UK singer-songwriter LIAM L JOSEPH has a gift for turning life’s experiences into music, capturing raw emotion in every note. His latest single, ‘Made For Me’, emerged from a moment of inspiration on a scenic beach in Las Palmas, Spain, where the sound of waves, wind, and laughter, framed by blue skies and towering mountains, sparked sweet, harmonic melodies in his mind.
The track blends smooth neo-soul textures with Liam’s serene vocals, gliding over a warm, grooving bassline that reflects his multi-instrumentalist roots. The result is a romantic song that feels effortless, tender, and timeless. ‘Made For Me’ is now available on all major streaming platforms.
At 16, he composed his first piece for a choir, a milestone that quickly led him into broader songwriting, performance, and production. Music has been central to Liam’s life from an early age. Raised in a musical household — with a singer mother, a multi-instrumentalist father, and musician brothers— he was immersed in melody and rhythm from day one. His passion was further cemented when his brother gifted him his first professional bass guitar, a Yamaha TRB. Influenced by artists such as John Legend, he emphasises emotional clarity and authenticity, believing that honesty is essential for a song to resonate truly.
Beyond his solo work, Liam has established himself as a sought-after session musician, performing with artists including Usher Raymond and Jocelyn Brown, while contributing to multiple collaborative projects. During the COVID-19 lockdown, he co-founded the band formerly known as JAAD, releasing original material. Surrounded by so many talented creatives in the band, Liam re-ignited his creative spark, paving the way for his solo single ‘Set The Tone’ in September 2024.
With ‘Made For Me’, Liam L Joseph continues to define his artistic identity, delivering music that showcases his versatility, musicianship, and creative vision.

UK artist BONNIE FREECHILD returns with ‘1993’, a heartfelt R&B track that pays tribute to the golden era of love songs while showcasing her own modern, soulful edge.
Opening with gentle piano chords, dreamy strings, and twinkling textures, the song eases into a laidback percussive groove, setting the stage for Bonnie’s rich, buttery vocals. With lyrics like “love me like we’re stuck in 1993” and “rollerskates holding hands in the summer, mixtapes made just for your lover,” the song captures the sweetness of old-school romance – when love felt real, vulnerable, and lasting.
‘1993’ blends Bonnie’s signature sultry vocal delivery with classic R&B influences, echoing the lush soundscapes of the ‘90s while staying grounded in today’s scene. It’s a nostalgic love letter to an era defined by red roses, butterflies, and the kind of music that made you believe in forever love.
Speaking on the track, Freechild says “I just want to be loved like they loved in 90s R&B! That raw, simple, passionate romance- the videos were intrinsically romantic, the lyrics emotionally intelligent, the melodies silky and smooth. I wanted to write something that feels like being wrapped in nostalgia but still makes you move- soft, intimate vocals, a sexy slow-wind breakdown, all over rose-petal energy.” It’s a sentiment she’s also taking to local press: at a time when dating often feels chaotic, disconnected, and more about swipes than slow dances, ‘1993’ offers an antidote- a reminder of when love was simple, honest, and real.
Co-written with producer and artist Kwest, ‘1993’ draws inspiration from a foundational year in R&B, when timeless songs like SWV’s ‘Weak,’ Mariah Carey’s ‘Dreamlover,’ Janet Jackson’s ‘That’s the Way Love Goes,’ and Toni Braxton’s ‘Breathe Again’ defined a generation. Bonnie Freechild is no stranger to acclaim, either. She has performed at the BBC Proms, been recognised as a finalist in BBC 1XTRA’s Performing Arts Fund, and had her music featured across TV and radio in Southeast Asia. With ‘1993,’ Bonnie Freechild cements her place as one of the UK’s most compelling emerging voices in Pop-R&B, delivering a timeless ode to the beauty and allure of old-school love.
This release is as homegrown as it gets – with a music video on the horizon filmed on an iPhone in a vintage car garage, put together with friends, community spaces, and Bonnie’s own hands-on touch. It’s “iPhone and a dream” energy, much like the 90s R&B that inspired it: simple, direct, and full of heart. No gloss, just real romance and connection.
That same spirit runs through everything Bonnie is doing around 1993. She celebrated the release with a live performance on October 23rd at Go East Vintage Market – bringing music into community spaces, with food, and culture. With 90s-inspired merch (from cassette-shaped keyrings to physical CDs with personal messages) and a string of creative collaborations, Bonnie is focused on creating experiences that feel personal and unforgettable. It’s all building towards the launch of her debut EP in December 2025, where she’ll expand on the same themes of intimacy, nostalgia, and fearless self-expression.
“I just want to be loved like they loved in 90s R&B! I have always loved 90s R&B, and in amongst me navigating the complexities of technology and chaos of dating in the 2020s I’ve often thought, man I wish I could have that type of love they seemed to have back then. That raw, simple, passionate romance – that 90s R&B kind of love.
I had the idea of writing a song about it – a nostalgic vibe, with a fresh take. The videos from that time were intrinsically romantic, the lyrics emotionally intelligent, the melodies silky and smooth. I wanted to write something that feels like you’re wrapped in a blanket of that nostalgia, but still makes you move. The kind of track you don’t just hear, you feel – soft, intimate vocals, a sexy slow-wind breakdown, all over rose-petal energy. Gentle and romantic but still a bop you’ll need to rewind.
I met producer and artist ‘Kwest’ when we both performed at a gig last year, and as instant fans of each other’s music we started doing some writing. When I shared this concept, we vibed on the piano, riffing around ‘love me like R&B’ and well…1993 rhymes with R&B! When we looked into it we realised that although we are referencing the entire decade, 1993 was quite a foundational year. Some of my favourite songs ever came out then: SWV’s Weak, Mariah Carey’s Dreamlover, Janet Jackson’s That’s the Way Love Goes, Toni Braxton’s Breathe Again, Tevin Campbell’s Can We Talk, Xscape’s Just Kickin’ It. Jodeci dropped Cry for You and Feenin’. Even De La Soul released Buhloone Mindstate, a more grown and experimental record – there’s really no 90s R&B without hip-hop running through it. Mariah even built her signature sound from that blend. And in the UK, Eternal made their debut with Stay. Even Poetic Justice came out that year with Janet and Tupac – the music, the film, the culture all intertwined.
There’s just this essence in 90s R&B that’s missing in today’s digital world. It’s raw, grounding, and honest. And the truth is we all deserve that kind of love!! This song is for anyone who is lucky enough to have it, anyone who craves it, and everyone who wishes love still felt that way.” – Bonnie Freechild.
