British Armenian songwriter and visionary creator Richard Simonian steps forward with a deeply moving new single titled Somewhere in the Heavens. The track carries an emotional weight that immediately reaches the listener, built around beautiful piano lines, warm atmospheric pads, and a massive uplifting chorus shaped by rich gospel inspired vocals. The performance is tender, melodic, and full of goose bump moments that transmit real human feeling, love, loss, and the fragile beauty of life.

Somewhere in the Heavens serves as a song of remembrance. Released during the Christmas season, it reflects the soft ache that arrives when memories of loved ones feel strongest. Simonian captures the sensation of speaking to those who have passed, honouring their presence, and keeping their light alive. The blend of emotional vocals and cinematic instrumentation creates a universal portrait of missing someone during the holidays. The song offers comfort and hope by reminding listeners that love continues in ways that reach beyond the physical world.

Simonian has built a reputation as a storyteller who writes with emotional depth and spiritual reflection. Drawing on Armenian ancestry, lived experience, and a deep connection to memory, he creates music that speaks to loss, love, identity, and the unseen threads that bind people together. His recent rise on radio and streaming platforms reflects how strongly listeners connect with his sincere approach to songwriting. Somewhere in the Heavens arrives at a time when many listeners will feel its message in a very personal way.

His second new single, This Love Is My Homeland (Ays Ser Im Yerkire), takes a powerful step into heritage and cultural truth. The track opens with guitar and vocals that set a warm rhythmic scene before drums lift the rhythm into a bouncy pop infused flow. Melodic vocals carry a chorus that feels worldly and heartfelt with traditional influences woven throughout the arrangement. The result is a song that feels organic, folky, sweet, and anchored in the sound of community and togetherness.

This Love Is My Homeland (Ays Ser Im Yerkire) stands as a musical testimony to the people of Artsakh, known internationally as Nagorno Karabakh. Simonian uses the song to highlight the quiet and systematic erasure faced by Armenians in the region. While the subject matter is serious, the music remains uplifting and warm, carrying its message through soulful melodies, storytelling lyrics, and expressive instrumentation. It is both a lament and a call for justice that shines light on history through the human spirit of music.

The single is the flagship piece from Simonian’s Artsakh album and represents the emotional core of the project. It speaks to the loss of ancestral homeland and the painful reality of a world that looked away while displacement took place. Simonian crafted the song with a melodic and accessible sound, ensuring that its message could reach listeners outside the Armenian community and resonate with a wider audience.

Both Somewhere in the Heavens and This Love Is My Homeland are now featured as a special double powerplay at 12:30 PM Pacific USA time for the next month and appear on the A List World Playlist. These two works reveal an artist with a powerful voice, a message that matters, and a gift for turning human experience into captivating music.

Kirz has steadily built a reputation as a versatile artist whose talents, sound, and lyrics bridge the worlds of Afro-pop, Reggae, and Dancehall. With his soulful voice and distinctive delivery, he fuses modern Afrobeat with rich African influences, creating music that reflects both his aspirations and lived experiences.

The move exposed him to the energy, resilience, and diversity of city life, instilling in him the humility and drive that would shape his musical journey. Surrounded by a variety of sounds, from movie soundtracks to different genres of music, Kirz honed his craft as a songwriter, backup vocalist, and recording engineer while working in several studios.

His career breakthrough came in 2017 when he won the Docdeff Beat Killer Contest, a milestone that opened doors to performing at concerts and festivals across Lagos. Despite the challenges of one of the world’s most competitive cities, he remained focused on his goal of becoming an internationally recognized Afro/Dancehall artist.

Kirz began collaborating with producers and artists from Jamaica, Haiti, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, and the United States. His first major single, Bad Condition, gained traction and built anticipation for future projects. In 2018, he followed with Pray for Me and Far Away, songs that resonated with fans and expanded his global reach.

The year 2019 saw the release of Freedom, produced by Jahboot, known for his work with dancehall icon Popcaan, as well as Party Boy, produced by Blacka Kartel, a producer closely associated with Vybez Kartel.
