Track Premiere: Only – Dorian Thorson

NEW LEASE MUSIC is EXTREMELY pleased to be the first to present DORIAN THORSON‘s brand new single titled ‘Only’.

Boasting a laid-back, trap/afterhours vibe, ‘Only’ is about experiencing that first love and how it can fade away without having any real closure.

Speaking of his new release, Dorian says: “I wrote this song as a goodbye to mine as I’m pretty sure I’ll never see them again. I didn’t really get the closure I would have liked so ‘Only’ is my closure. Don’t get it twisted, I’ve moved on years ago but this song tells a key part of my life story and needed to be released to the world. That’s just how i want all my proceeding work to be –  Journalistic, personal yet relatable material.”

‘Only’ was supposed to be included in his debut album ‘The Come Up’ (check out the album and review here.) Dorian explains: “I felt like ‘Only’ didn’t fit among the others as it has a whole different instrumental for it.”

Out today on all major download and streaming sites, ‘Only’ marks the beginning of Dorison’s shift from his ‘hip-hop/Rnb’ combo to something more sensual and soulful. So keep your eye on this serious contender as he releases more material throughout the year.

Electro Duo Humans Drops Dancefloor Number, ‘Beggin’

Robbie Slade and Peter Ricq – aka HUMANS – have recently dropped their brand new track, ‘Beggin’, an upbeat, danceable electro-pop track with a groove-driven bassline and catchy hooks.

Since their 2018 appearance on the blog with video for track, ‘Sip It’, the Canadian indie-electronic duo have been focusing on performance and production styles of both the past and present, and have consistently impressed audiophiles with their technical and compositional skills. Their latest LP ‘Going Late’, released late 2019, features Grammy-winning producer Carlos De La Garza on album track ‘Still About You’ as well as So Loki for vocals on the track ‘RUN’.

Check out the video for ‘Beggin’ below…

Chynna Lewis Shares Her Brand New Single, ‘Mind And Soul’

CHYNNA LEWIS fell in love with a close friend and out of fear of rejection of wanting more than just a casual fling, she kept her cards close to her chest.

After harbouring those feelings, the Taiwanese Canadian singer-songwriter plucked up the courage to call him. Once the secret was out, the fear of rejection quickly turned to feeling empowered for taking action…and this inspired her to release the brand new single, ‘Mind and Soul’.

Sporting a rather salacious alt-afterhours R&B/soul vibe, ‘Mind and Soul’ explores the playfulness and excitement of a definite attraction between two people… but with the trials and tribulations of today’s dating world, which presents the illusion of choice that exists through apps and people playing games, It makes it near impossible to get the stage of expressing raw and honest feelings in a clear way.

This one’s a real gem…make sure you check out ‘Mind and Soul’ below, out now on all major download/streaming sites.

Citizen Kay Teams Up With Genesis Owusu For Some ‘Funny Business’

Australian hip-hop artist CITIZEN KAY dishes up a tasty fun-packed, funk-fuelled joint titled ‘Funny Business’. Paying homage to the glory days of soulful US rap music of the 80s, the accompanied video could be mistaken for a US cult 80s movie or sitcom, which features the rapper kitted out as a typical high-flying yuppie.

Speaking on the release, Citizen Kay says “The track explores our relationship with mainstream media and how we’re expected to trust it all without question. People need to find their own truths. Stop adopting everything you read or see without researching it for yourself.”

2020 marks a fresh chapter for the ARIA-nominated artist who has toured Australia extensively, supporting the likes of Public Enemy, Run The Jewells, Ice Cube, Danny Brown, Wiz Khalifa and Earl Sweatshirt.

‘Funny Business’ is now out on all major download/streaming sites…but before you head out, check out the dope visuals for the single below…
