    James O’Hurley Shares Stripped-Back EP ‘A Moment Alone’

    NEW LEASE MUSIC has unearthed some of the raw talent from true Troubadours of late – first with Nick Edwards, whose 2024 EP ‘Live At Yellow Arch’ currently holds the blog’s Album of the Week title over on Instagram. Then there’s Ben Reel whose single ‘I Will’, offers a rich fusion of indie rock, soul and disco, with an intimate, singer-songwriter feel.

    Now the blog introduces the remarkably robustly raw talent of South London’s singer-songwriter JAMES O’HURLEY. His rich authentic fusion of folk, blues, rock and country roots, which echoes some of his idols, Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Jimi Hendrix and The Rolling Stones has earned him over 50K streams on Spotify alone with single ‘Red’.

    To keep the fiery glow going, James O’Hurley shares his live EP, ‘A Moment Alone’. Recorded at The Factory Studios, the latest collection includes stripped-back and compelling versions of some of James’ favourite singles from his well-received debut album ‘A Certain Stranger’. From the very beginning, you’re greeted with the warm grit of guitar plucks, which serves as a perfect platform to really home in and take in James’ soul-drenched vocals – reminiscent of a more rugged Michael Hutchence of INXS. No embellishments are needed here; the simple pairing of voice and guitar hits that rare balance of vulnerability and strength.

    It’s hard to believe that, after extensively touring and performing in various different bands and working in the live events industry, James was ready to hung up his guitar and turn his back on music for good. Burnt out and creatively stagnant, he hit a personal low. But at that breaking point, he found something deeper—his true voice.

    ‘A Moment Alone’ is now available on all leading platforms. Why not have a listen below…

    Must Listens: Four Long Days, Lighthouse, Wolves, Red.

    Natty Boi Zoe Drops Album ‘Black Renaissance’.

    New York-based rapper and spoken word artist NATTY BOI ZOE returns with his compelling full-length project, ‘Black Renaissance’. Dropped on 17th August — a symbolic date honouring civil rights activist Marcus Garvey — the 14-track album serves as a deeply personal and politically charged statement.

    On ‘Black Renaissance’, Natty Boi Zoe reflects on his disciplined upbringing and how it shaped his resilience navigating life as a young Black man. The album delves into themes of love, systemic injustice, community struggle, and self-awareness — offering both vulnerability and strength in equal measure.

    Sonically, Natty Boi Zoe takes a subtle yet impactful detour from his usual sound. By weaving in lush samples from classic slow jams, he crafts an atmosphere that’s both nostalgic and soul-stirring. Yet, the dreamy production never overshadows his message — his commanding, spoken-word-like delivery ensures every bar hits with purpose, especially for those who relate to the lived experiences of Black men in America.

    ‘Black Renaissance’ is a bold, unfiltered expression of truth and identity — one that resonates well beyond beats and rhymes.

    Now streaming on all major platforms — tap in below and experience the renaissance for yourself.

    Must Listens: Black Power, Hear No Evil, Tell Me, On My Mind, Private Dancer

    Alaska, Alex Ludovico & Jason Griff drops ‘Yesterday’s Weirdness is Tomorrow’s Reason Why’ EP

    As previously teased with the release of two singles, ‘Vanity Plates (Remix)’ and ‘This is Fine Meme,’ Alaska, Alex Ludovico and Jason Griff have unleashed their latest EP ‘Yesterday’s Weirdness is Tomorrow’s Reason Why’.

    The EP is a collection of five collaborative songs that belong on everyone’s Summer bangers playlists. From the heavy hitting bass and distorted hooks on ‘On the Lam’ to the cautionary tales of excessive reminiscing on ‘Nostalgia,’ this EP flexes numerous styles but never once feels inconsistent. Even the closing song ‘Maybe Tomorrow,’ while bordering on being an emotional ballad, serves as a perfect nightcap to a wild adventure brought forth by the previous four songs.

    Check out ‘Yesterday’s Weirdness is Tomorrow’s Reason Why’ EP below…
