Catapult Seat is the first single by Danish singer/composer Aksel Lindy Toft in a long time (GEMiNO). It's been a terrific trip with a lot of innovation and great new ideas and material in the genre of alternative rock/pop in the years since his last album "Nonpolitical Hello." 

The melody and lyrics of the first song are highly intimate and existentialistic, with a dark tone to them. Aksel collaborates closely with producer Oliver EngQvist, and "Catapult Seat" is the first product of their partnership. The EP is set to be completed in the spring of 2022. ​

Aboynamedblu is a songwriter, singer, and producer based in Cape Town, South Africa, where he writes and records the majority of his music.

The artist said about his brand new song You don't cry enough "I wanted to capture this moment that best reflects this place that we're in right now. The vastness of the internet seems overwhelming and building genuine connections with people is getting more and more difficult. My best friend and co producer Cat Gallent and I, found ourselves asking how do we resonate with people without shoving content in their faces, and it just became so clear that focusing on what the sentiment is in the music, speaks a lot louder than anything else. So we moved our studio from the city out to a farm, and created an environment where we can focus on just that So this is it, the story about the boy who almost became famous but got lost on the internet"
