Italian songwriter, CharlyLien knows all too well, the power of love, passion and companionship.
These are some of the themes she explores in her latest single “King’s Heart” on which she collaborates with singer Neil Darius and instrumentalist Artem lefimov
About the Artist.
CharlyLein, who’s real name is Dr. med. Charlotte (Adele Faverio) Reinke, is a 33 years-old artist who grew up in Como, Italy.
She started playing the violin and the piano when she was four and attended the school of music of Como up to the age of 18.
At 19 she moved to Berlin, Germany, to study medicine, setting aside her dream of becoming a professional classical musician.
As a medical student in Berlin, going out with my friends, Charly first discovered the amazing world of Electro and House Dance Music. What incredibly beautiful harmonies and energy!
She now lives in Munich, Germany, where she works as a child and adolescent psychiatrist.
“I am learning every day that music therapy shows a great healing effect on psychological diseases, just like music shows a healing effect on human sorrow in general,” she says.
“In Summer 2024 I eventually started producing my own music, so I have got a lot to learn! It all started on a sunny summer day, discovering the Garage Band App on my iPhone for the first time.”
On her inspiration, she credits “artists of all genre who let energy and passion flow in every single note of their songs, taking the listener away from reality to a world of incredible beauty and infinity. As for her favourite songs and performances, she credits Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto, the Beethoven Violin Kreutzer Sonata, Shiva by Luke Bergs, Dopamine by Purple Disco Machine, I´ll Take Care of You by Beth Hart / Joe Bonamassa, TragedieEnfantine by Romulus, Paralyzed by Lenny Kravitz, You Never Can Tell by Chuck Berry…
“In my musical style I am trying to let all these impressions flow into each other. I would say that now I am trying toproduce Electro music with some House, Rock and Classic elements in it.”
About King’s Heart
In Autumn 2024 I was sitting in my home in Como, Italy, visiting my father during my vacation. I’ve been a big fan of Fantasy, Disney and Marvel Movies / Books.
On this day the idea came to me of creating a song about a powerful king, wandering around in his castle and burning for love for his beautiful queen.
I wanted to create a song that emphasizes the power of love and passion, that is much more powerful than wealth and money.
So I created the song with the GarageBand App on my iPhone.
I then looked for two artists who would play the vocals, the guitar, the bass and the synth.
Artem lefimov did an incredible job in performing the guitar, the bass and the synth, playing something slightly different than the instrumentals I created, giving the song a deeper touch. The aim was to create an instrumental that wasn’t identical with the royalty free music material of Garage Band, to make the song unique and original.
The solo singer Neil Darius (he wishes ti remain anonymous) has an incredible voice and many years of musical experience, he also added some elements to the melody I sent him. BMF Studios made an amazing mastering work.
So this song really is the result of a team of four artists living on different spots of this planet, and I am so grateful that they agreed to work with me on this project.

Boston-based Afrobeats artist, Echezona is teaming up with producer and frequent collaborator, JPRiZM, on new single “Make Up Your Mind”
The soulful track that delves into the complexities of decision-making in relationships.
Inspired by personal experiences, Echezona’s heartfelt lyrics explore the tension between emotional vulnerability and self-preservation.
With a melodic blend of English and Igbo language, which Echezona describes as a melodic language, the song’s soothing tones and catchy hook make it a standout addition to the duo’s musical repertoire, promising a memorable listening experience for fans of diverse genres.
Echezona who recently opened for Oxlade, describes the chemistry between the two of them as “phenomenal”
“We might start a song either with the music or with the lyrics.
JPRiZM might play some music for Echezona or Echezona may come into the studio with a lyrical idea and melody.”
Their collaboration began in Boston, where they first crossed paths during a project for the ‘Boston Rise’ initiative.
Over the years, Echezona’s versatile artistry has blossomed under JPRiZM’s guidance, blending afrobeat, hip hop, SOUL, and R&B influences into a unique sound that resonates with audiences.
“We’ve known each other for about seven years. We first met in Boston Massachusetts where we both live,” Echezona recalls.
“We first worked together on a project led by JPRiZM and his partner for a Boston youth initiative called ‘Boston Rise’ that was grant funded by a program called Live Arts Boston.”
At the time they met in 2018, Echezona was almost exclusively a rapper. Working with JPRiZM helped tap into Echezona’s singing ability and in producing Echezona. JPRIZM worked with Echezona in developing a unique blend of afrobeat, hip hop infused with SOUL R&B.
“Don’t get me wrong, Echezona loves to flex as a rapper & has the bars to do so, which he shows off every now and then,” JPRiZM explains.
“But primarily, he’s focused now on singing and songwriting to tell his story. We’ve got tons in the vault to share”
JPRiZM notes that while he loves to listen to classics by Sade and Fela Anikulapo-Kuti, their music is not not influenced by any particular artist or song.
“We write music which we truly feel is unique. We don’t start a song with a preconceived notion of the endgame. We’re focused on making that song the best it can be as a unique creation. We’re evolving the music as we journey into the song. We both are music heads and music lovers. I had been listening to some Sade for to relax and to catch vibes as well as Fela Kuti but I can’t say that those are the absolute specific artists this record is inspired by, our music is a collective of all our musical influences over our lifetimes up to this point whether that is afrobeat, SOUL, R&B, jazz, pop, edm, and great storytelling.”
“This particular song, though, is influenced by a woman who had been disinterested in me and was no longer around,” Echezona explains.
“Then she came back around and wanted to come back into my life suddenly. While I still had feelings for her, I needed some time to get re-familiarize and re-adjusted to the idea of her being part of my life again.”
“So, I asked her if we could take things slow. She was in a hurry and wanted me to make up my mind quickly. That’s what inspired the song, her saying ‘make up your mind.”
Echezona had a lot to look forward to as he will be performing extensively at various colleges in the Boston area and on the west coast such as University of Southern California.
