Song of the Day: Sparrow – Chin Injeti

Multi-Grammy and Juno award-winning alt-hip hop and RnB artist CHIN INJETI‘s single, Sparrow, is an ode to ‘letting go’ and ‘taking life as it comes,’

“‘Sparrow’ is my little ode to freedom,” Injeti continues. “It was the perfect ‘escape’ when I was held ‘prisoner’ in my basement, as I wrote it in my home studio while I was in quarantine.”

It was within those restricted confines of self-isolation that Injeti unearthed a refreshed sense of inspiration and a steady stream of new songwriting and production projects — including the release of new singles, “Falling,” featuring Esthero on vocals and Delhi 2 Dublin’s Tarun Nayer on tabla, ‘For the Love of Life,’ featuring Teon Gibbs, ‘Golden,’ featuring Thieves Like Us, and now ‘Sparrow.’

With over 500,000+ streams across platforms like Spotify, YouTube, and more, Chin Injeti’s presence on the scene pre-dates such platforms; he fronted the iconic ‘90s JUNO and Much Music Video Award-winning band Bass is Base, was awarded SOCAN’s Songwriter of the Year Award, and enjoyed years of producing, creating, collaborating, touring, and performing with the likes of DJ Khalil, The Fugees, The Roots, Jamiroquai, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Esthero, Bedouin Soundclash, and more.

Injeti has also created and taught curriculum for Vancouver’s NIMBUS, discussed the healing properties of music as a featured speaker at TEDx, and been long recognized for his life’s work as an inspiration, teacher, mentor, leader, innovator, singer, multi-instrumentalist, writer, collaborator, student, and yes, icon, with a star on Vancouver’s prestigious Walk of Fame.

Jessica Wilde Gets ‘Down To Earth’ With New Single

Down To Earth’ is South London singer/spoken word/rap artist JESSICA WILDE‘s sixth single from her raw, confessional concept album, with each song serves as a diary entry taking us on a journey through addiction and toxic relationships to self- empowerment and living sober. The album has so far gained support from tastemakers such as Jack Saunders on BBC Radio 1 and CLASH Magazine.

‘Down to Earth’ comes as the transition song, Wilde’s inner conversation amping herself to be in her new found strength, ready to bring it back down to earth when sh*t hits the fan, stay grounded in her power and authenticity, knowing when she stays true to herself she can handle anything life throws at her.

Produced by Callum George, this vibey track grooves textures of live feeling drums and bass layered with electronic undertones, carried by Wilde’s husky, distinct and sensual vocals. Check it out below…

Song of the Day: Typebeat: Harley Maxwell (ft. Dream Mclean, Paddy Bars & Dame)

‘Typebeat’ is the second single from HARLEY MAXWELL’s ‘ROOM TWELVE’ LP and is one hell of a feisty showcase of rap talent. Monster Florence’s Dream Mclean, Colchester native Dame, and Maxwell’s day one friend Paddy Bars go back to back on this UK Alt Rap anthem.

A hypnotic instrumental from beat maker Tao White keeps you locked in whilst the MC’s lyrically weave in and out of each other with hard flows and slick wordplay.

Self-released on Harley’s Peng Deli label ‘Typebeat’ is going to have heads nodding and necks snapping…check out the video for this bad boy below…

Beth Crowley Takes Us On A Heartbreaking Journey In Her Latest Single, ‘Not Like This’

BETH CROWLEY is back with her signature soulful lyrics and cinematic production in single ‘Not Like This.’ The song takes us on a heartbreaking journey through the mind and focuses on a love that’s not all Crowley wanted it to be, despite her hopes and dreams.

Speaking of the single, Beth says: “I wanted to play with the idea of when you get something you want but not how you wanted it. I put it in the context of a scenario where the person singing has the opportunity to be with the person she has feelings for but not under the circumstances she would have chosen.”

Musically, ‘Not Like This’ takes the upsetting theme and brings an upbeat twist with pop vocals, drum hits, and catchy melodies, all perfectly complement Beth’s smooth voice, creating the ideal heartbreak ballad. Have a listen below…
