Tokio Hotel – Monsoon 2020

Tokio Hotel continue to impress with their stunning visual for their re-imagined version of their massive platinum hit ‘Monsoon’ (now called ‘Monsoon 2020‘). Bill Kaulitz, who sports Heidi Klum’s ruffle blue dress in the opening scene, elaborates on the video: “With ‘Monsoon 2020’ we are celebrating the past, taking it into the present, embracing the future and creating a time capsule of the last 15 years of Tokio Hotel. The director Kris Moyes had the amazing idea to use my body as a screen and project all these memorable moments of the band onto me.” He says, “It’s not only about us and our past, it’s also about all of us as a whole and the world we live in, in 2020… how the world changed and how we have to change with it! ‘Together we‘ll be running somewhere new’ – it’s hopeful and nostalgic”

Kyd the Band – Make It In America

Kyd the Band reveals the video for ‘Make It In America’ aka the lead single off his newly released Season 3: The Realization EP.

The single follows her debut EP ‘Scorpio’ and summer bop ‘One Night’.

EVERYONE YOU KNOW – Let A Little Light In

The EYK brothers return with their second single of 2020, the more laid back, mellow affair ‘Let A Little Light In’. Showcasing their more sensitive side, the new cut is a slice of uplifting, feel-good music. Rhys and Harvey, who make up EYK say; “We wrote this song in the height of lockdown. At the time everyone seemed to be quite low and frustrated with the circumstances we were in and due to obvious reasons people couldn’t see friends and family etc. So we wanted to make an uplifting anthem, one of them tunes that makes you feel like ‘everything is gonna be alright in the end’”.
