It’s not always easy to recommend a project that so cleverly redirects first impressions, but for fans of RnB, hip hop, reggae and indeed quirky alternative pop, this two-album release is a must.
Music
Intense writing, honest performances, music that feels fresh yet also well-rooted amidst the heavy-weights of the genre.
Taymarion leads with breathy, seductive RnB vocals, and backs this up with mellow instrumental vibes and some smooth dance moves to further relight the style of the genre from way back when.
Introducing a mighty album of anthems and conceptual intrigue alike, John Consalvo leads with intention and unwavering passion throughout this brilliantly bold yet intricately considerate search for redemption.
By the time the final moments seep through, the track has worked its magic, highlighting an artist with a little something more to his sound than most – a certain clarity, emotion and integrity.
Smooth and sultry vocals lead with breathy intention and multiple layers of delicacy for this uniquely meandering, self-aware new RnB single from Nicole Mariee.
The UK’s hardest working alternative hip hop act leads with conceptual depth and faultlessly creative story-telling throughout Revelation.
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.
