R&B singer Lou Val is back with his first release of 2021, and instead of treating fans to one new track, he generously dropped two smooth singles. The contrasting dual singles “Cruel Silence” and “Eternal Sunshine” are worlds apart. With “Cruel Silence,” hazy ambience takes center stage. Val sings to someone letting them know they’re not alone.

The intersections between dancehall, R&B and Afrobeats have proven to be a practically never-ending source of inspiration for artists in recent years. Between all the swinging rhythms, sun-scorched melodies and deep grooves, there’s plenty for musicians to get creative with—which is where Hackney-based singer-songwriter and guitarist Lavaud (pronounced “La-Vo”) comes in. Today, the British-Mauritian artist is dropping her […]
Last week, emerging singer Rmarni released her first ever single, “So High”, a hazy but buoyant piece of R&B for the poolside, and today she returns with the track’s visuals. The song came about after a chance meeting with John Legend and Rihanna producer Circa ’95 in Los Angeles and is supposedly the first of many. To […]
For the past few years, Paris-born producer Onelight has been exploring the connections between hip-hop, R&B and dance music, working with everyone from electro funk legend Egyptian Lover to Stones Throw signee Benny Sings. And if new single “Sugilite” is anything to go by, his upcoming Emporium album looks like it’ll take those experiments even further. Smudging together […]
Pop, rap, R&B and punk powerhouse, Bree Runway is back with one hell of a bang. Here to give us a much-needed elixir to pull us through the end of lockdown and into what will hopefully be the most glorious, sun-soaked, hedonistic summer on record is her new single “Hot Hot”. This time around she’s […]
After emerging last year with a quick blast of releases, NYC-based Houis (aka Gabriel King Houis) is back with “Daydreamin’”, a collaboration with Melbourne singer-songwriter Blush’ko, who incidentally also appeared on Houis’ debut single, “Pretend Goodbye”. It’s barely been a year, but already things have changed for Houis; the new track, as he explains below, marks […]
Kingston, Jamaica native Stalk Ashley may only be a couple of years into her career, but she’s already gathering serious pace. Last year saw her comfortably notch up six figure streams with each new single (including a collaboration with WSTRN), and at the start of 2021 she finds herself at the top of everyone’s Ones To Watch lists. Keen to […]
Rimzee has been on a scorching run of late that includes Upper Clapton Dreams 2 and a load of singles and freestyles, but today he’s back with something a little different. Stepping away from the usual tough-talking street rap, “Anything” opens up the Clapton rhymer’s romantic side and was one of UPD2’s highlights. WSTRN singer Haile featured on the original, but the […]
From Twitter to Clubhouse, British R&B has been a popular topic for discussion of late but people aren’t always informed enough when offering their various hot-takes, as many are still unaware of just how deep the talent pool in this scene actually is, which can be partly attributed to the genre not being supported by mainstream outlets in […]
Keyshia Cole has dropped off her new song “I Don’t Wanna Be in Love.” The track is produced by Cole, Ron Fair, Gregory Edwards, and Anthony Bell. It’s also the first piece of music the singer has released through her label Hearts & Stars, a partnership with music distribution company BMG. A video for “I […]
