Song of the Day: Ooh La La – Harry Hench

Recently signed to Manchester Music Group label, owned by Mr. Jones who was previously featured with tracks, ‘You’ and ‘Brand New’, HARRY HENCH shows the world what he’s made of with debut song ‘Ooh La La’, out now for your pleasure.

With a uplifting and flirtatious Latin-esque vibe, which is very fitting in becoming a summer anthem, the single shows Harry’s appreciation for his love interest, making him go simply, ooh la la!

Hailing from a small town in northwest England, Harry started his journey many years ago as answer to relieve the pressure of everyday life. Despite others trying to discourage him from his path, Harry casted any negativity aside and continued to hone his craft.

Harry’s journey is more than chasing frame; it’s more of a journey of self-discovery and self-love, reminding himself that – in the words of Muhammad Ali- ‘Impossible is Nothing’. Through his journey, Harry aims to inspire shy, troubled and vulnerable kids, that no one thinks of, to never give up on their dreams – no matter how great it is.

Song of the Day: 23 – The Burma

Opening with a touch of the psychedelic, THE BURMA‘s latest single ‘23’ (released via The Burma Music Group) is an airy blend of retro-filtered synth stabs and indie rock grooves. The track captures the longing for what could have been dabbed with a touch of nostalgia that brings the work of Beach House, Real Estate, and Beach Fossils to mind.

Offering insight, The three-piece indie rock act from Ireland describes how the song was born: “‘23’” is the first song we wrote and recorded for our second album. It’s one of those songs that came together really quickly. The song you hear now has barely changed from its initial conception, which is a rare thing for us!”

2023 is looking to be a big year for the band: their sophomore album is due for release later this year. Additionally, they will be performing their first-ever live show in the UK on Saturday the 19th of August in London.

Their debut album, Sucker For Stars, was the No. 3 best-selling Independent Irish Album the week of its release, landing on the Irish charts and placing in both the Irish Homegrown Top 20 Singles and Top 5 Irish iTunes Singles.

Named after The Burma Steps in Cobh, The Burma has been praised by recognised webzines such as The Rolling Stone India, CLASH Magazine, Hot Press, Atwood Magazine, NOTION Magazine, and Medium.com/Pop Off and more, while receiving spins on RTÉ 2FM with Dan Hegarty.

Song of the Day: IG – Wxndchime

WXNDCHIME is a British-Jamaican artist from South London who much like the musicians who influence her, utilises her music as a tool of expression against injustice. Having lived in both England and Jamaica, her sound which creates allegorical reggae/neo-soul infused melodies, overtly reflects on the Black/Caribbean influence on British society and the reverberations of this.

She explains her name as the symbolism of making peaceful noise from collisions. She removes the ‘I’, replacing this with the militancy of ‘X’.

‘IG’ is the first single from Wxndchime’s EP ‘IOUSZ’ which features eclectic sounds heavily influenced by the reggae, hip hop and neo soul/jazz she grew up on.

The song is an introduction to the complexity and dynamism that is Wxndchime, with distinctive lyrical verses and R&B hooks inspired by the harmonic arrangements of her gospel choir days. Through upbeat, playful melodies the song explores deeper realities of chauvinism, mental health, and a world heavily focused on image and surveillance.

The song features North London’s afro swing artist Tape, and the music from Alabama producer Yunnie is a collaboration which can be heard throughout her EP along with tracks produced by SpaceAgeRasta and Sena Beats. Have a listen below…

“Down For Me” is a melodic track that showcases C.T’s smooth vocals as he glides effortlessly over a laidback trap beat. Packed with catchy melodies and a huge, anthemic hook that will no doubt have everyone singing along after one listen, ‘Down For Me’ shines the spotlight on a fast-rising talent with undeniable star quality and a bright future ahead.

Speaking further on “Down For Me”, C.T says, “For me, it’s about that question you ask yourself in the early stages of a relationship when you like or love someone, but you don’t quite know what their intentions are, so you stay guarded and reserved, almost unsure but maintaining interest out of curiosity and want for connection.”

‘Down For Me’ is available via various music platforms. Check out the video below…
