In a space overflowing with new music releases, I've been able to pull together another exciting round of music recommendations for Invest in Music’s ([@invinmusic](https://twitter.com/invinmusic)) Onchain Curator Season 1. My mission? To unearth the gems hidden within the vast realm of onchain music, regardless of genre.

As a curator, I take pride in my discerning ear, particularly when it comes to electronic/bass-heavy tracks, rock in its myriad forms, and a healthy dose of hip-hop. That being said, this season, I've decided to take a different approach to my music discovery process. I've challenged myself to set aside my all of musical biases and delve deep into songs that don't typically fall within my preferred genres. We all have our musical preferences; it's what makes us unique. However, my primary focus at the moment is to highlight exceptionally talented artists who are creating remarkable music and distributing it on the blockchain. I'm here to seek out and promote **HIGH-QUALITY MUSIC**. After all, isn't the joy of music exploration all about embracing diversity and discovering the unexpected?

In the weeks to come, I plan to use some of these newly discovered tracks to curate some more Arella-centric compilations that will showcase sonically cohesive journeys of my own design. These future playlists will provide a window into my evolving musical preferences, shaped by the vast array of onchain music I've been immersing myself in.

For now, you can enjoy my master playlist or simply scroll through the list below to join me on this exciting musical journey as I uncover the latest and greatest tracks. Be sure to stay tuned for an immersive voyage into the vibrant and boundless world of onchain music, where the pursuit of quality knows no limits. Together, we'll celebrate the artistry and creativity of musicians who are leaving a significant mark in this digital landscape!

**Check out my newest recommendations:**

"Wait For Me" by K-Zen Beats ft. Kish ([@Kzenbeats](https://twitter.com/Kzenbeats)) is a sublime 3-minute masterpiece that exemplifies musical excellence. The production quality is nothing short of remarkable, which is something I can't emphasize enough. Furthermore, it's not just a well-mixed and mastered track; it's an exceptional song that had me hitting the replay button multiple times.

Discovering "Paper Soldiers" by Karma Haze ([@kamrehaze](https://twitter.com/kamrehaze)) amidst the new music releases this week was an absolute gem. His flow is reminiscent of early Joey Bada$$ and Odd Future, complemented by sharp, memorable bars. Lines like "she's sucking me like outer space, they say that sh\*t's a vacuum" hit hard and resonate deeply.

ZOYA ([@zoyanaumchik](https://twitter.com/zoyanaumchik)) is a newcomer on the web3 radar, with her debut track "THIS IS THE END." This electro-pop ballad is an absolute perfection, hitting all the right notes. It's a flawless beginning for ZOYA, setting an impressive standard for her future releases.

Stumbling upon Ari Gumora ([@AriGumora](https://twitter.com/AriGumora)) and his album "Blue Spirits" caught me by surprise. I didn't just enjoy one or two tracks; I found myself captivated by four out of the eight. This collection of work is something truly special. In a landscape filled with one-off tracks, Gumora's cohesive and masterfully crafted body of work stands out as a testament to his artistry.

Let me introduce you to Kevin Thomas ([@kevinmthomas](https://twitter.com/KevinMThomas)).

If you haven't heard of Domino ([@dominosmusic](https://twitter.com/dominosmusic)), you might be new to the world of onchain music. This smooth, low-tempo rap track, featuring the great Sara Phillips ([@Sara\_JPhillips](https://twitter.com/Sara_JPhillips)), is a true masterpiece. It's not just an evergreen bop; it's a collectible you'd want to add to your wallet.

Back on my list for all the right reasons, Beats by LOR ([@BeatsLor](https://twitter.com/BeatsLor)) continues to push the envelope.

"Water" by Mayblu is the perfect golden-hour afternoon track. No seriously, my synesthesia was serving shimmery gold light the entire time. This song is ideal for unwinding with a glass of wine and basking in the natural beauty around you. This artist is a fresh face on the scene but is already delivering instant hits.

"Brighton" by Jade ([**@Jadeyours**](https://twitter.com/Jadeyours)) is a delightful 2k pop-rock masterpiece that absolutely made my day.
