EP Review: Until The End – Melanie Crew

Melanie Crew

London-based singer and musician MELANIE CREW released her first ever EP, Until The End just ten days ago!

The guitarist and clarinet player displays all the qualities of  honing in potential listeners with the soothing presence of the lone acoustic guitar with sugary sweet and angelic vocals. It’s definitely a winning combination which somehow puts me in the mind of a lighter and chirpy version of Joni Mitchell. You’ll be a fool if you pass up on this six-track EP…go on, take time out and have a listen.

#TheMustListens: Hiding Away, Do You Know, Waiting For Someone.

Dynamic duo DISTANT LIGHT will be dropping  their new reggae-fused track Raggamuffin at the end of the month.

The producers hit the music landscape last year with their official remix of UK R&B singer Angel’s chart-topping track Wonderful. The garage number quickly got the stamp of approval from leading tastemakers, DJ EZ from Kiss 100 and BBC 1Xtra’s DJ Cameo. Their remix of Alpines No Other Lover was snapped up by Clash and further supported by Pitchfork gaining them further kudos in the musicsphere. 

The two wasn’t afraid to work their magic on Ellie Goulding’s Beating Heart, Misha B’s Home Run and top 10 smasher All Cried Out by Blonde. Now these guys are ready to unleash their insanely Garage-fuelled effort with a heavy dose of reggae, thanks to reggae singer Conkarah.

Raggamuffin is out on 28th August.

Mixtape Review: ThatYoung – Young Timo

ThatYoung Mixtape

For the last week or so, I seen this new emcee YOUNG TIMO tearing up the internet with his debut offering ThatYoung mixtape, so I thought I give him a trial.

…And boy am I glad I did. Featuring 17 tracks, the BrightLife Media recruit adds extra spice to classics from Pharrell Williams, Beenie Man and even The Chordettes who had a hit with Mr. Sandman back in the 1950s…and EVERY single track is topped off by this upcomer’s lazing-in-the-summer flow.

Since its release last month, ThatYoung mixtape has generated close to 2,000 steams. Wanna hear what all the hype’s about? Well check it out right here. (Highly recommended)

#The MustListens: (it was hard to choose a favorite, but here goes) Anytime, Frontin’, Beenie Man, Smile Soul Mate, Ass Unfinished
