Ferreira – All Night Long
Synth-Pop gets modern day twist with new single and album from international artist Ferreira
TORONTO, CANADA – One of Synth-Pop’s most underrated artists is about to release a new album with a sound so genre-bending that it’ll be turning heads all around the globe.
Ferreira has been a mainstay in the music industry for the better part of a decade, collaborating with some of the biggest names in the game. He’s been an opening act for legends such as Fabolous, Jadakiss, Pusha T, Styles P, Boys II Men and many more. He’s recorded with multi-Grammy-nominated artist Noreaga (N.O.R.E.) and he’s performed on some of the biggest stages in America, Canada and throughout Europe. Now, with the forthcoming release of his sophomore album “Venus,” he’s ready to become more of a household name.
“I just want to be known as an artist that everybody remembers for my music,” Ferreira said. “I want to send out a good vibe. I want to be that feel-good, listening-to artist who puts you in a good mood – just a good vibe in a nutshell. I hope I’m known for leaving a lasting impression and for having timelessness to my music. That’s what some of my favorite artists have been for me, and I’d like to be that person, as well for whoever is listening to my music.”
Ferreira had some success with his first album, “Mercury,” which showcased his charismatic style. Staying with the concept of planets derived from his Astrology sign, “Venus” is his follow-up project. Unlike “Mercury” – which explored a lot of the ins-and-outs of relationships, love and heartbreak – “Venus” is more of an examination of the outside influences of today’s world on a person’s day-to-day life.
“It’s more about people I’m meeting and life-changing experiences that are affected by things going on in the world today,” he said. “I grew up listening to 80s music, which was an incredible decade music wise. My dad would listen to Genesis and UB-40 and Stevie B and Michael Jackson, and a lot of the one-hit wonders. With this album, I’m aiming toward my childhood experiences music wise, but with a new style.”
That 80s vibe comes across loud and clear with the debut single “All Night Long,” which is currently available across all streaming platforms. With an upbeat EDM and Synth-Pop vibe, the song stays true to its name by fulfilling the promising of giving listeners a sound and rhythm that will make them want to move all night long. Ferreira’s finely honed vocals provide the perfect counterpoint to the moving beat, and the hook is one of those ear candy lyrics that will be stuck in your head for days.
“I’m an 80s baby and I kind of fell into that vibe with this project,” Ferreira said. “That especially shows on this song. It definitely has an 80s vibe, but it’s also a good indication of where I am today. Both old and new fans are going to appreciate the honesty and direction of this album, and the first single, ‘All Night Long’ shows just how versatile I can get.”

Santa Sallet X Nemizzo (MSP) – “Big Hands”
DMV-based rapper/producer Santa Sallet and France-based producer Nemizzo are MSP, presenting their new single “Big Hands”. Sallet has been busy showcasing his brand of East Coast braggadocious rap across a slew of recent singles like “Camouflage” (watch on Youtube), “I Get Money” (watch on Youtube), “Championship Ring” (watch on Youtube) and “Chinese Funk” (watch on Youtube) in preparation for the release of Plutography, Sallet’s forthcoming album which blends salsa beats, southern trap, and eastern jazz with classic and conventional rap samples, reflecting Sallet’s international upbringing across South Africa, Dominica and the US. Sallet is planning a series of full-length releases, among them C.R.E.A.M. which recounts his journey from broke to financially free, and Women and R.A.P. which describe his pursuit of success in relationships and the music industry respectively. “This is the song that really started MSP Tunes,” Santa says. “Nemizzo had laid down his verse and I was like, let me try something on this and I just talked about what I knew. What I think is funny, the outro is actually me recording a bunch of potential beat tags. There was a miscommunication and Nemizzo extended the beat and made it the outro. I like it though lol.” Check out Santa Sallet merch here.
