though when you really think about it, he doesn’t directly copy and that is a testament to James’ creativity when it comes to his own compositions.

You can listen to “Time To Wake Up.” on Spotify. You can also follow James Toper on Instagram.
