It’s a direct song, and a mixture of longing and euphoria and hypnosis. When the drop comes around each time, I felt I wanted it to go on longer – and that has to be a good thing.
Personal depth and clear emotion lead the way for Fitch Means’ beautifully melodic and smooth yet passionate new single 2am Drive.
The new single introduces Matt’s style in a quickly likable, respectable manner. These intricate vocal qualities, the artistic nature of the whole and indeed the production style, all emerge with equal parts intrigue and satisfying familiarity.
Hard Liquor is quick to satisfy (pun intended). A dreamlike soundscape, free from a beat for the most part, backs up a stylishly doubled vocal that hits with addictive rhythm and emotion.
Tipping its hat to contemporary sound design and classic pop alike, Agu Vibes’ single Compromised is a pristine, well-crafted hit, which leads with blissful instrumentation and a powerful melodic progression united.
An easily addictive little anthem, Emotions is a complex and heartfelt song, which resolves perfectly well with a hook that quickly and long-lastingly injects its melody into your consciousness.
Yung Myth has written a classic here, seamlessly uniting elements of dance-hall, hip hop and pop in a refreshingly optimistic, addictive and slightly nineties-RnB or garage-like manner.
Beautifully done. A personal favourite from the year so far and an unmissable hit for the UK hip hop and indie scenes alike.
luvvvnomore has the kind of smart & sharp delivery & performance style that breathes confidence & self-awareness into the room. No quirks or filler necessary, the bars do the work as the soundscape softly envelops.
A beautiful ode to faith, and a reminder to stay focused on the things that matter. v
Always an act worth taking a moment out of your day to turn up the volume for, By Small Ruin kick back into gear with a gorgeously melodic, classic pop-rock ode to the inevitable power of love.
