Nothing can wash away the autumnal greyness that swallows everything up this time of year quite like R&B. Someone who seems to know this well is Liverpool-born singer Charli Taft who’s just about to release her new single “Like Me”. Steeped in the sounds of late-’90s and early 2000s R&B classics, “Like Me” is an […]
Miguel blesses fans with a new single titled “Funeral.” For this track, Miguel harkens back to the blend of the electronic-based soul that won him his initial fan base. Similar to “Adorn,” Miguel laces a bass-heavy electro instrumental with sultry lyrics. Yet “Funeral” purposely lacks the polish that is present on his earlier tracks, showcasing his […]
Self-awareness isn’t always an easy thing. It’s equally hard to be aware of what you have in that very moment, rather than growing old and looking back wistfully at days gone by. So you have to respect people like emerging Brummie talent Matt Ryder who is not only able to be present and appreciate the world […]
Adding to what has already been a success–filled year, R&B singer-songwriter Ayelle is back once again with another addition to her rapidly-expanding catalogue with “Unpredictable” — the latest of 12 singles the singer is releasing every month this year with support from PRS Momentum. It’s a fitting title given her tendency to inundate us with […]
Next year, January 17, sought-after R&B producer SIROJ will release his long-awaited new album, Among My Souvenirs, but ahead of that he’s just dropped off the project’s latest single “Perfume”. The nimble new track is a driving surge of emotion, giving rapper Dusty a moody and stirring backing for his sure-footed, melodic flow to flourish. If […]
Berlin has been a hedonist’s playground for a long time now, spilling over with nightclubs, art galleries and a never-ending list of must-sees. Visiting the city can be overwhelming and, according to R&B crooner Kean Farrar, living there is even more fun, even if you can find yourself paralysed by indecision. His new single “Windowshopping” taps […]
It’s been two years since the release of their boundary-defying debut EP Self-Edit, but now South London duo Vesce (pronounced: Ves) are back with a follow-up single: “Broken”. Driven by an almost dirge-like beat, the understated new single puts the pained, haunting vocals front and centre above the minimal production. While Self-Edit featured an element of gospel and soul stirred into […]
Few artists can say they wear their influences on their sleeves the way Bajan singer-songwriter RoRo does. She quite literally has the faces of Nina Simone, Ella Fitzgerald, Erykah Badu and Amy Winehouse tattooed on her arms and the influence of Caribbean sounds like calypso and soca are worn even more proudly, although less literally, in her […]
Italian-born pair M w S recently upped sticks to the UK and the move seems to have given them a renewed creative vigour because the months following that period have rewarded fans with an almost continuous stream of new music. Their latest offering is “Positive”, a seductive and soulful new cut that builds on the […]
Last year, Mr. Eazi‘s Life Is Eazi, Vol. 2 – Lagos To London dropped to critical and commercial acclaim. The 15-track collection arrived at the perfect moment as the UK’s love affair with Afrobeats reached fever pitch and used appearances from UK stars like Giggs, Lotto Boyzz and Sneakbo to maximise effect. One of the other collaborations on […]
