London rapper COOPS is gearing up to release new project God Complex on 6 June. He marks his return with a teaser, More Time.
Having released his Lost Soul mixtape in 2014, including tracks Chillin’ and Blessings, this new release touches on themes including self belief, spirituality and habits and vices.
Coops says of the album: “God Complex was a musical experiment. Some songs I wrote, and some I just went into the booth and started recording. My intention for this approach was to discover something new musically and within myself.”
Keeping in time with their infamous hip-hop/pop trademark, SOHO KINGS exchange their usual super energetic arrangements for a chocolate-smooth, afterhours theme – check it out and get yours for FREE via SoundCloud.
I have another smooth R&B number, in the form of Pass Me By, coming from singer and rapper JOVEL. The single is coming from his debut EP The Void, out next month.
Featuring a brooding yet soulful/trap arrangements, ‘Pass Me By’, a song that firmly focuses on depression and suicide. The four-minute production is a great insight into the four-track set as it further touches on the aforementioned issues and also covers topics such as addiction, loneliness and emptiness. With the newcomer’s hard-hittingly raw delivery, the project flips between waves of alternative R&B, soul, pop and hip-hop.
The singer and rapper aims to make his new EP as interactive and engaging as possible. Unveiled in 15 second episodes on his Instagram account, JOVEL will broadcast The Void: An Instagram Movie, a compilation of completely fresh footage that interlink the EP’s tracks and videos together. Released fortnightly, each cut will continue a story that develops throughout the campaign, giving his fans the chance to interact with the Londoner directly.
The Void EP is all set for released on 20th June…but for now, listen to Pass Me By
