[ad_1]
“We are so pleased to have such a talented and passionate artist as this year’s Honorary Artist to commission her original instrumental song: ‘The Dance’ for the 2022 UR2.Global – Yify Zhang Artist Challenge for other artists to use to uplift mankind,” states Amelia Kemp, Ph.D., LMHC. – President of UR2.Global, a psycho-spiritual arts project of The Sacretherapy Institute – a 501-C3 not-for-profit volunteer-run organization, (pronounced sacred-therapy with a silent d).
The Honorary Artist – Yify states, “It’s my deepest honor to be part of the UR2.Global Arts Project. I make music that reminds people they are loved. My mission is to create live soundscapes for listeners to get lost in. Connecting people with their deeper selves and others in their lives.” A goal and message she’s certainly spreading with her songs having been featured in playlists that have accumulated 1M+ streams in 90+ countries across streaming platforms. She has also been featured in Vents Magazine, Celeb Mix, The Drunken Coconut, Indie Guru, AVA Live Radio, York Calling, among other indie music publications.
The purpose of the annual Honorary Artist-in-Residency (HAR) is for the HAR to help inspire other artists from around the globe to assist UR2.Global in uplifting humanity through annual artist challenges with annual themes that elevate consciousness and unity. With the onslaught of social discord and violence in the world, this year’s Artist Challenge theme is titled: “MOVE US” based on the metaphor the arts organization extracted from the title of Yify’s instrumental music The Dance. Like a dance, Dr. Amelia Kemp states, “We curtsy and bow to life’s challenges, searching for harmony and peace while pivoting to keep our balance. Sometimes, over-or-under-compensating by forgetting to hold our heads up high as the esteemed sacred sources of energy-in-motion that we are, filled with loving light. As such, we can always choose to ‘move’ towards a new direction where we see ourselves as choreographers in life’s dance and all of mankind as partners. Then, unity becomes the only thing that will truly ‘MOVE US’ – hence our theme.” Thus, singer-songwriters are urged to create lyrics for Yify’s music that “move us” – as in: lyrics that move the needle forward for mankind’s evolution.
With a global vision, UR2.Global showcases artists from diverse cultures and ethnicities. “We hope artists take advantage of this opportunity join in solidarity with our Asian sisters and brothers to unite as a global society and end violence as it relates to not only people of color but for all the world’s peoples,” states Lamarr Kemp, Sr., MBA – Vice President of UR2.Global.

SENSANE, a Derby producer and DJ, will launch his upcoming album on 22 October 2026 via AHK Global Records, his own record label, according to the announcement. The album combines prominent voices from Panjabi music, new talent from India, and UK artists, marking SENSANE’s debut appearance as a vocalist.
The album follows SENSANE’s long-running mix of Panjabi and Bhangra traditions with folk, hip-hop, R&B, garage and electronic production, a sound he’s built his name on as both a touring DJ and label head. AHK Global Records, which he founded, has previously put out Punjabi-facing projects, including a five-track EP with vocalist Kulvinder Johal that reportedly debuted at number six and was described by some as the first Punjabi album to reach that position on its chart.
"This album brings together the sounds and artists that have shaped me," SENSANE said in the announcement. "I wanted the album to honour the legends, give new voices a platform and show where I’m going next. Putting my own voice on a track is a big moment for me, and I can’t wait for people to hear it."
Details about the complete track listing, collaborators, and SENSANE’s vocal debut track will be revealed before the album drops, according to the statement.
Studio CarryOnHarry will be watching whether SENSANE’s own vocal debut changes how listeners place him: as a producer stepping forward, or as an artist who’s been building toward this the whole time.

C’batch has released “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light) 4 – Cinematic,” an instrumental track built from a previously recorded guitar performance that the artist has reshaped into a new piece.
The release continues a pattern in C’batch’s work: revisiting prior work and reimagining it across multiple versions instead of viewing recordings as standalone pieces. Multiple outlets covering the release have noted that this approach — returning to older ideas and giving them new context — has become something of a signature, with this track functioning as the fourth installment under the “Our Little Pooh Pea (The Last Light)” title.
The piece is instrumental, with the guitar serving as the primary voice throughout the piece rather than functioning as one element among vocals or other lead instruments. Coverage of the release has described the guitar as the connective thread of the piece, tying its texture and tone together in a way multiple reviewers have called cinematic — the arrangement building mood and movement without lyrics to guide it.
Studio CarryOnHarry finds the more interesting story here isn’t the track itself but the method: a musician who views archived material as material for reinterpretation across multiple versions, and building a numbered series out of revisiting it.
