I don’t usually feature instrumentals here on NEW LEASE MUSIC, but I thought I try something a little different with Polish experimental trio FISH BASKET‘s piece entitled ‘Rainfall’. As hump day is just hours away, I thought you guys would fully appreciate the sublimely tranquil live instrumentation.
‘Rainfall’ is taken from their self-titled album, which contains over an hour of melancholic and melodic pieces, with relaxing riffs which can get all heavy and dark.
Have a listen to the live version of ‘Rainfall’, performed at their single’s release party last month.
Rapper and entrepreneur EMBER PHOENIX drops the release of his new single and visuals for ‘Milli On The Low’, premiering on Link Up TV. Produced by RagoArt, who has made hits for the likes of Aitch, B Young, Rapman and Ramz, ‘Milli On The Low’ is a summer anthem for the hustlers, inspiring everyone to get their money game on point with an infectious hook.
One of London’s most exciting rap artists, Ember has caught the attention of industry heavyweights such as DJ Charlie Sloth who invited him on BBC Radio 1 Xtra’s Fire In The Booth segment, as well as an appearance on MTV’s The Wrap Up Show. Making waves internationally, Ember flexed his songwriting prowess, achieving a Number 1 single in India writing for blockbuster composer A.R Rahman, best known for his work on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack.
Ember’s passion for creating music is only matched for his love for entrepreneurship. Putting his business acumen acquired on the streets in legitimate ways, Ember launched his own independent record label The Cold City as well as a successful clothing line Cold City Clothing.

Infusing R&B with trap, Bristol singer-songwriter SOLO JANE‘s compelling single,’Why Me?’, deals with real life issues, and with a hard hitting rap feature from Harts Hozé, they both deliver the lines as if they’re dictating what’s happening as it occurs.
Jane says of the single: “The inspiration for Why Me came after a long week of constant let downs by close friends followed by the all too familiar excuses that come with them. Combined with that feeling of dread you feel when every move you make seems to be the wrong one. I guess I had finally reached my peak of frustration and anger”.
“Why Me is dedicated to anyone who ever feels that moment of ultimate annoyance that they just want to scream and go crazy! Whilst also understanding that although people may act in a way to cause hurt, and not every move you make will be the correct step forward, that in the end you will win and people’s actions won’t go unnoticed”, she continued.
‘Why Me?’ follows her feature with Drum and Bass producer Hillsdom, which hit 200k streams. Check out the epic track below…
Over the past few years, Juno award nominated/multi-platinum selling artist Alyssa Reid – aka ASHS – has been honing her craft; becoming the go-to songwriter for artists like Bülow (‘Not A Love Song’) and Virginia to Vegas (‘Selfish’). Now the 26-year-old is recasting her signature smoky vocals to form the foundation of her most ambitious project to date.
Her bouncing new single, ‘My Ex’, goes a bumpy journey of getting over a lover. For most people time heals heartbreak, but ASHS finds solace in songwriting, where she concludes that life goes on just fine after heartache. Have a listen below…
Free spirited folk singer /songwriter KATHERINE ABBOTT‘s single, ‘Lullaby for Lucas’ is a song about forgiveness and not being so quick to judge others. Written after a man named Lucas, who she met whilst walking the Camino de Santiago, Abbott felt compelled to tell his story of an opera singer turned nomad.
She explains, “Lucas was an opera singer in Vienna but had lost his voice and had taken to living a nomadic existence. We had a jam in a bar one night and he tried to sing but his voice just came out as this croak which brought him to tears.”
‘Lullaby for Lucas’ glows with warm guitar melodies providing the backdrop for her delicate, ethereal vocals and storytelling lyricism. The minimalist arrangement allows for Abbott to demonstrate her ability to craft authentic music, creating a poignant and euphoric emotion.
