Embellishing eclecticism with style and uninhibited creativity, Kemper Grant keeps emotion and soul at the forefront of his writing throughout the notably colourful and unique album that is Jungle.
Music
Personal depth and clear emotion lead the way for Fitch Means’ beautifully melodic and smooth yet passionate new single 2am Drive.
The new single introduces Matt’s style in a quickly likable, respectable manner. These intricate vocal qualities, the artistic nature of the whole and indeed the production style, all emerge with equal parts intrigue and satisfying familiarity.
Hard Liquor is quick to satisfy (pun intended). A dreamlike soundscape, free from a beat for the most part, backs up a stylishly doubled vocal that hits with addictive rhythm and emotion.
Far from a simple arrangement of tracks, Saint’s Black Sheep is a project that encapsulates its underlying intentions in a hard-hitting, theatrical manner, from start to finish.
Tipping its hat to contemporary sound design and classic pop alike, Agu Vibes’ single Compromised is a pristine, well-crafted hit, which leads with blissful instrumentation and a powerful melodic progression united.
An easily addictive little anthem, Emotions is a complex and heartfelt song, which resolves perfectly well with a hook that quickly and long-lastingly injects its melody into your consciousness.
Yung Myth has written a classic here, seamlessly uniting elements of dance-hall, hip hop and pop in a refreshingly optimistic, addictive and slightly nineties-RnB or garage-like manner.
Beautifully done. A personal favourite from the year so far and an unmissable hit for the UK hip hop and indie scenes alike.
luvvvnomore has the kind of smart & sharp delivery & performance style that breathes confidence & self-awareness into the room. No quirks or filler necessary, the bars do the work as the soundscape softly envelops.
Growing Old isn’t the maudlin collection that you might expect from the title. What it is, is an appraisal of knowledge gained and lessons learned. An exploration of feelings and the sound of stock being taken. Best of all, it’s a wander through different soundscapes and states while all of the above is going on.
A beautiful ode to faith, and a reminder to stay focused on the things that matter. v
