An instrumental composition, This Is Who We Are encapsulates a particular energy, and tells the story of strength and perseverance from across the past twelve months.
Music
Simple production accompanies an almost acoustic performance of piano and vocals from soul singer and pop songwriter Josephine Okujeni.
Tyner Lee Warren, known on the scene as Big Fella, is an artist and rapper recognised for his clear passion for and connection to the boom-bap sounds of the nineties.
The sound a little unorthodox, and this comes to be a known trait of Aveli Amun – creative freedom, concept first, expression utilising whatever’s needed to make the point and set the mood.
Kicking into gear with a refreshingly minimal verse vocal, and a soundscape that feels familiar in its electro-pop realm yet also walks a notably different pathway to the vast majority of releases, Do You Know proves an unorthodox yet striking, enjoyable alternative hit.
An essential hit of EDM escapism on the one hand, a provocative & immersive audio experience on the other.
Great bars, clever word-play, fresh rhymes, a clear sense of identity in the lyrics & vocal tone alike, and a notably refreshing ambiance that feels decidedly free from the confines of the contemporary hip hop scene.
Leading with sublime vocals and a beautifully euphoric, synth-kissed soundscape, the details and intricacies of Do Things are what give it such a striking and memorable edge.
“The song on one hand is mourning the loss of a life, but also brings into question how to responsibly consume the information that’s coming towards us at light speed.”
Celebrating ten years since its original release, Isabel & The Whispers re-capture the depth & creativity of their single Dot To Dot, and release it complete with a fresh set of visuals crafted in honour of the celebration.
Versatility is clear between tracks, but so is that thread of the voice and the carefree, confident way in which Jimmy James’ crafts his releases.
A really well crafted pop-RnB single, with a heartfelt & catchy hook – a strong introduction Carmelita as an artist.
