Unique from the offset, Erica Lee Martin’s Take My Picture is every bit the artistic alternative anthem its artwork and title imply.
London--UK--Europe
Setting the scene with industrial soundscapes & fast-paced, forward thinking lyrics that pour through with a sci-fi, cinematic sort of prowess. Ultra_eko is the story-teller, technology is the enemy.
An EP of originals that stylishly bring together elements of jazz, funk, soul and RnB – and all the while promise to inspire, provoke thought, and leave you feeling ready for anything.
Superb songwriting, nostalgic as ever but standing tall on the strength of contemporary reflections that speak to today’s world and its related feelings.
Stylishly blending a jazz-cafe-style soundscape with paired vocals, harmonies, and a fine sense of structure, Greener delivers immediate good vibes instrumentally, and proceeds to weave around you a web of realism that’s strangely calming to listen to.
Pouring through with a crystal-clear yet delicately dreamlike soundscape and beat, C Williams’ new single sets the mood from the offset, and proceeds to offer the intimate anthem for lovers that summer 2020 has been calling out for.
Mateus manages to impress and offer faultlessly appropriate escapism all in one controlled and calming sweep. An artist through and through, and a project well worth relaxing into.
We all dwell on our mistakes, we all overthink and find ourselves lying still in utter silent chaos. Awake encapsulates that state of being, and it couldn’t come at a better time.
“Comparing short term to long term can help to put things into perspective. For example, we could be in quarantine for a total of a year depending on the circumstances – But we could all be somewhere completely different in 5 years, so why not use this time to think, plan, and prepare for that where possible?”
Blending a tripped-up, hi-hat-driven jazz beat, organic and easy on the ears, with a much more mellow-paced, smooth and soulful vocal line, Daydream celebrates love and intimacy in a refreshing way.
The mellow swagger of that guitar part loops around the listener in a calming manner, and the satisfying resolve of being a Happy Mess leaves a powerful feeling that everything will be alright. What more could you ask for?
From the complexities of love to contemplation of life itself, this album underlines the meandering existence of a soulful, expressive artist.
