Gracie Abrams – Stay

Leave a reply

Gracie Abrams releases the video for her spellbinding single “Stay,” which has already garnered millions of streams around the world since it’s release in November and is currently one of the most played songs on Australian taste maker radio station Triple J. A fitting introduction to the 20-year-old artist, the diary-like visual for “Stay” perfectly channels the raw intimacy of her music: a stripped-back yet nuanced sound centered on her sharply detailed lyrics. Over the years, Abrams has shared homespun clips of her songs on social media, amassing over 200k followers on Instagram before she’d even released her first song.

WATCH “STAY” BY GRACIE ABRAMS

Along with spotlighting her subtle but stunning vocal presence, “Stay” showcases what Complex recently hailed as a “delicate sensibility and keen eye for the details that make heartbreak really sting.” “Stay” was written by Abrams and produced by New Zealand native Sam de Jong. 

Shot in her hometown of Los Angeles and directed by photographer Moni Haworth, the video for “Stay” offers an up-close glimpse into Abrams’s world. With all the hazy charm of a home movie, the visual collages together candid snapshots of her everyday life, unfolding in dreamlike images of spilled Slurpees, smoggy sunsets, beaches and birthday cake and fallen bougainvillea petals.

In addition to premiering the “Stay” video, Abrams has also announced her upcoming debut North American performances. Those two dates include shows in Toronto and New York with more to be announced soon. Tickets for both shows go on sale this Friday, January 24, at 10 a.m. EST.

Recently named an artist to watch by Pigeons & Planes and Idolator, Abrams, who considers herself a songwriter, first and foremost, fell in love with Joni Mitchell as a kid. “Her lyricism is very much what compelled me to start writing when I was 8, which is also when I started playing piano,” says Abrams, who also considers Tyler, The Creator, Carole King, and The 1975 amongst other major influences. 

Last fall, she made her official debut with the release of “Mean It” — a piano-driven, profoundly vulnerable track praised as “pure, sentimental, and undeniably beautiful.”

In 2018, she collaborated with DJ Snake, Ozuna and Cardi B on the global hit “Taki Taki,” which became one of the fastest videos to reach over 100 million views.  Her previous eighteen singles including “It Ain’t Me” with Kygo, “Bad Liar,” “Fetish,” “Wolves” x Marshmello and “Back to You” have all been certified by the RIAA.  As a solo artist, Gomez has accumulated over 22.4 billion global streams.

Winter Staycations In The Lake District

Leave a reply

Sometimes there’s nothing better than going on holiday but making it a staycation. After all, the UK has so much to offer that we often forget about when it comes to booking a holiday. This season, the Lake District in particular has so much to offer; from cosy pubs with roaring fires to traditional Lake District hotels set amongst the fells.

A winter staycation has a certain romance about it, especially in an area as beautiful as the Lake District. With that in mind, here are some top tips on how to enjoy a winter staycation in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Pack your walking boots

The temperatures may not be high, but get out amongst nature anyway and enjoy the crisp winter weather. The scenery is stunning all year round, and gives you the perfect excuse to switch off and enjoy being outside; just remember to wrap up! 

The Lake District National Park was recently awarded UNESCO World Heritage site status, joining the likes of the Grand Canyon and Machu Picchu; and it’s right on your doorstep! 

Get on the water

While we don’t recommend getting in the water during a winter visit to the Lake District, you can certainly get on the water! There are a number of lake cruises and boat trips you can book on your winter staycation, allowing you to take in the true beauty of the area. 

The Ullswater Steamers in particular are very popular, with a history spanning 160 years of operating on Ullswater. It operates 363 days a year and gives you a chance to experience some breath-taking views across mountains like Helvellyn. 

Check out the local food 

After you’ve spent a day exploring in the cold wintry weather, treat yourself to one of the many local pubs and restaurants that offer a great gastronomical experience. There are many restaurants in the area that have won awards for their food and drink menus, as well as décor and service.

Unwind in the beautiful surroundings of towns like Keswick and Penrith as you sample local cuisine like sticky toffee pudding and Cumberland sausages. From AA Rosette restaurants to cosy village pubs, you’ll find something to suit every budget and every taste!

Soak up the culture

In the winter months, you might find the Lake District much quieter which can be lovely for exploring some of the heritage sites in the area. Just north of Ullswater you will find the Aira Force waterfall, while just outside of Penrith you will find Lowther Castle. Near Keswick, you will discover Castlerigg Stone Circle, one of the country’s earliest stone circles.

There are also a number of Roman forts left behind, dotted in various areas of the Lake District. No matter where you are staying, it’s worth travelling to the likes of Hard Knott or Ravenglass for a fascinating look at the area’s history.

Blockchain Transaction Times vs. Money Transfers: Blockchain Continues to Dominate

Leave a reply

The blockchain execution time for transactions continues to dominate bank and money transfers. Data gathered by LearnBonds.com reveals the execution time for the top five cryptocurrencies from 2019 to 2020.

From the data, Bitcoin’s average transaction execution time between January 2019 to January 2020 was 10 minutes. The maiden cryptocurrency recorded the quickest transaction time in May at 8.421 minutes.

On the other hand, Ethereum recorded a 27 times quicker transaction time with an average of 0.22 seconds, a difference of 97% compared to Bitcoin.

Bitcoin’s fork Bitcoin SV recorded an average transaction time of 10.37 minutes. Another fork, Bitcoin Cash has an average transaction time of 10.2 minutes.

Ripple’s XRP remains the leader

XRP was the top cryptocurrency with the highest transaction times. On average, the token’s transaction confirmation time was about 3.8 seconds, it is 157 times faster compared to Bitcoin’s average transaction confirmation time.

XRP’s proposition is to power instant cross border payments and reduce costs. Generally, normal wire transfers and bank money transfers are costly and take longer before being executed. As per the report:

“Wire and bank transfers still have a long way to go. Bank wires can take up to five days for cross border transactions while domestic transactions last about 24 hours without factoring in delays like holidays and weekends.”

Notably, XRP‘s 50,000 transactions per second has surpassed VISA’s 24,000 transactions per second.

Rich The Kid is returning with his new release with his new partner label Republic Records and is looking toward 2020 with his greatest music yet. In 2017, Rich The Kid delivered his intoxicating “New Freezer” with Kendrick Lamar. The RIAA double Platinum track was followed by the triple Platinum colossal single “Plug Walk” in 2018. At this point, Rich The Kid had merely hit his stride after years of grinding, making records and breaking other acts like the world famous Migos and Famous Dex. Rich’s fame was growing as both a star rapper and label entrepreneur. The World Is Yours debuted in 2018, fueled by the aforementioned “New Freezer” and “Plug Walk.” Titled as a clear nod to Nas, the project showcased how Rich The Kid navigated seamlessly through crafting bangers that not only could live in a club, but also through car radios and AirPods. In 2019 he followed with The World Is Yours 2, led by its platinum single “Splashin,” and is now ready to bring the world his new music.
