Neon Dreams, the rap-pop duo who you should have on your radar, are set to explode onto the screen with their latest single House Party (in advance of their album The Happiness of Tomorrow, coming soon). House Party is an honest and philosophical outlook on life and connection (or lack thereof), explored through the lens of frontman Kadillac’s experiences of partying as an adolescent. It’s a song that manages to walk the line between melancholy and joy and is sure to appeal to their Gen Z target audience. The song is suitably anthemic, smacking of Imagine Dragons, but with the…

The world of pop can be a fickle one. All too often pop stars are some cookie-cutter fantasy of whatever the label or the management wants them to be – a manufactured, short-lived pretty face, designed to provide attention for one short moment before being lost to the annals of time. Not so for Allegra. Blossoming new talent on the pop scene, Allegra is an eighteen-year-old musician who knows exactly what she wants and will stop at nothing to get it. Her new track, aptly titled Do What I Want, is a flurry of handclaps, layered vocals, and raw attitude…

The music video for Chaskele sees Twitch…
OFFCOURSE drops a brand new single and music video titled Address That. If sporting a Lauryn Hill T-shirt on the music video is a sign of what to expect from this South London rapper, he does not disappoint, as he jumps on the beat with the confidence of a veteran, spitting rhymes with ease. It’s exciting to watch a newcomer with good intricate wordplay, displaying lyrical muscle and bravado. On Address That, OFFCOURSE teams up with GRM Daily Rated Awards nominee Adotskitz, who has previously worked with the likes of Stormzy, Krept & Konan, Skepta, Mr. Eazi, and French Montana.…

With a background in singing and musical theatre, a day job in modelling, and a drive to produce music that signifies to others that they aren’t alone, Lorenzo Doryon has the whole package. The recently released single, ‘Straight Into The Fire’ is a song about letting go of that which does not serve you, looking forward and carrying on on the future path you laid out for yourself and accepting all that might come your way. It’s tackled with Doryon’s belter of a vocal (the kind which saw him constantly take to the stage in musical productions as a child),…
The R3HAB remix of Steven Malcolm’s juggernaut of a track, ‘Fuego’, sees the Dutch DJ/producer breathing new life into the collaboration between rising hip hop star, Steven Malcolm, and dancehall legend, Shaggy. Originally a song which honoured Steven and Shaggy’s multicultural heritage, this new remix brings mystery and energy to the song, whilst losing none of the tune’s integrity and punch. The song was always intended to contain a certain Caribbean flavour, with Shaggy bringing his Jamaican patois to the track. Together, Steven Malcolm and Shaggy turn ‘Fuego Remix’ into a summertime anthem that crosses borders and blends genres. American…
James Billett may be a name you’ve caught wind of before. Already begun his career in a false start many would be proud of – writing sessions with John Legend and encouragement from Elton John – Billett then decided that the mainstream record label life was not for him and turned his back on music for ten years. This EP is his comeback. A comeback on his own terms, with songwriting topics at heart which he actually believes in and values, the What Will They Say About Us EP sees this seasoned songwriter tackle themes of police brutality (written long…

Her releases so far have all tackled the difficulties she has overcome on her way to the top of her industry – becoming one of the most sought-after producers in the business (collaborating with Ward Thomas and Jack Savoretti). An avid spokesperson for women in music, she now turns her hand to the dark side of…
President Street is back with a deeply personal tale about overcoming adversities and finding self-belief and assurance. Beginning with vocalist Ruby’s unmistakable honeyed tone, ‘Something to Believe’, the new single from Australian pop-fusion collective is instantly recognisable, and will instantly hook you. The song takes inspiration from early 2000s R&B, with a nostalgia-inducing drum track accompanying a delicate piano line. The chorus is full, led by Ruby’s triumphant vocals as she professes to have found “something to believe” in herself. The message of self-love in the form of self-exploration puts President Street firmly on the money when it comes to…
