After several years of providing vocals and songwriting for club hits like Duke Dumont and Jax Jones’ “I Got U” and Second City’s “I Wanna Feel”, as well as backing vocals for A-listers like Adele and Leona Lewis, South London singer-songwriter Kelli-Leigh made the plunge into a solo career in 2018 with “Do You Wanna Be Loved Like […]
There comes a point in every person’s life where partying every weekend starts to lose its appeal. It might be a question of age or you might just be plain bored of it, but it doesn’t mean you have to stop altogether — just maybe don’t live life at 100MPH every weekend. That crossroads is where Danish […]
Just like the green-filled West Yorkshire they sprung up from, Leeds four-piece Noya Rao are all about the organic. Despite their futuristic R&B sound, they’re far more interested in live instruments and hardware, giving tracks like their new single “Heaven Bound” a layered, lo-fi sound that’s impossible to replicate with software. Drawing influence from a range of sources […]
Isabelle Zikai Gbotto Carlsson, better known as Zikai, got her first break in the music industry at just 15 years old when she was discovered by acclaimed producer Mack Beats. Since then she’s been songwriting for a host of talents, but now she’s embarking on her own career. Her debut came last year with “Mountain […]
Born in Henley-on-Thames before her parents upped sticks to New York when she was a child, Ella M now lives and works in L.A. Her work on the West Coast has been nothing short of prolific; she dropped her first ever single just seven months ago and she’s already on to her fifth, “Selfish”, with […]

Through the immediately infectious hook and the big, maximalist production style, the rising star discusses the nature of […]
Walsall-raised, London-based newcomer Wesley Joseph is the one-man band you need to know now. The rapper, singer, songwriter, producer and filmmaker (who was once in a hip-hop crew with Jorja Smith called OG Horse) has brought his lyric-heavy sound to the fore with tracks like “Imaginary Friends” and “Martyr” gaining a lot of traction online. Today, he’s […]
At the halfway point of 2020, it’s difficult to reflect on anything at all, including the music we love. It’s like the world has turned upside down but all we can do is hope that, on the other side of everything that’s happening, we’d be closer to seeing a world where everyone’s human rights are […]
The exhaustingly long history of art-averse political figures missing the point of musical expression entirely continues in 2020 with the Trump campaign’s use of the Panic! at the Disco hit “High Hopes.” In case you missed it, and hopefully you did, the Trump team used the 2018 Pray for the Wicked single at a recent gathering of dumbfucks […]
