New Track! Trickle Trickle – Kill J
Following the overwhelming success of You’re Good But I’m Better, which topped the Hype Machine chart at no.1, Danish experimental alt-pop sensation KIll J hopes to bring the same success with her new single, Trickle Trickle.
Drawing on the soundscapes of previous efforts, Propaganda and You’re Good But I’m Better, the three-and-a-half minute production takes on a more fragile and vulnerable feel. Though a more emotionally expressive piece that sees KILL J reveal a tender side to her distinctive charisma, the track’s punchy bass and expertly layered echoing vocals are still unmistakable.
Named ‘Band of the Week’ by The Guardian newspaper, KIll J has already gained a legion of fans, whilst receiving airplay from the likes of Huw Stephens and Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Mamiko Motto on NTS Radio and even a spin on Beats1. Armed with her latest release, she only looks set to further her position as one of Denmark’s most exciting exports: a reputation that will be cemented when she plays SXSW this year.
Trickle Trickle will form part of her debut EP, Quasi, set for release in March 2015.
Album Review: Papa Yon – All On Me
PAPA YON slammed a hot one in the form of his latest autobiographical effort, All On Me, released on New Year’s Day.
The New Mexican singer/rapper utilises head rolling modern hip-hop and chilled out R&B rhythms to produce 13 very relatable and at times heartfelt tracks, each revealing an aspect of his battle with life.
If you haven’t heard of this multi-talented act, I promise you, he definitely deserves a listen. All On Me is available via iTunes.
Must Listens: Start the Show, What it Do (watch the video below), Interlude II Ride, Doin’ What I’m Doin, Just Live.
New Track! Colored Shadez – Black The ILLA
The chances are you may not heard of BLACK THE ILLA – well let me tell you, he doesn’t hold back especially in his latest track, Colored Shadez.
With clever samples of Betty White’s 80s single Keep Love New, the Alabama-based emcee addresses the systematic racism that plagues the US today. As a voice in the South, ILLA collects his thoughts giving a thoughtful analysis on the issue of race.
Colored Shadez is available as a free download via SoundCloud.
KYLE LETTMAN unveiled a brand new STEAMY visual to another slamming R&B joint, Explode, set for release this month.
Directed by Chas Appeti, the video sees the UK singer and his love interest struggling to keep a part. The video perfectly captures the tempting, yet excruciating, experience of an illicit love affair expressed in the track.
Kyle – who worked with the likes of Mary J Blige and Ne-Yo – had a successful 2015, after dropping tracks including Moving Too Fast, which gained support across 1Xtra, Kiss, Capital Xtra and releasing his Under Construction EP. He ended the year by receiving major attention across social media, with his cover of Adele’s Hello, hitting over 2 million views on his Facebook page in a matter of weeks.
He is now back for 2016, with an EP dropping later this month – look out for that! But for now, watch the video to Explode.
