Introducing a world music ensemble that’s easily worth your time. Tunday Akintan and The Yorubeat Band have captured an hour-plus live performance of original songs, peaking with the raspy vocal introduction and colourful horn section of Lion of Africa.
London--UK--Europe
From minimal, atmospheric beginnings, the originality of Big O’s beat is the first thing to raise the bar for this gem of a track. Somewhat organic industrial in its stomping, pile-up feel, the beat is followed by a four-chord synth pattern and the quickly intoxicating passion of IB Delight’s saxophone lead.
Quirky vocals and unique rhythmic production elevates the catchy writing and intriguing scenes of Mimah’s latest pop-fusion single End Up Without.
Creative film composer Will Bates incites a multitude of emotional reactions, with the infectiously melodic, quirky yet enthralling tones and ventures of The Pirate Album.
The UK’s own indie rock three-piece The Hinterland showcase the breadth of their ability as both songwriters and an arena-ready organic band; with a mighty ear for evocative arrangements. Their brand new single Biology offers a melodically charming and finely produced indie anthem, which feels well rooted amidst the influence of some of the UK’s most unique bands.
London songwriter and artist Rebekka Louise pours her heart and vulnerabilities into the creative process, with the fearlessly revealing, intimate and impassioned new album Shame Is An Old Friend.
Established RnB singer and artist NXTHXN captures the soulful essence of the genre, with the smooth and melodically intoxicating new single One Time.
Dancing to the beat of her own drum entirely, Kinzoogianna is an artist joyfully redefining what it means to be an expressive and captivating musician in today’s realm.
Inspired by the sentiments of Dostoevsky, the project drives with an organic passion for living in a wonderful world. Florence offers folk-pop melodies, distinct vocals that soothe and suggest, alongside simple keys and mellow rhythms.
Unequivocally the master of long-form rhymes that hold attention in both rhythm and intensity of story and revelation, Ultra_eko reaches new levels of leadership with this album, in musicality and writing alike. His consistent lack of will to adhere to the so called industry’s expectations culminates, presenting a ‘fuck the scene’ attitude reminiscent of the greats, only from an underground legend as yet unsurpassed in both ability and creative identity.
Wildly uplifting and intimate in its realness and colour, Joshy Connor’s album Love unknown feels like a genuine expression of connection and joy. Not a project written out of the common search for fame, but one that simply could not remain unwritten.
Heavy indie rock distortion and impassioned vocals quickly reset the cultural timers, as the UK’s own Faded Shades deliver a nostalgic anthem of resounding self-confidence and cascading layers of guitar.
