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 […]
Berlin-based producer Narou and New Zealand singer Noah Slee have been pushing their respective soul sounds for a good few years now, mixing the genre’s capacity for futurism with classically-minded songwriting and a firm understanding of how to tug at our heartstrings. They’ve now joined forces on new single “Enough”, a tender offer of encouragement to […]
Spanish singer XNilo is quite often included in the expansive umbrella of reggaeton and its various subgenres, but the reality is he has a lot more to his repertoire than that. His inspirations are numerous, spanning classic soul, hip-hop, trap and more, each taking turns to bubble up to the surface on any given song. His latest offering, […]
Stockport-raised Shango SK unquestionably wears the influence of his home turf on his sleeve, particularly those of nearby Manchester. His debut single “Innocent”, a slickly-created affair that he produced himself, owes as much to indie as it does R&B — the former makes itself heard in the twinkling guitar melodies while the latter shines through […]
UK R&B newcomer SoLonely is having a stellar year. His recent debut project Still Alone is doing some serious numbers on Spotify, he’s released a whole bag of well-received singles and now, with his new offering “Miles Away”, he could very well have a serious hit on his hands.

Sam Wills — a name you’ll know from his collaborations with Tom Misch and Jordan Rakei, as well as his writing for Jorja Smith — has spent much of the lockdown period tucked away in his home studio, putting the finishing touches to his debut album (due early next year), and today sees the release […]
Enigmatic singer and multi-instrumentalist c. racha may not be a name you’re entirely familiar with (besides a quiet Insta page, he has pretty much zero social media presence), but that’s all about to change this year. Today he presents the visuals for the latest single from his debut project, EP1, itself a primer for an album slated for […]
Today marks the release of “Scorpio’s Letter”, the third single from reggae three-piece Taste Of Pluto. Hailing from the Caribbean, the trio consists of Dominca-born singer Navy, and Barbados-born Tyler and Marwin (who also have ties to North America and Sweden, respectively), with influences that span multiple genres including reggae, hip-hop, soul and beyond. Despite having only […]
Last month, rapidly-ascending singer Dolapo released her first single of the year, “It’s Alright”, a smooth R&B cut with bags of chart potential, and now we’ve got the video to go with it. An understated and seductive affair, the visuals capture Dolapo in her finery under soft lighting with a distinct late-’90s R&B vibe to match her […]
We’ve all been in those relationships that are bad for both parties, but feel so good all the same. It can be too much to resist, can’t it? That’s what makes “Bad 4 U”, the smouldering new single from South East London rapper Jay 8lue, so utterly relatable. Blending together hip-hop and R&B (with just a […]
