Let the latest single from FERGUS swallow you up with his melancholic music and distinctive emotive vocals. ‘Sinking’ conjures up many feelings when you listen to it, it has a powerful effect from the cinematic production, orchestral elements, and stunning harmonies. And of course the lyrics: “I’m sliding down to you There’s nothing I can do but wait As the water closes in I’m tumbling under you I’m stumbling into your walls And I feel you on my skin As the water closes in Your arms are wrapped around my bones If you don’t want me let me go And…

Fabian’s track ‘Discotheque’ couldn’t come at a better time – just before a long weekend and the prospect of some sun. Even if you’re somewhere cold and dreary, ‘Discotheque’ by Austrian born DJ and producer Fabian Luttenberger featuring Jordan Corey will brighten up your day no end. It is an irresistible haze of ambient electronica with tropical flourishes – sweet drops of summer encapsulated. Alluring vocals unfurl around puffy clouds of synth and a breezy bassline. Fabian is known for his warm sound and intriguing electronic manipulations. His previous single ‘See U Care’ featuring Alma is a perfect example. Other…

Afroswing is the sound dominating the UK music scene and beyond. Someone shaping this concept, a fusion of dancehall, afrobeats, R&B, hip-hop (and more), and making it his own is British artist IfeFinch. His EP ‘Courtesy of becky’ is out today and is jam-packed with floor-fillers containing the infectious ingredients of buoyant grooves, melodic rap, syncopated percussion and earworm melodies. We’ve been championing IfeFinch since the release of his super catchy single ‘More More More’ but had no idea he had been making for so long and is still so incredibly young (19). Once you speak to him you realise…

Lewis comments on the collaboration and the making of the song, “I remember being in our Nashville hotel room, sitting around a table with Wes and Laurel (The Young…

Hatty Keane knows how to deliver drama in her music from sweeping instrumentals to siren vocals and bold lyrics. ‘ME!’ is Hatty’s third single and relishes in the strong cinematic value as her previous singles ‘Pointless’ and ‘Never Love Again’. Hatty Keane venomously spits lyrics about a turmoiled relationship, “and these four walls have seen it all, the world thinks I’m crazy, cos I still believe in us, no matter what you say to me, me, me I wipe my tears and cover up my scars.” The orchestration changes mood from melodramatic with an underlying ominous tone to a bright…

The song reels you in instantly and exudes such warmth you’ll feel like you’re basking on a beach in Barbados. So who is the mysterious Young Tiger? The Copenhagen-based duo, otherwise known as Emma and Rasmus, met during a Jazz music programme and formed Young Tiger in a New York loft last Autumn.
