Africa’s Heartbeat – Dr. Evangelos Viazis
There are songs you hear, and then there are songs you feel. Africa’s Heartbeat by Dr. Evangelos Viazis falls into the second category.
From the very beginning, the music pulls you in. No words, no lyrics — just pure sound that tells a story. It’s atmospheric, soulful, and deeply rooted in rhythm. The moment those tribal drums kick in, you know you’re being taken on a journey. Not just through sound, but through history, through culture, through spirit.
What stood out to me most was how the track balances softness with strength. The percussion feels earthy and grounded, like the heartbeat of a village, while the sweeping orchestral layers bring a sense of grandeur. It feels like standing in the middle of a wide African plain at sunrise — peaceful, powerful, and alive.
Dr. Evangelos Viazis may not be African by origin, but his respect for the sound and soul of Africa is evident. This isn’t a gimmick or a trendy fusion; it feels like a genuine tribute. You can tell he took his time with the arrangement — it’s thoughtful, meditative, and rich with feeling.
This is the kind of music that fits into many spaces — background for reflection, the score to a visual story, or simply something to sit with when you want to reconnect with something deeper.
If you haven’t heard it yet, do yourself a favor and press play. You might just feel something move inside you.

Amanda Holley’s “FOMO” - When Desire Scrolls Through Your Soul
In a world where love competes with WiFi and feelings are filtered like photos, Amanda Holley’s new single “FOMO” hits like a DM you weren't ready for — raw, intimate, and deeply real.
Holley, a New York-based powerhouse with a 5-octave range and a background as expansive as her vocal control, brings something rare to today’s R&B/Pop scene: emotional honesty without losing the vibe.
“FOMO” might stand for fear of missing out, but this track dives much deeper — into the fear of feeling too much. With lines like “Checkin' my notifications but I'm too impatient / and I love the sensation” and “visualizing you at my door every time I’m scanning my camera roll”, Holley speaks directly to the digital-age heart: overwhelmed, overstimulated, and unsure where to place its longing.
The production — handled by Q Tha Producer and SOSX Beats — is smooth, sultry, and modern, leaving plenty of space for Amanda’s voice to flex both emotionally and technically. There’s a softness to her delivery that makes even the boldest lines feel vulnerable, and a quiet power that gives the whole song weight.
But make no mistake — FOMO isn’t sad girl music. It’s sensual, self-aware, and almost hypnotic. It’s about that exact moment when you want to text them but don't. When you're caught between healing and craving. Between pulling back and giving in.
Holley wrote the lyrics and melody herself, and it shows. Every word feels lived. Every note sounds like it's coming from someone who’s seen the fire and learned to dance in it.
Standout Lines:
“You got that juice, you got that sway / about you trippin’ like ooo.”
“When I’m scrolling thru, These feelings Checkin’ my.”
These aren’t just clever hooks — they’re coded expressions of power, pain, and play in modern relationships.
If you're a fan of artists like SZA, Summer Walker, or even Ariana at her most vulnerable, Amanda Holley deserves a place on your playlist.
“FOMO” is more than a mood — it’s a mirror. And whether you’re healing, hoping, or just vibing on a late-night scroll, this one will land.
