The UK’s hardest working alternative hip hop act leads with conceptual depth and faultlessly creative story-telling throughout Revelation.
Music
Bringing together pop-punk melodies and a quirky vocal style with deeply revealing lyrics – the sort that lean back and forth between carefree, comical, and decidedly intimate – Brett Reel keeps things hopeful and honest throughout his brand new EP.
Far from the decades past hit that resurfaced in 2019, Rocket Man is an infectious and fast-paced hip hop fusion track with a clear pop edge for accessibility.
Genre is far from a limitation here, more a suggestion, and with each track we get a new stage of change. Acoustic, gentle, distorted, heavy, fast-paced, whispered, artistic. Everything’s here, and all of it has purpose.
Conceptual story-telling complete with voice-over scenes and consistently creative production – Will Tomorrow Ever Come envelops its audience in this intimate, revealing and thoughtful series of events.
Bringing together an indie-funk, guitar-led soundscape and emo-rap melodies and sentiments, Joe Washko’s new single leads with colour and melancholy united.
Dealing with intimacy, longing, regret and loss, If I Found A Way manages to feel all at once impassioned with a single other, like a whispered declaration, and more broadly accessible like a love song for the masses.
With equal parts humour and poetry, Guess I’m a Rapper Now breathes further life into the Joe Radio persona.
A beautifully humble track with a timeless quality and a calm yet confident delivery – from a clearly passionate and emotionally authentic Lisa Nicole.
Creatively blending industrial rhythms with an edge of funk and a quickly anthem-like spoken vocal to mix things up all the more so – this four-way collaborative release makes light work of eclectic artistry.
Hollywood’s Midnight Angels blend high energy and emotive poetry with this mighty new dance pop anthem.
This album reminds us of many things that matter in life, not least of all the consistently illuminated fact; If You Can’t Forgive You Can’t Love.
