Star Song: Richie Ashwin –Eyes On Me

RICHIE ASHWIN is back with another stunning production, Eyes On Me. Last month, I had the pleasure of reviewing this British R&B artist’s self-titled EP, which are 5 tracks of atmospheric R&B with a little dubstep and hip-hop/trip-hop.

Produced by Anthony Young, Eyes On Me feature that trademark of atmospheric R&B, where this talented Londoner switches from smooth vocals to an even cooler freestyling – what a treat!

Here’s your chance to listen to Eyes On Me. Have you heard his debut EP? If not, get your skates on and listen to it here.

Star Song: Dear Molly – Carmireli

High energy Dear Molly is the latest single by singer CARMIRELI. The New Yorker has been on the music scene since the age of 18, working with music producer Tony Gross the founder GFI Music and Castle Nine Entertainment.

Now she’s signed up with Max Gousse’s new record label Artistry Entertainment Worldwide. Gousse, an ex- Def Jam Recording executive who worked with BEYONCE and P.DIDDY, saw a host of You Tube videos of CARMIRELI covering mainstream songs. He liked what he heard and BANG – Dear Molly was born! Since its release the electro-pop dance floor filler has received untold amount of attention across the internet.

Dear Molly is CARMIRELI’s first release single from Artistry Entertainment Worldwide. It got me going, so it’ll be interesting to hear her future stuff! Check it out!

Star Song: LilMissFly6 – So Wonderful

Today’s song is called So Wonderful by Seattle-based rapper LIMISSFLY6. This track is from her latest mixtape Twitter Tape Vol.1 released earlier this year. Let me tell you something, it was so HARD to pick a favourite from the mixtape –every single track (and I really mean EVERY SINGLE TRACK) is out of sight! After hours of listening, it was a tossup between So Wonderful and the super bad Automatic (featuring Andro Loud). In the end So Wonderful was chosen the song of the day as it is the PERFECT introduction this superfly rapper’s super cool raps over that summer-breezing track.

I don’t usually beg – but I’M BEGGING YOU NOW- listen to So Wonderful. Before I sign off, check out Everyone Was On It – another badass track! Oh what the hell, head over to her Bandcamp page and check out the whole mixtape!

Star Song: The Titus 1: 1-4 – Don’t Tread On Me (feat. Beatz Illthoughtz Productionz)

Today’s song is the hard-hitting Don’t Thread on Me by THE TITUS 1: 1-4. Rapping from the age of 13, THE TITUS 1: 1-4 – whose real name is Titus Brawley- never viewed it as a music career because it’s something he loves doing. Whilst most rappers of today speak of materialistic things, THE TITUS 1: 1-4 uses his talent to express his thoughts and concerns of the on-going issues in his community and feels that more issues could be raised through music.

So when you listen to this track, pay careful attention to the words that reflects the harsh reality of Afro- American society of today… don’t get lost in that catchy beat (I almost did!)

Review: Kings of Lowertown – 60 More Miles

1. Long Long While
2. Pembroke Murder Ballad
3. Shotgun Preacher
4. Ain’t No Mercy In This Cruel Old World (Gots Me A Blunt)

Masters of ‘dirt blues’, KINGS OF LOWERTOWN is unleashing their album 60 More Miles this October. The first release from the album Shotgun Preacher is the perfect introduction to their four-track production. This two and a half minute production offers no more than pure low-down dirty blues which is complicated by distorted vocals – definitely a standout track.

The album continues to offer that good old gritty blues with that muzzled, distorted vocals with Ain’t No Mercy In This Cruel Old World (Gots Me A Blunt) – but this time, there is a very light, sweet and distorted presence of the harmonica. The distortedness is obviously the band’s trademark -which I must say is totally ingenious!

Long, Long While is a more racy gritty rock creation which perhaps has an infusion of THE DOORS and TOM WAITS, whereas Pembroke Murder Ballad features a very light, feel good summery melody with the gritty guitar raging in the background, giving it a slight bluesy edge to it.

These guys were named one of the best bands in Ottawa last year by the Big Beat Blog. When you listen to Shotgun Preacher, it won’t be hard to figure out why they are worthy of that title.
