For someone with such a soft and delicate sound, Arlo Parks has made quite an impact over the last 12 months. Throughout 2020 she teased us with stunning originals and inspired, lo-fi covers of tracks like The xx’s “VCR” and Radiohead’s “Creep” and “Fake Plastic Trees”. All of that, it turns out, was building up to […]
Born and raised in Southend-on-Sea, you may remember Ruti as the young singer-songwriter who stormed who way to victory on The Voice 2018 — but a lot’s happened since then. The past couple of years have seen her sign to Polydor and bunker down in the studio to work on what would become her first batch of singles. The […]
For the past couple of years, South East Londoner Joel Culpepper has been locked away working on his debut album proper, Sgt Culpepper. We got the first taste of the album in “Return” and “W.A.R” last year and now we’ve got a new taste, “Poetic Justice”, along with some fresh new visuals from Julianknxx. Produced by Tom Misch and […]

However! Music, as always, has been an […]
For the past two years, London-based singer-songwriter Kieron McIntosh has been operating as House Of EL, a multi-faceted outlet of his that was built on years of experience as a musician, producer and songwriter for heavyweights like Chase & Status and Paloma Faith. Now with two years of his own material behind him, he today presents his […]
R&B singer Emanuel has clear and lofty goals for his music. He’s even written an artist’s manifesto about his 2020 EP series he’s calling Alt Therapy, and put it out into the universe. That’s not typical of most artists; maybe theirs is sitting privately on a nightstand or affixed to the fridge. “Alt Therapy. It represents so many things. It […]
Having made a prodigious debut with two singles and an EP, 22-year-old singer-songwriter Charlotte Jane took a more measured approach to her release schedule this year. Save for a cover of Childish Gambino’s “Redbone” in July, her new single “Get It Right” is her first of the year and today she returns to it for […]
