The roots of the genre stand tall, that voice has character and these bars impress more and more so as the track progresses, but that backbone of authenticity in the beat and the weight of the soundscape helps cement the track as more than worthy of its role within hip hop.

Prior to the release of their long-awaited album, The Kelly Bell Band burst onto the 2019 scene with a brilliantly vibrant and beautifully upbeat blues-rock classic entitled Long Train.
All This Huxley are incredible, refreshing and artful, fascinating, passionate. This project is everything you could hope for when the search for new music seems to have grown impossible. A total dream to escape within for a while.
Fusing an electronic, somewhat industrial beat with fragments of orchestral strings, topped off with a pair of sleepy vocals and distant hints of intensity and angst, the track is as bizarrely unpredictable as it is cinematically captivating.
Featuring fine production and immediately appealing, creative artwork, NorsePreZ’ single EDEN starts off on a strong foot and continues to develop a sense of character throughout.
The songwriting and the vocals across this project are out of this world. Jennifer Valdez seems born to do this in the way that so many of the greats were. This album is a testament to the future of rock, and to heartfelt artistry as a means for making real music that connects and hits with impact.
Footprints seeks to and succeeds in energizing and inspiring its listeners. That lightly uplifting groove combined with this smart and empowering lyrical performance works beautifully. A definite must for the coming months.
A multi-instrumentalist, a creative composer by nature – experience and professionalism meet with a sheer passion for and understanding of music, and that makes these songs a total pleasure to experience.
There’s a pulse about it all, a living energy that connects in a powerful way. You recognise the traits of the piece, the notes and the pauses, the quiet and the loud instances of expression.
Fusing a powerful pop-rock backdrop with a world-inspired vocal chorus and an edge of hip hop, Never Give Up from Nurtuan is a hard-hitting and fairly unforgettable new single.
Much more than a simple talk about a popular recreational plant, The Cannabis Conversation tackles the real issues and potential benefits of a global cannabis industry, and it does so in a consistently interesting way. You learn a lot while you listen, and that’s incredibly valuable and important right now.
The bars hold nothing back, and the flow never lets up until it’s all over and done with – even then you get a sense that the passion and motivation at the heart of the track is somewhat unstoppable.
