Alt songbird Seyblu shares her pulsating new single, ‘Honest’.
SEYBLU‘s latest offering, ‘Honest’ was initially directed at someone that couldn’t be honest with themselves, even while alone in their thoughts… but as she progresses in writing the single, Seyblu realised that it was a message to herself.
‘Honest’ features Seyblu’s cousin, Eve Parker Finley, who adds the emotive violin strings to the soulful backdrop and the brooding electronic bass, which perfectly adds that level of visceral tension that’s needed to drive the message of the song.
‘Honest’ was released last Friday (23rd June) across various music platforms…why not check it out below…

The Hoodies Remake Classic Rock Hit ‘Summer of 69’ With New Single And Video
Canadian singer Bryan Adams released his hit single ‘Summer of ’69’ on 17th June 1985. On the heels of the Rock anthem’s 38th anniversary, the viral rap sensations known as THE HOODIES share their take on the original song’s concept. Released to all major digital streaming platforms on this year’s summer solstice (21st June), the new single finds brothers E-Class and Young Poppa claiming dominance ahead of the season with braggadocious raps over producer A2’s chopped sample of the original melody and famous guitar riff.
Hailing from New York, The Hoodies are brothers Eben “E-Class” Nettles and Umar “Young Poppa” Abrams. The duo’s name serves as a tribute to the unjust government-sanctioned killings of young Black men, reclaiming the often demonized symbol of a Black man in a hoodie. Together, older brother E-Class (25) and younger brother Young Poppa (17) embody the fusion of two disparate generations and, consequently, imbue Hip-Hop’s throwback era as well as its promising future.
Best known for their viral social media freestyle series ‘In The Whip’, the two young emcees have been honing their craft since the ages of nine and four respectively. With impressive wordplay matched by sharp flows and an unrivalled ferocity in their delivery, The Hoodies first became internet sensations in 2016 when a video recording of the two trading bars over Jadakiss and Styles P’s “One More Step” in the front seats of their mother’s car racked up over three million views on Facebook within a month. The clip eventually caught the attention of famous fans like D.L. Hughley, and even landed the two brothers on The Ellen Show.
Since then The Hoodies have gone on to release a full-length album (Blood Thicker) in 2019 and an EP (Where Should We Land) in 2020. They’ve also gone on to deliver electrifying performances for just about every online freestyle platform, including Hot97’s Funk Flex, Sway’s OVERTIME, Bars On I-95, and many more. Rap legends such as Black Thought, Fat Joe, 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Redman, Jadakiss, and Styles P have all vehemently co-signed the duo. With rightful comparisons to The Notorious B.I.G, Young Poppa’s talents extend beyond Rap and onto the small screen with supporting acting roles in shows like NBC’s The Last OG and Law & Order, Hulu’s Wu-Tang: An American Saga, and more.

Welsh alt-pop artist Mali Haf releases new single ‘Shwsh!’
MALI HAF takes a new direction with her brand of alternative pop through new single ‘SHWSH!’ which bursts of empowering pop that urges its listeners to be themselves in the worlds of Reality TV and social media. There is empathy for how we have to navigate the bombardment of media advice, designed to create dissatisfactions. The last verse wishes that we could be free to allow love into our lives.
The other clear message in the lyrics is that your gender identity is personal to you, no-one should dictate how you should express it. The single will be accompanied by a video which depicts Mali being auditioned for the part of playing a “woman”.
‘SHWSH!’ is the first single leading towards an EP in the Autumn. This new material is a collaboration with the South Wales based producer Minas. Have a listen below…
