A contemporary, creative ode to Henry Purcell’s popular Aria Dido’s Lament, from the Baroque opera Dido and Aeneas – an unexpected fusion of realms.
Music
From great pain comes great art – a sad yet universally considered truth. This album is a dream to escape into, being all at once immersive, beautiful, and achingly poignant.
Born in Texas but more notably raised and shaped by the UK, rapper and artist Kway delves into emotional turmoil and unapologetic realness with this ambient and impressive, deeply personal freestyle.
In a way, this entire song feels like a freestyle sort of diary-like outpouring. Fast-paced lyrics contrast minimal moments and the two work in unison to promise a deeply open, genuine account of infatuation.
It’s a refreshing turn back to organic, live rock and creative song-writing, and a fine testament as to what we can look forward to from the upcoming longer project.
Forever unpredictable in concept, with a musical familiarity but an equally unexpected arrangement in most cases – hooks that reach out with light in the darkness, instrumentals that connect honestly to the lyrics.
Shirena Parker showcases powerfully soulful, emotive vocals and a respectably honest manner of expression throughout this beautiful new single.
An uncompromising and beautifully brutal set of tunes that comprises of 20 tracks that must have given the faders and knobs a serious workout.
Celebrating and cleverly exploring the end of an era – of high school – a fresh-faced, confident and vocally superb Logan Alexandra offers a detailed and boldly relevant pop hit; complete with an equally relatable video.
David manages to keep things eclectic enough to hold interest, yet still consistently in tune with his own recognisable style as a musician and performer. An easy listen, and a genuinely likable new take on some age-old loyalties and odes.
Gorgeously crafted, in short – a collection that feels like a timeless album of classics.
Naturally progressing from a series of uniquely thoughtful, retro-style singles – The Acorns come forth with a full length album of originals, and it makes for a refreshingly creative, contemplative listen.
